This'll also help me learn Blender as I go so we ballin chat

[split vale]

I wish you the best of luck, Thats a very extensive project you are about to take on, Definitely start slow.

[gilded minnow]

Thank you o7

[timid thunder]

Hey all, I'm using the indestructable engine / NOS mod and on some cars it stops the car from running. If I swap to standard NOS it runs fine, but with the indestructable the car won't start... I know it's an outdated mod that hasn't been updated for over a year, but I wondered if there's an easy fix?

[remote lodge]

anyone able to help me set up a mp server for me and my boys?

ive done all the ports on my firewall but doesnt seem to be working

[molten oxide]

Anyone know if there are any tractor mods

[prime flume]

How do I download thé JBEAM ADDON TO BLENDER please

[candid notch]

with hands

[cold pewter]

wow toyota prius wow

[fierce kite]

does anybody know how, if possible, i can edit the default paints for vanilla vehicles in beam?

because this, really bugs me, and my perfectionist mentality cannot allow me to live with it lol

dont even get me started on black paints

[dense tangle]

theyre per car in their info file

so technicaly yes

[fierce kite]

how would I be able to access that?

[dense tangle]

content > vehicles > your vehicle of choice > vehicles name of the car you chose > info.json

and open it in windows or 7z and only in the zip so it auto repacks the zip after you edit

the vakues are all there 0-1 and rgba iirc

[fierce kite]

ok thx

do you know if maybe it would be possible for me to make it into some kind of mod, cus i think that would be kinda cool

cus i honestly hardly know how to make mods lol

[fathom latch]

you could have the files you create in a separate zip file in your mods folder

but I don't believe you'd be able to release as modifying vanilla files (through mod or not) is a repo no-no

[dense tangle]

cant really because its not going to pass into the repo (to overwrite the paint would be to overwrite the info files, which is overwriting vanilla files which the repo doesnt allow)

[fierce kite]

ah ok, makes sense

[dreamy wren]

how do i install beam mp?

[fierce kite]

there should be like 40 different tutorials on YouTube for it

[barren magnet]

go to the beamMP server

#community-announcements message

[dreamy wren]

plus reputation to your account

[barren magnet]

good try

idc about rep personally tho

but yeah, that server has a full installation guide

[magic peak]

@fast drum hi men are you the one responsable by the etk s revamped?

[fallen zephyr]

i need a porsche mod body for automation can u give me recomanedations

[latent ivy]

Whoever made the radial engine, thank you

[white lotus]

this is probably a really dumb question but how are ppl allowed to mod irl cars into beamng, ac etc without legal issues from companies?

[fathom thorn]

Yes

You just can’t sell them (it is copyright infringement, but that doesn’t stop people), and they can’t be on the repo

It can go on the beamng forums however

[copper tulip]

anyone else having this issue with the astro

[fathom thorn]

Beam updated the i series lights, which probably broke that

[quaint hazel]

Is this a private mod?

[fathom thorn]

A radial in beam?
What mod is that?

[languid python]

i did a custom engine swap, anyone know how i can push the engine more back

[frigid palm]

@rough iris
What, if any, other plans do you have for the dseries mod?

I was curious about a Dakar style bed for the tiny stuff. Nothing fancy, just wider

End goal is to utilize your tiny bed to finally build the Dakar version of my truck.

I may or may not have an unhealthy attachment to the frontier platform

[cold pewter]

will be

will have us/jp configs, skins, police etc

[quaint hazel]

Oh ok

[snow stratus]

why are my mountains looking like this? actually it still shows up when my .dae files are hidden

[livid canopy]

Hi. I Made a ski. For d series and am having some issues. Can someone answer my question?

[fiery tapir]

Does anyone know any good mods for: Roof spoilers, clears, and all that jazz?

[midnight wren]

Is there a lore-friendly R32 atm?

[timber arrow]

Does anyone know how to create custom engine sounds for the t-series?

[rough iris]

Well it seems to have an entire custom body that is also the bed, so it would be a lot of work. I do also have an ever growing list of things to add one day, but I don't want to make false promises, so no exact details

However, I did already make hydraulic rear steer for the goliath suspension, in preperation of putting it on the 6x6 frames in the future

[dreamy wren]

good plate
looks friendly
like a pink pigeon van with a mattress on top

[dreamy wren]

i think it was meant to be "rotary"

[smoky pawn]

has anyone been able to make a 'new' career map yet, or will career mode get some more updates soon?

