I was in material editor

And changed the number plate

And idk how to revert it back to stock

Is there a way to revert everything you’ve changed in material editor back to stock?

[terse crescent]

Do you know if there is any for a jeep grand Cherokee?

[fervent crag]

No.

[terse crescent]

Mustang?

[fervent crag]

Neither.

[terse crescent]

Dam

[terse crescent]

Where do you get your mods off of

[fervent crag]

beamng.com/resources and the repo.
Also reputable paid mod creators.

[terse crescent]

Aren’t the resources automation?

[fervent crag]

Not all of them are.

There's a pinned doc in this channel with good quality mods.

[livid oasis]

What do you think? This road will be approx. 7km long. It will be narrow with lanes narrower than 3 metres and it will be themed on the Austrian, Swiss, Italian, and French Alps. The switchback part that is about halfway will be one lane wide. The heightmap and terrain textures were made in L3DT and the road texture was made in Blender and overlaid over the terrain texture in GIMP. It will start as non-PBR but will become PBR later on as it is a simple map. I haven't decided on a name, so could you give me some suggestions?

All of my other projects have been delayed for months because I have been very busy and have been focusing on more important thinks, but my other projects will be completed soon.

[golden horizon]

Anyone here know about material editor?

[livid oasis]

The material editor is where you can create and edit materials right in the game without having to do any coding.

[maiden shard]

thanks to @latent ivy for early access

[golden horizon]

Do you know how to fix it?

Gave +1 Reputation to @muted grail (current: #353 - 3)

[golden horizon]

I saved something I shouldn’t of saved

[livid oasis]

What changes did you save?

[golden horizon]

I messed around with the number plates

And also there’s a car where all glass is orange

But yet can’t find where it is

[livid oasis]

Well, I can't help with that. I only use the material editor to edit certain materials.

[livid oasis]

So I don't know what to do about that

[livid oasis]

Sorry

[golden horizon]

All good

Here’s this though

What can I do about this?

[broken depot]

Ok you need it made

[golden horizon]

On the website I meant there are mods similar to modland.
Don’t download from there.

I don’t know about drag tires, there is a one that you can customize the grip, and there are some alder dragger drag tires at the very bottom i don’t think those are modded but they have a good amount of grip

[candid slate]

ah okay, i’m just looking for ones that look good and work with the vanilla cars 😭 thanks tho

[wispy stream]

The adjustable grip tires, those work with vanilla and have most base looks, they go on most wheels I thought

[candid slate]

i don’t have it

[wispy stream]

Like race tires, sport, all terrain maybe

[candid slate]

do u have the download for it?

[wispy stream]

I’ll get it to you later

[candid slate]

dm it to me when you do

[quick spoke]

[latent ivy]

how to i correctly download a steering wheel mod

PLEASE HELP

SOMONE HAS TO BE ONLINE

[primal marsh]

What do you mean by steering wheel mod?

[latent ivy]

for the police super car mod

there is a steering wheel mod i want to add and i don’t know how

[primal marsh]

Do you have a picture of it

[latent ivy]

no

nvm

[lime birch]

blender got rid of auto smooth and idk what to do because I dont have the modifier or smooth by angle options people are talking about, its just gone 😭

[cold pewter]

atp just reinstall

[gentle agate]

atp?

[cold pewter]

at that point

[lime birch]

its fixed now ty

[low bear]

Hello fellow chads, I'm having a lighting issue with Canyon of Speed. Wondering if someone has fixed this. I saw a comment left on the download page about the same thing. It's hella dark and sharply lit. Seems time of day does not fix it. Thanks

[edgy crow]

The white car with the purple background lights are public I think. Maybe not the tail lights since they are tinted

Might be one of his edits in the photo idk

[obtuse radish]

Anyone know where I can find this mod? I think FillMan86 made a similar one but i cannot find it?

[latent ivy]

It is on the forums.

[obtuse radish]

Yes, but I cant find it. Do you know what page

[olive trellis]

is there any good free ram/ford/chevy truck mod/mod packs

[distant hare]

Vanilla d series lol

[wise quest]

Is there a mod where the exhaust header glows red?

[mossy frigate]

I think there was one for the old ibishu 200bx, but it’s not working anymore because of the remaster.
I don’t know what its called though.

[wise quest]

There was a pickup with a diesel engine that had glowing headers but i can't find it

[mossy frigate]

Found the 200bx mod

[fresh rover]

rip i have like 30 mods from mod land

i mean the mods are good ngl

[dense jungle]

But they actually aren’t

[fresh rover]

why lol

[fresh rover]

?

[barren magnet]

modland is filled with low effort meshslaps, stolen paid mods and potentially viruses

[dense jungle]

They’re meshlaps of stock vehicles at best

[fresh rover]

oh rip

im downloading some now lol

[dense jungle]

Why

#game-discussion-1 message should be pinned here instead

[unkempt socket]

Does this exist anywhere

[latent ivy]

Sadly no.

