mods-discussion

[drowsy leaf]

yeah theres mods for that but they arent perfect

[cobalt fern]

😂 i dont drive without crashing long enough for tire wear to ever matter if i had it

[drowsy leaf]

same for drafting but those arent actually simulation it just gives the effect of it

[cobalt fern]

the naming convention for the nodes in the kit car documentation is rather confusing but its starting to click, i also see why the names are so short - can't see what youre looking at unless you get close in the node viewer, but definitely worth it for the organization

[spice cairn]

More motorsport content and tire physics, yes.

[twin fulcrum]

Where is the Mark Iv tank mod.

[cobalt fern]

leaving off with this for tonight, ;-; none of the suspensions i tried to adapt were particular cooperative, may just end up modeling my own jbeam of the suspension

biggest issue i'd have would be as seen above, suspension would spawn like, upside down and generally act funky, still cool that i got engine mounts and such working

[opaque lily]

I have been wondering why it says not to put mods under content then vehicles i have not had any problems yet whats the main reason it says not to

[quick crow]

DONT!
It loads them differently, you cant disable them like with mods, they dont get checked the same way and there is literally no reason you should put it there

[opaque lily]

I put them there mostly because some updates deleate all my mods from the respiratory

[quick crow]

No it wont delete them

It may disable them but they dont get deleted

The disabling is a safety mechanism

[opaque lily]

I may have repaired the game

Thats what would cause it

[quick crow]

Shouldnt either, but there is a reason the literal developers of the game tell you not to

[quick crow]

You game may also just break when putting them there

[celest knot]

Guys does anyone know how to install mods from world of mods i tried it so many times even watched youtube it just wouldnt work for me but for some reason it works for me friend

[quick summit]

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

[quick crow]

Dont. Install them from the repository ingame or the official forums

[celest knot]

I tried from world of mods it wont work for me idk whyy

If u could send me a tutorial u doing it it would be helpful

[fervent crag]

Don't install mods from WoM or Modland, places tlike that. Those mods are low-quality, stolen, could contain viruses/malware and may also have illegal content hidden inside.

[celest knot]

Ye ik

But world of mods is good n safe

[fervent crag]

It isn't.
So do your research on your own, since we don't assist with mods, typically.

[fathom latch]

there is no "tutorial" for WoM mods, as they're all different. There's no standard and no checks, so the file could be anything

if its not a zip folder with just the content you need, don't bother installing it

[drowsy leaf]

no

[whole bay]

is there any mods for career mode?

[dense jungle]

Don’t use world of mods

[quick crow]

i think i have seen some, cant point out what exactly rn

World of mods is a website full of stolen hard work by others and could lead to a security risk to yourself with unwanted files in them 🙂

[glacial gyro]

Hey, people that are good at modding, how did you start ? I kind of would like to one day be able to make an open wheeler race vehicle

(I know it's one of the hardest to do as i've been told, and that's not what i want to start with)

[near dragon]

I love your optimism, Are you apart of modding for dummies? That is a great learning server for BeamNG!

[glacial gyro]

I'm not, i guess i can try to join it

[near dragon]

https://discord.com/invite/JFENSXNY

Here is a temp link!

[glacial gyro]

Thank you !

[near dragon]

They have great tutorials in there on how to get started! Even the wonderful Devs help out!

[glacial gyro]

I often hear bad things about jbeam, is "basic jbeam" where i should start or is that one of these low quality mods

[near dragon]

Start with making a Cube! In the MFD server, There is a wild range of carefully crafted tutorials to help you learn and step by steps!

[glacial gyro]

Alright

[quick crow]

just found out yesterday via my youtube analytics that one of my mods had been uploaded to modland 🙂 at least the dude wrote that its not their mod, that makes everything okay, amirite

[near dragon]

I'm sorry to hear that! I know what that's like

[strange kettle]

i got one of my mods stolen too and supposedly the stolen version has malware 😭

[quick crow]

oh man, even worse

[near dragon]

That's terrible!

[quick crow]

just saw mine even got uploaded by two different people

at least one of them linked the original page and the other one at least Wrote that im the author, but still.

[ornate heron]

how do i make a new part of windows?

[quick crow]

there is also a Glass mesh and textures that need to be added

[ornate heron]

yeah, i can make the mesh

[quick crow]

what do you mean by this then? How you make a hole?

[strange kettle]

Maybe how to add slots to the bed?

[ornate heron]

sorry, my english problems. never mind.

[strange kettle]

If you want to add extra parts for the windows, I suggest adding a "slots" section to your custom bed. You can see how vanilla vehicles do them on something like an engine with all of the parts.

[ornate heron]

i see.

[strange kettle]

There’s even a line in the section explaining the 3 elements of a slot: the internal name, the default part for the slot and the name of the slot in the part selector.
Then for the parts you want to be in the slot, add the correct internal slot name in the windows’ "slotType" section.
If you have any extra questions lmk

[drowsy leaf]

enjoying your time moderating this hellhole of a place? :p

[near dragon]

I'm only just beginning😆

[ember heron]

does anybody have a invite for moes discord sever?

[drowsy leaf]

[glacial gyro]

I had a mod stolen on another game on one of these websites, it got 4x more on the bad site than it did on steam workshop

[drowsy leaf]

since you can upload links to modalnd, create your own modland account and just link to the repo

i have one for that and for telling off mod scammers

[quick crow]

oh man. I do have to say tho that the Steam workshop is just not as easily navigateable as something like the beamng mod page imo, so i would kind of understand it having more downloads

[glacial gyro]

Yeah that's true

[quick crow]

yeah i guess i can. will probably do that

[drowsy leaf]

also dont you have to be 18 to publish anything there?

[glacial gyro]

Does anyone know why half of lucasbe's mods are outdated ?