[green basalt]

Hello, can anybody help to apply the new Detailed mirror function an a custom truck?

[true mirage]

@dense portal Sorry if this annoys you, but would you make a Hirochi that is inspired by the CX60?

[strange kettle]

From #mods-faq: "Do not beg others to create mods for you"
Modders won’t make extremely high quality mods just because some random person asked them to. From what I’ve heard, comissions for mods are pretty expensive, so doing somethign ljke that for free would not be benefitting to anyone except the small group of people that wants said car.
I don’t mean this to be rude in any way, just saying that asking people to just do something won’t work

[misty onyx]

i want a low quality and i mean LOW quailty like i can see the jbeams spiking toytoa bim mod

[latent ivy]

Radial for D series I think it was called, it's on the first or second page on the repository

[frigid palm]

The images were just visual examples of the kind of style I was going for, not a request for a fully custom body, my bad. I really only meant a tiny bed with off-road style flares.

Just something that’s bumped out a little further than the off-road ones and isn’t as blocky.

Or even just basic trophy style where it’s the same bed lines just bumped out.

If I’m severely underestimating how much work that is, sorry.

Idk im kinda stuck in a loop where no matter how concise I actually explain it, I’ll always feel like it’s not coming across correctly

[gentle stone]

@near dragon I was wondering if you are already working on engine sounds for other vehicles?

[near dragon]

Yes sir! Just today I was out recording some new ones

[gentle stone]

Nice, can't wait for them to be implemented

Which engine tho?

[near dragon]

I've got the covet, And Legran under way

[near dragon]

I was out recording some 4 cylinder sounds for the pessima

[gentle stone]

V6 legran?

[gentle stone]

Ah, ok

[flat pivot]

hi

i have a quetion

why when i click on my mod in google the button view ingame launch BeamNG.drive but it doesn't show it just boot the game

[near dragon]

Yeah, I've done a V6 sound for it now I'm doing other sounds

[gentle stone]

Are you going to make special intake sounds as well sooner or later?

[near dragon]

I'm currently working on that, I might release the update for the covet soon but I'd really like to be able to release more sounds with the update so I'm not sure

[gentle stone]

Yh, makes sense, take your time!

All I really need to do is fix the text and make it fit 8 digits.

[dreamy wren]

Looks nice. Are these eastern block number plates? Hungarian? Poilsh? Czechoslovakian?

[steady swallow]

Fictional.

[frank cove]

Yes. There’s a few for the BX Diana chassis

Also, unrelated, is there a lore friendly Porsche? (No it wouldn’t be ETK)

iirc there was a mod in development called the Herman but I think that was the car name not brand

[celest sundial]

there's the pur

in development also though

[rough iris]

So there are already these, but I am assuming you want proper offroad widebody. But I don't know what the front end of the rear fenders should look like, since the bed ends there

[limpid token]

Pur on hold rn

But it will come bac

[frank cove]

I think Hermann was actually the brand but it’s half alpine half Porsche. I’ll use that tho if I get perms from the original creator of the brand

[limpid token]

I didn't get perms sadly😭 That's why I started using pur

[frank cove]

Maybe incorporate the pre runner rear flares into an actual bed instead of just for the tube chassis rear? That shouldn’t be too hard

[frank cove]

Ah

[frigid palm]

@rough iris this is a better explaination honestly

[frank cove]

Do you have a link to the WIP page (if there is one?)

For your PUR

[frigid palm]

But yeah kinda just cutoff at the body because if it extended into the body it would require further modification to the three different doors between the standard, extended, and crew cab

[rough iris]

that would be possible, and other people did it already, but as before, the bed is chopped in the front, which would look weird

[limpid token]

Yeah there's currently 3 PUR mods

Pur is kinda like a ruf but some stuff is from mercedes and some from porsche

[frank cove]

Oh I thought PUR was meant to be AMG lol

I have seen those threads

Cool looking cars just not quite Porsche

The PUR S is more Porsche tho

[limpid token]

Yes

Also the I-series mod is supposed to be a parody of the ctr yellowbird but in a sedan version

[midnight wren]

Oo, do you have any names by any chance?

