blacked out king george v battleship

[Tempest555]

Well I solved my MOGAMI problem and you may want to look into this solution.
I hacked in the RSRD Mogami Cruiser into my SH4 1.5 TMO because I wanted the all 5 turret MOGMAI-class cruiser. But no matter I did that vessel showed up black in the museum but with the turrets showing properly like the KGV in your game. No amount of editting in the cfg files with dates and names worked.
Hmmm that was weird.
So I went through all the files in RSRD Mod file and in TEXTURE files (low and normal) and there were T01's and O01's files for Mogami!! So I copied them into my TEXTURE files and lo and behold it worked. I didn't delete any texture files in the SHIP files-essential I have the same sets of T01 & T01_lr and O01 & O01_lr files in the Mogami SHIP file and TEXTURE files in DATA. Why this works-who knows-but it worked.
{as an aside the funnel cap and top conning tower was black in my hacked Mogami-I copied in the T01's and O01's files for Mogami 2 [this is the plane carrier varient] from RSRD and all of the ship looks normal in Mogami.
Weird.

My 2 cents and FWIW-copy the T01's and O01's for your British battleship into the DATA/TEXTURE files and see what happens.

well i did see it had T01 and T02_lr files and O01 and O02 files but no T02 files so i created the T02 and T02_lr files for it but it didnt seam to matter for what i was seeing.

all other ships in the game need a matching number file so if you have a O02 or 3 then you need TO 2 or 3 matching files in hi and low res for it so maybe somewhere else in the game those missing files are needed.

i got isues with my computer so i had to format and start over so i lost all my research on it up to this point, guess i'll have to start over on this after i get everything reloaded

Sorry to hear that. It can be aggravating.