[drowsy leaf]

because they arent updated to the newest version of beam

[glacial gyro]

Ah

[drowsy leaf]

these 2 are because he feels they arent quality enough iirc and hes not updating them
then these are jus VERY old mods and theres no real point on updating

[glacial gyro]

yeah understandable

[strange kettle]

he did NOT write Hirochi as Hiroshi 😭

[glacial gyro]

To be fair someone made a genesis F2 revamp and it is quite good quality

[strange kettle]

(yes i get mad at every spelling mistake ever)

[thick niche]

you my friend are a god for posting this, how do i give respekt points

[strange kettle]

@ them and say "thank you"

[quick crow]

Or answer their message and do that ^^

[dense tangle]

is this RoR

[abstract mango]

are you aware what discord server you are posting that on

[dense jungle]

turn the collisions off on the body or put the body in 1 collision group and the wheels in another

[cosmic mulch]

this specific channel is however only intended BeamNG modding

I mean, it's still a message you posted

#off-topic is free for any topic but if you want to talk about something in another game more in-depth, please use #other-games

[barren magnet]

but this channel is still meant for beamng modding

[cosmic mulch]

I'm not saying that it is, I'm saying it in general about anything concerning other games that aren't beam

[abstract mango]

that someone must've not known to properly read the room, and neither do you

you are the reason why people have to be overly specific when naming channels

just admit that you are wrong

don't act like a kid

in the dedicated off topic channels

[cobalt fern]

i almost feel like a ps1 port is more involved than expected, almostt like you need to do some internal modeling so the beams from each component can attach to the body correctly

[cobalt fern]

i ended up starting my jbeam over, doing it manually this time around 😮

though in the future a unibody under the mesh would probably be much easier to hook things up at

[celest knot]

Guys or anyone

I tried doing mods with world of mods i even watched yt and for some reason it doesnt work for me but works for my friend what should i do like the mod doesnt pop up at all in every way

[quick crow]

Pretty much everyone already told you not to download mods from world of mods here, idk what you are thinking the answer this time will be

[cobalt fern]

if the license plate doesnt have a hardcoded text as a watermark, broken english, and russian filenames, is it even worth downloading?

[cyan drum]

you should give up

[celest knot]

Nvm i actually solved it somehow 💀

[thick niche]

What do i need to change in the suspension to correct akerman angle?
right now both wheels steering in parallel and i need them not to be

[teal meteor]

anyone know what Neilogical uses in the puck drop videos to drop the pucks? I have the chaos mod but I can't choose a specific prop to drop. I'm just curious cause I think it'd be fun to do with friends

[quick crow]

what is that used for? like dropping a puck in ice hockey?

if yes you could just use a puck and pause it in the air i guess when spawning it in?

[teal meteor]

It’s used in the videos where they have the pucks sliding down a hill or smthn and they have to escape them

https://youtu.be/5vWPjeJTqgc?si=nneLbDyoUdztZ3GE

[quick crow]

oh okay. i think those are beammp plugins, probably just for beammp

i guess you could make a lua script that does that pretty easily

[dense tangle]

ES3D is better so ig if that releases soon well have some better sounds

[quick crow]

i guess if you have one yourself, you could make your own sound mod, would be awesome

[carmine flax]

Hi guys, so i know there is a big ask for firetruck mods for Beam, there is currently only one that is a little realistic

I am a 3d modeler but i have 0 knowledge of BeamNG modding, so if anyone wants to use my models to create some new firetruck mods, hmu

Example:

[quick crow]

almost looks like it could work with a T-Series i guess and now im asking myself why this isnt a vanilla thing lol

[carmine flax]

I can model a bunch of different firetrucks, it would be great to see them in game but unfortunately i have zero beamng modding skills

Otherwise i woulda done it a long time ago

[quick crow]

you can always learn that 🤷‍♂️

[quick crow]

i dont think this would be too hard when done simple

[carmine flax]

I'm not great with that stuff, specially scripts, i have no understanding, i've tried before

[quick crow]

Lua isn't necessary for modding beam, you can do a lot with just jbeam, models and textures

if you have experience with blender you can now do some of the jbeam even in there

[carmine flax]

Are there any good beginner tutorial videos on how to import the model in the first place?

[quick crow]

otherwise looking at vanilla jbeam and copying and modifying stuff is your best friend

[quick crow]

you need to export them as a collada (.dae) and write the mesh names in jbeam under flexbodies

for the parts you need

[carmine flax]

I'll see if i can find a tutorial on Jbeam

[quick crow]

idk right now, but i think you can figure out that part pretty quickly by just looking at how its already done

[quick crow]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/
Take a look at this aswell, answers some questions, even tho it may not always be the most understandable/complete

[carmine flax]

Thanks

[lyric cedar]

[carmine flax]

I give up 🥲

I think its better if someone who knows what they are doing would do it lol

[quick crow]

you shouldn't give up too quick, but it takes a time to learn. Dont expect instant results. Take your time, maybe spend a bit on learning parts of modding bit by bit, whenever you have time. you got that!

[split vale]

It took me over 3 months to get the hang of just doing simple tail-light mods, Everyone learns at their own pace no one is rushing you so always keep that in mind, Just take it slow and don't give up, I truly feel like anyone could do some basic modding for beamng, Just takes a little bit, Even Im still learning things over a year into modding and I even make mistakes/make things that look awful or just dont work sometimes, Thats the part of modding that I find is beautiful, Every single mod is unique in its own way 🤝 dont give up

I won't lie modding for beam is difficult in very many different aspects but when you get things to work, It makes all the effort that much more special to you, I hope you do try and make some mods and anyone else thats reading the chat that hasn't tried that wants to should really go ahead and do it, Once you start to understand it all its so much fun and theres endless things you can make and modify etc..

[compact pendant]

Funny enough I have some sennheiser mics designed for cae audio! I'm just not sure on the coding side how to get that to work

[quick crow]

its pretty easy actually

i could show you or just do the code if you would want to collab?

[cobalt fern]

jbeam is absolutely horrendous to work with, you're doing amazing work with 3d modeling but the jbeam side is just absolutely horrific

can't complain that it allows for amazing granularity in simulation but god could they have opted to not specify thousands of lines of node and beam info, within the main component files

[sage oriole]

does anyone know what specular map (from non pbr materials) would be in pbr?

[cobalt fern]

based on some quick research it sounds like you've got a metallic/roughness map instead

[sage oriole]

yeah ik that far but i need it to be correct

[drowsy leaf]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/materials/materials_1.5/switching-from-015/

[sage oriole]

i already know im just tryna find out which map specular would be

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well there isnt really a direct translation so you are gonna have to make a metalic and roughness map from scratch

[sage oriole]

ah okay got it

[drowsy leaf]

you cant really take the black and white data from a specular map (1 channel) and then divide it into 2 black and white maps (2 channels)
since the texture data is just not there

[sage oriole]

ohh so its like roughness and metallic combined?

[languid timber]

Regarding this skin: I'm working on it, the only thing left is the white paint on the back of the mirrors, the yellow stripe on the sides and the "POLICE OF CALARII" text

[quick sparrow]

Do you guys know a good not stolen bmw e30 or e38 mod ?

[sage oriole]

im working on a e38 mod but u can expect that to release in like 2 years

[stiff surge]

does anyone know of a mod that gives you a digital dash for the ETK 800?

[grave phoenix]

Are there any good rural USA maps?

[cobalt fern]

I like river highway personally

[late badger]

cool

[torn marsh]

hello, what is the best tutorial for make mods?

