because those sites are unsafe, that's why

[opaque falcon]

if im not going to have the 8 lugs hub working properly

imma do this

[opaque falcon]

and now another abomination was born

The tire width is 490 mm

[spark carbon]

Wait hold up I have an idea, Twin engine???

[cosmic slate]

do it pull tho

[opaque falcon]

isnt that a hard thing to do?

[spark carbon]

Yeah but it would be absolutely insane

[opaque falcon]

welp, thats beyond my capability

[spark carbon]

Ahh Man 😒

[opaque falcon]

i mean is beamng even accept multiple engine?

like hows the throttle gearbox gonna work in that condition

[spark carbon]

Yeah there is a covet twin engine mod on the repo

[opaque falcon]

its just 1 engine with 2 mesh

[spark carbon]

Oh

[opaque falcon]

yea

[spark carbon]

But it has two separate gearboxes

[opaque falcon]

i think even making hybrid is hard

[opaque falcon]

did it?

[spark carbon]

Yeah and it syncs them so that they shift at about the same time

[opaque falcon]

well if thats the case i might try that

but before that i still need to fix my bolide

[spark carbon]

Can’t wait to see this then lol

[opaque falcon]

the hub is too fragile

the wheels keep bouncing and then break the hub

[spark carbon]

😭

[opaque falcon]

instead of bouncing up and down, it bounce foward and backward

and break the hubs

[proper plinth]

Wow so cute

[cold pewter]

right hand drive american van goes crazy

[lethal mist]

hi i was wondering if any one here knows how to work with map zoneing i preaty much got most of it down but i cant get it to save the file in the directory noted in one of the dev forms online

[barren magnet]

australia import

[cold pewter]

for real

(im relezing this btw but idk if i wanna make a thread or not !! )

[barren magnet]

are you gonna include it in the police pack? or just separate

[cold pewter]

seperate

im just doing this just so i have a stable income of cha ching thats all

[barren magnet]

lol

fair

[cold pewter]

but im debating whether if i should make a thread or not

[barren magnet]

if its not a big big one, probably just sprinkle it in general projects

[cold pewter]

i mean i have a config list, more of a general list of stuff i plan to do which if its fine i could probably share here

which could determine if its big or not :p

[spare peak]

Even if it was just one long highway?

[late fulcrum]

I'm on the search for a modder that'd love to assist me with importing a map created with assetto into beamng. I'm close friends with the author, and have permission. I'd absolutely LOVE to bring my hometown 3/8s mile oval to the game. Thank you for your time.

willing to pay

[delicate pagoda]

hi guys have another question. the #1 brush on the map i made is still HUGE (as wide as a 10 M Road) why could this be?

usually the smallest brush is a tinly little thing

i suspect it has something to do with terrain resolution

im stetching a 4096x4096 heightmap out to nearly 18KMs

[glad ferry]

we NEED a corvette c8 mod

[celest sundial]

gyatt

[cold pewter]

I made a headlight 🙏

super cool fr

[pastel mist]

looks good but the normal map on the second image looks a bit rough

[cold pewter]

just the render, they came out a bit funky

I’ll probably get new headlight textures but again idk

[spiral spade]

i need some help whit livery here cuz i have no idea whats happening or how it works my only theory about this that those 2 colors red and green means its possibile to change them

actually it might help me whit some other liveries

[delicate pagoda]

As I see nearly all the talk here is about car mods is there any dedicated map making section to BeamNG?

[rare pulsar]

Can you guys help with this? When the car switches to the last gear the rpm's start do a weird thing and the car can't speed up.

thats an OBS video btw

[barren magnet]

sealed beam e250 cant hurt you
sealed beam e250:

[obsidian stump]

guys i have a question

how do you move this trolleybus that someone made on beamng mod forum

i figured the problem but idk how fix

[keen jolt]

is this a good polyflow for an fender from ursus c360 (hmmm)

[obsidian stump]

no way is bro making ursus c360

[obsidian stump]

i kinda got the problem solved by messing with engines but it doesnt wanna move even if parking brake is of

[cold pewter]

real, here config btw

[barren magnet]

ill take a look when i get home

[glacial pawn]

With triangles u can't get any flow.

[keen jolt]

but beamng is using dae models, wich only support triangles

[glacial pawn]

Yes, but generally you are working with quads and the last thing before exporting is to triangulate the model.

With quads u can select loops etc.

[barren magnet]

beam automatically converts to tris when importing the dae

so build in quads

[keen jolt]

i can revert it

[glacial pawn]

but "good manner" is when u do it in your 3D software - no one guarantie that Beam do it in the same places (problems with normalmaps ets.)

[spiral spade]

going back to my original question

[barren magnet]

yeah, when shipping always do it in blender and fix any problem areas

[keen jolt]

i built with quads and then used triangulate modifier, and tweaked few places where it was better to connect the second diagonal

[glacial pawn]

generaly I see "problems" here

[barren magnet]

even as quads that flow would be not good

the top is fine

[keen jolt]

yea, i need to redo that

[barren magnet]

theres some unnecessary stuff

but the side is a mess tbh

[keen jolt]

should it go along the top, or should it be a grid?

(the whole side)

[glacial pawn]

@keen jolt https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-new-holland-tractor-td-1898046 some better topology inspiration

[red vigil]

will this be skibidi in game?

[barren magnet]

looks too high poly

[vernal trellis]

Massive blindspots 😍

[willow jolt]

I mean if you just want a 3,000 mile highway with no scenery, it might work, but then you could make a 300 mile one that loops on itself and you wouldn't notice the gradual turn that much. I personally think a map 3000 miles long would be a) a real PITA to make and b) too much of a resource hog to be useful.

Not to mention it would be the majority of a day to run it if you could average 150mph...

[willow jolt]

How many tris is that? 500k?

[celest sundial]

smth like the crew 2's map would be cool

just a scaled down version of the US with major landmarks like LA, Las Vegas, New York

but that'd still be massive for beamng since it took like ~30 minutes to drive accross in tc2

[willow jolt]

Yeah, although I reckon it would be resource intensive it would be less so than a full 1:1 scale highway

TC and TC2 were very low fidelity models and scenery too

[celest sundial]

yeah

[willow jolt]

It takes long enough for Italy to load on my machine, and that's a smallish map, just well packed in

[celest sundial]

isn't there a map that's like WCUSA ECUSA and Utah all together

[willow jolt]

Yeah, there's a new one too that has a few more added...

