Title: Noseart help please.
Post by: Stampf on September 27, 2006, 10:38:30 AM

A couple days ago I uploaded our Squad noseart into my Aces High Squad folder.  I can see it on my plane and on the planes of those in the squad, but the other squad members can not see it on their planes nor mine...?  Also it does not appear after the Squad name on the score page.  Did I do something wrong?, Do the squad members need to do something?  This is the first nose art we have created or inserted into Squad folder.

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

From the help section, squads:

The Upload Noseart button can be used by the squad CO to upload a 64x64 noseart graphic.  Graphics are not displayed in the game nor on the web page until they have been reviewed by the HTC staff.  The transparency color to use in order to make your noseart blend into the plane is {127, 127, 127}.  To upload a graphic, make sure your 64x64 bitmap file is named with your Game ID and is in your ../HTC/Aces High II/squads/ directory.  Next, click the Upload Noseart button.  Once the noseart is approved, your squad members may force the new image to download by deleting the existing noseart in their ../HTC/Aces High II/squads directory.

So I'm guessing it hasn't been reviewed yet.

Danke Panzzer,

I used that post to successfully create and download the art.  My confusion I quess comes in because I can see it now, on the planes.  Could be...just me as CO until approved I quess??  Also...Do you know if the squad members have to force out all the art in thier squad folders from all the other squads, or just any previous ones associated with our squad?

Well, if you see it and the others don't, they haven't gotten it yet, which might be because it hasn't been approved yet - although I'm not sure about this. And on the second one, I'd delete only your squad's noseart (Stampf.bmp?) - however, cleaning the entire folder would only force all of the squads' nosearts to update.

So they need to "Delete our image" ?   (Yes, Stampf.bmp)

Or wait for it to get approved ;), it should update without having to delete it first.
