Is there a hand-holding guide for contributing to this somewhere?

There's a tutorial i made linked at the bottom of the OP here:

There's also stuff on the TU wiki: https://github.com/shadowmage45/TexturesUnlimited/wiki/Feature---Recoloring

Fantastic mod, but I found a problem with the small fuel tank, i can recolor them with turd but cant change the stock recoloring/textures

Looks great! Bit frustrating from the perspective of a 70% complete restock TURD pack.

Will be an awful shame if the final product has no hex/rgb/hsv selection, feel a lack of that will be a step backwards if anything.

Why not updated to 70%？

You'd have to ask @MrShelter about that. 75% is likely the next point of prerelease

Some unfortunate news, everyone.  

The creator of ReStock has made a mod which directly competes with this mod.  It is not compatible as it uses ReSurfaced rather than TexturesUnlimited.  It's not out yet but the fact that it's 100% incompatible and being made by one of the most famous modders in the KSP community, who also happens to be the creator of the base mod these configs are for does not bode well for RestockRecolour  

 

As you may, or may not know, I've become the torch-bearer for RestockRecolour development.  I lost touch with @MrShelter months ago, and both @Spartwo and @PicoSpace have their own things going on but are still active, so far as I know.  This was never a project I wanted to tackle alone, nor did I want all my Kerbal-time to be consumed with mod-making rather than actually playing the game.   And truthfully, I've been so dedicated to trying to work on these mods, I really haven't played KSP much at all in the last year, and so this endeavor has become more work than fun for me.   I was in the process of preparing to make my own fork of RestockRecolour under my GitHub so I could try and comprehensively go through all the parts which have configs that are malfunctioning in some way, and then push the totals to 75% completion.  The ultimate goal was to be able to get a more completed version up onto CKAN, and to hopefully use any interest or momentum in that release to help inspire me to the next one.  But without knowing how things will play out with RestockPBR, I find it very difficult to continue, and I've been having a hard enough time without that.  There is still a tremendous amount of work to be done, and in light of new developments there is little guarantee that such work will be fruitful.  For instance, RestockPBR could be rolled into a patch for Restock itself.  If that were to happen, less technically minded players wouldn't even consider TURD because of all the work you'd have to do to get it working.  It closes the doors for the casual players.  It's kind of like Casear @Nertea himself gave me, personally, the thumbs down and I'm in here wrestling with lions on the coliseum floor, so I've seen the writing on the wall:   

I'm sorry, but...

For the time being, RestockRecolour is on an indefinite development hiatus.

Understandable.  Thank you for all your hard work being the standard barer, and know that many of us were looking forward to this one but everything you said makes perfect sense.

Best of luck and hopefully you can get some more playtime in now!
