[ETS2] Paint Job Packer – Lightweight mod making tool [Windows/Linux] v1.10.2 [2023-05-26]

by Euro truck simulator 2 · May 27, 2023

Descriptions:
Paint Job Packer is a lightweight mod making tool for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. It allows you to generate simple paint job mods, with a focus on mods that support multiple vehicles.

Features
Cross-platform support, with Windows, macOS and Linux versions
Support for player-owned trailers, including those from DLCs
Support for trucks using the newer accessory-based paintjob system, like the Scania S and MAN TGX Euro 6
Support for as many vehicles as you like in a single mod
Built-in support for >100 truck and trailer mods, full list here
Support for separate paintjobs for each cabin of a truck, in case a single texture doesn’t work for all of them
Optionally includes readymade 4k templates for each vehicle

Paint Job Packer doesn’t make a completed mod from the get-go. Instead, it makes what I call “custom example mods”, giving you all the files you need for your mod, but with placeholders standing in for every image/texture. You then go through and replace all the placeholder images with your own to complete the mod. Since you usually have to test and tweak a paint job many times before it’s ready, generating paintjobs this way means you only have to run the program once.

If you’d like an all-in-one mod making program, or you’d like to make metallic paint jobs, paint jobs with changeable colours, or non-paint job mods, I highly recommend Mods Studio 2.

Tutorial/demonstration video

I made a tutorial video explaining how to make paintjob mods using Paint Job Packer, including generating their files, working with templates and uploading to Steam Workshop. You can watch it by clicking below
