[barren magnet]

rhe first thing youll need to do is learn about topology and how to simplify

for good deformation, youll want quads as much as possible

so four verts to a face

[austere lake]

yeah i know it's not that easy, but it was to show aproximatively what i wanted to do
for example, to make this side, i basically use two triangle fixtures and 1 square fixture

so in beamng drive, if i collide with something, it with deform like 2 triangle and 1 square
so i would like to do something so beamng drive know that these three piece for example, are one and unique piece that need to deform as one piece, and not as 3 different pieces that can deform into three different ways

also i just found how to show it
but i think that's waayyyyy too high
and that's because i have a LOT of fixtures that overlap
and so, a lot of useless faces, verticles and edges

[wanton fable]

from 1-10 how hard is it to make a map

[shrewd turret]

does any1 have a nice ferarri f40 mod? free

[hearty obsidian]

no

[rough iris]

So I did a thing...
Is this cool af or an abomination of mankind?

[barren magnet]

idk how i feel about the 6 door but the ramp over top is cool

[rough iris]

well I just made it work on the regular upfit frame (but as 6x6 cause why not)

[fathom thorn]

The front suspension looks nearly collapsed

[rough iris]

I could add stiffer springs maybe

[barren magnet]

3 ibishu kevins

[ocean mauve]

helo

[rough iris]

is that a pigeon specific trailer extension?

[ocean mauve]

yeah for the 3 wheeler only

[rough iris]

ok that is cool

[ocean mauve]

yours is def cooler

[ocean mauve]

this one

[rough iris]

can there be to much customisation?

[barren magnet]

having more flatbed upfits is a plus in general

i find the regular one too big sometimes

[rough iris]

well mine is same if not a little bigger

[barren magnet]

how about width?

[rough iris]

yea its a bit wider but lenght is the same

[barren magnet]

hmm

maybe its just the pictures

they look better proportionally

[rough iris]

but it does offer a longer version with 0.7m more lengh in the front and has an optional rear cage extension for another meter

longest vs shortest

[rough iris]

so many flatbeds!

[strange kettle]

holy moly

[strange kettle]

lol wait what happens on a turn

[ocean mauve]

they go everywhere

there is a reason i never finished the stuff for the front and rear pigeons 🥲

[undone bluff]

does anyone here mess around with the jbeams/json files

[ocean mauve]

yea, most beamng mods use those, so youre in the right place

[undone bluff]

what do yall use to be able to access and alter the file

[ocean mauve]

any text editor, even standard notepad will do

but the recommended options are notepad++ or visual studio code

[heady bane]

i cant mod

[ocean mauve]

press buttons

ez

[wanton fable]

can someone make a 60's style map

[rough iris]

hauling your offroad vehicles offroad!

funfact: when you press numpad 0, the car goes in a sort of one pedal driving mode until you press the brake again, meaning it holds the brakes, which is useful for loading cars on flatbeds!

[latent ivy]

theoretically, could i buy the formula rss mod for assetto corsa, plop the meshes into blender, jbeam them and have a fully fledge f1 car for beamng?

[ocean mauve]

"jbeam them" = spend months or even years learning how to properly jbeam a full car? then yes

[fathom thorn]

That’s a very simplified way to look at it
And using paid models in a free mod (if you plane to upload) is a bad idea

[latent ivy]

i know, thats why i said "theoretically" really because i have no idea about modding, just a question to know if there would be a possibility to have a fully fledge f1 car for beam

and why is it a bad idea? Because I would be minus when it comes that i paid for something, spent countless hours to perfect it just to be free?

[fathom thorn]

An f1 car would be one of the hardest vehicles to make accurate

[latent ivy]

yeah especially with the new regulations

[fathom thorn]

If someone else made the model, and it is behind a paywall you shouldn’t use it
If you were to, you’d need permission from the creator

[latent ivy]

yeah didnt think of that, but theoretically, it is possible?

[abstract mango]

looks sick

oops, sorry for the @

[rough iris]

thanks!

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @abstract mango (current: #373 - 3)

[frank cove]

Theoretically? yes. Realistically? No.

Especially as a downforce update for beam is imminent

So all your work could be for nothing

[low heath]

downforce update??…

[frank cove]

They have mentioned about needing to update the downforce model and tire model

They are both rather old atm and holding the game back

At least in terms of a racing sim

[verbal kelp]

A little something stupid I am working on lol
Don't feel like making a thread for it yet since I don't even know if I will finish it, but I wanted to share it to see if anyone is interested

Mod?

[ocean mauve]

yes

it is a mod

[dim palm]

Does anybody have any info on how to start a boost by gear intake part? I tried looking at other mods and I can't even find a boost by gear for the scintilla

[glad ferry]

what about a quadra r v-tech?

[dim palm]

Wdym?

[glad ferry]

i might try to make a mod soon

and was thinking of ideas

[rough iris]

Parts of it are not released yet, but the 6x6 and the flatbed without the stuff on it are already available! Rest will come with the next update to my mod: https://www.beamng.com/resources/gamer-s-ultimate-pickup-parts.29272/

[latent ivy]

Looks sick! Gamer’s mod right?

[quick crow]

i think the ETK K series uses something like that, should be in the ECUs jbeam

@dim palm

[dim palm]

It's fine I already got it

I just did random shit and managed to make it

[dense jungle]

Doingbwhat i could never do

[rough iris]

Yes, it's soon be added to the mod!

[dim palm]

I'm so confused what would you even change to make it dampen the shake?

[latent ivy]

Can't wait, thanks!

[lyric cedar]

[frank cove]

Stiffer = vibration into chassis
Softer = vibration in engine

In all performance applications including race cars you want the motor mounts to be as stiff as possible, sometimes even just being hard mounted.

My best guess is making the spring values larger = stiffer, but documentation will be your best freind to confirm if that is true

Hopefully that helps

[spark carbon]

So I know about the Tokyo expressway (I think that’s what it is called) but does anyone know about any other maps that are like it?

[green pier]

only similar ones i know of are paid so likely will have issues with authors etc

and for AC so you’d have to convert, which isn’t hard and would be fine for personal use but sharing would be bad

[keen jolt]

good poly flow?

[cold pewter]

pretty good hut you could lower this area a bit

to be less dense

[keen jolt]

now?

(2 less)

[cold pewter]

Yeah that’s a little better

i would probably do it like this

but again that’s my preference

[keen jolt]

i would do the nodes like this:

[median pewter]

is it okay to ask if someone knows about a mod or has seen a mod? i want to try find a mod but no results on the forum.

[dense jungle]

search it on google with Site:beamng.com at the start of the search

[ocean mauve]

👆 or feel free to ask here

[median pewter]

do you know of a mod that changes how shifting is bound/arranged?
I wanted to find one that would change the location of gears how they would be in the real cars.

[vapid sundial]

where did pessima lifback mod go

[barren magnet]

goodbye structural rigidity in the rear end

[keen jolt]

and this hood?

