Solved Moonhawks skins, issue with front fascia

Currently working on a skin pack that spans across multiple vehicles but right now I'm trying to work on the Moonhawk. I'm currently running into an issue where the front end of the skin will not appear unless the "1976-1978 Front Fascia" part is selected:


What do I need to do in order for the front end to work properly on both parts?
[Note: I am using the Skin Helper mod for the materials.json and moonhawk.jbeam files.]

 

Thank you for the advice! It took a while but I finally got it to work properly! :>

If anyone else stumbles across this thread and has the same issue as me, here's the fix for it
If you're using the Skin Helper mod, go to the moonhawk folder and open the 'materials.json' file with your preferred text/code editor, then insert the following code to the file:

Then replace "SKINNAME" with your skin's filename as you normally would!
(i would recommend opening the image in a new tab so you can see it much larger)

 

Setting this thread to unsolved again because there's a slight issue that I'm not quite sure how to tackle.

The "No Texture" decal can faintly be seen on the front of the two 1973-75 Front Fascia options, and it can only be seen when light is reflecting off it.
I have a feeling something needs to be changed in the materials.jbeam file, but I don't know what and I don't even know how to begin troubleshooting this...

 

it's going to be in the json, i want to say it's gonna be the metallic map. no texture means that the directory and filename given can't be found.

 

Okay, I found the source of the issue, it's the clear coat map, since "moonhawk_nosecone_alt_cc" doesn't exist in the game's files. However, I don't know what to change it to. I tried changing it to "moonhawk_main_cc" for the nosecone_alt material and while it does make the "No Texture" thing go away, it adds a bunch of lines in its place that are arguably more noticeable than the "No Texture" thing. How can I properly fix this?

 

the default mapping for the alt nosecone is

Code:

        "clearCoatMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_c.data.png",

give that a try

here's the whole material section so you can more easily reference other parts of it if need be

Code:

  "moonhawk_nosecone_alt.skin.specialstripesalt" : {
    "name" : "moonhawk_nosecone_alt.skin.specialstripesalt",
    "mapTo" : "moonhawk_nosecone_alt.skin.specialstripesalt",
    "class" : "Material",
    "Stages": [
      {
        "ambientOcclusionMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_ao.data.png",
        "baseColorMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_b.color.png",
        "metallicMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_m.data.png",
        "metallicFactor": 1,
        "roughnessFactor": 1,
        "normalMap": "vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_n.dds",
        "roughnessMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_r.data.png",
        "useAnisotropic": true
      },
      {
        "ambientOcclusionMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_ao.data.png",
        "useAnisotropic": true,
        "colorPaletteMapUseUV": 1,
        "instanceDiffuse": true,
        "clearCoatFactor": 1,
        "clearCoatRoughnessFactor":1,
        "metallicFactor": 1,
        "clearCoatMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_c.data.png",
        "normalMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_n.dds",
        "opacityMap": "/vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_nosecone_alt_c.data.png",
        "colorPaletteMap": "vehicles/moonhawk/moonhawk_skin_specialstripes_uv1.dds"
      },
      {},
      {}
    ],
    "activeLayers": 2,
    "dynamicCubemap": true,
    "materialTag0": "beamng",
    "materialTag1": "vehicle",
    "order_simset": 0,
    "version": 1.5
  },

 

Perfect! That suggestion fixed it! Thank you :>
