ATS Example file structure mod using templates (Includes Volvo VNL 2018)

[Alarthon]

Thank you. I may or may not do one for ETS. I haven't started trying to make one yet. I don't play it much nor do I have any of the dlc. Any trucks / trailers are locked behind dlc?

[abasstreppas]

All trucks are included in the base game for ETS2 as most of the trailers. Only Krone and Schwarmuller trailers are DLC's

But this is ATS, trucks come as DLC's you need to extract them separately, unlike ETS2 where they are in the main base and def .scs files

I can make the skin just fine in Photoshop, but how do I put it in Mods Studio since there isn't a Mack template in the app?

[Alarthon]

@chadrob30 With this you don't need to use mod studio. You can just replace the .dds with your .dds and put the zip into your mod folder. Id delete all the other trucks/trailer folders you don't use to make the file smaller. If you want to use mod studio ask in viewtopic.php?f=199&t=204525 . Ive never used mod studio besides editing .tobj so i know nothing of it, sorry.

I could use some help.

I used this mod when it came out and had no problems with it. However, recently my skin is totally messed up on the grain hopper. I did not change the mod at all, and I looked at the templates in the latest version and see no changes, yet my skin is totally scrambled. It should look like the flatbed/tarp version (logo forward, green stripes at the rear) you see below:

The hoppers however look like this:

You can see the logo on the right side is stretched and so low it loses the text that is supposed to be below it. You can compare to the tarp version at the top. Also, the roof should be green on the hoppers.

My DDS file looks like this:

I feel a bit stupid because this is probably something obvious but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

[Alarthon]

Looks like SCS might have changed something because it's messed up for me too. Im guessing they updated the trailer UV's maps. Im looking at them in blender now and will update this post if i find anything.

edit: They indeed changed the UV maps. Im making new templates now and will update my mod with the new templates.

@BK Vissers Ive updated my mod with the new templates. Thank you very much for letting me know about them. Sadly the templates have changed a lot so you will have to readjust your skins for the trailer all over again.

[BK Vissers]

@Alarthon that was very nice of you to do that so quickly. May I ask, did you only have to update the hopper trailer, or all the others as well?

[Alarthon]

All that I saw changed was the hopper trailer. I went over all the trailers again and the rest look fine. So just need to change the one.

Thank you again! Your mod is so incredibly convenient.
