I'm currently taking my truck license and will start working for Glava as soon as I have my license. I've made a skin for RJL's Scania R that looks quite like what I'll be driving in real life. ...I will however be driving a Renault T, but Scania is just better....

However, I'm wanting to make a matching skin for an Ekeri tandem trailer but I have no clue how to do it. I've just followed a few random youtube tutorials but I can't figure out how to add a skin to a mod trailer.

Here's my skin. What I want is pretty much just copy the box design onto a tandem trailer.

@Lawrsen91 more likely to get attention if you post a new thread in help&request

you seem to have made a nice skin, the box on the truck ...well you have the basics - so doing the same for the trailers piece of cake...it's just another template to use ...

and if you find it hard to create those definitions to apply that custom skin onto various trailers, I would suggest to take a look at the Mods Studio 2 ...easy click/add/export and you're ready to play the game with your skins....
thread on this forum viewtopic.php?t=274650 , links to discord (first post signature...) for further support/additional files to make it possible to compile your desired skinmods.

And to see it in action,check this link out..a short video compiling the skins made from the templates into a ready mod ...
Works most of the time same way for all trailermodels ...small variations

So I've been trying for a bit by myself and used mods studio to import the mod to make xml files, but for some reason I'm not able to skin all of the trailers. I can skin the ones with a dolly, but not the smallest one without a dolly.

Skin on the first one, not on the second one.
What I did in the beginning was to just make skins of the templates with numbers so I knew which trailer used which xml, but none of them applied to the non-dolly small trailer.

I've posted in the thread for mods studio, tried to post in the discord but don't have permission and I've even PM'd you but no answer yet.

Bonus skin by me:

the one with the dolly is the short tandem ... it has it's own xml ETS2.Kast.Ekeri.Rigid_Short.xml ...the short with drawbar is the midaxle .... it is included in the ETS2.Kast.Ekeri.Semi.xml as it is the trailer that is also in b-double combination

Hello fellas!

I've just installed the Ekeri Tandem trailers ADDON for 1.43 but it seems to be not working. As soon as I choose the Ekeri trailers at the trailer dealership the game crashes. Plus there is no logo in the trailer dealership. Does anyone of you have a guess what I'm messing up? Do screenshots might be helpful?
Thanks for your help.

Shizzle

Hello, Kast.
Am I the only one who can't see the trailer cables in the mirror?
