CT# of aircraft for skinning
-
Hello guys,
I have been trying to make some skins for HAF F-16C B52+. When I use the editor, it tells me the CT Index number, but it doesn’t exist. I am using EMF theater. It doesn’t even exist in the Korean theater. When I view the 3D model, it comes up as 5717. Any help would be appreciated. -
Greek jets are dds files 5202-5226 in KTO. 3128-3154, 4412-4439 6646-6756 and 5567-5576 in EMF You want parent 5717, dds 6718, 6719, 1733. Editor works fine for me.

@Icarus Thank you for the fast reply. When EMF started I did some terrain editing. I began doing Dodecanese Islands. I used to use LOD Editor and Photoshop. I enjoyed it back then… Now things are a bit different. I checked the files you gave me and they are indeed Greek F-16s. But the one I fly is none of them. Does the EMF use also the Korean Files? Or does it use only the EMF? Is there guide that you can link me or send me with a manual how to implement the edited dds files? I tried already with my Photoshop and when I save, there are many options and settings. I noticed that when I put my mouse on the DDS file, it shows me 2048x2048. When I save it, it doesn’t show that anymore. And it does not show the thumbnail preview.

@sparrowGR EMF uses its own dds files. The one you ask for is the dds files I showed you above parent 5717 and dds 6718 and 6719. Those are correct files for the HAF F16C B52+ jet you asked for and can be found using editor. How can you make a decent skin without a psd file? Just painting over a dds file will look very flat because you wont have any layers. I don’t know of any manual I just figured it out myself. You dont need LODeditor anymore. All you need is editor to find the skin numbers. Maybe LODeditor if you want to see models.

@Icarus Thank you. I use Photoshop and that is what I used to use. The LOD Editor was to find the files. But the 5717 doesn’t exist in the EMF or KTO. The Editor from the BMS Launcher says that number when I open the 3D model. But for all the Greek HAF F-16s the numbers are 6496,6499,6502,6505,6508,6512,6515,6518,6524,6527,6636,6639,6642,6645…
As for the Tail for the F-16 that shows up on the mission a create it’s 6722.dds.
One thing I noticed with the EMF, is that the Terrain is not very realistic. I remember it much better more than 15 years ago. I can’t find the Tiles I made for KOS that was from Google Earth Photos when I had the time.
Something else is that it doesn’t have any missions or campaigns. Are there any that I can download? -
@sparrowGR ummmmm. 5717 parent/model definitely exists in EMF. And the three dds files that go with it in the EMF Koreaobjects folder. They are for the HAF F16 B52+ which you originally requested. You will have to make some TEs. Theatre is work in progress.