[modest turtle]

Oooooooooooh that looks sick!

GMC Cyclone?

[thick niche]

don't get to excited, it's based on the 200bx for our drift comps. will have custom jbeam so matches body, working gauges, few extra parts but suspension/ engine is all 200bx

aka meshslap w/ jbeaming

[thick niche]

its a 91 gmc syclone, bodykit on a 1982 s10.

[frank cove]

GTZ-R iirc. That and my 80s racing pack sorta has one but it’s really just an AWD kit no straight 6 or anything

[modest turtle]

oh that's still pretty cool

I wanna join a drift comp

[midnight wren]

That one's a R33

[worldly mural]

#1233650117014323210 this one is kinda similar to a r32

[drowsy leaf]

No

I would know since I'm a developer

It's a mix of an r32 with the r33

Drivetrain is almost 1:1 r32

Design is more of a mix

I have a question, I want to use wheels from a car mod, without the car itself in the game, what all do I need to do to get the wheels to work without the car? Basically turn the whees into a mod of their own. (I've never done anything with modding, code, ect) All help is appreciated

Do I swap the main material file over as well?

Is there anything that is to be done differently?

(note, I did not edit the JSON file)

[near dragon]

Yes

Easily

It depends how good of a job you do 🙂

[rustic viper]

ay anyone down to help try out my mod? my pc can barely handle beamng so i cant myself

[near dragon]

What is your mod?

[rustic viper]

it's a racing scernario

[near dragon]

Sure why not, I just happen to be on the nordschleife rn anyway

[rustic viper]

oh nice but you need to install a fix to make the ai work correctly with the scenario

That's a shame, I made the Bastion sound better

[silk island]

hey so I'm trying to get animated characters into a modded level and that level doesn't show up when I place the unzipped folder containing the dae file and textures. that brings me a few questions, is there a specific branch of beamNG that I need to be on to have that show up with the modded in character with an animation attached? I tried placing the animation into shapes, both in and out of the source game levels folder, and both times the map wouldn't appear in the menu. It does however show up without the folder I added into the Shapes folder... so I was thinking maybe I'd need to have 7zip or something like that to open up the zip folder and successfully place the animation in without an error? I've been getting along fine not having it and extracting with whatever is built in to my laptop. Also, wondering if maybe disconnected scripts still remaining in the source file that I used to create the fbx, before going to mixamo to create a dae, could be what is causing the folder to either say its an invalid or corrupt zip OR just cause the map to not show in the game menu at all. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

[bronze shard]

tbh this sounds like mistakes have been made throughout the process. you should basically never touch the games content folders outside of a few specific purposes. you should never need a specific version of the game aside from the most up to date one outside of even rarer edge cases. make a more detailed post (pics help too) in #modding-general , animated stuff isnt really done on this scale and with such a vague post nobody will be able to help

[silk island]

cool thank you, I'll gather up some screenshots of what's happening. appreciate it!

[bronze shard]

no worries. pics, videos and diagrams are super helpful and make things easier to solve. the amount of times i have been diagnosing someones problem in a text post only to instantly solve when a screenshot gets posted is insane lmao

[silk island]

understandable lol theres a lot of variables that could be happening and proof is definitely a solid backing for troubleshooting.

Hello everyone, I have a question I download sometimes mods on beamng repository on the game but somes I want are on the forum part so i need to download them in zip, there is a risk of virus like others tiers websites like modland ? (I had a bad experience before)

[bronze shard]

generally everything uploaded directly on the forum will be safe. anything malicious usually gets caught at upload or shortly after being posted. just use basic internet/computer safety to check what you download if you are particularly worried about something

[grave urchin]

Love how nobody helps each other in this channel 😭

[split vale]

All mods uploaded to the repository are tested by moderators and are completely safe.

