Thx for your quick answer.

I'm going to take your video tutorial, because in my last try, the right turn signal of the truck works without lighting the light box, but the hazard lights and the left turn signal light it. I think indeed that it is linked to the link that you attached to me.
I will start again and keep you informed :)

oh wait you mean// you edit the textures and after that with new textures you have that issues?
it wil help you to get the lamp system in ETS
https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Materials/Lamp_system

you can have white and yellow light
but it have some limitation for that
in general white is more easy to be use lool

ofc you can make other light with color or texture but it is too long to be explain lol

tanks for your answer,

i did what you told me, i have 2 textures, but my principal problem is that the lightbox flash in same time that turn signals, otherwise everything works.
and last question, How can we change the texture so that it lights up in a color other than white?

(unsubscribe and subscribe again, that will force steam to update the mod)

to change the colors you need to change the textures
(just read description section with name Modding section, it have and short vid )
for example:
you need to make 2 textures locate in folders below
vehicle\truck\upgrade\roofgrill\renault_t\textures\
sasq_light_box_yellow.dds - normal texture
sasq_light_box_yellow_m.dds - light mask

The custom light box doesn't show up, not edited nor the original empty light box. Anyone can help?

Does it work at 1.41?

@Miss_Cherry_Sg

sry ... not planning to make it for other trucks
Miss_Cherry_Sg 15 Apr, 2021 @ 12:44pm 
would this be moddable to other trucks? bin wanting a custom lightbox for ages on my daf xf105. bin having slight difficulties with the vid tutorial also as im very new to skinning and things keep going a little backward, most i got was the custom box to go pink, and that was by accident lol

@Chris

P.S
in alpha channel light effect is when you turn on low light
main texture is when you do a positional light

just that info will help you to control more easy where you wish to be more light effect

@Chris

glad i can help you

if you use only the blue color it is more "safe" to avoid flashing part :)

ofc it is more easy to see that in vid but
if you are advance with Gimp/Adobe
and you are familiar - how to paint directly the Alpha channel
you can control the deepnes of the light effect
but that go too advance talking lol

for best result dont be scary to test till you get best result for you

@SASq I had already watched the video since it's linked in the description. I gave it another two attempts and now it works almost perfectly. There's a small residue (outlines of the horse) still flashing amber - and I believe it is due to color differences on the edges. Just a matter of redoing the paint cleanly now.

Thank you so much for your helpful pointers! :)

@Chris
oh i see :)

you can check this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X-Sss-tvLk

just keep only Alpha channel and clear the main texture channel
that must fix your issue with blinkers ... if i remmber well lol

more info you can find here

@SASq Thanks for your quick reply! It is indeed the custom one, see here: https://i.imgur.com/9HPYA8t.mp4

Granted: I may have missed something when I painted it. Haven't really dug deep into the topic.
SASq  [author] 8 Sep, 2020 @ 3:17am 
@Chris
hmmm when i make the light mask file
i dont notice such problem ... but it is posible :)

can you make the video with the problem?

P.S if you mean custom version
there the light mask is not set and it is posible to act weird :)

i check now the both (red and yellow) version now and for me all look OK

Hey @SASq - thanks a bunch for this light box! However, there's one small issue: It also acts as a left indicator. :D
Mr_Toka 3 Sep, 2020 @ 11:22am 
@SASq
ah ok.... =)
I thought this is the path to the templates for the light box´ :P
SASq  [author] 3 Sep, 2020 @ 11:19am 
@Mr_Toka

it is not link ... it is directory path on your PC
just find on your PC that path


it can be C, D or other disk label you have:
C:/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/227300/2118917268/universal.zip/vehicle/truck/upgrade/roofgrill/renault_t/textures/
SASq  [author] 3 Sep, 2020 @ 11:04am 
@Mr_Toka

what link you mean?
Mr_Toka 3 Sep, 2020 @ 10:29am 
Hey guy....the link for the .dds is not functionallity...have you a other site for download?
Bigmaison67[FR] 9 Aug, 2020 @ 4:16am 
@SASq Okay then, no problem ;) thanks for the answer :cozyspaceengineersc:
SASq  [author] 8 Aug, 2020 @ 5:09pm 
@Bigmaison67[FR]

it is make for Renault T ...
i dont think it will match to any of the other truck brands
without need of editing the 3d model

you need to use Blender to make any 3d object you need in game
Bigmaison67[FR] 8 Aug, 2020 @ 3:46pm 
Thanks for your mod! Its great Now I have my own lightbox :steamhappy:
Can I do the same thing for others trucks brand? And how?
SASq  [author] 6 Jun, 2020 @ 10:17am
