Custom Car Shaders

Custom Car Shaders

Custom Car Shaders are custom paint jobs for vehicles in CIT.

Vehicle shader command

Use /vehskin while driving the vehicle.

The shader panel shows group, squad, and personal vehicle shaders. Double click highlighted lines to toggle a shader on or off.

What shaders change

Shaders are custom paint jobs. They change how vehicles or skins look, not the model.

Shader use

A custom car shader changes how your vehicle looks.

Shaders stay linked to your account, so you can reapply them later.

Vehicle shaders are managed with:

• /vehskin

Skin shaders are separate and use:

• /customskin

How to get a vehicle shader

Donate through Pilovali's Payments Page. A personal car shader costs 10 EUR, a squad shader 20 EUR, and a group shader 25 EUR.

To get a vehicle shader:

1. Buy it through Pilovali's payment page.
2. Send a forum PM with:
   • Your account name
   • Your email address
   • The image
   • The car ID

Shader orders are usually applied within 24 hours.
