Hallo, @Carsmaniac

Frame, front board, side covers, rear bumper can be given a different color with Krone logo.
Please add: Krone Box Liner and Krone Profi Liner HD.

Thank you in advance.

I've just released v1.10.2 with support for the new 2018 Volvo VNL (just called "Volvo VNL"), as well as the Krone Box Liner and Krone Profi Liner HD (the flatbed). This update would have been out an hour or two earlier, but my Linux VM decided to explode, so I had to rebuild it :) Enjoy!

I don't understand. I have used this application so many many many times. but for some reason nowadays when I move my mod file in the mod folder. and boot the game. I select the mod in the mod manager. but for some reason the skin doesn't want to appear in the game. I just generated files with templates haven't done any editing yet. anyone able to help me out here?

You need to take the Content of the Project Folder and make a .zip File out of it.

Take this Files

mark them and Pack them together in a .zip File like shown below

place the .zip File in the Mod Folder and there you go

Hi, is it possible to add new dds files to the mod generated by PJP?
For example, FH tuning pack has three rear bumpers, I want to make separate paint for each of them, how can I do that?

[Carsmaniac]

@KARSHERU You'll need to make a new DDS, a new TOBJ, and update the SII files accordingly. I wrote out the following guide for someone else and recorded a video version of it, it uses the mirrors on the Scania R as an example, but the same process should work for any other part, including the FH bumpers. Hopefully it helps, let me know if you have any more questions!

-

E.g. if you wanted to separate the Main Mirrors out of the "Mirrors" accessory group, you'd make a new DDS called "Main Mirrors.dds", copy-paste one of the TOBJs, and rename it "Main Mirrors.tobj". Then edit the TOBJ to point to the new DDS file, open it with a hex editor (like HxD on Windows) and edit the path inside. One of the bytes inside it stores the length of the file path (in hexadecimal), so you'll need to update that as well. See 16:19 in the PJP tutorial video for more info. Edit the TOBJ, changing the file path to point towards "Main Mirrors.dds", and change that extra little byte towards the start as well, as the file path length probably would have changed.

To edit the SII files, go to def/vehicle/truck/(truck name)/paint_job/accessory, and open one of the SII files. Scroll down to the bottom, copy one of the "simple_paint_job_data" lines and paste it at the bottom to make a new group, increasing the ovr number so it's one higher than the previous one. Make sure it's between the two } curly brackets at the end. Then put down a new pair of curly brackets, and move "mirror.painted" and "mirror.painted_f" lines out of the Mirrors accessory group, and down into the new group that you just created. Then copy-paste a "paint_job_mask" line into the start of the new group, and point it to Main Mirrors.dds.

If there are multiple SII files in the accessory folder, you'll need to repeat for each one.

The process is fiddly and annoying, but there's kinda no better way to do it. Adding a feature to Paint Job Packer that lets you assign parts to different accessory groups would be a lot of work, but it's definitely an idea I'll keep in my back pocket, maybe for after the big 2.0 rewrite.
