Skins Help plz, why do my patterns lose their shininess in-game?

Your texture maps should also be adjusted, it now has the same "shininess" for the whole car instead of an adjusted one per area on the texture. You can't expect the game to know what texture should shine or not without you specifiying it..
What you have to do is adjust the "map" texture too. The body textures are (usually) made up out of Diffuse (the one you made), normal map, "specular" map and detail map. The one you want to change is the "specular" map. The red, green and blue channel of that texture control different aspects of the "shininess" of the car.
Waow, that looks very good. Would that dds file be located in the template? im trying to change a modded car, they only provided a very rough texture to mod the body.
You should unpack the kn5 file to access all textures used for the car
Thankyou, I thought I might need that. I have to buy 3dsim,
I have unpacked textures before during the 30-day trial, please hear me out here,
My experience with 3dsim, when i took the steering wheel texture, colored it, and put inside skin folder. there were no changes. By default, the skin folder never had that texture. It was a kunos car.
This time, its a modded car
Im just worried i might miss a step. When i take that texture out from kn5, it goes in skin folder right?
The content manager also has the option to unpack a kn5 file. And the texture goes into the skin folder and overrides the default texture used in the car. The texture MUST have the same name as the one used as the default one.
Ty, i think i know how to do it. please
I just have one more question, when trying to mod bmw e92 from kunos
If skin folder doesnt contain "CAR_cockpit_D.dds"
i took the CAR_cockpit_D.dds from kn5, changed colors inside
then placed inside skin folder.
no changes were seen. Unless i need a second file,
I thought any cars interior could be changed. is this true?

The _D is the Diffuse map
The _N is the Normal map
You don't want to touch the Normal map.
Could you show me all texture files of the model in a folder?

I'll have a look at the car when I'm home. Pretty sure I'll be able to figure something out. So if you have an hour or 2.. I'll be home by then.
no problem, i appreciate the help greatly.
I just checked it and you should adjust the leather.dds in order to change the interior
It worked! if want the skin, just let me know. I know i only wanted to color the wheel, but i really like the results
I dont want to ask, but how make interior template?
also heres is the skin, its not done yet though
