ATS Example file structure mod using templates (Includes Volvo VNL 2018)

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.

But I already did it guys, delete the layer, hide and leave only the color layer, lock and unlock the color in the mack70_settings.sii file in the def folder and this always happens. I have a skin on a Volvo FH and I never had this problem and honestly, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I compared the .sii .sui .tobj files from a skin I downloaded from a Mack Anthem and it doesn't matter (just the name of the files) and again, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Im afraid the settings of the files have nothing to do with the template showing up. It's how you are editing the .dds file. Look over the .dds file again and make sure when you export it, that the template is not there. Other than that im not sure. I just downloaded the example folder, edited the .dds and it works fine for me.

I DID IT!!! There was a checkbox checked when exporting the .dds file. Now I can start the work of editing my company's skin! Thank you all for your help! :D :D :D

Looks good so far. Nice and clean. There is a great thread with tons of resources for adding details to skins:

I have not been able to get that done using the skin. I assume the glass is all handled in the model. Someone more knowledgeable than myself can confirm.

@PBandJ Actually, the CVSA decals do go on the windshield.

@DTavaresProg2112
To get window decals you need to use a mod like SiSL's mega pack addon. That or you modify the interior yourself in blender.
