[stray aurora]

[twin zinc]

I feel like I should make a tribute config of my miata to Ken Block.
A 4-rotor, AWD, bomb-proof rally suspension, some fat wheels and a hoonigan livery.

[latent ivy]

I like my Offroad Barstow...

time to replace my I6 with a V8

[peak ice]

does anyone know of a trator pulling led mod out there?

[ember sierra]

im trying to swap the autobuggy 2.5l engine into the autobello baja, and it goes in and i have it working, but the engine doesnt attach to the car, and just falls out of the rear tube bumper engine holder thing. If i use the node grabber to couple nodes, it works great, but when i reset, the node coupling dissappears. any help would be great

[balmy scroll]

you need to connect the engine nodes to the holder's node duh

[ember sierra]

how

cuz node coupling disappears after you recover a vehicle

it doesnt save

[balmy scroll]

in the engine's jbeam

you make a beam that connects the engine nodes to the holder nodes

not through node coupling

[ember sierra]

do you have a link to a tutorial or forum post or something? im new to modding

[balmy scroll]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/prototype-pulling-sled.11139/
here is one but i dont think it works anymore

[balmy scroll]

go to the modding for dummies discord

[ember sierra]

do you have a link lol

[balmy scroll]

@ember sierra https://discord.gg/3Fy86de

[ember sierra]

thanks a bunch

[fossil sierra]

Can someone please make the 1965 Ford Mustang “Hoonicorn” that Ken Block famously drove around everywhere please

[neon magnet]

Would be cool but that would take a lot of time n effort

Iirc there was some hoonigan styled mod but i forgot the name

[peak ice]

when is the ibishu serenity going to come out??

[old dove]

if you feel old. remember this car used to be a flat plane

[manic sphinx]

[ashen flame]

the world’s nodes

[balmy scroll]

learn your alphabets with jbeam node names

[manic sphinx]

I know it's not as usual but it makes the most sense for what I'm trying to do and I'm not changing it

[balmy scroll]

are you making cloth

[manic sphinx]

Yep even tho I don't think it'll work ideally but boredom kicked in

[lusty berry]

Mods? I wish for a barstow with front 4 link. I made a rally version also a diesel V8

[rocky meadow]

is there a way to toggle chase lights for the new trophy truck?

[flat stirrup]

[onyx dirge]

I've updated my mod checker to also check config issues now, and export reports.
I restructured the code to be more sustainable, and with a bit more restructuring, and a couple more checks (missing flexbodies, for example) I could probably release this tool

[pastel arrow]

can someone help me

[neon magnet]

Whats up

[pastel arrow]

i want to download a mod from modland but it keeps downloading it as .htm ,

[neon magnet]

Dont dload modland mods

[pastel arrow]

then give me a site please

[neon magnet]

Beamng.com and thats it

[pastel arrow]

ok thx

[neon magnet]

No prob

[pastel arrow]

where can i like download better car mods cuz these are kinda scuffed

[vocal cobalt]

Forums and repo only

[pastel arrow]

only there ill find good mods?

[vocal cobalt]

Yes

[pastel arrow]

ok thx

then just tell me where

i put in search "bmw" and it doesnt find anything

[onyx dirge]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/delorean-dmc-12-81-83.75101/

and it won't break your game in the future

[teal gyro]

is there supposed to be a race dashboard on the ibishu signia?

also no roll cage for some reason even with it equipped

and no wheelie bar

idk if its a problem on my end

[fallen estuary]

search up rington mod pack

[teal gyro]

im going to try re-downloading the signia to see if it fixes

[ashen flame]

But will it in 7 years time

[wheat reef]

I have the same problem @polar cedar

[wheat reef]

I tried but it didn't work

🥲 🙅‍♂️

[ashen flame]

Also curious, how much does the LHD claria break the game?

[onyx dirge]

Is the LHD version a different version?

Claria itself has a few unused parts 👀 otherwise it's good

[ashen flame]

Add on mod

https://www.beamng.com/resources/claria-lhd-usdm-parts.23274/

[onyx dirge]

Nothing gamebreaking
most of these are errors because its only scanning this ZIP and not using the calria as a base
So yeah, it's fine

[manic sphinx]

Triangles added but it's still clipping

[dense portal]

maybe move the nodes slightly under the mesh

that way it will be less likely to clip

[smoky patio]

that's because it's hitting the car's tris, which might not completely form to the mesh

[drowsy frost]

What config is this?

Seems to be the race left hand drive only.

[manic sphinx]

They're at -0.035. More would start to look weird

[manic sphinx]

Right... makes sense then

[wheat reef]

drag

[wheat reef]

I can't see the race dashboard and I don't know why I tried to reinstall the mod but it didn't work

[drowsy frost]

Strange. Try running just the signia if you haven't already and clear your cache. I'm running 0 mods and it's just the LHD race dash. That's because in blender, while the mesh exists, the name of it is incorrect and the game is unable to find it.

