[TUTORIAL] How to Make Skins using ETS2studio

[Mr Larrington]

Having created a variety of skins for Ohaha's Volvo FH 2013 (for different profiles) I've found that when adding "nguard_s" (rear bumper & lights) to a new truck, the options Stock Painted, Custom Ohaha, Custom Multi Light & Custom Low Plus all have an icky bright green part around the rear lights. For example:

This looks horrible. It only does it with the skins I've created. Any ideas?

airbrush - on
metallic - on
stock - on


DAF XF 105 (defualt) in-game correct
MAN TGX (defualt) in-game correct
Mercedes Actros (defualt) in-game (Able to select but looks like i have wrong templete skin off.)

the icon to select skin does not show
Iveco Stralis Not Showing

So here it is ..

Simple but ... mine!

You probably didn't assign it to a cargo.

Hey, I have some issues trying to create a skin with ETS2STUDIO. I tried creating .dds skin template, uploading it to ETS2STUDIO, but when I press Export Mod, software crashes. I tried creating it with .png skin template and it does export, but skin doesn't show up in game. What's the problem?

Hi,
yesterday I tried to make a FedEx skin for Volvo. The skin itself is white with logos on doors.
Problem is that in-game truck is black. I figure that the problem is the mask.
How can I turn it off?

Edit: My skin is covered by base color. Can you point me where is the problem?

Hi,

Great tutorial!!

I have now successfully created a number of ai trailer skins which work OK when used individually when placed in the mod folder (they appear in mod manager and I can see them in traffic when active). However, if I place two or more in the mod folder none of them appears in the mod manager... What am I doing wrong?

Should all required .scs files be 'packaged' in some way?

As much help greatly appreciated to this mod-newbie...

Thx
