Plane skins
« on: July 14, 2003, 04:48:30 PM »
A new feature that we're going to implement in AH2 that we haven't talked about before is user made plane skins.  Players will be able to modify the plane skins for offline use.  If a player would like to see one of his skins used online, he can then submit it to us and if it meets our criteria, we'll make it available to everyone online.  This aspect pretty much works like user submitted terrains.  Once a plane has more than one skin available online, any player will be able to select the skin he wants from the hangar.  Please note that these are not custom skins for each individual who submits one.  Once a skin is submitted and approved, all players will have the option of using that skin.  

Given the tremendous amount of terrains contributed from the community, we expect that you'll see a wide assortment of skin choices available over time.

1 question: When a skin is selected on a users machine will every plane the user sees of the type be painted in that skin or will multiple skins of the same plane be visable at once?

Nice feature either way BTW.

This is fantastic news!

Hazed, there will be a "pool" of approved skins to choose from in the hangar... if you choose a trop 109 and I choose a Euro 109, then I will see your trop and you will see my Euro. :)

Way cool!

Pyro, I'd buy your drinks at the Con if you were going!

thats mean skins still belong to terrain file? or we can have separate directory?

Can we assign what skin on enemy aircraft we see? or what skin wear our squadies  and country man's?
Or its work "i have diferent skins then others around"
If  i wear same skins like all others i not se progress here:(

:( thats mean i cannot create  diferent markings for for my squadies even if we use same camo sheme.
Small step forward will be aproved by htc "official squadron skin" for every airplane.

Or option for "squadron accept only skins". SO we can have indywidual skin for every member, all done by HTC conditions.
Visible only for squadies?

Can we take look, how will looks example  skin file? Thats can give us chance to create new skins before AH2 relase or son after.
Just to make game more attractive in day of relase

with respect

Hopefully guys like Fidd and JoMAW will come out of retirement and convert some of their beautiful AW SAC skins when AH2 comes out.  Looks like I can finally fly Scat II again!

I forgot to ask. What application will we be able use to make custom "skins"?

 Ack-Ack. Those guys did some great work.  You should also check out the contributions to WB III by several of it's players. Hopefully some of them will try thier hands with AH II too.

I'd imagine programs like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro would be what we would use to make the custom skins.


I didn't know that WB III had custom skins, just thought they had custom nose art like we do.  But now that you said they do, then I'm also looking forward to seeing some of the work they do for AH2 if any of them take a crack at it.

A side benefit from this is that it makes the community that much tighter and that's always a good thing.
