HOWTO: Set a custom cockpit photo

Post by Dickie » Sat Nov 16, 2013 11:53 pm

This is how you set a cockpit photo, like my slut here.

Image

Here's the part from the readme.

================================================== ==============
* Pic of your loved one
This mod is turned off by default. To select a picture to use go to the folder [my documents]\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover -MOD\DashPics
Here you will find the following folders:
* Selected -the mod will use the pic named "1.tga" from this folder (PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THIS FOLDER EMPTY WITHOUT A "1.tga" FILE)
* Templates -some "stock" pictures. To use one, copy it to the "Selected" folder and rename it to "1.tga".
This folder also includes a photoshop template. If you do a coustom picture, please note that you need to edit the alpha layer as well (included in the template) and the picture MUST be in tga format.
================================================== ==============

Let's see your efforts :D

###########################################################################################
OK, here are my instructions if you don't get the above

1. Get a picture you like, such as some nice hardcore porn from the internet
2. Use a simple editor like Windows Picture Manager to crop it to a size you want (256 x 256 max) / change the effect etc then save it to [my documents]\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover -MOD\DashPics\Templates
3. Install Paint.NET (if you haven't got Photoshop or GIMP)
4. In Paint.NET open the Blank.tga file in [my documents]\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover -MOD\DashPics\Templates
5. Choose Layers>Import from file and select your image
6. Use arrow keys to position
7. Save as '1.tga'
8. Move it from [my documents]\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover -MOD\DashPics\Templates into [my documents]\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover -MOD\DashPics\Selected

It'll work in game.

It would be a male stripper in a Spitfire, obviously.

Nice upper body parts, Os.

It's before the sun has risen in ATAG so I'll have to get a clearer pick so you can appreciate all of her :)

I'm sure there will be some tasteful images on the internet somewhere that I could use :) - but how do you put them in cockpit?
