Replacing Textures

Is there a simple way to replace individual texture files?

For example, all I want to do is override the skin for the Warrior unit, is there a way to do this without having to re-export the .gr2 model with a reference to an entirely new texture name?

Yes. If you simply give the texture the same name as a vanilla one, set it to VFS=true, and check the Reload Unit System checkbox, then your new texture will override.

Thanks for the help. Do I need to put it in any particular folder? I have set VFS to True and Reload Unit System but my new texture still isn't loading when the mod is activated.

I am using Beyond Earth (that forum is dead right now), but I don't think that should make so much difference as the game appears to work identically.

The folder doesn't matter.

You're right that it being Beyond Earth shouldn't make a difference, but y'know, now that I think about it, I'm not sure that technique works after all. I think it may have a long long time ago before the changes to the unit subsystem. Regardless, the other method is extremely easy.
