[latent ivy]

he has a link in the description

search on his other videos too, might only be the jbeam

[wet hare]

ah

you download the 3d models and u can use them in beam ng?

[latent ivy]

no, you download the 3d models, make a jbeam and then use in beamng

[wet hare]

the hell is jbeam lmao i just started seeing this

is it like a converter

for the 3d

to jbeam file

[latent ivy]

no

[wet hare]

then how do u do it

[latent ivy]

you write it

[wet hare]

per download?

[latent ivy]

what? no?

its a file, you make it once, then you import it into the game

[wet hare]

do u have the file

[covert lance]

does anyone know what mod these headlights are from?

[empty isle]

japan car?

[wet hare]

do u have the file for that

[latent ivy]

I cant make a file for every car you want to get, it takes months to make one

[wet hare]

which cars are avalible to use without the code

[latent ivy]

none, jbeams make the car work

[wet hare]

are the hammers avalible without the j beam

like where it crushes the cars

[covert lance]

google

[latent ivy]

no, literally everything works with jbeams, thats how they got collisions

mods usually come with jbeams

[dim wave]

anyone have or know of any 200bx simple sponsor skin mods?

I have a few but the decals dont appear over the K racing bodykit or they simply suck

[unreal oracle]

Does anyone here use the Oldstlye parts for the Gravil D-Series by AR126b

[cedar thunder]

how can i mod hydraulics onto the barstow

[old dove]

hirochi something

[mortal pendant]

i do, the mod is breaking because the creator doesn’t keep it uptodate

[unreal oracle]

Everytime I spawn in one, the truck's doors break. Would that be consided breaking?

[mortal pendant]

yeah

[tame egret]

can someone help, the game says it can't read this file cause of a problem near line 13

[mortal pendant]

it could be fixed adjusting the connecting node strangth in one of the .jbeam files either in the mods body.jbeam or the doors.jbeam if it has a doors .jbeam

[old dove]

hirochi something other

[mortal pendant]

so look for something called beamstrangth or nodestrangth

& increase the value number

[unreal oracle]

What are they called in the files? I found other that have things like "d35" in the name so I'm not if that's the mod or the base game.

[low fulcrum]

You should change

[["suv_intake_v8", ["suv_engine"]],

With

["suv_intake_v8", ["suv_engine"]],

[tame egret]

thanks, that fixed it

[lyric cedar]

[mortal pendant]

open your mod folder in the mods manager then unpacked>pickup_addon_ar162b>vehicles>pickup>AR162b_jbeam>oldstyle_parts, then i think pickup_doors_F_oldstyle use notepad++ to edit the connecting node strength might be where it says //door hinge but im not sure

[mortal pendant]

or where it says beamlong bound, create backup of the original door jbeam just incase

it could be anyone of the ones marked it black too

[unreal oracle]

Do I increase the strength to a certain number?

[mortal pendant]

yeah experiment with each one until you find the right one that holds the door close

[left wagon]

I’d be willing to help fix the Addon

if I had an opportunity that is

[cedar thunder]

what do i change/add to the folder itself to make it appear in parts menu? (if anyone is willing to check it out)

i have no clue what any of it means ive just gone off of straight foward things and the documentation

and a fillman video

i also used the hydro jbeam from the grand marshal

[rugged nacelle]

when can we expect a hot coffee mod?

[latent ivy]

looking good

[latent ivy]

My last texture was a flop but I'm going all out this time

Working on the sunburst

(Based off a real wrap)

Yes I'm aware of the line a little curved (It's wrapping around the rear fender)

I might redo it

[livid oasis]

What do you think of my custom NSW Australia-themed motorway overpass? I'm really happy with the results! The textures are from West Coast, USA. The model was made from scratch by me in Blender 3.5 in less than an hour!

[magic peak]

guys where can i find the original e34 5series mod? i got a modland mod at the time that i didnt knew anything about modding but now i want the real thing

[magic peak]

its going great keep going

[livid oasis]

Thanks!

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @magic peak (current: #255 - 4)

[livid oasis]

Doing pretty well there!

[livid oasis]

My modelling skills have really improved in the past two years. I went from failing at making a simple bridge model to making a really realistic full-PBR one in less than an hour!

[patent trout]

how do i add ui apps mod to the ui apps thing?

[fringe hinge]

looking really good so far bro 👍

[livid oasis]

Cool! Thanks!

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @fringe hinge (current: #616 - 1)

[magic peak]

what is going on with the uv on this car? is this caused by an external car (like the white wheels but with the gt86) or is it with this car?

[drowsy leaf]

outdated mod

[magic peak]

do you think its worth to update it/adapt it to lore? (with creators allowance)

[drowsy leaf]

no

[magic peak]

after the elan ill maybe do something with that bmw era tho, i like the e92

[latent ivy]

i don't think it's made for PBR
the mod looks like its older the 0.24

[magic peak]

i used to work in like 2 versions prior i used it at that time

[glad smelt]

guys hi i wanna mod my game and i want some like oldschool bodykit stance and livery type mods in my game for customization y'all got suggestions ?

[fathom thorn]

It used materials from the old etks

[patent trout]

how do i add a mod for the ui apps into the ui apps thing?

[ocean mauve]

https://documentation.beamng.com/getting_started/user_interface/#:~:text=Adding new Apps,add it to your layout.

[patent trout]

ik but it doesnt tell me how to add one that i downloaded from the website

[ocean mauve]

Same thing, both vanilla and modded ones should be in the same list

[patent trout]

what?

[ocean mauve]

Escape > UI Apps > + Add App > And select the app you want to add from the list

[patent trout]

ik but i mean add things i downloaded from the website, i want to add them to my ui apps

[ocean mauve]

You mean install the mod?

[patent trout]

i have downloaded a ui apps mod and i want to add it to the ui apps thing

[ocean mauve]

If the mod was installed correctly, you can add the UI app to your UI by doing this 👆

[patent trout]

no i want to add a ui apps mod that i downloaded into my ui apps files, so how do i do it

[ocean mauve]

Install the mod in your mods folder
https://documentation.beamng.com/tutorials/mods/installing-mods/#manual-installation

Then, while you're in-game, do:
Escape > UI Apps (top bar) > + Add App (green button) > And select the app you want to add from the list

It will already automatically be in that list, there is nothing else you have to 'add' or do to get it in there

[latent flame]

anyon e have a race car mod? i have carbonworks and scintilla GT3

but it just isnt cutting it

[latent ivy]

Miovi Md98

[latent flame]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/miovi-stella-decebalus-rex-md98.95045/ this one?

[latent ivy]

yes

[ocean mauve]

Ah yes recommending your own mods

[latent flame]

cant even download it

[latent flame]

can u recomend any good ones?

[latent ivy]

who wouldn't want a dacia and a ferrari at the same time?

