Repainting with SCS take's alot more work to get the final product than it does repainting aircrafts. But thank you for taking the time to show how this can be done. It helped me out. Now if I can figure out a way of getting this to work with TruckersMP that's the hard work.
Oh my gosh, i just have to thank you so much. You have the best tutorial. Clear explanation, easy visual to follow, straight and to the point. I made my first mod, being a skin for the 40ft grain hopper. Did a Zatarain's livery on it, and im so proud with how it came out. Shared your link in the ATS facebook community. You earned a new sub!
I was having issues but your video made this super easy and also helped me figure out where I went wrong trying to understand where the DAF Euro 6 option was. Thank you so much, you've been a great help! I'd love to see more simplified videos from you as I am autistic and struggle to follow some others =/
Thanks for the comment. I don't want to say yes or no definitely because I haven't looked into making those sort of mods, or at least I haven't yet. I think it might be a different program.
Excellent tutorial for people to learn how to skin mate,but just a quick one you dont need to save your files as a dds always save them as a png modstudio will save them as a dds for you.
@garrett69 ok depending on what truck you've used, what game version you've made it for, and what level you've told the mod to unlock at could all be reasons it's not appearing.
@The_gaming_Channel145 Like i have said to others who have had probs, if you've followed the steps in the vid you wont have a prob, basically double check everything and go over the steps again.
hello mate could you please help i wanted to make a custom sun visor skin it worked for some reason the skin for the visor is also on the cabin even tho i only edited the sun visor template any ideas ?? cheers?
This is so confusing, I've made my mod for "Scania S 8x4" and all works great until I upload another mod "Scania S" the "Scania S 8x4" then uses the "Scania S" skin and the skin for the "Scania S Truck" vanishes. I've chosen only cabs for the relevant skins in the mods studio 2. Any help appreciated.
@sif1921 No idea what's going on there, remember this is a tutorial for skinning and how to put a skin in the game, not any other kind of mods or modding.
@callysweatgamer9732 Ok Are you using the right templates?, do you have the right xml file for the trailer from the mod studio discord?. In this tutorial i explained every step that i took and still take for every truck and trailer skin i make and never have any issues.
@@Thebigdog_1984 thanks for reacting so fast, I believe I used the right templates and the right trailer. I did add a photo of google on the trailer and made it little, could this be the problem?
As far as I know it'll be a separate template, as for putting them in the game I am not too sure as I haven't tried to do an accessories skin just yet.
Make a separate plain color or whatever texture you want for accessories. When selecting type of paint job in MS2, go with advanced truck skin. And assign needed accessories to what plain texture.
everytime i finish doing exactly whats in the video, i go into my game and try to use the mod and it says incompatible with game version cannot activate. i tried it with all versions and all the same, if i could get some help id appreciate it!!
Follow this path: Mods studio 2 Mod manifest Basic scroll to the bottom and where it says "Compatible versions" leave that blank. i use the exact method i used in this video and it works every time.
You need the skin template for whatever Mod truck you've got then go onto the Mod Studio discord to see if they've got the files needed for that truck.
@HluleloMokase make sure all the boxes where you enter text are filled. I'm going to say to you what I've said to everyone else: The directions i give are the exact ones i use for my own skins, and i have never had one fail.
@Thebigdog_1984 I think is my app because I downloaded the installer not the zip file of MS2 again on the export tab mine is showing the FILE and STEAM WORKSHOP options to choose
dont no if you can help but everytime i try to export i get the export failed this is the first two thing i see System.UnauthorizedAccessException Message : Access to the path 'mod_description.txt' is denied.
if i download the templetes (and i am a real rookie). i see these files..'front mirror paint'...'rear fender paint' and a lot more...the video does not explain why these files are not used ? So another tutorial not really for me.
@@Thebigdog_1984 i tried each step 2 times and again failure, the mod in the game does not show that there is a problem, but it still does not show the color

Hello man, you helped me A LOT! Your tutorial is easy and simple. Thank you! Greetings from Brazil!
That's great!!
Thanks for commenting and I hope you have fun making liveries

@user-wm8jt6yj6d Thanks for the kind words, I'll try and get some more tutorials done
Am I the only one who laughed his socks off with the BLAH BLAH BLAH part? 😂😂
Thanks a million for this tut mate! Keep up the great work!
Imagine a truck with "blah blah blah" on the feont and sides in real life 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I finally know how this works out, thanks for the tutorial
Great tutorial 🤝 quick question 🙋🏽♂️, is this mod studio 2 also the same tool for modding graphics and visual effects and Textures?
Thanks for the comment.

