[magic peak]

thank you 😄

[neon magnet]

ill encircle bits that need improvement

[magic peak]

so basicly i need to study the body line of the car and follow said body lines with verticies and lines connecting verts

[neon magnet]

uh

[magic peak]

aight thank you

[neon magnet]

just wait a bit

[magic peak]

oki

[neon magnet]

some of the more urgent ones, also i very must suggest you to work on the individual verts part by part

[magic peak]

so there is a cleaner way to do this "kink" (place on the middle of the bumper

[austere ether]

5 times the spyware

[lapis sail]

Active exhaust

[magic peak]

Is it a spyware?

[wild grotto]

@dense portal pin it

oh wait

[dense portal]

no its 12h

and if people follow it itll be at the front lol

[wild grotto]

yeah right

[latent ivy]

yo guys, what's the best place to download mods? i'm tryna find some cars but can't find any good ones

[austere ether]

Wouldn't be surprised after this https://www.pcmag.com/news/opera-hacked-stolen-certificate-used-to-spread-malware

[fathom thorn]

Beamng.com is the only place you should get mods

[latent ivy]

ight ty bro, wasn't really sure

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @fathom thorn

[latent ivy]

only forums and repo

[sonic flax]

beamng.com or repo, most other sites are dodgy

[azure galleon]

What kind of things do I need to consider if I wanted to port Los santos into BeamNG?

[latent ivy]

the amount of poly's of every model, having LOD's, size, pc able to run

also custom collider meshes if they dont import from gta

[azure galleon]

So if my computer can run gta fine in the normal game, would that also be the case with beamng?

[latent ivy]

no

different game engines, graphics, performance handling (as in cars not loading for example)

[azure galleon]

Ah. True.

[latent ivy]

but it may run just fine

[azure galleon]

Well for the models I know I can get rid of a lot of trees.

[latent ivy]

really depends

[latent ivy]

yeah, you can use the forest tool to have better trees

[azure galleon]

And like, light posts and stuff.

[azure galleon]

We have a forest tool???

[latent ivy]

not really necessary but it can have an LOD where it doesnt exist

[latent ivy]

in beamng yes

[azure galleon]

I didn’t know that. That’s cool.

So would collision making work. Is it length?

Like on something as big as the Los santos map?

[latent ivy]

dont understand the question

English isn't my perfection for sure.

its fine, its a 5 minute mute, saw the message in the notification box since I was focused on something else

you can DM me

@azure galleon you are unmuted

[azure galleon]

Ah cool.

[magic peak]

Damn

[dense jungle]

where is the ambulance body in the d series dae file

looking in the json file, is it in the h series dae file?

[cyan drum]

[dense jungle]

i found it in the h series one nvm

[restive veldt]

does anyone know how to fix an issue with tintable mod where if you check the tint inside box some windows appeard weird and like they are painted black from the exterior view

this is the diffrence between tint inside and only outside you can see the window become like a black sticker or something

[cyan drum]

nothing you can do about that

that's beam glass on glass rendering for you

[restive veldt]

oh okay

sometimes i dont have it so it drove me mad trying to find out why

[digital relic]

oh shooot should I have asked my question in here lol

[abstract star]

does anyone know if there is an updated version of the car transport addon? as of right now it's outdated and spawns in without textures
if there isn't, if there a similar mod to this one?

[drowsy frost]

Youre able to easily swap out the materials it has with the latest dryvan ones.

However there isn't a public fix.

AR162bs trailer pack has some trailers for hauling cars. There's also a car carrier trailer on the forums.

[drowsy leaf]

There's s lot car trailers

[drowsy frost]

Yee

[dense jungle]

all of a sudden, why do none of these exist in the game

[cyan drum]

because no one has made them

[abstract star]

ok, are there some similar mods like this one?

[drowsy frost]

Not really no

[abstract star]

alr

i just want to make a video about intresting truck addons

[long juniper]

Is worldofmods safe?

[cyan drum]

no

[wild axle]

no

[cyan drum]

avoid any 3rd party sites

[long juniper]

oh

alright thank you both

[cyan drum]

only good page is beamng.com

[long juniper]

alright

[glacial sable]

can someone help me with addon cars it dont show them in the game

[fathom thorn]

are they in the mods folder

[glacial sable]

yes

[fathom thorn]

Are they .zip files

[glacial sable]

and when i go to a server and it has mods it says invaild zip

[fathom thorn]

?

[glacial sable]

yea

[fathom thorn]

Do the mods work without multiplayer

The only mods that work on a beammp sever are the ones installed on the server

[glacial sable]

no dont on multiplayer

yea when im on a server when it dowloads the cars mod it says invalid zip and dont dowloads it

[fathom thorn]

That’s a server/beammp issue

Not a beamng issue

[glacial sable]

ok

[neat meadow]

Generic ancient mobile game free asset car

[clever canopy]

what mod can you buy for 2 euro paypal?

[polar owl]

so mod land is not safe

[fervent crag]

Pretty much.

[polar owl]

what if you dowload the ones witth antivirus protaction

[fervent crag]

Probably still not recommended.

[polar owl]

ok

[granite quiver]

is there a nurburgring mod out there?

[modest turtle]

Here you go good sir!
https://youtu.be/bBluGKs1wjs?si=issnNFi9nYtxjPZK

[acoustic ice]

you don't need to buy mods, there's lots of amazing free ones, but if you wanted to pay for one it'd be like 3 euros and i'd get the gavril scout, cherrier picnic or there's one other Ibishu, the Signia i think?

[kindred moth]

I wan mondello update

Low key

[drowsy frost]

Its being worked on slowly, author has a ton of irl stuff going on but he's been working on an update fixing a ton of stuff

[kindred moth]

There’s gotta be a better way to trouble-shoot a mod than deep cleaning cache and reopening the game, right?

[drowsy frost]

Not really

[kindred moth]

Dang

[latent ivy]

but there will be new stuff on it, right?

