cobrabase Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Stock skins are too gray for my taste. The best desert skins for M109s and M113s in the download section are for SB2 so I assume they won't work for 3. Ideas or anything in the works? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ_Fubar Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 There's been no change to any of the Arty models, so those skins work fine. As for the M113s, AFAIK all models - with the exception of the M1064 - have remained the same since 2.5, so you should be good there as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideas or anything in the works?Well SB2 is actually something different to SB Pro PE 2.XIf you mean the skins are for SB Pro PE 2.x, then yes they'll work, by and large, in SB Pro PE 3.x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobrabase Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks MAJ FUBAR but still have issues with a few; tried these in both the mod folder and directly adding them to the texture folder of my main game directory. Stock always still runs. No workie for me:desert M109 http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads/p13_sectionid/335/p13_fileid/2180desert hummer http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads/p13_sectionid/290/p13_fileid/1235couldn't find any desert M1064A3 skins but did try an assortment of desert skin packs for general m113 bodies - no go. All stock is seen. This worked no prob!Dirty Ass MT-55 http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads/p13_sectionid/300/p13_fileid/2057 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a no go for just desert skins.... odd. Is there an administrator setting I have to change? I've never seen this weirdness before. Tried both the game directory folder and the mods folder for my primary C: folder.All my modded M113 skins and M1a1 skins in woodland, winter and autumn folders have no issues, but when it comes to desert something weird happens.

Lt DeFault Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Are the ones that aren't working in ".bmp" format? If so, they might need to be converted to ".dds". Which I can do (for a small fee [your soul]). :1: (J/K, I'll do it for free. ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrabase Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) All files in question are DDS.Has anyone tried to replicate the problem? Someone just grab the M109 desert skin and try it in their sim. I don't know why it doesn't work for me.
