Texture problems on Black Osiris

I am retexturing the Osiris to make it a black ship.

I replaced the MIPS and compiled the .mat file.

I changed shiparch.ini to load this new .mat file, and i change every entry from the original file to the modded file.

Now when i start SP i see a Black Osiris (as it should be), but when i launch to space it's suddenly the old osiris, except for the turrets. because they are black too.

This occurs both when using a save game and when starting a new game.

I wonder if i missed something and i hope one of you could help me.

Analyze the Bootstrap Mod. It has a Black Osiris with Gold trim(Same with the Anubis, which in turn affects the Defender.) Take a look, perhaps it has the answers you seek.

Cool, thanks!

(should you be interested, my own mod is hosted on the BattleClinic, and it makes all ships playable, with exception of the nomads)

I'm no modder, I'm just very observent. I'm trying to make a good Junkers mod, But I'm just a beginner. Thanks for the offer though.

Got it!

Though it wasn't in the bootstrap mod, i found out what i've been missing.

It was actually quite logical. The Osiris uses Liberty textures. It seems that on planets the new textures could override those, but in space, the liberty textures from the liberty ships in space would override the new osiris textures, thus making it appear like old one!

I realised this when i saw that on the same shipbuyer the Rhino appeared to use the new Osiris textures and i finally came to realise that the ships use textures that have (now had ) the SAME names.

I fiddled around a bit with the names of the textures so they wouldn't be the same on liberty ships and the Osiris, and voila: there comes the Black Osiris!

Hey...

A black Anubis, with a gold trim?
Sounds familiar...
