Update for anyone else having same problem!
I’ve got it to work! SAI 2 and all files associated with it have to be inside the original SYSTEMAX software development file > SAIv2 file. When I started up SAI 2 after trying this all the brushes appeared and were in place and in working order.
Thank you for your time! I hope this helps someone else.

Hi Jay, I don’t use SAI 2 and, as far as I can tell, they’re incompatible indeed.

Ah, yes I edited the conf files BUT you’re right I’m using SAI 2. Does this mean they are incompatible? Or are there another set of instructions for SAI 2?

Hi Jay, you have to edit the conf files in place, no need to move them. I should note, these instructions are for PaintTool SAI 1, maybe you’re working with SAI 2 instead?

Thanks for the helpful tutorial it made things less daunting. I still don’t quite understand what we are meant to do with the conf files (Ive read the part on that a few times too). Are we meant to extract and save them in a particular place to make them work? Ive edited them and had none of the extra brushes and textures show up to use no matter how many times I’ve restarted the program.

Hi Lorena, that’s a good question! I don’t know what the limit is (if any).

Is there a limited number of brush textures one can have on PTS? I copied all the bmp files in the folder and edited the brushtext.conf but when I open the program, my drop-down list stops just in the middle of my actual list (at Fabric 06).
Thank you.

Hi Carli, are you using version 1 of Paint Tool SAI? This won’t work for version 2.

Not sure if you guys are still active on this website, but I’m having the same issues as someone else who commented, “Nicolle”. Everything went smoothly when downloading the files; I unzipped them, moved them to the correct folders, then edited the .conf files and put the new textures in to match the original ones already in there. Yet, when I open SAI, they never appear in the drop-down menu. I’m not sure what the issue can be – I’ve retraced all my footsteps and made sure I did everything step-by-step, yet the new textures still won’t appear on SAI. So sorry to be bugging you guys, hope you’re doing well, and your brushes look amazing from what I’ve seen!