They were talking about it yesterday in GD1

So, Italy is 2.5miles x 2.5miles

For a USA spanning highway you're talking at least 1000x that on one side

[willow jolt]

Potentially a better idea is a map for each state with a level load between them, still scaled down, like ATS or ETS2

[celest sundial]

yeah

idk how that would work in beam though other than having to switch maps in the menu

[willow jolt]

I think that's the only option... yes

[clever agate]

I do from the farm simulator author but not the beam mod. what would be needed to make this a reality?

I understand getting permission but even if I couldnt what would be needed to make one from scratch

[outer solstice]

permission from both of them to start with

[outer solstice]

jbeam knowkedge, blender and a IDE

[clever agate]

ah I only have blender knowledge what IDE are people using?

[outer solstice]

I would recommend VSCode, but many people use notepad++

[clever agate]

I do have notpad ++ are you good at building mods?

[outer solstice]

i’ve made a couple things work in the past

I wouldn’t be able to physically help you tho, my time is taken up by my own projects

[clever agate]

are people allowed to do commissions in this discord?

[outer solstice]

i’m not sure, but you’d be pretty hard pressed to find someone who would be willing to do it for you

[clever agate]

money is no good to poeple?

dang

[willow jolt]

It's not that, but commissions should reflect the effort put into the mod, right?

[clever agate]

right I agree

[willow jolt]

It can take months to do a proper mod, I.E one worth paying for. That's a big bill, and a lot of effort for someone to then step in and say 'Actually, I don't think it's worth it' so most mods are passion projects.

[clever agate]

gotcha so were talking 100s or 1000s here

[barren magnet]

tens of thousands

for a dev quality mod, youre looking at potentially months to a year depending on how efficient or what youd want

[clever agate]

dang I guess I never knew the amount of work needed to make the Jbeam physics and meshes work correctly

[willow jolt]

Exactly, Beam isn't exactly a game you can just pop quality mods out for easily. FS22, as good as it is, doesn't map even half of the complexity Beam does

[clever agate]

so instead of starting from nothing. what about the other mod I was looking at that is already working for beam. it would basically be changing just the body modeling for the vehicle what kind of work are we looking at there.

[willow jolt]

Some mods have more than one author, lol, because some people are better at different parts. I, for example, am better at modelling than I am at the Jbeam.

[barren magnet]

jbeam would need to be adjusted, model would need to be retopologized to work well in beam

if youre trying to import a model from something else

[clever agate]

is that just as much work as starting from scratch

[barren magnet]

could still be a few weeks to a month worth of work depending on what needs to actually be done

[clever agate]

gotcha

[barren magnet]

no, but theyd need permission from everyone involved

[clever agate]

how do you contact an author? find the post on the fourms? im not on them so idk

[barren magnet]

make an account, see if theyre on discord

and then dm them

state exactly what you wanna do

if they sign off, then go for it

if not, shelve it and call it a day

or get learning

[willow jolt]

What is it you're trying to do? (I'm not offering to do it, I've got a lot going on myself, but I'm curious)

[clever agate]

youre good. let me find it one sec

[willow jolt]

I basically only a few hours during the night to do anything too.. lol

[clever agate]

here we go

[willow jolt]

I see, have you looked to see if there's anything already there? Pickups are actually quite popular mods already, and you have a LOT of configurations you can build in them

and in the vanilla trucks too

[clever agate]

Ive checked and the gravil mod was one of the only proper mods I could find

[willow jolt]

You want a proper Ford branded one?

[clever agate]

yeah thats what im looking for. a friend and I are building a real life version and we wanna drive it around in the game too

iRetr0x someone who goes by this name has supposedly built a mod but I can seem to find it anywhere

[barren magnet]

retr0x has the DFA pack

but thats all lore friendly stuff

[willow jolt]

I would say that some modders have Patreon accounts and will take suggestions, but having real brands is normally a no no, you can get in real trouble taking money for real world brands without a license. So you're kinda limited to people who decide they want the same mod you do, I'm afraid

[clever agate]

figured

[willow jolt]

The other downside of making a mod and selling it is that you're stuck updating it with every game update too.

I wish I has better news, sorry 😐

[clever agate]

its all good beam is a complicated game.

[willow jolt]

Very complicated, lol

The Jbeam for the Bolide's chassis, just the chassis frame alone, ignoring the moving parts, well, parts that should move, is 500 lines long

[clever agate]

how to people decide how things are supposed to bend and crumple

[willow jolt]

It helps if you have an idea of how vehicles are made, and how different materials behave during collisions.

A lot of us are car nerds...

At the same time, there's a lot of mods that don't behave the way a real car would.

[willow jolt]

Myself, I did structural engineering at college, have built and wrecked several rally and track cars.

[clever agate]

talented people geez

[willow jolt]

Nah, just old and nerdy

[dense tangle]

think of beams as springs, they can squish and stretch, nodes are like balls of blutac holding the beams together, and coltris are like paper in between the noodes and beams, collidable but doesnt affect bending much

hydros are basically fancy springs that can expand and strecth at will

those are used for steering etc

theres beamsprng which is how much a beam resists compression

[willow jolt]

and torsion beams, too

[clever agate]

I do remember editing beam files so my driveshafts wouldn’t break under 3000psi turbo builds lol

[fickle jasper]

I'm not a modder but i have a suggestion for a mod please make it so we can change cars wheels into shoping cart wheels so we can drift like this

[cyan drum]

good luck

[fathom pulsar]

what makes beamng think a car is different
i want duplicate cars with different flexbodies to show up in the vehicle selection seperately and not conflict

[patent mist]

Air cooled bete

[celest sundial]

You need an info.json file that is specific to your vehicle and a main jbeam file that is specific to your vehicle

[fathom pulsar]

i change the folder name and name inside info.json and it shows up seperate

what do i need to change in the main jbeam to i assume avoid conflict??

[celest sundial]

Just the names and the file name

[fathom pulsar]

which names

[celest sundial]

The name of the vehicle

I'm pretty sure that's all you have to do, I might be forgetting some steps since it's like 2am

[fathom pulsar]

so name?

