Modifying the 688i station panels?

How would I go about modifying the station panels for the 688i?
I want to give them a red hue as if the red battle lights were on in the sub.

edit:

Similar to the FFG stations:

I could not find the program decompress.exe anywhere? This is needed to extract the graphics + from a file

You also would need computil.exe to pack back revised files to grp. If I remember correctly background panel textures are found in "Interfaces" and then target platform "688i". If you do that in separate working subfolder copy appropriate grp and ndx there.

Thanks for the links guys!

edit: success. I have the bmp files and I'm going to modify them for red battle lighting. Will upload it as a mod when done.

Can you show red lights on screens first?

Screens will be included in the mod.

Let us know when it's out, mate. I'd be keen!

(Also, will you include backup procedures in case we want to go back?)
