Hi Feuer Frei!
There is a way of viewing the texture using the relevant dat file in S3D - which means you do not have to keep loading SH3 to see the outcome of your tex file changes - will save you a ton of time.
I'm at work now - so I cannot experiment and post screenshots.
Full answer tonight when I get home - unless someone else beats me to it