[celest sundial]

I think so

[fathom pulsar]

well it seems to be working fine even without that changed and with the jbeams modified to be different

[celest sundial]

I think the main jbeam is just so like when you spawn it you have the options for the body and stuff

[latent ivy]

whats the easiest way to mod beamng?

[paper kraken]

How do I solve the problem of beamNG not responding?

[hearty obsidian]

send this message in at least 5 more channels and you might fix your issue

[foggy palm]

what have i done wrong, why is the body missing?

AND THE DEFAULT BODY is using the CURSED version

[rough iris]

Did you by any chance not rename the body in blender?

[foggy palm]

i renamed the .dae to "autobello_body_halfconvertible"

[rough iris]

You also need to rename the body while you have the file open in blender

In blender, on the right where all the parts are listed, doubble click the body and type _ute after it or something

[foggy palm]

ohhhh

i'm new to blender

[hoary sentinel]

why is there not a new school bus mod yet

the dansworth 2500 is outdated

[outer solstice]

because nobody has made one?

[fathom thorn]

There’s a wentward bus

I think it’s the wentward s3

[marsh field]

I had a question, or a couple actually.

Firstly, what is the difference between the mods in the repository tab, and the automation tab?

Secondly, are there mods on the BeamNG website that aren’t on the Repository?

[fathom thorn]

The automation tab is for cars made in the video game Automation
The repository is for non automation mods

There are mods on the beamng forums which can’t be put on the repository due to the copyright, or them being wip/beta/paid mods

[bright jacinth]

Hello guys I have an question. Where i can find mods for beamng drive ? I was already at modland and on worldofmods but there was not the car that I want. Maybe someone can help me there

[runic wing]

why are all merc mods so high quality but bmws and audis are walmart qualoty?

[ocean mauve]

It's not recommended to use Modland or World of Mods (or other 3rd party sites), as those sites can contain low quality, stolen, and broken/outdated mods, or even viruses.

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.

@lyric solstice can I ask something in dms?

[dense jungle]

this needs pinned

[cold bloom]

Am I cooked with this Mercedes? Or is it "Own" Jbeam?

[dense jungle]

that is definitely a meshlap

its nowhere near close to being its own

[cold bloom]

ok good to know. But i find out that the mod have fog and headlights that middle ones are orange like turn signal, so i will delete this mod

[dense jungle]

where did you get the mod from?

[cold bloom]

From Boosty som creator

with paid and free mods (that was free)

[dense jungle]

just stick to the repository and the forums

[dense jungle]

this is the official advice here

[cold bloom]

yeh i know, but some times i want to try:D it is my own proplem if i get virus or just bad ass mod

[livid oasis]

Here's my finished plan. The map is going to be called Australian Roads. The western third is going to be sandy plains and deserts representing the Outback, the centre third is going to be mountainous representing the Great Dividing Range, and the eastern third is going to be open country. There are hundreds of kilometres of roads and trails including a 30+ km freeway-grade road in the eastern part for high speeds. There is a river and two creeks.

[silver mural]

sorry but I didn't find any mod with honda prelude 3rd gen only 1st gen on this page

can you also tell me how to play maps and car mods?

its my first time playing the game

[cyan drum]

the same way you play vanilla maps and cars

[latent ivy]

but how do you install it?

drag and drop the zip file here

[latent ivy]

okay

[cyan drum]

you can win + r and type %localappdata% to open it quicker, or click "open mods folder" in-game

[latent ivy]

yeah ik

[latent ivy]

do i just drag and drop the mods in here?

yeah

there are more folders in the mods folder

been trying to do laps to dial in ffb

[barren magnet]

i havent tried this out yet, finally getting to it today

just getting a good baseline atm

[agile shell]

this is what i get when i spawn the patriot 2.2 patch. im so damn confused as to why

[barren magnet]

.32 broke a lot of d series mods that have different frames

[agile shell]

ik that but he made an entire patch file for it so im like so confused rn

[barren magnet]

did you clear cache?

[past oasis]

hi chat, ive been searching for a wheel mod, i really want a mod for all cars and most modded ones
for mercedes alphards wheels like this
ive serached a lot and still cant find anything, paid or free

[barren magnet]

likely private or doesnt exist yet

you could learn how to make them, wheels are a good starting point

[past oasis]

im not into that stuff and ive got better stuff to work on but if its eassy i could give it a try

[barren magnet]

if you know how to model

[past oasis]

never done it

[agile shell]

ive deleted, reinstalled, cleared temp/vehicles man ive done alot to try and fix this

i jus wanna drive muh hummer

[barren magnet]

and youre sure it's not a mod conflict with something else

[agile shell]

yeah ive done an entire file search and these two files (gunner_v2.2 and gunner_v2.2_patch) are the only files that i have in the game file

[barren magnet]

why do you have both?

just replace the v2.2 with the patch version

[agile shell]

the contents are diffrent. v2.2 has the vehicle files and 2.2_patch has diffrent contents with no files all just certian broken parts. ive tried to have just 2.2patch and it wont even show up in the vehicle selection

[barren magnet]

that's a really dumb way of doing that

not on you obv, but in general

[agile shell]

yeah man, these paid mods can be some bs sometimes

[barren magnet]

then i would combine them, and replace whatever is in the original with the new ones from the patch

[agile shell]

i will see if that works but if not imma just wait for 2.3 to come out eventually

this is the diffrence between the files btw

[barren magnet]

yeah youll need to replace the jbeams in the original 2.2 with the ones from the patch

its a bit dumb they didnt put them in the folders that they're supposed to go into

so that it would auto merge and replace

[agile shell]

Just tried doing so after i sent the photos. It only works if both files are unzipped and it still dosent even show up in game or only spawns a frame.

Boutta switch to american truck simulator fr

[barren magnet]

yeah idk what to tell you

@quartz stag what exactly does the mod change? i'm feeling some difference but i wouldnt say it's a whole lot better

[agile shell]

Yeah man thanks for your wisdom though. I really appreciate it

what mod car sod i get

[cinder storm]

do yall have recommendations for the An12b controls? the arrow keys are annoying me

[dense jungle]

None of those, only on the repo and forun

[cyan drum]

none, worldofmods is an awful source of mods

[uncut galleon]

Am I cooking or cooked with this level of detail?

