Bump - someone must have the same problem as me

Had same issue, did not find a solution and just made my texture darker instead.

I've sorted this, I think. You need to save the .paa in the text2view tool as RGBA and then DXT 5. Make sure the .paa is 512 x 512 or something similar. Also, custom textures appear too bright if they are inside a building or in the shade on a sunny day. Best thing to do is to set the mission as overcast or night. I think this last problem could be a bug. I had a lot of trouble with the user textures but they're working now.

Does anybody know how to disable the sunlight effects on user texture objects?

I've tried setlightintensity, but it doesn't work...

Hey chaps! Great news! One of the devs said this is getting fixed tomorrow!