[fading gust]

im not defending modland or anything but there are some kind of decent mods on modland

a very very small amount tho
and usually still not that great, theyre just usable

[barren magnet]

most of the “decent” ones are leaked paid mods

or rather most of the good and some of the decent ones are leaked paid mods

[terse blaze]

Shout out modland, the admins are so slow with taking stuff down too 😭 it took almost a week to get mine taken down

[unkempt socket]

😢

[unkempt socket]

There's only one case where I'll defend leaked mods.

The kind of mod like DFA pack doesn't need to be leaked

But $20 for a half assed car with 6 configurations and horrible Jbeam, deserves it

[barren magnet]

not even that. those should just not be paid in the first place

i don’t agree with leaking mods in any situation

those shitty meshslap mods shouldn’t be paid, nor should people pay for them

but theyve cornered a part of the market

people want real cars, but the majority of good modders don’t want to make them

there are only a handful of people that do real cars well

[dense jungle]

those paid meshlaps give paid mods a bad reputation

[barren magnet]

100%

[dense jungle]

like the segra ultimat or gavril scout is 100% worth it

but not that mercedes GLA you are eyeing which is actually just a gavril roamer in disguise

[drowsy leaf]

on god

there should be some way to "offcially" sell paid mods that have to go thru qa in order to be sold

[dense jungle]

at least

[hard prairie]

No love for 4 wheel steering on the D series, eh?

[latent ivy]

you get a golf 6 mod.
but when you realize there’s electric motor option, you know that’s a vivace
i hate the fact that some of the modders can’t do their own chassis or jbeam

[dense jungle]

these types of mods are just cash grabs and those "Modders" dont care about anythnig but money

[latent ivy]

“mo-“ pls get my mod >.<

i am sorry but kenemation does that in every car

and sell it for high prices

[cold pewter]

i love ttSport suspension on a bmw 🙏

[cold pewter]

7 dollars for a shitslap with like 10 configs is outrageous and no offense to the ppl who do that

i mean i make mods, they arent great but im not selling them for like 10 dollars or something for a single car 😭

[latent ivy]

the thing that makes it look like a high quality mod is PBR MATERIALS

[dense jungle]

you at least put some effort in at minimum

[latent ivy]

Where can I get these tailights?

[cold pewter]

i mean yea i do try to recreate cars as close to the irl counterparts

[latent ivy]

meshslap cars

[cold pewter]

accurate weight, gear ratios, trims, factory colors, uhhh and some more stuff i forgor

[cold pewter]

real

[latent ivy]

they just sayin jbeam edited but originally that’s from a vivace/sunburst in disguise

[cold pewter]

*barely edited

[latent ivy]

LMFAO

[cold pewter]

some chaser mod im making rn is like 5 different cars fused into one 😭

[latent ivy]

“accurate and realistic configurations”

[hard prairie]

So far, my mods are all vanilla code, just modified 🤣

Except the jet semi of course

[latent ivy]

“69 configurations” the variants but just with different colours. same bumpers in disguise

[cold pewter]

i love config bloat with those "antichrome" configs 🙏

[latent ivy]

for real

[barren magnet]

private i believe

[latent ivy]

Ah, okay.

[cerulean osprey]

its my 1st try to make car from scrach

[mighty spruce]

say i want to make my own car. talking about the model of the car itself. where would i begin? as in, place some cubes? use sculpt tool? what do beamng devs use?

[cerulean osprey]

now im working on underbody

[mighty spruce]

nice, what do you use?

[cerulean osprey]

visual studio code and blender

[mighty spruce]

ok, but in blender specifically... how did you start? i find placing a cube and slowly changing the shape of it very unsatisfying, as if i will never reach my own goal.

how do you - well - make a basic shape into a car shape?

[outer solstice]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEaoINr3zgEPv5y--4MKpciLaoQYZB1Z&si=VW0tGkgTvHJ7db-n

[mighty spruce]

not what i mean

i mean the workflow, i know how to use blender

[cyan drum]

everyone has their own workflow

[outer solstice]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOs8m1ECfMkhhGXVMbcz5GIs52jlE1zV-&si=pEYOrNJvQKAZU-ty

this is good for modelling cars

it’s what I used and i’ve managed to get some good stuff going

[mighty spruce]

thanks, i'll take a look soon :)

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @outer solstice (current: #355 - 3)

[mighty spruce]

who knows, maybe i will make my own car mod eventually.,.,

[outer solstice]

modelling is the easy bit tbh, jbeam is the hardest step in beam modding

[mighty spruce]

how so? its just.. creating vertices and making them follow the car a bit here and there...

[dense jungle]

not the physical part but the jbeam file

[outer solstice]

i’m not sure you’re understanding. jbeam is the proprietary system that beamng uses to simulate cars, it essentially creates a really low poly mesh around the car that the environment uses to essentially tell where each part of the car is and how they all connect together.

however these use mathematical values to calculate weight, strength, rebound and whatnot and getting those wrong can cause any number of problems. You also need to construct supporting structures, special beams for things such as hinges and latches, plus the godforsaken trigger system

[junior zodiac]

Hi someone can help me to make work a 16 speed gearbox with a splitter and a rangebox

[outer solstice]

it’s really hard to get right, it’s hard to know where to start and where to go, and what to use where and when

[dense jungle]

this is the furthest I got, I couldnt change the flexbody successfully and just gave up in the end

also its very wobbly

[outer solstice]

what in the manner of god…

[dense jungle]

i wanted to make a box van on the gavril frame

because the H series, D series, grand marshal and roamer all use the same chassis

[junior zodiac]

i'm not sure about that

[dense jungle]

this was gonna be the body

[junior zodiac]

the front is pretty similar to the H-series

[mighty spruce]

how so?

