Help with badges/lettering for new ETK I series trim

So I've almost completed my mod but i can't figure out how to add the right badges for it.

I copied the 2000 lettering and renamed it to 2300 in blender and exported it to dae. (i know the models work, because i also have a different engine that shows up). However ingame it still shows 2000 lettering, i suspect the game is still reading the base lettering texture instead of what i had cooked up (i reused the original texture and change 2000 to 2300 basically).



Here's the Jbeam:

Code:

"etki_lettering_trunk_2300": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"ErichM",
        "name":"2300 Trunk Lettering",
        "value":52,
    },
    "slotType" : "etki_lettering_trunk",
    "flexbodies": [
         ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
         ["etki_lettering_2300", ["etki_trunk"]],
    ],
},

Here's the 2300_parts.materials.json

Code:

  "etki_lettering_i5" : {
    "name" : "etki_lettering_i5",
    "class" : "Material",
    "persistentId" : "070fe046-6f84-477d-a965-a4fcc70b2aab",
    "Stages" : [
      {
        "colorMap" : "vehicles/etki/etki_lettering_i5_d.dds",
        "normalMap" : "vehicles/etki/etki_lettering_i5_n.dds",
        "pixelSpecular" : true,
        "reflectivityMap" : "vehicles/etki/etki_lettering_i5_s.dds",
        "specularMap" : "vehicles/etki/etki_lettering_i5_s.dds",
        "specularPower" : 128,
        "useAnisotropic" : true
      },
      {},
      {},
      {}
    ],
    "alphaRef" : 70,
    "alphaTest" : true,
    "castShadows" : false,
    "dynamicCubemap" : true,
    "mapTo" : "etki_lettering_2300",
    "materialTag0" : "beamng",
    "materialTag1" : "vehicle",
    "materialTag2" : "decal",
    "translucent" : false
  },

Any help or direction would be appreciate, thanks.

 

I manged to solve the problem myself. I created a new material in blender and assigned it to the new lettering model, then in the materials.json set the "mapTo" parameter to what i called it in blender. It's super obvious now that i think back on it.