[wicked fossil]

Any free mod with porsche expect 918

[peak marlin]

So uh I been watching beamng videos for years, and just got the game in 2022. I saw a video where they used a ak47 to shoot at a cop car, where do I get the mod at?

[waxen lichen]

everything actually lines up

apart from the brakes

[waxen lichen]

done 🙂 fully standalone too

[wild raft]

Move the Jbeam of the cover slightly below the cover to allow for some room

[honest tree]

for some reason, i really like this

[manic sphinx]

They are. Moving them more looks weird

[waxen lichen]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/hopper-crawler-extended-wheelbase.90003/ if you guys wanna try 🙂

[ashen flame]

Does it slide like its intended?

[waxen lichen]

slide?

you mean the suspension?

[ashen flame]

the slidenode thing you were talking about earlier

yes

[waxen lichen]

oh yeah, took some effort but i calculated all the node positions

quick maths

[chilly zinc]

oil cooler isnt showing up on the signia, i already restarted my game, is there any fix? got this on gumroad

or should i clear my cache since i downloaded the demo before

[polar cedar]

im updating it today which should fix missing part issues

your rollcage, mudflaps and race dash might be missing too

[minor wyvern]

Hi, LJ when will be column shifters animated on Ibishu Claria? 🤔

[polar cedar]

dunno, depends how hard it is to do and when i feel like doing it

[minor wyvern]

Okay... 😐

[chilly zinc]

got it, thanks man

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @polar cedar

[frank kelp]

yeah, that's an inherent thing with cloth in beam

I wish we could change the nodes' radius or something

so that they'd give a bit of a buffer to the mesh

and make the jbeam "thicker"

same for triangles

[chilly zinc]

im not sure if you're aware of this but you can't see through the glass sunroof panel from the interior, meanwhile on the exterior the glass is transparent

[polar cedar]

you need to equip the sunroof interior lining under the interior slot

[chilly zinc]

mb thanks

[manic sphinx]

It probably wouldn't change the issue. As Finn said: "that's because it's hitting the car's tris, which might not completely form to the mesh"

Car jbeams need to copy mesh dimension accurately at first

[frank kelp]

it'd still help by making the cloth's jbeam thicker and theferore make it better at hiding imperfections like those

[manic sphinx]

Oh in that way yes but still to a certain point

[sick summit]

Anybody managed to get working pacenotes mode?

It doesn't work for me

[slender roost]

anybody know what mod this is

[sturdy bramble]

plum

[lusty berry]

[lusty berry]

send a link

[uneven frigate]

anyone have any links for dodge, chevy and ford trucks? i see them all the time on vids and can’t seem to find them on the forums

[drowsy frost]

Because they're usually low quality meshslaps on 3rd party sites. Don't bother.

[uneven frigate]

okay gotcha, i read a whole bunch on not to download on 3rd party sites. just curious if i wasn’t looking hard enough on the forums page for those mods lol.

appreciate the info tho

[drowsy frost]

Np, thanks for being smart unlike some others who decided to download 3rd party stuff anyways.

[feral warren]

so how does one get into the beamng modding scene

[waxen lichen]

Idk like, mod?

[rugged sphinx]

Guessing from what I have seen, I am no modder myself but others have recommended making custom parts for cars that are already there

[feral warren]

im trying to make a kia sort of thing if i can figure it out

[rugged sphinx]

Oh okay then I can't help sorry

[neon magnet]

It isnt suggested to start with full cars

[humble kindle]

Don't start with a car mod start small instead

[neon magnet]

Like a part

Or anything but a sedan mod cough

[humble kindle]

Do like a prop or something first then slowly work your way up

[viral jasper]

does a config count as a mod?

[neon magnet]

Yes

[viral jasper]

now how do i post one?

[neon magnet]

Though i doubt uploading a single co fig will get that much traction

[fast kernel]

I’m still waiting for it🥺

[viral jasper]

well i made two configs

[neon magnet]

Get the zip of the mod then post it. Make sure it contains the json, png of the thumbnail and pc file

[viral jasper]

how do i post it to the repository?

[neon magnet]

60ish percent done for first release but its far from finished

[neon magnet]

I think its in the profile tab

[viral jasper]

where? where is that? can you show me in a video rq?

[neon magnet]

Ill see if theres a yt vid, not on pc rn

[viral jasper]

Not many I can think of.

Though it seems LJ (well known modder here) has a Mitsu Evo IX mod available.

2 years, you're right.

Romania?
Isn't TR Turkey?

Romania is RO.

Plus Romania uses the format A123BCD for plates.

[fallow smelt]

why good mods in BeamNG are only fictional cars

is there any badged cars/irl cars mods that are good and accurate?

[latent ivy]

no compant wants their car getting broken apart in a game

and also multiple irl brands would mean competition which would lead to probrably unrealistic information on the game to promote one brand more than the other

[waxen lichen]

I think it’s more licensing/trademark related

[north sundial]

Is there a tool to import jbeams into blender or some other software?

