1st step: you need to open and extract models and textures from Graphics folder, file 3d.grp.
2nd: find and repaint the texture and save in mostly in dds format, some bmp 3rd: put back into 3d file which step do you need help with? |

I know how to do the first step. Need help with 2nd step. I am kinda new to this process. So it would be better if I can get a step-by-step tutorial. A video would be great.
Btw, I am building some missions/campaign about a Sino-American conflict for the strait of Taiwan under RA 1.5 environment. Those Chinese ships in current RA are just ugly. I have been hoping people would repaint them, but nobody seems to care. So I said forget it and I will do it myself. My plan is as follows: 1. Repaint Type 52C, 52D and 055A 2. Revise the skin for Arleigh Burke Flight II and IIA to have helo hangers hopefully 3. Repaint MK48. |

In order to reskin 52 types you need to repaint luda_0.dds However, all of the 3 types 52C, 52D and 055A are using the same texture. Actually, I could not see 055A but maybe that came with the latest 1.50 RA.
Arleigh Burke Flight II and IIA also single model. So if there is a difference between them then you need to assign 2nd model (duplicate and alter as needed) in the database. |

055A is using some French frigate, I believe. 052s are using the same model. Btw, is it luda or luyang? I thought it was luyang. Also, I need to know how to do the repainting part. Like what software to use. Do you know where I can find some tutorials on this?

Re skining can be done but it is a substantial work with rather mediocre results . I have tried. Sorry for the quality of Photobucket , I cannot even retrieve those pictures now.