[barren magnet]

yes, turn it into a low poly bake

[uncut galleon]

nah my super computer says its fine

[hoary sentinel]

What vehicle is that?

[uncut galleon]

IC CE an American school bus

(before anyone asks its a real bus and its a private mod im working on)

[stoic moon]

fellas

what are the best maps you guys have downloaded

[proven barn]

what track are you on?

[stoic moon]

need some suggestions

[stark gulch]

hey does anyone know where to find a legit version of the toyko express way is?

[cyan drum]

beamng forums

[stark gulch]

i know but i dont know where to download it from the forum

[cyan drum]

scroll down and click the zip file

[stark gulch]

i have the forum for it i just cant see the download link

ok got it im a dingus

[barren magnet]

lakeside park

couldnt end up getting it to feel good

was testing out someones ffb tweak and it helped a little in certain situations but overall i was dealing with the same problem

i think it adds more strength toward the bottom of the curve, so when you're closest to center, because it really wants to self center a lot more

but that exaggerates the snap oversteer

tried it with a couple different vehicles

similar fates

@proven barn https://www.beamng.com/resources/lakeside-park-raceway.10895/

this map is basically my benchmark for handling. has a lot of weight transfer situations in it, an off camber turn at the back section, and just overall is a fun track to hotlap

[proven barn]

hmm yeah that would be annoying

have you played LFS?

[proven barn]

Ahh, I remember this track!

[hoary sentinel]

Private mod meaning it won’t be released?

[hoary sentinel]

Thanks to you too

[barren magnet]

tons

[hoary sentinel]

After 3 years I can’t install MODS

ON BEAMNG THAT ARE NON-REPO

[barren magnet]

why not

[hoary sentinel]

i do it but it never works

[barren magnet]

are you putting them in the correct spot?

[hoary sentinel]

i searched it up

unzip, put in mods folder

[barren magnet]

dont unzip

[hoary sentinel]

so then keep it zipped?

[barren magnet]

mods need to be packed. if theyre unzipped they go in an “unpacked” folder, but thats usually for testing/modding

so yes, leave it zipped

[hoary sentinel]

okay

then i put it in mod folder

[barren magnet]

yes

[hoary sentinel]

cuz i wanna get the gavril scout. great mod, nice interior

except its not on repo

[barren magnet]

you have to buy it

[hoary sentinel]

ik

[hoary sentinel]

gumroad,

[barren magnet]

yes

[hoary sentinel]

except my issue is that i try downloading mods from forums

it never works when they are zipped

[barren magnet]

and you’re in the .32 user folder correct

[hoary sentinel]

fym

[barren magnet]

beamng.drive/.32/mods

your user folder

[hoary sentinel]

pretty sure

except i’m on mobile and i’m not getting up to my pc rn to check

[barren magnet]

and you dont play beammp?

[hoary sentinel]

i used to

i didn’t like it too much

[barren magnet]

every person ive seen with problems installing mods the right way, has played mp

[hoary sentinel]

i uninstalled it

[barren magnet]

i personally dont play it, so i dont know how it works with your user folder

[hoary sentinel]

yeah

its so frustrating

[barren magnet]

but if youre putting them in the right spot, leaving them zipped, i don’t know what the problem would be

[hoary sentinel]

all i wanna do is use a mod

except i watch countless video

[barren magnet]

can you take a screenshot of the folder structure where youre putting them

[hoary sentinel]

sure

hold

ok but also:

i have 2

i renamed one

cuz of ocd

but here:

@barren magnet

[barren magnet]

these are just shortcuts, and the second picture looks nothing like where they should be going

by file structure, im meaning in the directory bar, what does it say

it should be like /C:/BeamNG.Drive/0.32/mods

if its not like that, then youre not putting them in the right place

[barren magnet]

the way this is setup, nothing would work

[true python]

ive always been a little unsatisfied with the crashes (accidents) in base beamng, is there some kind of mod that adds like smoke clouds or sends nuts and bolts flying on impact or something to that idea? I think itd be funny to get in an accident then see just how damaged the car is after the smoke clears plus thats how it looks in real life

[barren magnet]

no

[true python]

nice, very helpful 👍

[barren magnet]

@hoary sentinel this is how the formatting of the mods folder should look

[proven barn]

I just got it over the weekend, and man going back to beam feels hard after experiencing FFB that good and predictable

[barren magnet]

lol that's what sucks. Assetto and LFS were my baseline, and i still can't get beam to feel even remotely close

[proven barn]

I actually tried assetto over the weekend as well and really didn't like it

[barren magnet]

not trying to shut it down, there just isnt anything like that

with assetto you gotta really fine tune stuff

and a LUT is necessary

my assetto settings vs lfs are very different

[proven barn]

the steering didn't feel nearly as communicative, there was a big disconnect between what I thought would happen and what would actually happen through every corner

[barren magnet]

were you just using vanilla cars on assetto?

[proven barn]

yeah, I figured that was the case; I didn't dive too terribly deep into the settings beyond adjusting the main ones for ffb strength

[proven barn]

both

[cyan drum]

I once tried an AC ariel atom mod and the FFB was straight up unusable

[barren magnet]

yeah there are some mods that just suck

but there are some really great ones too

a lot of the SRP cars are great feeling

[cyan drum]

max strength at all times, while also rattling when the wheel was fully centered, and would also pan to the sides constantly

[barren magnet]

i run between 80-100% strength, never over that

[proven barn]

OH YEAH, going over any bumps would rattle the steering so damn much it'd reverberate throughout the aluminum chassis lol

[proven barn]

I had to turn it down to like 25 lol

[barren magnet]

yeah, the road/kerb feel is bad

[hoary sentinel]

@barren magnet

[proven barn]

perhaps i'll have to give it another go at some point

[barren magnet]

for 920, this is what i run

[hoary sentinel]

so to get it in the correct place, i could type the 0.32 beamng ?

[barren magnet]

? no

just open your user folder

[proven barn]

it's wild how ffb quality totally changes how easy it is to drive as well. I was drifting incredible well in lfs, and could not even consistently do donuts in assetto lol

[hoary sentinel]

and where is that

[hoary sentinel]

plus what os is that

[proven barn]

any CSP settings?