[latent ivy]

[jagged moth]

Hi, does anyone know, how I can change the surface of the road. I would to test something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcvbiqqykgE, but with the actually shape which works (half-circles)

[fallow smelt]

but you can still make 1:1 replica from available data, both factually and empirically, yes?

[latent ivy]

is it trademarked? no

[frank kelp]

you'll need to model the road in a 3D modeling software (you can use Blender, it's free and there are plenty of tutorials on youtube)
then you'll need to export your mesh properly to the game and import it in the map you want to use

[latent ivy]

it has to be made with the rights from the brand for it to be legally avaiable on the game since it gets you financial gain

[jagged moth]

thank you very much, I have never used 3D modeling software, but I will try!

[languid nova]

guys do you know any way to make Blender more stable?

it keeps crashing and freezing for me

[latent ivy]

use a stable release

2.90 is good

[celest notch]

number of plugins you're using and the polycount of what you're working on are two other factors that might cause issues

[lusty berry]

regular fenders with larger cut, and high cut fenders

maybe more flat bed customization for the D series, like how you have long bed now have the sides pop out to be bed extensions, or a foldable loading ramp on the long bed version maybe

uhh… wheel guards, heavy duty dumpers, wheels in the trunk like how they do with those trophy trucks but more upright and near the back

[wild grotto]

theres a mod for that already

[alpine sedge]

bro what, this mod isn't even released

It's not really monthly support, it has a permanent link for all the beta versions which I don't think Nekkit removes access to when the subscription runs out

WHAT THE F-

I meant the dude who put the mod on modland

please do not share the fact that it has leaked onto this dogshit website

Oh

Haven't been on forums recently didn't know it was on kofi

[small olive]

i will try to keep the link the same

however i have to change it every leak since i ban leakers from the page

[vocal cobalt]

So I suppose if I now unsubscribe from the monthly subscription I'll still keep the link access?

[small olive]

if you save the drive link yeah

but i will change this one with the next update

[vocal cobalt]

Ok, thanks

Welp, I will buy it then then.

[flat stirrup]

[tired coyote]

[flat stirrup]

Hmm ok
And that's only if you have it enabled?

[tired coyote]

Well yeah

I don't see why you'd have both mods enabled at once

[latent ivy]

Dies someone knows where i can get git fire department, police and ambulance mods? So like Engines oder Ladders

[unreal robin]

yo what is the best police mod out there

[unreal chasm]

It is possible to have a less than 1kg object with a good physic ?

[tired coyote]

Yes, I'd say so
It's just going to be a pain to make

The less nodeweight the more you have to adjust and the more prone something is to breaking

so less nodes more nodeweight

that is why the wigeon had such weird physics on release; poor jbeamers had to find a balance between node weight, node density and deformation

[unreal chasm]

Oh ok thanks for the information

[floral nymph]

use the app

[unreal robin]

Because when i add through the game it only adds like 5

[floral nymph]

go here, under gameplay settings, make sure its auto or maxed out. Add the traffic UI app and turn up the number to the amount you want and click spawn!

[unreal robin]

ok thanks, will it lag my game like crazy if i add alot?

[floral nymph]

what cpu do you have?

[unreal robin]

i7 something

7700k i think

[floral nymph]

you dont want more cars than cores, see how many cores you have!

[clever terrace]

Ay thats helpful

[unreal robin]

thanks man

[floral nymph]

you can get around this though by using simplifed physics in gameplay! you can have a few more cars at the cost of being able to wreck them

cool for just cruising

[unreal robin]

haha ok, i have 4 cores so only 4 ai's?

[floral nymph]

spawn 4 cars in, no ai yet

check your FPS. If you really only have 4 cores, the 5th car spawned should drop your FPS drastically

[unreal robin]

ok

[floral nymph]

its all about fps

[unreal robin]

yessir

[clever terrace]

I can maximum use 6 ai vehicles without the simplified cars option

I think thats a good thing

[floral nymph]

i have a decent PC but my cpu could be better, 8 core

cant wait to get my confirmation money in couple months and play on something that is not a potato in a cardbox

nice, you should have changed the time of day a little, make the sun hit the top of the car. would be cooool

[clever terrace]

Nice tip

Tipp*

@floral nymph yknow a good tutorial for modding cars

Like make custom cars

[floral nymph]

like make them from nothing?

[clever terrace]

Ive got model already

[floral nymph]

i dont. Yet. Ive only been modding for 2 days

ive learned so much, now that i have some cool documentation, it should go even better!

[frank kelp]

there is no such thing as a "good and easy tutorial for making custom cars for beamng.drive"

it's a process that most of the time takes ~6 months or more

some people just take random models they found online and badly slap them onto a vanilla car's physics skeleton

[clever terrace]

6 month for 1 vehicle, yea true

[floral nymph]

ive seen people doing it in discord briefly and it looks very time consuming if you want perfection

[frank kelp]

which makes zero sense

[frank kelp]

I'm not making it up lol

[ashen flame]

(coule be upwards of a year)

[floral nymph]

my plan was to take the powertrain, suspension and whatnot from a vanilla car and create my own model and interior.

to just learn and get my feet wet, looking forward to it

[clever terrace]

But why so long bruh

What takes so long

[ashen flame]

to get a good jbeam, not to mention making the model

[frank kelp]

If you want to learn vehicle modding you should start by making parts for an already existing car

[clever terrace]

jbeam?

