Anybody heard any news?
-
No news here... still waiting :(
-
Got an accepted/in game email prior to skins being disabled last week.
Skuzzy said he was talking to skin dept Thurs this week so can only assume we will get some this Friday (fingers crossed).
-
woohoo!!!!!!!
All 4 of my P40s have been accepted :D :D :D

I just got an acceptance email on my 52nd FG natural metal 51B.
The RAF P-51B did had a problem with the alpha masking - the US insignia was still showing through. Turns out if you modify an alpha mask .bmp, you must include the corresponding non-alpha .bmp file in your submission, even if you didn't modify that one. I'm surprised I hadn't run into that problem before.
Anyway, problem fixed and skin resubmitted - hopefully it'll still get included today...
Congrats you guys! Looking forward to seeing them in game tonight!
-
Was flying a P51B the other night and thought of your skins Oboe :) Glad to see they'll be in! PonyB's deserve much more flight time.

Add a few spit 5, one spit 14 skin. Got accepted ingame today.

Skin release day has been moved to Wednesday, as that is when we do the terrain rotation now, instead of Friday. This allows us to put up new terrains and catch any show stoppers before the weekend.
The emails that went out this morning are for skins that will be in the next arena reset next Wednesday.
We should be on a regular cycle after this.

No Ki-84 skins? :(
-
I think they are coming up in the next batch Mitsu.

This is great news...!
-
I got four accepted today. Woohoo!! :)
The A6Ms and TBM on this website, http://ahskinning.netfirms.com and my Soviet Spit5.
-
My Green B-17, Little Patches, was approved. :D
-
I have four approved...I think.
-
Strange.
If the Ki-84 skins are coming up in the next batch, then it'd seem that either my submissions have evaporated somewhere inside the net, or haven't being getting any active confirmations.
I've sent about 6~7 skins since months ago, which I haven't heard of ever since.
You reckon I should try resend it??

Im not so sure. I sent in about 7, and only got emails for 5 saying they were recieved and under review. I'd email HTC to confirm that they got them just in case.
Also, Skuzzy said something that if the zip file was not done correctly they would not put that skin under review.
-
I'd hang KW, I had some that were months old an just got replied to.
Or drop Skuzzy a mail
-
I discovered recently that in response to an email which had 3 P-51B skin attachments - I received only 1 skin reference number assignment. I shoulda read the email closer but as soon as I saw the confirmation I assumed they got them all.
I've sent in inquiry to Skuzzy, but it the meantime it may be a good idea to send each skin zip file in a separate email. Still hoping we can get these skins reviewed and in game on Wednesday, fingers crossed...
-
Well, this might explain some of the problem.
I submitted 3 versions of the same skin, two different squadrons but essentially the same skin except for the numbers / squadron designation, and nose art.
They accepted only one. Happily, my favorite.
Bottom line, of the 3, one was a backup with no nose art per Skuzzy's suggestion and on the other two, I only changed the nose art and plane numbers. They accepted one, the one with the most risqué nose art, :D and rejected the 9-0-9 and the identical plane without any nose art, as being identical.
I'm happy, and I can still modify the 9-0-9 to resubmit... if I can find the time now.
-
I really want to fly Ki-84 in Kweassa's 29th Sentai skin...
Kweassa, could you work for 47th Sentai's skin for me?
Thanks.
-
All submitted skins have a confirmation sent out, as of this minute.
If you did not get a confirmation of a submitted skin, after today, then we did not get it.
Mitsu, the Ki84 skins will be undergoing review. If they make it, then they will be in next weeks update.
Tomorrow's arena reset will see the skins that were approved last Thursday.
Easy1, we are trying to keep all the skins as unique as possible.
-
With Patch 6 coming, will we see any conflicts with the new batch of skins? ie, will they possibly be disabled again for bugsquashing? :)
-
I do not see any reason why skins will be disabled for the next patch.
-
I went ahead and resubmitted the (2) P-51B skins I never heard anything about. Maybe I forgot to attach the zips originally, or some email server was fussy about multiple, large attachments and cut them off? Not sure, but anyway it'll be a longer
wait for these two skins:

Sorry 'bout that!
-
Thanks for the verification Skuzzy. I guess I'll just have to resend them all one by one.
Mitsu, I'd be happy to do it, except I thought other people were already working on that one?
-
Kweassa, I went through several of your skins today and sent verifications on them. You should have gotten about 4 to 6 emails from me today (I cannot recall the exact number).
-
Thanks Skuzzy,
I wasn't complaining.
S!
-
Kweassa, yep Fester was working on it.
But he said his HD is crashed.
-
Wow, once again thanks for the verifications Skuzzy. You're da man!! :)
Mitsu, in that case, I'll start working on it right away. :) So wait about two weeks :D
-
Will you use my uploaded files of 47th Sentai's skin?
Does it have enough info for you?
Cheers,
-
Oh.. another question, Skuzzy. I'm not sure if its your decision or in liberty to say, but some of the skins, like the P-47s, have more than one 56th FG skins accepted.
Back when I first submitted the desert camos for the Bf109F-4, I sent two skins for Marseilles' and Stigler's 109, but got the answer that that since both of them are JG27, you will only accept one, so naturally I had to give up Franz Stigler's scheme.
I'm not complaining, but I think since the P-47s have multiple 56th FG schemes, all of them simular in tiger-like stripes, already accepted in the game.. I don't see the reason why another desert camo Bf109F-4 is not to be accepted now.
I understand the reasoning behind it, since some people might only change the identification numbers or letters and submit multiple planes of the same squadron, but well.. the 56th FG P-47s are there.. probably according to the whole danged pilot roster :D
Since Stigler's Bf109F-4 was in the JG27, but he was in a different staffel from Marseilles, with different markings, can I resubmit it?
Also, I've just accepted Mitsu's request for a 47th sentai Ki-84, which he has two plane profiles he wishes skinned. Can I make both of them and submit them?
ps)
This one's Marseilles, already in the game

This one's Stigler's, which was refused. I worked pretty hard to make that "12".. all custom made , ya know! :D

Thanks, Kweassa.
Do you have good ki-84 template of pane lines already?
-
Kweassa, I will be cleaning up duplicate or near duplicate skins shortly. If you look at the 56FG skins, nearly all of them should be very different, but I have seen 2 that I need to remove.