[barren magnet]

when you launch the game

[barren magnet]

win10

[hoary sentinel]

K

[proven barn]

mmmyes good csp settings

[barren magnet]

poop

had wrong reply

[proven barn]

xD

[hoary sentinel]

I am quite literally the most stupid person in BeamNG history

.

[barren magnet]

the bar is pretty low, youre not doing too bad

so when you want to install a mod manually, you have to drag the zip into the mods folder

[hoary sentinel]

K

[barren magnet]

don't place it in repo, and if for whatever reason it needs to be unpacked, you can unzip it and place it in a new folder named "unpacked"

[barren magnet]

pretty sure this is as standard, honestly its been so long since i tinkered with anything

once i got it to a point where i was happy, i havent touched it

[proven barn]

I’ll have to try that, I’m not entirely sure if that’s what I have

[hoary sentinel]

So Don’t place the downloaded mod in the “repo” section?

minor typo.

[barren magnet]

correct

it just needs to go in the mods folder, neither of the sub folders

[barren magnet]

it should look like this

[hoary sentinel]

just place it in that one folder correct

[barren magnet]

it goes in the mods folder,

[hoary sentinel]

ik

but not repo

[barren magnet]

correct

[hoary sentinel]

[languid totem]

how do I check if a mod is safe?

[hearty obsidian]

download it from the forum or repo

[languid totem]

repo?

[hearty obsidian]

the in game tab for downloading mods

[languid totem]

Wait but its a modland mod, a BMW M4. How do I get there from the forum

[austere wyvern]

can someone help me figure out why the new drift island wont work plz

[hearty obsidian]

i wouldn’t download from modland

[austere wyvern]

i have followed there install instructions and it still dont work

[languid totem]

Do you know where else I could get a BMW?

[barren magnet]

all you need is the zip

you dont need the original

[austere wyvern]

yeah i removed the og

[hearty obsidian]

the forums

[austere wyvern]

still doesnt work

[barren magnet]

and did you install it to the right place?

[austere wyvern]

is there any channel on here where i can stream my screen for you

cuz i honestly dont know

[barren magnet]

no vcs here

[austere wyvern]

ill send you an invite to mine

[barren magnet]

it just needs to be placed in the mods folder

[barren magnet]

i dont accept invites from public discords, sorry

[austere wyvern]

rip

welp it doesnt come as a zip either i dont think but ill try

[barren magnet]

if it doesnt come as a zip, where are you getting it from?

[languid totem]

So im on the forums and there are currently no BMW mods

[austere wyvern]

thank you that worked

i have gotten to used to installing mx bikes mods

it does im just used to mx hating winrar files and having to move the folders over

[barren magnet]

i recommend getting 7zip

[barren magnet]

there are plenty on the forums, the search function just sucks

but i dont think anyone has published an m4

[languid totem]

Alright so far so good from modland. I just had an antivirus scan it

[hearty obsidian]

could just be pirated like most are

[foggy stump]

dont use mods from modland pls

they are all stolen models and dookie crash physics and collisions

and also probably contain malware

[dense jungle]

Search on google “site:beamng.com bmw” and don’t use modland

[tawny lynx]

Guys, could somebody please check if the engine in my "Ibishu BX-ETK I-Series Inline 6 Swap" mod is golden? (I'm not joking) It has already 400 downloads and I'm not sure if they experience this issue, because only one user addressed this issue in the Discord thread, so it's a big mystery to me and I'm not home, so I have no way to check if it's actually golden.

[lone saddle]

guys im using the CK Graphics Settings Mod and when i try to open it in game nothing happens

you need to assign a new keybind

go into settings and find the current key assigned to the mod

What exactly are you into when it comes to cars?
There’s a bunch of different good car mods, although unless you’re the kind of person to download 1000 mods, „must haves” are probably more of something you’ll like more than just something of high quality

Hello guys I have an question. Can someone create an BMW X4 M40i ? I searched the car on many websites but I can’t find it and i love the car. Here is an picture from the BMW

[cyan drum]

no

[cursive peak]

[fathom latch]

I'm a bit late to the party, but I don't think anyone acknowledged how cool this is. Was looking into scissor doors myself and all I was seeing was "take a look at the vertex." As you say, all other attempts are butterfly doors and not full scissor. Would love a version of this if you don't mind sharing, would save me the effort of trying to figure it out from scratch 😂

[grand yoke]

damn we got 2 kei trucks the same day posted within minutes of each other, from separate authors

[silver condor]

has anyone shared a pack of us compilant road sign meshes

[pallid lynx]

Can’t wait to install and check them out.

[fickle jasper]

i like the kevin one better in my opinion

[grand yoke]

kevin seems a tad bit more polished atm

[fickle jasper]

i just like the smoothings of the cab and it not being all blocky

and its more acurate to the real thing

[pallid lynx]

Will you post screenshots of them

[fickle jasper]

this

[pallid lynx]

Yeah

[fickle jasper]

srry monke i didnt now how else to like someone to another persons post

[grand yoke]

i've been looking for one irl for forever but importing is gonna take a decade and be expensive af, but local offerings are hovering around 8k

[grand yoke]

all good, this is how btw

[fickle jasper]

search they up on facebook marketplace lol

[fickle jasper]

i just replied to u

[pallid lynx]

It’s cheaper to import if you do all of the paperwork yourself

[grand yoke]

ima miss a line somewhere

[pallid lynx]

Because you aren’t paying someone to do it for you

[grand yoke]

they've gotten a tad bit cheaper but still

[pallid lynx]

Not bad considering what other imported vehicles are being sold for

[grand yoke]

woah freezer bed

kei ice cream truck

[fickle jasper]

ICE CREAM

[grand yoke]

there are a good few tilt beds on here too

and some kei vans

[fickle jasper]

heres the kevin truck i guess

[grand yoke]

all the cheap ones are rusted tf out tho

importing and doing my own paper work is prob the cheapest

[grand yoke]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/91-96-ibishu-shima.30962/
https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-kevin-kei-truck.30979/

their repo pages have ss's

[pallid lynx]

The costs also add up for getting a shipping container and a spot for it on a boat and the fees to load and unload it then the costs you have pay to get it out of storage in the warehouse it’s being stored in and it can add up very fast

[grand yoke]

yeah it'd end up being roughly the same cost

[pallid lynx]

Tbh it’s a lot of work

It just depends on what your importing

And if you want to save a few bucks or not

If it’s a gtr for example it’s worth importing instead of buying from people who already have imported one as they usually mark the prices up

R32 for 30k+ is just stupid

[grand yoke]

looking like import via a broker is around the same cost, maybe a bit more, than just buying one already here

for kei trucks at least

[fickle jasper]

and the chance of it going overboard in rough waves

[grand yoke]

thats what shipping insurance is for

[pallid lynx]

Very unlikely and you will be reimbursed cus insurance

[fickle jasper]

wait theres a thing as shipping insurance?

