    So, How do i take thumbnails for car configs?
    i wanna do it with the thumbnail generator, but, when i tried to take a thumbnail, it messed up the other thumbnails of the configs, thankfully i got that fixed,
    but does anyone have a tutorial on how to use the thumbnail generator?

    If the generator doesn't work for you then just ask someone else to make the thumbnails, it's supposed to work normally by default, has no settings and there is no way to "fix" it, if it's broken for you then you can't do anything unfortunately

    I doubt, it's also broken for me and it worked before, and it's so easy to use that there is no way of doing it wrong

    I tried it a while ago and it also didn't work, but I also thought I messed something up, due to the scripting I was doing at the time. I'll take a closer look at this, and forward this issue if needed.

    Hmm, so currently there are 2 thumbnail utilities: "Vehicle Screenshot Creator" and "Vehicle Thumbnails (OLD) - use screenshot creator" (both of these are found in Window > Experimental in the F11 World Editor). The old one actually works great for me, and the new one throws a critical error when starting the process. Each utility runs from its own Lua module, and there was definitely a lot of copying and pasting from the old one to the new one, but the error will definitely need to be acknowledged and fixed. Try using the "old" utility for now?

    i think the screenshot creator is more made for car mods ( like tha aw astro ) than configuration pack
