I hereby also decree-eth that until such time as there is an uproar from the multitudes ... or a sufficient pay-off has been made-eth,

that the P_11c shall be taken from its lonely fields of OtherAllieddom and place-ed into the fertile valley of VVS where it shall be fruitful and hopefully multiply.

So sayeth me ... eth.


Wow, I think I got a wee bit too excited during that last power trip.

...

I'll be back after I change.

The file folders are ready to be filled with blank/default skins now in Gurb's FTP space.

Remember, we only need one skin per folder.

If you find a skin already in a particular folder, don't worry. Go ahead and upload yours. We'll sort out duplicates later.

Please use naming protocol:

aircraft make(as written in red in previous post)_paint scheme_pilot number(all blank this time).

A20G_IrGr_00

Yak-7_FIMt_00

Anyone needing the address, login name and password please PM or E-mail me at ifalkon (at) aol.com.

Questions?

PS: Oh, the login name and password at Gurb's, not mime!

If you find a skin already in a particular folder, don't worry. Go ahead and upload yours. We'll sort out duplicates later.

Maybe you should add a skinner ID at the end of filename, otherwise latest upload will overwrite any duplicate using same name.(This can be left off the final version filename)

[:FI:Falcon]

Of course!

Good thunkin' Andrew.

How about an artist code with a number designator?

Ex: an A20 with a second IrGn design from me ...

A20G_IrGr_00_Fcn2,

Fcn = Falcon

Ex: an IrGn A20 from Snaphoo to add,

A20G_IrGr_00_Spo

Spo, or whatever = Snaphoo.


Fcn

[:FI:Sneaky_Russian]

That works

[:FI:Falcon]

I've upl'd'd all my 00 (blank/default) skins to the proper (I hope) folders.

Now, even before we find out if all this works,

I've almost finished all the Pe-2 customized skins.

This is the list I am using. It is an amalgam of Tac's and my best guess of active pilots.

[Ege]

E-ge?

[:FI:Gurberly]

Oh...

I always thought it was Eggy as in it had a bit of an eggy whiff to it.

G

[:FI:Falcon]

oops!

Sorry eggy ... ay-gee ... uh, ee-geh ... erm ... egg, ehjey

gah!

You were on a previous list but you must have fallen off!

Now, sit down and stop wiggling ... Ege.

After talking to several of the skinners I found that there is some confusion between the major types of skins.

Here's my thunks:

BLANK: No rounds, numbers, names; used for putting other country markings and numbers on from the game resource.

Designated - ac type_paint scheme_BL_author (EDIT)

FI Default: FI rounds only; used for guests, less active FI pilots, new members w/o personal skins yet.

Designated - ac type_paint scheme_00_author

FI Personal - FI rounds, numbers, names; used for active pilots.

Designated - ac type_paint scheme_33*_author

FI Customized - Personal skins that have been further modified at the request of the owning pilot.

Designated - ac type_paint scheme_33C_author

How does this sound?

~~~

Now, I have finished all my FI Default skins and uploaded them. Yes, Gurb, I'll .rar the individual skins soon.

I am currently working on the Personal skins.

I hadn't planned to do any BLANK skins, but the idea should be put before you. Sounds like a good idea, maybe after we finish the Personal skins?

After all this work is done ... and it works ... then I think we can intertain requests for Custom skins from members for nose/tail art, etc. Each new skin will be added to the data base periodically as a single new version. (Ex: every month, season, decade).

Thunks?

* member squadron number

[:FI:Snaphoo]

Sounds great!

For the blanks, what about this for a naming convention:

ac type_paint scheme_BL_author

And after we get done with the personalized stuff would be an exccellent time to do the blank ones.

The other stuff, customized etc, looks good to me...



Sna"gotta catch up"phoo