[frank kelp]

modeling
texturing
materials
physics (called jbeam. Every single component of the car is made of points and lines called nodes and beams. Everything is simulated and has to have realistic weight, deformation, strength, etc)
final touches

[clever terrace]

Like i said earlier ive got everything already? 😅

[ashen flame]

show the jbem

[clever terrace]

Like textures

[frank kelp]

it's not as easy as downloading a model and putting it in the game lol

[clever terrace]

Models

jbeam not i didnt even know what this shoot is

[ashen flame]

iirc jbeam is one of the core beamng vehicle physics things

it's what makes BeamNG, BeamNG and not Alarm Fur Cobra (or any other game that uses predefined crash models)

[frank kelp]

even if you have a model you still have to separate the parts, model an underbody, model the engine, suspension parts, drivetrain, etc
then you have to make the interior most of the time
then assuming your model will even work with beamng you have to make a separate jbeam structure for each of the individual parts of it

[ashen flame]

if it doesnt have 34892429348290 materials for colors :snotfish:

[frank kelp]

in my case modeling and texturing takes 2-3 months
getting the physics right takes 1-2 months
and then like 2-3 weeks making skins, configurations, thumbnails, performance stats, etc. Final touches basically

[clever terrace]

Tbh i want to mod this burnout paradise car into beamng

Ive got it already on my pc

The model + textures

[frank kelp]

considering you've never modded the game it might take you a year

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/

[clever terrace]

I thought thats a thing of a week or something 😭

[frank kelp]

keep in mind most of the time you have to rely on your ability to reverse-engineer vanilla content. There aren't much good resources around

[frank kelp]

yeah lol that's not a thing

I wish it was lol

[floral nymph]

im sure you can

but thats the crap you get from sketchy crappy mod sites haha

[frank kelp]

yeah basically

[floral nymph]

you hit a wall the car bounces off like rubber and stuff haha

[clever terrace]

Just call it goofy ahh mods haha

[floral nymph]

But im gonna take, probably the Covet, use its entire powertrain and make a model of an old Saab 900. No clue where to start. Im still mustering the courage to tackle this.

[ashen flame]

Why the Covet out of all the cars you could use as an base for an Saab 900?

Isn't it a midsize car?

unless i'm thinking about the Vectra-based ones

[floral nymph]

the covet feels very similar to the saab IRL. Both Fwd, similar weights

i created an AI race and they keep just ramming into each other wrecking one another

[royal coral]

I think you better take the MK2 Pessima's jbeam, since it's the closest size you can get

[floral nymph]

hmm you think so?

[royal coral]

Yeah, since both has the length of 4.6 metres with height of 1.42 metres

[floral nymph]

So, you're saying the size dimension are more important than the the feel of the car?

keep in mind, i have zero idea of what goes into completing what i want to do.

[royal coral]

That's not what i mean, but just to make it more realistic. But anyways, up to you

Well, both Pessima Mk2 and 900 NG has the weight of 1400 kilos and FWD

[floral nymph]

what do you mean by realistic though? Trying to imagine what i want to do is kinda hard. I imagine taking the covet body off, creating a new Saab body and slapping it on the covet chassis. obviously there is a ton more involved in this, like the covet wheels are obviously not going to fit in the Saabs wheel wells. So your insight is much appreciated !

to me, the feel of the Covet, closely resembles that of the Saab i want to make. I own 2 of them!

if we are only talking weight, the Mk2 is actually very very close but imo feels completely different than the almost 30 year old car ive grown to hate/love

i am new at modding, 2 days now. hence the reason of wanting to start with a vanilla car and not have to worry with physics

[royal coral]

Umm, alright if you want so..

[floral nymph]

and just do visual creation, as i feel that would be the hardest thing to grasp, so i want to do it first i guess

[azure grail]

bro, i wish it a week long endeavor

[frank blade]

how do i download mods threw a goodle drive doc?

[stray aurora]

so

do i have to get blender for engine porting

the engine im gonna try to port is the 1 cyl wendower to the piccolina

but i got no experience and have no idea what im doin and this tutorial says i need blender

oh yeah and i cant find the piccolina files

[lapis sail]

They’re under Autobello

[stray aurora]

i cant find autobello

op nvm

but the file is in cache21.4.0

is that normal

[spring coral]

Hello

[errant jolt]

anyone know some nice wheel packs for bone stock car, like OEM stuff

i use to make trim levels myself on some mods so more wheels could be handful

[polar cedar]

Kljp core mod has a bunch of oem wheels for ibishus and hirochis

[errant jolt]

ohhh yeah haven't tought of using the KLJP mod wheels thx ^^

and any Hubcaps? for mainly european stuff

[spring coral]

And sorry for ping i guess its ok I just turn off the mention

Hello👋

[wicked egret]

Is there a mod that adds drift steering to the covet?

