+====== Custom Texture ======
+**Custom texture** by Mateck
+That custom texture is a very interesting thing, pretty nice and saves quite some megabytes.
+Any details on how its done?
+Yes it saves megabytes as we don't need to create .p3d models for every paint scheme in our addon.
+The way to do this is very simple.
+) select all faces that are using single texture\\
+) create new selection
+http://img507.imageshack.us/my.php?image=76597046um7.jpg
+) in config.cpp under vehicle class put something like this
+<code cpp>
+hiddenSelections[] = {"01_co","02_co","03_co","04_co"};
+</code>
+where *_co are selections used by our T-72
+) now those selections will be invisible in game, to avoid this we need to use setObjectTexture command under Init EventHandlers of our addon or later in game
+For our T-72 we used following code
+<code cpp>
+class Extended_Init_EventHandlers
+{
+     class CH_T72 {
+          init = CH_Textures = [_this select 0, ""BIS""] execVM ""\ch_t72\scripts\textures.sqf"";";
+                    };
+};
+</code>
+and here is example code for textures.sqf
+<code cpp>
+_tex = _this select 0;
+switch (_this select 1) do
+{
+case "BIS" :
+{
+_tex setObjectTexture [1,"\ch_t72\data\t72_1_co.paa"];
+_tex setObjectTexture [2,"\ch_t72\data\t72_2_co.paa"];
+_tex setObjectTexture [3,"\ch_t72\data\t72_3_co.paa"];
+_tex setObjectTexture [4,"\ch_t72\data\t72_4_co.paa"];
+};
+};
+</code>
+And that will be all. Fell free to use this code or change it whatever you like ;)
+We still need to test this feature to ensure that there is no negative impact on performance and it works fine in multiplayer.
+Need to say that this hole idea of custom textures is inspired by Dune Buggy addon by Sebastian Muller from OFP
+**Suma**
+That was really the original purpose, but with ArmA you can also change textures on "hiddenSelections" using "hiddenSelectionsTextures".
