This support document provides detailed steps on how to change the livery, and swapping customization options. It covers the process of accessing the vehicle YTD and properly optimizing your livery
Last updated
Let's begin with swapping our premade liveries with your own, after finalizing your design you want to export two versions one in a 2k texture resolution (2048x2048) and the other in a 4k resolution (4096x4096).
Locate the Files: Go to the vehicles stream folder and find the two files ending with a .YTD extension.
Open OpenIV: Launch OpenIV & drag both .YTD files into the OpenIV window.
Open the First YTD File: Open the YTD file that doesn't end in "+hi". We'll handle the other one later.
Search for "Sign": In the search field within OpenIV, type "sign". This helps locate the texture we want to replace.
Replace the Texture: You'll see multiple "sign" textures if the vehicle has multiple liveries. Click on "sign_1" to replace the first livery slot of the vehicle.
Insert Custom Livery: Replace the selected texture with your custom livery's 2k (2048x2048) version.
Save and Close: Save your changes and close the file.
Open the "+hi" YTD File: Now, open the YTD file ending with "+hi".
Locate "Sign" Texture: Again, search for the "sign" texture within this file.
Replace with 4k Livery: Replace the "sign" texture with your custom livery's 4k (4096x4096) version.
Finalize: Save your changes.
Many of our vehicles offer customization options that align with your desired style. If you're familiar with changing liveries, you're all set because the process is very similar.
Find Customization Options: If your product offers customization, look for a folder named "customization" or sometimes labeled "extras".
Open OpenIV: Launch OpenIV and drag the YTD file not labeled as "+hi" into the OpenIV window.
Choose Customization: Let's take the Allegiant lightbar customization as an example. In the customization folder, you'll find preset dome colors for the lightbar.
Select Color: Choose your preferred dome color from the options available.
Replace Texture: In the YTD file, locate "domes_detailing". Click on "replace" and swap it with the color you've chosen.
Save Changes: Don't forget to hit save to apply your customization.
That's it! Your chosen dome color for the lightbar is now applied.
