Reskin Its a way to add vehicles whitout  asking players to download off the server.

Dnt have greats knowledge about photoshop so i had to looking for vehicles package in armaholic and find which textures wold work whit epoch, and make a few changes.

**textures are in low quality to not enlarge the server mission file.***

If anyone have a tuto of photoshop to make it easy or have own textures please share :)

juan i have experience with photoshop and corel, ive done a few skins myself. I just done know all the vehicles that are able to be textured and what can be textured. I tried to do the rims on the SUV, it loads my rims, but then the server catchs up and loads the default rims on top of mine.  Maybe we can help each other

from what i understand the number 0 (highlighted in bold)

if (_class == "Mi17_Civilian_DZ") then {_object setVehicleInit 'this setObjectTexture [0, ''custom\skin\Mi17_Civilian_DZ.jpg''];';};

is how the server knows what to grab from the picture. I dont know what other numbers would do. I've done research but cant find anything.

Here is a pic of one of my skins for the SUV

Here are a couple textures

http://imgur.com/AqnYZUl

http://imgur.com/71WmdV5

This one bellow i use for Roaming AIs, because i run PVE servers, its easy to spot them  lol

http://imgur.com/S6e0oNo

and here is a PSD with a clipping mask.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4hsr7ffdgixjd48/SUV.rar?dl=0

When you open the PSD, the top layer, right click on it and go to "release clipping mask".

You'll notice it becomes a full square.  The canada layer is the shape of whats needed for the skin.  Use that as a template and you can create as many skins as you want. Import any design you want and make sure its the top layer, and the canadian suv layer is right bellow, right click on the top layer and "create clipping mask".

I save mine as JPG and they are roughly 150kb.  With good details.

EDIT: don't forget that you cant put text, otherwise it mirrors. Also the licence plate you CAN modify it.

As for the texture numbers, i made a square bright purple texture. and tried a bunch of number and was never successful. Its been a while, i might try it again, would love to have custom rims and such lol.

Got a question for you, would you know how i could attach a mounted weapon to a truck that doesnt have one? even if it means making a new pbo thats fine. i kinda made my own lil mod pack for friends and I lol.  thanks

Yes you need make a new .pbo and add a @folder.  for example  @truckarmed.  then add this parameter in your serverlauncher.bat

Spoiler

@echo off
start "arma2" /min /high "your\server\root\path\arma2oaserver.exe" -cpuCount=2 -maxmem=2047 -exThreads=1 -port=2302 "-config=instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_11_Chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_11_Chernarus" -name=instance_11_Chernarus "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;@truckarmed"

then your friends needs to download this @truckarmed folder and paste inside game root.

i guess you can use blender 3d to make the new model and guess too this model must be in .p3d format.

another thing not sure if u need do a "key" to make it works

you can take some referense for armaholic page.

and THNKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR INFO ABOUT PHOTOSOHP AND TEXTURES!!!

oh i know how to launch my own mod.  I can sign PBOs too. I have the server running already.

One of the special trucks i have, i would like to add a mounted weapon in the back.  Not sure if this is possible with the attach to object command in arma. I've researched and tried a couple things but it didnt work.
