Eventually I'll document how to mod and edit World of Warships files here. To start with I'm going to play around with replacing “unrealistic” camo for some ships with more historical (though not entirely historically accurate) paint schemes.

I use GIMP and the DDS plugin for this:

https://www.gimp.org/ https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-dds/ https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-normalmap/

I will use the RN cruiser Leander as an example and replace the 2017 camo that was a campaign reward from Santa's Christmas Convy.

First you need to download the resource unpacker tool, MajorRenegade has uploaded it here.

You will need to extract to res/camouflages.xml and the file res\content\gameplay\common\camouflage\textures\BSC012_Leander_1943_camo_02.dds

Describe steps here.

Here I will use the example of removing the “beer can” on the top of the Kobayashi custom camo for the Roma.
