daskal Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I cant help but notice the lack of mods (skins mainly) being put out to SB recently. Not that the lack of mods in itself is a "bad" thing, but there is barely anything showing up in the mods section since quite a while. Eversince ver 2.6 we have a ton of new stuff in the sim for skinning, but the previously rocketing modding appetite has seemingly disappeared... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Well they may not have individually made it to the downloads area, but there is a 130Mb+ skin pack for Rolling Thunder here:http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showpost.php?p=261942&postcount=1 Edited August 18, 2014 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Colossus Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I found that they are more difficult to do now. With the new engine, colors may look more washed out and muted, so the way they look in a paint program is different than how they actually appear in play. A lot of older skins I uploaded no longer look like their screenshots, paint schemes and camo patterns tend to look really faded. If you try and make a camo scheme that looks a bit weathered and faded out, it tends to look very faded out, almost imperceptible except at close range. If you want to see an example of this, look at the tracer effects of bullets and main gun rounds- they don't look as bright as they once did, as I believe these are 2D sprites.The older skins I've uploaded no longer resemble the screenshots, I've hesitated uploading new ones for the reason there is a new learning curve for me to find the right balance between colors being over saturated and cartoony looking or looking extremely faded so as to be practically not noticeable, and because of that, I've been too lazy to experiment with it lately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ_Fubar Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm with the good Captain here. I've been updating all of my tri-color skins and have several Czech and Chinese skins done as well, but am having a difficult time getting them just right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJ_Fubar Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 T-72M4, HMMWV, BMP-1 Ambulance (WZ-505), MT-55, 2S1, and M109. Only the T-72M4 and Hummers are complete, while I'm still massaging the dust on the WZ-505 to match the BMP-3 re-color. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpabrams Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 As for my modding I get into the sim with new upgrades. After 2-3 months I go back to other things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