[pallid lynx]

this would make for a sick beam mod

[median flame]

it would, but i think it may mess with the physics since its so chunky and complicated

[glad ferry]

for real

[dark scroll]

so how do i work on models

[kindred crypt]

does anyone know how to add a towhitch to a car mod that doesnt have it?

[dark scroll]

so what app do i use

[pallid lynx]

prob not tbh

there are mods that have are complex

[dark scroll]

i think you can just add one in the garage then link the towhitch on the bumper of the other car

[mighty spruce]

working with 3d models and jbeam, blender is what you should use

paint.net is for textures (supports dds and png and is free)

[barren magnet]

for manually editing jbeam notepad++ with synatx highlight or visual studio code

[mighty spruce]

first you'd have to make a few folders in your mods/unpacked/ (mods/unpacked/modname/vehicles/moddedvehiclename/)

[dark scroll]

thx

[dark scroll]

thx

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @mighty spruce (current: #738 - 1)

[mighty spruce]

you'd need to copy-paste a towhitch from some vanilla car and paste the jbeam in there

also you'd need to copy-paste the model of the towhitch and put it in a place where it makes sense

*this is all if towhitches are per-vehicle and not in a sort of common thing

[dim palm]

How would I change that?

[frank cove]

Make the spring values larger is my guess. But check documentation first

[dim palm]

Where even is spring?

[frank cove]

Beamspring line 20

[dim palm]

That changed nothing

[frank cove]

Did you check documentation? Otherwise all I did was point you in the right direction and give you a good guess lol

So I’m not too surprised it didn’t work

[dim palm]

Yes and I can't find anything about it

[frank cove]

Or it might’ve and it’s just not noticeable

[dim palm]

Wtf is happening like even with a roll cage it shakes so hard it feels like it's going to rip a hole in reality

[frank cove]

Might not be an engine thing might be due to something else broken

Slow-mo and ctrl B should be the best way to see what’s bending weirdly

[dim palm]

I think it is the engine because it didn't do it until I added boost by gear

[frank cove]

Is it making 40 billion horsepower or something by chance?

[dim palm]

And you can only see the shaking if you're inside the car

[dim palm]

Only like 50psi boost when i have it set for 9

Like it supposed to be doing only 9 but it says it's 50

[frank cove]

So like 2,500hp probably?

That might be your problem

[dim palm]

9psi boost is over 2000hp?

That's literally less then the semi

Ok is my game broken or something?

[frank cove]

That is 76psi my G

[dim palm]

Yeah that's why I'm asking if my game is broken because you can tell I have it set for 9

[frank cove]

Seems the boost by gear might not be working as intended

[dim palm]

Idk how to even fix it

Even when I lower the numbers it still hits 70

[frank cove]

Probably something wrong with however you coded in the boost by gear so I’d start there

But certainly having ~4,000hp will cause some engine shake

[dim palm]

I honestly don't know what would be wrong because it's pretty much just rk's boost by gear but a but different

Mainly because I used his to see how they would even be made because nobody really has made it and it's not base game

Actually if I just lower it's max in the jbeam it might fix it

Okay something makes no sense I made it so it's max amount of PSI is nine and made it so it's lowest is also 9 and somehow it's still putting out over 70 PSI

[frank cove]

What happens if the maximum is less than 9? Try 5 maybe?

[dim palm]

It just keeps putting out over 70psi

[frank cove]

Even at 5? You’ve tested it?

[dim palm]

Yep

Even at 0 it puts 70

[frank cove]

Wack. Something must be overwriting itself then

[dim palm]

I don't even see anything overwriting

Even In the slider I have it so all of the other gears are at zero other than eighth gear and 9th gear but for some reason it's still putting out like 30 PSI on the gears that are supposed to have zero

[fathom thorn]

Beamng.com is the only safe place to get mods

You don’t have to delete your question

[dim palm]

I literally just don't understand

Wait is it not overriding the turbo intake?

I have it being run from the intake turbo

Does that mean that both are running?

[late fulcrum]

happy little trees

[vague meteor]

Any impressions of FastLane’s mods? Are they tolerable? (He makes real life car mods, seem okayish) Saw sim adventures’s video on his ML63 and am intrigued

[drowsy leaf]

paid?

[vague meteor]

No no they are free (as far as I see)

With optional donations

[drowsy leaf]

then i guess if its free go ahead an try them

no loss

[vague meteor]

Yeah you’re right, always cautious with rl car mods, have the habit of always asking for impressions before trying them

[cyan drum]

garbage meshslaps imo
they aren't mods I'd use at all but ymmv

[vague meteor]

Right

Thanks for the info, just what I needed

[fathom thorn]

I’ve just thought they were mid

They could be much better with effort, but they are usable

[cyan drum]

both the swift and the megane had a lot of issues and really unoptimized

[late cargo]

Does anyone know if a map that is basically just a really long drag strip exists? Kinda like the Autobahn map, but sticky asphalt

Edit: rephrased

[dim palm]

I'm so confused my custom screen (thing on the right) works in game and in career mode but is a missing texture if you place it on the off road scintilla

[dim palm]

Actually is super strange my screen literally only works with this car and my car in career any other config doesn't work

[late badger]

who knows a good race track with ai like rlly accurate ai

[late fulcrum]

no ai but its a real life racetrack

[split vale]

What does your mod folder look like, Sounds like your missing the Materials file or you are replacing things inside the content folder?

[dim palm]

It's just grabbing the uv of the base dashboard and loading it while it loads the race dash

[polar cedar]

jbeaming charger panels

[kindred moth]

what if it was 1 year older though

[abstract mango]

Bros trippin

[dim palm]

Is the main dashboard screen coded differently fir certain scintilla configs?

For some reason the side screen only loads on certain configs

When all it is doing is loading the basic dashboard uv while using the race dash

[cerulean osprey]

i have beconzez permision for make parts pack

[split vale]

Yes, Everything is specific, And since its loading the UV of the base dashboard it very well seems you didn't do the jbeaming right aswell as the materials file, Make sure you use only the materials for that specific dashboard you are doing.

[dim palm]

I don't even know AgentY made the whole jbeam and stuff for it

[split vale]

Ah that makes more sense lol, No worries 🤝

[quick crow]

@dim palm for the too much psi, did you change how much psi the turbo makes for a certain Turbo RPM and the efficiency and stuff? maybe that could be the issue

what are the turbos you are using and is this the right way to do the wastegate pressure for each gear?

@dim palm i also believe this mod has boost by gear for each vehicle:
https://www.beamng.com/resources/anti-lag-system-turbo.5791/update?update=13970

i guess that should be right

im not really understanding rn, did you make your own turbo or are you using the stock one?

maybe make your own intake that just adds your turbo

wair

try making this into a scintilla_mod slot, you might be able to make this work for all turbos. do you know how?

mine lol?

i mean you can just do that for now and if it works/fixes the issue it might be easier to fix the issue

[fathom latch]

I love the idea, but I feel like the roof should be taller to accomodate someone standing/walking around in there

[quick crow]

can you maybe send me what you did so i might be able to help better later?