[barren magnet]

there really arent any

it depends on what you want to do with modding

[torn marsh]

I'm learning on my own, I used another mod as a base and put the hood on the car I want but it stayed in that place, what should I do?

Noh...

I have only created a paid mod to be able to use it as an investment to be able to create more mods, I am looking at the western star 57x theme, soon I will publish a forza horizon 5 ford transit, and other mods that will be free

[brazen cypress]

Does anyone know who makes the tesla model x that i keep seeing in yt vids?

[bronze crescent]

hey guys i need some help

@frank cove yo

how do i make a ramp in beamng bigger like how do i scale it

cause thte scale (key 3)

thing won't work

[sage oriole]

there are a few search urself but most modders just learn it by themselves

[frank cove]

3 Key should work

Never doesn't work for me

[bronze crescent]

i just "tuned" the ramp

why is that when i do ctrl c and ctrl v the item spawns inside the origianl item

like it basically does ctrl D

how do i do ctrl c and spawn something somewhere else with cttrl v

[frank cove]

Click and drag is what I do

+Shift

[bronze crescent]

when i spawn a container it has gravity but theres other items on the map that dont have gravity and they can float

how do i make the containers float

and get rid of their gravity

[graceful blaze]

any one got som good police cars ?

i cant find any good ones

[frank cove]

You are spawning a container item not object

the ones with no gravity are static objects

They can be found in the asset browser

[bronze crescent]

https://www.tiktok.com/@shortsbr.z/video/7380181866604776710

does this guy build his maps or are these downloadable somewhere

[frank cove]

The jump is car jump arena but they added those wall thingies

Aslo if you plan on making that sort of content I BEG of you not to

[bronze crescent]

why

[bronze crescent]

where can i find the car jump arena

can you make these maps for me

[frank cove]

It is low effort bottom dollar useless garbage that paints beamng in a VERY negative light

Do something creative with your time

[frank cove]

No

[strange kettle]

Yes I can confirm this crap ruins the whole community’s image

[bronze crescent]

i only downloaded beamng because i saw that content

its the only reason im even playing the game, to do stuff like that lmao

[strange kettle]

bruh

how old even are you 😭

[bronze crescent]

ctrl s saves the level how do i load the level

[frank cove]

To do it is fine, just don't post that useless garbagio onto tiktok

[bronze crescent]

like what if all my containers get knocked down how do i respawn them

[frank cove]

Shift R iirc

[bronze crescent]

how do i reload the level to the last saved point

iirc?

[frank cove]

If I recall correctly

[bronze crescent]

whats iirc

[frank cove]

If I recall correctly

[bronze crescent]

wait whats iirc what command is that @frank cove

[strange kettle]

HE TOLD YOU TWICE

IF I RECALL CORRECTLY - IIRC

ahem sorry for that

[frank cove]

No need to shout lmaoo

[bronze crescent]

ik but

if he recalls correctly that its irrc

the hell is iirc on my keyboard

ik ctrl and alt and shift

[strange kettle]

im window jumping

[bronze crescent]

im confused

[strange kettle]

If he recalls correctly, it’s Shift+R

[bronze crescent]

shift r

[strange kettle]

that’s what this message says

[bronze crescent]

bet

[frank cove]

iirc is not a command it is shorthand for if I recal correctly, like how lol is laugh out loud, or how rizz is short for charisma

Just using less words to get the point across but I understand how that can be confusing

[strange kettle]

wow i didn’t know that last one actually lol

[bronze crescent]

rizz is from duke dennis

not charisma

[frank cove]

Who?

legit never heard of him

[bronze crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/boy-aint-no-way-wow-gif-22526930

duke dennis how do you not know him he invented rizz

[frank cove]

Oxford dictionary says it is short for charisma

Likely Duke got it from that and just made it popular

Usually how things go. Its a obscure subculture thing until it is brought to light by an influential person or form of media

[brazen cypress]

yo, does anyone have a mod for a paintable d-series frame?

[obsidian summit]

hmm, will there be another japanese brand?
I know that there is

(Vanilla)
Ibishu = Honda
Hiroshi = Subaru

(Modded)
Arima = Toyota

but will there another brand fill the void of not having a Mazda, Suzuki, Izuzu, Nissan (Datsun), Daihatsu?

[strange kettle]

the brands we have (Ibishu and Hirochi specifcally) fit in multiple IRL brands.

Like for example Ibishu is a mix of Nissan, Honda and sometimes Mazda too

and besides you can always mix them up freely

so a Hirpchi that’s a honda

[quick crow]

i have a feeling this guy isnt old enough for discord

[obsidian summit]

same his speaking & logic seem to childish

[quick crow]

the name really doesnt help

[keen moss]

what mods are a must have?

cuz idk what to get

[strange kettle]

Hmm and what kind of cars are you interested in the most?

[keen moss]

any

[strange kettle]

Alright so uh

Hmm

There’s quite a few good mods idk if i can just list them all that’d be too long lol

[keen moss]

list 3-5

[strange kettle]

hmm alright
Hirochi CCF, 1994 ETK K-Series, Procyon Centauri, Gavril Vertex, Hirochi Mistral

these are just 5 random ones
but you can go to the website’s "Mods" tab then sort by rating

and that’s where you can find more

[obsidian summit]

and there is some coming soon that are a must have

simulator adventures made a video on them

[quick summit]

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

[fathom thorn]

Satsuma has been used on a couple lore friendly Datsuns before

[obsidian summit]

But that came from My Summer Car

[frank cove]

(including some lore cars)

Ibishu imo:
Nissan : 200bx, Miramar
Honda : Covet, Pessima mk1, Ibishu Prodigy
Suzuki : Hopper, Pigeon (kinda, mostly reliant accept japanese)
Not sure: Pessima Mk2 (Has mazda and honda vibes)

Hirochi:
Subaru : Sunburst, SBR4
Mazda : CCF
Mitsubishi : Mistral, Sunburst also applies here
Kawasaki : Aurata (looks like a Can-Am too)

Arima:
Lexus/Toyota (modded only)

So I think Datsun would be either Ibishu or a subsidiary of Ibishu

Procyon also has some Lexus, Infinity sorta elements to it so I'm not sure how that fits in

Overall I think that the brands have done a good job being their own thing so you can really put the car you make into whatever you want pretty much

[fathom thorn]

There’s the satsuma 210 based off of the Datsun 220

[urban surge]

Is there a jaguar xjs mod

[sacred stag]

any good starter mods?

