Hey, i dont know if im late or i missed something in the threads, but i seem to be having the problem of not being able to sand my vehicles as the option is not there. (Car is a Volkswagen T1 van from the motorious zone, which to my understanding is compatible with the mod). Anyone found a solution or something? Thanks

oh, ok

@Raven: It doesn't. "Unskinned" vehicles only -- it only works vanilla-style flat coloured cars that don't use a skin index for the vehicle.
@newMania: No. It is not MP synchronised.
@TootieBoop: That depends on the mod, but almost certainly no -- almost all mods I can think of use skinned shells rather than tints.

@matteokmp: No. Build 41 only.
@Spidr: No. Modded cars are not supported implicitly, and must be explicitly enabled with a Lua script.
@Da Gundam Boy: No. KI5's vehicles are skinned and bypass the vanilla tinting system. If you open up the Workshop folder for a given mod, you can check if it will be at least partway compatible by seeing if the "Shell" textures have transparent parts. If any significant part of the texture is solid, you would have to cut out part of the texture while somehow retaining the object detail. I started an effort way back in 2023 to convert major car mods but the amount of work was absurd. After three hours got the Jeep Wrangler from Autotsar Tuning Atelier about 90% done, I realised that converting other people's mods would be a full time job.

does it work on helicopters?

this isnt supporter for multiplayer is it?

can't get the option to sand vehicle to show up like in the screenshot, but it comes up on my friend's truck... did I do something wrong? Do I sand first then remove the windows? Does it just not work on police cars?

Does this mod work with k15 vehicles?

does this mod also work with modded cars like a Nissan skyline? I'm trying to see if there's anything i could press to start the painting process. I've already washed and removed the windows, now I'm trying to wire brush it but there's nothing popping up.

Is this mod compatible with B42?

Yeah, I don't think the animated one is supported. No option for sanding vehicles, unfortunately. Even though I have all the necessary items.

Says it supports Filibuster's, but I'm guessing it doesn't support Filibuster's beta?

doesn't work. The paint just doesnt stay on. When I leave the proximity of the vehicle i painted, it just returns back to the default color.

Is it compatible with Small Town First Responders Vehicle varriants?

Can't find the option to sand the car... sadly. No pink party bus for me

This mod needs an "Easy Painting" option...

I went through ALL 500 steps of preperation.
Yes i did read the magaztines.
Yes i did Wash the car.
Yes i did uninstall all windows.
Yes i did find safety goggles and dust mask and i am wearing them.
Yes i did get a wire brush and even equipped it.
Yes i did sacrifice my first born child to please the dark lord.
And i even have primer and a spraycan which i should not need yet.

I looked in every menu (radial menu, right click menu, "under the hood menu") and i can't find a way to sand the car!

Doesn't seem to work with KI5 cars for those asking below, just tested it

Also, while we don't need any mechanical skill to clean, sand, prime, and paint our car. We DO need mechanical skill if we want to uninstall(and more importantly, REinstall) the windows, without likely breaking them.

What are the best spots to find the magazine's we need? Vol1 is weirdly rare.

its compatible with kl5 cars?

May I add this in my modpack?

I'm curious, I got a mail van (vanilla one) and I want to paint it black, would it work at all or are unique vehicles, like police, ambulances and my mail van not viable. I intend to paint it black, I just want to know cause if not... well, why bother investing the time in it if not? (it was crashed, so 10% parts but that engine quality was 70... so, pretty good, plus low vehicle spawns alongside a long term goal of repairing it and decorating it, you know?)

@Uzric Rash Thank you very much
@Neztic What are you even talking about. Read the description

can you make the same mod for filibuster plz

I made a multiplayer fix for this mod. Has its quirks but works.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3119830420

I was going to ask what about it doesn't work in MP, but thanks to the sucker below who didn't read, I guess I have my answer, thanks :'D

Also the "extra work" he ranted on about, I see as a big positive. Seems like a well made mod, just sucks no MP.

