You mean where they are in the SH4 folders ?

They are the T0?.dds files in the respective maps..
Sargo skin.. data/submarine/NSS_Sargo
T01 is early war, T02 is late war.

For a Taiho class carier..
data/Sea/NCV_Taiho T01.dds is hi-res file, T01_lr.dds is low res version.

Hope this helps..

Start in the "data" directory and work your way down... you'll find 'em...

.dds files are used throughout SH4... By the way you may need to enable "show file extension for known files" in the Windows Explorer... it's under TOOLS->FOLDER OPTIONS->VIEW Uncheck the "Hide Extensions for known file types" box...

Hmm, ok... under your SH4 root directory, do you have a directory called "data"?