[hasty talon]

does anyone know where i can find a decent nascar mod with all (or most) generations of nascar, including decals?

[quick crow]

@dim palm idk but you didnt send me anything with that boost by gear in the code

this one isnt in there

that is what i mean

the actual boost by gear code lol

that folder is empty

but just that one

idk man but i didnt delete it

oh okay

im just still missing the boost by gear controller file you showed earlier

oh oops, was confused by the same name as the other one in scintilla. Anyway, here is a simple version i made using the mod slot: This works.

no sry, not really

are the textures mapped properly in the .dae file?

have you tried clearing the cache?

also, the problem seems to be your turbo you made yourself, because it gets too much boost for the wastegate to keep up

try taking a turbo from the vanilla scintilla and modifying that one with just the BBG

no, there are way more things that correspond

these need changing as well

i will quickly make one and tell you how you can modify them yourself

do you know where you can find the jbeam of the vanilla vehicles?

bc that is usually a better place to start

yes, and enginedef etc

[quick crow]

either with something like that

or just copy the original one and add the slot for bbg

[crimson viper]

I dont understand uv lol

[quick crow]

the commented lines should be enough changes to add BBG to any part you copy from vanilla and change. only thing you need to have in /common is the controller for the boost by gear

here you go

boost by gear has the controller file

the thing working with one vanilla turbo modified

unzip the file and drag the vehicles folder into mods/unpacked/bbg

the best way to learn this stuff is to just play around with it and see what happens and studying what someone did etc

they get saved in the cache and sometimes make the mods not work properly so clearing that sometimes fixes texture issues

oh i just realised, if you leave the stock wastegate variables in the wastegate pressures combine

[wind dew]

Does anyone know of any good IC RE/ IC CE mods?

[quick crow]

what is IC RE / IC CE?

[wind dew]

Its a bus

[quick crow]

maybe

[quick crow]

oh okay

get rid of your turbo stuff, study what i did and learnt to make these yourself

one sec

it was pretty much just copied and replaced with your name, yes

but i learned pretty much everything like that, just copying stuff and changing stuff to see what happens

here, this is fixed. i commented all things i changed compared to vanilla in the vehicles folder

that is pretty much the reason

yes that is always shown for zip files

weird

you are free to check for viruses using anything lol, might always be a good idea

maybe discord checks themselves but takes a while so it shows at first or whatever

it showed up the first time i downloaded yours for me aswell

i hope you are not doing that stuff on your phone lol

like modding and stuff

oh okay

and just put the unpacked stuff here like that:

the folder inside unpacked can be named anything you want

is it working?

okay

[quick crow]

Hmm, sorry, im not really able to help here, not the best with textures and stuff

[frank cove]

Is the map legit 25sq miles? if so thats awesome

[sage viper]

https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/detroit-grand-prix-2023.67061/

Could anyone convert this map from assetto corsa to beamng?

[frank cove]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCh6l6gqdWwx1-HLm1JN1V7EMGPu8lwxL

Pretty easy to do if you have the time to do it yourself

[quick crow]

change stuff or make a whole car from the ground up?

[quick crow]

Keep the lines the way i made it first and understand how it works. It seems you added your own slots now and changed something on line 54 where the issue seems to be

Yes, but you dont need all that

You just need the one slot i added already

If the folder structure is correct it works perfectly fine

Just the stuff in the zip with the two folders inside vehicles

You put them in /vehicles/scintilla/custom_parts/jbeam

You need the other file in /vehicles/common for it to work

That is all you need actually

Except you want the special parts etc, but if you study what i changed and commented then you can learn to port it to any turbo

Well its just a changed vanilla part which already has those

[frank cove]

Pretty sure the cooling is done through the Intercoolers jbeam so that shouldn’t be a concern

[quick crow]

Yes

because he made it more customizable

[frank cove]

You can technically run some turbos without intercoolers too. But they overheat very quickly

So he might’ve added cooling to turbos to avoid dealing with intercoolers

[quick crow]

why would the devs make it differently, pretty sure they wouldnt make it very crappy just because

did you try just adding what i did to test it?

in the same folder structure?

because then it works

[frank cove]

Folder structure is critical

No no, like the names of your folders needs to be correct or you need to change the pathing in the jbeam

[quick crow]

the issue with just copying modded stuff and changing that is often that it is harder to understand how it works than the vanilla stuff. That is why i made you the part that works with the vanilla Stage 3 Turbo

what you need to do: do this exactly like this or it WILL NOT WORK:
in your mods folder:

• unpacked/BoostByGear/vehicles/common: put the Boost by gear controller here
• unpacked/BoostByGear/vehicles/scintilla: put the modified turbo here

DONT MODIFY THE FILES FOR NOW - fresh download

The controller is inside the zip i made with the name you made for it
the turbo you will easily find as well

if the controller isnt in vehicles/common the turbo wont find it, that is why it doesnt load it

its just locked by the /vehicles/common and the /vehicles/scintilla part

BeamNG figures out where to put the modded parts by that, that is why you cant just expect beamng to know there it belongs

[frank cove]

You could in theory change the /boostbygear/ part I believe yes?

[quick crow]

yes, that one doesnt matter

[frank cove]

But get it working first before fiddling with names

[quick crow]

maybe scrap that for now and get this one working first

judging by your outputs however your stuff is in different places and with adjusted stuff, that is why not everything gets found etc

send a screenshot with the bar showing the path at the top

like this for example

see, you have it in custom_parts/jbeam rn

put them at just /scintilla/filename.jbeam

and can you send a screen of the common folder in this mod

[frank cove]

It’s in scintilla/custom_parts/jbeam/

Not scintilla/

[quick crow]

that one is more important

[quick crow]

exactly

its just not necessary

you can add more yes

but in the common folder this might have problems

do the same with /common

[frank cove]

Because different people have different methods so when someone makes something for you, put it in EXACTLY how they say to

Yeah again put it in just standard common I’m pretty sure.

Or I think you should be able to change the folder structure in the Jbeam to read correctly

[quick crow]

Just put it the way i told you and keep the files the way i sent or i wont help you anymore

[frank cove]

The aesthetics of your folder don’t matter I promise

It’ll be ok

If you want to know something the best way is to learn yourself

Don’t demand other people help you when they have already made an entire portion of the mod for you. It leaves a bad taste in peoples mouths

You should be able to add a line that changes it from default but I’m not 100% sure

As far as I can tell he made the jbeam in it’s entirety because yours wasn’t working.

