Vehicle Mods on Mac only black color

[Nicola P.]

I have a problem with ETS 2 for Mac: No matter which vehicle mods I install, the default colour of the body is always black. This cannot be adjusted either. Some body parts are also available for purchase but not visible. What could be the reason for this? I have tested several mods on different, compatible game versions.

It can be that these mods are for DX11 and not for OpenGL as Apple doesn't support DirectX. Ask the mod author if that is the case.

Lots of mod authors are lazy and don't save their textures in the proper formats and thus they break in OpenGL.

Maybe it's not lazyness, but just a lack of knowledge, I've searched quite a bit about how to make sure my paint jobs will work on a Mac, even asked in the SCS forum (before I was a jerk there) because I once made a paint job for someone using a Mac (which he told me after I made the paint job),... anyhoo, I couldn't find (and didn't get) an answer, so I gave up.

Maybe some, if not most modders don't even realize their textures don't work with other ways than the machine they are testing it on, I for one can only test on a windows 10 PC, but have never heard anyone complain that my paint jobs don't work (other than the one I mentioned), I just don't know what settings to use for other systems, though a while ago someone did leave a comment on one of my mods saying he/she was surprised the textures showed the right way in OpenGL,...
