Lucky that there is already a topic on this.
I have a question on it cause i seem to be dumb right now.

I try to make a custom metallic skin, and everything seems to work....except the flake which gives me ingame only a
shader not found texture.
have i saved the flake texture in the wrong format? (saved it as dxt5 with mipmaps)
Or is the problem the filepath (only renamed the texture names in it to fit with the names i gave them)?

You and me both brother

I can make a mettalic skin, I can make a normal skin, I just can't for the life of me figure out how to combine the two. I want a metallic base paint with decals.

accessory_paint_job_data : one_two.volvo.fh16_2013.paint_job
{
	name : "One, Two"
	price : 2500
	unlock : 0

	icon : "blackonred"
# mask colors
	mask_r_color : (0.85, 0, 0)
	mask_r_locked: false

Aradeth check out this thread viewtopic.php?f=123&t=164365

So this how I got it to work. You have figure out what part of the skin you want metallic, you can't have two different metallic parts on the same skin. So in the paint you are asking about I assume you want the red part to be metallic. In your photo edit program you have to select and hide or turn off the red layer so there is nothing behind it. Once you hide/turn off that layer you should see "empty space" behind it.

Then save the paint as a .png file. Open up ETS 2 Studio and create new mod for your skin, and then save it.

After you saved it you will have to edit the .sii file and add a several lines to make the skin metallic since ets2 studio does recognize metallic skins yet. The lines you have to add are in the the thread I posted.

Its a little confusing but if you know how to make skins it should make sense I hope