[drowsy frost]

Theres some new content yes, but there's also alot of bug fixes which are taking up more time

[latent ivy]

dang

[green pier]

works fine just use ur common sense while downloading people cry about it because of leaked mods that are just models from other games anyway

[fathom thorn]

It works fine, yeah
But the mods are all garbage

[green pier]

not true 🤷‍♂️

[fathom thorn]

And leaked mods aren’t good to download
It goes against the original creators wishes

[green pier]

got plenty of mods off modland that are good quality, why would i spend money on a mod when they don’t even model half the stuff?

[fathom thorn]

Quality and realism isn’t on modland

Models can be great, but that means nothing if it’s barely realistic/a meshslap

[polar owl]

yes it is

[fathom thorn]

If it is, it’s probably re uploaded from the repo

[fathom thorn]

Send a screenshot of some examples

[green pier]

ur simply wrong 🤷‍♂️

plenty of good mods like i said

[fathom thorn]

Prove that I am wrong

[green pier]

takes 2 minutes to find a good quality mod on modland lmao

[fathom thorn]

What do you define as quality

[polar owl]

i dont know how to do it

[fathom thorn]

Like what

[green pier]

use ur eyes and literally look through the first few pages

[polar owl]

i have bugatti,bmws,ferraris,audis,toyotas,nissans,and more

[green pier]

ur just crying because it’s leaked

[fathom thorn]

Yes
Those are on modland
But they aren’t realistic or very good

[fathom thorn]

Prove to me that modland has high quality mods

Send screenshots of them

[drowsy leaf]

ill review the first mod on the front page

lets see what comes up

[polar owl]

yes they are some even have air bags

[drowsy leaf]

the airbags deploy unrealisticly

[polar owl]

not all but some its bbetter than nothing

[fathom thorn]

That isn’t all of what realism is

When I talk about realism I am talking about details, and realistic handling, and a realistic jbeam

[drowsy leaf]

also airbags are usless when there are no dummies in vanilla, and if youve got the modded dummies, guess what. they dont get affected by it

wrong background
the stock wheels are too big
only one stock configs. no trims or anything
the engine sounds come out of a 2004 game and are obscenly loud
no openable
shifter unporperly jbeamed
glowmaps suck
that engine bay is uh very bad
radiator is super bad
engine has modeled internals
glass damage is meh
weird underbody with 200bx suspension (but unproperly made fwd ofc)

final reveiew 2/10

oh engine is by default unmuffled

straight up a 200bx

good ol reuplaoding

@green pier heres your proof

i can review more if youd like

[latent ivy]

airbags are part of broken windshelid model

[drowsy leaf]

yep

[latent ivy]

so they deploy when windshelid is broken

[onyx widget]

(I'm not really sure if it should be here)

Here is a list of my cars' (mostly Cherrier) names ideas.
The reason why most of the names are like this, is because "Vivace", in music, is a tempo name.
If anybody wanted to use of these ideas, ask me.

[latent ivy]

we need opel zafira as roth ngl

[drowsy leaf]

bro got muted

dm me whatever you wanted to say

[worldly mural]

i just hate it when they do wrong background

like
why

[fathom thorn]

its annoying

atleast choose a good background, or one where the car is moving

[worldly mural]

i honestly dont want anything than the white background

[dense jungle]

fr

[unborn sun]

What's the significance of the license plate? It seems like it plays a bigger role than just a license plate? As far as the coding for a vehicle goes

[cyan drum]

lmao he went silent

[drowsy leaf]

what do you mean

a licence plate is just

[cyan drum]

that

[drowsy leaf]

a licence plate?

[fallow robin]

eggs and bacon

[drowsy leaf]

he sent a message and got automodded

[fathom thorn]

Average modland defender when called out:

[fallow robin]

God i hated this mod

[cyan drum]

his only source was trust me bro

[fathom thorn]

Yeah

[drowsy leaf]

@green pier bros lost

[fallow robin]

i hate when u bring up realism and children start talking about stuff that doesn't matter

[fathom thorn]

I was hoping he would post mods from the repo that were re uploaded

[fallow robin]

🤣

like why are you bringing up none functional airbags

[cyan drum]

the airbags aren't even realistic

[fallow robin]

thats not even realism those are just features

[cyan drum]

they don't even have their own jbeam structure and are just glowmaps

[drowsy leaf]

i mean he said "look at the first pages of modland" and i saw like 2 leaked shitmods and 2 reuploaded repo mods

[worldly mural]

airbags arent even airbags lmao
they are just like s t o n e

[fallow robin]

plus if you really want to see a mod with incredible "realism" features go download the herbie mod on the forums

but they wont do that because its not a supercar or jdm car

[cyan drum]

also

[drowsy leaf]

I WAS GONNA SHOW THAT

[fathom thorn]

All the people who want irl cars always want supercars or bmw/Mercedes/Tesla

[cyan drum]

those people are so predictable
"but I use modland because there are a lot of real cars"
"they're all terrible"
"then what are good pages for real cars?"
"beamng forums"
"eww no it doesn't have real cars"

[drowsy leaf]

or or
obscenly obscure 90s crap cars

[fallow robin]

they never bring up performance and handling when talking about realism either

[cyan drum]

or they don't know what that means

[unborn sun]

@drowsy leaf I just seen it in the files of the vehicles somewhere a while back I thought. So I assumed it was maybe something that made the vehicle more recognized by the console or something. So not necessarily super significant but necessary I guess?

[drowsy leaf]

no
licence plates are just that
they dont do anything

[cyan drum]

[fallow robin]

are you talking about the info file?

honestly they should be more mod reviews

[unborn sun]

@drowsy leaf got ya right on thanks. It was just a curiosity of mine lol

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @drowsy leaf

[fallow robin]

by people who actually know what they're talking about

[drowsy leaf]

it has airbags!1 1!!!
meanwhile its a non edited sunburst jbeam :c

[fathom thorn]

Realism to them is a decent model

[cyan drum]

I would do reviews but I am lazy as hell and I would be extremely biased anyways so not really a review

more like mod experiences

but I have square root of minus one knowledge for videos so

[drowsy leaf]

pov: my repo reviews
tho i try to be as unbiased as i can

[fallow robin]

honestly i would do it but im lazy too

making a yt vid is too much work

[worldly mural]

10/10 didnt even need to download it

[drowsy frost]

A c2 vette mod would be cool

[latent flame]

anyone know a mod to get a 4wd bolide

[tired gyro]

yo guys

il send soemthing

something no typos

[snow crystal]

well i was gonna ping someone, but they dont show up when i try to ping them...

