where do I find the Civ 5 texture dds files on my hard-drive?

I'm using the Gaia / Sapiens mod, and I've just built the railroad artillery gun. The game says it can't find the texture file railarty_flag.dds. I know this is a known issue with gaia / sapiens, but I thought if I could take the regular artillery texture file I could just copy and rename it and then at least I wouldn't keep getting the error message. But I can't find the regular artillery dds texture file (or any texture file for that matter). Can anyone tell me where I can find it? Or is it buried inside a larger file? Thanks.
 
Sorry for not answering sooner - have been away.

You can try this file, hopefully it will work.

The attachment is a .zip file, as the board here won't let me upload the .dds file.

After you download it, you should be able to go to your Downloads folder, find the file, then Right-Click on it.

Hover your mouse over the the "Open With" option, then Left-Click on the "Windows Explorer" option. You should see the "railarty_flag.dds" file.

You'll need to copy this file to the mod's folder, usually located somewhere near:

C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS

Where "XXXX" is the account you installed the game under.

I'm not sure which specific mod you're playing, but you'll need to find its folder in the MODS folder. You can copy the file anywhere in that mod's folder, since Civ5 doesn't care about subfolders at all.

Good luck!
