This little project started out with the Eradica - the Advent Rebel Titan. Since it bothered me that, no matter what teamcolor I had, it's ornaments were always orange, I endeveared to learn to change the texture, so those ornaments are now in the teamcolor. While it took quite a bit of work, I finally succeded (and had to redo much of the work due to a combination of lost and corruped files).
After finishing with that ship, I got inspired and took the teamcolors to other vessels that lacked them - the Coronata, Vorastra, Kolturask and the Transcencia.
Also included in the download is a fixed mesh (the model underlying the texture, so to say) for the Eradica provided by ZombiesRus5.
A big Thank You goes to the helpfull people over in the 'Modder's "Get-an-Answer" Thread', in particular ZombiesRus5, for helping me figure it out and providing links to the necessary programms and plugins (Gimp 2.6 with DDS plugin), the texture artists of Ironclad games, who made those gorgeous textures in the first place and the people who made Gimp and it's plugins and are nice enough to privide them for free.
"Installing" these texture files is very easy. Just select your mod-directory of choice or create a new one and put the two folders into them. The path looks something like this: "C:\User\<yourname>\documents\my games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.041\<modname>\".
If you load it together with other mods, the order won't matter, as long as they don't change the very same files. If that is the case, manouver the one you want to have most at the top.
I STRONGLY advice against overwriting the actual game files in the Steam folder!
If you feel like putting these altered textures in your own mod, feel free to do so, as long as you give credit.
That should be enough of the words for now, so here is the link and a few Screenshots:

You mean cutting the ornaments out of the da and implementing them in the cl alpha layer?
Unfortunately I didn't think of that. It would have saved me some time with the Eradica.
But the hardest and most time intensive part of the Eradica was removing those orange stripes that bled out of the actual lighted area into the surrounding bluish grey textures.
I included your mesh file in the download and also put the files into the fitting folders, so inexperienced people have it easier to put everything where it belongs.
Chances are I'm going to use this in my Infinite Space mod credits will be given ofc!
Thx for your work!
Good stuff this. Perhaps i will give it a try.
TBF, i expected this to be part of the official game, i still do not get, why some Titans do have teamcolored parts - those TEC ones, and some do not have them at all - there is no consistency. Especially with Vorastra i expected at least those glowing circles on top of it to become teamcolored instead of white, even if the hull-plating was not - but it never happened. Funny, since its texture has been slightly reworked in the last patch.
Since I don't think, replaceing all those red light would with teamcolor would look good on the Vasari (unlike the Advent) and the Kultorask lacked any obvious armor plates like it's loyalist cousin, I had to come up with something else.
And after weeks of thinking and looking I finally came up with something that might work.
As before, pictures and a link to the updated file are in the first post.
Very, very impressive...
