Pink texture issue

[Brouckaert Transport]

Hi everyone, I have a problem on a standalone truck which I've beene editing.
I used Paint.net to edit some files but it turns out pink ingame.
Do I need to save the file in a different way?

Hopefully someone can help. thx

Really need more info about what exactly you did,..

Pink textures can mean several things, for example an error in the tobj file (or a missing tobj), a wrong image size (image sides need to be power of 2)

If you have the console enabled open it when you see the problem, there should be one or more red lines that should explain your problem.

The game_log says that i-'Can't find .... file, file in read mode only' I gues it's an error with the tobj file

of course i don't know what you've done so far, but a general thing you can do is to check all folder and file names,...
...If you copied stuff from other paint (mods, or SCS) jobs it's possible you overlooked a file/foldername, sometimes it's a simple typo,...

When i make paint jobs i generaly make sure to keep all important names for files and folders the same, but of course unique from other mods.

Thx I'll have a look at the names of the files

If all else fails i don't mind having a look at it.
from a distance it's just guessing.

That would be great. I can send you the link for the mod if you want, that way you can take a proper look at it

just post a link here, like to Google drive or something

This is the mod (it also has the sound mod in it) the dds file 'cab_gauchecouleur_de_surface' is the file which I edited

Sorry, but this seems beyond my knowledge of modding, i can see the trailer, but no truck,
i can find the file you've edited, but ,... well that's it, i've never seen paint jobs done that way in a mod, or in SCS game files.
Maybe someone else can help you out, atm idk what to tell you.
If i could see the truck in game i could probably figure it out, but as it stands i'm at a loss here :-)

Thank you for taking a look at it, I'll try to figure it out don't worry. If I get stuck again I'll send a picture of the truck with the pink error

I found out that when I save an edited image, it automatically compresses it. I think this is the problem. Anyone who knows how to prevent compression in Paint or Gimp?

Which file exactly are you trying to edit? Don't know where to look yet in your mod.

I edited the 'cab_gauchecouleur_de_surface' file. it's a dds file. path: vehicle/truck/scaniapbkok_143m/textures/
