importing modded flares

[Kubikvater]

The other day i wanted to make a lightbox with lightbar for myself, but came across a tons of hookup values errors. I removed them because didnt know on how to get them into my project base path and therefore ingame it didnt light up so I would like to know how to import flares from mods or other standalones truck, also i would like to explain a bit more on how to make your own flares or if possible how to make a strobe flares. As i said im a noob at blender atm and im still learning, and one think that caught me of is how flares work, i learned the other day how lamps work and now just flares. I would be happy for some links or answers. Thanks

Did you set up Hookup Lib Dir in Tool, and did you import them with the correct directory path (with the other files from that mod in the same folder) ? The way SCS Blender Tool reads those paths inside Blender is the same as how it reads the actual mod; importing any model with an incorrect path will result errors

Yes i have selected unit hookup file in project base path and i imported it like from the mod through converter pix wrapper from mod folder, so if i understand it correctly i have to move the whole mod into the project base path of the mod before i can import the flares? iF yeah then thanks, and do ypu know some tutorials on how to do flares or smthg?

Yes, you need the whole mod, and sometimes additional material files from the base game as well, because they might not be included in the mod. I'm not familiar with making flare for accessories, sadly. You can try going through some tutorials on YouTube or wait until someone with experience answers here.