[ocean mauve]

There is a pinned list with good mods, but I'm not sure of any that are specifically race cars
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m6LWqKHIKGoYEheC4NhJqspYnE3TkMvgYClABfjYsbs/edit

[fathom thorn]

There’s the carbonworks F4

[ocean mauve]

Ah right, and formula ibishu too

[latent flame]

carbonworks underrated

[latent ivy]

90's ETK K-series

[ocean mauve]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/carbonworks-f4.27561/
https://www.beamng.com/resources/formula-ibishu.27380/

[latent ivy]

also KLJP

and Bolide evoluzione

[fathom thorn]

Yeah KLJP has some jtcc cars

[tacit eagle]

do fires actually have any use other than:

• breaking beams and destroying nodes
• making combustion engines (But not electric engines) fail
  ?!?

actually this got me wondering how do explosions from the me 262's bombs and the alike even work in beamng

are the me 262's bombs just shrapnel being thrown outwards or is there an actual blast effect?

[magic peak]

I see so its an easy fix

[latent ivy]

also Scintilla GTB

[ocean mauve]

Based

[latent flame]

yhats a super car

not a race car

[latent ivy]

TwiXeR's 930

Group 5 Pessima

Bolide expansion pack

[fathom thorn]

That’s probably not a very good mod

[latent ivy]

why

[latent ivy]

Looks cool but isn't good functionally

[calm ivy]

power

[kind sun]

Do you have some good sh|t mods?

[fathom thorn]

Wdym

[latent ivy]

I think he wants a mod with a high quality shit prop

[calm ivy]

trust me

put in your repo folder i need feedback

[glossy heron]

Hey folks, my friends and I are soing race time trials

Wanna know if there are any good racemaps?

[cold pewter]

[wild gust]

Looks really good but car body is super fragile and some jagged edges when crashed

[brazen cypress]

Does anyone have a good chevy Tahoe or gmc Yukon mod

[calm ivy]

no but, ive got this

[brazen cypress]

I-

Th-

Thats the best thing ive ever seen

[calm ivy]

File for it’s right above

[calm ivy]

This

[brazen cypress]

I just wanted a bigger/newer suv😭

[quartz sierra]

Oh wow, I just realized how there have been absolutely no submissions for the previous modding contest.

Big L on such unfortunate scheduling.

[drowsy leaf]

theres been 1 normal mod and 1 automation mod

[formal slate]

Guys I just found something weird with the AE86 mod

So the ae86 mod here has an initial D variant right?

but instead of black rims i get yellow rims

[ocean mauve]

Submission date has been pushed back to Feb 29th, so more people could enter if they wanted to 🤷

[grave urchin]

Whos bored and wanna make a car

[tacit eagle]

does anyone know if anyone has made a constant speed unit before? Kinda like a CVT but for aircraft but it doesnt control the RPM of the engine, instead it controls the gear ratio to match the engine RPM, which is specified by the user on a seperate axis

[grave urchin]

Wish i can get in contact with the dude who was working on this 😦

Want one so bad

[mossy frigate]

Are there beamng cars that have a transfercase that’s 2wd by default but switches to 4wd when there’s no traction?

[bleak panther]

the variant you're looking for is "tofu delivery"

[formal slate]

Yea

rim colours in the actual mod are different compared to what I saw in the video

[bleak panther]

oh it's not the same as on the preview image

[bleak panther]

the 14x7 okudai gold rims look like it

[formal slate]

What I’m looking at is the black rims

[bleak panther]

yeah, you can change them if you really want

[formal slate]

Ahh I see now

So I believe that’s how they change the rim colours on the new T series as well?

[bleak panther]

i don't know

[drowsy leaf]

no you just change the wheels

you know you can edit what wheels your car has rightç?

[formal slate]

What are the black rims called then

[formal slate]

yea but I completely do not know any of the wheels

[ornate sail]

How to get msc map mod?

[rugged sphinx]

Watanabe?

[formal slate]

Just go get the actual msc lol 😂

Nah just kidding

[bright jacinth]

jbeam editing makes me wanna kms how do yall know jbeam in the back of your heads

[static gust]

hey

how do I install map mods? I managed to install one but the other two won't show up

that's how my levels folder looks like... but only alzan shows up

[humble kindle]

Hey guys is there a current version of Garfield heights?

[pine island]

Looking for someone willing to help me understand texturing and what I doing wrong, someone I can shoot the occasional PM to when I have a question.
I've probably got 8-10 hours in bashing my head agaist the wall. I figured before I give up, maybe reachout for some help

[lusty thunder]

zip with map in mods folder

[rich tangle]

Where do you go for find mod of good quality?

[static gust]

what?

[pine island]

@static gustYou have to keep the map zipped and placed in the mods folder

[static gust]

hmmm ok

lemme try

like this?

still the same lol

only alzan shows up in maps

[pine island]

Go to the mods tab in-gameand make sure those maps are enabled

[static gust]

repository?

yeah they are

💀

[fathom thorn]

When you zipped them they might not be in the correct format

[static gust]

I didn't zip them, I downloaded them like this

[fathom thorn]

Did they have any special install instructions?

[static gust]

not that I know

[brazen cypress]

Does anyone have a good chevy Tahoe or gmc Yukon mod (newer)

[mossy frigate]

Does beamng often break when experimenting with lua?

[latent ivy]

Update: Trying the texture in game and it needs a little work in some locations but it's mostly coming together

Everything is in layers so things will be changed

[serene thistle]

would love to see someone make a mazda 323f 2003 (protege)

[latent ivy]

made the grille
time for headlights and hood

[pine island]

Is there a program more suited for making building and texturing them other than blender???

[latent ivy]

Paint.net

I use Paint.net for my textures in game

[pine island]

Interesting, thanks' I'll check it out

[latent ivy]

should i put Civetta front Subframe with Miovi bodypanels or keep the Miovi front end

[green pier]

someone should make that ford based v10

the one the guy made in his garage

[fathom thorn]

Like a triton V10
Or something different

[brazen cypress]

Does anyone have a newer big suv mod?

[calm ivy]

try the proton centarui

[cyan drum]

procyon

[boreal blade]

Are there more current mod tutorials or is the one on beamng.drive still the most relevant?

I thought I seen where they released new tools but maybe I'm wrong

[true tendon]

I wonder if the Tanker Upfit on the T-Series could be skinnable like the Tanker Trailer https://www.beamng.com/resources/tanker-with-skins.20838/

[wind fern]

probably doable

[true tendon]

it might have basic skins

It would be interesting since you could add different company skins on it here are three examples:

[brazen scarab]

so we have a luxurious SUV and roadster by Procyon for the 2023 lineup, hm what could be next on Theo's mind

[latent ivy]

he’s started something already

secret blend file

but he’s said he wants to help more projects this year rather than just work on one thing

so i doubt it’d be something too big

[brazen scarab]

imagine the next project for Procyon is something like the Aston Martin Cygnet lmao

[latent ivy]

it’s not aston

it’s primarily hirochi

would make no sense

[drowsy frost]

Finn did procyon.