[frank cove]

My reccomendation when new to the game is to play vanilla for a while. But once you want to start getting into mods, anything with good reviews and lots of downloads on the offical repository will do you well

[sacred stag]

thanks

how do i fix these textures to this mod? (have lowest graphics on bc a lot of vehichles loaded but thats not why)

[dense jungle]

where did you get that mod

if its not from the forums, then it would mean its a low quality mod using materials from the vanilla vehicles but one, likely the 200bx got updated and broke the materials

[dense tangle]

pigeon and wigeon seem both like Honda prototype car

[zenith cloud]

ngl thats kinda tasty

i fw it heavy

[zenith cloud]

clear cache but might also be conficting mods

[cobalt fern]

not currently 😦 that would be a really cool idea though we don't exactly have many british car options right now

[fathom thorn]

It’s probably outdated

[zenith cloud]

or that

[cobalt fern]

ive been having too much fun with the sound blends 🫣 i really should, y'know, actually model the car because that's kind of important

[zenith cloud]

god im so excited for engine simulator 3d

you guys should watch his newest devlog

the hayabusa engine literally sounds so crazy

[cobalt fern]

as much as i hate to admit it starting with one of the base game cars does make the process way easier 😅

engine sim 3d looks spectacular

will the engine performance numbers translate to beamng

bro listen to this

this is a super early model and it already sounds like this

this sounds like a bad recording of a hayabusa

maybe like an old camera mounted on a rear seat

[urban surge]

Would've been awesome with so much types of configurations I can imagine of the xjs it would be a great opportunity

[bronze crescent]

guys i need help

where do i install mods, vehicles/maps I normally do it by broswing local files for beamng then i go to content then vehicles or levels and i install them there

but i just saw a text file that says "DO NOT INSTALL MODS HERE" so im wondering wheres the proper place to install them

@frank cove yo

[frank cove]

Install it into the mods folder

[bronze crescent]

i dont see a mods folder

[frank cove]

Its in your user folder

[bronze crescent]

i downloaded a map into the levels folder

and now my games not responding

[ocean mauve]

Mods should go here: https://documentation.beamng.com/support/userfolder/

Not in the actual game files

[bronze crescent]

bet but my pc just crashed

[bronze crescent]

how come?

[bronze crescent]

the califronia canyons map wont load on my pc

game keeps crashing

[cobalt fern]

I juust started on my current project based on 1994 McLaren F1 but id be lying if I didn't want to throw it to the wind and start working on a fictional xjs 😂

[fathom thorn]

Maybe your pc isn’t good enough to run it

[bronze crescent]

i have a 4060 ti

yo how do i pull out the script ai manager tab

[bronze crescent]

how do i turn my car headlights on

[cyan drum]

press N

[bronze crescent]

how do i put crash dummys in my car

[cyan drum]

install a mod

[bronze crescent]

does having 2 monitors connected to my pc lower my FPS for beamng

[cyan drum]

if beam is only using one then no

[bronze crescent]

alright

[bronze crescent]

Best place to download mods?

[languid timber]

Yo I finished this for you, I sent it to you in your DMs

[languid timber]

The official BeamNG repo. The only other external website for BeamNG mods that's trusted by most of the people in here is beam-monsters.com (if we're talking about free mods)

[bronze crescent]

ive been using modland . net this whole time

did i download a virus

[bronze shard]

probably not, but that is a genuine concern as that site doesnt vet the uploads. do not recommend using it

[bronze crescent]

can you build me some maps in your free time

[cyan drum]

likely not, what you did download though was a bunch of shit mods

[bronze shard]

sorry dude, already have 700 trillion things on the to-do list. supposed to be working on them right now lmao

[near dragon]

I suggest opening the controls tab in the BeamNG settings, That will tell you.

[bronze crescent]

i cant find Tesla in vehicles in beamng repository

can someone help me find the Tesla car

[near dragon]

Name brand car's are not aloud in the repo

[frank cove]

eSBR800 is a pretty good vanilla equivalent. Though it is more sporty and much more interesting

there’s no good tesla mods

just wondering, has there ever been a mod that turned the bastion into something australian

like a commodore but beam lore-friendly

because id love to work on something like that but i wanna make sure nobody had that idea before me

[near oyster]

Working on my first mod: a rebadged Roamer

[strange kettle]

Haven’t heard of that, plus you should do something if you want even if someone else did it, so I suggest you should feel free to make it

[alpine saffron]

i yearn for the day someone makes a lore freindly K11 Micra

[woven crow]

yeah i guess youre right, im just lowkey afraid of people saying "oMg yOu cOpIeD x mOdDeR's iDeA!!!!!"

[tropic lake]

how do i fix this NO NORMA thing

am i missing something in the mod files?

[quick crow]

just don't listen to those people and its not forbidden to get inspired

[cyan drum]

as long as you don't steal assets from x mod you're fine

[quick crow]

its a problem with the 3D models normals i guess

[quick crow]

yeah

[tropic lake]

oh

how do i fix it

[quick crow]

not sure, sorry. probably recalculating normals in blender tho

[tropic lake]

I have no idea what tht is but thx

[woven crow]

true fair enough

[limpid token]

Check if you have a proper normal map texture assigned to material

Maybe the game wants to 'connect' to one but there's no normal map in the files

[tropic lake]

Guys where is backup folder

help

i done uninstalled everything i think

all my mods gone

💀

[remote wadi]

Womp Womp

[tropic lake]

bro.

Cuz i cleared cache and ye

the rest is history

[vernal hull]

I hope the devs eventually add documentation for the digital race gauges

[drowsy leaf]

clearing cache doesnt remove mods what are you on about

[tropic lake]

i did the deep cleaning caeche and all my mods are gone

[abstract root]

if someone drop mods to: steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive then it removes all of them

[drowsy leaf]

where were your mods installed

[tropic lake]

the content folder

OH

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well thats not how you install mods

[tropic lake]

So thts why there was DO NOT INSTALL MODS HERE

[drowsy leaf]

you were installing them to your game files not mods folder

[drowsy leaf]

no its because it also messes with the game, and you cant activate or deactivate them since the game thinks they are official content and not mods

[tropic lake]

Oh well

So now what

[cobalt fern]

if they arent in recycle bin might be time to start looking on mod sites

force feeding my computer an obscene number of car pictures to prototype some car body ideas, not sure what its doing with some of these but im here for it

of course the actual design for the model id need to draw out and such but its great to quickly toy with an idea

[tropic lake]

Its time to start lookin on mod sites🥲

[cobalt fern]

there is a user folder but more importantly a do not install mods here for a reason hopefully wasnt too many mods

[tropic lake]

there were at least 20 car mods

im not sad or sum but lazy to reinstall all of em

there still icons left in cars menu 💀

how do i get rid of them

[sinful geode]

Clear cache

[tropic lake]

Again?