[honest maple]

is there a mod with like insane engine swaps

[royal perch]

Quick question -- I'm a dad, and my kid has been asking me to get BeamNG for him. Are the skins kid-appropriate? In one of the youtube videos, the car had paint that had some anime girl that wasn't pornographic, but was a little bit sexy. I just want to know -- are there community content standards? Are there things that would be really inappropriate for a 10yo?

[honest maple]

Yeah it’s completely all ages freindly some people make custom liverys the game is very good I’ve had it for 4years very realistic and worth the money hope ur kid gets it 👍

[royal perch]

Okay, this is good to know, thanks

[honest maple]

Yeah so if he wants to download mods just do it from the offical website like TheTalkingBath said 👊

[royal perch]

And yes, @honest maple , I think he'll probably get it, because if I'm being honest, I'm actually really excited to play it too

[honest maple]

Trust me if you like cars in real life this is a master piece

the crash physics are unreal and so satisfying

me personally bec i can run high graphics mods and ive paid for some mods so for me i think it is

True some mods are total garbage where as some are really good

[nimble valley]

i wish more mods had manual gearbox as option

pita to add one yourself lol.

[honest maple]

im trying to find like good offroad cars

with really good suspension

[nimble valley]

for example this camry mod has rwd option but only an 8 speed auto or dct

you cant clutch kick it lol

[fervent crag]

Mostly cheaper stuff.

[nimble valley]

yea i was just saying its more fun since there is no consequences in game

i added a 6 speed manual to the camry now lets see if it shows up in game if i coded it right.

[drowsy frost]

Took a look at it myself awhile back, the one with the truck exhausts isnt even connected correctly.

[nimble valley]

lol

also many modders try to do everything alone

not saying they can't but often best mods are made by multiple modders working together

not enough power for rwd clutch kick ofcourse but can still drift.

i forgot if this curve looks normal or not for a 3.5 toyota v6 turbo

rwd, 6 speed manual, 30 psi turbo and with some edits to idle rpms and higher redline rpm and ofc stronger engine to deal with power.

no a friend linked it to me

[nimble valley]

I didn't know.

[elfin dawn]

looking for nice off road race maps

anyone know any?

[raw dagger]

Theres a rally / offroad map called Gravel Rally i think

[elfin dawn]

thanks

is it good for racing?

[random stone]

i need beamng mods 0.14

[whole ruin]

0.14?

[random stone]

yes

(Old, i know)

[whole ruin]

sorry to break it you, but you should have been playing 0.27

[random stone]

i know

but

i cant, my computer simply cannot handle it

potatopc

[random stone]

also im not hacking to get to 0.14, steam betas allow me to do so

[mighty basin]

ah you're on 0.14.0.5?
last directx10 version

[random stone]

yep!

u got any mods?

(Please, getting bored of vanilla beam)

[ashen flame]

there isn't really any mods that support 0.14, most you could get are outdated mods from that era

[random stone]

i was thinking that, i cant find any, maybe because it isnt 4 years ago anymore

nice thing, i get to keep the throaty v8s

this leads me onto the question, does anyone know of any 0.14 mods?

[unreal chasm]

Try to ask it in the forum ?

[random stone]

good idea

[sick summit]

Do you know any race organization plugin for multiplayer?

[nimble valley]

fixed the torque curve.

now its like the real toyota 3.5 v6

[white heath]

any recommendaitons for car mods?

[nimble valley]

i have had to fix all mods i downloaded

where the hell is everybody?

hello?

[drowsy frost]

We're living our lives or sleeping.

Not everyone is drawn to playing BeamNG every waking hour and be online 24/7.

[sudden whale]

Aim making a mod of a volvo

[nimble valley]

why

[drowsy frost]

Because we all have lives.

[nimble valley]

no not really im just really bored

[charred ivy]

is the modding for beamng powerful? Can I for example take control over the wheel or manage gas and brakes?

I am thinking of getting BeamNG

But i do not know if the modding is powerful enough

Sorry if i am asking a stupid question..

[nimble valley]

beamng is a very detailed simulation

the modding is complex

you can steer a wheel and press gas pedals and brakes

[charred ivy]

Well can the mod handle that for you?

Can I control the car with the use of mods?

Is that a possbility

The modding most people make are mods including just adding your own car or model etc

However I am looking into making a system

[nimble valley]

explain more

what kind of system?

[charred ivy]

Are you familiar with raspberry Pi's?

[nimble valley]

ok yes i get it

[nimble valley]

i have heard of it but tell me more

what is your end goal?

[charred ivy]

Well basically I want to send data from a Raspberry into BeamNG and therefore getting the car to move by itself

[nimble valley]

control beamng using phone?

turn your phone into a controller?