[strange kettle]

this isn’t support or mod devlopment help, plus the messae rigit above yours proves your point wrong 💀

What headlights would match?

i am thinking something that looks less like half closed eyes

depends what year is the car from

[unkempt socket]

2024

[unkempt socket]

I could try making them look more angry

[jovial stream]

If you want to go sporty, you could change the grille to match the Audi A8 d3 or maybe the new Toyota Yaris grille. For the d3, I would use Mazda headlights and for Toyota, something toyotish. To make it more like a BMW, maybe try adding more distinct body lines. The pictures shows what I mean by lines. Now your car looks messy. Hope you get what my gibberish

see how the headlights grilles and foglights have kindoff connecting lines?

my biggest problem are the foglights

doing something like this might help you create the character and give depth?

instead of just light

[strange kettle]

the same ppl that put mods in content folder after 0.32 probably

and those do exist

[ruby fable]

Idek what that means ngl

[strange kettle]

People put mods in the game files

Instead of the dedicated mod folder

[ruby fable]

How is that even possible

😭

[strange kettle]

which makes their game stuff up on updates often and they need to reinstall

[ruby fable]

How are you actually possibly that stupid what

[strange kettle]

and after 0.32 the devs put disclaimers in all caps in the folders to not download mods there

and some people still do it 😭

[ruby fable]

😭

That's actually crazy

How do you open the files see the mods folder and go "oh these MODS must go somewhere else"

I'd love to like study someone who does that

Cuase I genuinely don't understand how that is possible

[strange kettle]

i mean the mod folder is in the user folder

not in the files directly but in the stuff where your settings are saved

and time trials and configs and alla that stuff

So like before 0.32 it’s understandable to put that there

but after the update you have no excuses whatsoever.

[ruby fable]

Ohh I better understand what you were saying now, makes sense how someone could mess that up

[strong tide]

On what website can I find mods of real brand cars? Or is that something we do not talk about here?

[strange kettle]

The official forums (beamng.com/forums) is the only really safe place you can get real car mods

Sure, you won’t find every car possible, but at least they’re not gonna be badly deforming, game-breaking or straight up malware

[strong tide]

I see, thank you

[dense jungle]

you might be recommended a site like modland, but the official advice is to not go there, no matter how tempting it may be, not only are the mods low quality and stolen but theres malware hosted there

the lack of quantity (in comparison) is something you will need to accept

[strong tide]

Yeah, safety is my priority too so I'll just stick to the forum and repositorium

It's sad how mods are the best part of beamg and there isn't really a good website to get them from, one day I hope we get one official website where mods get posted like for mx bikes

https://mxb-mods.com/ (if you don't know what mx bikes is this is there modding website)

[cyan drum]

beamng.com:

[ruby fable]

I know they exist but I'm saying it should just be 1 website

As then there wouldn't be concerns with safety

[cyan drum]

you can safely ignore 99% of third party sites

beamng.com is safe

[ruby fable]

I know that but most people don't

[cyan drum]

also #mods-faq

[ruby fable]

It doesn't bother me but for others it would be nice

[cyan drum]

[ruby fable]

Ok

[barren magnet]

"one single safe place for mods"
is presented single safe place for mods
"yeah but like not that one"

[cyan drum]

almost as if he's doing what he's describing lol

[ruby fable]

Bruh you guys don't understand my point but it is fine ig

[cyan drum]

beamng.com is the official website already

it's literally in the name

[barren magnet]

yeah like idk what youre asking for then

the only reason that things get posted on third party sites is bc beamng has strict rules and moderation

[cyan drum]

I gave him what he asked for but if he insists then I'm afraid I can't help him lol

[barren magnet]

and third party sites dont, so they can post garbage with no consequence

[ruby fable]

I don't need help bruh 😭 I legit said that twice, pretty much what I am saying is it would be nice to have a completely seprate website for mods so it could be more organized, like the mod website that I linked that if you actually looked at you would understand the context of what I am saying lmao

[cyan drum]

that's just not necessary

[ruby fable]

I never said it was

"It would be nice"

[barren magnet]

i mean

[cyan drum]

in what way it would be nice

[barren magnet]

we literally have that already

[ruby fable]

Because the mods would be more organized

[cyan drum]

in what way

if anything I feel like more mod categories would be great to have
because "mods of mods" is just whatever

[ruby fable]

Becuase its separated from the forum better

[cyan drum]

and that contributes to organization in what way...?

