So I don't have to redownload the entire example...what .sui needs to be changed?

Ignore. Just as easy to redownload and resave the textures

Hmmm I am needing the templates for the Mack Anthem. But am not seeing them in the zip you linked. I have others but they dont seem to line up right. With the new SCS release.

@ServiusTheBear The templates are located at \vehicle\truck\upgrade\paintjob\mack folder. All those .dds make up the main parts of the truck, which are cab48, cab70, and cabday but you will still need to do the defl .dds for the deflectors of the truck and the skirt .dds for the skirts of the trucks.

Make sure you are using my latest file example. The day the mack came out i forgot a file line and that caused some issues but i fixed that a few days ago.

To make the paintjobs that pink/purple color you must have changed the file names. That usually happens when the game can't find the .dds files. So if you are changing file names make sure you change it everywhere to match, so in the .tobj file and the .sii files.

For the skirt and defl issues you MUST use those files. This truck and the international are set up different than all the other trucks. If you don't use those files you run into problems like you are having. The skirts and delf are different UV maps compared to the rest of the truck so they need their separate files.

Got that fixed. But now I am trying to figure out what bit on the main part is the skirts. So I can add the other part of my livery. When I do it on the skirt dds it doesnt seem to add. Am I missing something or is it on the main template I need to do that bit?

I appreciate your help greatly you have given so far. I am still new to the modding on ETS2/ATS

The skirt48, skirt 70, and skirtday .dds are what you are looking for to skin from what i can tell you are trying to skin. Sometimes a picture is easier to tell what you are talking about.

Thank you for making this mod, it’s so convenient!

I can’t recall seeing it so I’ll ask, did you make the same thing for ETS2?
