Hi
What format do I need to save my skins in ? I have tried various BMP variation (16,24 and 32bit) and some do not appear in the skin selection menu in game, others I can't even open in windows...
I'm looking for the format that'll give me the widest palette range. In the meantime I just copy my skin on top of a working one with a fairly similar palette to get it in game, but some colours get lost in the compression. Also, what is the benefit of converting the skin to an indexed palette ? RVB is just much easier to work with. Are there Il-2 compatible palettes that I need to use when skinning ?
Lately I've been toying with creating digital camouflage patterns with GIMP and Jesters-Ink P-51 template as learning projects. Mixing the two, I have come up with something fun that is not realistic at all but looks quite nice me thinks
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Nico
