EDIT: 05 May 2018 Template, skinpack and Normalmap updated with minor fix.  I have amended the hinges on the engine cowling area to a more realistic version.

 

If anyone wishes to move the fixed layers to their existing template, simply copy the Cowl Access Hinges and Cowl Access Hinges Hi layers from the v2 Bf109E7_Public_4k.psd template.  Also copy the New Panels & Rivets layer from the alpha template.

ICDP 

The problem with the SHADOW (Canavas Areas)  With your skins everything looks good (1 pictures). 

But when loading a template in the GIMP, this layer looks like this (2 pictures).

If this layer is turned down or off, then the shadow disappears (3 pictures).

 

Is this a problem in your template or am I doing something wrong ?

Hi Kraftwood,

 

GIMP has issues with certain types of layers such as the one you describe.  The only fix is to adjust them as you have done.  Apologies but all my templates are created in Photoshop.

With gimp almost always need to move some layers outside of their "groups" to make them work properly.

Now just time for the Hs.129b

 

I base all my templates on the official ones.  Without these as a source it would take far too much time to work from scratch.  I have asked Jason if we can have the official templates for the Hs-129, IL2 3M etc.

It has been an awful long wait for the templates  :( We were spoiled with the release of the 4k Spit template alongside the release of the aircraft!  :rolleyes:

Gimp handles Layer Modes differently than Photoshop. In PS layer modes wihtin groups will still affect all contents while in gimp it does only affect contents wihtin the same group.

 

If you for example have a weathering layer set to 'overlay' pakced within a group it won't be displayed properly in gimp. The solution is to drag it out of it's subgroup.

They are the black edges to the MG Drums. Upper right corner of the template just under the black disc. You will need to mask them out in the alpha or cut them (the black backgrounds or even the part) out of the skin. It was like that in the 2K template also. In the end I cut them out of mine.

Hi

 

@IDCP, please see these more cclear screens ..............>

 

@BOO......Thanks for your help but as this issue is not shown on my photoshop working base, I do not see how to correct it ?

In fact, issue is shown only when skin is ready to be controlled in the viewer or in game.

Ive just done a quick rought and dirty. The parts affected are Aircraft parts, The RLM 65, and The base. It is possible to mask the offending part with an alpha set to less than 6 on the grey scale. I just cut mine out cos I'm short on time.

 

2 Images - one showing where the part is (or was)  the second showing that its removal (or masking) has the desired effect.

YYEEPP !!!   many thanks @BOO !!!!!

 

Your help is much appreciated and trouble solved by hiding the two parts in the ALPHA channel as shown on your screen !!!

 

I can go ahead with the pack of 2.SchG.1  !!!   thanks a lot my friend !!!:salute::salute:

 

 

@E69_julian57......................YES STRANGE !!  ON some skins, no problem and some others problem...I think we are using some layers or not that are doing or not a "bug" with these parts.

 

Same with "Overall dirt streaks" (in the Generic weathering file)..try to activate it and check on the upper wings (looking closely) ;)

 

By the way the IDCP work is fantastic and thanks again !!!

of course when you delete these parts the wings guns don't work anymore......

 

Joking!! (at least I think I'm joking ;-/)

 

If you have the time, an alpha mask should be a less ...er....brutal solution.  The problem in the original 2K version was just down to the black background not being made transparent in the alpha (<5 in the greyscale). I think in the end I just made a layer for that part of the mask but I could be wrong since I just checked my original 2K template and the parts are missing (then again I do have a habit of catching keys and not noticing!!)

 

I'm surprised the same issue appeared in an ICDP template though. I use Gimp so perhaps its a conversion issue.

Dear IDCP, sorry to trouble again but just downloaded your last updated TEMPLATE and still serious issue in it !!!

 

Please check here below .....template was used as from download without any modification nor any addition ......just your basic template

 

 

flhtz47bs4pv2pozg.jpg

 

I know this issue from your first template model, it is the " Overall Dirt streaks" ( in the Generic weathering part)  hiding that layer cancel this howfull lines..

 

I use photo-shop pro (but an old version)

 

jyvbbb6ymop7yjezg.jpg

 

This issue was eventualy solved by hiding two parts on top right of the template.............

 

Except that from a skin to another one we find again same troubles and black parts shown on that screen.

 

 

For IDCP and all other skinners using the template...what is your solution to hide definitively this issue?

 

Hiding the two parts in the Alpha channel is not 100% suitable sometime yes , sometime not ...but impossible to understand why ?

 

 

Thank you by advance for your help;)

Hi all,

here are 14 skins of LG2's Emil painted using ICDP template. Thanks man ! The unit's blason is made by csThor: thank you too !

These are created to fly the scripted campaign Lions of Kalinin designed by Juri_JS. They are already loaded in the campaign file but it's better they are included here too.

Hi Boo,

I thought it was fine to post here. There are so much pinned topic that some skins will be on the second page.

My two cents...