Which is VERY nice of him

And very selfless

[quick crow]

I pretty much made the thing myself again

[frank cove]

“Mine was working but it wasn’t”

Be serious

Just because a bike has wheels doesn’t mean it works as a car

Don’t take credit for work you didn’t do

Fine. It doesn’t work correctly

[quick crow]

Because it wasnt easily visible for me how that custom turbo worked and i understood you that you just wanted boost by gear working

My guess is that you changed slot names or part names or something and that is why it doesnt load

Yes folders inside common ans scintilla should also read the names but i cannot guarantee

Send the error

Ctrl + L

Or reload the game

Bc the modded parts are not equipped anymore the way it looks

Its just because of the reload, your mods probably got automatically disabled

Or something, idk

Is it working now?

The jbeam filename or the part name at the top of the jbeam?

yeah that doesnt matter

this matters, the top most line, and the slot type. if you change those the stuff might break if not named properly

try removing your parts temporarily?

and just loading mine for now

then try reloading the vehicle

sometimes it glitches out

reloading like going to vehicle selector again and picking a new one to replace

not just ctrl + r

ctrl + l just reloads the LUA but not the vehicle, this is needed to reload what mods are loaded

yes

it has one

you dont need an extra wastegate slot, you already have an adjustable one

for me it does

does anyone know of any good bus mods like the IC RE, IC CE, Thomas c2 or others?

[fathom thorn]

Did the guy you were talking to delete all his messages or was he banned

[short moth]

Hi! just joined was wondering why I can't get mods such as: Porsche, Bell 407, Lamborghini, Range Rover, Volkswagan, and Audi I did watch a video on how to install them and only got a Bugatti Chiron. Anyone know why?

[hearty obsidian]

because you probably only installed the bugatti mod

[short moth]

No, I tried installing the other ones

[hearty obsidian]

did you put them in the mod folder

[short moth]

Yes

[hearty obsidian]

did you just drop them in in the folder or put them in like the vehicle folder

[short moth]

Dropped

[hearty obsidian]

then idk

[short moth]

Just was able to get the Bell 407 had to tinker around a bit

[hearty obsidian]

where did you get the mods

[quick crow]

He got banned and then came crying to me

[drowsy leaf]

Yes

Lmao

[quick crow]

Sure

[fathom thorn]

That doesn’t surprise me

[drowsy leaf]

yeah i was expecting it lol

[dense jungle]

where did you get them from first

[short moth]

The BeamNG website

[short moth]

Also the BeamNG website

[hearty obsidian]

idk , must be an issue downloading them or something

[short moth]

Yeah, tried downloading a Audi RS6 couldn't even load the page.

[dense jungle]

that sounds more like your internet than the forums

[frank cove]

I don’t think it’s 25sq miles. The base game Italy map is “only” 6sq miles

[short moth]

1. I have a big beefy computer and 2. my computer is right next to a router

[dense jungle]

your internet, not your computer

[frank cove]

25sq miles would only be slightly smaller than the GTA5 map

[dense jungle]

having it right next to your computer is irrelevant if the speed is still bottlenecked

[short moth]

Still i have good internet

It just won't let me download it

[dense jungle]

send a link to the one in particular you are trying to download

[short moth]

I'll try, trying to play BeamNG at the moment

Right now in a middle of a huge storm power might go out some might not be on>

Hack did send request if power goes out so we can talk later

[drowsy leaf]

those mods are not finished and cant not be downloaded

WIP = Work in progress = not finished

[short moth]

Where it say that

[dense jungle]

i don't really accept friend requests anyway

[drowsy leaf]

it says in big text on the title [WIP]
and on the huracan it says
[On hold]

[short moth]

What does On Hold mean

[drowsy leaf]

on hold means the mod is temporarly paused development

meaning its not finished and its not being finished

[short moth]

Thanks for the notice

need to go

[lyric nexus]

Anyone have a legit link to the ford explorer mod?

[short moth]

I wish

[quick plover]

Someone should make a sprint car mod like these so that it’s more realistic

[humble kindle]

I agree with that

[drowsy leaf]

Make it yourself

[quick plover]

I can’t make mods

So shut up

[frank cove]

Are you willing to pay someone to make one for you?

Otherwise I’d recommend being less demanding and more phrase it as “a sprint car in BeamNg would be cool” rather than demanding someone make one

Just trying to be helpful 🙂

[quick plover]

I’m just saying that someone should Finnish the journey of making a sprint car mod becuase everyone just bails out and doesn’t Finnish/release the mod

[frank cove]

I agree a sprint car mod would be cool

But that doesn’t mean anyone should or has to do it

But I agree it would be cool

There’s a pretty good dirt late model mod iirc

So that’s something

[quick crow]

so make it yourself. LEARN HOW TO DO IT if you crave it this much

[silent dune]

Another project im most likely going to not fully finish -_-

[drowsy leaf]

womp womp then if youre not willing do it yourself dont tell anyone to do it themselves

[queen wharf]

Needs more aero

[tawny lynx]

ok Kei truck number 3 is out... anymore japanese kei car incoming?

[oblique rain]

The Sambatsu is coming, maybe other will come later

[fathom latch]

There was the Kanu as well iirc

[barren magnet]

kanu and elder’s lore friendly hijet

[quick crow]

why the hell is the dseries different with its slot being a slots2?
now i get why my lua script never generated for the dseries

[cosmic mulch]

the T-series also uses slots2, seems like it's something wip that will eventually have a sort of blacklist functionality

[quick crow]

oh i didnt see it with the Tseries, guess that one is has those newly added with its remaster. i would also guess by how its structured, that this may allow picking multiple types that are allowed, so maybe support for just using engines, parts and such in different vehicles more easily 👀

its a secret now but ill say its a hirochi and a hatch

[signal furnace]

so how to edit vehiclees in beamng whats it called and how to install it

[dense tangle]

in what way

[signal furnace]

uhh like ya know how people modify their cars insanely and they look cool and all

[dense tangle]

oh you use the parts selector

[signal furnace]

in vehicle config?

[dense tangle]

yes

Has anybody made “Boost by RPM” or “Boost by Speed”?

[crimson skiff]

Ive seen boost by gear

[fathom latch]

boost by RPM? Yeah its called a supercharger lol

[upper violet]

i have question does anyone have link to the mod that adds openable doors to FPS trapez?

[fossil mason]

reminds me of the euro truck sim 2 ui, looks really nice though (apart from the small bug)

[bleak tusk]

Yeah that's what it is

I'm recoding it for newer versions atm, old version is broken

[willow turret]

tryed out the good tacho mod

[green pier]

how close is new bx to actual s13, interms of kits

do they take much work

[barren magnet]

body shape isnt crazy close but not impossible to adapt

[abstract mango]

bx is much bigger than s13 in size

[barren magnet]

its not a crazy difference, brickolo compared it to his s15 a while back

im curious to see it against sam/ax53/brickolo’s s13 model

[green pier]

size is fine

just more so thinking about panels lining up

[cold pewter]

the 200bx’s version of the onevia would probably have more resemblance to an actual onevia but the bx’s s13 front does look quite different

so id say the onevia would probably be more accurate than the regular bx

[barren magnet]

i love the diana front but the popup front just feels too elongated

doing onevia with the 200bx it looks way too long in the front

[cold pewter]

the bx really is a funny looking car

[latent ivy]

thats really cool, i presume its based off the ETS/ATS navigator

[sullen onyx]

if anyone can give me directions to get the remastered stratos acrobatic plane please lmk

[steep summit]

I know this is prob a dumb question but i just downloaded beamng yesterday and i have no clue how to really find mods so, anyone know how i can get these cars? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD3QBQCbKTY

The dude didnt link them in the bio

or wait do you gotta pay for them?

