XRrebirth - Texture expansion for X:R Ships.

This mod aims at converting the legacy materials from X:Rebirth that are in X4 into the new shader system. This mod is meant to be used in conjuction with mods that port ships from X:Rebirth, however, this does not change or alter any of those mods nor is it dependent on them. This mod adds replacement textures as well as modifying the material_library.xml file to adapt the legacy materials. So instead of having diffuse, specular and normal there is now diffuse, metal, smooth and normal maps for those ships. The conversion is not perfect, by any means, so the ships will not be 1:1 with the X:Rebirth counterparts but they do look decent in X4. Also, I don't think you can change the paint style quite just yet, if that's even possible I still don't know.

I may release a version in the future that uses the diffuse files straight from legacy, however these appear very dark in-game so I adapted them based on the vanilla equivlents.

Recommended to be used with sco's "ashipmod" https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/156?tab=description
