KBC Grey Lg Gun Platform

By Kafka BC

I forgot that I had done this almost a year ago as part of a project to redo the merchant ship textures. I just needed to adjust the specular before I posted it.

This replaces the various different colored Large Gun Platforms on merchant ships with one that is colored grey like the gun positioned on it.

The stock platforme.dat reads the lower right hand area of the deck textures of the merchant ships for texturing the large gun platform; rather than redoing all the deck textures for the merchants I emedded a single tga file with all the same characteristics as the deck textures into the .dat file for it to read.

The texture was created by using bits and pieces of the gunshield texture in the upper right hand of the deck textures so the colors would match, the deck from a Hunt class DD, and recoloring and darkining the ladder section.

Download Here

Unzip into your MODS folder and Enable with JSGME.

Hope it is useful.

PS: If anyone can make a better texture file for this or rework the mod to make it better, your welcome to have a go at it. I don't have the graphics skills to create one from scratch.

Hi Magic.

Are you still using my moon mod? I have been thinking of redoing it and adding a bit of a light halo around it. I am not sure how to do it yet, but I am thinking about it.
