Matte Black Paintjob

Fully compatible with game version 9. 00.

There is also a white variant: Matte White Paintjob

Description

This adds a new black paintjob (available as default theme). The game originally did not have any black paints and while it does these days - I still highly prefer my matte version versus the more reflective in-game offerings.

You can optionally use the mod "Ship Traders Sell Paint Mods" if you also want to be able to buy the paint as a paintmod to only overwrite the paintjob of single ships.

The theme is named: "0 Matte Black". Since the default paints are being sorted alphabetically, the "0" makes sure it is sorted first before all the vanilla paints. It was originally named with a ZZ in front to ensure it was sorted after the vanilla paints - but before my "All paintmods as Default Paint" mod. However since I changed the naming in that mod I changed it here too.

Installation

Manual installation only! I don't use Vortex and as such don't create mods for it.

Just put the folder that is inside the .zip-file into the extensions folder located inside the game's install directory.

Deinstallation

Just choose another theme, disable the extension and delete. If you don't choose another theme the game will default to paintjob 0001 - a "nice" red and green. While some small things - like you having these unlocked - is saved to the save file, these mentions are removed the next time you save with the mod disabled so it should be safe according to my testing.

Credits

I have to thank Skeletalfish for his guide on how default themes are added.

The player logo you see me using is not from me - it was shared by Egosoft forum user "Pares" here (scroll down to find it) as a logo for Val Selton from the Young Gun start.