[brazen scarab]

god damn I forgot

why do I get the twins confused

[patent siren]

i need bad mods. like bad barely running cars and whatnot. idk where to find them tho

[latent ivy]

Update: One side is done and it looks amazing

Time to mirror it on the other side

[golden cliff]

Could someone link me to a video, or help me on how to search for, modelling headlights for BeamNG? My searches just come up with people adjusting lights in the world editor

Because on an existing S13 in beam, it's got this pattern on the headlight casing, except in blender it's just a solid object. So I'm unsure how you'd design this properly

[untold chasm]

Texture

[ocean mauve]

Details like that shouldn't be done via modelling, as the model would get way too detailed.
I'd recommend using textures, mainly a normalMap

They can be used to make 2D faces look 3D
(Left - 3D model, middle - Normal map, right - 2D face with normal map)

[golden cliff]

yeah I do get that, but it doesn't look like there is any textures in the blender material

[ocean mauve]

BeamNG uses a separate material system

The blender material is only used to link the BeamNG material to the blender object by giving them the same name

[golden cliff]

Where would the creator have created that effect?

[ocean mauve]

The materials file can be found in the cars/mods folder, should be called something.materials.json, it will also show the path of the used textures

[ornate sail]

How to add ai to a map that doesn't support ai traffic??

[golden cliff]

Ahh yes I completely forgot about that. In that case, what would I want to search for to find out how to do the same?

[ocean mauve]

Making a normalMap? Something like this, though I personally don't have much experience with it
https://styly.cc/tips/maku-blender-normalmap-bake/

[golden cliff]

No worries, I was meaning more how to do it specifically for BeamNG headlights, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction

[livid oasis]

What do you think? I know that for it to be a truly Australian road, I have to add the white reflector guide posts, those will be one of the final details on the map. I'll also be adding Stimsonite road reflectors toward the end.

[bronze shard]

something is off, not sure what. could just be the reflectors you still have to add but maybe the road colour, lack of broken lines or something with the road edges/grass in general lends to it just feeling not quite right

[latent ivy]

Time to make some Mann Co. skins for the H-Series.

[haughty saddle]

concept

[jagged garden]

a little something I did. NCPD police siren. Wasted 2 hours trying to rip the files from 2077 only to realize someone on the internet uploaded an MP3 file of the sound.

P.S. thank you BeamNG devs for making the games' files so easy to work with. Getting this thing to work took me a few short minutes

[jagged hare]

anyone help me with modding?

[haughty saddle]

sarcastic?

[latent ivy]

Is there a mod for police lightbars for ALL vanilla cars? I'm making a police skin pack and there's no vanilla police equipment for the ETK I-Series and the first generation Ibishu Pessima.

[jagged garden]

no, genuine

[hybrid marsh]

the content is basically open source, if you have the game

[ripe grove]

You can also use Engine Sim for the rotary engine

[woeful marsh]

Is it also from Github?

[loud delta]

thoughts?

[latent ivy]

i got bored
any mod ideas

[waxen lichen]

drivable wooden chair

[worldly mural]

make a pigeon with a wigeon front

[latent ivy]

and put a SR-tec engine

alr

[worldly mural]

yes

[latent ivy]

probably gonna release it but without the KLJP engine

[latent ivy]

Made this rollcage from a some ACMP rollcage and the bolide
the only original part(from ACMP) is the side things(forgor the name)

[haughty saddle]

bridge is done hah

[latent ivy]

BEtter VISIBILITY

[pine island]

Is it true that textures need to be a certain dimension or they won't work?

[pine island]

needs more spoilers, but looks awesome!

[spark cargo]

small bump?

[upbeat stratus]

This is old, but just fixed this today.

Basically, you need to add controller for kingpin, then kingpin reference.

        ["fileName"],
        ["couplings/kingpin", {"name":"kingpin"}],
    ]
    "kingpin":{
        "kingpinNode":"kingp1"
        
