You can enter the path to your favorite texture or bitmap editor here. The settings dialog also has a line to input the path to your texture editor. So you can safely assume (for now) that any non-truck asset available to you is also available to everyone who downloads your map. After any major game updates or DLC releases, you can click “Install Game Media” again to pick up the changes.Įxcept for the new USA trucks, the assets for all DLC and expansions are available to modders.
