[Rel] UBM Type IX D2 High Res Skins

GlobalExplorer · 03-20-14, 02:23 PM

First of all thanks to all of you for continually uploading this.

I have a few questions though.

After I installed it my D2 got a new default grey skin, so it's working. But I use OM and have no clue how to select another skin from the 3 available? I presume selection of skins only works in UBM vanilla, via upgrades screen? Anyway, I guess I could still figure that out by renaming the respective files.

Second, why is this (as well as the default green Type 9 D2 skin in UBM) so dark? In bright sunshine that looks really wrong. Is there anyone who has ever worked on the relative darkness of the "new" technology skins (lightmaps?) .. ? In the old days it was easier, I could simply take the tga file and make it brighter myself ..

I usually just use the mod installer to install my IX skin's in OM, just put activate them and they show up, I still have a few skin's around also like Carotio's camo for the type IX.

To clarify, i'ts no problem to copy them in the game and the first skin shows up ok. But there are three different skins included, and I don't know how to switch those in OM (not vanilla).
