I export a JPEG and PNG emergency lightbar texture, I change the red to blue and save and import back in the car file, when I go in the game, the lightbar doesn't turn on at all.... but when I replace it with the original one, it works again. It almost seems like the file doesn't like when I touch it and save it no matter what I do lol. Any help?

When saving  the image after editing it, make sure you change the file type to what it originally was.  If you exported it as PNG, save as PNG.  If you exoprt as JPEG, save as JPEG. Changing the file type when saving is what ruins it.

I exported it as JPEG and used paint, saved it as JPEG

I would double check your steps, I think you might be doing something incorrectly, because I've done this many of times and got it to work.  Try it one more time, if you still have issues, you can either paste the link to the car so I can test, or check out my all blue lights file and see if it has the textures you need.

It's straight forward, i export it as PNG, open paint, change red to blue, save as PNG, replace the original file 

 

Is it not?

 

It's a Slendis pack, it's a 2016 FPIU, not the slick top of course lol

I've actually done this pack already, just haven't uploaded it yet.  My guess is that it's some kind of issue with paint.

 

Here are all the textures you need.

Oh wow thanks, but now I want to do it myself to see what the hell is wrong with paint lol

 

gonna use Paint 3D app on MSW10

weird man, it just doesn't work... when I export  the file and Import it back, without even editing anything, the lightbar goes dark ( I can see it in police3.yft)... I wonder if OpenIV has a problem, compresses maybe? I don't know

Have you tried cleaning the car and making sure there's no tint on the car?

Yea it's none of those at this point, it's something with exporting. Only BMP file works when I export it and import it back, but when I edit it, even that won't work

 

So with JPG and PNG just exporting original file out and importing it back will mess it up, not with BMP. BMP works when I export and import it back. Still can't edit the BMP file tho, or it'll mess it up.

It finally worked! I had to use paint.net and use DDS3 file. you were right, I think MS Paint compressed it or did something
