So I was working on Civil War Era and I felt that the normal texture for coruscaunt didn't fit the
era. After a while of thinking I came up with the idea to re-texture it through the lua.
And it resulted like this (much more fitting): Okay now that I'm done explaining what happened and showing a picture here's how I did it

1# First create a new side and call it Textures (example) now make a req and set it up like this: now copy the cor1 tga files (or the map your re-texturing's tga files) in the assets folder and place them in your sides msh folder. Edit them however you want.
Next go into the req folder and create :
whateveryouwanttocallit
Now place the names of the tga files you edited in it like this: Now the side is ready.

2#Now that the side is ready open up your stock maps lua and find this: and add these lines: 3#Go to "Data_***/_BUILD/Sides" and make a folder called Textures.

After that go into "Data_***/_BUILD/Sides/ALL" and copy a munge.bat
and clean.bat and paste them into "Data_***/_BUILD/Sides/Textures"

Then munge with EVERYTHING selected for sides and your done!

EDIT; ADDED STEP 3

Huh, that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info!

That is very cool! Maybe it could be used to make certain maps fit certain eras. Now THAT would be super cool, like a reskinned Death Star for clone wars or something. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Very useful

This method works for sky as well.
Just get the texture of the sky from the stock maps
world1 folder. Set it up the same way.
I haven't tried the terrain but it should work the same.