@haughty cliff haha got it lmao

[snow crystal]

some fun with hydraulics xD

why in here? i modifired them, and look at the car

[cold pewter]

experimenting with baking light (Xenon & Halogen)

[fluid citrus]

https://aeroalfasrl.com/product/toyota-hilux-2010/ Id really enjoy making game content using this model

Its just hard to justify 149e.

[fathom thorn]

I don't think that model would work with beamng

[fluid citrus]

There is no doubt it would take a heap of manual work patching up the voids and decimating the polycount.

[fathom thorn]

It wouldn't be worth the money

[fluid citrus]

It would also help me custom design a tray as I daily one of these.

[vivid nebula]

how long would you say it takes to make a mod?

[fathom thorn]

Depends on what type of mod and how much you work on it

[fluid citrus]

It took me 6 months no life-ing for my first vehicle mod.

[fluid citrus]

You can't have a paid mod of an irl car correct?

[fathom thorn]

Technically it is illegal

And the community will hate you for it

Don't buy that 3d model, there will need lots of work getting it ready for beaming

[fluid citrus]

I have found a free alternative but it is a shell.

I have replicated the engine/drivetrain specs in automaiton

[vivid nebula]

Is it just one vehicle alone?

[fathom thorn]

What vehicle is it too

[wicked karma]

curious, probably the wrong channel to ask.. but is it just me or is there a lack of soundmods or am i just looking in the wrong places?

i know people have converted assetto corsa soundbanks over to this(unpacked/wav/ect.)- but it seems every car mod i use uses the default game sounds, including non repo mods.

• in the case i have one car with an engine that has the proper specs/sounds/modifications, BUT want to put it in the car it actually came in(but it's got a stock gavril truck engine in it). = how do i swap all the proper engine stuff over from the first car to the other that has stock gavril v8 sounds/modifications?(doesnt have to include 3d models).

• this is purely for my private use, i cant drive a car that sounds wrong since i'm aiming for maximum realism/most realistic experience.

[vivid nebula]

I guess any hatchback

[gloomy cedar]

can one of you find a mod bmw 750li 2009 please

[fathom thorn]

Why does everyone want Ultra specific mods

There's a couple BMW mods from that era on the beaming forums

No 7 series tho

[gloomy cedar]

bro please

i love the 7 series

[humble kindle]

Goodluck

[snow veldt]

Are there any good bmw mods on the beamng forum?

[slim pilot]

Take a look at it

[civic sage]

hilux

[latent ivy]

i have a very dumb question

would Snowrunner Maps be possible in Beamng?

[fierce kite]

id imagine itd just be getting the assests to a supported version for beamng and installing them, then applying all the textures probably, but ive never imported anything to beam before so idk

[modest turtle]

Probably could! It would just take a long time for creating it or someone creating it

[latent ivy]

aye

just thinking it would be fun as it would give new offroad challenges and also allow for more Beamng trucking

mostly since i cant turn any of me automation creations into Snowrunner

[modest turtle]

You can make your own challenges! You can go to jungle rock island or whatever youd like, and do some offroading! Offroading is a heavily overlooked aspect of the game!

[latent ivy]

aye. but then again. doing that the 50th time in jungle rock is gettin boring

[modest turtle]

Oh lol

My bad

[latent ivy]

you make a mod

[latent flame]

i cant

i fysically cant

[latent ivy]

physically*

well, you gotta make a drivetrain

and a transfer case

or find a mod that already did that

[fathom thorn]

There’s an AWD mod without a model

[latent ivy]

actually the AWD is fine, you just make it 4WD from that

never made a drivetrain but for sure there must be something in the jbeam for the power ratio to the front and rear

[last palm]

How do i know a certain mod is a mesh slap

And are there really good real car mods out there?

[latent ivy]

check the triangles with ctrl + t

[latent ivy]

yes, on the forums

[last palm]

These are all lore friendly but no doubt really good

Are the real car mods close to the quality of these

[latent ivy]

Anyone got a Porsche 924 3d Model

[green pier]

download area bfe

if u want crawling stuff

[drowsy leaf]

no

[green pier]

it’s free, when u load in the screen bugs and u have to press escape or the change camera button tho

[green pier]

ask in acmp

[latent ivy]

what

[green pier]

go to google.com

and type ACMP discord

it’s a discord full of car models and models of parts

can find pretty much anything in there

[latent ivy]

almost all of em are tried.... its boring. plus nearly none of the offroad maps are really interesting as its either a jungle route, some dunes or just a crawling map

none of them really scream adventure

[green pier]

🤷‍♂️ make ur own maps then

[latent ivy]

yeah no chance there

[dense jungle]

i know but i dont know what im doing

[latent ivy]

neither got the funds or equipment to even do that. and thats without the lack of modding knowledge

[latent ivy]

relatable

[green pier]

takes no funds

if you have a pc that runs beam you can learn to mod 🤷‍♂️

[mystic ginkgo]

kenemation should start putting yellow rear plates

[abstract mango]

Kenemation should stop doing mods

[fathom thorn]

All you would need is blender, the blender jbeam add on, and notepad++

getting the knowledge is the hardest part

[dense jungle]

honestly im doing mine rn and i feel confident in myself doing it, im so far using the documentation

[green pier]

true

[green pier]

there’s a youtube tutorial as of a few months ago

[frosty glade]

signia or rush?

[modest turtle]

rush

[tidal temple]

So I'm thinking of porting the Simpsons hit and run map to beamng. Are there any considerations to make with regards to the mesh or can it be one giant singular mesh?

[fathom thorn]

Depends which one you find cooler

[tidal temple]

ok cool I got it all imported into blender now

[modest turtle]

Why does that remind me of the carpets that had roads and stuff 😂

just like this 😅

[humble kindle]

Oh cool

[final hatch]

does anybody know how to download this mod? or is it private or maybe paid mod? i follow the download link and its just leads me to the owner's web mod

[cyan drum]

don't

it's a low quality paid meshslap

[final hatch]

ah thanks

[cyan drum]

I'd also recommend not using modland at all

[final hatch]

why not?