    },```

kingpinNode":"kingp1" is going to be your kingpin collission nodes, and your "kingp1" tag is now going to read {"tag":"fifthwheel_v2", instead of just "fifthwheel" for the tag.

 ```//kingpin
        {"collision":false},
        {"selfCollision":false},
        {"nodeWeight":34.0},
        ["kingp1", 0.0, 1.65, 0.90, {"tag":"fifthwheel_v2", "importElectrics": ["lowhighbeam", "reverse", "signal_L", "signal_R"],"importInputs": ["brake", "parkingbrake"]}],
        {"nodeWeight":10.0},
        ["kingp2", 0.0, 1.65, 0.5],```
Every T-series trailer mod should have the  above ^


If kingp2, and kingp3 are unused you can just remove.

However on legacy vehicles, their kingpin node vertical offset is wrong. Need to lower it from 1.10 to 0.90 to allow seamless backing up and go and kingpin lock.

I uploaded my changes here: https://www.beamng.com/threads/re-release-rogers-25-ton-tvt-and-legacy-t-series-fifthwheel-and-kingpin-fix.96683/#post-1681819

[frozen tulip]

are all map mods made in the world editor or is there an alternative? ive seen people having problems making textures and the terrain form right and i want to avoid it when i start making a map

[cyan drum]

thingy

[latent ivy]

Is this a lore friendly Ariel Atom?

[cyan drum]

yeah

[latent ivy]

Nice!
How is it called?

[cyan drum]

blackpool sillhouette

this is a full remake however

new on left

[latent ivy]

Nice.

[livid oasis]

I don't know what you think is wrong. There are no broken lines as it's a corner and I think the road is the perfect colour.

[bronze shard]

there would be a single sided broken line coming from the corner, no? i think its not the colour itself but the colour being incongruous with the wear levels of the road

[latent ivy]

Fire

[brazen cypress]

Does anyone here know the city map that coolkid uses in his yt vids?

[livid oasis]

Well, it's a big corner and it's in the middle so nowhere near the straight. This road is going to be a main road so it is in better condition than other roads.

[bronze shard]

ah, might just be the fov then, it definitely looked like it was coming into/out of a somewhat straight section. if you have a look at the hume and barton highways you might see what i mean about the colour not matching the road condition, its a bit hard to communicate via text

[lilac mist]

los injurus, it's on the repo

[brazen cypress]

Ok

What does it mean when a mod says (could not download file, check console for details)

[lilac mist]

yea, make all components of the map in third-party tools or copy them from vanilla levels (like buildings, some textures, vegetation etc.) and then build the map in world editor

[lilac mist]

try downloading it from the mods page on the website, i often have the same issue when downloading big mods

[brazen cypress]

Ok

But can we all agree modland is the most sketchy site ever

[lilac mist]

check terrymartinART on yt, he has a lot of videos on map modding, including how to fix textures, explaining some rules for map modding

[lilac mist]

if you mean for beam, then anything that's not forums page or repo is sketchy, apart from pages of some reputable modders on patreon, gumroad etc.

[rare condor]

I figured out my problem, and now on a steady pace to make a Vision GT conversion

[brazen cypress]

Nah every game ive played modland had terrible downloads most dont work and you get about 30 ads just when installing

[brazen cypress]

Yo make the doors work

[rare condor]

I would probably have to look into such a thing to make that work

[brazen cypress]

Yea

[lilac mist]

yeah, as well as strong chance of getting viruses

[brazen cypress]

Because i believe the original maker said there where no more changes to the mod

[rare condor]

although, I don't think I can make this a public mod because of no permission

:\

[brazen cypress]

I cant put it in the mods folder i got no more room for it

[fathom thorn]

So you don’t have room to download more mods in the mods folder, and you’re wondering why the download isn’t working?

[brazen cypress]

I can still download stuff from the repo when my mod folder is full

[fathom thorn]

Is the drive it is on almost full?

If it is, and if you have a free drive somewhere else, move the user folder and delete any old game versions

[brazen cypress]

Yes but i can still install from repo but not mods folder

[brazen cypress]

I cant move documents folder to a different drive

I have beamng installed on f drive that has 70gb left but my mods folder is on my c drive with about half a gb left

[fathom thorn]

You can move the userfolder by opening the launcher, going to manage user folder, and then choosing a new location

[brazen cypress]

Wdym

[fathom thorn]

Also do the old versions clearing in support tools->clear cache

[brazen cypress]

I cant move my users on this pc to a different drive

[fathom thorn]

You are able to change where all of beamngs local data is stored to get more space on your c drive

[brazen cypress]

Where

[fathom thorn]

Open the beamng launcher

[brazen cypress]

Hold yp

[fathom thorn]

Go to manage user folder

[brazen cypress]

Ok now what

[fathom thorn]

There should be a menu to move the user folder

[brazen cypress]

It says choose a cousin or sister folder

[lilac mist]

wat

[brazen cypress]

Yes

Oh wait

I think its working

It worked thank you so much @fathom thorn proto

[drowsy frost]

Nah it wasn't you, was a scam discord link. Got deleted

[brazen cypress]

Ok

[hybrid marsh]

theres a near 0 chance of getting viruses

[bitter atlas]

Anyone Had no textures issue on barstow with some mod ?

Idk which mod could be causing it

[latent ivy]

finally MD98 is on the repo

[lilac mist]

there is a good chance of it, a couple of years ago when i didn't know about its reputation i've got a virus, and heard many times from different people here and on the forums about getting ones from modland
not saying every mod there contains a virus but some do

[hybrid marsh]

never seen a mod from there have a virus, they are scanned by virustotal anyways, you clicked a pop up or some ad

[lilac mist]

nah, i never click a pop up or ad, just clicked the wrong mod

[frozen tulip]

alright
terrain in beam, assets in modeling software?

[lilac mist]

assets yes, as for terrain you can import a flat heightmap of needed size and adjust elevations manually if that suits your needs, but it's better to use third-party tools, like world machine, l3dt, blender etc., it's a much faster and flexible way and you can also make more realistic looking base textures than if you do elevations and texture painting in world editor

[frozen tulip]

alright that’s what i was worried about
thanks!

[frigid imp]

hey i'm having problems with the textures with one of the mods that i'm using

i was wondering if someone could help

let me send the mod link

i'ts called the b series

https://www.beamng.com/resources/iyb-b-series-off-road-semi.12702/

heeelllloooo

??

[fathom thorn]

The easiest way to fix it would be to download the pre remaster t series (someone uploaded it on the beamng forums)

The textures broke because it used textures from the old t series

[haughty saddle]

main road update

[latent ivy]

soon...

[brazen cypress]

The biggest lie ive ever heard from this server

[drowsy spruce]

whats the best map that does not use that much storage?

[brazen cypress]

How much is not to much

Because i can recommend 2 that are awesome

[drowsy spruce]

not over 600mb?

[brazen cypress]

1st a new east coast (3gb/3000mb), los injuris (3gb/3000mb), snowy easy coast (200mb)

There arent much good maps under 600mb

How much space does your mods folder have left

[drowsy spruce]

i have like 700gb left is alot but i dont wanna use much

[brazen cypress]

You should get thoes 3 maps

First one you have to download the rest are in repo

[drowsy spruce]

ok thanks

[haughty saddle]

snippet

[hybrid marsh]

dm me a mod from modland with a virus, with the link to it

[brazen cypress]

Bro i ain’t downloading shi from there

Also modland has about 10 ads that say download here

[drowsy leaf]

the mod itself isnt the virus

its the absurd amount of adware that a lot of people think is the real download button

[brazen cypress]

And most mods dont work

[fathom thorn]

Or they just suck ass

[north tulip]