[cobalt fern]

i like to hit the update all mods button it seems to take inventory of whats there if i'm not seeing an unpacked mod i made

[scenic torrent]

does anyone know why kjlp might not work only for the 200bx when i spawn one it just flies away 😦

[tropic lake]

I found them

thx for help

[crystal prism]

is there any way to change the horn sound?

[fathom thorn]

Because the 200bx was remastered, it doesn’t work anymore

[fathom latch]

you need the legacy 200bx mod in order for the parts to continue working

same with any other pre-bx mod

[lilac sable]

Looks kinda strange, but I’d daily it in campaign

[cobalt fern]

its giving whatever merkur would have come out with if they didnt fall flat before the fox body mustang dropped

[inland flint]

I was inspired by this audi (I know that Legran is not a German car)

[drowsy leaf]

you could just

or a 81 charger

honestly i didnt expect even half this good but im toying with the idea of ai -> 3d model for a primitive 3d 'reference model' to use in conjunction with reference photographs

its distorted to all hell but it shows good potential as a way to help visualize certain characteristics from a nonstandard angle

[cobalt fern]

oh that audi is legendary stuff dude

[final topaz]

how do you make a mod for beamng? i REALLY wanna get into modding but i have no prior coding/modding experience

any help is much appreciated 🙏

[latent ivy]

anyone know any good automatic working traffic lights mod?

they dont work when in normal

[stark grove]

your traffic lights don't have materials...

Clear your cache

they should work fine when they actually have materials

[latent ivy]

ah oki thanks Zicon

[cobalt fern]

to be completely honest making a vehicle is an EXTREMELY tall order, ive been doing game dev/scripting for quite a bit and found myself super overwhelmed making jbeams from scratch. personally i think the easiest thing to learn is to create a world object like a ramp, loop, tree, or some other static object. it'll help you learn to use blender and doesn't require looking at any code
initially i thought to use a template car/example car to help me make a vehicle but ive found it WAY easier to copy a vanilla car as someone else here had recommended and then make my modifications from there because all the parts are there you just end up adjusting them to your liking. if you think about it theres a vehicle in vanilla beamng for most all kinds of drivetrain setups
if you want to start with vehicles i recommend that or i recommend even moreso you make a mod part like a bumper or different engine internals to get an idea for how it works. but as i said at the beginning i do think making a prop that doesnt move is FAR easier if you have never had coding experience because its all through a graphical interface with keyboard and mouse, you dont have to look at code

[final topaz]

ive had some experience coding (like an hr only) and ive tooken a class on 3d objects with blender so i get how to do somethings but inderstand what you mean about starting small
i think i might start with the very basics like even just a cube but im a naturally fast lear ner with things so hopefully this wont be too difficult

thanks alot for the tips tho dude 🙏

[cobalt fern]

and another piece of advice, lua is scripting/coding but jbeam files are a modified version of JSON, and JSON happens to be an easy to read way to organize information in a way that the computer can also read it too. if you're unfamiliar with it i recommend you look up how JSON works and it'll give you an idea of the syntax/phrasing requirements of Jbeam. jbeam is mostly JSON style data and the huge blocks of text tend to be nodes and beams, because for whatever reason every single vertex and beam that is physically simulated (the car you see while driving around is kind of like a skin put over a skeleton, and the skeleton is like the hitbox/jbeams of the car and usually are fewer polygons) and personally it was overwhelming to look at, but as i said because its very similar to JSON, the rest of the jbeam file should be readable for you to learn to make sense of

in essence you wouldnt necessarily need to code a script to make a new vehicle but you would need to be familiar with JSON and blender, for adjusting the physics version/beam model of the car, and then the 'skin' the physics version wears

[final topaz]

yup ive looked at some tutorials and ive gotten the basics of JSON coding so far

[obsidian heron]

I want to get into modding, but I first want to learn how to modify the engines first, like SC kits, custom exhaust, etc...

Also wanna learn how to make a map, events, and some other stuff eventually

[green stream]

That's always a good starting point tbh. I can't say I went about starting in a sane manner but, really it boils down to cross referencing things in the beginning and gaining to ability to understand what you are reading and writing. I personally think engine's is where everyone should start if they are planning on mainly doing car related things. That being said it really depends on what you forsee yourself doing. Nothing wrong with learning it all tho.

[obsidian heron]

Yea, if I actually get onto learning, I eventually want to grow into developing good engines sounds, custom body parts, this and that.
Eventually, maybe I'll make my own car ||Beamng is lacking british cars, roadsters, and mid engine cars that are low power||

[green stream]

I feel like if you sit down and set time to learn it. It'll all come naturally (:

[obsidian heron]

I acceled in my comp sci class compared to other people. I just need to set the time aside to start working on it.

[green stream]

The hardest part at least on my end was learning blender or what ever 3d software you choose. As even the basics can take a while to get imprinted in your brain. I'm 4 months in learning blender and I mean eat sleep and dreaming it and still find little hang ups that cause issues.

[obsidian heron]

That's the thing that concerns me most is Blender. Only 3d modeling program I have used before is TinkerCAD.

I've also been meaning to learn another 3d modeling CAD software as well for 3d print projects I want to do

[green stream]

Completely understandable 3d model is a giant pool of things to learn not even just modeling but, shader nodes, uv, baking, etc. It's a giant amount of things to learn and while you don't nessecarily need all of it for beamng mods. It's overwhelming at times.

Luckily there are hundreds of thousands of hours of tutorials for anything you could think of. I'd recommend starting with the classic donut tutorial. 🍩

[night wren]

anybody know some good quality porsche mods ?

[velvet cipher]

yeah imo something like a quattro would be better suited as an I-Series variant like WBIMP had but something like a daytona would be really cool

[strange kettle]

I know 2 but they are in development, the Herrman 610/410 and the PUR S
You can find them both in #1102973298222051358 if you want

as for released mods, sadly I don’t know any high quality ones

@drowsy frost hey do you have like a pack of decals for beamng lore brands for making skins?

sorry for the ping but I just saw that you seem to be the one making skins for nearly every mod

[cobalt fern]

im doing some absolutely diabolically horrific side renders from extremely poor photoshopping and it doesnt even really look like a mid engine car :harold:

its almost giving amc javelin if you were legally blind

oh well actually ControlNet might be doing some magic for me here

definitely interested to see what it will do with a hand drawn image (either way i need to draw some reference images for a consistent design across the different angles, these renders dont ever seem to match 1:1

err i guess how to tie this in with actual modding discussion, for those who model do you typically start modeling a monocoque or frame like how you would start with a frame and then put parts into it in a car factory or model a whole shell and split it apart later?

[drowsy leaf]

you make a shell
make sure its good by spending a while on it
cut parts
model chassis
add suspension from vanilla car
add engine
add backside to panels
model lights
model interior
then uv everything
texture it :p (its not simple)
then hit the keyboard a bunch of times to get it ingame
tldr : dont make a car mod as a first mod

[cobalt fern]

yeah its certainly a huge undertaking and not anything i expect to have finished soon, good to know that workflow - ive spent a good time playing with the individual steps across different projects but wanted to know the stages to chain it all together to a single high quality project

[drowsy leaf]

expect any of your expected time to complete to be like 10 times higher

[cobalt fern]

its definitely a completely new world from designing assets for games where i can rely on rigid body collision or animated armatures

far cry from the days of making gmod addons thats for sure

[drowsy leaf]

as long as you uh not have insane polycount the mesh is quite similar, specially if we are talking about source engine since thats a pretty old engine
id say a full car generally goes up to 100k

[cobalt fern]

the vanilla car is definitely a good place to start as far as that goes, some models look and perform just awful because the poly count is way too high

i was pretty surprised how far fewer vertices/edges are what physically get simulated, the cars are really just a fancy overlay

[chilly marsh]

each time I see a kei truck mod come out in beam I absolutely lose it

[cobalt fern]

it clicked, the image that started it all looks like a testarossa with others mixed

[cobalt fern]

same i would love to see a dense asian city type map with the level of detail you see in the vanilla maps to match

[chilly marsh]

I would absolutely love that

Or even some more rural type maps that match smaller towns kinda like the east coast map, but larger

[cobalt fern]

river highway is fantastic if lacking a bit of detail in certain areas

[chilly marsh]

noted, I will definitely get that

A more full answer for you:
Modland has zero quality control on what is uploaded. At best, this means that poor quality mods get uploaded, at worst, viruses and other malicious content can be uploaded with no resistance.
You can get good mods from modland, but generally they're either leaked paid mods, or re-uploads of stuff from the forums. As a general rule, look at the filetype of the download, if its a zip file with normal game folder structure in it, then you're generally safe, anything else approach with caution. If its a .exe, .bat, .dll or other such file, avoid like the plague.

[quick badge]

I have a question. How to get the x,y points of a car's jbeam to use it in js code?

[sharp turret]

@near dragon , or anyone. Does anybody know what name Spencer Johnson goes by on Discord? I need to ask a few questions from him, and there are a lot of Spencers on here

[dense tangle]

[quick crow]

yes. Some people also steal mods and earn money with them, even tho the mod creator releases them for free, which is very scummy.

[sharp otter]

[quick crow]

and it is also against copyright and illegal.

i think this one

[willow jolt]

Blender (or your modelling program of choice) will have the coordinates of vertices available.

[sharp otter]

👌

[willow jolt]

I start with some reference cars, similar to where I want to end up then I:

Get some ideas for chassis layout
Build a basic backbone
Add in a basic engine
Add basic suspension and wheels
Build body shape
Cut body shape
Turn into panels with points to mount to chassis
Add features (lights, grilles, etc)
Add doors and moving body parts
Add interior

UV unwrap parts
Make texture files
Make normal maps
Make materials

Tidy up polies
Add details to body
Remove engine and build my own
Remove suspension and build my own

Then comes the Jbeam fun which mostly involves maths and the removal of hair from your scalp.

[inland arch]

where do i find a good tesla model x?

[sharp turret]

your nearest tesla dealer, but i dont know of any good mods for that

[green pier]

jbeam basically goes
edit something > try to understand why it broke > figure it out 15 mins later & repeat

or you just make a jbeam and it works first try

[green pier]

You need to copy the models and the jbeam from the tseries and add them to the back of the pickup. Most work is probably just attaching the jbeam of the fifth wheel to the bed

[fathom thorn]

Put them in appdata\local\beamng.drive\0.32\vehciles\CARNAME\

Or go to the config save/load menu for the car the config is for, and then click on open configs folder

If it doesn’t use mods in the config, the yes

[true turret]

[willow jolt]

Body colour or black? Which looks better?

[fathom thorn]

Body coloured

[bronze shard]

i prefer black

[willow jolt]

See I thought the same, but the black does look clean too.

Maybe I'll make both an option in the config lol

[bronze shard]

that would be my vote, could go either way as both look good

[willow jolt]

The whole thing as of right now. The front needs some remeshing as the polies are clashing a bit around the headlights, but I'm loving it so far.

[fathom thorn]

That’s a good idea

[drowsy leaf]

black would work if it was a different panel

[willow jolt]

How do you mean, like an inset panel? Or just a different group?

[drowsy leaf]

an inset panel

[willow jolt]

Might give it a try

[drowsy leaf]

something like this

if you get what i mean

since if it was the same panel it would make no sense to paint it differently

[willow jolt]

The rear panel is inset from the rear wings and the boot lid, I could increase the inset

It's currently only by about 5mm

I was thinking as the car will have 2 spec levels, a GT spec with 80hp and a Sprint spec with 95hp I could put the black panel on one option by default.

The Sprint could maybe have that an a black roof

Anyway, I'm off to bed, it's 3am and I'm up in 3 hours 😄

[latent ivy]

anyone has this mod can help me?

https://www.beamng.com/threads/1973-ford-falcon-xb-gt-hardtop.57729/ i installed it but it didnt sppear in my car tab list

[median pewter]

Is there a mod that allows us to grab multiple trailers in campaign?
Its not often but sometimes there are trailer missions to the same location and its possible to make a B train... if i could grab a 2nd contract.

[hybrid kite]

i'm not sure if this is possible, but would there be any way to change the colour of the rings in the headlights? perhaps in the code somewhere and change the rgb values? if anyone has an idea i'd greatly appreciate it, i only have very basic programming/modding knowledge.

[median pewter]

Find the jbeam that controls the lights, should be in there.

[hybrid kite]

I'm not sure how to get that?

[median pewter]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles`[Vehicle name].zip\vehicles`[Vehicle name]

For example Autobello_Headlights contains the line
"lightColor":{"r":255, "g":255, "b":150, "a":255},

You understand RGB right?

[hybrid kite]

Yes i do

This?

[median pewter]

you need the jbeam

[hybrid kite]

Where do i find that?

[median pewter]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles`[Vehicle name].zip\vehicles`[Vehicle name]

[hybrid kite]

im in that

[zenith cloud]

why has nobody made the man tgs pbr yet? it stands out so bad

[zenith cloud]

i think body colour looks better but i think you should keep the black as an option

[zenith cloud]

i think that mod is severely broken but it seems like somebody made a fix for it

https://www.beamng.com/threads/1973-ford-falcon-xb-gt-hardtop.57729/page-17

bottom of page 17

[latent ivy]

love you man

[zenith cloud]

thanks man, i cant guarantee it works (i saw some people having trouble with it a little further down the thread) but i mean it IS a 6 year old mod and it is being kept afloat by community members

[grand yoke]

is there a mod to remove the reverse speed limit on the electric cars

i wanna do 100mph j turns

[tawny lynx]

this mod makes no sense

what kind of market in the USA would want a Kei Truck? (NO ONE)

[drowsy frost]

People can make stuff for fun.

[barren magnet]

womp womp, plus daihatsu did sell the hijet in the US briefly, and the sambar technically was exported to the EU, but only in van form as the larger displacement domingo

there are a ton coming over as low speed vehicles and for farm use

[drowsy leaf]

im sure a lot of people would if manufacturers werent fucked over by cafe laws

[elder raven]

Or the chicken tax

[drowsy leaf]

the chicken tax is not as big as a problem as just not being able to comply with regulations

[harsh coyote]

didn't they actually sell some kei truck things as utility vehicles in the states?

yeah they did

here cushman truckster

[cold pewter]

I mean there was a Chevrolet kei truck too

well kei van

nvm truck as well

[abstract mango]

those minitrucks are used worldwide iek what pack was blud smoking

[dense tangle]

ig he means that they werent officially sold outside of jjapan, hich they were so yeah... what is blud smoking

[harsh coyote]

the chevy and ford were mexican market I guess?

[dense tangle]

i mean EUDM is as easy as clear indicators ig

MXDM rel

[harsh coyote]

I like the fact modder decided to use non JDM model

[dense tangle]

prolly tho dirt cheap transport

[harsh coyote]

as LHD is nice to have in cars considering most maps in game are in lhd countries

[dense tangle]

also wen pigeon frame bugfix

[harsh coyote]

I hate using the pigeon and wigeon in game personally becuase both are rhd only 😄

when wigeon came out I spent like a month making a mod to make them both lhd if I remember right

[dense tangle]

i meant the thumbnail problems but yeah (also thats piss ez to fix )

[dense tangle]

wharg you just have to mirror the mesh to the other side

[harsh coyote]

(didn't work at beamng then)

[dense tangle]

fair

[harsh coyote]

welll... not only

[dense tangle]

jbeam yeah too

[harsh coyote]

if I remember right I had to fight a bit to make sure the steering column makes sense

[dense tangle]

but thats also uhh just mirror but i suppose without blender plugin it was a bit harder

[harsh coyote]

iirc I ended up mirroring the front suspension on 3 wheel version

[dense tangle]

shmart but doesnt make sense manufacture wise prolly

[harsh coyote]

and me being me I ended up turning both into trailers too for fun

and never released either iirc

cause I literally forgot

lol

[dense tangle]

ibishu is cheap ass so they wouldnt remake a whole steering system

[dense tangle]

i added a gooseneck to it

and roofrack

and normal towhitch AND cargo crates

i should prolly release that its been sitting for ages

[dense tangle]

relez it cus yes

[harsh coyote]

that was like idk

4 years ago

I don't think I even have the hard drive I put it on

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-wigeon-lhd.18767/ someone seems to have done something similar not too long ago tho

so chances are it may still work

[dense tangle]

prolly 100% so

oh yeah i also added a diesel to it

ignor the shitty reshade

also spoiler

[hybrid kite]

ur game looks so majestic

[dreamy arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

the bloom is too much lol

[cyan drum]

bros playing in an anime scene

[cobalt fern]

while my wireframes coming together nicely, im trying to do a little vertex cleanup and im sure there are areas that may need more base plot points before adding faces. should i subdivide my pointy curves and work them to be more detailed before i start adding faces, or is there a different way to go about 'automatically' curving some of the pointed parts like the sides of the fenders

😁 no doubt its gonna need a ton of work and all but definitely excited to be able to share like a render or something more tangible once its made solid

[safe gazelle]

are there any jbeam changes that make brakes harder to lock up besides just adding ABS?

[cedar thunder]

how could i import a gta 3 dff model even as a mesh slap for my own?

i wanna import the banshee

[mossy frigate]

You can change the brake strength in the tuning menu

If you want to do it on the jbeam, there’s also a brake strength set in the brake jbeam.
But remember that this setting will affect brake balance, so change it and then make sure your brake balance isn’t bad

[fossil latch]

Is there a racing mod for the pigeon?

[modern coyote]

hello ttn

[wild ocean]

[thick niche]

if you are building in quads, try to stay with quads this can help normals alot down the road

try not to mix triangles and quads together

[drowsy leaf]

for beamng that doesnt matter

[thick niche]

really? I thought that was the case for all modeling,

[drowsy leaf]

yeah

[thick niche]

well crap, i stand corrected and have been hindering myself.

[drowsy leaf]

i mean even depending on what ngons are fine

[drowsy leaf]

london cab?

[wild ocean]

daihatsu mira fr fr

[drowsy leaf]

[thick niche]

[steel bramble]

looks good

[dense tangle]

unless theyre on an edge of a window frame for example and have no geometry off one side

then the game makes 2 huge tris along the vertices and doesnt keep the shape

[steel bramble]

is there any way to have any car have any engine

[strange kettle]

if you painstakingly move every engine to the common folder and somehow adjust all of them to fit every engine bay and every drivetrain then maybe

plus every car has a different transmission

so it gets very messy

[steel bramble]

would be cool is someone made a mod for it

[fathom thorn]

Agent y made a mod for that

It’s not perfect but it works

[steel bramble]

where

can i get it

@plush ruin

this guy

[plush ruin]

?

[steel bramble]

you made a mod good sir

[plush ruin]

Yeah

[steel bramble]

can i some how get that mod perchance

[plush ruin]

I assume you mean this? https://www.beamng.com/resources/vehicle-global-strength-weight-size-and-other-values-edit-works-for-mods.14868/

You can just search for it on repository and install from there

[steel bramble]

the one that will make it so you can put any engine in any car

[plush ruin]

Yeah that's the one

You use it via the nitrous oxide slot

It will let you select engine swap

[steel bramble]

alr thx didn't know if i had to pay for it

[plush ruin]

It's free

All my mods are free

[steel bramble]

alr and is there a multiplayer community ?

