Creating a new Paintmod
- A paintmod is defined in \libraries\paintmods.xml and an associated ware in \libraries\wares.xml. The ware id associates the two records.
- Factions have a selected list of paintmods assigned in \libraries\themes.xml
- Pirate, Shady, and Station Traders may sell paintmods if the ware is added as a stock in \libraries\stock.xml
- It is possible to create custom paintmods using unique settings in paintmods.xml and by also adding additional patterns to \assets\textures\pattern. The pattern file is a *.gzip file with a *.dds file (Direct Draw Surface) wrapped inside.
