I'm trying to change the texture for the captain's bed, but so far the 'game' is refusing to cooperate. I've gone in to the [Boat Specific]RR.dat file and changed the path as well as the embedded image but it still insists on loading the old one.

The original is not in either of the texture folders, although I have found it in the 'int_2_1.tga file'. Trouble is even when I replace the aforementioned file with one that contains the correct texture is still loads the old one from somewhere.

I've tried deleting the embedded file and placing the new one in the Textures folder but still no joy. I even renamed the replacement and changed the .dat file paths to match but still no go. Basically, I've been through the .dat with a fine tooth comb and I can't find where it's still drawing it from.

Textures don't have ID's so I'm thinking that's out. But at this point, I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever tried something similar, and if so how did you get it to work?

I made some new textures for the maps/charts on the navigator's workspace and the one in the conning tower interior in the Type II interior that would never "take" in the game either. I tried pretty much everything you mentioned above and nothing worked. This was the case even in my stock install with no other mods enabled, so in my case it had nothing to do with an already modded interior.

OTOH those areas are "clickable" in the game (and take you to the Nav Map or Attack Map) but I have no idea if that has anything to do with it... finally I just contented myself with getting the existing ones to display with the proper lightmapping or whatever it's called (which was not difficult) and gave up on the rest.

Interesting it still happened in stock. Seems a good clue to look elsewhere for the cause. Also, I like your thought regarding 'clickable' areas. That would certainly apply in my case as well and provides good food for thought as I hadn't considered that before.

I'd just like to add I do think it's doable as I was testing out another super mod that was able to change the texture. Just not sure how they got there is all. Will have to scratch the old noggin a little further on this one.

In the meantime, very interesting, and thanks for the input.

No problem... if you find something that works on your texture, please let me know. I still have the .tga files I made and I'd love to get them to work somehow.

Did your new texture show up correctly in the model preview when you actually put it in the .dat file? Mine always did, which made it really frustrating when I'd load up the game and they still weren't there.

Found the thread where it was discussed before in case anything there is useful:
