ahh thanks
how do I add roads?
how do i offset my engine in beamng? i engine swapped with a T series belasco engine and the engine is too far away from the car and just falls off
Geometry to Origin in blender for any moving components (Fans that actually move, Pulleys, Belts etc) and then make sure to move the engine to where you want it in blender
is it possible to move it through notepad ++? im not very good at blender
No its all done through blender as all the components and parts need to be moved within a visual editor.
hmm alright thanks tho ill try to figure out how to move it with blender
Its not too terrible, Just watch some tutorials on basic blender controls and youll get the hang of it, I thought Id never be able to make mods for beam but here I am 🙂 If you need any more assistance dms are open 👍
haha alright thanks, ill watch some videos and if i really cant figure out how to fix it ill just send a dm 👍

No problem, Check DMs sent the exact vid I watched to learn beamng modding 🙂
oh okay thanks!
I'm looking for a modder to do a burnside expansion that does commissions am willing to pay. Will not pay for something poor in quality. Am offering up to 200 dollars and am open to haggling. Must be based off a burnside and compatible with other burnside mods
@glacial summit @frozen tulip
is this better?
how do I add a new terrain paint?
I want to add the default offroad mud/dirt texture, but I cant find it anywhere.
and I dont know which to use for macro, and other ones
anyone got a bmw mod?
yooow that is nice! yeah that will work
one of the reasons too as to why i was wondering if you can seamlessly connect the bumpers but now i wont need to lol, i really appreciate it
Hey guys, I downloaded the ford mod and now both the explorer and Taurus have been deleted manually from me because, the els wasn’t as “cool” as advertised, it started spamming me with anti virus alerts.
Send me any cool mods via DMs 😭
let me guess, from modland? or a similar site
you downloaded a virus 👍🏼
Beamngdrivemods.com from google
yeah ok
i wouldnt trust that site lol
somehow a site worse than modland
What one yall use?
The repo and forums.
the official beamng website
its the only safe place to download mods
^
repo and beam forums, they are the only safe place and usually have better mods in general
its in alpha hoonitruck
ah thanks 👍

hey guys how do i make these textures not look like tv static?
im trying to import this map from asseto corsa and the textures are goofy
Hi guys! First time poster, I want to ask a flow graph question.
How do you add and play audio files? The play audio node asks for a prefab but my prefab has all Static objects in it.
Also abit confused because an audio emitter game object implies it plays in level in a 3D space were I just need to play a flat audio file
What I was hoping for was the ability to import all my audio files (or maybe load them as an array of json strings) and play them on demand in my flow graph.
This may sound like a stupid question, but... Does anyone know how those "Survival Rate" in videos are calculated? Is it a MOD or is it arbitrarily calculated?
Or does it have any relationship with the dummies?
Thanks!!
arbitrary calculations intended to drive up engagement/interactions or just to make it more "exciting"
@eager vine I would scale the texture up to get rid of the grainy effect maybe.
I got it already thanks but i also have another problem now i want asset browser to load vehicle assets but when i select for it to load vehicle assets it gets stuck at 46.75%
I had that issue. Rebooted the game. But honestly I found it easier to spawn vehicles in the game and then save them to a prefabs
Save them to a prefab? How??
Make a new folder, should be called “SimGroup”. Put all the stuff you want in it, right click, pack as prefab
Oh and make sure that the vehicles have their “can save” or “is persistent” enabled
Thanks for the answer!
That looks like a useful metric though 🙂
no worries. at the end of the day it is just a tool to keep the audience interested, you can manipulate that tool however you like. something along the lines of a dungeon master fudging rolls to make a better experience for players, nobody likes all 1s and all 20s get old
that being said, an actual survival chance/injury calculator would be a fun toy
Anyone working on the D-series issue? I don't think it is with the d-series itself, it is something within the game. I removed the .32 pickup from the game completely and replaced it with the .31 pickup and get the same error everyone is getting.
I have also found that if I load in anything based off the d-series and reset the lua, the orbit cam seems to work like normal, but the rest of the cameras are screwed. It seems to me like nodes for the cameras have been re-named but there is really no change in the files for the d-series between .31 and .32. I'm wondering if the crash camera addition had something to do with it.
Any mod recommendations for better engine sounds?
