Skinners, help me: the colour doesn't stick.

[MattJkt]

Dear all,

After the overwhelming response to my previous question (which ran literally in the zeroes), I am going to try again; but with a different question.

As previously mentioned, I like to make skins for trucks (basically because I cannot mod any deeper, being unable to run Studio on my Linux laptop). I paint parts, but keep other parts blank (alpha, transparent), and this will allow for the basic colour to show. I set the basic colour in the def .sii, and keep locked set false, so you can in the game set a different colour. Same applies to the sheen in metallic paints.

Here, however, I run into trouble. Yes, I can edit the basic colour in the game, but as soon as I purchase, or if I add other things to the truck, the colour returns to the basic colour as defined in the .sii, and the newly-chosen colour disappears.

What am I doing wrong? Could a more experienced modder help me?

Best regards,

Matt
