They are in the unity assets bundles.
Unity asset bundle extractor works, or at least the version I have does. It's a little tricky to use, but you can export - then change - and re-import textures into the resources asset bundle. Here's the skin for Tango class. http://imgur.com/a/RyeZg What I haven't been able to do yet is get textures to work in the override folder, so you are limited to a modded bundle which is pretty inconvenient for distributing any skins, and when patches arrive etc... till someone figures it out. I might try something else, I may have got the directories wrong or messed up the file format/name etc when I tried the override folder. |

Separate diffuse, specular and normal.
Each of those also has an alpha channel too. Format seems to be .dds DXT5 in the bundle, but I can only extract it as a .tga or .png cause of the extractor plugin. |

format is tga and png, usually tga being diffuse and normal or specular being in png, all with alpha ofc as for example specular has glossiness in png's alpha

As a person new to modding, how do I know where each part of the texture file goes?
Let's say I would want to draw a name or smiley or whatever on the side of the sub. How do I know where on the PNG I should draw that? Thanks! |

Random question, is it just me, or are some of the russian subs a bit too light?

Totally agree with You,skins for Soviet submarines should be more darker. Many photos confirm this.

It's an artistic choice in order to have the subs look more visually interesting than black featureless blobs.

Side note, all the subs in game have panel lines between hull segments, I get that this was probably done to add visual interest like with the coloring on Soviet boats but at least on the Los Angeles we should see the anechoic tiling rather than the panel lines instead of both like we currently have. |
