Sealords-Shiptexture-Minimod to use in the GC and with most other Mods

Thank you for working on this, I am eager to see it in action. Re the ship colours, I hope to find out in consultation with you how to adjust the hull colours, as Black and white was almost universal for that era, even tho there were variations and individual ship captains on smaller rates had to pay for some of the ship detailing themselves so it was varied. Some added gilded scrollwork etc. But for the hulls, French and spanish both were black and white, with a few exceptions, noted in the thread. It sounds amazing all the work you have done, and it is wonderful to see you were successful. Once I learn more how this sim works i may be able to lend a hand, depending on my time and projects...but i certainly would love to help update this for use in the current DLC, i had wanted to use the Darth mod and Ultimate Commander but will have to see about adjusting the colours a bit if the french or British smaller rates come up red and black it .....will be hard to watch.... white and black really would work the best for just about all of the major powers except for the RN which used the yellow bands. thanks again for doing all of this, too bad they did not offer the chance for texture packs as DLC.

I'd really like to know this as well.

I did work on it myself and figured out the needed tool is DBeditor and you need to play with exclusive unit permissions.

The problem is though - in its... rather old state, the minimod has a few holes - eg the steamship only has one texture set.

I really wish sealord continued his work... This mod is the only one competently addressing ETW's naval aesthetics.

This mod is surely great! But i wanted to ask if this mod is realistic. I mean, had all the ships had hull stripes throughout the 18th century or were they mostly non-painted?

It varied considerably-it got more standardised as time went on, but it was still almost entirely down to the availability of paint and the whim of the captain.