I don’t think it’s a body on frame car so I don’t think it would be
hmm, still have my doubts about it. most real car mods not on the forums are sketch
modelling looks decent
if they end up posting it on the forums i’ll try it
im not a fan of telegram or other platforms to get mods
lot of stuff circulating that shouldnt be
i’ll check it out later, currently at work
anyone knows how i fix orange textures and missing maps? it happens on most base maps for me, and even after uninstalling every mod and clearing cache, reinstalling the game nothing is fixed
Show meshes
Ctrl b
The meshes on the inside are a bit jank but it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be
what meshes ??
he show you the jbeam (these are replies to deleted shit)
your have showing the jbeam
they used the incorrect term but that was what they wanted to see
Dont talk about stuff when you have no knowledge🙏
lol what
just dont share it in here
what is your deal?
a jbeam can be considered a mesh
it also is not that big of a deal
shud up lol (reply to deleted message) #mods-discussion message ignore rommb he has zero idea what he is talking about🙏
there was no reason to come out like this
dont be an example of why people tend to hate this community and server
im just telling the person that he should shit on meshlaps if he has zero knowledge
whats your problem
i aint? you seem like you are :p
well for one, the rav4 does not look like a meshslap, at the very least a heavily modified jbeam. the gv70 again is not a terrible jbeam
the last one posted looks like a modified sunburst jbeam, but its still modified and looks to be decent
probably too high poly of a model
or poor topo
by the way you seem to not understand who youre talking with
what mod is that?
also yeah, and?
instead of being toxic about people who don’t know as much as you, why not take the opportunity to inform and teach them why they should avoid meshslaps
or how to spot them
i wasnt toxic at all?
you very much were lol
well show me
context for the first one btw
thats not even toxic lol
yeah
pure facts
like the last 2 screenshots wasnt toxic to me
like i told him he has zero knowledge whats the problem
read this again
So whats the toxic then ?
you can tell someone they don’t have knowledge without being an ass about it
yeah i made a super insult sorry man
yeah cuz you have ZERO knowledge
i just said you have zero knowledge
no swear words at all
so dont talk about stuff that you have no idea about
just ignore them, this isnt going anywhere
yeah
genuinely
<@&710084482031550547> they seem to be toxic and admitted of pirating a mod
it is just a scripted, simplified mesh lol
yep
very mature
and apparently im the bad just for telling they have no knowledge :p
so didnt we ?
they were agreeing with me that a jbeam is a mesh
it seems you don’t have knowledge
you can be not wrong but still wrong in that you aren't wrong about what you are saying but you are wrong in how you are saying it
but im not gonna get involved in the drama here
lmaoooooooooo
they aren’t discussing how to get them, so i dont agree with banning them
nor are they distributing any
still admitted of pirating the gv80 mod
This is not how this goes.
We have a 0 pirating tolerance here.
thanks
fair enough
you still could have handled that much differently
rip bozo
he got banished for good ☠️
you should just avoid that shit, dont buy it, dont crack it, dont do anything with it
you still could not call me toxic for no reason and send lies in this chat
what lies did i send?
and how am i being toxic, trying to steer you away from just calling someone stupid?
i wasnt calling someone stupid ?
Its gone already whats your deal lol
i would just stop at this point mate
its just annoying, you’re being a textbook example of why people don’t want to come here to learn about modding
and why people don’t take this server seriously
he never came here to learn modding🙏
about
and its also annoing when people call jbeam a mesh, lets get over it
even though it is a mesh
im not going to argue anymore dawg
🤷
🍿
no not really
^^^
a jbeam is a is a set of point and conections which defines the colision phisics of the car (also known in other engines as a collider )
a mesh is the part that is rendered by the gpu and that you actually see
they are similar things
physics skeleton
but not the same
i’ll take the L on that one
the visualization of it is more of what im referring to anyway
not the actual points and beams
you can visualise it as a mesh in blender
you can visualise it anywhere
but a jbeam specifically still is the physics skeleton file for beamng
way to stretch my words
at this point it feels like you’re arguing for the sake of arguing
That’s a decent way to describe it
I think I’ll use it if anyone asks what a jbeam is
thanks, i stole it off the beamng wiki
Gave +1 Reputation to @fathom thorn (current: #1 - 315)
Lmao
shrimple as that
"JBeam is the file format that defines the physics skeleton in the BeamNG engine. It is called JBeam as it is based on JSON (with some exceptions) in order to define node/beam constructs."
🤯
anyone has a Nissan 350z car for BeamNG modded or paid version please dosent matter needs to be good
No
thank you Java688!
your welcome mate
there is alot of version there, not sure witch one is the best tho
nope
visually might seem like so but its far off from a mesh
only thing it has in common is that its a 3d object of sorts, thats it
yeah i already got schooled. i know what jbeam actually is, one of the ingame visualizations i would personally consider a mesh, but its already a past argument

i just dont know enough about how to do jbeam to be useful with it yet
hence why i stick to modeling and textures
what you probably heard one time is to think of jbeam as a mesh ig
its just nodes and beams
yeah. i know that fundamentally it doesnt function like a mesh, just when visualized ingame and in blender, thats the easiest term for it
its also a misnomer bc other games that do deformation have collision meshes and deform meshes
so people associate jbeam with that
including me i suppose
the way i think of jbeams is like springs (beams) connected with blutac (nodes) with pieces of paper inbetween (coltris)
honestly yeah thats a good way of thinking about it
this is kinda like a collision mesh but also not since its not rigid
yeah
that design is based on either isuzu md or liaz 500
Send me some from the site? Also is the ford Taurus and explorer in there with the cool els?
why dig shit up from 2 years ago 
just look on the site its easier and idk if those are on it i dont use irl mods
Can send a link in DMs?
just search beamng forums and go to mods
Safari or google?
Some only work on google
safari?
its the official site so it shouldn't matter
can some 1 help me in #modding-general
Do I click search resources?
just click the link the other guy sent
It’s a bit outdated but not bad
When I search the filters go away…
idk man im not the tech support for the site ask someone else
the website is pretty old so the search doesnt work fine
these are the best rated mods so they should be good
https://www.beamng.com/resources/?order=rating_weighted
how does modland do?
No
remove that from existance
the beamng website is harder to navigate but its like
the official website
where the content is clean of any viruses or things that shouldnt be in a mod
no fake mods
no leaked mods
i just wanna find the ford tauras with the police and cool els
theres no ford taurus in the official forums
and the ones on modland are just a roamer with a a very bad 3d model on top
so what is this
i want the 2 emergancy vehicles
likely private
that too
or shitty meshslaps from god knows where
private mods that well
are private and you cant get them
or a rwd converted sunburst that drives awfully
the word is self explanatory
private doesn't mean just 1 person
anyways I said likely so it may or not be private
don't get your hopes high though
is there anyway for me to get it? i really want it...
not that I know of
that looks like a bad mod
lol comes from an awful page
oh right
yeah it's a shit mod which is also made by the same person who stole the whole centauri's jbeam and tried to make a paid meshslap with it
it has bad deformation and spiking
How do you get private mods? let me guess... $$$
no
also the code for the taurus might be stolen from another guy
you can download that one
but its likely going to crash bad and be very badly detailed since its a gta5 3d model
im not gonna explain why its bad to have a gta5 model but its basically that its not made for beamng then it will just suck at everything
no engine, no good underbody, bad interior....
and also god knows where the model comes from given it's a gta5 mod
RIP
private mods are private, so unless youre in their friend group or have helped them on the mod, you’re unlikely to get it. also you need your be a trustworthy person to give it to
i really wanted that one...
hey does anybody have a ferrari sf90 mod
no
scintilla
what
doesn't exist or if it exists then it's shit
use the civetta stincilla
does anyone know if theres any ford f150's in the respository
if you get a sf90 mod it will just drive like a scintilla but with a sf90 forza motosport model (which sucks)
not on the repo, potentially check the forums
the repository doesnt allow copywrighted content. there might be some in the beamng forums
wtf are people doing a queue for mod asking now
forums?
i dont really care about the quality
Any other mod like ford explorer/tauras thats similar with the els
copyrighted
what forums?
just use the bastion
Send image/link?
it's literally a vanilla car
the base game Bruckell Bastion
....
then idk google is your friend
It prob sucks...
what lol
its a vanilla car
like the one that the beamng developers make
the good ones
istg newbies are allergic to using vanilla cars
like you know
🤮
what
how to download the forum mods
yk
not real car = bad of course
which mod?
that's not out for download
oh
Work In Progress = means not finished, and not uploaded
please read the tag
i found one on modland that says paid
ohhh
filter by WIP Released and Released
of course
ok then buy it if you want to get scammed
just don't bother
i aint spendin on it
i just fr wish i could get that into my game...
also heres a mod list
of good mods
you know this server is against leaked mods and that you might get banned for it right?
like 6 of them
huh
guessing its fake comments
yeah no buddy that doesnt work
shhh
no matter how shit the mod is leaking is still bad also
isnt that against copyright
well yes
But leaking it is also against copyright
the mod creator and mod leaker should both get taken down
what?
thats not for you you have a functioning brain
oh thank you
its as easy as
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m6LWqKHIKGoYEheC4NhJqspYnE3TkMvgYClABfjYsbs/edit
if its here and it doesnt say [WIP]
download it if you like it
i like emergancy mods
ok
then go ahead and use websites of dubious nature and get viruses, fake mods and stuff that breaks your game 
nooooo
yes but some of the ones are old does that mean they wont work like this toyota 4runner https://www.beamng.com/threads/2019-toyota-4runner-update-27-12-hotfix.86301/
do you have a list of any police vehicles with insanely cool els like that one
bruh at this point its up to you to look through them and decide for yourself
still its better than most modland mods
:/
fr like we arent google
just use google and ignore any websites that arent beamng.com
no
i dont
type this into google
site:beamng.com police mod
do you also want us to download the mods directly to your computer and also install them in the right directory?
yes pls do
ok it's 10 dollars
i dont hav thats why i look for free mod
btw does anybody have an sf90 mod
all the ones are taken down
we already told you
you’ll have a new set of iems in no time, lucrative business model
better late then never
lfg I kinda want a new pair to use with a pair of bluetooth adapters
sell more bugy
speaking of, is that out or still in wip beta?
none of the youtubers I've contacted wanted to make a review of it
lol
still in ea
well make new update and hype and allat
can someone send me a 350z mod pls just not virus
you on kofi/gumroad or patreon
No,
it doesn't exist
check my bio, I've got all 3
ahh yes no airbags, love it
post it on facebook
for some reason over there they have like 2 billion spending power
idk do you actually expect airbags on a fiberglass car
just say dm for info since the official beamng facebook thing doesnt allow links
true, make sure there's no seatbelts too lol
time to use base64 links :trol:
r/beamngleakedmods moment
fr
seatbelts? nowhere to be heard of
the steering wheel looks like it would impale me if u crashed
the whole car is a glorified bathtub and you're worried about the steering wheel lmao
Why?
mid mod motivation
ofc it wont send the attachment
oh it went
ok guys update tomorrow :trol:
lol
They are basic cars
I don't trust sharemods at all, usually used for shit mods and leaks
it took me to a corn site
nothing outside of the repo and forums is safe
So your saying its not good to download?
no its good
make sure to click around to make sure its good
and clikc allow
swear on god i wont get a virus or i wont believe you
trust me
not until you say the exact words
I mean..... :))
do u want a peugot 407 mod
no, ford explorer or ford tauras.
The police versions are nice...
too bad the mods are shit
stfu
says who
me, a modder
you dont get it
yeah I'd rather not get it
fr
homophobia ban him
im lookin for some like this with this type of els
no, freedom of speech
some things are better to save them for yourself
is it ready to download
W
i can download it now?
read
read
i am
:(...
give me 2 second
how long is it on hold
how tf are we supposed to know
ask the creator
dude has no research skills
reading is hard for the green leaves
ey bru
no read for it
lmao
mercy isn't
thats why i said merci
are any of meows police vehicles downloadable rn?
read, then find out
Can someone take the burnside and make it more like the Hudson Hornet. Smoothen out the back end make it more of a frame in body instead of channeled more securely attaching the frame to the body a split windshield like the actual Hudson the grille of a Hudson and make the roof mid. Not quite chopped but not quite normal height. A nice middle ground. Am willing to pay in commission.
i did
dont care
if you read then you would've answered your question
Please.
Also bring back the whitewall tires that were on the burnside when it was first introduced
how do i download this
Wait screw the mid roof just make the leadslead look like a hornet please.
thats a you problem...
Will do a commission to make a leadslead look like a Hudson Hornet from the Grille to the tail lights
And whitewall tires I seriously want these back
how do i download bro
maybe try the add to cart button idk....
im scared
is it safe? no scams? i want free...
then dont download it
have you used this site?
yes
bro just do it or dont i cant guide you through everything
k
last question
is there any other police vehicles?
mods please pin istg
Is it possible that just changing some part I can make the engine sound different?
Like I can have na, twin turbo and single turbo sound for rb or jz
any help getting a wider tire mark?
note current tires are leaving 8 inch tire marks
Chances are, the tire mark texture simply isn't that wide.
not for that tire type/wheel anyways
gotcha, im gonna poke around and try to replace that texture then
So as a question, does anyone know if there are any other universal train wheel mods out there?
The only one out there doesn't really work on many cars now because of updates, and I'm hoping to try and get LucasBE's DeLorean on the rails to recreate my favorite sequence from BTTF Part 3!
<@&710084482031550547> hi mod, can i get the role to post things in showcase-your-mods section?
Have any proof of progress on your mod?
I'm guessing my mod is not good enough 😕 or my proof is not enough
Finally I made something with custom textures!!! (it only took 6 years)
nice
maybe darken the yellow and saturate it a bit
it looks washed out
also might just be that you have your game graphics settings low af
yeah I was thinking of doing that, the accent colour on the car itself is significantly darker
What do you think? This is a rough design of a map I'm going to call Hume Highway as it is based on the real Hume Highway in my home country Australia! This layout is going to be on a 32x32km map and the map I made in Blender and it's roughly 246x250m segments, so the road length is around 61.5km, give or take a couple of hundred metres.
looks great!
or maybe you need to do a standalone car
from what i see there are mostly standalone cars and maps
ah, but i want it to be like universal so should fit others mod too
No.
Can someone make a mixer trailer

people typically dont do commissions in the beam modding space
Where do I go to find commissions then?
yo chat how do I install the beamng rally mod? Like the one that says project beamng rally, I’m struggling installing it
I want some changes done to the body. Smoothen out the back end make it look more like a Hornet and make a custom grille for it that fits the burnsides original grille that's based off of the Hornet
Go fast, turn left and check out our in-depth documentary film on Hudson Hornet race cars! Learn the history behind how Hudson accidentally built a competitive racer that made waves in NASCAR when paired with early stock car champions, Herb Thomas or Marshall Teague!
This documentary film uncovers the serendipitous turn of events that...
And I'm going to pay as it is a commission
yeah that would require a major redesign
its highly unlikely you’ll find anyone willing to put in the time to make that
all the paid mod devs are the laziest people "in" the modding community, lazy ass meshslaps on a stolen 3d model with no jbeam changes and they charge $15 for the privelage of getting the malware they put in the files
There’s only a handful of reputable mod devs making paid mods
And only a few paid mods that are actually worth it
Stuff like the Ibishu signia, hirochi rush, Gavril scout and the cherrier hatchback are good
Stuff like “paid dodge challenger #69” isn’t good
i would argue that making paid mods automatically disqualifies them from being reputable, and that a mod is not worth it if its beind a paywall
lol
no
the amount of time and effort proper mods take, plus the time spent learning all the skills is worth paying for
take something like the CCF, that took a team of like 6 people over 2 years
please, anybody?
theo was generous enough not to paywall that
i have zero qualms with completely scratch made mods being paid
Eh
The ones I mentioned are dev quality or better
Unless it has any special instructions, just download the zip and drag it into the mods folder
Same
I also think paid betas are great
It has no instructions, I was hoping someone here had used it before
paid ea can be hit or miss imo, depending on how often its actually getting worked on
and im not a fan of the patreon model of paid ea
but absolutely i will pay for a scratch made mod when its finished
Patreon sucks for beam mods
segra, rush, picnic, the upcoming dynamo, the autobello buggy
Ok, then just drag the .zip file into your mods folder and then it should work
the only thing im not a major fan of is paid ea for free mods, but i can understand if theyre actively devoting their time to working on it
That’s fair
fart really loud
I did that, it has levels, vehicles and mod_info, I placed them in their respective folders (under content) and it’s not appearing, I’m unsure if it’s in the actual maps (east coast USA) or if I’m tweaking.
They don’t go in the content folder
Don’t change anything about the file you downloaded
Just put it into your mods folder located at appdata\local\beamng\0.32\mods
did that and there wasn’t any change
I’ll send a photo of it in the morning, it’s 1:20 am for me
if that’s okay with you
awesome sauce
Still if I can find anyone willing to do a burnside commision I am willing to pay
honestly
save some money and mod it yourself
if its a part to change, then it will be pretty easy
Looking for a Commission for a 1961 Chrysler Windsor, willing to pay
have you seen LJ and Lucasbe's paid mods?
those are very far from a cashgrab
in some places they are even higher quality than vanilla content
patreon mods of meshslaps have given paid mods a bad reputation
Random shower thought:
How many fairly popular modders are there whose names start with S?
There’s Shados, not sure if you can count me, and then…
hm
guys quick question does anyone know of an amazon prime truck mod?
what
A truck with an Amazon livery or something i guess
yeah
For some reason i have 0 mods installed but SSRG. Why does the electric motor not work on vivance
Not sure why me exactly but I don’t mind lol
Did you use to have mods? And do you have the battery installed?
Can somebody help me with installing meows tahoe?
use to but cleared cache and yes im using a config
hmm
Was the config made before you got rid of the mod(s)?
its the ssrg config
just drag the zip into your mods folder
what one
Guys
I downloaded a modland ford explorer 🤞
istg if i have to remove a virus
virus scan said 0/92
works but els isnt as good.
anyone got any Ideas for companies? I'm making a van livery pack, I've already got Xfinity so far
Do i have to unzip mods i dragged into the mods folder?
i downladed a virus
From where
im joking
omg its you
the same person who helpde me like a year ago
What are some good F1 mods?
none, fr17 is pretty much the only one and it sucks
thats actually tragic
this is F2 though
does anyone have a good inifinti g37/ nissan v36 mod? i have downloaded 4 already and all of them have misplaced wheels, tachs and missing textures
they don't exist
Not sure bout f1 but another open wheel car that’s actually decent is carbonworks f4
i done this and the vehicles still dont show up... please help
are you sure you're putting them in the right spot?
where exactly are you putting your mods, and you aren't unpacking them, right?
anyone know a mod that has tire slicks for any car?
mostly street slicks
are there any known mods that allow you to wink with vanilla cars that have pop up headlights like the bx or bolide?
Most rims already support slicks (called race tires in beam)
There was a mod for the 200bx that did that, but it’s outdated and won’t work
What do you think of my plan?
has anyone got the fixed Range Rover Classic with textured engien
Guys, is it possible to import an engine from one mod to another?
like the files it self?
hmmm that could work but idk how
cause theres this mod that i love but its missing the real engine parts from the actual car itself
and id love to put the actual engine on it cause i have another mod with the same engine it uses IRL
#game-discussion-1 message read this
RIP
where can i find safe and quality mods?
The BeamNG threads & Repository.
thank you

Should I learn blender and make paid mods. Or get a actual job but I'd have to wait a year till im 18?
Imo you can go ahead with mod making for a year, then you can get a job when you are 18
👍
That's what I was thinking, because I can use the modding money to get a car so I can get to work
just make sure its a mod worth paying for
I have a total of 600 videos of learning blender. It will probably take a month to watch it all, I would have to practice too
Then i'd have to learn lua, jbeam etc
I'm probably looking at 4 months of learning if I do it 6 hrs a day every day to get my work decently good
About that, what woukd you consider easier? Lua or 3d modelling? If lua is easier I might do mods like working touchscreens on Vanilla cars. If blender ill make crash test props. Suv's etc
If you cant work anyway, might as well learn how to mod. But please start with a free mod, collect some feedback, figure out your workflow and then use that new knowledge to make a better mod

Your first mod is not going to be worth money. And even good mods struggle making money. Its not you, its just how it works
alr i understand
If you are learning modding, the modding for dummies discord is a fantastic place for support :)
so for my first blender mod i mighht go for roof spotlights
And for my first lua mod probably a ui app
Im planning to make big stuff like working infotaintment on vivace etc in the future :)
send the link please
Dont got it rn, i left when i took a break from modding and havent felt the need to come back. Just google it, im sure you'll find it out there
Thats a great idea :D
irrc someone that made a paid mod that costs $3 Someone made like 30 grand
what mods have you made so far?
Yeah but thats not the norm
That one drafting mod and the tyre wear mod
You can ask questions but im not really the type to give 1:1 lessons lmao
Im just a guy who knows how to code and wanted these things for racing with friends lol
your apps are made with lua right?
If So What would you consider easier? Lua Or Blender?
Theres no easier, they are different skillsets
irrc marcel who is making the rs6 started by coding java mods now he is making a 1:1 of the audi mmi so that give some some hope
For me, coding is really easy but i also have a few years of experience. For some of my friends, code is like magic but modeling is easy and a cool creative outlet
Thats nice
i cant even shape the blender square into a circle, i know coding basics like /fill etc, so i might try coding first considering my autism makes me a quick learner and i will remember things
what free website do you reccomend i learn on, or what videos taught you to code?
Thats a difficult question, i think i started like 12 years ago when i was 12 using a cracked version of gamemaker 8 and browsing some Dutch forum lmfao
im 17 💀
itll probably take till im like 23
lua alone, learning blender too so probably 25 and beam.ng will probably be dead idk..☹️
Your best bet is probably to learn some basics of python or something, start with learning how computer logic works basically. Then look at existing beam mods and see how they do things. Make sure to experiment a lot yourself. You might feel like you are learning a lot from a tutorial but just messing around yourself is so important
You'll be fine, you have plenty of time and you shouldnt worry about all that. Do it to have fun, pick up some new skills. Dont do it because you want quick returns :)
i mean i learnt python animated snake etc 10 min a day in like 2-3 days
Thats a good start !!!
My first projects were all abyssmal. I think i spent several years just following tutorials and not really understanding anything, and then at some point i changed my approach and now im (hopefully) a good programmer
you are a good programmer
I used to think it was insane that people could even make basic things, and now i can write my own gpu raytracer or write a basic os kernel and i can actually enjoy making whatever i want to make
Sometimes stuff takes time and sometimes nothing will make sense and thats completely fine
It doesnt matter if you are good at what you do or if you are learning fast, just have fun and the rest will come
i mean python was my school work, my mom hasnt assigned me python in like 2 years
so ill need to relearn
Thats also fine
Do it because YOU want to
i want to mod
Then go mod
already on it
you've actually gave me confidence, something i havent had in like 12 years
Good luck !!!
coding time
html python then lua
looks like v8 is the limit for this car
sadly you cant use standard lua knowledge much in beam except the basics
beams lua is like similar on the ground level but overall its custom and has basically no docs
oh ok
Hello, is it just me or the beamng mod forum server down?, it takes so long to download a mod even tho i have a stable connection around 4mb/s
Anyone know how to get the scp inspired ECUSA mod where a car follows you around at night? or atleast where to get it or what its called
improving river highway's airport
That's so cool
I eventually will learn some programming cuz I'm studying that but damm Thas cool
Either LJ or lucas
But that's a full car and from what I know it was like 10-20k
(Picnic made like 15k a year ago )
But you have to take in account their years of experience and that they take 4-6 months of work to made
Any mod to make tuning and modifying vehicles easier?
front rear disc brake from scintilla and abs are on
the front wheel is lifting when im turning
wdym easier?
what are all of the fonts beam uses?
Map update! added shopping mall, garage, some houses, and parking lots and deco lights for car dealership (WIP)
WHAT ARE ALL OFFICIAL AND LEGIT BEAMNG MOD WEBSITES OTHER THAN MODLAND AND WORLD OF MODS?
the forums and repo
are modes FREE THERE?
The ingame repository
https://www.beamng.com/resources/
https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/
99% are
the 2 mentioned sites are not legit or official, but as subie said, the repo and forums
yes. avoid modland and world of mods at all costs
AVOID MODLAND AND WORLD OF MODS
Agreed they are very sketchy sites, most of the mods are stolen too.
why all caps 😭
the ccf thread got me thinking about this
if beamng can use youtube via UI apps, could it also use another website like Radio Garden?
Technically yes
But sound is a different thing
can you elaborate a bit?
You can't play sound with the embedded html from what I know
Trust me I tried that with an embedded autoplay yt vid
Also content that's got copyright can't be autoplayed so you can't get Rick rolled with a YouTube embed html
i see
so the engine just wouldn't be able to play the contents of a website or even work with embeds
at least for where we're at right now.
is that about right?
Anything?
fligeon
flying wigeon ong its a wigeon with wings
I hope someone who understands BeamNG drive can explain how to build a car from scratch, because I didn't understand how it was done.
ah same, I want to build exo car but I'm not familiar with uv, nodes and beams so have to download others mod to modify to what I wanted
right ive looked on every corner of the internet, reddit, youtube, sketchy discord servers and I cant find a single worthy pickup truck. anyone know where to find any?
wat is utah extra config name for my private server im making
any help is appreciated
does anyone know what the mod is called for the covet and 200bx where you can put honda engines in them i cant rmb if they exactly honda engines but it comes with a bunch of tunings parts and you can do pop and crackle tunes with that mod
Rk custom engine?
The mod got alot of engine swap options for pretty much every car
And vtec of course
But it didn't have engine 3d models thou
NVM FIGURED IT OUT
taxi
Any good nascar/indycar mods?
anyone know of any mods that will allow me to engine swap the pigeon to whichever engine
If you know nothing about modding, making a car is the worst idea possible
It takes A LOT of skill to be able to do it
Damn i thought of radio garden too 🤣🤣🙌
I just want to learn to make car mod from scratch just for my own satisfaction, is there any guide for that?
you need a lot of prerequisite knowledge, if youre serious about learning join the modding for dummies server and do the tutorials
Technically yes but pretty much all websites are blocked
is there a lexus lfa mod?
Yes just visit Worldofmods lexus section
Thanks 🙌

dont recommend worldofmods
or modland
both are not good sources for mods
I dont care, i ve been designing and have been obsessed with cars and its dynamics since age 4 and it gives me peace when i think about making and designing cars, down to small details , physically or digitally...
True, but the lfa mod i got worked just fine as for the price....
what hes meaning is you need so much knowledge about the systems of beamng and modding in general that taking on a full car will burn you out almost immediately
its best to start small
worldsofmods just uploads stolen content and very low quality cars
beamngs language is unique
jbeaming is more of knowing how to make a phisics skeleton that properly deforms than actual programming
not trying to discourage you, just want you to understand that modding beamng isn’t like a lot of games
and it takes a lot of time and understanding of the base systems
modeling is one thing of like 10 you need to know to effectively make a mod
Yea so where can i start, i m not afraid of it actually , the idea of combining different type of systems to calculate a realistic output excites me
start with making a prop and learning how jbeam works
Ok
beamng has a pretty decent documentation setup on the site
like i said, the modding for dummies server has tutorials you can follow as well
yeah modeling is literally how the entire car looks like
The nodes resolution looks a bit low for ultra-realistic computations...
thank you for once again joining a conversation at a point where it wasn’t necessary
Gave +1 Reputation to @maiden shard (current: #46 - 36)
youre definitely mad :p
performance reasons, high density of nodes/beams is not a good time
Most of the chassis is empty and less resolution 🤣
well for one that mod likely stole the jbeam from the centauri, and two the way jbeam works is not like a collision mesh or deform mesh, its essentially a structure
Building and assigning real physics values of real cars and then mimicing its behaviour in the virtual environment will be a big deal right?
i just found the best mod ever
its a merc car, it has everything u can imagine of, u can put the back row seat down, openable doors ofc and even sunroofs (toggleable)
i would recommend reading the documentation before jumping head first
Yea mostly merc models are high quality and high configured...
Do yall know any audi Q8 mods that are high quality?
99% of real car mods are meshslaps, so dont take those seriously. look at the jbeam of a vanilla vehicle
I just wanna open doors and stuff
Yes j beam structure is the real car they are mimicking
j beam is just the structure
meshslaps use jbeams from other vanilla or modded vehicles and just “slap” a new mesh on it
This is the most dynamically accurate free mods out therr...
no
100%
that is a mod stolen off the official beamng forums
So is it the porsche 911 twixter version?
and uploaded into that website
Ohh
https://www.beamng.com/resources/?order=rating_weighted
check these mods
these are lore friendly mods so not 1:1 but they are the best as they go
they will also give you a better look at a properly made jbeam
there’s a hotkey to view the jbeam as well, but i cant remember what it is and im at work currently
Oh yea i have the centauri and its structure feels more accurate
U mean 5his?
Beam viz - ctrl+B
also you can see this is using chassis details of the bruckell bastion
yea
thats decently good since its stolen from the forums
i helped the guy who made it like 2 years ago
.
Most of these mods esc is stolen from etk series
But this one doesnt match any vanilla car i guess...
i would reccomend using the debugger instead
Which one to go for?
just press simple
Yea i got the j beam part
its more of a skeleton
But how much detailing is req for a high quality mod
Yea i got it
look at high quality mods if you want an idea
or look at the recently updated vanilla cars
what isnt?
think he means the number of nodes or whatever
the more nodes the more "high res" i guess
Yes the detailing of the beams that are aligned with the car body ...
💯
yeah thats not necessary
Ohkk
Can u explain these hanging beams
Vehicle animation configs programs are very basic
i want to join beamng mods for dummies server please send link
Whats the map?
how can i change engine sound on custom model
Does anyone know if there is any bmw 4 series mods flying about not m4s mainly looking for 4 series 2014-2016

does anyone know what the mod is called for the covet and 200bx where you can put honda engines in them i cant rmb if they exactly honda engines but it comes with a bunch of tunings parts and you can do pop and crackle tunes with that mod
was there ever a mod for a RHD legran? im guessing no but it'd be nice to have
I don’t remember ever seeing one
I know there’s an eudm mod that adds eu parts to most American cars
nooo it’s not that one
how do i get Enhanced Tachometer and Forced Induction to work i have it subscribed and enabled but its still the default
Someone PLEASE fix this 😭
I can't use the indestructible mod due to the additional modifications tab disappearing. Someone please help..
You have to put the UI apps in yourself through the UI Apps menu
@civic furnace do you have a plates pack to go with the dutchess county skins? just wondering if there's one that is public or not or maybe it comes with the configurations idk
I don't have plates to go with them, I am using colored license plates though.
If I ever figure out making custom license plates, I could possibly add them to the pack.
ah i see, ty :3
mod name?
how do I get mods?
built in repo or the forums

modland safe?
Nope
The mods folder
Go to the mods manager ingame, and click on “open mods folder”
Drag the zip files into there

Yes
There is a button that says open mod folder on the right
go into the vehicle menu & sroll down
you'll see props there that you can spawn
Are there any mods for plastic Mk1 Pessima bumpers?
i think kljp has them
i know the pre facelift in kljp has plastic bumpers
Nice.
could anyone do some Jbeam and other files for me? i can do blender but could never grasp Jbeam and beamNG files. i want to make some parts for the D-series. if so please send me a DM
Someone has to make this into a mod pls
would just be a skin right?
Maybe I have no clue
and a modified spare tire rack
With the royal renderings x3 or aurata
this is the vanilla, someone just needs to make the skin for it and maybe rims
i changed the suspension Jbeam for the D-series to let me make it lower than -0.08 yet it still isn't allowing me to go any lower after changing, any help?
Do You guys download your mods in the game or on beamng mods
both
Does anyone know if there's a mod for the Aptera? I can't find anything online so I came here :)
Not on beamngmods.
Download in the game or on https://www.beamng.com/resources/
Also is it standard practice to pay someone to make a car for you? I really want the Aptera 😂
not really, any product worth getting would take immense amounts of time and that costs immense amounts of money. on top of that, very few people with the skills and time would accept anyway
Helllo!
I was wondering if there are any mods for the Career mode? Like adding more cars for purchase?
I think if you already have car mods, you can buy em in dealership 🤔
I have one but never seen it
Mine did, I'm not sure is ur mod would work in career mod but I think high chances is just the dealership didn't have the car at that moment
so there is no specific mods for career mode? Do they all just appear no matter what?
I mean, they just appear in the showroom
For me of course, maybe it's just haven't apear yet
Yeah its just less likely for them to be in the dealerships
oh thanks
its just when I go to the save file and click edit, the Mods button is greyed out
Yes sure I can
Someone needs to make a legacy 200bx mod, I really want the old one back 💀
There's already a thread with the file.
Is there?
Absolute legend
Legend
Google's the legend ya know.
Tf you mean
You could've searched for "beamng legacy 200bx" instead of asking here.
Yeah and?
🤷♂️
🤷♂️
Is there one for a trackhawk?
Not that I'm aware of.
