I've found some errors (in the version that was uploaded here, at least) in Machines apart from the lack of music.

The interior of some (I haven't verified all of them) buildings is the one of the Red Race, even if that building belongs to another race.

Also, I've noticed that the Blue Race uses, sometimes, the Green Race's logo/badge. The Green Race's pod has the exact same badge that appears in the Red Race's campaign as well. This last two details could be justified considering the storyline.

In addition, some of the textures look a bit odd. For example, the Green Race uses a camouflage pattern that isn't very aesthetic. So we could implement something like this:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M90_(camouflage)
Or the olive green used by the USA in WWII and Vietnam, etc.

Some of the badges/decals look strange as well.

I'll see what I can do.

Any observations/comments/ideas?

One more thing: is it possible to add another race for including white or gray (the creators intended to add the last one but didn't, for some reason)?

Proposal:

• Landscape: snow;
• Landscape: lunar;
• Landscape: terraformed (presence of chlorophyll);
• Landscape: desert.

BASE/MAIN Colors:

• White (replaces red);
  
  

• Gray (replaces blue);
  
  

• Green (replaces green);
  
  

• Beige (replaces yellow);
  
  

• Other.
  
  

Test:
Modified red pod´s texture from the following folder: models->texture2.
Result: successful.

The previous result has been achieved using Photoshop CS6, yet, I ignored the fact that the textures are BMP files, which does not enable me to implement any tools appart from modifying the image as a whole. This makes things much more difficult. I haven't tried converting other images into BMP (that would be great), but I'm not sure if this project is going to be as easy as I thought. Furthermore, there are some interesting textures that could make the machines look awesome.

@Pisarz What tools were you thinking of implementing?

So the textures are overlayed with color in-game? I'm a graphic designer so if you need some skills let me know :)

All the tools related with rendering in general.

Without selecting any area (using the "magic wand" tool in this case), I can make adjustments to the image as a whole piece. This might be enough for some textures, but some others require more work, which I can't do due to this problem.

When I select an area, the adjustments get blocked.

Furthermore, I can no longer paint this texture (which has been saved after being modified).

I'll continue experimenting (I still haven't tried converting other formats into BMP and replacing original textures using the same name).
If I manage to solve this problem, I'll upload a step by step guide for modifying the textures.

Yes, it's as if it was meant to be of that color.

Awesome! I'll keep that in mind!

This represents my frustration:

I actually converted an image into a BMP and replaced a texture by said image with the same name.
Guess what.... THE GAME CRASHES.

@Pisarz Try double clicking on the layer as it is now locked because it's set as background. Doing that will make it a normal layer which should unlock all edit options for you.

I tried again with both the same file and another one. The attempt was unsuccessful. Yet, this could be due to one of the following possibilities:

• My version of Photoshop CS6 is portable. For example, I cannot load frames from a video to make animated gifs.
• The game's BMP files are not exactly of the same format as modern BMP files (is this even possible?).

Update:
I attempted to do this with Photoshop CS5 and the result is the same.
I suspect that the problem is related with the files and not with Photoshop.
