Hi guys,


need a little help please. Have a couple of skins (26 i think) from a campaign. Its the 109 but the swastika is missing. Is there a skinner who would put the swastikas on these birds.

It would be very nice. Thanks for any assistance and help.

See ya!!:D

I can sure do that for you buddy if you have the skins....I am away at the moment for the next 5 weeks so if you can post the skins here I can certainly do them when I get back if you are in no hurry..

I may be able to do them sooner on laptop I am using at the moment as I do have Photoshop installed on it...just not sure how well it works as the laptop is very low spec and I certainly wouldn't be able to test them ingame..(my best laptop popped a graphics crash a week before I was due to go)

So stick the skins on this thread and we will see what I can do....

Not to sound like a jerk, but adding swastikas to skins is very easy, and it'd be a great way to make an entrance into skinning for yourself.

Grab a free copy of GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) and play around with adding the markings.

Get GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/

Hi guys,

thank you for posting.

So with gimp, i tried it once but i dont like making skins. Its like someone likes collecting stamps others are not. I am simply at war with skinning. Hate it.


ATAG_Lewis is it a no or yes? No prob if you dont want it any more. Never mind, but thank you.


Uwe the problem is, that the skins are fully made, only the swas is missing. if you enable it, there is another layer on it (Balkenkreuz, numbers etc). Thats why i search somebody who would be so nice to help me!!

Rgrt....Yes I can do it.....Just not sure when.....I am away for another 4 weeks and this will be straight forward on my pc....

However...Give me the skins here and I maybe able to do them on my laptop...

You need to post the skins so that I know what we are dealing with

Either put them on a post as images or zip them and upload them to a file share site like mediafire

Hi ATAG Lewis,

thank you for your kind help. I think these skins are enough. The rest is only differing in the victories, beginning from 39 to 74.

Thank you very much. :)

Take your time, its not urgent.

Ok buddy...I got them....Is it just the swastika on the tail that you want?

Pretty straight forward if thats it.....I can't test these as I am away in Hotel on low spec laptop but I managed to use PS to do them with no problem.....also they are not in JPEG format, they are BMP but I don't think that matters..I think CLOD recognises both....For some reason there was no option in PS for JPEG...I think if you copy and paste them they come in as PNGs.....Anyways...Here they are..:

Thanks you so much!!!


This was faster than i expected. Yes only swastikas needed.

The original size is 2048x2048. How can i convert them back to its original size?

Thanks a lot.

Not sure how to convert them.....I can't test them.....Do they work as they are?...If they do work then why do you need to convert them?

Hi,

sorry didnt explain it right.

So, the original file is 2048x2048.

When i have downloaded your skins with the swastika, it now displays me a size of 1024x1024.

What i meant is, how can i revert your skins of 1024x1024 back to 2048x2048.


Hopefully its now clear. Sorry for that ATAG Lewis. I really appreciate the work you do.

Thanks mate:)

You won't be able to convert them back up to 2048 x 2048. Technically you can, but the skins will look terrible; like watching VHS on a 60" HDTV.

You'll have to provide Lewis with the original size skin to edit.

Hi,

thats what i meant. The files in my post #8 are the original ones with 2048x2048,

the skins with the swastikas are "only" 1024x1024

Ok...you won't believe the issues I have with this laptop on XP...It wouldn't show me Mediafire File page....said browser was too old.....eventually sussed it by installing Firefox....

I tested this download and the pics are original sizes...so should be good..
