I'm not the person to ask, but if you have a program capable of editing DDS texture files, I think you can change the colour of the ships.

No, DDS (Direct Draw Surface) is a bitmap graphics format developed by NVidia corporation and supported by many games, that can be edited with the most common image editing softwares, such as Photoshop, GIMP (freeware), Paint.NET (freeware), etc.

dds support is native of Pain.NET and a few other programs, whereas if you are using Photoshop or GIMP you will need for their appropriate dds plugins:

for Photoshop: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-...dobe-photoshop
for GIMP: http://code.google.com/p/gimp-dds/#Downloads

The most straightforward way of changing colors of stock SH5 ships is by editing their ambient occlusion maps, though understanding how those maps are rendered on top of ships requires a lot of guessing. You can have more than one color pattern for each unit, and for each pattern you can set a start and end date.

Have a glance at this quick tutorial by me for some more details on the subject (look especially at the last inset)

Uh, not quite.
MicroSoft developed the dds format.

That's right

Is that big hammer meant to punish me for my horrible mistake?