[left wagon]

looks great

[dense jungle]

syntax errors

[mighty spruce]

did you re-export the .dae

[outer solstice]

use VSCode and set the language JSON with comments

helps amazingly with syntax

[dense jungle]

ive went long past the given up stage

[mighty spruce]

come on man

[dense jungle]

i mean i also did start a fire upfit for the d series too and got slightly further

[mighty spruce]

dont let your dreams be dreams just do it

[dense jungle]

im not motivated either

[mighty spruce]

imo (and a lot of other's opinions) it looks good

just do it man, the end result is more satisfying than giving up now

[dense jungle]

im not giving up now, i already gave up

[mighty spruce]

retry it then

continue working

give "down" instead of up

[dense jungle]

i work on other stuff, unrelated to beamng now and was before

this is nowhere near the quality needed for beamng

[mighty spruce]

the only thing it misses is detail ngl

just a bit of black trim here and there, maybe some vents, i dont know

[dense jungle]

like i said, it's not for beamng

[mighty spruce]

ok

[dire ravine]

quick question from someone who has never made a single mod, how would u create a new livery for a car and change the window texture so it fits the livery?

im trying to make a sort of russebuss livery for the wentward dt40l

just cause 17th of may is right around the corner and its fun to learn new stuff

[jagged elm]

Hello I installed part randomizer but idk how to use it

[cerulean osprey]

i need to do uv

[outer solstice]

that looks pretty cool

what’s it gonna be?

[cerulean osprey]

toyota chaser jzx100 (ibishu tour)

[drowsy leaf]

you should work on finishing everything else before doing uvs

[outer solstice]

ask Docro if you can use the Arima branding for it as I’d say that would work better

not sure tho i’m half blind to the japanese side of beamng

[drowsy leaf]

yeah a chaser is a toyota

and arimas are kind of a 1:1 toyota

[cerulean osprey]

mine not gonna be 1:1 bc i want to make some changes

[drowsy leaf]

no problem

better even

my celestia isnt 1:1 either

[latent ivy]

Is 1:1 boring?

[drowsy leaf]

yes

why copy when you can make your own

[latent ivy]

I can tell. 😛

[outer solstice]

just please don’t fragment ibishu brand any more 😭

[latent ivy]

Yeah.

[drowsy leaf]

for real

ibishu is overused af

and even if it Was a toyota it would be a hirochi

[nimble valley]

its kinda rare irl

ST205 Celica

[latent ivy]

my dad had a rally celica but sold it :(

[latent ivy]

can i have the files

[fading gust]

not sure if my celica terminology is correct but thers a prefacelift convertible version that i see around my town

it looks to be really well kept, its red and the paint shines super nice

[olive trellis]

how do i setup mods from like modshost and what not

[nimble valley]

install you mean?

[nimble valley]

shame

[barren magnet]

you’re either thinking of 5th gen or the weird looking facelift

5th gen vs 6th

cant stand this rear end personally

reminds me of an avalon

[latent ivy]

Why is the facelift so weird?

[barren magnet]

just kinda looks like a pickle

idk how else to describe it

[latent ivy]

I see.

[olive trellis]

Nvm figured it out lol, but my camera keeps messing up and everytime i change a part i have to backout and press tab

[fading gust]

nvm not the prefacelift

its basically this exacly

[fading gust]

it has this rear end; and i agree, it's not particularly great looking

[latent ivy]

I agree.
It just... interrupts the whole flow of the car's design... but still looks good.

[frozen glade]

how long is the proccess of putting a car into beamng?, I made this a long time ago but know nothing about beamng modding

[nimble valley]

never seen it before

[vale sierra]

is there a motorcycle mod?``

[latent ivy]

There is a Yamaha.
I don't recommend Tony's bikes due to questionable payment methods.

[vale sierra]

ok

[barren magnet]

@dense tangle this is what i meant by the ibishu common engine, the covet and bx use it, but the old pessima does not

even the SOHC isnt that bad

the v6 model sucks bungholio

[latent ivy]

The V6 looks outdated.

[barren magnet]

very

[latent ivy]

But at least I am happy to see that the I4s have different models.

[barren magnet]

that may actually be from a mod tbh, but it uses the pessima v6 model

[barren magnet]

yeah, its a shame that the intakes don't change, they use the same base block anyway, just change the valve covers

[latent ivy]

True.

[barren magnet]

alright i was wrong

[barren magnet]

well not about this

i could have sworn the pigeon's dohc and the new ibishu common engine were the same

yeah that's my bad

the model itself looks like a mix of mazda BP, SR20/FJ20

if that were the case, this radiator hose goes straight into the oil filter and cooler housing location

[worthy hamlet]

its not that bad once you figure out what everything means. i ingamed my kw w900l/w900b in like 6 hours

[oak scaffold]

You can just use one of the dummy mods

Hello everyone I am using a steam deck to run beamng and I can't seem to find the Gavril Grand Marshall Station Wagon

I don't know if it's outdated as it's not on the repository.

[celest sundial]

can't the steamdeck access the internet?

if so this is the link for it on the beamng website https://www.beamng.com/resources/gavril-grand-marshal-wagon.30865/

[austere mason]

Does anyone know how to fix the problem where windshields, headlights, and taillight on some mods have very weird textures? When I change to interior view the windshield and all the glass is black

[barren magnet]

theyre likely outdated and using vanilla textures for the glass

Hey guys does anyone else have a bunch of these errors when loading modded cars?

[faint imp]

Clearly not modded well enough if you're getting errors like that, try another mod. And be sure to only use mods from the BeamNG website, don't use modland or any others like that.

[glass dirge]

they're mods I downloaded a year ago and all of them worked fine until update 0.30

my 6x6 mod is slowly finishing up, but there is just so much else to do lmao. I did a config with it and thought the long boi would be cool, but I think I like it more in short form

Does a mod exist that puts a car on cinder blocks or something?

[barren magnet]

@quasi lodge do you know of any mod conflicts that would affect your plate mod? the first picture is with it activated, for whatever reason the US plate option goes away. so far i've only spotted this happening on the RUSH, but i haven't checked any other vehicles yet. just narrowed down that having your mod activated shows the issue

[quasi lodge]

I will investigate that right away

Yeah, I had accidentally included something I shouldn't have. Fully on me, I'll fix it in next release

[barren magnet]

all good, was just making configs for something and noticed it

[quasi lodge]

Somehow I had included some files that overwrote the stock plates

[barren magnet]

oop

[quasi lodge]

Fixed it

[barren magnet]

👍

[quasi lodge]

I must have Rushed things when I added the support

[barren magnet]

lol, i figured it was either a conflict with one of the other plate packs, or something minor in the mod

[quasi lodge]

Found a few other issues too, related to this

Thanks for letting me know.

[barren magnet]

no prob, glad to help out

[quasi lodge]

All fixed now.
Will probably be uploaded later in the week with some other minor stuff added

[latent ivy]

Are those plate mods from other mods? What are they?

[quasi lodge]

It's from my Norwegian licence plate pack.
A few other mods also have designs for the custom sizes I added, so they aren't limited to only Norwegian plates.

[rare condor]

so the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo has been under revision, and here is it's state right now.

I decided to find a new model since the old one did not look as good as this one.

so because it is based on Trix's Chiron mod, it has the JBeam it uses. so some of the JBeam I am moving around so the car works as intended.

[humble kindle]

Nice Goodluck with it

[heady dagger]

Can someone please help me? I’ve been trying to help my son for TWO days now download MODS. He likes World of Mods because the cars are interior views. I’ve watched a million YouTube videos 🤯 I’ve got the mod’s download & they are showing in the MOD folder of the game but the MODS aren’t showing up as available vehicles. PLEASE HELP!

[rare condor]

thanks! I hope it goes well

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @humble kindle (current: #67 - 25)

[humble kindle]

Me too

[hearty obsidian]

world of mods is a bad place to get mods , they aren’t verified to be safe , the beamng forums and ingame repo are better places to get them , as for the mods not working im unsure

[heady dagger]

Do any of these places have interior views of the cars?

[hearty obsidian]

depending on who releases the mod yes , some may not but they are generally better quality

[bronze shard]

3rd party websites will basically only net you low quality vehicles (often with no interior views lmao), reuploads from safe sites or pirated content from mod developers. these uploads are not moderated and can contain viruses or harmful illegal content. stick to the official beamng forums (which contains some real life car mods) or the in game repo for lore friendly mods. there is a list of some higher quality stuff in the pins, but i think it is pretty outdated at this point. you can always ask for suggestions for what repo cars to download

[gentle bobcat]

i recently downloaded the beamMP server and started a server with my friends, i tried adding a custom map to play and it worked , at first at least.....

whoever leaves and tries to re-join can't join back and it says invalid ZIP file at (expected mod location)

I have tried:

• Making sure the file in roaming/beamMP/multiplayer , is the same in the server and in appdata/local/mods.
• Adjusting the location of the resource folder of the map mod.

it seems like we can never join the server with mods at all, anyone have any idea ?

[barren magnet]

try the beamMP server

[willow jolt]

It's definitely getting that shape coming on, sorta part Lotus part Cizeta for sure.

[ocean mauve]

Like others said, it's not recommended to use World of Mods.

The only official places to download mods are:

• The in-game repository (no real life cars)
• https://www.beamng.com/resources/ (no real life cars)
• https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

Unfortunately, the search feature on the official site is pretty bad.
If you're looking for a specific car, I'd recommend googling site:beamng.com and then whatever car you're looking for.
For example, searching site:beamng.com bmw m4 will show all results for the BMW M4 from the official site.

As for why the mods you downloaded aren't working;
World of Mods for some reason has their own way of installing mods.
Instead of dropping the .zip file in the mods folder, you have to unpack it in a different location, and open the .exe (installer) that can be found inside.
This will install the right files in the right location.
Again, this is not recommend (especially because .exe files could be used for malicious purposes), but if your son really wants mods from that site, this is how to install them.

[gentle bobcat]

huh

wdym

[fervent crag]

Ask the BeamMP discord server, they can help with the issue.

Yall I have a question alt editing mod jbeams in 0.32?

Is it possible to actually change things about mod jbeams, like engine properties and stuff?

I haven't made a mod before or edited one, but I saw a thread from like 2022 where they were able to adjust parts of the mod jbeams in real time, like in the game so he could just reset the car and have the changes take place

[opaque falcon]

this is a hard one

[grizzled gust]

what

[opaque falcon]

6x6

and swap the v8

[grizzled gust]

I'm trying to mod the KLJP sbr 4.0l F6 so it doesn't keep overheating

can you help

[opaque falcon]

i dont know, im still working on the 6x6

[opaque falcon]

but i think maybe you can get a better radiator, testing if it still overheating

[grizzled gust]

it still overheat with high performance radiator

the thing is I'm using the facelift unibody for sbr and it doesn't have a Radiator that keeps it alive past 285 mph

[opaque falcon]

somethings wrong i think

[grizzled gust]

wym

[opaque falcon]

not sure

im unfamiliar with your jbeam

can you show the console?

see if there got any error

[bronze summit]

Any good mods for the vivace?

[split vale]

thoughts on intake?

[willow jolt]

Odd placement, but that's probably because I'm more used to seeing batteries or reservoirs in those spots.

[split vale]

Yeah the battery is in the top left corner in that pic, Thats the usual intake placement for the covets but I just wanted to see if it looked good for where it was .

[willow jolt]

Yeah, I did see the battery at the back. TBF in some cars the lights are removed to place a cold air ram to the intake, so it's probably not as odd as I think, and I won't lie, most FWD cars I've owned have been Hondas and they are more or less laid out the same.

If you have lights in both sockets there, the flow to the intake will be lower there than it would be if it was closer to the exhaust manifold

[split vale]

It also would be pulling in more heat aswell, But to be fair this "design" Isn't good anyways, It would need to pull air from inside the fender area imo

I could notch a hole in the Unibody

For imaginary airflow but it does itch the right spots for my realism side

[willow jolt]

You could, but I might have a better idea... let me find a picture of probably the most unlikely car to havne a good solution to the issue...

[split vale]

Im all ears lol

[willow jolt]

This is QEII's old Jag, tbf it was the first to show up in a google search, it has a transverse mounted V6 but notice how the air intake has ducting that sits on top of the rad and breaths cold air from just behind the grille? I had one and noticed it myself. The MAF reads intake air temp of very nearly ambient temps unlike the MAF in my Type R Civic which out of the box was breathing off the exahust manifold and the intake temps were like 50 degC

[split vale]

I would do something like that only if I wasnt basing this engine off the Honda F22B 2.2L SOHC w/non-vtec head

[willow jolt]

The K&N conical I had on my BMW came with the same ducting so you could feed the air from in front of the rad

[split vale]

Oh wait I see what you mean

I could make a box for it infront of the rad

[dim palm]

Honestly why has nobody done this before

[split vale]

Basically take up this space instead but pull in air from infront

[willow jolt]

Like this. That box in the front just blocks off the air from the engine bay so you're getting fresh cool air from the front of the car

[junior meadow]

This is my first full inside and out build in automation its based off a 1979 Ford f-150 Ranger

[willow jolt]

Yes, like this

[split vale]

That looks awesome for automation

[junior meadow]

Thx

first build too

[willow jolt]

Agreed, that's pretty hot man

[junior meadow]

Im starting to work on possibly a semi

[willow jolt]

my Automation builds don't look anywhere near that good, lol. I love the engine builder in Automation but I'm terrible at the rest of the car lol

[junior meadow]

it took me like 5 hours

[split vale]

learn blender and make engines from scratch, I used to do automation builds and thats how I ended up being intrigued in beamng modding

[willow jolt]

Yeah, I spend months on my automation builds and they still look shit.

[junior meadow]

I think im going to try to take it through meshlab maybe

[split vale]

disregard

[willow jolt]

My Blender game is better than my Automation game lol

The only meshes re used in that are the wheels, they're off the Bolide

[junior meadow]

Yeah im taking a little break before i start on any other builds

[split vale]

that looks awesome

[willow jolt]

This is still essentially the intial draft too

Like the concept stage lol

[junior meadow]

whats it based off of

[willow jolt]

Lotus Esprit, it's essentially going to be a lore friendly Lotus, there's a bit of Honda in it, a bit of Cizeta, a bit of Lamborghini too

[split vale]

Ive only been modding w/blender for about 9 months but I started by messing with jbeams so I was used to the jbeaming part pretty quick

[willow jolt]

Jbeam I'm still new to really, but I've been dicking around in Blender for a few years for 3d printing

[junior meadow]

I'm not really a coder but i would love to take my truck through blender or something like that to get bedder crashes

[willow jolt]

Blender can be all WYSIWYG

[junior meadow]

ill have to try blender

how do i get to it

[willow jolt]

If you have a tablet then sculpt mode can be really powerful too

[junior meadow]

Im on a gaming labtop

[willow jolt]

blender.org

[junior meadow]

so what is blender exactly

[willow jolt]

It's a 3d modelling tool

[junior meadow]

Ok well ill try it out with my truck

Im thinking about putting the truck on the beamng mods thingy

[willow jolt]

To make a mod you need three things. First is Jbeam, this contains all the collision, weight, parts, and configs of the mod. Second is the 3d model, this contains just the shape of the mod. Finally the materials file, this contains the textures and colours of the mod.

