[ETS2 & ATS] Paint Job Packer - Lightweight mod making tool [Windows/macOS/Linux]

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

@Carsmaniac Hi how are you? In your opinion is it possible to skin the livestock trailer?

I was following your guide using Gimp but when i save the file and try it out in-game it is a white truck only, any ideas on how to fix this?

EDIT: I solved it! Turns out i needed to merge my things with a empty layer that covered the entire picture

Thanks for the program update @Carsmaniac.
It is possible to create more than one trailer painting variant in the Paintjob pack program?
I'm doing trailer paintings based on divisions so I would like to know if it's possible to do this.

@magicko84 I don't think so, since there are no paintjobs available for it in-game, not even different colours. I opened the model up in Blender, and the UV map doesn't look like it was designed for paintjobs.

@Robotwars1 I'm glad you figured it out! I'm guessing that without that empty layer maybe the image was exporting at a weird resolution or something? Either way, at least it's working now :)

@mastine Not all at once, but you can easily combine multiple mods together into a single mod. I wanted to add a way to make multiple different paintjobs at once, but if you want each paintjob available on different vehicles (e.g. a paintjob pack with a standard truck + trailer paintjob, plus an alternate trailer-only paintjob) the UI gets a bit complex. The way I do it for my mods is that I generate each variant separately using Paintjob Packer, then I drag the def, material and vehicle folders from one mod into another, which essentially combines them. I demonstrated it in my tutorial video from 13:11 to 14:00.

A much simpler program than MODSTUDIO for someone like me who is really idiotic to learn how to use it: D
A question, as in the picture in the game, IJL's full painted mirrors, why do they look like this to me, when they are painted in the template?
Thanks
Fabio

@Ryu_Hoshi_DSD The mirrors on the template are SCS's painted mirrors, and by the looks of it IJL has mapped their painted mirrors differently. Based on how your mirrors appear in-game, it looks like they're positioned roughly where the red rectangles are on this image, and if so they appear to be designed to work as separate accessories just like the (non-modded) sideskirts, so YMMV when getting a paintjob to work on them. I'd recommend just sticking to the vanilla painted mirrors instead of using the ones provided by the mod. Good luck!

Hello, is it possible that the MAN TGX by Gloover comes into the program?

Good evening, If support could be considered for the Kögel Cargo by Dotec (on steam) it would be greatly appreciated. T
