How to Make and Replace Decals or Posters
Introduction
This guide is aimed to help you in making custom decals / pictures.
The rest of the guide is quite old school for the older build.
The newer build comes shipped with Custom assets PDF to also help you, located in:
\steamapps\common\TankMechanicSimulator\ModdingTools\PDF Instructions\TMS Custom Assets.pdf
File Systems Used in Game
- Camo (TGA)
- Decals (TGA)
- Posters (TGA)
- Flags (PNG)
- Museum stands (PNG)
Software
First we will need editing software that can make files in .TGA format
I like to use Paint(net) you can get it here completely free and easy to use,
Important! Do not compress the pictures.
Note: More software could possibly do this job (must have .TGA format)
Finding the Game Files for Adding or Replacing Pictures
Now we find the files location, which would be here.
Common location
This is for when the game is on the same drive.

Uncommon location
This is when the game is on the separate drive to Stеam.