[cyan drum]

because it's the main source for low quality and leaked mods

[sour moon]

Plus most of the time it’s not safe

[final hatch]

ohh thank you

[snow veldt]

is there any decent bmw mods on the beamng forums?

[fathom thorn]

There's Atleast one iirc

[cold pewter]

experimenting v2

[wicked egret]

[quartz oxide]

I do kind of sorta modding the game but all those mods are not good that i use i use Worldofmods anyone got another site thats better?

you can add a plane and make it a shadow catcher to make it have shadows from the HDRI

[fallow robin]

too much detail where?

[latent ivy]

everywhere, whats the amount of faces?

[fallow robin]

nevrr!

[nimble valley]

that top speed run on youtube from 2017 is crazy. 457 kmh.

297k tris but i have a lower poly version so i dont really think it matters much

[latent ivy]

oh wow thats actually great

howd you get the references for the car?

like each part, hood and other things

[fallow robin]

i didn't model it

are there any rules against having the pre-9/11 twin towers in a map?

[fathom thorn]

I don’t know of any specific rules relating to that

[kindred moth]

k good

makes this much easier for me

[fathom thorn]

I would be wary about people doing the thing with a plane

[kindred moth]

yeah thats what i was worried about

might put up an invisable barrier with the public-release version

[fathom thorn]

What map are you making?

[fathom thorn]

Not a bad idea
No one would go up there anyways

Just the .dae and the 1462 material files that I don't want to map by hand

Is there some blender plugin I need?

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/levels/export_dae/ The documentation doesn't go into much detail

[cold pewter]

strange

everytime i export a fresh dae it always auto makes materials

but i do them myself

[tidal temple]

In blender I'm going to File > Export > Collada (.dae) I don't think blender would generate beamng specific files without some plugin?

I saw this https://wiki.beamng.com/Blender_Exporter_plugin.html but that only seems to be for vehicles and jbeam

I'm using blender 3.2.2, please could you check your version and if you have any beam spefic addons?

[cold pewter]

its nothing to do with blender its the game, but im not so sure why it does it and sometimes it dosent

[tidal temple]

Ok that's not a step I've done. Please could you explain the steps to try to get it to do so? I've been using the world editor to test the model. I put the .dae and all the material pngs in BeamNG.drive\0.30\levels\smallgrid and then I'm using the asset browser in the world editor to place it down

This is for a map fwiw

in BeamNG.drive\0.30\temp\levels\smallgrid I get a file shar.cdae but nothing else. In the game all the materials are missing

[cold pewter]

oh i never got models in through the world editor

so if its map making im sorry i cant help since i have no experience

[tidal temple]

ah alright no worries then. Thanks though

I'm thinking I'll write a program to parse the xml for the materials mapping in the .dae and generate the materials.json if there's no other way

If it generates a materials json for a vehicle maybe I can put the entire map mesh as a vehicle and run the game to generate it

[ornate aurora]

Does someone know how to fix this? I downloaded the satsuma from msc mod and every time I load it in the brake light texture is all grey no bumpers and sometimes no tires, no dashboard and so on, I’ve tried re downloading it like 5 times. I even tried downloading a older version but no

[tidal temple]

maybe clear the cache, or maybe the mod is just broken

[ornate aurora]

it worked, Thanks!

[tidal temple]

https://youtu.be/JLozcVaaHTc?t=615

In this video it looks like the game generates a main.materials.json file automatically when the model is placed with the world editor but my game wont do it

[halcyon wyvern]

Hi !
I'm desperate: the link for Sebring International Raceway is dead... Anyone have it and can share it?
THANKS !

[modest turtle]

Hey! I will try to look for something!

[tidal temple]

Ok YES I worked out how to map the xml in the .dae to materials.json

I guess I'll write a program to automate mapping the rest of the materials and then it should work

[modest turtle]

I couldnt really find anything

Sorry about that

😢

[fluid citrus]

I have already made one that might work 🙂

https://github.com/camubish/BeamNG-Modding-Tools

[tidal temple]

Wow thanks I'll check it out. I was just working on the code for a program to do so but this might save a ton of time

[lyric cedar]

[fluid citrus]

It works on the concept that the texture file names are simular to the material slots for the models

[tidal temple]

Yeah I just saw that, not 100% sure its going to work in that case

the attribute of the effect and file name are a bit different

[fluid citrus]

You can modify the difflib function if it is too strict

say your slot is called "kiwiki24_bmp_png" and the image file name is "kiwiki24_color_1234.png" It should match

[tidal temple]

I wrote out the basic functionality In my implementation. It should get everything

[onyx dirge]

If you're using Principled BSDF in Blender it would take only a few minutes to script an exporter into Blender

[tidal temple]

I'm guessing that requires knowing python, or can you write c# extensions for blender?

[onyx dirge]

import bpy

print("{") # json opener

def get_mat_texture(mat):
    if mat.node_tree:
        bsdf_node = mat.node_tree.nodes.get('Principled BSDF')
        if bsdf_node:
            input = bsdf_node.inputs["Base Color"]
            if len(input.links) > 0:
                link_node = link.from_node
                texture = link_node.image.name
                return texture
    return None

for mat in bpy.data.materials:
    print(f"\"{mat.name}\":{{")
    print(f"\t\"name\":\"{mat.name}\",")
    print(f"\t\"mapTo\":\"{mat.name}\",")
    print(f"\t\"class\":\"Material\",")
    print(f"\t\"Stages\": [")
    print("\t\t{") # first stage opener
    
    image_name = "" if get_mat_texture(mat) is None else get_mat_texture(mat)
    print(f"\t\t\t\"baseColorMap\": \"{image_name}\",") 
    print("\t\t},") # first stage closer
    print("\t\t{},{},{},") # last three stages
    print(f"\t],")
    print("},")

print("}") # json closer

In theory running that in the scripting tab should get you a useable json output in the console

[tidal temple]

Wow thanks I'll give that a try

This is the python console in blender right?

