    Hi. I recently completed a mod for the Vanster to make it appear like the escape van from Payday 2, however I can't get it to work no matter what I try. Everything appears to be in order according to any guides I follow, and I have places the ZIP within the Repo folder in my AppData folder. Mod even appears within the repo in-game, yet it doesn't show up in either the spawn list or in the paint list on an already spawned vehicle. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

    I just need someone to look through the files and check if everything is in order. I can't spot any issues myself with it (this being my first time modding Beam.ng), so I need someone with a bit more experience to help out and tell me what's up so I can learn for next time!

    Also, where exactly would I have to place this file in my Beam.ng folders? Seems like theres a few (Documents, AppData, Steamapps/Common)

    I would happily help you out, but where's the zip file?
    Also, you must put the .zip in the mods folder in appdata one

    HECC, I must have accidentally deleted the ZIP whilst editing the message! Here it is:

    Eheh, thancs ^w^ Your oc is cyoot too
    Alrighty, so I found some mistakes that makes your skin didn't work;
    The first one is this

    That's why it didn't shows up in the livery list
    Now I thought the problem was all solved, but then when I tried to applied the skin, it just gave me a no texture sign, which means something is wrong with the materials.cs file. And so I was right

    As you can see, your .dds file name is not the same with the one in the materials.cs file, and so I just add "van_skin_" to the .dds file (Also I modified the jbeam file just a bit)

    I changed the "van_paydayescapevan" to "paydayescapevan")

    And voila!

    The mod works flawlessly


    And I must say, the skin is actually pretty good!

    No problem! We all make mistakes in the beginning. If you have more questions, I would happily answer them!
