Title: The maps! she confuses me!
Post by: Cobra on July 27, 2006, 11:55:10 pm

I'm trying to find out which textures are the nameplate substitutes on the Hecate, Aeolus, and Deimos. I also need to know how to create nameplates on those ships.

The blank nameplate is by default a 1X1 DDS file called nameplate.dds if that's what your asking, otherwise if you're asking what that texture is replaced with, it's in another VP, besides mv_textures, couldn't tell you ATM which one.

You got it all wrong, i mean i want to know the NAME of the files.

and nameplate.dds is only on the Orion.

For all the high poly ships except the Orion and Faustus, nameplate.dds is the blank nameplate. For the Orion its capital01-05a, and the Faustus is science01-name.

For the FS2 campaign, all the nameplates are in mv_models, and those are just named after the ship.

interesting. i replaced the Hecate nameplate with the GTD Aquitaine plate (as a test) and it didn't show up.