[ruby fable]

It's not in the same place as unrelated things

[cyan drum]

repo and forums are already different categories

[ruby fable]

On the same page though, I am just a nitpicky person there is no need to take everything so litteraly, I'm just saying me personally I would like a seprate mod website, it's not a suggestion or anything just something I like for games

I just don't like it pretty much

[cyan drum]

that's a you issue then

[ruby fable]

I know

[fathom latch]

based on this, I'd assume the main complaint is that searching on the beamng site will bring up both mods and forum posts

thats my only gripe with the main site; if I'm looking for something specific, its a bit of a gamble as to whether its a removed resource, a forum post, or an actual mod thats ready to go.

[fathom thorn]

The search function in the ingame repo sucks
And there needs to be more organization/filtering/categories

[fathom latch]

but otherwise yeah, the beamng mods repo is the one place you really want to be looking

[cyan drum]

I agree, search feature is ass

[ruby fable]

I mean pretty much yeah, honestly most of it is just personal prefence though

[cyan drum]

just do this

[fathom latch]

thats what I do tbf

[ruby fable]

Objectively the website is fine, but I just don't like it

There is no real problem lmao

[drowsy leaf]

Yeah the forums is a outdated specially with the search function

You gotta know how to use it and the filtering on specific topics could be better

[dense jungle]

the forums and the repo already exist

and they technically are under one website, that being beamng.com

[subtle edge]

anybody know if theres any simple way to change the size of a whole car?

I have a car mod I like but i feel like it should be slightly bigger

[ruby fable]

Bro did you read the conversation or not

[cold bloom]

are there any Legit mods for Mustang??

[cyan drum]

@cold bloom

[modest turtle]

Soliad Spica!

And theres a Mustang mod on the forums!

[ocean mauve]

nice, side vents remind me of koenig specials

[dry quarry]

How do i change the two step rpms permanently per drive mode

Everytime i change it it reverts back to what is was before

[barren magnet]

we have testarossa at home

i like it though

[strange night]

lmao

[abstract mango]

rieger covet goes unfathomably hard, just needs a suitable set of wheels and a spoiler

[strange night]

i love rieger kits, saw one irl once
the covet kit is definitely rieger inspired lol

I am trying not to copy everything cause i dont want to get in any kind of trouble lol

[abstract mango]

you did a good job with mixing the scirocco front with the testarossa sides from the e30

are you from the netherlands or germany?

[strange night]

yeah i love the sides

I am from Austria

[abstract mango]

euro tuning territory

[strange night]

lol

[serene thistle]

anyone know a mod that makes the supercharger sound more realistic or louder?

[strange night]

That’s the one I saw irl

Looks so amazing

[abstract mango]

holy shit that's 3 of em

escort mk4, golf 2 and golf 3

[strange night]

yeah golf 3 is my favourit tho

[abstract mango]

i would suggest that you make the front arch smaller than the rear

rieger cars have a muscle look with bigger and wider rear wheels

[strange night]

they are a bit

[abstract mango]

that's the width, which is nice that you made wider in rear

but i mean the side of the arch

[strange night]

oh i get qhat you mean

i ll do that

[abstract mango]

here is a ref

it's a mk1 golf but it applies to all models from rieger

[steep merlin]

is there a mod suggestion, i litro dont have any ability on blender

[wet hemlock]

Speaking about blender, 3.6 will work fine for making things for Beamng right?

[barren magnet]

no

[barren magnet]

why specifically 3.6?

[clear heron]

Anyone got or know a OBS mod that works good

[green pier]

i know of an original rieger escort kit that got found not too long ago

the actual shell of the car was rotted out so they re used it on a new shell

[obtuse radish]

That didnt seem to work? Anymore advice you got?

[strange kettle]

Check if the vanilla cars with this issue have it in Safe Mode.

[wet hemlock]

I already have it on my PC as it's the newest version I can use to mod DCS

[tropic kindle]

@karmic crescent How is the M3 G80 doing so far?

