As it currently stangd sh3/4 methods no longer work to get random skind working.
This is most likely due to the use of hardcoding in the GR2 files.

While I can replace the original skin in the GR2 file via Hex Editing, further skins created and implemented:
  • A. By the use of the cfg file to call the skins or
  • B. The use of shadow masks to create the skin
No longer appear randomly on ships of the same class.
What ever skin is first called is applied to all ships of the same class
.

Pity as I was really looking forward to doing this Mod, and have now lost Interest in SH5 due to all the road blocks it curtails. So much for SH5 Being more modder friendly.
BAGHHH!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Reaper.

I Only discoverd this mod now. Dam I was getting excited as I read along.
If there was a breakthrough and random skin generation was possible would you finish the mod off?

Looks great. Amazing job. I love when the ships are brought to life.