[fathom thorn]

#community-announcements message

[dense tangle]

please dont say thats a kei car

otherwise competition i cant beat again

[strange kettle]

this thing feels like something most people would guess in 3 seconds but i wouldn’t be able to like at all

the shape feels like it’s strangely… specific i guess

[hollow helm]

No textures in the gunner patriot?

help

[cedar thunder]

gta 3 banshee

[wild ocean]

perhaps

[dense tangle]

youve got to be kidding me why

nothing against you but its just so bad to know ill get absolutely shit on again

because someone better is out there

imma die

[wild ocean]

wdym

this is my first proper attempt at a lore friendly car dw lol

[dense tangle]

first i made a kei truck that was good enough as a first mod and i got overshadowed by 2 very well known modders

[dense tangle]

i mean the Shima was my first mod so we on a similar page

[wild ocean]

What kei car are you working on atm?

(If I'm interpreting this right and you're making another kei car)

[dense tangle]

would you mind goin to dms? its eavy wip and sorta secret atm

[wild ocean]

sure

[cobalt fern]

now smooth that mfer out and give us the bruckell copperhead 🫡

[cedar thunder]

im still figuring out texturing😭😭

old blender is so much easier to use

[drowsy leaf]

you making a key car and someones gonna do it better than you orang

[cobalt fern]

If it's the exact model geometry of the original you should just be able to slap the texture on in blender and uvs line up

Do some materials json fuckery Flummery and have a basic material that utilizes that texture

I haven't got as far as texturing yet i still need to add some bumpers and like a floorpan and frame ig

so much to do 😮 I'm also realizing the moon hawk has an absolute dump truck rear end compared to my car

[cedar thunder]

well i got the no texture to go away but the glass is fcked

[cobalt fern]

😁 starting to get a lil trickier and mixing model years now so i can make sure my little cosmetic bits are more consistent

id like to think maybe this is the part where some more creative liberty comes into play with the body to make it fit

[cedar thunder]

the car works, glass is weird, and im too lazy to learn jbeam right now

[cobalt fern]

is the glass a different material in blender

[cedar thunder]

nope i coppied the glass directly from the moonhawk

[cobalt fern]

hmm

same material name as moonhawk's glass nd allat?

[cedar thunder]

yep

when the glass breaks its fine

[cobalt fern]

hmm

[bronze crescent]

need help asap

@frank cove yo

why won't the world editor script ai manager record vehicles when i put them in auto drive mode? (ctrl shfit I )

[cedar thunder]

i switched to the wendover and texture problems fixed, i used some viper wheels and now i need to figure out how to change the color of the car

[brazen cypress]

what is this

[cedar thunder]

gta 3 banshee

[crimson skiff]

We need some good 2 stroke eniges for the pigeon and wigeon. Like the one found in the peel p50 mod

[dense tangle]

i mean well see

[echo orchid]

can anyone help?, i heard there is a mod for career mode so i can get my cash back, i have restarted career mode a few times now and i just cba to do it all again.

[latent ivy]

anyone has the new bulldozer mod in BEAMNG?

[latent ivy]

didnt work

is it this

[zenith cloud]

Yeah thats the one i was refering to

But i mean that might have also been broken in a recent update

[latent ivy]

ok

[velvet cipher]

are there any car carrier trailer mods that are low car friendly but are still like casual? i want to get some track day weekend type photos

[gray laurel]

Is anyone able to help me find info about the Skoda 742 mod that's currently being reworked?

I swear there was a modding showcase forum post on it but I can't find it at all anymore?

It's ok, I think I found the forum post. Might have imagined the discord thread

[west ruin]

I would like to know what is better?

[drowsy leaf]

whats the difference

[west ruin]

the one below has a longer wheelbase

[drowsy leaf]

idk it doesnt look like it would matter much

[west ruin]

Also, do you think this car looks good?

[drowsy leaf]

its a cut up bx

[worthy heart]

yeah, wider enclosed trailer by fathomer

for the gavril d-series 6l diesel, would it be possible to give it the turbo dump that the scintilla has to give the truck a hood dump?

[dull sage]

Free 3D truck model

[dull sage]

Is a model of Scania R440

[zenith cloud]

Its probably a render model based on file size

Not really usable in beam

[dull sage]

try on blender or other software

[drowsy leaf]

"very detailed"

such realism suspension

worst polygon ever

[dull sage]

i got it from this site

[drowsy leaf]

who cares

[dull sage]

https://blender3dworksblog.wordpress.com

i just thought it was good im sry

idk how to do mods

[drowsy leaf]

ok

[ocean mauve]

Any modder interested in making it a mod, would be able to find or make the model themselves, there is really no point in sharing random models here

[grave violet]

Yo guys do you have some good and free lore friendly vehicle mods

[west ruin]

He looks similar but it's not him, if you put them next to each other they won't look alike

[abstract mango]

it's a cut up bx though

[drowsy leaf]

yea

[abstract mango]

he will try to argue that the proportions are different, but it doesnt matter lmao

[cobalt fern]

the trunk bin in the second one almost looks slanted down, and the curves for the body naturally make me think the shorter trunk looks better, like the rear end of a civic or camry

rear bumper set in progress

those little curves up by the c pillar need to be moved lower and made a bit wider now that i look at it from this angle

its got kinda this also dodge charger kind of profile going on about it

[cobalt fern]

im thinking ill end up redoing the top bumper its quite off, and curve the lower one more to the body - the shapes there but it looks more like the body has a little flare and then there just the small fiberglass bumper at the bottom

rather than 2 sets of bumpers

[zenith cloud]

yeah that looks way too high poly

[cobalt fern]

more rear end work - what do you guys like to do for adding lights into a model?

[latent ivy]

is c++ knowledge required to mod?

know 3d modeling, love this game but have 0 experience with c++

[cyan drum]

no

[latent ivy]

dope

gonna try to do something simple

maybe a kart

[cerulean pike]

Anybody know a mod for a lambo?

cuz i looked up lambo in the built in mod menu thing and it gave me a blue car that throws me out of the map everytime i spawn it

[barren magnet]

there are no licensed vehicles on the ingame repo, you will need to go to the forums on the official site to search for irl branded cars

[cerulean pike]

ok

Working on internal draws in the roamer as apart of an Offroad pack

[cobalt fern]

i suggest you get familiar with JSON syntax, its pretty straightforward to understand how a jbeam file is formatted

the contents within it are a whole different matter but it'll go something like { "glossary": { "title": "example glossary", "GlossDiv": { "title": "S", "GlossList": { "GlossEntry": { "ID": "SGML", "SortAs": "SGML", "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language", "Acronym": "SGML", "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986", "GlossDef": { "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.", "GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"] }, "GlossSee": "markup" } } } } }

Where can i find the model for a car

in the files

[cobalt fern]

@brazen cypress beamng installation directory (steamapps usually) /content/vehicles/your_favorite_car.zip

so cool

[brazen cypress]

Sorry i still dont understand

[cobalt fern]