[quick crow]

there are links in the description to patreon pages, so it looks like it yes

[steep summit]

damn well you know any good free mods for offroading cars by any chance?

[quick crow]

there are a lot but i cant remember rn. There are also some Ultra4 things, so maybe try searching on google with:
site:beamng.com ultra 4

this just ensures that all results are from the official website

otherwise try browsing the repo and maybe for a start sort by most downloaded for the most popular mods

[dense jungle]

the repository and the forums, the repository is the built in link for mods

[steep summit]

repository didnt have much of anything tbh

that i was looking for

or i was searching for the wrong things

[dense jungle]

try the forums then

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/dw-ultrabump-ultra4-4400-rock-racer.30382/

also bdr isac has some free ones somewhere

Don’t forget the OG

[steep summit]

lol i downloaded this one and everytime i try to drive the gearbox breaks or something and it doesnt move

[fathom thorn]

You need to start the car in gear iirc

Shifting into gear breaks it
I think it’s just how sequential autos work

[bright rampart]

does anyone knows a good

aircrafts mod

[dense tangle]

google maps accuracy right there, thats ready for relez tbh

[fathom thorn]

More like Apple maps

[bleak tusk]

[dense tangle]

anyway cool mod (fellow furry too so even cooler )

[bleak tusk]

Ty, hopefully when the GPS stops confusing the living hell out of me I'll release an update

[dense tangle]

idk smac it and it might work

maybe it has some offset somewhere idk

Gavril Dynamo and the Hirochi Rush I have heard good things about

My buddy has the Dynamo and loves it. I haven't had the chance to get any paid mods yet tho

[barren magnet]

segra, signia, rush, dynamo, eventually ‘96 barstow, eventually avior and sapphire gt7

Nah I’m not interested in piracy 🏴‍☠️

[fathom thorn]

Lmao

[barren magnet]

breh

[quick summit]

also, for the carbonworks f4 is there a way to fix the brake lights?

they arent working for me

[frank cove]

F4 cars don’t have brake lights, just rain lights (I’m like 90% at least)

[cyan drum]

said lights are toggled by using the hazards button

[brazen cypress]

Is there a mod that i can control each hydraulic wheel individually

[lunar widget]

ford transit pack 1 free

[quick summit]

ah

yeah me and my mates kept ramming into the back of eachother so was just wondering

[limber hinge]

does anyone know where i can find the clutch jbeam for soliad lansdale, I wanna edit the maxtemp but cant seem to find it anywhere.

[cosmic mulch]

If it doesn't have a clutch section in the transaxle jbeam, it's probably using the default values and I just checked, it is

[limber hinge]

where are the default values located?

[cosmic mulch]

"clutch": {
        //"clutchStiffness":0.5,
        "clutchFreePlay":0.2,
        "lockSpringCoef":0.8,
        "lockDampRatio":0.05,
        "warningTemp":9800,
        "maxSafeClutchTemp":9900,
        "maxClutchTemp":10000
    },

Here's a clutch code block with a few lines I made to make an indestructable clutch, you can put it right below the gearbox block

[limber hinge]

oh alr

[cosmic mulch]

you're better off overwriting the default values like this than changing them entirely

those are buried in the game lua files

most things if not defined just have a basic fallback value

you can see clutch lines used in the flywheels, however they only edit the mass and inertia of it

[limber hinge]

under the gearbox block in the lansdale_transaxle.jbeam?

never really edited files

except tires

[cosmic mulch]

yes, after it closes with the end bracket, make a new line and put the clutch one there

not inside of it but after it

[limber hinge]

okay i got it working now, thank you so much.

[drowsy leaf]

no

[orchid ferry]

how do i create a mod

[barren magnet]

what kind of mod

[barren magnet]

do you have any experience modeling

[quick crow]

Modding is very complicated, if you dont have any experience, first try learning the basics doing something like a bodykit or something, where you learn modeling, jbeam and everything. Making a whole vehicle is already way more complicated.
For starting with modding, you may look at the Wiki:
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/

there is already a pretty good one for this generation of golf, even lore friendly:
https://www.beamng.com/resources/aw-astro.19186/

[abstract mango]

ugh the astro is

quite something

also allegedly based on a MK2

he's doing a MK1 Astro rn but it's been halted for a while

[frank cove]

Astro is pretty good but shows it’s age a bit. Still better than 90% of real car mods though

[nimble valley]

chatgpt 4o can edit and even create audio

[silk ridge]

yo I acnt find the Bell 407 mod on the repo, and thats where I was told it would be. Can someone DM me the link?

[fathom thorn]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/revamped-bell-407-improved-controls.98195/

[silk ridge]

thx

also, can anyone tell me why this is happening? I bought the mod legitamately btw.

[barren magnet]

you specifying that seems more sus than just not mentioning

also change the file extension to mp4 instead of mkv and reupload so it embeds

[fathom thorn]

Send a non mkv file so we can see

[silk ridge]

uhhhh how

[silk ridge]

i specified bc i always see people immediately jumping to "You pirated it didn't you"

[silk ridge]

how do i change the extension

[barren magnet]

rename the file and replace mkv with mp4 and when it says it could make it unstable just click ok

[silk ridge]

im on windows 10 and it wont show me the file type

[barren magnet]

you have to enable show file extensions

should be in the explorer settings up at the top

[silk ridge]

ah

thx

[barren magnet]

that thing’s all sorts of fucked up hm

[silk ridge]

yeah

no matter which model i pick it does the same thing, but sometimes it happens to have textures

[barren magnet]

did you clear cache after installing it? and did you install it to your mods folder?

it could also be using outdated textures

i have no clue whose mod that is

[silk ridge]

tbh idk where my mods folder is so install everything to the vehicles folder

its Frix's Huracan

yes, I did clear caches as well

[barren magnet]

yeah dont do that

when you launch the game, click manage user folder, browse user folder

and then you need to put your mods in there

[silk ridge]

ohhhhhh

[barren magnet]

in the mods folder

[silk ridge]

ok

so into the "repo" folder?