Jbeam is by far the most complex, at least I think so.

[junior meadow]

is there much codding involved

[willow jolt]

There are tutorials out there on how to take an Automation build and make it higher fidelity using Jbeam and Blender.

It's not coding in the programming sense, it's just data really. There's just a LOT of it

[junior meadow]

Thx for the info ill try all of this out

[willow jolt]

I've got the Bolide chassis Jbeam open in front me right now, and it just deals with the Bolide's chassis frame. It has 600 lines of data

[junior meadow]

Like i said thx for the info ill try it out but I have to get to bed now i have a lot of driving to do tomorrow

[willow jolt]

I will say to check out the Jbeam tutorial on the BeamNG website, it's really helpful

[willow jolt]

Another Blender model I'm working on

[split vale]

I like that, 20s/30s style

[willow jolt]

Yeah, loosely based on the Austin 7

Do you have any videos you suggest for blender modeling? I can do a good bit but I want to make suspension stuff from scratch that doesnt look blocky if you get what I mean lol

[sharp breach]

Somebody has to make a update can am x3 mod or even a yxz1000r

[willow jolt]

So, I started doing scenes, rather than just jumping straight into cars. I started with Blender Guru

https://www.youtube.com/@blenderguru

Then for cars start with low poly, it gives you a better idea of how to start. Something like this one (the guys I learnt off seem to have stopped making vids)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cot14VwZFHU

Stuff like this is helpful if you want to go completely solo, it helped me immensely in building more complex shapes without adding too many tris

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9ScSB2a8pA

Honestly the best thing though is to try as much as you can, you can always delete and start over

Lastly, import existing models into Blender and have a look at how they're made.

[split vale]

Oh sweet, Thanks those will come in handy for sure!

[willow jolt]

The models for Beam's existing cars have all the parts for inspiration

They contain all the parts in the model files, though, hence why they look so confused lol

[split vale]

yeah ive made plenty of mods for beamng I just wanted to learn more about blender lol

exhaust

[willow jolt]

Yeah, I'm guessing you had the Covet body at the very least, but you can learn a lot by just looking at the polys in them

Looks good

[split vale]

Sweet, Well thanks for the advice man 👍

Gave +1 Reputation to @willow jolt (current: #296 - 4)

[willow jolt]

No worries 🙂

I love seeing what people are working on, and the detail they put into their mods. I'm old school so probably ere more on the low-poly side than I should, if I can get the whole car in for less than 50,000 tris I'm winning

[dim palm]

This looks so good

...

Wtf is that

I meant to send this

[willow jolt]

I mean you sent it, lol

[split vale]

I try to be as realistic as possible all the time, I work on cars irl and Im a mechanic during the day, This is more or less a hobby of mine but I do enjoy making mods for beam

[willow jolt]

That's awesome. I often feel that real mechanical knowledge is missing from a lot of car models. I used to race MGs and Hondas and built all my own cars so probably have more knowledge than I really need. I'm a software dev, well, should be, for a living though.

[split vale]

Yeah I agree, Thats why I started modding too is because I got tired of using "engine swap" mods that barely have any detail and dont offer any real difference then just a model change, I like actually changing the exhaust notes and and changing the way the engine revs up etc.. Everything matters when you're designing an engine, But yeah thats really cool to hear I just try and teach myself as much as possible and work with that!

[latent ivy]

Where can I find a 3.7-litre "Slant-Six" engine for the Moonhawk?

[split vale]

New valve cover setup is a work in progress

[opaque falcon]

cant even full throttle

[plain swallow]

Another 0.5 bar of boost will solve all your problems, i swear bro, just another 0.5 bar...

[opaque falcon]

Bro I can do 2.5 but the water temp will rise fast like the speedometer

I only need to full throttle

[opaque falcon]

-0.5 psi

[plain swallow]

Modify the radiator whats the problem 😄

You can't full throttle because of torque curve drop off

You need to modify either turbo or engine jbeam so you get power all way till redline

[opaque falcon]

i mean i can full throttle

just the water temp will rise very quick

like super fast

[plain swallow]

Modify rad

I had same problem with stupidly overpowered Wentward

[opaque falcon]

i already had a scintilla high performance rad

maybe i need a bigger one

How to install those famous tiktok maps?

[turbid apex]

anyone knows how to make the tire unbreakable i thought i just need to put more zeros at the end of BeamStrength and set BeamDeform to 0, but they still explode? - the car also has 6.000hp if thats can be the problem

[still canopy]

Where can I get the most famous ones?

