	~~==General==~~		'''Texture Replacement''' is an SCP feature implemented by Goober5000 which allows the user to alter the specific texture maps applied to pre-UVed chunks of the ship. As the name suggests, it does not alter the way these maps are applied in any way, but simply replaces the in-game data used for the ship. Its primary use is to allow premade nameplates for ships like the [[GTD Orion\|Orion]] and the [[Hardware Transformation and Lighting\|HTL]] [[GTC Fenris\|Fenris]] to be swapped on a per ship basis without the need for multiple table entries.

			There are 3 types of nameplates:
			1. nameplate with a background texture - like the stock Orion nameplate
			2. transparent pcx nameplate
			3. transparent .dds nameplate

Texture replacement can be accessed through the Ship editor (Accessible by Shift-S, right clicking a ship, or through the Editors menu).

			Two types of texture replacement are available: Regular and Duplicate Model. Regular runs just as fast as (in some cases faster than) a model with no replacement textures and consumes no additional memory. In contrast, Duplicate Model must load and reskin an entire additional model into the game for every ship that uses it, and on top of that it tends to run slightly slower.

			In summary, always use Regular replacement - do not use Duplicate Model unless troubleshooting for bugs.