thats inside of the mods folder

[barren magnet]

no

[barren magnet]

they just get dropped in the mods folder

repo folder is where your repo mods download to

and it needs to stay zipped

if you have an unpacked mod, you will have to make an “unpacked” folder

[cyan drum]

jesus christ you have a lot of garbage
what game version are you on

[silk ridge]

latest

[cyan drum]

no clue

you might have 2 conflicting mods or something

[silk ridge]

maybe

[cyan drum]

it literally tells you not to do so

[silk ridge]

stfu i had no idea where to put them

[dense jungle]

in your documents folder, theres a "BeamNG.Drive" folder, now depending on the version you installed, there may be a shortcut called "Moved here", follow that as many times if at all and you will reach a "Mods" folder

[cyan drum]

Ok

[silk ridge]

we at this now. the order of the cars spawned is Elva, LBWK, Steratto, STO, 610 (base model), Performante, and Evo2

[amber iris]

the urbanmaid mod experience

[fathom thorn]

POV: you didn’t download the core mod

[amber iris]

(i did its just the mod acting up)

[ocean mauve]

not downloading core mod and/or waiting for texture import experience

[ocean mauve]

the green text textures say 'importing texture', just wait a moment and try to ctrl+r to load all the textures

[amber iris]

🙏

[amber iris]

yeah lemme try that

that was already installed by the way

[olive vector]

idk if this is the right channel

uh

does anyone have those freighliner or vovlo semi trucks

[cyan drum]

they don't exist

closest you have is segra ultimat

[quick summit]

anyone got a good map for beammp? like alot of stuff to do with friends etc

hello guys, i would need some help with transforming a config i made into a downloadable mod, can someone help me with?

the thing is i use some mods on my config

[latent ivy]

is there like a free modeling site where i can make models for cars? or is blender free im sort of new to this stuff

[mossy frigate]

Blender is free

You can get it from steam or the website

[latent ivy]

ohh thx

[vale latch]

hi
ok so i've a question
i want to improve a dead mod
but within every problems it does have
the exhaust is under the map and not in the right side
how can i move it?

[mossy frigate]

Import the model to blender and check if the transforms are applied correctly for the exhaust.
If they are, check if the exhaust mesh is moved in the jbeam.

[vale latch]

i did put the model in blender and in blender everything were at the right place except the wheel

[mossy frigate]

The wheels are supposed to be at the origin point.
To apply transforms for the exhaust select the exhaust and press ctrl+a and then click all transforms.

Then check in the exhaust jbeam

If the flexibody is moved.

[vale latch]

ok

flexbodies": [
["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
["panda_exhaust", ["panda_exhaust"]],
["panda_exhausttip", ["panda_exhaust"]],
it looks like that

[vale latch]

ok so

i deleted this "["panda_exhausttip", ["panda_exhaust"]],"

and it worked

[vale latch]

ok so i have a new question
is it possible to download texture?
cause the windshield when destroyed is covered with "no texture"

[quick crow]

open the directory where you save your mods

• create a new folder in /mods/unpacked/, name that folder anything you want.
• create folders: vehicles/"vehiclename" in that created folder
• press "go to user configurations folder" button
• add "configname".pc file from /vehicles/"vehiclename" into your newly created folders
• add a picture: "configname".jpg and an info_"configname".json
• zip the vehicles folder so when you open the zip file there is just the vehicles folder in there straight away and not anotherone to open before that
  "vehiclename" obviously gets replaced by the actual vehicles name and "configname" with the configs one

There are some more steps, maybe try opening a vanilla vehicle and see how its made there.
Also, this may help some:

Hello

hey

[near dragon]

Hi

[kind quartz]

i managed to remove the halo from the f4 mod but a part of the pylon is still there (photo 3)

how can i remove it

[rough iris]

So my mod site doesn't let me add more than 10 images anymore, while it did before. Did anyone else notice that? While I get that you maybe shouldn't spam images, 10 is a little drastic imo

[drowsy leaf]

did you do 10+ images at once?=

[rough iris]

also happens when adding single images

[dry mason]

Hey can someone help me my neighbor has a car that isn’t a mod and I don’t know how to make mods all I need is a customizable with at least 32 psi of boost dodge caliber and it has a srt4 badge on the back. I would like him to drive it in my sim setup please?

[drowsy leaf]

no one is gonna make a mod for you because you asked nicely.

[ocean mauve]

i refuse to believe theres a dodge caliber thats running 32 psi

[dry mason]

Moded

[ocean mauve]

yea still

[dry mason]

Like engine swap modded

[barren magnet]

SRT4's engines were pretty stout

[quick crow]

I guess try making the 2nd gen pessima into that using mods or use Automation to make it yourself. There are a lot of mods in this game that enable to get pretty close.
Making a whole car mod just because you asked nicely is really not worth it for anyone, it takes a lot of effort and time to do that. That would be like working for you for free just because you asked nicely and i guess you wouldnt be willing to do that either for someone.

[kind quartz]

How can i mod custom sounds in the engine?

[faint imp]

Hey, if only it was that easy 😄
If there's a modder who's interested in that car, then they make it. You'll just have to wait and see I suppose

[limpid sedge]

does anybody know what map this is?

[livid steppe]

Texas USA

[limpid sedge]

ru sure cuz texas usa doenst have trees i alr have the map installed

[latent ivy]

is automation free? and if it is not how much does it cost?

[wild grotto]

24€

[latent ivy]

god daym😨 i guess i wont be modding then... (blender and other stuff too hard)

[fathom latch]

how do you think everyone who is good at it, got good?

[vague meteor]

Practice practice practice and more practice

and to accept that the first attempts will not be good in hindsight

[fathom latch]

^

[drowsy leaf]

by doing sourcery and becoming instantly good of course

[latent ivy]

i have ad-hd it will not be easy to code (or i will just use chatgpt🤓)

[fathom latch]

use that hyperfocus to your advantage

[frank cove]

So do I, and most of the modding community

[latent ivy]

oh use chatgpt?

[frank cove]

If you see it as a limitation that’s all it will be

[frank cove]

No no no, have ADHD

[latent ivy]

ohhhh. im also lazy so one mod would prob take like a year or two

[frank cove]

Yeah that’s usually how long it takes for a very complex/high quality mod assuming someone works/goes to school full time as well

[latent ivy]

mine would prob be a low quality piece of junk that has texture problems💀

[fathom latch]

it will be if you harbour that mentality

stop putting yourself down and try

start small

figure out what your niche is

whether you're better at JBeam or Lua coding, or modelling, or textures/skins

Make a livery, model a new part, try a simple lua script

[latent ivy]

ill just use automation. seems more simple and easier to use. prob a great start for modding to start with automation

[fathom latch]

or just give up and don't listen to advice

thats cool too

[latent ivy]

very cool😎

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help? I’m trying to move where my mods are installed from my C drive to my D drive as my user memory is full. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks

[near oyster]

1. Create a folder in D: (ex. D:\beam_mods\)
2. Move all of the zip files from C:\Users\username\Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods\ and mods\repo to your new D: folder
3. Right click in the BeamNG.drive\mods folder, and select “Create Shortcut”
4. Enter the path of your D: folder
5. Check the game; I’m not entirely sure this works

[digital blade]

I’ll give this a try, thank you mate!

