enable skins

[rlane3]

I've downloaded a lot of cool skins for the Su-25t. How do I implement them?

[Troll Norris]

Open directory "%userprofile%\saved games\dcs\" create there folder "liveries" and in it subfolder "Su-25T" - there add the downloaded folder.

Note: to be able to use it in MP the both server and client must own it.

What about SP?

But what about SP? I want to dress my Su-25 with them and see them in offline mode.

In SP you can always. There depends only on country limit for desired livery. Some liveries have country lock. It is easy to change it by adding country codes in description.lua which is in every livery pack.

The livery must be allowed in mission editor for desired mission.

Which folder? There is a DCS folder in the User folder and a DCS folder in the programs(86) folder.

Which folder is the lus scripts folder in?

It is in the livery pack.

The path that I found is Liveries/Su-25T/Scripts/Database/planes. Is that right?

@rlane3, the path for Su-25T user skins is in "Saved Games\DCS", if the correct folder(s) do not exist - you'll need to create them, an example Su-25T skin path is

• Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\Su-25T\Devils SU-25T Danica (Desert)\description.lua, etc.

an example path for a Su-25T custom cockpit is

• Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\Cockpit_Su-25T\English by Devrim\description.lua, etc.

AFAIK you shouldn't need to edit scripts other than the skin's description.lua as that defines which textures, etc to replace, it's in game name and the country/countries it's available for.

At a guess ...

• Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Scripts\Database\planes\Su-25T.lua

... defines loadouts, etc. for the AI Su-25T.

What are you trying to change/edit, there are several .lua script paths ?

NOTE:
I don't have a ...
• "Liveries/Su-25T/Scripts/Database/planes"
... folder in my install, is it possible you have corrupted your install ?

I'm trying to edit the player Su-25T.

If wanting to edit the Su-25T's available weapon and pylon list, as in this 2013 thread

https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/95265-su-25t-weapon-pylon-modding/

... DCS World\Scripts\Database\planes\Su-25T.lua is the correct file.

Such edits will fail MP integrity checks, etc. and the added weapons often don't fire i.e. they are best used for experimentation/SP.

The skins, not the weapon pylon modding.