Is it even possible to get a virus from a beamng mod? At least as long as it isn’t like an .exe file you’re executing

[drowsy leaf]

there have been exploits that have allowed to do that, thankfully they were reported before anyone really knew

[north tulip]

So from just dragging a zip file into the mods folder, there is basically zero chance

[merry hemlock]

yes

[tacit eagle]

when ur feeling lazy folks dont forget there are machine language models

oh dear

wow that got dark quick

gotta stuff these folks in cargo boxes!

[cobalt ember]

Someone should make a mod for flags on the hood for presidential/diplomatic cars

[tacit eagle]

<@&710084482031550547> are you guys the ones I ask to have the modders status so I can make a thread about my mods?

I won't be posting about my mod of darren9's helicopter mod since I know that's already excluded by the rulebook (at least until someone actually tells me how I can contact him in regards to permissions) but I make vanilla career mode related mods. I plan on making a mod that makes, milk/fuel trucks actually capable of delivering milk and motor juice and stuff.

I already released a simple one earlier that uses the built-in predefined parking zones for warehouses here: https://github.com/ZdrytchX/BeamNG_WarehouseFacilities/releases/tag/release

but I'll be expanding it to cover a wider range of the map in the near future. Like, a lot of parking/delivery locations are being added (movie studio, forest house, service tunnel), refinery, radio station, fire station, houses in the suburbs etc.)

Since I'm new to BeamNG (I literally purchased the game a month and a half ago) I probably need help with getting names of places verified/adjusted over time. Because career mode is fairly new, I actually think I'm like the second person to actually make mods to the official career mode, so I figured this is actually worth releasing rather than just keeping it to myself

[hybrid marsh]

thats what I'm saying, but the person said he didnt click an ad, surely

[latent ivy]

if you are talking about the content creator role, i believe you have to email them somewhere

In terms of posting threads

you need to ask here, the first time anyway

and show pictures as well as proof

[buoyant hamlet]

Does anyone have problems with the beammp mod not working? i downloaded and followed a video and it doesn't pop up on the menu.

[tacit eagle]

you need to run it via launcher.

[lilac mist]

Yeah, over a period of a month or two i downloaded a couple of mods from there (don't remember what these mods were), they were fine, but after i downloaded the last one i've got a virus, had to reinstall windows and lost a lot of important documents
Maybe it's just a bad luck but since then i never download mods from third-party websites

[tacit eagle]

temidns me of the old days when googleads had no filters

my old forum username was "ViruS" on tremulous
and google adsense would literally scrub the page for keywords and provide me with stupid obvious virus-infected links

[tacit eagle]

well my mod is like... notepad work so

its very simple stuff that just provides more delivery options

in the future I'll probably add new cargo types for the milk trailers and stuff so they can actually do something useful

[buoyant hamlet]

i have started the game thru the beammp lanucher but it still will not pop up in the menu i downloaded the cilent one not the server one btw.

[wet hearth]

anyone know where to find a hellcat mod

[livid oasis]

What do you think?

[latent ivy]

Looks like a dinkum Aussie highway.

[livid oasis]

Of course! I love making stuff based on my home country in BeamNG! I always wanted a PBR Aussie map and now I'm making one!

[livid oasis]

I'm also working on an American PBR map which I'll post some screenshots of it soon.

[latent ivy]

Cool.

[drowsy frost]

Assuming that area's WIP since the hill is quite jagged from just raising the terrain lmao

Looks nice though.

[livid oasis]

I'll be exporting the heightmap and blurring it when it's done to make things easier and it will be a proper heightmap for the PBR textures.

[drowsy frost]

Ahhh
Noice. Gl!

[haughty saddle]

[livid oasis]

Nice! 👍

[haughty saddle]

there is

[zinc shore]

Does anyone know how to make the EV version of the Carbonworks F4 work? There is a preset in the mod but it just doesnt work. I have a feeling it has to do with the fuel but for fuel storage there is no other option

[drowsy leaf]

the f4 doesnt have ev??

[zinc shore]

It does

1s

[drowsy leaf]

it might be a mod you installed

[zinc shore]

dont think so

[drowsy leaf]

yeah thats defo a mod

[zinc shore]

it even has a descr

[drowsy leaf]

yeah and?

mods can do that

[zinc shore]

i have no mods that seem to do something like that tho

You were right
but come on thats some bullshit right here

I used this
it doesnt say anything about that

[drowsy leaf]

yeah default has this

[zinc shore]

Ye ik now

thanks anyway

[cunning imp]

does anyone know of a high quality honda accord/civic mod?

or like a prius mod?

[merry dirge]

Btw why do you want to drive a prius?

[cunning imp]

idk just because why not

i just want a hybrid car tbh

[merry dirge]

So you can crash it?

[cunning imp]

no

just cus itd be fun to chill with ig

[tacit eagle]

[dreamy arrow]

if you want the traffic AI here, make the sidewalk edges round, ai cant take sharp corners like these

[bold ember]

I wish I knew how to mod to make something like this. I feel like one of the big things we lack in this game is the camping/camper stuff

[brazen cypress]

Why does this actually go hard

[rare condor]

Updates on the Vision

the Blender-to-JBeam is really weird, the nodes are not connecting and making beams sadly.

also the mesh is custom made, its not ripped from anything

[latent ivy]

will it be paid jus curious

also looks absolutely stunning

[rare condor]

sadly, since it is a conversion from a different mod, I am not entirely sure if I can release it

so currently it is a private mod

[latent ivy]

ah

still looks sick tho

[rare condor]

thanks, I am taking the color scheme from the AUTOART version I have on my desk, so it is more acurate

[latent ivy]

would be a killer racing car

[grave urchin]

ya

[lyric pebble]

srry mate missclicked

big fat fingers

[grave urchin]

dang i was happy for a sec..

[lyric pebble]

Though I wad gonna do the mod ey hahaha

I don't have the skills srry

Wish I did

[brazen cypress]

Does anybody here have any good newer mclaren p1 mods i had one before but i removed it

[tender glen]

will there be a beta for etk900? or is that mod just one big prank?

[neon magnet]

My brother in christ just wait

[fathom thorn]

Bruh

Modders don’t have to work on mods all the time

[neon magnet]

Fr

[fathom thorn]

Afaik there were no promises of a release soon

[tender glen]

lol, i love getting you guys all worked up, im kidding ofc, i was just wondering if there will be a beta or not and the only way to get a response from this community unfortunately usually means saying something annoying puropsefuly in order to get an answer for the real question

[tender glen]

thanks

[jagged garden]

it is an Assetto Corsa port

yeah ik don't worry

Hello, how to set AI cars to drive from the starting point to the finish line? I have a simple map with obstacles and I record it on YouTube.

[elder python]

Anyone know any mods that make the Roamer look more like the 2003 Toyota 4Runner?
Trying to make my irl truck.

[magic peak]

YES

[nova depot]

tq

[magic peak]

why does that costs 31 paws?

[bold ember]

No clue. I clue. I was just browsing around to see what kinda models were out there

[magic peak]

ahhh i thought it was a mod an not a 3d model, that is a bit more clarifying

[uneven olive]

$20 to whoever can make an adjustable transmission whine slider and downshift clunk (i want realistic, ear breaking sound)

[bold ember]

Ahhh yeah all good. In my opinion beam needs more camping related stuff.

[magic peak]

true

[drowsy leaf]

not that easy
20€ is like nothing for that

[dense tangle]

awh no its sad

[dense tangle]

quadruple and x10 it and gove it to the next person

[coarse shadow]

A bit more of a BeamMP question, but if an official map is saved with added vanilla barriers is it possible to save that file somewhere so that joining players will see the same thing on their end? So far the suggestions I’ve seen online are to resave the entire map which is a lot of wasted data being transferred.

