aaaMArtin Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Suggestion Name: Customizable pilot skin Suggestion Description: Make it possible to change the colors of the pilot skin. Currently we have a red and white color combination, which looks fine, but there is no norm for exactly how it should look in the real world. So my suggestion is to make the skin customizable, so that you can have different color combinations for your pilot car. For instance orange and black, black and yellow... you get the idea. It would pretty much work the same way as paint jobs for trucks, where you can choose your own colors. Any example images: Why should it be added?: It seems like a simple thing to do (not sure tho) and would make it possible to match trucks and cars for roleplay purposes, or just to make it possible for the players to have a color combination they find more fitting than the red&white combo. Let me hear your thoughts Btw, I wasn't 100% sure where to put this suggestion as it relates to both ATS and ETS. Also, I did search through the forums, but I couldn't find a suggestion quite like this. However, there are many topics about the cars currently, so correct me if I'm wrong!

Forerunner Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 At the moment, you can use save editing to have the high power DLC skin on the car, which is then customisable. However I agree it would be good but there are more urgent things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaMArtin Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yes, I am aware of that, but that is, as you're saying, save editing, which many people won't bother with or don't know how to do. I was hoping to make it more "legit" by having it as a standard option when customizing your car. That way you would also keep the writing which says "Pilot".

SmoothPie Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I like the idea. Maybe just add, that on current pilot skin, we can just change colours (instead of white and red, some others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaMArtin Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yes, that was what I was thinking. You would get the color palette (or what it's called) like you would for the different paintjobs that you get on the trucks. So you could have any color combination you want.

HumaneWolf Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Enabling the user to editing the color is possible, and so is adding some of the truck paint jobs to the paint job list for the car in the service station, so people don't need to do save game editing to use those. Completely custom skins, however, won't happen as it would require us to distribute the skins with every download of the client, and it would be a hazzle to keep updated and distribute. 3 HumaneWolf - Website - Twitter - GitHub Ex-Developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaMArtin Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 That would be great! Also, I never wanted for you to add custom skins, as I truly understand the hazzle. But if you decide to enable us to change the colors to the pilot skin (and also add some of the truck paint jobs, if that's something people want), then my wishes would have been granted!

Killua // Ireland ^_^ Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 That would be great It would also be great to add some of the truck paint jobs for the cars I'd love to have one of my cars painted similar to this (these are 2 of my trucks): (plan on getting this truck at some point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just nothing paid, aka the high powered dlc, which some want as it kinda mimics one of the pics above... Idk what happens if one tries to load a skin forcefully in game... Maybe it'll crash? If it doesn't show up or cause issues in shop of the user doesn't own it than sure. I agree adding truck skins to the list for cars as save editing the car requires 99.99% of the users doing it to have the mp client open, likely connected to the server... Edit: now I'm going to try my steam punk dlc on the car to see what it looks like lol Edited May 12, 2016 by Darth Wazawai Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaMArtin Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Well, it shouldn't be a problem if they allow skins from high power dlc either, as it would work the same way it is now. If you haven't bought it, you will simply see a placeholder color or something along those lines. I use the dlc skins in mp often, and I believe they are all supported. (Maybe not the last ones). I'm sure the developers would have thought of it either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empirekicking Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I like the idea of this, and I was going to post about it an seen you bet me to it. Cars are good to drive and we all need to have more options with skins and whatnot. Have more skins to pick from like AA or RAC roadside recovering. Would be cool to have an yellow taxi If I helped you out in anyway can u please click this up button arrow . Thank You!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaMArtin Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Sorry for bumping this, but after the new rule review, this suggestion may be even more relevant. Many seemed upset about loosing the possibility to have custom paintjobs through save editing. Maybe making the current paintjob customizable, and possibly adding some of the truck paint jobs from the base game would be a good solution? Meaning that they would be obtainable through the repair shop in-game. That way you would avoid any crashes related to people using DLC skins and such, while catering to those who want more choices Also, as stated before, it would make them accessible to all players! Another option would be to create new skins for the car if that's something you'd rather do, however that was not my original suggestion, just throwing some ideas out there!

JeKnYan Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 DLC paint jobs cannot be used on cars as other players without that DLC will experience a game crash. Unlike the base trucks in-game, the game will not replace the missing paint jobs with generic paintjobs, as it can't find the files and thus crashing the game, as the car is an addon to the game. Although the base multicoloured paintjobs for the trucks can be edited onto cars, it is not allowed as it is considered using truck parts on cars. Even though it looks nice cosmetically and won't cause crashes, this game is a TRUCK simulator, not a car one. Cars cannot be modified in any way, except for the available paintjobs and beacons.

Kyano [NTA] Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I woud love this as long as it does not allow paied DLC In conclusion +1 Hello My name is Sten If you have any problems feel free to message me And if you think i deserve a +1 rep feel free to give it to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killua // Ireland ^_^ Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 +1 Yes this would be great especially now that we can't use truck paintjobs on the cars - it would be great to be able to change the red and white colours of the pilot car to different colours, like with the truck paintjobs where you have the option to change the colours of the paintjobs, a similar thing should be added for the pilot cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killua // Ireland ^_^ Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Made this - I really don't see why this couldn't be added ,surely it wouldn't be too hard to add customize-able pilot car colours like this Also surely there would be no lag issues as its the same as the customize-able truck paintjob colours.

Guest Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Definatelly +1 for me! I think it isn't really hard to customize the paint job to take it like two-parts. Well I think that red fits here the best, but... pink wouldn't be bad too I guess. Great idea overall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 it would be nice if u could choose different colors instead of the white Pilot car skin! White looks a bit boring (my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[GT-28] Matthew [ 22 ] Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Good suggestion, would have to automatically prohibit the blue color as is already the police so that administrator uses correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaMArtin Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 ^I don't think you need to ban the color blue. It would still say "Pilot" and not "Police". Besides, if someone were to abuse this and pretend to be police, it's still against the rules, regardless if they have the paintjob or not, and a report should take care of the problem. 2 hours ago, Pheonix_Twitch said: Sersly...

Posts have been added, and people have contributed to the suggestion. The point of a suggestion is to see what the people think about it, and to gauge the interest around the topic, is it not?

Mika L. Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 +1. I like the idea. I was actually wondering yesterday, if it was possible, cause as the pictures show, I would actually have tried to change the colors to black and yellow, if it was possible, which it wasn't But I like your idea, and I would like to see it in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely more important things to do, and there always will be, most likely. But then again, it's often the details that make for a great gaming experience Thanks for the responses!