[near oyster]

No problem, like I said, I wasn’t sure

That’s the full path, Documents\BeamNG.drive is a shortcut

Manage user folder

These maps?

[celest sundial]

do interiors really need like jbeam models other than seats? looking at vanilla ones it doesn't seem like they have them

[frank cove]

Thats Johnson Valley I am 90% sure just based on the thumbnail

(Johnson Valley is a default map)

[cyan drum]

yes, dashboards have jbeam for the steering wheel and other props

[celest sundial]

ah, alright thanks

[bronze crescent]

how do i get the 2 trucks to do that though

[frank cove]

Allot of time with AI scripting

I suggest you look up tutorials

[bronze crescent]

can you send a link to a YT vid please

[frank cove]

Thats sus as anything

What isn't working?

[bronze crescent]

how do i recreate that video step by step

[frank cove]

Follow a good tutorial. Those videos are not my thing so I'm not interested or experienced in making them sorry

[bronze crescent]

i cant find any tutorials on youtube

[frank cove]

Also that "what isn't working" was directed at a now deleted message of a Github scam link thingy

[frank cove]

Search up camera path editor

And script Ai

It will probably take about an hour to make a video like that FYI

[bronze crescent]

ill pay you $20

to make it

[frank cove]

I'm good thanks though

[bronze crescent]

give me your offer

[frank cove]

None. My morality is not purchasable

[open escarp]

how do i put mods onto beam if i only have the zip???

[frank cove]

Mods folder

[bronze crescent]

theres always a perfect number

[open escarp]

just throw it in the mods folder still zipped?

[frank cove]

My morals aren't for sale sorry

[bronze crescent]

$100?

[frank cove]

Yes

[frank cove]

No amount of money. I am not going to copy someone else's video to make low quality content that effects the image of a game that I love

[bronze crescent]

how is that video bad

[frank cove]

• that is an awful buisness decision from you, that money would NEVER be recouped no matter how many views it gets

So I smell a scam

[warm solstice]

How do people set up scenarios, I see people get like 2 trucks and then squeeze in between

[bronze crescent]

says who?

lol

[bronze crescent]

why do you want that scenario

[warm solstice]

I dont want that I just am wondering

[bronze crescent]

im tryan figure out the same thing right now

@frank cove refuses to help

[frank cove]

Tiktok gives about 0.04$ per 1,000 views. You would need about 5 million views minimum

[frank cove]

Time and talent

[bronze crescent]

where did you get 0.04 from?

[bronze crescent]

yea thats about right

but im not tryna do it for tiktok views

just wanna have fun, thought squeezing through trucks was cool

[frank cove]

In that case just set the AI traffic up to be only Semi trucks and you are set

That takes like 30s

Spawn a few semis and just hit "start traffic"

and off you go

[bronze crescent]

alright

[open escarp]

do i have to make a new folder called mods?

[frank cove]

I assumed you planned on making TikToks with it so I appologize for the hostility

[bronze crescent]

content library --> vehicles or levels then drop the zip into it

[frank cove]

Should already exist in your user folder. 0.32 -> mods

[frank cove]

noooooooooooo

[bronze crescent]

thats what i do

[frank cove]

Do not do that

[bronze crescent]

always works

is that bad or something it works tho

wait my bad

[warm solstice]

how do people get like jeskos

[bronze crescent]

browse local files for beamng then i insert into either vehicles or levels

[frank cove]

Yeah it can mess up a good number of things. There is a text file that literally says not to do that

[bronze crescent]

@frank cove

[frank cove]

Yeah don't do that lol

[bronze crescent]

all the youtbers say its fine

thats what all the turorials say to do

[frank cove]

I think the devs that put a text file saying not to do that probably know best

[bronze crescent]

but the youtubers said its fine

[frank cove]

Local is better than the main files at least

But they should really go into mods

Local -> 0.32 -> mods

[open escarp]

cant find that folder

[frank cove]

Have you ever downloaded a mod from the in game repository?

[open escarp]

ya

[frank cove]

Should be there then

Here is my directory

[open escarp]

doesnt exist

[frank cove]

You can create it then

With the EXACT name of "mods"

[open escarp]

just in the base game folder?

[frank cove]

This folder

[open escarp]

the 0.32 folder also doesnt exist

[frank cove]

Promise you it does

100% promise

[open escarp]

nope

[frank cove]

Its in your user folder

So username->appdata->local->BeamNGdrive-0.32

[open escarp]

nothing

[frank cove]

Yeah I'm not sure then. AppData should be there, possibly you have it hidden

Not really in the scope of BeamNG modding, so its probably best to search youtube or google for why a folder may not be appearing

[bronze crescent]

what map is this @frank cove

[frank cove]

Johsnon Valley

[bronze crescent]

did that guy just setup trucks as AI traffic thats it? because i just tried that only thing is idk how to reset the trucks to the original point so i can keep trying to squeeze

[frank cove]

You would have to use a script editor for that, but even then it takes a min or two to reset.

That system is only good for videos not really good for gameplay

That or the lazy mans way is to set both trucks at 100% throttle and tab away from them

[bronze crescent]

do you think that guy had a script editor? or did he just keep driving around finding the right time, cause from his videos it doesnt seem like the 2 trucks colliding were the same everytime

[frank cove]

And then ctrl R to reset all vehichles

[frank cove]

Not 100% sure. May have just done the lazy mans way

Which does work tbf

[open escarp]

found it

[frank cove]

Yipee

[bronze crescent]

ctrl r doesnt reset all vehicles

idek what it does it just pauses the gameplay for a split second

[frank cove]

Might be ShiftR

Its something like that

[open escarp]

it was one drive - documents - beamNG. drive - moved here - moved here

[frank cove]

ctrl R reloads the vehicle come to think of it

[open escarp]

like wtf how did it get there?

[bronze crescent]

it is shift r

[bronze crescent]

how do i connect my airpods to my windows pc

it doesnt pop up when im on bluetooth

[frank cove]

No idea

[bronze crescent]

how do i set the trucks to 100% throttle

[frank cove]

Go 100% throttle and tab away

[lilac sable]

Do you have an bluetooth card installed on your PC with the correct drivers?

[bronze crescent]

i dont think so, i bought a prebuilt PC y40 something like that

[quick summit]

I saw someone do it, but anyone know how i can remove the halo from the F4 mod?

[wheat chasm]

Guys anybody knows trailer mod that works for old trucks (before T series update)

My most of the truck mods broken I can't attach trailers 😭

[quasi gull]

Is it possible to skin the intercoolers in game? (I'm not a modder but I've grown quite interested in getting into modding.)

