SCS Workshop Uploader Issue...

[Capt Fuzzy]

I've used this a few times as I've successfully uploaded several truck skins, but decided to try my hand at trailer skins, and that is where I've run into a problem.

I get this error with the trailer upload:

ERROR [00007] (/universal/material/ui/accessory/example.tobj): Unsupported tobj version. (version: 0)

On a secondary note, this error about changing the size of the mod_image.jpg is becoming tiresome:

ERROR [00001] (/universal/mod_image.jpg): Incorrect icon file dimmensions. Allowed dimmensions are 276x162px (the icon size: 640x360px)

The Uploader requires a 640x360 image, however the uploader will only upload a 276x162 image. I hate having to change the dimensions 2 times just to upload an image.

At any rate, my main issue is the tobj problem, the image thing is something that I may just have to live with...

The uploader uses 640x360 for the preview images, The 276x162 is for your mod image, the one you see for the mod in the mod manager, That's actually not required by the uploader but is nice to see in the mod manager rather than a blank gray square.
"Unsupported tobj version. (version: 0)" means the uploader doesn't like one of the .tobj files. Copy one from another mod that you know works, rename it and use a tobj editor to modify the path in it.

I can't find a tobj that isn't password locked, I can't copy any of them that I've ran across so far...

Any chance that you have one that I could download?

[Trucker_71]

You said you uploaded some truck skins, copy one of those. You must have copies of your skins on your hard drive don't you?

[Capt Fuzzy]

Yes, I finally figured that one out, thanks again Trucker_71!!

If you want texture object files, best to decrypt & unpack the game's 'base.scs', or one of the truck DLC archives and take the .tobj file from there - making sure that you take the file from a texture that is being used for the *same purpose* that you intend.

Reason being is that texture object file headers differ depending on the intended use of their target textures. There are five or so different headers and you can't be sure if a random mod has used the correct file.

Of course you can go ahead and do whatever you want, but SCS have differentiated the texture uses for a reason, it's only reasonable that one should attempt to comply with their convention... even if any given .tobj might appear to work fine - for now.
