Usually I change a bit the historical scheme to be adapted to the "one for alll" texture guns file.

Yes, it's strange to see a ship all painted in blue but with grey turrets...

The solution could be this one :

1. You reserve a place on the ship's texture for the turret's texture.
2. You re-do the uv-mapping of the turret 3D model.
3. You add the turrets directly in the ship.dat (no more need of special entries in the guns library file and in the ship.eqp file), linked to the same texture as the ship's texture.
4. Of course, you add some proper nodes in the ship.sim file for the turrets to work properly.

This is what i can see into pics and schemes

Yes, you're right. I said that because the ships' turrets are generally too small in SH3.

I like it too !

I don't think it can work, but I may be wrong.

This can work if you want to have different textures for the same gun mounted on different ship classes. And it doesn't take much memory. You have to duplicate the guns and link each of them to a different texture. No need to duplicate the 3D models, you can just link the ID number of the 3D model you want to duplicate...

Yes, me too, it was a british cruiser, maybe the Town class, with more than 10 camo skins. The effect is stunning ! I think the_frog used the method that I've described a few lines above.

By the way, is there a plain grey texture too (no camo) ?

@JapLance thanks, this is exactly the idea of italian destroyers' late war A\A support

For everyone, before release something, allow me to introduce a serie of pre-release posters









Every ship features moving parts, radars and rangefinders, glass windows, interiors, 3d portholes, stairs, details etc...

Again , no AO, only excellent textures from flush deck

Best regards,
Vd
