    Hello! I am probably asking for something ridiculous but I am still new to modding: why vehicles become black after I apply normal map?

    What is the requirement for the normal_map image to be correct? (I mean, if it must have or not have the alpha channel for example)

    I think that the problem is the image format, as I have to swap the "redgreen" line (into material file) otherwise the mod won't work.

    I've already searched over Google but still with no results.

    Any answer is welcome, thanks! Have a nice weekend

    There is some corrupted texture, I have this regulary. Just export every texture multiple times until it works again.

    :/ This is very strange. Btw, thanks!

    No this is a texture cache error.

    Delete it and it will work again. Or export the texture again.

    I think it also only happens in ME not ingame. Disable auto update in ME

    It is happening in game but not at me... It happens only to some users that have downloaded my mods.

    Like me! I have this issue as I'm testing some of this mods:P

    So basically the error happens to me both in ME and in-game. I solved this issue by giggling the normal map textures a bit (mainly changing from .dds to .tga format).

    Also I see that .dds files have a ton of export options, maybe they influence the game's behaviour.

    Weirdly enough, even putting a vanilla normal map on one of his mods doesn't really change the situation. The normal map is visible, but looks like the albedo is gone black.