[grand yoke]

yea

its an extra fee if nothing happens

its very useful to have if something does

seems to be some flat rate ($10 or so) + extra for every $100 over a set cost
ex: usps is $12.15 flat rate + $1.85 per $100 over $600

[fickle jasper]

hey do you know why THIS keeps happening lol

[grand yoke]

what

[fickle jasper]

the front 2 wheels keep comeing off

[grand yoke]

maybe weak jbeam or something

both kei trucks are pretty early in development

[fickle jasper]

can u report it to the mod devs bc i dont have a beamng account its the kevin kei truck

[upper cedar]

anyone have an ls430 mod

[astral jungle]

Can anyone help me what is the mission or mod to overtake a truck?

[valid flax]

why do people like kei trucks

[grand yoke]

they're just neat

[valid flax]

makes sense

this IS america

[grand yoke]

kei trucks aren't something we really have anything similar to in the us

[valid flax]

the s10

the s15

[grand yoke]

kei trucks are smaller

[valid flax]

true

but the s10 has more functionality

[grand yoke]

kei truck has enough for day to day

[valid flax]

i mean yeah but its a stretch and a very long one at that

[grand yoke]

i mean i have looked into the older usdm trucks made before trucks all got fuckin massive but kei trucks are just cooler imo

theres like 2 or 3 that drive around where i am and every time i see one i gotta go look at marketplace n stuff to see if any deals popped up

[valid flax]

idk man a 4.3 vortec just pulls better than a i3

[grand yoke]

i dont really care about power in this case

thats what my e46 m3 is for

[valid flax]

4.3 doesnt even have a lot of power its about convienence, it doesnt take long to get to highway speeds

[fathom thorn]

They’re cool and different
There was also no normal ones in beam yet

[valid flax]

now a kei truck with something like a busa engine would be awesome

[grand yoke]

90% sure poeple have put bike engines in em

and theres also the ones with the engine in the bed

[fathom thorn]

People have put ones in smart cars before
It’s been done

[valid flax]

now smart cars are terribly put together POS's id rather put a busa engine in a golf cart

[grand yoke]

people have put bike engines in pretty much anything light enough for them to move

ex: leaf w/ ninja engine while retaining electric motors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVlMxQaAf-k

[valid flax]

i wouldnt even touch a nissan

because with me its about reliability

or matt's 1000cc cbr powered honda s600 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4Cl6z0OL5M

yknow actually a vmax swap would be better now that i think about it

1st or 2nd gen

[grand yoke]

also hoonigan put a 13b in a kei

[valid flax]

what is a 13b

[grand yoke]

mazda rotary

[valid flax]

like a rx7?

[grand yoke]

ya

[valid flax]

rotary's aren't a good daily drive, they're great race motors although

[grand yoke]

they're pretty small which makes it good for a kei

[valid flax]

are kei's cramped?

[grand yoke]

like engine wise or what

[valid flax]

to fit in

[fathom thorn]

The trucks aren’t unless you’re a large person
The cars can be if you are tall

[valid flax]

to what size could you not fit into one

[barren magnet]

probably 6’ 1”

japanese average height (and most of asia and SEA) is sub 5’ 11”

[valid flax]

ill stick with the s10 i guess

[barren magnet]

i mean theyre not meant for the us market

they were never meant to accommodate the size of the country or its people

they work fantastic in asia bc its mostly dense

here we’re too spread out

[valid flax]

i understand

[barren magnet]

they make fantastic bush vehicles though, i know like 3 or 4 farmers that run one or two of them for their runabout vehicles

cheaper than a sxs and more features

and more payload

some of the vans have more headroom tho

[grand yoke]

if i were to get a kei it'd just be for work commute and errands prob

[valid flax]

i know a farmer named betty ann and i dont think a kei truck tops her old kubota on bed space

[barren magnet]

do you know how big a kei truck is

theyre larger than your standard sxs

[valid flax]

kei truck size

[valid flax]

thats a little ass sxs

[barren magnet]

it still has a larger bed than a deere truck

https://i0.wp.com/www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/acty2.jpg

like 3 or 4in shorter than a tacoma bed

and a similar capacity in terms of weight

theyre not as small as youre thinking

[valid flax]

the tacoma is toyotas small model and has more towing and payload capacity

[barren magnet]

a carry’s payload is 1630lbs, taco maxes at 1700

so barely

[grand yoke]

to be fair the taco is gonna handle that 1700 better than the carry

[barren magnet]

and a tacoma bed is plenty for 95% of truck buyers

[barren magnet]

true, but its still capable

[valid flax]

idk man, to say the kei truck's suspension and power is basically en par with the tacoma is crazy

[barren magnet]

i didnt say that at all

[valid flax]

implied

[barren magnet]

not even

[grand yoke]

the point is the kei truck can do it, not that its gonna feel the same as the taco

[barren magnet]

you were saying a kubota could carry more

[valid flax]

didnt say that

[barren magnet]

i was saying kei trucks can carry the same as a taco

bed space, mb

similar metric that i was comparing the kei truck to the taco

if your betty ann has a kubota with a bigger bed than a taco then maybe she should upgrade

[valid flax]

why would she upgrade

[barren magnet]

get something with more amenities

idk

at this point it feels like youre arguing for the sake of arguing

they got their purpose, its not meant for our market, but they would be useful here still

