what you describe here is correct, but do not forget to edit several .cfg files as well:

- sea\NKMCS_Heito\NKMCS_Heito.cfg:
save to sea\NKMCS_HeitoX\NKMCS_HeitoX.cfg and change the following lines (edit using notepad):
ClassName=KMCSHeito to ClassName=KMCSHeitoX (or whatever you want to call it)
3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NKMCS_Heito/NKMCS_Heito to 3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NKMCS_HeitoX/NKMCS_HeitoX (path to the NKMCS_HeitoX.dat file without the .dat extension.

-Roster\Japan\Sea\KMCSHeito.cfg:
save to Roster\Japan\Sea\KMCSHeitoX.cfg (or any filename you want) and change the following lines (edit using notepad):
ClassName=KMCSHeito to ClassName=KMCSHeitoX - must be the same as the classname in sea\NKMCS_Heito\NKMCS_Heito.cfg
and change all the TextureName= entries to the new filepaths, so for example change TextureName=data/Sea/NKMCS_Heito/NKMCS_Heito_T01.tga into TextureName=data/Sea/NKMCS_HeitoX/NKMCS_HeitoX_T01.tga

I hope this was of any help to you.

It was written for playable units but for non-playable units it works the same only without .upc files.