[charred ivy]

Did i ever say phone

For example if the mod gets the input of 30 degrees I want to rotate the steering wheel by 30 degrees

[nimble valley]

ah i confuse with blueberry sry

so what is the purpose of this?

mod or system you want to make

[charred ivy]

what does this matter lol i want to know if its possible

[nimble valley]

why are you doing this

[charred ivy]

i want to send data from my raspberry to BeamNG

[nimble valley]

im trying to understand it through why you want to do it

[charred ivy]

that doesnt matter

is it possible

[nimble valley]

sry i dont know

i have to admit

[charred ivy]

thank you

[nimble valley]

is it autonomus driving ?

ok np

[charred ivy]

Well I have a raspberry pi and a couple of buttons on it

Lets say I click one button and the signal gets sent to my pc and into the mod

would the mod be able to for example switch gear?

[nimble valley]

if you pressed the upshift button then yes

and if the car has a sequential or semi automatic gearbox

[charred ivy]

im sorry but do you understand what i mean

[nimble valley]

you can bypass it that way

probably not but im trying

i have nothing to do

[charred ivy]

ok ok

[nimble valley]

ok forget this im wasting your time

[charred ivy]

I have a computer chip with a bunch of buttons on it. When I click one of the buttons i want the mod to recognize and therefore gear up in beamng. However the process of gearing up using a mod seems to be the biggest problem.

Dw about it man if u can help me please do

Even if u fail :)

[frank kelp]

If you want to use your Pi as a controller for windows then yes that's possible afaik

I'm not very knowledgeable but from what you're trying to do there should probably be info online for this

Not for BeamNG specifically but using it as a controller for Windows/ whatever OS you're using

[latent ivy]

hi

[sturdy bramble]

hello

[meager bramble]

@eternal ruin everytime i see you post in showcase you post some beautiful pictures

[zinc yoke]

all this sounds more like a general programming thing and not a beamng specific thing, as an example beam can be used with keyboard, mouse, controller, wheel, and I imagine if you program you custom controller correctly you can use that as well

Oh sorry, lucas basically already said it my mistake

[native mulch]

Is there a mod or just a somewhat easy fix for the trees that you get stuck in?

[keen maple]

How would i optimize my mod and make the file smaller (a map) in a quick and easy way? I find the trees take up alot of space when placed on the map but without them it looks bare

[native mulch]

Maybe if you have any unused objects or textures, delete them.

[median solstice]

idk what's LJ's username anymore because of teens following that silly trend, but the trial version of that new 70s coupe thing you made has a broken texture on the painted rear bumper.

[boreal creek]

yo why does the mod look like this? and how do i fix it?

its a nissan 240sx

[frozen ice]

I’d say it is missing some texture, try deleting the mod and redownload it

[nimble valley]

I think its just for corrections. For example -0.5% to make it straight again.

[dark garnet]

I think I might have quite literally broken the game by driving the V10 destroyer 💀

[median solstice]

maybe just the drivetrain

[dark garnet]

Hitting the brakes on that car while going 11000 mph was a terrible idea 💀

[median solstice]

p sure resetting will fix it in which case it's an issue with the car speedo not getting an accurate reading and not the game itself

[dark garnet]

It spun so fast sideways that THAT happened💀

What color is your Bugatti?

[elder python]

Sometimes I wish I knew how to mod / model so I could make a Cannonball variant of the Bolide.

[dark garnet]

How did they manage to make cars like the Deo Volente and the V10 destroyer go so fast?

Like I'm talking over 1,000 mph. Faster than any plane can travel.

[zenith cloud]

"faster than any plane can travel" i can literally name dozens of planes faster than that

[dark garnet]

Well I mean most planes.

[zenith cloud]

most fighter jets can easily exceed 1000

[dark garnet]

But can they exceed 30,000 mph? That was the max for the V10 destroyer.

[zenith cloud]

30k might be a little quick for an aircraft lol

i think it would get ripped apart and melted to a liquid by the friction from the air within seconds 😂

I don’t know, but is it possible to do that with vehicles? Like you take a vehicle from assetto corsa and it makes it into blender?

You can get the 3D models straight from the asset browser

But they're waaayyyy too highpoly for beam

[lusty berry]

Is there any more mods for the crown Vic of BEAMNG

Sooooo is there a solution? What about the actual engine (not the texture, just the functioning part, the jbeam files)?

[celest notch]

i believe noone's answered this yet:

It looks like you're using a subdivision surface modifier. make sure that you're actually applying modifiers in your export settings or apply them in blender.

and another thing FYI:
you don't need a subdiv to make things look smooth. That looks super highpoly for not much detail, lol.

[proven shore]

thanks got everything

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @celest notch

[celest notch]

👍

here's a thing i worked on a while back (and never finished lol)

a bmw i3 - aka the car ever.
Did most of the front panels but progress ground to a halt as soon as i wanted to start working on the chassis. Just never had the courage to even begin with that

polycount/topology-wise it should be.. reasonable lol

maybe a bit on the highpoly side

[frank kelp]

yeah that's too high poly for beam

[celest notch]

it was never intended for beam but im considering remodeling it with a few less polygons and actually trying to make a really nice looking bmw i3 mod

i've got the modelling skills on a technical level, if anything I'd just need some advice for finding good references (without owning the car [i wish tbh]) to model the chassis, engine, that kinda stuff.