[opaque falcon]

oh i forgot

[nimble valley]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/1962-lotus-25-f1-car.18650/

[opaque falcon]

the only time it would do that is because im towing stuff

[nimble valley]

Not exactly brilliant though @willow jolt

It could be used too shortcut the whole process by adopting its Jbeam

[fathom thorn]

Which ones are you talking about?

[mystic raven]

Malaysian pessima

[latent ivy]

Nice!
How will it be named?

[mystic raven]

I would name it the same as irl counterpart but theres already a car with same name

Saga

[still canopy]

The downhill , speedbreaker , buses

[tepid jolt]

can smeone help me out

[fathom thorn]

Send pics
I’m guessing one of them is crash hard 2.0, that has a huge downhill section and several jumps over bridges

[latent ivy]

My recommendation is to call it the Molatum Trilogy.

[fathom thorn]

That’s car jump arena

There’s a v1 and v2, that one is v1

[still canopy]

Oh ok

Where can I download this

And some more like this

[fathom thorn]

Ingame repo

[unkempt wagon]

Hi guys. How do you make a universal mod ?

[ocean mauve]

• The in-game repository
• https://www.beamng.com/resources/
• https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

Unfortunately, the search feature on the official site is pretty bad.
If you're looking for a specific map, I'd recommend googling site:beamng.com and then whatever map you're looking for.
For example, searching site:beamng.com racetrack will show all results for 'racetrack' from the official site.

[willow jolt]

Might be a good move, yeah,

[glass ferry]

Anybody know how you can activate node in career or how to turn off Lua after turning it on without restarting

[willow jolt]

@nimble valley

[nimble valley]

is this accurate?

[willow jolt]

For the early Lotus 49, yes

The DFV started at 408hp, but was capable of nearly 600hp before it was retired. Not bad for 3.0l

[nimble valley]

Then you remember the f2004 with 3.0 V10 at its peak they were producing around 1000 bhp and the cars weighed 605 kg i think.

[tender hollow]

can someone help me with this shader mod

[willow jolt]

The Lotus 98T was a 1.5l V6 turbo, 1500bhp lol.

[nimble valley]

actually yea forgot that thats crazy

[willow jolt]

Some F1 cars were just nuts

The turbo lag was so bad in the 98T that drivers would flat shift so that it stayed spooled up.

That Lotus you linked was an automation car?

[ruby reef]

(dont know where to put this)

gotta bring this back

had to go to wayback to find this

[spare peak]

anyone know if it would be possible to make a road that spans entire usa with low res flat textures for terrian

[barren magnet]

you would get horrendous floating point errors

very likely not possible

[willow jolt]

Do you mean like a road that's actually thousands of miles long? Or just one that travels through a number of different biomes and sceneries to feel like you're going state to state?

The first, no, and even if you could, even low res textures won't fix the fact that you'll need to map and then load into memory thousands of miles of road, it would melt any domestically available PC. The second, yes, and it would be easy enough.

[distant hare]

wouldnt it be able to port like the crew 2 map in beam maybe?

[willow jolt]

I don't know about the Crew 2, I suspect it's bigger than the Crew map, and that was big enough. But in theory it's possible. I'd love to see an attempt made, you'd probably have to do the same as they did in the Crew and limit access to the roads so the scenery is essentially just an image as that'll reduce resource usage

Those maps were very low fidelity though, so it wouldn't be great quality

[distant hare]

Yea something like that, but it would be real nice to see[my steupt bruning down while trying to laod this abomination of a map]

[willow jolt]

That's the other thing, most PCs struggle loading a few hunred miles of roads all tightly bound up in cities and tracks... a straight road of thousands of miles will easily cause even the most resourceful of machines to spontaneously combust.

[distant hare]

the Pc underwent a spontaneous combustion event, resulting in complete conflagration

[dense tangle]

whar

roads arent that geometrically intensive its mostly their decals

theres legit about 400+ miles of road spanning off industrial alone

and that low res straight cut road

[willow jolt]

And how big is the area and the scenery around it?

[plucky oxide]

now make a proton saga 👍

[willow jolt]

The reason most maps are square is because that's efficient, once you introduce 1 long straight road you start losing that. The original idea wouldn't just be hundreds of miles of road wrapped in a few square miles, but thousands of miles of map.

It's also not the geometry that's the struggle, but you'll need to map textures, even low res textures, to that road, to the scenery, to all of it. If you didn't have the scenery there's not really any reason to make it that. If you just want a highway simulator then a large circular road will work way better.

[dense tangle]

tiling is a thing yknow?

[willow jolt]

Yes, have any idea just how much road you're talking about though? Importing a shrunken map like ATS or The Crew would be far easier if you just want the sensation of going from region to region, if you want to just simulate driving on a highway then a large map with a highway circuit would be better and if you actually want to map in a specific road I'd say do it in stages and have spots to stop where you can load the next level. You're not going to drive the entire length in a single sitting anyway

[willow jolt]

Are you honestly going to run this in a single session?

[distant hare]

The fastest was like 25hrs right?

[dense tangle]

yes you can if its divided into chunks and ha proper lod

you can also set level render dist to 1200 and add some slight turns and a treeline to hide the cutoff

[willow jolt]

By all means go ahead and do it, feel free to prove me wrong, lol. In this occasion I'd love to be proven wrong.

