Default Fixing missing silhouettes

Nothing against Ducimus; TMO is a fabulous mod and I have been playing it with RSRDC for the last two months.
After you have the ship dds files to your liking, I recommend you save the sea part of the database to a spares folder outside SH4 so if you ever have to reinstall, you don't have to do it all again.
Thanx Neilbyrne.
For the rest of you that want the missing silhouettes, I found the following to have no _shp.dds file in its folder (after doing Item 5 above):

NBC_Repulse
NDD_ZClass
NDE_Kisaragi
NDE_Momi
NKMSS_HogIslandJPN
NKMSS_Ryuun
NPB_Wakatake
NPT_Schnelboat

Most of these ships have a similiar class of ship in the next or previous folder. Just copy the _shp.dds file from there, and paste it into the folder you want to add, change the name, and voila'.