[drowsy quarry]

question

[celest notch]

answer(?)

[neon magnet]

shoot

[drowsy quarry]

did the devs update the schedule for the repository?

im having a bit of trouble putting words together this morning, but ill try my best to make this understandable

usually mods on the repository are posted around 3-6 am est, on mondays-fridays

recently however its been all messed up

its like one day they will post mods and then the next they dont

[frank kelp]

they don't have a schedule for the repo uploads

[drowsy quarry]

oh

[neon magnet]

noticed that they didnt upload any today, not sure what's happening but we gotta be patient

[frank kelp]

they do it when they're available, IIRC the team doing repo work is the same one as QA

[drowsy quarry]

they didnt do anything on friday either

[neon magnet]

yeah

[frank kelp]

They're just busy with other stuff

[drowsy quarry]

hm

Wait whats qa again

[neon magnet]

quality assurance

[frank kelp]

quality assurance

ninja'd

[drowsy quarry]

whats the difference between that and quality control

[frank kelp]

same thing

[celest notch]

had a look at the covet model, i guess about half the vertex/loop density of what I have should be more appropriate

[drowsy quarry]

ah

[celest notch]

and generally optimising wherever possible

[frank kelp]

yeah. You also don't have to make it quads only lol, you could save a lot of density by using a few triangles here and there
stuff like wheel arches you can get away with having more polygons as they're curved and really visible

[celest notch]

ye

same with interior stuff. i saw that the steering wheel was oddly highpoly

[frank kelp]

yup since it's round and right in front of your face lol

[celest notch]

but it makes perfect sense since it takes up like 1/8 of the screen in cockpit view and it spins, which means any jaggedness will be even more obvious

[frank kelp]

yup

[drowsy quarry]

oh btw lucas I had a question for you

[celest notch]

i honestly doubt theres much demand for a bmw i3 mod though lol

[drowsy quarry]

i was just wondering if people are allowed to make mods for the 1994 k series

Example: bodykits, skins, stuff like that

[celest notch]

just had a look at your artstation and saw the wireframe of the delorean you made lucas.
first of all, wow. second of all, jesus christ what's up with these wheels LMAO

[drowsy quarry]

mmmmm

That is simultaneously satisfying and terrifying at the same time

[celest notch]

perhaps normal-map-able but would prob look bad if it wasn't modeled

[karmic rune]

Does anyone know a Lexus LS400 mod with an interior

[cobalt ember]

@onyx dirge sorry to bother u but can u make luke a regular shuttle bus version to ur mod? Like the one with bus windows and coachlike seats

[frank kelp]

sure

[frank kelp]

probably because they're triangulated. I didn't make the wheels, D-Troxx did

they're normal mapped btw

[celest notch]

all the "spokes"?

they look pretty 3d-modeled to me D:

[frank kelp]

yeah the spokes are 3D modeled lol

would look like crap if they weren't

could arguably be reduced a little bit

but then again this is really needed otherwise they wouldn't look 3D and that's no good

since wheels don't deform you don't really need to care about polycount for them. Body panels do deform so you have to keep that in mind

also I made the delorean 3 years ago lol, imho my models look a lot better now

I really need to update my artstation lol

here's a newer wheel I made, completely baked from high to low poly

[celest notch]

i was gonna ask if thats baked or handpainted

[frank kelp]

yeah it's baked

the textures were made in substance painter

[celest notch]

allegorithmic ❤️

[frank kelp]

yeah adobe sucks but hey

id rather pay 100 once for a year of updates (and then still being able to use it) than 10 a month for constant updates

[frank kelp]

you don't get updates with the steam version

[unreal chasm]

Do exist another application to create PBR texture or only substance painter do that ?

[celest notch]

armor paint, quixel mixer

[frank kelp]

there are others

[celest notch]

there's a good few alternatives

[frank kelp]

but they're not as good IMHO

[unreal chasm]

they are free ?

[frank kelp]

mixer is pretty good and free

[celest notch]

quixel mixer even has features that substance designer has

they're either free or cheaper than substance

SP is definitely the industry standard and the best overall

[unreal chasm]

nice for the info, because I only got 20days left

[celest notch]

when it comes to 3d modeling i'd say maya and blender are both on the same level nowadays

maya was the standard until blender 2.8, after that blender did a little 🚗💨 and shot past the competition lol

from what ive heard from others - blender is much more stable and easier to use than maya

genuinely the only part where I've seen blender to be lacking is UVMapping

because to get good results its still a lot of manual work. Maya's smart uv stuff/generally how uv packing works is way better than blender's

if you want something for pixel-art-y graphics (think ultrakill, cruelty squad, teardown, valheim, that kinda thing)

UBPainter runs in godot and you can get it on itch.io for 12.99$

[unreal chasm]