[onyx dirge]

yeah

[tidal temple]

I'll give it a try, this might have just saved me hours of work

[fluid citrus]

@onyx dirge Hello. If your not busy, I was wondering if youd like to help with a python beam related issue?

Beams of Norway is a BeamNG level generator. You can check it out on beamMP. It takes Norwegian Geo-data (terrain, roads, buildings, etc) and auto generates a level for a given area of Norway. Created by @silk dirge

I am involved with this project and I was wondering if you could be interested 🙂

[tidal temple]

Hmm I get:

  File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:/genm.py", line 24, in <module>
    image_name = "" if get_mat_texture(mat) is None else get_mat_texture(mat)
  File "D:/genm.py", line 11, in get_mat_texture
    link_node = link.from_node
NameError: name 'link' is not defined```

ah probably because I'm not using Principled BSDF? I did look that up but I'm not exactly sure what it is. Something for doing PBRs

[onyx dirge]

Oops that line should be
link_node = input.links[0].from_node
But yeah it's meant for principled, what shader are you using?

[tidal temple]

it looks like it might be using it already actually

I'm porting a map from another game so I've imported the models into blender, which had the materials associated with them. It will be whatever was default or defined in the model

[onyx dirge]

Should be good to go after replacing that lin ethen

[tidal temple]

Yeah it looks like it generates it 🙂 Just need to work out how to redirect that output toa file becuase its long

I was hoping I could just doexec(compile(open("D:/genm.py").read(), "D:/genm.py", 'exec')) > "output.txt" but that doesn't work in the blender/python console

I found this method, just requires restarting blender

[onyx dirge]

import bpy
file = open("e:\\folder1\\folder2\\test.txt", "w")

file.write("{\n") # json opener

def get_mat_texture(mat):
    if mat.node_tree:
        bsdf_node = mat.node_tree.nodes.get('Principled BSDF')
        if bsdf_node:
            input = bsdf_node.inputs["Base Color"]
            if len(input.links) > 0:
                link_node = input.links[0].from_node
                texture = link_node.image.name
                return texture
    return None

for mat in bpy.data.materials:
    file.write(f"\"{mat.name}\":{{\n")
    file.write(f"\t\"name\":\"{mat.name}\",\n")
    file.write(f"\t\"mapTo\":\"{mat.name}\",\n")
    file.write(f"\t\"class\":\"Material\",\n")
    file.write(f"\t\"Stages\": [\n")
    file.write("\t\t{\n") # first stage opener
    
    image_name = "" if get_mat_texture(mat) is None else get_mat_texture(mat)
    file.write(f"\t\t\t\"baseColorMap\": \"{image_name}\",\n") 
    file.write("\t\t},\n") # first stage closer
    file.write("\t\t{},{},{},\n") # last three stages
    file.write(f"\t],\n")
    file.write("},\n")

file.write("}\n") # json closer
file.close()

Alternatively here's the code modified for file writing

[tidal temple]

Absolutely amazing thank you! It has generated all ~16K lines

I'll copy it to the main.materials.json and see if the materials load in-game

[onyx dirge]

Oh shoot I wonder if it'll want the "version":1.5

Oh yeah it will if you intend to use the newer material system

non PBR uses "colorMap", while version 1.5 (PBR) uses "baseColorMap"

[tidal temple]

nothing find and replace can't fix

[oblique nimbus]

Hey, does anyone know how to customize vehicle sounds?

I want to make the bus sounds more realistic, and put these kneeling sounds in

I don't know where the place to modify the sounds are though.

[obtuse radish]

Anyone know of any good trailer mods? And for some reason the RV mod for the H series always has no texture issues. How can I fix it?

[fathom thorn]

There's a fix for that mod in the forums thread

There's a trailer pack with a polish name on the forums, and another modern trailer on there too

I forget the name of both sadly

[tidal temple]

@onyx dirge Thank you!! materials are properly mapped now 😄

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @onyx dirge

[onyx dirge]

😄

[tidal temple]

I wonder how hard it is to convert the materials into PBR ones, would look a lot better

[onyx dirge]

Inserting that should make it use the PBR model
file.write("\t\"version\": 1.5\n")

[tidal temple]

But do I need to do anything with the materials themself?

[onyx dirge]

version 1.5 = PBR

[obtuse radish]

can you send me the link? if its not a hassle

[tidal temple]

they're still the same old textures exported from the simpsons hit and run

[onyx dirge]

Oh wait I see what you mean
Art stuff is a bit out of my expertise area, but afaik for PBR to look correct it has to be designed for and not automatically converted in some fashion

[fathom thorn]

You can find it yourself
It's not hard

[queen vapor]

using the world editor, you can easily switch materials from 1.0 to 1.5

[tidal temple]

That looks very useful thank you. Will give it a go on the materials

[fluid citrus]

Also. Somone did a remaster on SH&R

[queen vapor]

that said hit and run was designed long before pbr was ever a thing, so you will likely need to edit or make new textures to get the most out of pbr

[tidal temple]

I saw that, I ended up not watching the videos becuase they said the game will never released so I'd rather just not watch than watch it and then want to play it

I think most of the textures are going to need reworking in some capcity

super low res

It's as if anistropic filtering is off but its on 16x always

[fluid citrus]

https://www.mediafire.com/file/d85ev25c15e9opy/HD+Textures+V1-5.lmlm Someone made a HD texture pack

[tidal temple]

If this is the one I'm thinking of its only for level1 which is the starting area

[fluid citrus]

Perhaps you could stick with the retro charm

[tidal temple]

there's one called "Snowblind's UHD Texture Pack v2.0" for the gamecube version of the game, maybe those can be converted

[fluid citrus]

I have been working on recreating Halflife ep2 in beam

[tidal temple]

Nice

[fluid citrus]

I have finished the car
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dcm1fian4kpowumx6ntpr/CB_HL2Jalopy.zip?rlkey=anxmu0gds5hmke4fbzio3byfb&dl=0

It needs a few minor tweaks so it isnt in its full release state. I plan on releasing the maps along with the car

When the game gets remastered ill upgrade the textures too

[tidal temple]

That is cool

I want to try to port the cars from hit and run too, that would be fun

Think I'm missing some sections of the map

[fluid citrus]

The levels in the game works in tiled stages so i had to join them and create a height map

then convert all the assets so they have levels of detail

[cold pewter]

broomer

[tidal temple]

The beam skybox looks so weird on this map. Gotta see if I can get the hit and run one working in the game

[faint pebble]

Anyone know a really underrated mod with a lot of tuning to it?

