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.

This is a fantastic tool @Carsmaniac ! The file structure it sets up is so clean and easy to make quick changes. I am just starting to work on paint jobs and this tool is making my life a whole lot easier.

@Carsmaniac

Hi, I went to see if the new version is available on your site, with the compatibility of the new truck, Freightliner Cascadia, but there is only version 1.5, the one I own.
I guess you're working on it, even with the whole Covid mess. By the way, everything is fine in your part.

Anyway, thanks for your work. Your program is very useful to me, because unfortunately I don't know the compilation of the various files, strings to insert etc. Thanks to your program, it makes it much easier for me.

I've just released an update with support for the Freightliner Cascadia! Enjoy :)

Version 1.5.1
  • Added support for Freightliner Cascadia
  • Improved placeholder mod manager, Workshop and icon images
  • Removed support for Galimim's Cascadia mod
  • Fixed an issue causing a missing library folder to crash Paintjob Packer without an error message

Thanks for updating this tool, @Carsmaniac ! It's exactly what you need, and nothing more and nothing less, to make a paint job mod with proper file structure.

I am astonished not to see in the list the chereau trailer of MD Modding ??

Can't we add Mods ourselves ?

This is so awesome! Especially for those who are beginers.

I have a question though, after i did all the steps, i wanted to replace the files generated by your software (D:\Paintjob Packer Output\Red Edge\vehicle\truck\upgrade\paintjob\Red Edge\Scania S), with the files from a skin from base.cfg, named folder cougar_01 for Scania S. Originaly the skin In game is named Golden Edge and has orange lines. I just edited all the dds files with the desired look (from orange to red), but how to put them in my generated folder if they have different names than what your software named them. Also when i tried to archivate with 7zip all the files by selectic what's inside the base folder generated, in game at mod manager, i don't see the picture example Mod_Manager_Image (at least as a test) and neither the description

I post a printscreen.

Left are files from base.cfg and right are the files generated by Paintjob Packer.
