Someone shoot me.
argh.
OK, take the simple little Taihosan Maru.
The T01 file is easy enough to understand. Color parts and you find that the top part that is clearly the hull is used in dribs and drabs elswhere. Fine. The middle of the ship has the same texture starting going in 2 directions. So if I wanted a meatball flag, I make a half a flag, put it in the right spot... and it works. At a certain distance I see a line in the middle though.
So I look at the O01 file. A bunch of shapes that represent the different parts of the ship. Better! I color a few in, look at taihosan, and the middle of the hull is one bigh contiguous section in the O file! So I add a flag. No dice.
So close. The people who skin this crap need to get a medal. What a nightmare.
