When you are publishing, there's a folder icon, that's where the steam preview image is, you can change it to whatever, I recommend using 512x512 as that's the largest steam will resize it to.

After typing that I realized it's a pack, which requires opening the folder, so not sure how it's possible to miss it...

The simple answer is: By uploading a square image.

Judging by Pack 1, he already knows how to replace the default PreviewImage  (or any other default image)

Thank you both. I guess it was the 512 x 512 that I needed to know.

Problem. I have uploaded the housing pack now to Steam. When I uploaded the file I included five lot files and one prop file (a garden wall) all in the same folder. The only problem is that the garden wall does not show on the lot when I plop it with Rico?. The content manager shows that I am subscribed to all six files and they are enabled. Is this a problem with Rico.? I wanted to plop them to take extra screen shots. Is this a problem with Rico? Will subscribers see the prop ok?

The ID changes when you upload. You need to subscribe to the pack, remove all the files from your local folder and place the fence again, then save, then update. The game is looking for the local version of the fence and doesn't recognize it now it has a workshop ID.

Ok small problem on my latest project. 

I am trying to use mod tools with the rotor shader to produce some glass. I have had this working before but don't know what I am doing wrong now and I'm pulling my hair out!

 

When I try to run the script in mod tools I get this error:-

 

 

My object is names is "Mesh" and the diffuse texture is named "Mesh_d" . I have re-installed mod tools but no joy. 

Any Ideas? It must be something simple?

Work so far:-

Wow, that's a pretty building! Can't help you, though... 

[Darf 1,439]

Could you post the script you are using?

[mntoes 271]

Sure this is the one.

//building rotors (cube)
var shader = Shader.Find("Custom/Vehicles/Vehicle/Rotors");
var asset = ToolsModifierControl.toolController.m_editPrefabInfo as BuildingInfo;
if(asset.m_material != null) asset.m_material.shader = shader;
if(asset.m_lodMaterial != null) asset.m_lodMaterial.shader = shader;
var w = new Color(255f / 255, 255f / 255, 255f / 255, 1f);
asset.m_material.SetColor("_ColorV0", w);
asset.m_material.SetColor("_ColorV1", w);
asset.m_material.SetColor("_ColorV2", w);
asset.m_material.SetColor("_ColorV3", w);
 

It has worked fo me before?

Thanks

You are using the building script on a prop.

var shader = Shader.Find("Custom/Vehicles/Vehicle/Rotors");

var asset = ToolsModifierControl.toolController.m_editPrefabInfo as PropInfo;

if(asset.m_material != null) asset.m_material.shader = shader;

 

Is for props.

[mntoes 271]

Ah thank you. New it had to be something simple.

Been a while since I last posted so I thought I would show you my current work coming soon.

The Beresford Hotel Glasgow. (an Art Deco Classic)

What I would really like to do is create my own custom made animated flag to sit on top of the building. As suggested by Bad Peanut I have asked Ronyx  if  he could attach a sample mesh and textures to his excellent web site but I guess he has gone Awol. I think that I need to learn vertex painting in order to be able to do this.  Other than this I have no clue how to go about it. Anyone able to post some files or point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi.

That one looks great !

Regarding vertex painting: That might sound like a difficult task but it isn't.

If you're using blender then this might help you: 

I did post a youtube video there, which explains the vertex painting process in blender.

[mntoes 271]

Thanks i'll study that video. I guess it's just a case of me not being lazy. Lol

[mntoes 271]

Ok I'm going to ask a question I should have asked a long time ago. how do I prevent the error "asset name" has no base or Lod has no base?. Does the game create the bases for me or do I have to make them as I have done for some of my assets? If the game creates them what do I have to do to make sure it will?
