In the editor, the background I am trying to set up for a standalone map is showing up purple:



in the game.log, errors are being thrown basically saying I have a malformed .dds file. Section of interest:

Code: Select all

00:00:23.320 : <ERROR> [fs] Failed to open file "/C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Euro Truck Simulator 2/base/material/editor/uk.dds" in the read_only mode
00:00:23.320 : <ERROR> [resource_task] Can not open '/C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Euro Truck Simulator 2/base/material/editor/uk.dds'
00:00:23.335 : <ERROR> [dds] Malformed DDS file '/C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Euro Truck Simulator 2/base/material/editor/uk.dds'

00:00:23.372 : <ERROR> [dds] Can not load '/C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Euro Truck Simulator 2/base/material/editor/uk.dds'
Full file:

I have tried resaving said dds file multiple times (using DXT5 as is required- I think?) and checking my .tobj and defs.

Anyone got any ideas? ;)

Solved- there was a tobj error just above in the log that I missed, and I had used the wrong path in my tobj file. Remaking it fixed the problem.
