NO TEXTURE on skin

Hello,

I recently made a skin that has a dds file, and put it in the mods folder in the game's files. I opened BeamNG, and it showed up as a mod. But However, when I applied it, the "no texture" skin appeared instead. Am I missing something?.

This wiki site gave me the template that I used to make my skin. Even though it is customized, I never changed the name.

i'll send you the file....

 

i'll se

 

Ok, first things first, this should be in mod support, but anyway.
What is a .pdn it is unreadable file which may be your issue.

Secondly, you need to make the names match
your image file (what ever format that is) is called

Code:

Toreba SKINSMAPLE_YOURNAME.pdn

and in the materials.cs it's

Code:

SKINSAMPLE_YOURNAME.dds

That will cause issues

A third note, you should create a unique name to allow the mod to work properly. Usually I use a name which relates to the mod.

An extra hint;
Read these and learn it, it'll help alot.

Also, what software do you use to make the skins?

I hope this information helps

Here's a quick attempt to fix it, I did on my phone, I haven't had a chance to test it yet so there might still be issues.

Edit: 17:13 UTC
removed download to fix issue

Edit: 17:16 UTC
Fixed silly error I noticed

Code:

In materials.cs
hatch_skin_toreba.dds → hatch_skin_toreba.png

to match actual texture file

 

Thanks for the help! I will test the file right now.

btw, I used paint.net

 

The file works! thanks for all your help.
