View Full Version : HELP: Recolors of New Object Meshes Do Not Show in Game

Hi,

Could you help me out with a little problem here, please?

I spent many good hours making recolors of:

1) 3 recolors of 3 versions of Atavera custom guitars (MTS2)
2) 2 recolors of animated vending machine by pacotacoplayer (MTS2)

Instead of using "Import", I used "Build DXT" since a lot of people recommending its high quality. So I did. Build DXT (Format: DXT1, Sharpen: Smoothen, Filter boxes: None checked) > Build > Commit > Save (with no need to Update All Sizes, this is true, right?)

I recolored the object mesh only (not the recolor the recolors of the object mesh, I've checked this)

But, the recolors of guitars and vending machines I made DID NOT SHOW in the game and yes, I already put my package files in the Download folder.

Atavera's guitar recolors did not show up in the game too BUT the recolors of pacotacoplayer's vending machine (of several creators) showed up in the game along with the mesh object.

Please, please tell me how I can overcome this problem? Why my recolors/ retextures do not show up in my game? I've tried to package these recolors so many times.

In this post, I'm attaching a zip folder that contains:
1) Folder Bass Guitar: 1 recolor of atavera-playablebassguitar-FenderJazz-v4A, its object mesh, .png file

2) Folder Vending Machine: 1 recolor of pacotaco animated SNACK vending machine and its mesh


What is more weird, I made a recolor of another new object mesh using the DXT way, it showed up properly in the game.

I hope you could lend a few minutes to help me to look up the package files to see what I am doing wrong.


Thank you. Your help will be highly appreciated!

Have you confirmed that the guitar is recolourable?

Yes, I have confirmed it that it is indeed recolorable (>.<)y

Your recolour *does* work (at least, in my game...)

I think you missed this important bit of the instructions, from the Atavera Repository thread:
HOW TO APPLY THE RECOLOURS TO THE GUITARS
The recolours aren't available from the catalog, like in normal objects.
You have to buy the guitar and place it on the lot; then, select the "Design Tool"

Which means (see attached picture) clicking the button in the red circle and then clickin on the guitar (not on the amplifier). The guitar must already be on the lot.
The recolours only appear, and will be applied, after clicking on the guitar: you will NOT see them in the catalog while buying the guitar.

OMG! That was the bass recolor I made! (>.<)y
I will try it in my game now... I'll let you know how it goes on this thread!

By the way, Numenor, did you find out what was wrong with the vending machine though?

Thank you for helping me out!

Hi Numenor... Good news... I could find the guitar recolors (>.<)y

However, the vending machines recolors still did not appear in game
