Hi!
I'm new to modding and this is my first asset. My problem is that my train is red and green when playing the game but in the asset editor it looks correct. What could be wrong?

For trains (and busses) color variations will always be set to the line color, disabling it in the editor won't work. Are you sure the color mask was imported correctly? It should be the same resolution as the diffuse map and fully black (either rgb or grayscale, preferably a png file).
It's the only reason I could think of that causes this. If that's not it maybe someone else knows what's going on.

Also, easy test to see if it's indeed the color variation, change the line color and see if the train changes color as well. You can do a similar thing in the editor to see if the color mask was correctly imported.

I didn't have my color mask at the same resolution so thanks but didn't change anything. I tried deleting my asset and make a new one. got the same result. In the end I exported my model once again, made a color mask out of my diffuse map, just added black over it and created a new asset in the asset editor. I have no idea how this should be different from the previous one but now it looks correct. Now I just need to tweek some maps. Thanks anyway :)
