A-6E F4 AF skin LODEditor help needed

[Porkchop]

I posted this same question on Frugal's but maybe I'll get hits here from more experienced LODEditor users:

The A-6E skin in AF points to a bad texture #: -1.
This makes it so that I cannot apply any skin to it. It just will not take it.
Is there anyone that knows what to do in LODEditor to fix that?

Developers for FreeFalcon and OF have managed to put a texture in there so it must be possible somehow.

Thanks!
Porkchop.

you should read lodeditor tut first.
export that lod, re-assign a new skin# for it, then attach or replace the new lod back to DB.
if the the lod still keep it tex-mapping data, means you can export a wireframe bmp, you can paint it and attach new skin to DB. if no tex-mapping data, well you got to do tex-map yourself.

Cool.

I've only used LODEditor for the easy steps of applying skins, so i've never read the tutorial carefully. Too afraid to start getting into things where I'll hose my install.
But it looks like I'll have to for this one, so I'll read it and follow your steps carefully

Thanks ccc!

And back up your installation BEFORE doing any of this!

Oh yeah. Remind me to tell you about some of the things I've done to my install with faulty LODEditor work.

Hey guys,

I can add more tutorial & help into PMC Editing Wiki if someone just teaches what to add.

A HowTo add missing textures to an existing model like A6E or Mirage F1 like ccc posted would be nice. I tried out the Database Adding, Deleting and Editing Tutorial but something wents wrong. My new Mirage now looks like a bridge
