Colourable Swarm Ships

Stellaris 4. 0 note: The texture replacement will still work, I am testing keeping this as a legacy mod and have one that adds a playable Swarm shipset. To be clear, even if not updated this won't break your game as it doesn't edit code. ---- This is a retexture for the swarm ships that allows their shells to be recoloured to your primary emblem colour. Also includes one bonus AI upscaled texture. It does not add a standalone ship type, it only changes swarm shell colours to their current owner. Should also work for living ship mods. This mod is mainly for people who use 'Playable Swarm' ship mods. Prethoryn Playable - Swarm Overhaul Forgotten Queens: Unnofficial Hive DLC Swarm Ship Set (Standalone) The mod will still have some features even if applied to the base game (see below.) The main use of this mod is so that, say you use swarm ships on two empires and they have a war, their fleets will be visually distinct. For example, two swarm empires clashing might look like a fleet of green-shelled monsters fighting brown-shelled. ____________________________________________________________________ - Biological/Hijacked Prethoryn strike craft will have a splodge of paint on the tail to show your side. - Compatible with palette expansions (try a jet black shell) - Differentiate your hive custom empires! - If you gain Prethoryn ships via mods or game events, they will be coloured to your empire. - Includes a 2x resolution replacer for the fighter. (Because it's upscaled as a corvette in some mods.) - Only the shells are coloured. I originally made the entire texture colour, but have since moved to a more serious method by using mainly the hard outer shell pieces. - Glowing orifices aren't coloured to your flag. I think it helps the vanilla Swarm crisis maintain their look anyway. - The colours are dark, like the Reptilian war stripes rather than humanoid glowing parts. It's harder to make out darker colours like red, but it looks great for gritty, evil hues. - Crisis-spaw