[dusty bobcat]

sup

[karmic crescent]

atm, slow but good
just less time

[tropic kindle]

Ah ok

[thick niche]

i have a really nice new edge mod

its on the 2fast website

it's 2 dollars

[strange kettle]

💀 idk if that’s trustable man

[thick niche]

what you mean trustable lol

[wild grotto]

100% meshlap

[thick niche]

not the one i have, it's custom jbeamed body correctly, customed jbeamed suspensions, engines etc

[wild grotto]

hmm

[drowsy leaf]

2fast scumbags

[thick niche]

idt it's originally a 2fast mod

[drowsy leaf]

they dont have permission from ford right? its probably a ripped models too

[thick niche]

ofcourse it is lol

it's forza models

but its a 7/10 mod not to bad

what sucks is lucas lore mustang

is gonna be real nice, but not usable online so that kills it for me

at most i'll use the demo (free) version and modify it with my own parts to use on my drift servers

[strange kettle]

i mean the one you’re talking about is paid as well so idk man

[thick niche]

yes but the owner is no longer around and it's been out for about 2 years and already leaked on multiple sites

[modest turtle]

Hmm? Have you tried reinstalling the mods?

Or updating the mods since it might be broken?

[drowsy leaf]

then why is it paid

[drowsy leaf]

if all people in the online server own it theres no issues

[thick niche]

I agree with you, it shouldnt be paid.
I only got it because i wanted it

[dusty bobcat]

is there guy be name Carkiller who port Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 ? because long time ago we talk but now cant send messeges .. some people in my comunity ( NFS REBORN) told me i find here .. idk if i can Tag him

[dense tangle]

you can but he mightnt reply, try the official forums hes more active there

[nimble valley]

why wont it be usable online?

[thick niche]

because you can take mods from online servers without consequences

[nimble valley]

ah yes

[thick niche]

so if i loaded it into my online server, people could just go to the mp resources and take it

you can always throw in a empty zip

[nimble valley]

i never play online anymore

[timber arrow]

Can someone help me create an engine but with custom sounds?

I already have the mod, it grabs it and everything

But the engine does not appear, that is, it appears that it is selected but nothing appears.

[snow lotus]

does anyone know any good static car mods with cool wheels

[obtuse radish]

Well for example I have a vanilla car that does that and I have no mods installed for vehicle.

[latent ivy]

i feel like one of the greatest mods for beamng of all time would be a meter maid car skin for the pigeon

if i could i would 100% make a custom texture and hubcaps for the pigeon to look like this and it would make sense because that one is used in san francisco

[modest turtle]

oohhhhh

That's weird, I haven't seen that before

maybe did you delete a folder in your vehicles folder?

[latent ivy]

@abstract mango nice pfp

[timber arrow]

Can someone help me create an engine but with custom sounds?

[humble kindle]

That would be amazing

[obtuse radish]

I havent played beamng in a few months let alone messed with its files, but I will check.

[calm spoke]

Send invite

[strange kettle]

Have you tried what I asked you to do?

[strange kettle]

.

[obtuse radish]

Oh sure, I didnt see that.

It didn't work.

[strange kettle]

Hm

[strange kettle]

The only thing you could really do at this point is probably verify your files’ integrity or reinstall the game if that doesn’t help

[obtuse radish]

How can I verify my files?

And will reinstalling remove all my mods?

[toxic cedar]

No, you should clear out the folder manually.

[toxic cedar]

Go to steam and right-click the game. Find the "verify install" under game files, and wait for it to finish.

Names of buttons may vary.

[rich cargo]

Hello, does anyone have a cool BMW e46 mod?

[fierce spire]

there's no mod showcase here for the Gavril Durham?

[fierce spire]

I think it would be neat if the Durham had a fire upfit

[remote viper]

Weird question, is it normal that my mod update has not yet been approved after a whole month?

[gaunt wyvern]

Work of art

[barren magnet]

no, check your dms in case you received something from the approval team about something that needed changed

😭😭😭😭😭

[knotty tree]

[remote viper]

nop

nothing

Everything I tried ended up being ghosted, and idk why I just added a lil detail

And I don't even know how to fix this since there is no real way to get the devs' attention

[barren magnet]

what type of mod was it?

either way you’ll just have to get ahold of support on the forums

[remote viper]

Just a livery, I added another in the update, and boom, it's ghosted

[remote viper]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/atackos-ibishu-bx-custom-livery.30604/

[barren magnet]

well for one it’s got licensed branding on the white car

which isn’t allowed on the repo

[remote viper]

Those 2 liveries are the exact same

just different colors

[barren magnet]

that’s just the one i zoomed in on

but either way, you can’t have licensed branding on the repo

so it may have gotten noticed in the update

[remote viper]

I've seen countless mods with random brands liveries, the only mods that don't get approved are the ones with real cars

[barren magnet]

ive seen mods declined for branding before, its technically not allowed but things slip through

like i said

you’ll have to get ahold of support

what does the status say?