So much information for me xD, I only do a sphere of 7 cm for 0.8 kg, I don't need all of this xD (I can go up to how many nodes for my little object ? , actually, I've got 14)

[frank kelp]

you can get UVPackMaster for like $30 and it's awesome

couldn't work without it lol

UVs are a pain

[celest notch]

oh riiiight

totally forgot blender addons were a thing

textools is really handy every now and then :p

ive spent like 10 hours on a goddamn uvmap before

[neon magnet]

cough

[celest notch]

i can confirm the texture was basically 99% utilized in the end

[celest notch]

bless you

[waxen lichen]

Compared to what i used to use UVing in blender is a breeze

[waxen lichen]

Got any tutorials on this? Pretty new to blender etc but i slowly find my way

[frank kelp]

I haven't really used any particular tutorial

just generic wheel making and a bake tutorial should suffice

[waxen lichen]

Ah ok

[frank kelp]

I made a timelapse a while ago of me making a wheel

I don't use the same workflow but it's still up-to-date

1 sec

[waxen lichen]

Thx ill check it out tonight

[celest notch]

prediction how holes are gonna be made : boolean then cleanup

or: knife cut project then cleanup

[frank kelp]

only time will tell lol

[celest notch]

just a knife cut ahh LMAO

i guess that works too

the array modifier is smart

also, what's the general polycount for wheels in beam?
as in, how many vertices are they around

[frank kelp]

if it works it works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[celest notch]

64?

[frank kelp]

depends on the number of spokes

quik mathz

[celest notch]

ah true

[frank kelp]

max should defo be 48

[celest notch]

ic ic

[frank kelp]

especially if you're baking since you won't really see the vertices then

[celest notch]

gah damn those normals look clean

definitely reassuring to see someone who i'd deem "way above my skill" level doing the same things i do :'3

[naive axle]

Where do you ppl get the rpm-torque curve?

[frank kelp]

in-game or IRL reference?

[waxen lichen]

People unironically use boolean?

10 yrs ago you’d get publicly humiliated

[celest notch]

josh gambrell making his 1000th boolean workflow video while making the most random shapes ever :kekw:

[frank kelp]

lmfao

yeah

[celest notch]

booleans can be used for a thing or two tho

[frank kelp]

talk about recycling content
man's living off of booleans

[celest notch]

if booleans are too wacky knife project is still very very useful

i had a really nice usecase for knife project recently where i modeled a novation launchpad (sides were n-gons) and i had to do a loop cut through the base

blender had a stroke figuring out where the loop should be, so i did the loopcut by knife-projecting a plane along the side and setting to "cut through"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cng9UdeY69k

what he tought here is actually pretty neat tho

[naive axle]

irl reference

[celest notch]

TL;DW:

When you wanna do a union bollean, align the vertices if you can.

Then when using subdiv do proximity loops with a 2-segment bevel and the profile set to 1

[naive axle]

the only info i get is max torque-rpm(710nm-5700) and max power(740hp-7500)

dont know how to transform it in a curve to put in-game

[unreal chasm]

you can try to recreate it with automation ?

[naive axle]

i dont have automation

[waxen lichen]

I mean

Boolean used to work

But the result was a mess

Unless you lined it up right

Which was pretty much impossible to do and resulted in a lot of cleaning up

Making it faster just to model it differently

[versed solstice]

Is there any Good Supercar Mods?

[naive axle]

unfortunately no

[versed solstice]

There is
Ferrari Enzo
Lamborghini Gallardo
Bugatti Chiron
Lamborghini Aventador
On forums
And the Paid
Civetta Mondello

[naive axle]

never seen this enzo, will look for it later, gallardo isnt a supercar and i missed the bugatti

[versed solstice]

Is there any Good SUV Mods?

[versed solstice]

Yep

[manic phoenix]

Pessima type r xd

very nice, thanks for the insight!

[bright summit]

hello everyone, who is the developer of IBISHU SIGNIA/BX?

[vast sierra]

LJ, im not sure about his discord but i think @frank kelp would know (hopefully)

[acoustic ice]

the gallardo and Chiron are good

[frank kelp]

@LJ#9694

[acoustic ice]

gallardo is a 5.0/5.2 litre V10 from Lamborghini. You are essentially saying the Huracan isn't a supercar, it only has 30 more horsepower🤔

[frank kelp]

which platform did you buy it on and with what payment option?

[naive axle]

horsepower does not define the car class, gallardo is a sports car, not a supercar

[acoustic ice]

I ain't gonna argue. The Gallardo is a Rear (maybe mid-rear) engine supercar.

an italian rear engined car that has an optional 6-speed gated stick isn't gonna be called a sports car

[bright summit]

ki-fo giropay

ko-fi *

[naive axle]

just look at the car specsheets

[frank kelp]

you should have received an email on the address you used to buy the mod. check your spam inbox

[acoustic ice]

what makes you think it isn't a supercar?

just wondering

[bright summit]

I looked there but didn't get anything.

[naive axle]

why are u in denial?

[frank kelp]

you should contact ko-fi for a refund then
