Thank you, Chacal

Hi ET44C4, wow! Many thanks for the tutorial which I'll watch later tonight with great interest and will let you know the result. May I have your mail address for sending you the folder of my repaint?

[jtousign]

I just watched your tuto and It seems to be a good one, I will try it later as I said. I was using RW_Tools only and I just installed RSBin_Tool which will be very useful for sure! Thanks!!!

Hi ET44C4! You should have received my repaint in a zip folder via WeTransfer. Concerning the numbering I would like to keep the auto-numbering method and just utilize the numbers in the numberboards.

Alright, sounds great. Thanks for sending it over. I'll look at it when I get a chance to figure out what needs to be done about the CabView. I'll also work on getting the auto-numbering tutorial together for you.

Thanks a lot ET44C4 for your precious help! You know, I begin to find repainting a true passion and I have other liveries in mind for the future

I was missing another software DXTBmp which I installed. Now the alpha chanel that appears in the high right corner is empty. I exported the alpha chanel but the image is white. Does It mean there is no alpha chanel in the DDS image??? If It's the case I'm in a mess!

So, generally most default textures (for example, the BN GP38-2's cab texture), will have the alpha layer. Your repaint's .dds file will not have the alpha layer in it until you import the image (like I showed in the video) and then save. Every time you edit your .dds texture (like in photoshop), it will return blank and you will have to import the alpha layer for that texture back in to save.

Now, it depends on what texture you are talking about, because like I said before, not all textures have alpha layers. Another thing I would like to add is that you must open end export your textures with the RSBinTool first so you can get the alpha layers in the .dds file (that is, if the texture even has an alpha layer). If you simply open the texture file with DXTBmp, it will not show the alpha layer. The steps in my tutorial showed the right way to go about doing this.

Hi ET44C4, I wanted to watch your video again but It is blocked by WMG, to bad!

[ET44C4]

WMG?

[ET44C4]

Oh, never mind, sorry. It's a problem on my end apparently. I'll try and get it re uploaded.

Thanks for the new link, however the tutorial in the file library is still blocked off by the way

I'll let Chacal know, thanks.

This tutorial is to demonstrate how to make the auto-numbering invisible on the side of your repaint while keeping the auto-numbering inside the numberboards. Often the placement of the auto-numbering will contradict the placement of the road numbers on your repaint. How do you remove them? What if you want to keep the numbers in the numberboards? Watch the tutorial to find out....

jtousign, see if this helps you out concerning the auto-numbering.
