WIP Need help making skin

How do I make a skin for the Ibishu 200BX? and the Ibishu Pessima

 

Wiki

 

You open the uv-map in paint.net/gimp/whatever and select the black 'background', copy this in a new file so the bodyparts are white/transparent. Then you draw a cool and good skin on those white spots.
you save it as a DDS file (see wiki indeed), make a jbeam for it.
for instance:

Code:

  "pessima_skin_procar_c": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"Blijo",
        "name":"Procar Decals 3",
        "value":1300,
    },
    "slotType" : "paint_design",
    "skinName" : "procar_c",
  },

then you make a matching materials file for it, that will look like this:

Code:

singleton Material("pessima.skin.procar_c")
{
    mapTo = "pessima.skin.procar_c";
    overlayMap[2] = "vehicles/procar/procar_c.dds";
    diffuseMap[2] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_c_alt.dds";
    specularMap[2] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_s_alt.dds";
    normalMap[2] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_n_alt.dds";
    diffuseMap[1] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_d_alt.dds";
    specularMap[1] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_s_alt.dds";
    normalMap[1] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_n_alt.dds";
    diffuseMap[0] = "vehicles/common/null.dds";
    specularMap[0] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_s_alt.dds";
    normalMap[0] = "vehicles/pessima/pessima_n_alt.dds";
    specularPower[0] = "128";
    pixelSpecular[0] = "1";
    specularPower[1] = "32";
    pixelSpecular[1] = "1";
    specularPower[2] = "128";
    pixelSpecular[2] = "1";
    diffuseColor[0] = "1 1 1 1";
    diffuseColor[1] = "1 1 1 1";
    diffuseColor[2] = "1 1 1 1";
    useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
    useAnisotropic[1] = "1";
    useAnisotropic[2] = "1";
    castShadows = "1";
    translucent = "1";
    translucentBlendOp = "None";
    alphaTest = "0";
    alphaRef = "0";
    dynamicCubemap = true;
    instanceDiffuse[2] = true;
    materialTag0 = "beamng"; materialTag1 = "vehicle";
};

you put this in a folder (name)/vehicles/(vehicle of choice)/(other name) and zip it so you have name.zip with the folders vehicles/(vehicle of choice)/(other name) in it.
and you put that zip in your mods folder

 

I understood nothing from the wiki and all Id like a tutorial video of this.