[dense tangle]

ive never tried to make a map, but theoretically it its possible

[willow jolt]

Ok

[restive wraith]

You can just release it as like 50 seperate maps and have loading screens at the end of each map

Nobody will do it in one session anyways

The famous parking lot on tokyo c1 doesn't have an exit on the south irl which explains why it is so awkward and dangerous

[ocean mauve]

advanced pigeon transportation technology

[barren magnet]

rear struts and leafs have left the room

[ocean mauve]

pffff dont need those

[latent ivy]

HOW IS THE PIGEON TALLER THAN THE COVET ITSELF.

This doesn't make sense.

[ocean mauve]

🤷

[latent ivy]

🫨

[junior zodiac]

space factor: the pigeon is a utility vehicle so comfort is minimal, the covet is made for private use so passenger comfort is more important, it should also be noted that the chassis design is not the same: the pigeon is closer to the D-Series in design to carry more cargo while the covet is more comfortable.

[latent ivy]

I see then.

[still canopy]

Ive downloaded the map from ingame repo , but I can't find a way to activate it

@fathom thorn

[fathom thorn]

It automatically activates, and shows up in the map selector when you download it ingame

[still canopy]

but for some reason I can't find it

@fathom thorn

[fathom thorn]

Restart beam and see if it shows up

[still canopy]

nah

When I pressed update all , it began updating those maps

I guess this was the problem

[restive wraith]

Another person became victim of realizing the scale of beamNG cars

[clever agate]

this might be off topic but what would go into merging a design from farm simulator and reworking a existing beamng mod heres an example https://mod-network.com/fs22-mods/detail/5189/fs22-ford-f800-crewcab-dually this is a f800 ford super truck from farm simulator adn beam ng has a mod that has the same looking truck just the in game manufacturer how would one go making the ford super truck a reality using this stuff

[latent ivy]

lol

[spare plover]

someone have good setting for the mod "enhanced chase camera"?

[last jetty]

Someone make another double decker bus

[outer solstice]

do you have permission from both authors to do this?

[tacit wyvern]

what are the best electric truck/ Modern truck mods?

[solid phoenix]

does anyone know any good cintilla gt3 liveries

yknow for the gt3 parts mod

[silver flame]

New to modding beam, how do you preview beam textures/materials on meshes in blender?

[barren magnet]

if you want to view vanilla textures youll need to convert them to png, as blender isnt compatible with dds

[teal prairie]

hey whats the code regarding clutch thermals and torque capability? just inputting "lockTorque" and then a value doesnt seem to effect anything

[teal prairie]

and also prevent piston rings from randomly being damaged while running an engine

[fathom apex]

I've asked before but never got an answer. Is there a way to make vanilla beam DAEs not be so low quality when in blender?

[latent ivy]

Turn on auto smooth and set degrees to 45 or 60 in the properties panel on the right

[cold pewter]

we do a little vanning here and there

[stark grove]

the bake is 100% baking

[opaque falcon]

is there any 8 lug hub conversion mod?

or 8 lug heavy duty hub conversion mod

[delicate pagoda]

Hi all,
Im currently in the proccess of creating my first map. My question is is there a way to Mass smooth the entire map in one go?
i am using a height map and therfore its all somewhat blocky due to the contours.
Thanks!

[small jackal]

Did you make your heightmap as 16bit greyscale png? This is very important. Then you could try a small bit of Gaussian blur in paint program and then reimport heightmap to BeamNG.

[delicate pagoda]

used 8B unfortunately now that you mention it....

[small jackal]

Then you only have 256 heightmap steps. This is bad 😅

[delicate pagoda]

i take that back its is a 16B...

but was originally at 1081*1081 and rezised to 2048

[stuck sentinel]

does anyone have a free tesla model S car? all the ones i see are either super outdated or just cost money

[small jackal]

If you want to know how bad this would drive you can play flight simulator and get some of the car mods. You can drive the whole world then but it looks really weird while driving.

[dense jungle]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/tesla-model-s-plaid-2022.98179/

the best you're gonna get is an automation mod, so take it or leave it

[small jackal]

Then try the Gaussian blur. Try out different strengths of the filter. That’s what I did and it worked for me.

[delicate pagoda]

Thanks! will give it a shot

another question is there any tutorial or hows tos on who to scuplt off-road roads? such as JV or so... or are all the indv. bumps hand crafted?...

[stuck sentinel]

whats a automation mod 😭 mb im new to beamng

[dense jungle]

its vehicles made in the game automation that are exported to beamng

[stuck sentinel]

oh alr

thats fine by me 😭

is it just me or is beamng websites download limited at like 500kbps

cuase my internet runs anywhere from 50-90mbps

[small jackal]

Good tutorial of making heightmaps: https://www.worldofleveldesign.com/categories/ue4/landscape-heightmap-terrain-party.php

[delicate pagoda]

Thanks! ill have a look at it

[dense jungle]

its safer than going onto 3rd party sites

[stuck sentinel]

yeah true tbh

edge blocks alot of 3rd party car mods idk why (dont ask why im using edge i reset my pc a couple days ago)
