custom textures only on my ship's

[TrigunX]

hi all new to the forum (at least to posting here )
as a photoshop/image forge junky i get bored and customize my textures in games

but i don't really want the AI controlled ships using my "paint job" on there ships

is there a way (in the current build) to make it so only my ships use the textures i have made ..

if not passably adding the option to newer builds of PR/WCU (if its not to much work)

Edit: and possably using custom textures on factions XD

Right now, there is just a way to make all vessels of one faction look the same:

You can already have a custom "paint job" for you ship. Just create a new set of texture files for your ship with "privateer_" in front of them. For example, privateer_body.jpg in the appropriate unit folder (like units/centurion)

A commodity trading table would be nice to have. I think they expect you to figure it out for yourself though.

But pay attention: This will make all vessels of privateer section look this way, meaning you AND your cargo-wingmen. Yet, because you won't use cargo-wingman very much (if you stick to the original gameplay not at all), it is very much like a personal paintjob.

Good luck!

EDIT: And welcome on the board...

Some preliminary work for paintjobs for specific factions has been done in WCU. Looks horrible though

Thanks for the info

here is my "pirate" centurion (yes im a Buccaneers fan)




i hope i dont anger the person that made the texture i used as the base

another question

what program should i use to make completly original textures for ships
only having a 1024 by 1024 square and no model makes it a lil hard

(with hopes that i can get good enough to help you all here )

Hm, it would be nice to have an online archive with downloadable custom textures...
