Kenworth K100-E

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.

Yeah, you can do that. If you wanna use Photoshop to do this, you'll need the DDS Plugins for it so that it can read/write .dds (DirectDraw Surface) documents. Google will help there.
Once you do that, you can open one of the cab templates and get started. It's my advice that while in production, save and load as PSD. When the paintjob is ready for testing, save as .dds
You mention Ai. If you are more comfy with Illustrator for drawing vectors, then you can copy'n'paste those vectors outa Ai straight into a layer in Ps as a 'smart object', or simply as pixels.
Be carefulwhich cab template you use from which folder. alt_uv set 'false' means the template show one side of the cabin and any paint there is reflected to the other side. 'true' means you see both sides of the cab and can paint them separately. This is best for placing text on the truck.
Good luck. Your obsession starts now :)
If you suck at playing the trumpet, that's probably why.

On the first page of this thread there is a link to template files in png format, (well it's a zipped file with several templates in it) which will open in Photoshop.

In Photoshop, instead of vectors you can just create shapes, which more or less work the same as vectors in AI.

Generally speaking I would create a new psd file, depending on the level of detail I want in the end result 4096x4096 or 8192x8192 (or smaller if it's for AI traffic) @ 300dpi just because I like it that way (dds will go back to 72dpi) and add the, in this case png as base layer (I have a preset psd file with all templates nowadays) and just build on that, when finished save as new psd for future reference and changes, and save a copy as .dds for the mod.

amazing truck. The only suggestions to fix is the engine break sound as it's too soft and quiet. these trucks have very very loud engine break and a new horn and reverse beeper. Otherwise it rolls along nicely. Are we mean to hear the gear shifting up and down?

The truck uses stock SCS sound from the W900, if you want better sounds i recommend the Kriechbaum Engine Sound Pack viewtopic.php?t=201930

*brake

Not "break". ;)
You can write almost any way you want, and you might make yourself understood.
But, if you don't use standard English properly, you would also help people understand that you aren't well educated.

PLEEEEAAASE whoever has taken over modding of the Kenworth K100 / K100e by Overfloater, can it please be updated to 1.44 the current version for ETS2, the steam version is outdated and I know that overfloater said he doesn't have time anymore, but please its been so long that truck needs an update.

Just edit the version number. Make sure you're using the one from the workshop. I'm using it now in 1.44 in "Show your truck ETS2" Mine is in there since yesterday with a DSV livery.

Is it normal for your kenworth to be so quiet? I also drive Freightliner FLB edited by Harven and even the startup sound is loud and beefy. Your truck seems to be pretty quiet even if the windows are down.
