    Hey,

    as long as the vehicle has an 'Interior Color' slot, you can create interior skins for it.

    There is a special skin system implemented for such kind of things.

    First of all you have to modify your jbeam a bit. Add a skinName to.
    To use the skin system the material name needs to have some special tags. It's like:

    "burnside_interior.skin_interior.raceskin"
    "vehicle_interior.skin_interior.skinName"

    Use this as the material name and as a string for mapTo as well. (Do not forget the double quotes!)

    I recommend you to put all your files in a subfolder - at least for the materials.cs it's needed otherwise you'll overwrite the default one.

    Please let me know if it's working for you.

    Cheers!

    --- Post updated ---
    It now works, is it possible to change seats and floormat to work with the skin?

    Hey,

    good to know that it's working now. :)

    Unfortunately not with the skin system like before.
    But there is a 'little' workaround for this kind of things:

    - you have to open the dae, copy the seats and give them a new material (the name of the material within the 3d application must be the same as in the materials.cs file - this is how they are linked)
    - you have to rename the mesh itself as well and create a separate jbeam part for it.

    Cheers!
