In this mod, you will find two files there: base1 and base2, they control all decals texture effect in 3D plane body, finally we don’t need to edit thousands mat files to get shine effect as before. All mats for markings will be output with shine effect now, so we don’t need to set ClearCache=0 as before.
Install:
Extract McWolf_DecalsShine to your MODS folder, you must have already installed MOD Activator or Sound Mod at first.
Note:
1. if you installed NewMat or IL2 Mat Manger before, please delete it or disable it, especially, there should be no mat files in folder X:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\PaintSchemes\Cache. This mod don’t need ClearCache to be set =0 now. Please also noted IL2 Mat manager change default decal location in mat file and also edit new position for decal texture.
2. If you set HakenAllowed=1 in your conf.ini before, please delete it.
3. If you don't like those weathered decals and prefer default one, just delete it, all default decals will still have shine effect.
4. If you wish to use other tga files such as Ace's original weathered numbers etc, just replace default one with exact same name.
Uninstall:
Just delete this from MODS folder.
