    Since 2025 I have been editing the level Forest Roads for personal use. Everything was normal until I updated the game to 0.39, when the textures of the trees broke. Is there a way I can add back the textures to the trees, or I can import trees from other levels to replace them?

    I have the same problem with my map. All the trees ".png" now appear ".png.link" I have deleted the ".link" and the game recognizes the files but no loading. The wolrd editor said "Import failed"
    I see the files of trees in the official Beamng's maps and they are diferent in 0.39
    I'm looking for the solution.

    What trees did you use to begin with? If you used stock trees just reimport them from that map again and should fix the issues

    I used the trees that are already included in the mod, and I think most of them come from the official BeamNG.drive maps.

    also have the same issue on a custom map i've been buildling. I just deleted all of the imported assets from the vanilla maps, reimported them (using the beamng map cleanup tool), and they are still broken. if you look at your main.materials for those trees, the file formatting used to say yourlevel/levels/foldername/art/shapes/trees or something like that. After the .39 they should be /assets/materials/trees/(tree type). I've manually (in world editor) updated textures to the new /assets/ location and they'll work, but when you fly away from them the go back to orange again, so I'm not sure how you can change the low res version. This update absolutely bombed about 300 hours of map building and I can't seem to find a solution anywhere beside "oH yOu JuSt nEeD tO rEmAp tHe TeXtUreS" === just thought I'd throw out what I've tried and see if we can find a fix for this.

    I fixed it!
    Copy the content of the trees folder (at game folder 0.39) which you copied for your map in the past
    Paste in the trees folder of your map, expample:

    Copy the content: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\levels\italy\levels\italy\art\shapes\trees\trees_italy

    Paste in you map folder: levels/Mymap/art/shapes/trees/trees_italy

    Well, that was a good start! For some reason the trees are still orange/yellow as I get further away...

    I appreciate your help! Now my map is no longer full of yellow. Sorry for the late reply, though.