Does this work on Vehicle mods? Like ki5

I mean ingame of course. Maybe in the mechanics ui?

Also, Cope, Seeth, and Mald, @LordZidahn. The description literally lists ALL the work you have to do. This mod is great, and a crybaby complainer doesn't deserve to enjoy this mod!

How can we tell if a modded vehicle is cleanable(something I'M REALLY grateful for), and repaintable?

@lordzidahn While some people may not like all the extra work this would seem to take, some people may find that level of granularity to build immersion and give a sense of accomplishment. The comments about friends not being able to see the colors and it reverts back to its original color seem to be because:

"Compatibility
Game version: Build 41.60+ (works only in single for now)"

there's even a thread right above this comment box titled:

"Any plan for MP support?"

this mod sucks. its hella inconvenient and just pure extra work. i installed this mod thinking, you get a paint brush, and a paint bucket and paint your car but nooooo. you need like 10 million different things. you need safety goggles, a mask. once you have this you have to remove all windows from the vehicle, THEN you have to sand the vehicle. then you need primer to PRIME the vehicle. then you need paint canisters and a spray paint gun. ONLY THEN can you paint the damn car. on top of this your friends cant see the color you painted the car and sometimes if you leave and rejoin the car reverts back to its orgignal color. dont recommend this mod at all.

does this mod work with the W900 semi truck mod and do I need to start a new save to run this in my game?

is this safe to add at existing saves?

Doesnt work with atleast some filibuster cars (tested the chevalier kobold)

Ahhh Good ol Pimp My Ride

pls fix that fact that when I sand a car it returns to the OG colour

If you Need italian translation call me baby LOL

Like the last two comments said, the paint reverts back to the original when you close and open the game. Me and my friend painted our vanilla cars on our multiplayer server, and after we re-started the game the cars reverted to their original paint. Help plz :( I really like this mod

Can this be done with RVs as well? Just wanna make sure

As I understand it, this mod is not compatible with the "Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer" mod?

Getting same behavior as last comment, also if you hotwire a car after painting, it reverts back to the original color.

Did some proper testing on this and yes sadly enough Multiplayer does not work properly.
I was able to sand, prime and paint a Chevalier D6, but after a little bit the car reverted back to it's original colour.

Is this pimp my reich?

@jtgibson That would be it. Thanks for letting me know
Hoping the author of Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer updates their mod to be compatible with this.

Based on research: The easy way of adding third-party support to a mod is just adding a new transparent skin and disabling all of the mod's other custom skins with a "hard" override of the vehicle .txt. The harder way is to modify all of the skins to include transparent areas, retaining whatever special coloured areas they may have, which still requires an override of the model class in the .txt but *may* be possible without overriding the entire vehicle class. I'm still in the process of trying out the "hard" way so I'll have to report back when I've had a chance to set up a test case and get all the necessary permissions and what-have-yous.

To answer my own questions #1 and #3: Mods cannot be supported unless they use partially transparent textures, and use a .txt file that enables the "vehicle_multiuv" shader in the model (which *should* be possible by defining a separate .txt file that overrides the "model Vehicles_xyz" only, without overriding the "vehicle xyz". This is necessary because the transparent skin shows the underlying vanilla tint, so all mods that use hard-skinned car textures (which is most of them, including Auto Tuning Atelier, most of KI5's mods, 1993 Lore-Friendly Vehicle Pack, etc.) will be inherently incompatible with Paint Your Ride and cannot be made compatible just by flicking a switch.

@Zeven Using Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer? It's functionally incompatible with Paint Your Ride because it overwrites all vehicle skins with fixed textures and disables the vanilla HSV-tint system.

MP?

Odd. Doesn't work :(
Version 41.78.16

Tried on 2 Vanilla Vehicles. Dust Mask, Safety Goggles on. Wire Brush, windows uninstalled. All (2) magazines installed. No prompt to "Sand Vehicle" appears. Mod is loaded the last of all mods. (It overwrites (and has priority over) any file that it may share with another mod) Restarted game, didn't help either.
