Well i think the DDS files are done...

 

Simple_skin_tutorial A very simple and short picture based tutorial on how to create custom skins
Introduction_to_skin_system An In depth look at creating skins

First complete the simple skin tutorial for the Covet. Once you've done that you can graduate to the Burnside.

 

ok will do

 

Hey, sorry for the super late reply, and bumping this thread.

I'll skip the basics.
In your jbeam, just make it as a regular skin

Code:

{
"burnside_skin_yourskin": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"Your Name",
        "name":"Your Skin",
        "value":1500,
    }
    "slotType" : "paint_design",
    "globalSkin" : "yourskin",
}
}

inside materials.cs
normally you only need this

Code:

singleton Material("burnside.skin.yourskin")
{
   mapTo = "burnside.skin.yourskin";
    ...
};

but now copy that, paste it below and change "burnside" to "burnside_wagroof"

Code:

singleton Material("burnside_wagroof.skin.yourskin")
{
   mapTo = "burnside_wagroof.skin.yourskin";
    ...
};

then, link your textures to these materials' overlayMap and it should be working. "burnside" for the body, "burnside_wagroof" for the roof.



It seems that if the model's parts have 2nd UV, as long as the skin name in material.cs is the same as globalSkin value (this example I use "yourskin") they'll show up together.

 

Thanks!

strange my code causes the burnside to not spawn and comes with an error
--- Post updated ---

here is the error code

 

I actually can't make out what the error codes say
but most times it's something to do with jbeam, can you post the codes in your jbeam instead?

 

Code:

{
"burnside_skin_yourskin": {
    "An old model Ambulance based off of old caddilacs":{
        "authors":"TheShipMaster",
        "name":"Ambulance",
        "value":1500,
    }
    "slotType" : "paint_design",
    "globalSkin" : "yourskin",
}

it is probably a stupid mistake

 

Try adding a } at the very end on a new line.

 

same error even with

Code:

{
"burnside_skin_yourskin": {
    "An old model Ambulance based off of old caddilacs":{
        "authors":"TheShipMaster",
        "name":"Ambulance",
        "value":1500,
    }
    "slotType" : "paint_design",
    "globalSkin" : "yourskin",
}
}

 

The "information" part need to be just "information"

 

oof it worked now thanks and sorry
