The templates are included in the download of each truck, for the Peterbilt PB359 V2.2 when you decompress the downloaded .7z file you will have a folder containing the three truck mod parts plus a .zip file named "359_template.zip".

Not sure how much free time I'll have over the next few weeks but I'll be working on them as quickly as possible.

Getting through them;

Corrected the orientation of the Elliotts so the sides are both the right way round so they don't look like the below:

And I've done PBT too but haven't taken a picture. Once the B-doubles are done I'll start work on the Maxicube's :smile:

Looking good Tommo, I still think your Elliots K108 + Vawdrey B/D is one of the best combo paintjobs I've seen! :class:

Damn. I was coming back from queensland and spotted a Nolans b-double parked. Perfect shot of both trailers' artwork.

Would anyone be kind enough to tell what I'm doing wrong here? I'm sure I've updated all the files in the material folder successfully but I'm still getting this image on the skin selection screen:

These two are now done:

Also is there an example skin file for the Maxicube's please? Or can I change the vawdrey part to "maxicube" in this path: \vehicle\trailer_owned\upgrade\paintjob\rta_box\vawdrey and use the same structure?

Hi Tommo, if you email your Vawdrey paint mod to me at support@ozimodz.com I will have a look at it and I can email it back along with an example of one of my maxicube setups. :smile:

Sorry, I was out and on my phone and accidentally pressed "submit" before I finished typing :oops:
Back in studio now, the logic flow for the Paint Icon through the mod is: paint.sii>paint_settings.sui>paint.mat>paint.tobj>paint.dds
So I suspect that the problem with the paint icon in your Vawdrey would be one of the following: (where [paint] is your paintjob internal name)

a) In your; [paint]_settings.sui: Line #4: icon: "skin_test" where "skin_test" should be your "[paint]_icon" name the same as your "[paint]_icon" [paint].tobj and [paint].dds name
b) In [paint]_icon.mat file line #3: texture: "skin_test.tobj" should be your [paint]_icon.tobj
c) The "[paint].tobj" in your
{material/ui/accessory} folder might still be pointing to the "skin_test.dds" file
d) Your [paint]_icon.dds file in
{material/ui/accessory} folder might still be the "skin_test.dds" file

If the above doesn't help then you can still email your paintwork to me (even if you remove the paintwork.dds files to reduce file size) and I'll have a look at it.
I am just about to send you a PM with a copy of my Maxicube paintwork folder template that you can use :wink:

Cheers
Ian

Speaking of maxicube trailers..
v2.6 sees errors about concerning obsolete cog attributes even though I've just dropped parts 1 and 2 straight into the mod folder.

Thank you Ian, have wrestled with it this evening and managed to get no icon showing lol... look at my gamelog it's saying that it can't open the .mat file in ui/accessory (etc) folder... it's there lol.

Is there some special thing I have to do to the file?

This is for my Australian Native Landscape
material : "ui"
{
texture : "bdb_anl.tobj"
texture_name : "texture"
}

The .mat file calls the .tobj.. the .tobj has the path to the .dds
It's always a good idea to have the same filename for .mat, .tobj and .dds for paintjobs, but it doesn't have to be.
If it's saying it can't open the .mat file, that's usually because it can't find it.
Did you mistype the filename in the icon line of the paintjob def ?

Hi Tommo, I had a day like that last week, one step forward, two steps back, one step forward, aaand fall over! LoL :wink:

It sounds like the icon: "[paint_name]" in the [paint]_settings.sui def file might be named differently or have a different path to the location of your [paint].mat file.

For example, in the RTA demo paintwork the demo_settings.sui looks like this:

name: "Skin test"
price: 1
unlock: 1
icon: "skin_test"
airbrush: true
base_color: (1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000)
base_color_locked: true


And the skin_test.mat is located in: material/ui/accessory

Whereas in my paintworks for owned trailers I do it slightly differently, for example in my AiRoad paintjob (ozts097) the ozts097_settings.sui looks like this:

name: "AiRoad Intercity"
price: 1
unlock: 0
icon: "paintjob_trailer/ozts097"
airbrush: true
base_color: (0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000)
base_color_locked: true


And the ozts097.mat file is located in: material/ui/accessory/paintjob_trailer

So perhaps check that the location of your .mat file for the icon is located in the correct folder as set in your [paint]_settings.sui file.
Sorry it's such a long-winded answer, but hopefully it helps. :smile:

Is there a set ratio to the vawdrey skin stretching?
