MR_G, there's one little line in your tutorial that i'm not 100% sure of, so now's probably the best time to ask: 'Find a tga for a known RAF squadron that does not have a squadron image inside.'
what exactly does this mean? is it a squadron that doesn't have a unit 'badge'?
i just need a bit of clarity on that one, please....far as i can tell, all the squadrons (in FC) have a unit tga and 'file' file.
in my case, i wanted to create a fictional SAAF squadron, Malones Marauders.
i made the necessary changes in regInfo, regInfo_ru, regShort and regShort_ru.
in all 4 cases, under the SAAF section, the new entry looked like this:
MaloneMarauders Malone Marauders
then, i took a squadron tga and its associated 'file' from the Paintschemes/Red folder, pretty much at random (that's the bit i'm unsure of), renamed them to MaloneMarauders, changing the squad code in the 'file' file, and put them back into the Red folder.
thinking that should be it, i loaded up, and the new squadron was nowhere to be found...
any ideas?
oh, btw, i might move these last few posts to tech help at some point, don't want to clutter up the main thread with my little problem.
edit: i also just tried a straight-forward change to an existing squadron code, with no success....would this only work for a newly-created squadron? ???