[dense tangle]

that is afaik the only way since if youre hosting a server you cant use custom levels in that sense

as in vanilla maps edited in world edit

unless you reupload or just have a barrier mod thats like extremely heavy as a vehicle so it wont move

[haughty saddle]

town is almost completed

[brazen cypress]

Someone should totally make a ear piercing cut gears transmission

[sacred radish]

I'm not a modder, and I have no idea how easy/difficult this would be but I think it would be funny if someone could make a steering wheel mod that is just a wrench on the steering column

[waxen lichen]

A regular wrench would come undone

😝

[sacred radish]

Pipewrench or Vise grips, either one would be fine

[random cedar]

How can I port a Map or a Car into Blender?

Does anyone have this mod?

[balmy loom]

i think you can find in their discord

https://discord.gg/6z8pxUr7nj

[barren magnet]

man i saw some of their vehicles teased a while back, glad to know its still being worked on

also had no clue it was a shinyodd endeavour

[uneven olive]

How much would it be then?

[rare condor]

more updates on the VGT, It has a bit more texture and tire issues, but the car looks super good right now

the uh, tailight does not work sadly, but I hope I can fix that in a later session

[near abyss]

do y'all know any reason why my car is stuck turning left
Not controller, not deadzone, not mod age, not due to any conflicting mods

[balmy loom]

just to be sure, try pressing A (or left arrow)
if you hold a key and do other actions (like changing car) it will be stuck on that same position, it might be that

[near abyss]

ill try it

its stuck still for some reason

[drowsy leaf]

Considering that you can't have sounds on downshift, you'd have to create a custom transmission logic that plays sounds on downshift, then add the adjustable gear whine too then get the gear downshift sounds and create a duplicate of all the vanilla transmissions with those changes? Idk like 200€ minimum and like 600€ max depending on how hard the downshift logic is and how much time it takes to make

[uneven olive]

Yikes. Ok

[balmy loom]

Add that one ui who let's you see the steering angle

And print it

[rare condor]

I do not know if anyone wants to bother with it, but I have a random 935 in my files, should I make it into a beamNG drive car?

there is no engine model, and there is no trunk model either, but I can replace them with stuff like a Autobello engine or SBR4

[balmy loom]

Go ahead then

[cyan drum]

as a first mod? hell no

[grave urchin]

make me a car fella

if u wanna make a race car dm me

[proven shore]

I need a mod like this for BeamNG, who can create it?

[celest wyvern]

Link to support page of where u release these?

Btw any recommended way of browsing, the forums like to find stuff that is not outdated or is it something that everyone just has to go through?

[rare condor]

at the current moment, the Bugatti VGT is a private mod because it is based off another mod.

[celest wyvern]

oh ok im guesing the mod its based off of is priv too and any others u have made that are avalible

[rare condor]

the VGT is my first mod actually, heh, I am thinking of releasing the 935 and maybe convert another mod too, so there is more to wait for

[celest wyvern]

935 would be unreal

[rare condor]

I do have a Centodieci sitting in a corner in my files, so maybe I can make that too

[celest wyvern]

i mean like the mod the vgt is based off of if i were to get that idk how would i be able rto get the vgt

(depending if the base model is obtainable

[rare condor]

it is the TRIX Chiron.

[celest wyvern]

ye i have that

[rare condor]

yeah. it is based on that car, the chassis and other parts were replaced with a 3D model I had of the VGT. but I do not know if I could release the VGT as a Conversion because it is based on a Modded vehicle

[celest wyvern]

as in permssion wise or as in u dont know if it acc works

[rare condor]

permission wise yes

[celest wyvern]

ohh does he still make mods etc im pre new to this stuff i heard he stopped iu could be completly wrong and i mean i would reach out if i were u

[rare condor]

uh, okay, I could try my hand at it

[celest wyvern]

i mean all i know pleople would love these idea like a lot\

[rare condor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDua3zIYK9s

here is a video on the VGT if you want to see how it handles

[celest wyvern]

also fyi

the dark blue on the secondery is carbon im guessing u know that idk

[rare condor]

yeah, how do I make carbon textures colorable?

[celest wyvern]

no idea ;p;

lol*

[grave urchin]

u made this?

[rare condor]

It is currently just mesh, i am waiting for the JBeam Blender plugin to work so I can add in my custom JBeam

[grave urchin]

so yes?

[rare condor]

but sorta yeah

[grave urchin]

how long u been makin cars

[rare condor]

only started a week ago

heh

[grave urchin]

how hard is it on like a scale 1-10 i really want a car made

[rare condor]

you need to understand some blender, what to rename in the files, and you are good to go for an OK Mesh slap actually

[grave urchin]

1s

[rare condor]

er

[grave urchin]

Would this be hard to make in blender

[rare condor]

3

if you are starting off from scratch, it would be 8

[grave urchin]

damnn

[rare condor]

but you can use the autobello for that, so I am thinking a 4-5

[grave urchin]

this is it in game

but uh i cant contact the dude 💀

[rare condor]

oh yeah I saw you talking about that, I think it is possible

[grave urchin]

they so cool irl

the sound is crazy

[rare condor]

for sound files, I did not do anything, but you can find a good Youtube video on something like that

[grave urchin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja8iJpaIfxY

goto 35 secs

prob could use that for the idle sound

[livid oasis]

Has anyone ever dreamed of having or thought of making a very long (like over 100km/60 mile) highway/freeway/motorway map in high-quality full-PBR materials? Well, I have been thinking of doing that myself! I only have to make a mesh (one that looks good, but is fairly low-poly to make the mesh smaller) in Blender and add the materials there! 🙂

[alpine rivet]

i love long highways, we always drove on the big maps with good highways in mp with friends

[livid oasis]

I'm thinking of making a 160km (100 miles) highway. Or possibly 4! (An Australian one, an American one, a British one, and a European/Asian one)

[livid oasis]

I'll do a quick sketch of what the design will be. I'll have it ready in 10 minutes.

[livid oasis]

I'll be doing it in 1000 160m units because 160mx1000=160000m=160km/100 miles

[livid oasis]

Here's a very rough prototype sketch of what it will look like

[alpine rivet]

nice, have you planed on the shape of it, like will it be straight or have curves, maybe a loop so you can continue doing laps?

[livid oasis]

It will be a loop with some hills for realism. The corners will be huge with a 2+ km radius so you can do full speed around the whole map.

[alpine rivet]

great

[livid oasis]

Lookin' good!

[grave urchin]

Ye i wish

[zenith cloud]

isnt that a legend car?

[tranquil stone]

Sorry for responding so late, I just saw the notification... I have a question. Assuming the first part is something that I need to add to the same .jbeam file as the second part, where exactly do I enter it? Another question I have is about the second part. The node offset are different from the example you provided. instead of changing the vertical offset node to .90, should I just subtract .20 from the vertical offset?

//kingpin
{"collision":false},
{"selfCollision":false},
{"nodeWeight":32.0},
["kingp1", 0.00000, 1.86000, 1.03000, {"tag":"fifthwheel", "importElectrics": ["lowhighbeam", "reverse", "signal_L", "signal_R"],"importInputs": ["brake", "parkingbrake"]}],

[grave urchin]

Yea

[zenith cloud]

sick

[upbeat stratus]

change {"tag":"fifthwheel" to fifthwheel_v2

the ["kingp1", node is XYZ, ((X)) 0.00000, ((Y)) 1.86000, ((Z)) 1.03000, and for z axis the 1.03000 is to high on pre 0.31 trailers, sits up on the plate itself rather than at the couple Need to lower the node so it can slide into the v2 fifthwheel, setting it to 0.90 instead of 1.03000 allows smooth operation

