How to make custom Ship Models using Race Colors ?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi there

I have tried to make some custom hull models and jewelry for the use in the game.

I managed to export the .x files and got the stuff to appear as in the game, have hardpoints and so one.

The thing i can not figure out, is how to make the stuff appear in the colors i choose for my race, like it happens with the default models.

Are there some template colors which will be replaced with the race colors ? or Alpha maps ?

Did not found any Doumentation on this so far...

Can someone help me out with this ?

Thanks

The game colors based on the submaterials. Submaterial 0 is the base color, 1 is the trim color, and 2 is the engine color. Transparent areas on the texture will let this color show through. All three submaterials must be used on each object in the model in order for it to work AFAIK, though you could use two on a single poly hidden inside if you just needed it to be one color.