I’m interested to download one for the tuning lol

[fathom thorn]

Not underrated, but rk's highly customizable engines allow for an insane amount of engine tuning

[faint pebble]

Ah
As long as it’s got tuning then I’m interested
I’ll definitely go have a look and download it
Thanks! 😎👍

i have a question is there any mods for 0.23 that allow cars to split in half?

[worldly mural]

why are you.. on 0.23??

[wispy maple]

the only verson i can run and install without my laptop having no memory since its 17gb and the latest is like 40 or smth

[latent ivy]

its the 32 bit version in the beta versions I think

[worldly mural]

oh yeah that

well i dont think there are any mods for that

[wispy maple]

it is but alot of people think its weird to play that version but i LOVE 0.28 though but idk why but my laptop cant install cause its too big even though ive installed it before

[worldly mural]

maybe remove things that you dont use anymore

[wispy maple]

i did

[fathom thorn]

How much storage does you laptop have

[wispy maple]

i think 4gb i know its a asus laptop with a AMD anthlon gold, and AMD radeon graphics (thats all i really know from it)

[fathom thorn]

Total storage

[wispy maple]

117gb ig

[latent ivy]

yeah thats basically nothing

you can download 1 game and windows with it running fine, 2 more softwares and its done for

[wispy maple]

128gb sorry

[wispy maple]

i have tons of games and i still run beamng drive (lowest graphics) with stable 60-80fps

[latent ivy]

its not about the fps I meant the storage

you can do nothing with 128gb

[wispy maple]

oh my bad

[latent ivy]

I got my hard drive yesterday and I already used 800gb from it

[wispy maple]

dang

[fathom thorn]

I have 512gb and it isn’t enough

[latent ivy]

same for my ssd

[magic peak]

since at this point im overdoing the toturial car, should i do a tubular chassis?

[inland quest]

512 is all I have and I still got room for stuff I just haven't had a chance to upgrade my laptop

[acoustic ice]

are the people who made the cjd mod around?

[latent ivy]

dont understand how, you probably dont have any software on it

I need photoshop, illustrator, unity, visual studio, fusion 360, prusa slicer, epic games, 5 versions of blender, substance painter and much more

[inland quest]

Oh it's close don't worry bout that I just know how to manage everything

yo is there a modder that can make a software that lets you port the game wrench cars to beamng

Is there any good mod for a Lotus Exige or Elise

[fathom thorn]

I don’t think anyone will ever make specific software for that

[fiery patio]

damn it'

[fathom thorn]

You’ll have to do it by getting the models and textures into beam, then jbeaming it

[fiery patio]

idk how to do that

what is the name of this ramp mod?

none

it's made by themselves

it isn't a public mod, it's made by themselves in the world editor most likely

[graceful pasture]

no like its a made by the devs its in the game already its a ramp

[fathom thorn]

There isn’t a ramp mod that looks like that

There are ramp mods tho

[graceful pasture]

you can configure height and width

Probably as much as it costs to buy an actual forester if it’s from a reputable modder

[hushed rover]

does anyone know a mod to add really grippy tires I can't find any

[fathom thorn]

I think there’s one that’s called extra grip tires

Search up grip on the repo and you should find a couple

[neon magnet]

remember that too much grip will make u flip

[brisk swallow]

I learnt that the hard way, 1500hp scintilla and 8x normal grip tires lmao

[neon magnet]

the hestia on race tires and natural aspiration is enough to go flippy

[latent ivy]

2002 Foresters go from 2.8k up to 230k depending on which one it is. 😭
That's quite the variety

[drowsy leaf]

dev quality stuff takes like 3-5 months so paying a designer+coder+modeler for that 2 months that would be like 10k

estimated ofc

(and that is if someone even wants to)

[latent ivy]

There was a guy doing it for 90$ 2 years ago on real non lore-friendly cars. And crash physics were quite damn good. Up to 200$ for bodykits and engines

So that's quite the difference from what I thought.
I still expected like 400$ and up.

But didnot know it took that much effort

[drowsy leaf]

meshslap

aka taking a vanilla car, changing the 3d model for a ripped forza model

that is the furthest from dev quality

[latent ivy]

Yes understandable.

I just thought wrong.
Since it didnot spike much. Unlike most mashslaps

[fluid citrus]

People rant about the reliability even tho they suffer the same flaws as any other Toyota diesel. The injectors work overtime, all the time and they need replacement after 150 to 200,000 km or else you will kill the engine. it cost 8k not including the fitment.

Yeah

Some are on the repo, and some aren’t too

[latent ivy]

ok sry for being oblivious, thx!

[ocean folio]

the jungle rock's hillclimb is better, potholes make it more interesting for streetcars

[oblique berry]

im'a try and hit them all at least once. thanks for the heads up

[lapis orchid]

bro this game is 16+

[fathom thorn]

?

[blissful depot]

Quatsch! Das Spiel ist für jedes Alter

[patent wing]

anyone got a good quality wheel pack?

[languid timber]

Tell that to me, and every video you see of a kid with a pre-puberty voice recording themselves playing this game at <10 FPS

[lapis orchid]

true

[lapis orchid]

im not german

[red temple]

wich program do you use for modding this cras??

[burnt knoll]

Is there a way to force a default license plate on ai/traffic spawned cars? Trying to get them all to spawn with crash test dummies

[wind scarab]

How?

[lapis orchid]

no im wondering how it is

[wind scarab]

I guess to do with the idea of cars crashing

crashing usually means people dying and stuff so ig that’s how they rate it

[pearl laurel]

can someone help? im trying to add my .dae model but its invisible

[elder python]

As a question, does anyone know if there are any mods that have the 4.0L AMC 242 I6? I'm tryin' to make the 1992 Jeep Wrangler Sahara from Jurassic Park at the moment, and want to know if anyone has made it. (I know there is a 4.0L I6 in game, but I would want to have one that is more accurate specs wise.)

