Trailer painted accessory

#1 Post by umri20 » 02 Mar 2026 17:51

Hello all,

As the title says, is it possible to do a trailer-painted accessory?
The accessory works on the trucks, it is paintable, and the color is changeable.
When I put it on the trailer, it comes up, painted with the colors window, but the color doesn't change.
The color changes depend on the trailer body paintjob.
Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

It depends on what your accessory for the trailer is.
Accessories like the wheel nuts can be colored independently from the rest of the trailer.

Which shader did you use for the painted parts of your accessory? The truckpaint shader might allow for the colors to be changed separately from the trailer body.
Using a shader with the "paint" flavor will probably just have the accessory use the base color of the trailer body as it only allows for one color.

I did use the paint flavor, which worked fine for the truck accessory
So I used the same pmd file for the trailer but the color wouldn’t change.


@tinusman thanks for the suggestion

@umri20
I've already tried that too, and got the same result as you.

I think the game isn't configured for that.

@MDModder what shader did you use? Check what @KrysEmlyn said.

Hopefully one of the developers can help clear things out :)

You can easily paint an add-on part separately; these parameters are important. You can see what's different in the pictures.