Perfect video, the magic :)
Great tutorial
One question,there is text on the mirrors same as yours albeit slight is there a reason for it
Awesome for a dinosaur like me. Cheers. One question though - the mod shows up in Mod Manager and can be activated but I don't see it in game :s
@garrett69 ok depending on what truck you've used, what game version you've made it for, and what level you've told the mod to unlock at could all be reasons it's not appearing.
@@Thebigdog_1984 Thanks. I tried using png formats instead of ddw and that worked. Now I'm struggling to make accessories (mirrors etc)
Brilliant tutorial I was able to follow along and make a few skins myself will you be doing a tutorial on steam workshop uploader🎉
Thanks for the comment!
To be honest i have never tried to upload anything to the steam workshop so it'd be like the blind leading the blind
@@Thebigdog_1984 lol 😂 OK cheers anyway
Exellent work man that was lookng for !!!
Doesn’t seem to be working for me. I wonder if it has to do with the templates being older than the new Volvo trucks??
@michaeldr6070 you've asked and answered your own question there, normally the problem is with the templates.
@ guess I’ll have to try it on the FH3 then
the logos are not on the place that i put them
I have another question, what is the right canvas size for trailers? You never mentioned that sadly. Keep on making the great content.
@@callysweatgamer9732 i did mention it.
@@Thebigdog_1984 You didn't btw. You said you would but you never did.
Hi I’ve done all the steps in the video but for some reason it dosnt show up in mods even though I put it in mods folder ?
@The_gaming_Channel145 Like i have said to others who have had probs, if you've followed the steps in the vid you wont have a prob, basically double check everything and go over the steps again.
@ thanks got it working after
@ I subbed bro keep up the great work

When I export it say error file not found please help
Great video ✌️ but i have a problem i cant find an anser to. I want to make a skin for my RJL scania (mod) do you have any idea how to do that?
exact same method, just need to use the RJL Scania Template.
If somone sends you a picture of stickers how do you get them in the paint net
@robinnilsson6902 when viewing the image of the sticker in your folder, right click and select "open with..." then choose paint dot net
This is so confusing, I've made my mod for "Scania S 8x4" and all works great until I upload another mod "Scania S" the "Scania S 8x4" then uses the "Scania S" skin and the skin for the "Scania S Truck" vanishes.

I tried this with trailers but it doesn't seem to work...
@callysweatgamer9732 Ok
Are you using the right templates?, do you have the right xml file for the trailer from the mod studio discord?.
In this tutorial i explained every step that i took and still take for every truck and trailer skin i make and never have any issues.
@@Thebigdog_1984 thanks for reacting so fast, I believe I used the right templates and the right trailer. I did add a photo of google on the trailer and made it little, could this be the problem?
Can i ask how you do accessories for trucks? Cuz my images are on different parts of the truck where i don't want them, like on the mirror etc
As far as I know it'll be a separate template, as for putting them in the game I am not too sure as I haven't tried to do an accessories skin just yet.
Make a separate plain color or whatever texture you want for accessories. When selecting type of paint job in MS2, go with advanced truck skin. And assign needed accessories to what plain texture.
thank you boss man ! my boyfriend will be happy with the skins i'll be making him ahah (i don't play this game )
everytime i finish doing exactly whats in the video, i go into my game and try to use the mod and it says incompatible with game version cannot activate. i tried it with all versions and all the same, if i could get some help id appreciate it!!
Follow this path:
Mods studio 2
Mod manifest
Basic
scroll to the bottom and where it says "Compatible versions" leave that blank.
i use the exact method i used in this video and it works every time.
the 3d preview?
you're going to need to give more context, what do you mean?
I didn't mention anything about the 3d preview i have never needed to use it
@Thebigdog_1984 nevermind i managed to load the 3d model in blender and texture it there. Thanks a lot anyways for your videos and suggestions!
Hey how to make skin for mod truck?,because I don't see mod truck option in mod studio 2
You need the skin template for whatever Mod truck you've got then go onto the Mod Studio discord to see if they've got the files needed for that truck.
@@Thebigdog_1984 thanks!
What if you have a modded trailer?
Then you need the template and xml file (for mod studio 2) for the trailer. Same process applies
Do i need Mod studio to make reefers paintable?
Yes, you need Mod's Studio for any skin, Using my skin method.
When I export it says FAILED
@HluleloMokase make sure all the boxes where you enter text are filled.
I'm going to say to you what I've said to everyone else:
The directions i give are the exact ones i use for my own skins, and i have never had one fail.
@Thebigdog_1984 I think is my app because I downloaded the installer not the zip file of MS2 again on the export tab mine is showing the FILE and STEAM WORKSHOP options to choose
dont no if you can help but everytime i try to export i get the export failed this is the first two thing i see System.UnauthorizedAccessException
Message : Access to the path 'mod_description.txt' is denied.
if i download the templetes (and i am a real rookie). i see these files..'front mirror paint'...'rear fender paint' and a lot more...the video does not explain why these files are not used ? So another tutorial not really for me.
Basically on the bit where you select what you are making, there's an option for truck / trailer accessories, that's what those fall under
how can i upload skins for mod trucks like rjl?
@palikka_mies the same process, you need the skin template to make the skin and the xml file for Mods Studio 2
@@Thebigdog_1984 yeah i find the tempale for rjl but i didn’t find rjl on mod studio 2 there is only basegame trucks
Can I use them on tmp after making it ?
My honest answer is i dont know because i dont go on tmp. The best way to find it is to give it a go and see if the skin works.
no working
@@ΝίκοςΓαλλιάς well it worked for me yesterday and again today. The problem is not with the tutorial.
@@Thebigdog_1984 i tried each step 2 times and again failure, the mod in the game does not show that there is a problem, but it still does not show the color