[proud skiff]

anyone know of any good trans and converter modds good for like 4000hp?? ive got a 4.9 second etk kseries but the trans is really holding me back

[nimble valley]

Beamng successor? Maybe not lol.

Pretty cool deformation though.

And i posted in wrong channel damn

[fathom thorn]

"Beam successor"

💀

[vivid tulip]

what are some good free american 'land-yacht' mods?

[plush light]

just wondering y'all how do you model ur cars? I wanna make a racing game and I am having lots of trouble modeling cars

[vivid tulip]

with blender or 3ds max

[plush light]

right i use blender but any tips on actual modeling? I have lots of trouble... sometimes my vertexes go everywhere... should i use smooth shading?

[vivid tulip]

uhhh i make hammer maps idk

[plush light]

oh lol

[patent silo]

i need a server with irl cars and a good map to drive on

[pearl cedar]

a

[charred girder]

im not skilled enough but i want a mod that adds ragdolls to the cars and gives them their own vitals to simulate car crashes more realistically

this might be a thing

[pearl cedar]

im pretty sure there is a mod like that

[fathom thorn]

There’s a couple crash test dummy mods

[torn pebble]

Bro why even car mods are with fake names

[cyan drum]

because people dickride real cars too much

[fathom thorn]

Because irl cars can’t be on the repo
And lore cars are cool
Plus irl cars don’t fit with the cars beam currently has

[torn pebble]

Is there any external (non official) repo?

[fathom thorn]

The beamng forums would work

[nimble valley]

licensing is too expensive for small company like beamng

[fathom thorn]

There’s also irl cars with lore friendly badging
The fps trapez (fso Polonez) and the Hirochi Mistral (90s Mitsubishi Mirage/Colt)

[nimble valley]

otherwise all cars would be real life cars

[torn pebble]

I see

Thank you guys

[modest turtle]

Hey guys, I was playing beammp when I stumbled upon an BMW F80 mod, with working radios and that cought my attention, then I did some research and I stumbled upon Modify Modelings, is his mods good?

Here's a picture of modify modeling's modland page

and yes I know modland is bad, but I'm wondering if its actually good?

[fathom thorn]

Overall it’s not good
But there’s probably a couple decent mods on there

[modest turtle]

Yeah I downloaded all to see if its good 😂

Probably not the best idea to download mods from midland, but I did anyways

[cyan drum]

generic bmw meshslap remaster number 388429842

[worldly mural]

these bmw mods have so much "remasters"

[modest turtle]

lmaoo

I downloaded all and they sucked

some had airbags (which are bad)

horrible jbeam

the worst crashes ever

the only good thing is probably the radio, (author has good taste ngl)

The only mod I liked out of all of them is the F80, because I drove it irl so I have some connection lmaoo

[hollow shale]

Hey guys, does anyone know if there any mod that adds these vehicles to beamng drive?

[cyan drum]

none

[dim palm]

Is there any SP Rockbasher mods?

I looked on Google but I cant seem to find anything

[raw jasper]

Hi Everyone, is there an electronics mod (electronic stability /skid control) which can be used on OEM mods?

[glacial gyro]

what is the fastest modded car i can find, (please not automation because it just looks bad)

[latent ivy]

i guess no one knows that, cuz we dont care about speed but about fun

[fathom thorn]

Gavril vertex with an engine it has
And any mod that allows you to customize engines in an extreme way

[lime ether]

Anyone know good crane mods

Or like

Construction vehicles

[ornate aurora]

does anyone know if someone ever tried making a volvo amazon or pv mod, would be really cool

[latent ivy]

CJD mood has some amazing engines and tuning options

[noble charm]

meos drag mod

has a 4 speed automatic drag transmission w a trans brake

also comes w a lot of other things like adjustable wheelie bars, drag suspension parts, parachutes, new wheels/tires etc

[proud skiff]

So thats the mod im using now but my car makes so much power its nlowing through the converter and i cant tune the gearing. Meos is an amazing mod. Im just using it and the 500ci bigblock v8. I just really need a better trans

[noble charm]

weird, ive build cars upwards of 3k hp and havent had issues

[proud skiff]

Last i checked it it was around 4000 but ive up the nitrous since then lol. Whats your best et?? I ran a lucky 4.8 yesterday but its consistent 4.9s around 285-290

Some how no wheelie bar, it just doesnt wheelie lol. I atruggle to keep the front wheels down on my 200bx around 3000hp. Meos trans works perfectly with it and its been 5.9s

[proud skiff]

I may just need to learn how to make mods 😅

[elder python]

I wish.

I really wish there were.

[hollow shale]

Me too homie, me too...

It's boring to use wentward with the articulation to do the cliff scene

[potent orchid]

i think i scratched it a lil

[thorn tapir]

How would you create a rotation point in a jbeam? Obviously connecting to only one node would allow rotation, but then has no lateral stability? For example, being able to turn skis . Or having something like a bike handle be able to turn including the nodes. Is there a node equivalent to the props functions?

Very sad that this map is outdated, it looks extremely fun… and beamng doesn’t have much rallycross maps

[median karma]

can you send the link?

[latent ivy]

Anyone know a good bus mod?

Not like those city bus

Coach bus

[jagged hare]

anyone know a mod with a racing livery for the pigeon?

[latent ivy]

You shouldnt use modland, its full of crappy poor optimized mods with viruses

[pearl laurel]

guys how do i make a flexbody?

[faint pebble]

7.5 mod
FYI It's the Ibishu Serenity
(Sorry about potato pc 🥔+💻)

[hallow canyon]

Hey does anyone have this mod ?

I really need it

😭

[fallow robin]

dont waste your time

[quaint hinge]

when will workshop be added to steam?

[fathom thorn]

Steam workshop won’t be used for mods ever unless something changes

[dense jungle]

the repository exists anyway

[quaint hinge]

but not all mods are there and they have to be downloaded from other sites

[dense jungle]

if by other sites you mean modland and worldofmods or anything sketchy, its best to avoid them anyway

[fathom thorn]

That’s just how it works
The repo can’t have irl cars due to copyright

[fathom thorn]

Currently the repo has quality standards, and an approval system
With the workshop someone would be able to create a mod that overwrite tons of files and stuff like that

[jagged hare]

anyone have a good mercedes amg gt?