[valid flax]

now you get it

[grand yoke]

i just want a kei truck cause they're neat

[valid flax]

valid

[grand yoke]

and it'd do enough for what i'd need out a truck

im not haulin lumber n shit

[valid flax]

although i hate the narrative that nobody needs a big modern truck and everybody should drive kei trucks and dance through sunflower fields and shit

[grand yoke]

im not making that argument and i dont think rommb was either to be fair

[valid flax]

i know

just getting it off my chest

[grand yoke]

i do kinda hate how fucking huge modern trucks are tho

and how there aren't really small options comparable to the old ones

[valid flax]

the small options are the used options

[grand yoke]

it would be nice to have a new truck with all modern things that is the same size as say... a s10 or nissan hardbody

[valid flax]

well i mean with the same money you could buy an 80k new truck you can make a s10 restomod with 55k to spare at the least

you are helping yourself financially

[grand yoke]

i'd imagine a small modern truck wouldn't cost the 80k that the huge ones rn do

but yeah

[valid flax]

exactly

just have to put in the work

and you can even make it a little more powerful too, drop a pontiac 455 in there

[grand yoke]

the new ranger/maverick are close to what i'd want but even they are a little large

and they start at 23-32

[valid flax]

im gonna be honest here, just get a car, if you think modern trucks are too big, and you dont need one

a part of being a truck owner is dealing with the size

[barren magnet]

modern trucks are objectively huge for no real reason

like i said before, a solid 90% of people could get by and be happy with a tacoma or ranger

[fathom thorn]

Eh
The hoods are just much taller, and they are bulkier

They haven’t gotten that much larger, only a bit taller

[barren magnet]

theyre longer and taller than they need to be

[fathom thorn]

It would also vary truck to truck

[barren magnet]

but use case wise, theyre much larger than most people need

a solid half of the people i know that own a full size truck dont use them for anything that couldnt easily be accomplished by a midsize

[fathom thorn]

True

[valid flax]

people get big trucks because this is america and whats the point in cheap gas if you cant waste it, its not like we're in europe, were people drive shit cars like pegeouts, we drive chevy's, because we are american

[barren magnet]

our chevys are built in mexico and china

[valid flax]

unfortunately

[barren magnet]

besides the fullsizes, pretty much everything else is manufactured outside of the states

and in a lot of cases we have some of the same cars as europe now

[valid flax]

it doesnt matter where they're built. We are americans, second to none.

[barren magnet]

you’re right, we come in third in a lot of metrics, even lower

[valid flax]

we come first in oil demand though

[barren magnet]

big ass country with big ass roads and big ass vehicles

[valid flax]

and we get our oil because our military is also #1

and we have the luxury to not live in communist or socialist countries that are #1 in some of those metrics. That makes my country OK in my book

[barren magnet]

we got a lot we can improve on

politics aside

[valid flax]

doesnt every country?

[barren magnet]

yes

[valid flax]

i rest my case the same as i can rest my eyes easy at night

[latent ivy]

im not saying that we can't have that in america, actually i'd prefer more market choices, but im just saying that nobody who has a large truck can be told to not own one, because we live in a free country, america built off the revolution of tyranny

[latent ivy]

Makes sense.

[barren magnet]

i think our cafe standards need to be revised to allow more competition in the smaller truck market

the maverick sold like hotcakes, i'd love to see more from other manufacturers

but it likely wont happen bc they struggle to meet cafe requirements

even with a hybrid option

[valid flax]

Oh and guys remember, buy cars before 1974 so you don't have to run catalytic converters. Robs horsepower.

[barren magnet]

same with egr and charcoal canisters

MIHES man i hate emission standards

[barren magnet]

tbf the air quality thing is nice but maybe the smog would help with the mosquitoes

[valid flax]

disintegrate all water, good for the mosquitos means bad for us

Create Hydrogen Peroxide out of the water, mix with Acetone and Hydrochloric Acid. 30% H2O2 - 1:1:0.25. Let refrigerate and create TATP out of the water

*legally registered with the ATF although

[burnt void]

i emit 3x the legal co2 limit so that the prius driver who thinks they are helping is actually doing nothing

https://i.imgur.com/WoEftk4.png This may make things a bit more enlightening.

Soliad Hatchback. Based on some early eighties J-body cavalier body types. So, it will be a mid sized American hatchback. Something NOONE asked for.

[unkempt wagon]

Hi guys

Where do i find the slot name for the bx . I want to add my custom seat help someone

[outer solstice]

open up the bx.zip file and find the seat jbeam, should be there

[unkempt wagon]

There is no jbeam for the seat 😭

[outer solstice]

there gotta be

[unkempt wagon]

I am trying so hard to find any reff in the code

RhD no reff

[outer solstice]

check under the body jbeam file

[unkempt wagon]

What the. The coupe got a seat reff but not the hatch how ?

[celest sundial]

Chat is this a foxbody

[fathom thorn]

There’s already a soliad fox body mod

[celest sundial]

Yeah but it's broken

[fathom thorn]

It is?

[celest sundial]

Yeah the bx update messed up the textures

[fathom thorn]

It’s based on an 80s j body Chevrolet cavalier

[frank rune]

Does anyone know of a good Dodge Viper mod? Every mod i find is pretty bad

[pallid lynx]

there isn't one

i swear their all mesh slaps

[onyx widget]

My mod is seen on Reddit.
Nice

I mean, the engine swap bellow.

Somebody was complaing, that this is not a good combination or "the engine will overheat quickly".
Just a reminder that this is my first repo mod. Secondly, I have to agree that 3.0L Inline-6 overheats at 2 bars of boost.

[surreal thistle]

Would love to find one of those as well

[willow jolt]

Unlikely, but have a look on the forum or the showcase forum here and you might see what you're after. Out of curiosity, what are you looking for?

[celest sundial]

decent or ass?

[willow jolt]

The grille looks off, where objects need to be uniform you can position the vertices using numerical inputs, and that will make everything fit better

Other than that, it's not bad

[celest sundial]

I just used solidify face for all of the grille, I need to find a better way of doing it

since the samurai almost has like little groups that are like rounded off on the edges

[willow jolt]

solidify gives odd results

[willow jolt]

Once you have a texture on it these rounded parts (or not rounded parts) are less obvious

[celest sundial]

yeah I also have no idea how to texture, this is my first time really modelling something that isn't like super low poly or just modifying pre-existing things

[willow jolt]

TBF, texturing isn't as hard as it looks.

