You do not need to alterate the script, just delete the old uv and/or
vertex color, then enter the vertex paint mode and you can see that the mesh
takes texture colors . If it is a tight mesh you will have
a pretty resemblance . Give new uv and you will see these color in
the uvpainter screen.  You have just to save the pict with or without
line to show  uv coords.