best way i can explain it with little knowledge other than edits

the axis is different because the two trailer bases are different as well in height

if you're using other trailer mods, you can edit the node axis' in real time without it glitching out

then just press L to see the coupler or ctrl+N for the node specifically

[haughty saddle]

how to add refuel area?

[bright jacinth]

meshslapping is easy, meanwhile making a whole car from scratch is harder than a heart surgery

i applaud people who can make a whole model and make an extremely accurate jbeams

cause it must be real hard

[proven shore]

??

[balmy loom]

Here is not a chat for commissions, but if you still want to spend money for meshlaps, there are some people on fivverr i guess

@balmy loom just a quick question, I built quite a powerful D-Series but my driveshaft keeps snapping, is there anyway to modify the strength of the driveshaft in the files?

yes

car values and strengh mod

download it here

made by agentY btw, one of the beamng devs (just a cool fact)

to use it put the mod's license plate, go to tunning in the part thingy and put deformation and break in 100x and now your car wont break at all

not yet it would only be the base hiace version since a granvia would be a little too much to make lol

[pallid creek]

Is the Antonov AN12-B still up anywhere or is it gone

[tacit eagle]

facilities file
content -> levels -> [level zip) -> /levels/<mapname>/facilities/facilities.facilities.json

you're whalecum

and yes that's 3 facilities you're reading there lol

when you create your mod don't replace the file

[drowsy leaf]

lmao so you want someone to make you a police car for a crappy beamng clone for 100$ a week?

[tacit eagle]

its a json file so you can supplement it without breaking any other mods

e.g.
create a new json and put it in 0.31/levels/<mapname>/facilities/yourcustomfilename.facilities.json

thinking of which i might add easyrepair garage to the garage list for career mode

wait huh? The commercial garage actually has multiple parking bays? maybe they're just behind the wall and i never noticed them, TIL

[foggy kite]

Yes Is that a problem?

[drowsy leaf]

that a 30 hour work week at minimum wage is 217$ per week in the us

and modelers and programmers get paid much more

[foggy kite]

Well then 217$ then

[drowsy leaf]

cant you just play beamng?

[foggy kite]

No I don't like pc

I like to play games for on the go

[drowsy leaf]

assuming a mod for whatever that is took like 2 months you could get a good speced steamdeck or asus rog thing for the price your paying somebody

and the crash phisics on that seem awful

[foggy kite]

Well I really want this car in the game that's why I pay high price for it

[foggy kite]

It's not the best but it's something

[drowsy leaf]

dude just get a steamdeck and play beam

[balmy loom]

tf you doing in beamncoard playing cindy car drive 😭

[foggy kite]

No I'm fine I never used a steam deck I never used a computer

[drowsy leaf]

you can learn ?

[foggy kite]

I tried

[drowsy leaf]

i hadnt used a computer till 6 years ago

i hadnt modded beamng till 2021

[foggy kite]

Oh

[drowsy leaf]

and now i make mods

[foggy kite]

Well I'm sorry if I'm bothering anybody I was just Curious and just wanted to ask a question 😔I'll leave now

[drowsy leaf]

trust me its worth it to learn how to use a steam deck or a pc rather than paying a lot for a crappy game mod

[foggy kite]

But why is it crappy?

[drowsy leaf]

it looks worse than beamng 0.1 from 2013

[foggy kite]

It's beta

[drowsy leaf]

and beamng is alpha

[balmy loom]

You in 2021?

[drowsy leaf]

no thats late 2021

https://www.beamng.com/resources/diesel-autobello.17495/
this is early 2021

[foggy kite]

Well I have one more question how long did it take you guys to to make learn to make mods for beamng drive

[drowsy leaf]

3 years

[foggy kite]

Oh

[drowsy leaf]

and beamng has a big modder community

• a bit of documentation

[balmy loom]

(and better)

[foggy kite]

Oh

Well thanks for the information

[green pier]

anyone know if someone’s made the MR covet parts usable for normal front engine covet?

like the rear quarters

[balmy loom]

as my knowladge, i dont think so

[tacit eagle]

i bought the game about a month and a half ago and i've done quite a fair bit already. I self taught using notepad and looking at the documentation, only watched like one video because i didnt know that world editor existed

the documentaiton isn't complete fyi, but it gets updated/new articles every now and then

the most recent article i saw was updated on 30/01/2024

[visual folio]

is there any way to change the spawn rate of vehicles at dealerships in career mode? i feel like its unbalanced with my mods

[balmy loom]

i dont think you can

[latent ivy]

how can i get a crash dummy mod

[latent ivy]

thanks

where do i put the zip in

[tacit eagle]

change the info_vehiclepresetname.json "population":(number) value to something very low

[visual folio]

in where tho?

[tacit eagle]

have a look here for example
https://www.beamng.com/threads/missing-vanilla-vehicles-in-vanilla-career-mode.96661/

pigeon is actually quite fun because even in 4 wheeled with wide wheelbase config it still wants to turn over, and with the wide base it gets really bad hunting oscillations

as a result I've "race-configured" my pigeon to have a maximum speed limit of only 105 kph lol

[green pier]

damn that’s surprising

[visual folio]

ok so what if it has no population value?

bc for example my mclaren p1 shows a lot of things like speeds and power and population, but my tt rs shows only paint and name

[tacit eagle]

check all info_xyz files

[visual folio]

All of them are the same, paint and no population

[tacit eagle]

there's the main info_ file then there are info_(preset) files which are info files for the actual vehicle preset

strange, it shouldnt appear at all then because normally they dont appear

are you running the terrabyte's career dealership mod?

[visual folio]

Which is that?

[tacit eagle]

its the one that puts new dealerships in the middle of the race track

[visual folio]

I’m unsure, I did download a dealer mod tho idk who’s

[tacit eagle]

it puts like 100 new vehicles on the shop menu

that's terabytes becasue he's the only one who's actaully released one

[visual folio]

Yea just checked

[tacit eagle]

the only ohter person modding career mode and actualyl releasing career related mods atm is me afaik

mostly because career mode as it exists is mostly new to 0.31

i dont know much about bng before 0.31 because i bought it around 0.31's release

but when i posted on reddit many people were confused how to access career mode

[visual folio]

Ok so I just checked, my ttrs is a .27 build

[tacit eagle]

wtf 0.27, how old is that lol, 2022?

0.31 is current version

[bright jacinth]

if anything you have a doctorate in mods now

[drowsy leaf]

na

[cyan drum]

<@&710084482031550547>

[feral elk]

Yep

[tacit eagle]

^^ can I get a modders role for forum access too

I heard you need screenshot proof, so idk, notepad or whatever this thing im working on, what do you prefer lol

[drowsy leaf]

hell happened here

[cyan drum]

steam scam

[ashen aurora]

how to get changes made in level editor to be exported with your mod?

they seem to go into ./levels/(mod name) instead of ./mods/(mod name)/..

and packing the mod does not include the level changes

[crisp pine]

is there any other places to find mods other than the forums?

[cyan drum]

mods? yes
good mods that are download worthy? no, avoid 3rd party pages other than trustworthy paid modders

[latent ivy]

And free ones.

[crisp pine]

im trying to find the butcher knife mod

[cyan drum]

it doesn't exist

[crisp pine]

i keep seeing ppl with it but i cant find it

[crisp pine]

i see videos of it

also how do i fix this

[cyan drum]

it's only a thing among shitty clickbait videos made for children with destroyed attention spans

[crisp pine]

exactly i need to find the knife haha

[cyan drum]

it's not a public thing, and no you don't "need" it

[crisp pine]

ok

[crisp pine]

do you have any idea why my screen is glitched out black

its only 1 map that does this

[cyan drum]

no, I'm not a map maker

