I used Gimp.

open your item.xml and make sure the
is the same name as the base gradient in your base_gradients file

I will try Rex, thanks a lot I really appreciate this. I hope I can do this.

This is what I see:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

-<ugcitem>

<param value="screenshot5.png" key="screenshot"/>


-<node name="data">

<param value="bm_wskn_amcar_general_overkill" key="name_id"/>

<param value="true" key="reserve_quality"/>

<param value="CAS1pattern.tga" key="pattern_gradient_name"/>

<param value="Vector3(-0.728356, -0.852373, 0)" key="pattern_pos"/>

<param value="CAS2.tga" key="pattern_name"/>

<param value="CAS5.tga" key="base_gradient_name"/>

<param value="amcar" key="weapon_id"/>

<param value="Vector3(0, 0, 0.265442)" key="pattern_tweak"/>

<param value="n_amcar_general_overkill" key="id"/>

</node>

<param value="2016273094038" key="timestamp"/>

<param value="General Overkill" key="name"/>

</ugcitem>

I get errors on all names so on CAS1, CAS1pattern, CAS2, CAS5.

I keep on getting errors. No idea what I do wrong. I can not publish.

Im not entirely sure what's wrong so I sent this topic to AJ and he may know more than me hopefully :/

I hope AJ can help us out Rex, this is my first workshop skin and learned myself all just for fun, I never thought I could do, make or create a skin and learning Gimp aswell.

Rex first of all many thanks for the help, tips and advice I really appreciate it a lot.

Maybe I may not publish a skin for some reason, something keeps me from Publishing it.

I must admit, this one has me stumped... I shall be forwarding this on to the QA for bug testing, If you can offer as much information, that'd be greatly appreciated

AJ, I can publish my skins now. The reason why I could not upload my first skin I ever made the AMCAR "General Overkill" was that I renamed the original names into my own one and this was the reason why I got the can not copy etc error code.

I then opened up my pattern and skin files and exported them as the original names but added just some characters so I knew which file what was and I did not mixed all up. Then made the same skin again and publishing it was easy peasy.

After making some skins and clicking on save my Payday 2 crashed and when I fired my Payday up I got a black loading screen and crashed, I was in the Payday 2 chat and they said remove the workshop folder out of your Payday 2 folder and copied it to my desktop, and gues what? Payday 2 was running again like a dream.

I had these crashes every single time but I now know how to fix it, sometimes it is not great to do all over again because the game crashed while editing or making a skin but then I just do the same again until I can publish it without problems. I sometimes had to do things 3 times just to be able to make screenshots out of it.

Sorry for my wall of text AJ and I hope you can understand what I wrote down, I am always willing to help out or give as much info as I can.
