Summary

  • Paintmods are color schemes applied to ship hulls, they are also referred to as paintjobs and skins.
  • The screenshots provided on this page are only for general reference. Based on environment, light and ship, a paintjob can be very different in appearance.

Adding a Paintmod to a Save

This will tag the save as modified

Paintmods are stored in the inventory node of the save xml as in the following example, this can be edited to have larger amounts of paintmods in a given save.

<inventory>

<ware ware="paintmod_0001" amount="100"/>

</inventory>

This example will set the save to have 100 "Shade of Innocence" paintjobs

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.
  • Each paintmod needs an icon for use in the UI. These must be located in \assets\fx\gui\textures\paintmods. The icon file is a *.gzip file with a *.dds file (Direct Draw Surface) wrapped inside.

More Information on making paintmods is available in a guide here (external link to steam guide).

List of Paintmods Included in Game

Paintmods are all included in the base game. The Split Vendetta (SV) and Cradle of Humanity (CoH) DLCs added themes for the additional factions, but the paintmods used are located in the base game.