[crisp pine]

it was working fine couple hours ago

[crisp pine]

ok

[sinful geode]

Anyone got any desert or Baja maps in the works? Like desert loops or sprint races that last a few hundred miles or a loop that lasts for 60-80 miles

[bright jacinth]

so incredibly real

[ashen aurora]

is there a simple way to include level editor changes in a level mod? level editor changes don't get pack in the mod folder

basic question - i know

[crisp pine]

is modland a legit site?

[cyan drum]

avoid it

[latent ivy]

Definitely no

[jade lance]

what do these errors mean and how would i go about fixing them

[last crest]

how do i make a vehicle

[rare condor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W76rC3P-IFI here is a progress report on the bugatti VGT.

I added better textures and whatnots to it

it handles somewhat choppy, but it is very good to drive

[last crest]

how do i make a vehicle please help

[rare condor]

i-uh

there is a tutorial on how to build a car

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

@drux here is the tutorial

[last crest]

thx

[cyan drum]

*that tutorial assumes you have prior blender knowledge

[last crest]

i do

[cyan drum]

good luck then

also that tutorial is limited to a certain kind of vehicle so it doesn't work for say a toyota corolla

[last crest]

ok

[still isle]

What are some of the best repo mods?

[cyan drum]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m6LWqKHIKGoYEheC4NhJqspYnE3TkMvgYClABfjYsbs/edit?usp=sharing

[balmy loom]

where is the beetle on that list

[cyan drum]

not my list, idk

[fathom thorn]

It should be updated

[cyan drum]

too bad the author is not here anymore because this server is a living dumpsterfire

[fathom thorn]

Real

[olive spire]

I know this is outdated and stuff, but does anyone know any information on this mod

[warped locust]

are there any mods that can put

• A spoiler
• Underglow
• Slammed Suspension
• V8

On to any car?

If underhlow isn’t possible i don’t mind i just really wanna mod first gen ibishu pessima 😭

[mighty basin]

that mod is so old, D series was remastered since then

[olive spire]

Yeah, but do you know where I can get the mod

[mighty basin]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/gavril-d15-2001-restyle.1131/ well here you go then

[olive spire]

I was thinking to try and fix it but it would be a headache

[mighty basin]

not worth it

[olive spire]

yeah I mean was not thinking to be public so that makes it a little easier

[mighty basin]

not what I meant
with the amount of work would just be better to make a new Roamer front swap mod instead

[olive spire]

Oh yeah it’s the body that’s changed to but I see what you’re saying

[wicked socket]

Will you ever upload it?

[ocean mauve]

🤨

[latent ivy]

nah bro is not playing

he’s dead serious no doubt

[cloud pike]

thanks, leaks are zero tolerance

[cloud bone]

does anybody have links to offroad communities?

[haughty bane]

how do i hijack an input like parkingbrake for my own purposes? i cant get the original to stop executing

[drowsy leaf]

Who made it?

[cyan drum]

sinx

[swift tide]

anybody know how to make a skin matte?

[tacit eagle]

input lua

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/input/introduction/

[latent ivy]

Well You can do it yourself
quite easy
If u know a lil about Jbeam

MD98

[warped locust]

i don’t that’s why i’m asking 💀💀🙏😭😭

[jovial crypt]

If anybody has time and is kind enough to help me get a huge grass template map (about 25km would be great)with all textures imported i would be so thankful. You cans send me the map in Dms

[warped locust]

does anyone know how why my modded v8 engine isn't shwoing up on the parts list for a car its ssupported for?

[languid timber]

You'd be better off asking in #modding-general, but a good first idea would be to check the console and see if there's any errors with your JBeam file

If there is, the console will tell you approximately what line the error occurs on

[pulsar isle]

I'm wondering if anyone here would be able to fix, or help me fix a mod I have, it's a mod for a MK1 Audi TT, and the mod itself is pretty good quality, but for some reason the paint is matte no matter what configuration I use, so something with the textures is wrong. In the photos for the mod, all of the cars are glossy and have nice paint.

[latent ivy]

It's a mod issue and you should delete it.

[pulsar isle]

Delete the mod completely?

There's not another mod for this car and I would prefer not to delete it

[latent ivy]

Hmm...
Have you cleared cache first?

[cyan drum]

likely broken due to updates or a cache issue, former you can't do much really unless you have modding knowledge (which I doubt), and the latter is fixed by clearing cache

[pulsar isle]

looks like this

[pulsar isle]

How do I clear the cache

I'm not exactly the most intelligent when it comes to computers 😵‍💫

[latent ivy]

Delete the temp folder from:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.31

[pulsar isle]

Alright

Okay done

[latent ivy]

Now open the game.

[pulsar isle]

Yeah I'm just waiting for it to load

Didn't work

[latent ivy]

Hmm...
It's a mod issue then.

Have you tried disabling all mods except this one?

[pulsar isle]

I'll try that now

disable as in deactivate?

[latent ivy]

Yes. Disable them all except this car.

[pulsar isle]

Okay

[cedar hinge]

Hi

[pulsar isle]

All mods including maps, or just the ones which are cars?

I have so many mods

gonna take a lil bit

[latent ivy]

Everything.

[pulsar isle]

alright

do I need to pack the mods, or just deactivate

[latent ivy]

Deactivate.

[pulsar isle]

Mk

Yeah didn't work

[latent ivy]

It's a mod issue then...

[pulsar isle]

Can I send you the mod?

[latent ivy]

Yes.

[pulsar isle]

Alright

hm it says invalid file type

[latent ivy]

Just send me the link in DMs, and I will check tomorrow as I'm not on my PC right now.

[pulsar isle]

Okay

[crisp pine]

does anyone have the tesla car mod?

[rare condor]

Update of the VGT(s), I added some more paint schemes to my saves and improved the suspension. before, the tires used to blow up after being under pressure for too long, solved by stiffening the suspension so the wheels are not the only thing supporting the car.

[plush wasp]

any way to increase dealer size aswell as garage size?

[tacit eagle]

tesla at home:

[fathom thorn]

The esbr is based, I’d take an 800 over any Tesla

[tacit eagle]

i actually looked up the efficiency values of the electric motors, the ones we have in beamng are actually kinda unrealistically high 95.5% is roughly the upper edge of modern electric motor efficiency, but the eSBR and vivace have 96% efficiency)

they probably made them that way thoguh because the high power motors general a shitload of heat

the heat problem might just be because the engines thermodynamics arent modelled well

[haughty bane]

Cant find the exact place where the logic for the handbrake actually engaging is?

[tacit eagle]

depends on what purpose you want is

like if you're intending to fix the stupid bug that forces your handbrake to stay on that's in vehicleController.lua in BeamNG.drive\lua\vehicle\controller\

local function initLastStage()
  if handBrakeHandling.smartParkingBrakeActiveUponSpawn then
    smartParkingBrake(1)
    handBrakeHandling.smartParkingBrakeActive = true
  end
end

local function resetLastStage()
  if handBrakeHandling.smartParkingBrakeActiveUponSpawn then
    smartParkingBrake(1)
    handBrakeHandling.smartParkingBrakeActive = true
  end
  gearboxHandling.isTryingToAutoStartEngine = false
end

do note that some vehicles have automatic brakes. Like the T series trucks, they have air pressure based brake release mechanism (they're designed to fail closed) and the engine has to be running with enough air pressure to release the brakes

[nocturne spire]

just change color settings in colors

[errant jolt]

anyone know what is the beamng mod that adds some grill(center grill) mounted foglights on the bumper?

[steel musk]

Anyone know where I can find an electric sunburst mod?

[pulsar isle]

I explained already that it doesn't matter what I change about the colours it doesn't do anything

[woven crow]

it's in KLJP

facelift with gasoline, hybrid and EV configs/trims

and wrx sti inspired models
