Editing British_Equipment.dds
« on: February 28, 2013, 05:44:59 pm »
Hi All,

I just started on making the 47th a custom skin and I found there is 3 DDS files for British Equipment, and all three contain the same thing, just in different colours, one the true colour, one in pink and Light Blue and the other grey. Do I need to edit all three for my reskin to work? And is there three for every single item?

1 british_equipment.dds is the actual texture file that you see in-game for colours and etc.
2 british_equipment_s.dds is the specular for that particular file.
3 british_equipment_n.dds is the normal map which makes the texture look more 3d like.

If you are changing number 1 slightly (recolour) you will probably be able to get away with keeping 2 + 3 but if you are changing alot to the texture like adding or taking away buttons and adding buttons you will have to make your own specular and normal map for that texture.
