Metallic Paint skin help

[Skeety2014]

How do you put a metallic effect on custom skins in ets2 1.10?

What's that got to do with making a metallic paintjob?

I guess there's some settings in the def files that mark a paintjob as metallic.
I don't know yet, but I'm sure that someone has figured it out, and will leave a comment

Not yet. Maybe, in future.

[Skeety2014]

Yeah, like these, and how do you update a custom truck with metallic paint?

Maybe he means this, posted 2 days back.

The settings for the metallic paints are in the .sii files of the DLC,

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
accessory_paint_job_data : color_m5.volvo.fh16_2012.paint_job
{
  name: "Aqua Serenity"
	price: 11500
	unlock: 0
	base_color :  (0, 0.0202, 0.0409)
  icon: "met_color5.dlc_metallics"
	base_color_locked: true
	stock: false
  
  flipflake : true
  
  flip_color : (0.0185, 0.0047, 0.0176)
  flake_color: (0.6239, 1, 0.913)
  
  flip_strength: 1.3
  flake_uvscale :  6.900
   flake_density :  1.0
  flake_shininess :  20.0
  flake_clearcoat_rolloff :  4.5
  flake_noise: "/vehicle/truck/upgrade/paintjob/flake_pattern04.dlc_metallics.tobj"
  
  base_color_locked: false
  flip_color_locked: false
  flake_color_locked: false
  
  alternate_uvset: true
}
}

You can find the metallic flake in the new base.scs file, base\material\custom\flake_noise.dds.

If you know how to edit .tobj's & dds alpha channels, you can create your own background pattern, like I have done. It's just a simple tiled image & you will need to play with the flake_uvscale to get it looking right. Here's my .sii file for you to look at,

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
accessory_paint_job_data : color_m10.volvo.fh16_2012.paint_job
{
  name: "Peach Wine"
	price: 11500
	unlock: 0
	base_color :  (0.2462, 0.0318, 0.0761)
  icon: "met_color10dlc_metallics"
	base_color_locked: true
	stock: false
  
  flipflake : true
  
  flip_color : (0.0953, 0.0193, 0)
  flake_color: (1, 0.5711, 0)
  
  flip_strength: 1.3
  flake_uvscale :  1.1
  flake_density :  1.0
  flake_shininess :  20.0
  flake_clearcoat_rolloff :  4.5
  flake_noise: "/vehicle/truck/upgrade/paintjob/flake_pattern10.dlc_metallics.tobj"
  
  base_color_locked: false
  flip_color_locked: false
  flake_color_locked: false
  
  alternate_uvset: true
}
}

Note how the names have a 10 in them, this will allow me to create 99 more tiled patterns hehehe.


Happy modding, Turt

Darn. This looks like a lot of work.

Great to see that you guys are digging into this.