[celest sundial]

I've watched a few yt tutorials on like baking and stuff

[willow jolt]

Blender has an auto-unwrap mode, and you can manually place cuts etc. then it's just a case of dragging and dropping the details

Ans example, the radiator is straight and flat

and that's a super low res texture too

[celest sundial]

I wonder if it'd be easier to start with the jimny grille

[willow jolt]

Is it important you can see through the grille?

[celest sundial]

I'd like it to, just because it'd be higher quality

[willow jolt]

If not I'd model it flat and use normals to pick out the details

[willow jolt]

Well, I won't disagree with high quality

But if you look at the radiator example there's not even a normal map on it but it looks like it has smoothed curved edges. But there's nothing like that in the model

[celest sundial]

I could just resize the grille from the hopper

[meager plinth]

I never made a BeamNG mod, but just popping in here to give a sick idea, for anyone up for a challange,
Wouldnt it be sick if you took the Universal dummy mod, and added VR to the driver / passangers, Like the arms would follow the controllers (optionally) and the head would follow the headset

Now, why would this be good/cool? you might ask, just imagine 2th person POV's if you can actually see them looking around, and the awsome vibe it could be if multiple people with beamng multiplayer Could actually look and point at each other when sitting in the same vehicle

[candid slate]

i have this is300 mod but with the rims that come with it there is no tire I can put on, im wondering if anybody has the tire pack required for it to work properly?

also its only on 2 certain rims, or a certain config

if you do have it @ me or dm it to me please

[upper cedar]

is it the jsd mod pack?

[candid slate]

it might be

not 100% sure tho

[mental steppe]

Anyone know any good german car mods on the forums?

[old fable]

I am looking for someone who could make Tesla models that have not yet been created like the Model Y, the Cybertruck design of 2024, the Tesla Semi, or the Model 3 Performance 2024

[viral heart]

we dont even know how the cybertruck works yet man

its kinda hard to make an accurate mod when nobody has documents on cybertruck stuff

[old fable]

but there are already free 3d models of the cybertruck, this can't work? otherwise there is already a cybertruck mod made by royal rendering

But it’s the old design

[covert totem]

the model isnt the worry

its the physics i think

[old fable]

Ah OK. but otherwise I always wonder why no one created the model y

[willow jolt]

It's great at slicing veg

[willow jolt]

I mean the Cybertruck looks like a super-low poly model of itself, so that's not surprising lol

[willow jolt]

Lack of interest, mostly

[viral heart]

Yeah respectfully the last vehicle I'd ever really care about being in beam is a tesla. They're just apple phones with wheels

I'd rather see a fiat multipla. At least those things have a personality

[dense jungle]

Royal renderings is a scam

Do not whatsoever look into buying any of those types of mods

[willow jolt]

Even if the choice was Tesla or Tesla, I think I'd go back to bed 🤣

[old fable]

each one their personal opinion 🤷🏻

[old fable]

Why ?

[mighty basin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In0ChPF0RUA&t=13s

[old fable]

okay I didn't see it like that 😅

and so who is the best mod creator?

[onyx dirge]

Plus they've likely profitted more from my BeamNG work than I ever have in 10 years of modding the game

[limpid token]

10 YEARS!? Huge respect for you man

[maiden night]

https://i.imgur.com/HnSp30N.png Trying to get the C pillar looking correct has been a real bear. The main issues is the car I was trying to emulate has a much more square roof that is as wide as the car. The roof of the Wendover is more narrow than the body. Also since there is no blueprint I have to imagine everything.

[latent ivy]

One day we’ll get a Porsche 911 copycat 😭

[fathom thorn]

There’s no “best” mod creator

[latent ivy]

Ohhh I need that 😭

[maiden night]

https://i.imgur.com/nWaXI2e.png Bruh I made an american SBR 🤣

[limpid token]

🤣

[barren magnet]

ill be honest when i first saw this i was wondering if it was gonna be a “first gen” SBR

[limpid token]

Now you need to put the engine at the back💀

[maiden night]

You know how big this thing is LMAO. A rear engine rear wheel drive Wendover is damn wild to think about. Yeah, that is well beyone my current skills. Holy crap it would be cool.

[neon magnet]

Hows the tailgate? Also imo curve the rear so it matches with the current design language

[maiden night]

@neon magnet It is using the base shape of the trunk. I think it looks pretty good tbh https://i.imgur.com/DrTgQuH.png

I recessed the window a bit.

[neon magnet]

Imo rear curve would help, but upto you still

Ctrl r and make it less straight if ever

[maiden night]

https://i.imgur.com/n6G6IDu.png I think you may be right. I do like that better

[neon magnet]

Thats not what i mean

Hold on

[neon magnet]

God bless remix

[maiden night]

Yeah, I will subdivide the glass and add a bit more bubble

[neon magnet]

Make those curved to unify the whole body design, looks weird when its just a straight line in a design full of curve

[neon magnet]

Thats good

Hope it goes well

Whats the lore btw

[maiden night]

That is a good question. Honestly I just wanted to inject the Hatchback of an early 80's Chevrolet Cavalier. After starting I realized that the body shape and the general idea of it is proposterous. The Wendover is not a amall car. In some parts of the world it would be considered a fullsize car. So if there was a lore I would say that it was a rare Race inspired roofline to mimic the 1992 Soliad Wendover stock car.

[neon magnet]

Interesting, hope it paves way for race inspired configs

[maiden night]

https://i.imgur.com/DAKtXPz.png It has a bit of curve now. I do appreciate the input btw. I am learning new little blender tricks all the time.

[proven shore]

Can someone create a skin for me for trucks and cars, I also pay for the design and so I'll send it along

[barren magnet]

why not do it yourself

skins arent too hard to make, and there are plenty of tutorials and documentation on them

[proven shore]

This is too annoying for me

[proven shore]

No

[barren magnet]

🤷

[dense tangle]

why imgur link?

[sterile lynx]

if any admins see this, is it possible to get a mod showcase post for a mod im making? if u want to see what im making i can post it here later or just dm

Ping a mod and attach some screenshots of what you are making
