Karamalz Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Dear texture artists, I started a project for an online aircraft skin gallery. A place where you can share and download skins for the upcoming Battle of Stalingrad, aswell as older titles. As an artist you will be able to exhibit your skins, discover their value and get feedback (everybody loves praise). As a pilot, you will have a clean and structured gallery to easily browse through hundreds of skins, as well as rating and favouring. I need your help in creating the page. Tell me your opinion about the project. If you are an artist, and interested in the ongoing development, please get in touch with me via a private message. I would love to register you as a beta tester. You will be able to actively assist in the development by sharing your experience with the website, placing feature requests and usability enhancements and reporting bugs. I attached a screenshot of the website, which mostly holds placeholder images from the official website. Looking forward to hearing from you! Karamalz Edited April 20, 2014 by Karamalz 11
Pierre64 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 I love it too. And writing the review in Latin is so elitist!
1./JG42Nephris Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 I dont want to sound dumb or like an ass, but isnt it that there wont be custom online skins? Or did i misunderstood the statement from one of the past friday update?
Rama Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 you missunderstood. Custom skin will be usable on unranked servers and solo play, and nothing has been said about future integration of custom made skins for the other modes.
1./JG42Nephris Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) 5) When will we have the chance to make skins for aircraft? Personal markings and numbers? Kill markings on aircraft?Making paint schemes for planes in IL2BOS is a quite complex process. Those who have experience in creating skins for ROF aircrafts know that there are various materials used in planes’ structure and making a proper camo is a sign of a true master. There won’t be any ingame editor, we have no time for it. Nevertheless it will be possible to add your own skins, and we’ll provide you with necessary tools for it. You’ll be free to create anything for your offline missions. Neither campaign nor multiplayer will be playable with custom made skins. Because, firstly, you may draw a transparent plane and gain unfair advantage, and secondly, your creative ideas may be offensive to other players in our worldwide community. Further details about user made skins will be revealed later, before the launch. The source I took my interpretation from. Edited May 4, 2014 by 1./JG42Nephris
Rama Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Yes, and you have missunderstood it because you have taken it outside the whole context. This has been discussed long time, you should read this whole thread, and especially pos #256 from Zak
Karamalz Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) I dont want to sound dumb or like an ass, but isnt it that there wont be custom online skins? Or did i misunderstood the statement from one of the past friday update? You don't. And in fact, I stopped developing after what I read the developers diary some weeks ago. But Rama's comment … you missunderstood. Custom skin will be usable on unranked servers and solo play, and nothing has been said about future integration of custom made skins for the other modes. … gave me a heads-up. Me, too, misunderstood that statement. Edited May 7, 2014 by Karamalz
Rama Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 … gave me a heads-up. Me, too, misunderstood that statement. Read my second post, and open the links in it
Karamalz Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Read my second post, and open the links in it Exactly what I meant. I did misunderstand the statement in the devs diary until you said so in #9
Karamalz Posted May 22, 2014 Author Posted May 22, 2014 No updates. I was quite busy the last weeks. But the main reason is that I am still looking for artists to support me by testing the website.
SOLIDKREATE Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 <---------artist - I can also make graphics as well.
Karamalz Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Awesome stuff Spektre! I like. I get in touch with you the next weeks. Still need to pass those exams, then I am ready to continue.

Karamalz Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Does one of you happen to be a web designer? Doing the code and the design is too much for work for one person Edited July 13, 2014 by Karamalz
