Help Painting

If you want colorable skins, you need to follow this guide:
https://wiki.beamng.com/Introduction_to_skin_system#Colorable_Skins_.28Advanced.29

 

Please check carefully the guide.

You got it wrong:
- Your 'colorpalette' is not correct ( see colormap section in the guide ). It's supposed to be red/green/blue. It controls the color selectors.
- Your 'overlay' map is not there ( see skin texture section in the guide )

 

The problem is not the name, but the file you have would not work as a colorpalette.
The guide I posted has example of how a colorpalette should look like.

Example:


Yours:


As you see, the color palette should only be red/green/blue.



That 'test_uv1.dds' file you have is not a colorpalette, but the skin file. You should name it something else, like 'myskin.dds'.
You need to create a NEW .dds file named 'myskin_uv1.dds' following the guide, to be used as colorpalette.



I see that English is a problem there, but unfortunately we do not got instructions in your language, or a video guide about that

 

You can use any software.


One thing:
- Do you want to be able to change car color when using your skin?
- Or you just want to have a fixed color when using your skin?

If the first, you necessarily need to follow the guide I posted above.
If the second, you can just make a simple skin, and color the background with the color you want (no need for the guide I posted above)

 

Then paint everything in your skin.
And set the car color to white.

That way, your skin will look exactly the same as in paint.net.

 

Forget the 'Colorable Skin' for now, you don't need that.
That's advanced and only needed if you do not want a fixed color.


You said you want a fixed color, so you need to follow this: https://wiki.beamng.com/Simple_skin_tutorial
Simply color your skin as you want. If you want it to appear red, color it red. Layers do not matter, when you save it, they are all merged together.
In-game, you must use white car color for your skin to show correctly

 

1 uses 'Colorable Skins' (guide I posted above).
2 and 3 do not use 'Colorable Skin'. You have to paint skin blue, and use body color white.

 

I'm afraid we are not understanding each other.
Language barriers are not helping.

If you want a fixed color, follow this:
https://wiki.beamng.com/Simple_skin_tutorial

In that, you only have:
- materials.cs
- jbeam file
- 1 skin file


If you want changing color, you need to follow this:
https://wiki.beamng.com/Introduction_to_skin_system#Colorable_Skins_.28Advanced.29

In this you have:
- materials.cs
- jbeam file
- 2 skin files needed

 

This is almost correct:

You just need to invert the test_uv1.dds color (green background, transparent square)

Transparent = test.dds original color
Green = Tuning Color + test.dds color