[cyan drum]

it doesn't exist

[woven oasis]

alyo

does anyone have a good renault twingo mk1 mod?

[jagged hare]

nah srry

[deep sierra]

anyone know of a good Nurburgring map?

[mighty basin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBluGKs1wjs&t=1s link in description

[drowsy leaf]

the devs dont like how the workshop works (for mod approval/moderation) so they use the repo system

not like itd do anything differently

[jagged hare]

can anyone here make custom skins?

[woven lark]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcCX7JafZhA a tire smoke mod i made for the game a year ago, thoughts?

[robust jolt]

could anyone here please suggest me a mod that allows me to ovverride the values of parts (like suspension heith etc) without going into the game's files?

thank you

[fathom thorn]

Agent Y has a mod that allows you to change the strength of cars

[raw dagger]

is there a map mod from the balkans or from eastern europe (except for poland and russia)?

[pseudo egret]

Are there any other plane mods to download?

[elder python]

For me I just used the Stambecco to make a "makeshift" RV from The Lost World.

I'm honestly surprised how there is a lack of Jurassic Park mods for BeamNG, considering how many iconic scenes from the films have included vehicles.

Like, all we really have is the Beamic Roamer, the Beamic Park skin for the Hopper that's in game, and then the Beamic Park Hopper mod that is now Outdated.

[lone basin]

Does anyone know where I would be able to find a mod for a new style tacoma

[inland spire]

what 3rd party mod sights do yall recommend?

[cyan drum]

none, all are bad

[fathom thorn]

Beamng.com is the best site

[neon magnet]

only*

[midnight gorge]

Strato HMX 920

[midnight gorge]

no

[midnight gorge]

best I can do is Polish Roads, I don’t think there’s any other Eastern European map mods

unless you count mods from third party websites

which may contain malware

(especially mods from modland or world of mods)

[hardy mesa]

Hello people. I have some questions about BeamNG.

1. Is there any BeamNG SDK that could be integrated with Unity in C#? I have found nothing so far, but it is still worth to ask.
2. I have found BeamNGpy on Github. It is Python api for BeamNG.tech . But can BeamNG tech run on Android? Or is it PC-only like the steam page says? I saw BeamNG on Android, does it support Python API?
   Thanks!

[drowsy leaf]

An SDK for what? The physics? In that case no

Beamng on Android is just an app to control beamng with your phone (emulated controller basically)

[hardy mesa]

Well, let's say I have a crane model in Unity on Android phone, can I somehow steer it with BeamNG?

If not via C# SDK, then maybe somehow via API?

[drowsy leaf]

Beamngs libraries I think are only for beamng

The mobile app connects to beamng

[hardy mesa]

Ok thank you. Then, maybe... @drowsy leaf do you know how much control we have over beamNG via beamNG API? Can we create our own car model from scratch in Blender, like a crane, that has extra joints we control? I have this done in Unity, is it possible to do in BeamNG? With a custom controls like adjust forklift angle, extend arm, etc

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @drowsy leaf

[drowsy leaf]

You can create your own car in beam yes

[hardy mesa]

This is my project I have did in C# in Unity and I wonder if it would be possible to somehow run it in BeamNG

[drowsy leaf]

No

[hardy mesa]

@drowsy leaf is it possible to stream video screen from beamNG to phone? So it feels like we play on Android? Still... this could be laggy. Or stream Pos/Rot/Scale data of bodies?

or is it feasible

[minor wyvern]

Steam Link?

[hardy mesa]

Sorry? I don't want to make a video stream as in youtube/twitch, I am referring to using BeamNG on PC as "physics engine" for Android app

you know, TCP socket, send Vector3, Quaternion, etc data

[drowsy leaf]

You'd have to adjust to beamngs physics system

Which is incredibly hard to msdter

And unless you use any external app to stream your PC screen to your phone , you can't do that in beam natively

[hardy mesa]

Ok ok, I have used engines like PhysX and HAvok in the past with C++, but that's totally different thing

Ok thank you @drowsy leaf , it seems that using BeamNG for that is not feasible, especially that my client would most likely prefer it to run just on the phone....

[drowsy leaf]

Do you know that child's toy that's magnet sticks and metsll balls that you use to create structures

Well beam is that but more compex

[hardy mesa]

So there is no licensing for this engine, you can't pay like you do, idk, for Havok engine or NVidia PhysX and get license and SDK?

Of course I mean a reasonable price, like 100$ - 500$

Not 10 000 $

[drowsy leaf]

No since then the whole point of beamng being a super good physics sim would just fall apart

Since everyone would use beam phisics

• actually coding the phisics is hell

This is my best proyect to date
I've had to adjust the suspension from other cars since coding your own is excesivsly hard, I've had to hand edit most of the car chassis code and more

I've also had to code the doors opening and such

[hardy mesa]

In my project, I have a crane model in blender and I can control arm length, arm angle, etc, with sliders, and client wanted to add BeamNG physics damage system for that, but now I see it's not a feasible idea.

I think I will create my own simplified version of damage system in Unity

I will just use few breakable joints, split model in Blender, make them break when a certain force is applied

maybe do a simple fake vertex deform of Mesh in Unity, as I done already

Btw the way BeamNG works is actually very neat, as far as I know, it's called verlet integration

I did verlet integration once in 2D and it worked relatively good, but I cant imagine doing that in 3D, it would take years to develop

[drowsy leaf]

dont get leaked mods

[drowsy leaf]

bro deleted the message

(he was asking for a discord for leaked mods)

[neon magnet]

rip

[dense jungle]

tfw you work on modelling and doing the jbeam of your mod, following the documentation thinking that it's implementing properly and it just doesn't

[latent ivy]

bruh

imagine using leaked mods

[drowsy leaf]

huh

whats your issue

[dense jungle]

to be honest, i don't know what the issue is, it showed no errors or anything, unless theres something to do with the beam or im missing the json and tried to import it prematurely

[drowsy leaf]

what are you trying to do
