[VXR]

ok here we go!

needed:
M16.p3d
M16.gif

Ok lets check this first!
When you are gone skin for example a M16 make a map where your buldozer is placed like d:/M16
place all your gif tga paa pac file you are gone use to skin the model in there the model also ofcourse

also make sure your directory options are standing good


When oxygen has been installed and configured correct we can go skin the model.

Zoom in on the magazine


Select to select the points of the side you want to skin.


Now we take the right view


Press "A" or and select the area where the picture has to show up


click right mouse button and load the file M16_mag.gif now again right click on it and use the horizontal mirror.


Move the corners around to make the picture fit on the model


Press "B" on your keyboard to paste it on the model, to check if the picture is on the model look here,
background mapping says it has been done.


Now load buldozer with and look at the model how it looks


Well done Soldier

Vixer
Thanks go out to BIstudio for the model

When I try to load the m16mag.gif the objektiv says to me : Unable to convert texture ,pac2pal error!
What can I do ?

[VXR]

for all people that get here and also get the problem

go to your buldozer folder copy 2 files called pac2pal.dll and exe or somethig to your oxygen directory then run the exe file restart your computer and then try to load

I had the same problem until I did the following

"Also double click on “DLL Folder” and put the path to your oxygen files. And example might be c:\Oxygen\02light If you fail to place the path to the oxygen files then the viewer will not work properly." from the installation guide, now it works.

The buldozer still does not though....configbin error still!!!!!!

[VXR]

where is your viewer located?

[Fenix83]

Your bulldozer's files must be placed directly in your HD, not in a folder("C:\bulldozer.exe" or "D:\bulldozer.exe" etc...).

You should make a partition only for OFP.
