Done, I've added all the confed weapons I have to-date. I might add some of the more odd-ball/one-off weapons at a latter date, fusion, reaper, scatter etc.... 

Next build release: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/HiRes/Demo-Bearcat-07-10-14.rar
Also modified the hud and cockpit a bit

That looks nice. Any chance of integrating team colors into the Hi-Res remakes? This allows you to "paint" up to two colors (defined in colors.tbl) on the texture using a special "-misc" map. Simply make an uncolored base, and a -misc map with areas used by the "base" color in red, and "stripe" color in green. The stronger the color on the -misc map, the more intense the coloring on the corresponding texture area. You'll need to play around with it to get it to look right, but the results can be really good.

I also thought of team colours when I saw those shots. :yes:

Anyway, this ship is looking really good! Except for that WC2 paintjob - it doesn't really work for me. I assume it's a canon paintjob though so I'm not saying to get rid of it or anything... :nervous:

Could you point me to more info about this "-misc" map?  Search isn't giving me anything useful about it.

Ehhh I'm not really good at WC@ era painting.  It can look good but for me it just doesn't seem to work very nicely.

There's just about everything. The only thing is that instead of normal map, you make a new -misc map and instead of blue, the stripe color goes to green channel. Also, you probably don't need to mess with the shader anymore.

 
Oh wow, that was probably the easiest update available!  Ok what other new features am I missing? LOL

Ah, that would be nice. Preferably, with a continuous stripe running through the wing.
Also, I just recalled something you could add: squadron insygnia. They're pretty easy to do in PCS2, and can look really nice. They could go on tail fins or on wings.

 
I think I looked at insignia before, but it lacks shine/normal mapping.  Unless things have changed.

Also the logo-less version should only require a different -misc map correct?

Note this isn't a vp file, it's a zipped folder.

1.) Temporary extract the contents somewhere (like the desktop).

2.) Under Maps folder there is a series of subfolders (Corners, Logo Stripe and One Stripe).  Each one contains a different color pattern.  Select which one you want and copy the dds files you want to use down one folder (into maps\) and delete the rest.

3.) Built a vp then move that file to the mods folder. Treat it like any other VP file.

4.) You can delete the extracted files now.

An automated assembly would be nice.

This is actually a better way of distributing mods, IMO. Since your mods can't really be used standalone, it's preferable to extract the VP you provide anyway and incorporate the files into the mod's folder structure. Most devs do it like this. VPs have the advantage of a nice file browser, but that's it.

 
There's some nice Oblivion/Skyrim mods that have installer scripts that not only let you choose what you want installed, they give you preview pictures of it.  (The Oblivion GUI replacer comes to mind).  It'll be like: which color pattern would you like or none? and it'll copy the necessary files.
