avlSteve Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Sorry guys, but I must say this even in this peaceful Christmas time... So, a developer scre...s something, then makes a correction and some customers thank (!) them for the remedy. Maybe I am really an old school (ofc I am - 40 yrs in IT bussiness), but it is just unbelievable how the sides are inverted - instead of devs appologies customers thank for correcting errors - unbelievable Seriously old school, I guess. The spell check underlines bussiness for me, but I guess y'all deliver perfection every time; Good for you. Merry Christmas, and tidings of joy and good will toward men!
CIA_Yankee_ Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 A hotfix for the version 1.008 has been deployed When the "Allies are red, enemies are blue" setting is enabled, chat messages from the allies are highlighted with red; Kicking from the server while the end mission timer is on was fixed; The main menu issues that used to appear after playing Multiplayer were fixed; "Show skins in Multiplayer" option was removed, the skins are always on now; The skin-related error message that used to pop-up in Train missions in Campaign was fixed; Padlock view was added to the Normal difficulty preset; The "i" key is now switching the instruments and markers on and off; The bug with Ju 87 prop visualization on long distances was fixed. Excellent, I'm especially happy with #7.

Solmyr Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Aren't we supposed to put our custom skins in "Il2 BoS/data/graphics/skins/" ?? I fail to see it in the game.. Thanks for the quik hotfix ! :-) Edit : Yes, was my bad, hadn't spot the file hadn't been correctly exported. Then I downloaded a dds converter for Gimp but it says I can't install it cause of the lack of a "lilgimp-2.0-0.dll" on my computer.. Edited December 25, 2014 by Solmyr
1CGS LukeFF Posted December 25, 2014 1CGS Posted December 25, 2014 What do you mean exactly? He was talking about you, as if it's somehow wrong to thank the team for putting out a patch right_before_Christmas.
Guest deleted@1562 Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 He was talking about you, as if it's somehow wrong to thank the team for putting out a patch right_before_Christmas. Christmas in Russia is on 6th January.
Ballermann Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Thanks to the Developement Team for the good Simulation! Keep it up. Many Thanks! Greeting Ballermann!
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Just tried to start skinning with the Fw 190 and noticed some very important technical parts and weathering layers are missing I've compared it to original skins and it's pretty much of a difference without those layers. Hope you can fix this when you return back from holiday Edited December 25, 2014 by Stab/JG26_5tuka
alpenspion Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Another update it seems, 159.28mb Where?
Saurer Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Another update it seems, 159.28mb Maybe you missed the first one yesterday and download now both of them
Feathered_IV Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I got the skin viewer one and the small hotfix. Not sure what this one was about.
avlSteve Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 I'm surprised nobody is jumping for joy with "Padlock view was added to the Normal difficulty preset;" Seems like I'd seen a lot of threads with people dying to have that, no?
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Not too happy about that one actually. Maybe if it's limited to 2km or so it won't be too gamey.
Lupus Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Thank you for the updates and the ability to skin our own planes easily. I really appreciate that. One question though, is there a way to change the default skins in the game? I'd really like to be able to make a custom default skin that gets applied to all the ai aircraft. Thanks in advance.
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 can we have pad lock set at 12km? so I can have an edge of were the enemy is at and I can get ready?
Lupus Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Is it just my download? Or my version of photoshop? I open the other templates just fine but I have this crazy blue line through the layered template of the 109 G2. Anyone else seeing this?
Sim Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 Is it just my download? Or my version of photoshop? I open the other templates just fine but I have this crazy blue line through the layered template of the 109 G2. Anyone else seeing this? Looks like a photoshop guide marker. They are not part of the template/image but are used to help with getting things aligned and such. Should be able to hide them using the "View->Show->Guides" menu.

III/JG11_Tiger Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Do you realise that the devs are living in Russia , and they don't celebrate Christmas now. So it's a normal working week for them, and don't worry they will have ten days long national holiday from 1st of January (celebrating New Year and their Christmas). Happy Christmas everyone . Not according to news reports today, I'm in Australia so can;t confirm but it seems Putin has vetoed holidays this year owing to the Russian economy, hope not for all the Russian workers sakes. Great work by 777, 1c and their associates this last couple of weeks, the ROF updates seems to have generated interest again I couldn't believe there were a few hard copies available for Christmas in our local EB games store and a pretty decent update for BOS as well, all we need is the Dserver and mission maker and we might start seeing some IL-2 FB type co-op battles, cant wait. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Hi, a quote from Jason... Just wanted to say have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Years! This time of year, myself and the team are a bit scarce due to holiday commitments and differing holiday calendars, but never fear there is more work to do and we'll be back at it soon. The team will essentially be absent from Dec. 28 till January 12th. I'll be offline quite a bit from Christmas Eve the 24th to about January 5th.

Actually the holidays begin on December 31st and last until January 11th since 1C director's name is not Putin. (btw, a veto? never heard of that) Also the customer support will remain available these 12 days, and I'll try to stay in touch as well.
JG1_Vonrd Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 None of the skin templates have any layers? Maybe my downloads were corrupted.
Yakdriver Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 or your software does not support this kind of template...?! just guessing.
JG1_Vonrd Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 It's pretty old ... Photoshop 6.0. So there should be layers? Will GIMP work?
AndyJWest Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Gimp seems to work, but it is a bit more involved - see this thread (about halfway down the first page onwards) http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/13622-skinning-quick-and-dirty-absolute-beginners/, and this thread on the RoF forum http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=112&t=37740&hilit=gimp+dds
lll/jg77duck109g Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 when will we be able to down load and install other peoples skins
vonPilsner Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 It's pretty old ... Photoshop 6.0. So there should be layers? Will GIMP work? Yes, you need this plugin to save to dds though: http://code.google.com/p/gimp-dds/
Bearcat Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 when will we be able to down load and install other peoples skins Some folks have already made some skins and are hosting them.. Look in this thread.
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Gun sounds in the city, eh? I suppose that's a step closer to a feature they said they wouldn't add - a ground war for Stalingrad. Hear, hear.
Jokker Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Yes, super great update again, big thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all
Bearcat Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 The skins update is just great! The more I play around with it the more I like it. I like the fact that things like weathering and such are already done but we have such a talented group of guys I am sure that someone will come up wit their own layers for that. I like the fact that we can just concentrate on the skin itself and I really like the fact that skinning in BoS is actually easier than skinning in IL2 because we already have the templates. In IL2 we had void files and we had to start from scratch for new aircraft. This is just great. The skin viewer is also fantastic! This one thing, giving users an outlet to add to the sim, has given it such a shot in the arm. Imagine once the ME and DS are finished. See what happens when users are given a chance to get involved and add our own flavor to the mix?
Solmyr Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Surely it's a great update, but my FPS significantly lowered since. As I hadn't a lot of room, now the game became unplayable. Please team, any idea/explanation ?
Apache_DMZ Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the great updates, Ive never been more happy with any PC game that ive bought in years, 190 flys sweet now, you guys have done yourselfs proud, best money ive ever spent, THANK YOU!!!
