📋 About This Mod
Now you can swap out the cargo skins (like Skin Manager, but for the cargo models). This is an updated version of Cappycot's Cargo Swap mod.
Compatible with most of the old Cargo Swap skins, but not the 20ft container skins. Altfuture changed the model of the 20ft container to match the military 20ft container, so none of those skins work anymore.
Installation
Drag the downloaded zip file into Unity Mod Manager like you would any other mod. You do not need Skin Manager installed, although it is compatible with Skin Manager.
Installing the old cargo skins
Unzip into the mod directory, so that the file path is as follows:
<game install folder>\Derail Valley\Mods\CargoSwapMod\Skins\<cargo-type>\<skin-name>\<skin-files>
For example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Derail Valley\Mods\CargoSwapMod\Skins\C_FlatcarContainerAny\Maersk\ContainersAltas_01d.jpg
Installing the new cargo skin packs
Drag the downloaded zip file into Unity Mod Manager like you would any other mod.
Don't the 40 foot container textures take up a lot of VRAM?
They did with the old version of this mod. The 40ft container textures are 8K textures, but only the top left corner is used (the reason why is complicated). This mod now crops the textures at runtime so that we're not having to keep 63 million white pixels in VRAM for each texture.
TLDR: you should be able to use more 40ft container textures now, especially if your graphics card has a good amount of VRAM.
The zip file should contain two items:
-
[]a "Skins" folder (structured like the old cargo skins: Skins\<cargo-type>\<skin-name>\<skin-files>)
[
] Just like normal Derail Valley mods, it needs an info.json file that contains the following:
"Id": "SkinPackName",
"DisplayName": "Skin Pack Name",
"Author": "Username",
"Version": "1. 0. 0",
"HomePage": "https://www.nexusmods.com/derailvalley/mods/1034",
"Requirements": [ "CargoSwapMod" ]
Of course you can change the fields to whatever you want. The Id should be unique, and the HomePage should link to the nexusmods page for your skin pack. The important thing is to keep "CargoSwapMod" listed as one of the requirements.
Here's a list of all the possible cargo types:
