Recolor Mod that I'm working on

[Akagi]

The other day, I thought up a good idea: recoloring stock heat shields. After a bit of drafting, I had a decent idea.

Heat Shield Colors

• Red
• Black
• Light Gray
• Green
• Blue
• Orange

With some help from @fleventeen (thanks for finding GIMP), I will soon be releasing this!

Credits so far:

@SQUAD Hmm... why exactly? Oh right, they made the 3D models, the game... everything!

@fleventeen for suggesting GIMP

@Manwith Noname for explaining how texture patching works

 

Expect a release sometime in the next month!

However, I did run into a problem: I have no idea how to use GIMP.

Try Paint.net, it is easier. Remember that .dds are flipped upside down compared to .png Knowing where the UV maps of the part are on the texture pic makes life easier but will require something like blender with the .mu plugin to see where they are.

remember to set saving of .dds files to "BC3 (linear, DXT5)" for them to work in game.

Visit my thread that is right next door for info on the .mu plugin and for links to other helpful things.
