Re: ATS Example file structure mod using templates (Includes dump trailer & 2020 Cascadia)

So how I have the bumpers set up you will need to make a full paintjob for it. There is no .dds files in my mod that paint the bars/bumpers themselves. The files you found are for specific parts of the bumpers that are not paintable. The easiest way right now will be to use paintjob packer. https://...

Which one? All of them? When looking at the options for me it says viewers can download. With google drive you can't pull specific files from it, you have to download it all. The download button is in the top right of the screen and icon is a down arrow.

Re: Blender baking

Add a color ramp after the AO node and you can fine tune it even more.

Re: change the lvcol shader?

I have not ever tried changing this, but according to the documentation it is vertex color that changes it.

Re: Converter pix error when importing truck

I don't think it's the main problem but don't have " . " in your file names. "Package name can only contains characters from range a to z, 0 to 9 and underscore characters _" Source
So remove the decimal point in " daf_e6_lowdeck_4.1 "

Re: Ambient occlusion problems [solved]

Well just be careful, because it does matter what UV layout you use. If your UV layouts are different then the AO will not line up correctly. If the UV layouts are the same then it does not matter.

Re: Nodes for material\texture (problem black color)

Re: Ambient occlusion problems

I would just bake it normally in blender. Don't try to do it with SCS's materials. Blender baking is already annoying. No reason to make it even more annoying. To get it to another uv layout use a UV Map node. For .dds compression I use BC3/DXT5 for 2k and higher textures, then I do not use any comp...

Re: Create new materials

Understandable. Just did not want you frustrated trying to learn blender and SCS's addon/modding at the same time. The mod not showing can be a lot of things. Mainly make sure if its a new part that you have the icon correct filed edited in the material folder correct. The .sui/.sii in the def folde...