[quick crow]

well i know its possible to just retexture one, might also be possible to make one skinnable, but its not possible with a normal vehicle skin i believe

[quick summit]

anyone

[brazen nymph]

Can anyone tell me this map name? I cant find it

[frank cove]

Italy without trees for some reason

[delicate heath]

anyone knows a modder that makes the car you want and its actual high quality mods?

ofc im paying

[fathom thorn]

How much will you be willing to pay

[quick crow]

Dont expect that to be just like 20 buccaroos tho, just fiy

[dense tangle]

im not kidding but a commision for a high quality car would set you like 800-1500 dolla prolly

[uncut galleon]

Once this thing is done, its gonna be unplayable due to lag 😈

[delicate heath]

damn

well its not for me, its for a friend of mine

[dense tangle]

why

[delicate heath]

idk but i think a kenemation type of mod would already be good enough

cuz it looks good but its shitty

[dense tangle]

[uncut galleon]

I am a perfectionist that's why

[dense tangle]

so meshslap

[delicate heath]

yea

[uncut galleon]

its understandable why they are popular, because actual modding is hell 💀

[delicate heath]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x-F1VBI7VE&t=85s

[dense tangle]

its not

[delicate heath]

literally this mod

[dense tangle]

the red car?

[delicate heath]

yeah

[dense tangle]

similar to that is the hirochi mistral ig

[uncut galleon]

:stare:

[dense tangle]

its on the repo

[delicate heath]

nah thats a civic

[delicate heath]

now this is a fucking chevy econobox from brazil

[fathom thorn]

Lj said it would be 5k+ nzd for him to make a high quality commission car

[dense tangle]

whats that in dolla

[fathom thorn]

It’s actually a colt

[dense tangle]

its not its a colt

[frank cove]

That seems reasonable depending on car and if it has a wagon, coupe, convertible version etc.

For a car with no additional features and just the car I think 2k is probably reasonable

But again it varies SO MUCH depending on what car it is

[delicate heath]

he probably got that money but i dont think he would make any money in making videos of that lmao

[fathom thorn]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/call-out-to-accomplished-commission-modders.93108/#post-1611667

Basically 10-12k usd for a car as detailed as the signia or rush

[frank cove]

Yeah that checks out for a dev quality mod

Arguably above dev quality

Maybe a bit high, but that then gets into the realm of whether it will be exclusive or not.

Because if it isn't exclusive then the creator could charge less for commision and then sell the mod like a normal paid mod

There are literally billions of factors it feels like

[drowsy leaf]

5k per month

[drowsy leaf]

probably a private mod that someone made for free

or your googling skills suck and its a crappy low effort mod in some random russina website

[delicate heath]

not public

he specifically said that in the video

[drowsy leaf]

oh well then

[green stream]

As someone who's spent alot of time on just making kits and is just starting the first full car mod. I think it's understandable for the price. I wouldn't take any money to do something I wasn't already doing personally.

[barren magnet]

knowing the time it takes to do shit properly, that number is pretty reasonable

youre not just paying for the mod

you’re paying for the time and knowledge of the person making it

[keen moss]

does anyone know a mod with a car hauler/car carryer

[uneven gust]

.

[cobalt fern]

There's one on the repo I'm almost certain

[hazy topaz]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/grant-gooseneck-wedge-car-trailer.30917/

[cobalt fern]

Yeah that's the one

Is the autobello kit car considered the template car under the new system? I've got my body partially jbeamed and was looking to start adding suspension/engine and it seems like there's a good bit already filled out/it's already a complete project not a template

[barren magnet]

its just the easiest to adapt things to

and simplest in terms of suspension geometry

[final tide]

IS ANYONE UP TO TALK WHEN M-PLAY WITH ECHUTHERE

sry caps

[cobalt fern]

ah i see so doesn't get much simpler than that haha

i thought starting with some ps1 models to port would be easy because they're low polygon but you're really still doing the same amount of work because every car's gotta have core parts like suspension engine and all that

[night olive]

ima name the most random car on earth that should be made : opel astra v8 coupe

[quick crow]

I mean i guess it is the one used for the tutorial vehicle

[glacial gyro]

Is there any F1 mod currently being made by anyone ? So many mods have started then got abandoned in late stages

[cyan drum]

none that I know of

[glacial gyro]

dammit

Feels like i'm going to wait years for a good F1 mod 💀

[cyan drum]

or decades because at this point I doubt it's physically possible lol

that is, if we're talking modern F1s

[barren magnet]

without being horribly unstable or just handle like shit, modern f1 isnt really feasible in beam

[glacial gyro]

Might be true, but lucasbe's F2 is a great example of what it could be

[dense tangle]

unless you make it unrealistically heavy, or have aero that is like balls efficient

[cyan drum]

I doubt F2s are nowhere near close of F1's complexity

[glacial gyro]

Yeah true

[dense tangle]

F1 is like god of all vehicular engineering

the only thing holding beam back rn is the aerodynamics sim

[glacial gyro]

well the F1 2022 that had been worked on had great handling in the demo's, then was abandoned in the final stages

[cobalt fern]

well its slowly coming together, definitely seems a lot more rigid already than my previous first attempt with a gran turismo model

its really fun to play with the fmod sound blends too

[drowsy leaf]

from what ive discussed in another server with some jbeamers/devs, the phisics, specially aero arent advanced enough for a realistic one

and well f1 cars cost a lot to develop for a reason

[celest knot]

Yo guys i need help ive tried every modding methods like world of mods and stuff in youtube yet it wont work for me i dont know why

[drowsy leaf]

they are an absurdly complex system

[celest knot]

I need help like its not working at all

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/

it doesnt get as easier as this

[celest knot]

Lichi i tried everyrhing it wont work i swear

Even the put file in file and stuff nothing works

And for my friend it works but for some reason idk why it doesnt work for me

[drowsy leaf]

click on mod
click on subscribe
click on open beamngdrive

[cobalt fern]

beamng does some kind of simulated aerodynamics but its only local to the vehicle and not like actual air

[drowsy leaf]

that should work

[celest knot]

Lemme check

[drowsy leaf]

yeah

[cobalt fern]

which sounds dated like the gmod fin tool

[celest knot]

Il lsave it for tomorrow ,u can add me lichi so i can talk about it tomorrow weither it worked or not ?

[drowsy leaf]

we are talking about a 15+ year old game engine which is designed for vehicle simulation not racing, hence why aero hasnt really mattered that much

[drowsy leaf]

idc

[celest knot]

cuz actually fr

[cobalt fern]

absolutely, i dont really take issue with it just trying to explain why beamng doesnt do 'real' aerodynamics

[drowsy leaf]

thats also the reason why tire wear hasnt been on their crosshair

now that they are expanding to other types of vehicles they are i assume gonna improve aero and tire stuff

[cobalt fern]

that sounds like something you could simulate with math involving g forces and friction coefficients if you really had to have tire wear

[drowsy leaf]

tho runing a air simulation between multiple cars seems like a fucking pain in the ass

[cobalt fern]

shit, node beam simulation already is a pain in the ass