[barren magnet]

hm

[remote viper]

Where would that be? never used the forum that much

[barren magnet]

there’s the contact us section at the bottom, i thought there was a proper forums support thing but i’m not finding it

i’m at work rn so i cant really look very deep

[vale pier]

Can anyone help me with my other drag demon for some reason the PSI wont reach the 22 mark and only does 12.7 psi instead of 22 not only that but when my car goes from 0-60 it stops at 61 to 62 and I have to manually keep pushing the peddle for it to increase? sm1 help plz

[celest sundial]

the 0-60 being 0-62 is because it's actually 0-100kmh

which is 62.1mph

[gaunt wyvern]

What do you guys think?

[olive spire]

Is there anyway or any mod that lets you adjust the weight of a car

Besides agents one

[frank cove]

A few cars have adjustable ballast. Otherwise I usually use cargo boxes to add weight to my cars for different racing regulations that need it

It would be cool to see a mod with adjustable racing ballast as a seat part. Kinda like this

That way it’s also universal. I may have to look into making something like this

[alpine vine]

So I got full permission to revive a mod so now I gotta learn everything else..

Well at least now I have a reason to learn how to blender and etc 👍

[dapper olive]

I'm having an issue with the KLJP MK2 Pessima Zenith.

All trims spawn like this

[fathom thorn]

There’s a fix somewhere in #1116188221005647964 you’ll have to scroll up a while

[dapper olive]

Even manually equipping rims and tires don't help

[fathom thorn]

I think it was also posted on the beam forum thread, but I’m not 100% sure

[dapper olive]

I got the KLJP from the Forum

When was it posted?

[quasi hemlock]

guys, is a ".git" folder inside a mod zip normal? theres also the seperate vehicle folder of course. just never seen a ".git" folder when downloading mods before.

[thick niche]

modland?

[quasi hemlock]

yes, but not unpacked or anything yet, just checked whats inside before i do anything with it

[thick niche]

i wouldn't risk it

whats the mod?

[quasi hemlock]

its a hilux

cant find a quality hilux on forum

[thick niche]

i wouldn't risk it tbh

never ran into a "git" file before

[quasi hemlock]

yea me neither. deleted it now

[barren magnet]

you should avoid modland indefinitely, theres been trojans going around

i'm working on a s10 mod

but it's a loooooooooooooong way to go

the chevrolet?

[near osprey]

Which mod does this?

[thick niche]

https://tenor.com/view/forza-horizon4-gmc-syclone-drift-drifting-gmc-gif-27605458

[drowsy leaf]

thats something to do with being in a github repository probably

like when you open one in visual studio code it creates a .vs folder

theres no reason to use github for beamng mods so that sounds sus

[quasi hemlock]

yea very🙃

[barren magnet]

the i series glass textures changed, that mod likely uses them

you’ll need to change the texture of the glass, or wait for it to be updated

probably because it reuses like 80% of its “changes” from the k series

[sand shale]

can anyone help me with this

sim dashboard

[drowsy leaf]

yeah its not the highest quality thing

rwd pessima but botched

and his first car mod so like

[devout prism]

Hello! Does anyone use the RLS Career Overhaul Mod? I seem to be having an issue where no Dealerships have vehicles on sale, and I can only purchase the same 3 from the Start. Anyone an idea?

[barren magnet]

like even after buying your first car you only get those 3 options?

[devout prism]

Yes

[barren magnet]

have you done any missions yet

[devout prism]

Yes, multiple

[barren magnet]

hmm

[devout prism]

It is a brand new save with the mod too

[quick crow]

not entirely true tho. i sometimes use github to just have version control on my mods and it makes syncing between different pc's easier. When releasing the mod however you really should delete those files

[quick crow]

some mod that probably changes the glass. This just means that your current model for the glass doesn't have normals.

[quick crow]

shouldn't be too hard to make actually

[glass basalt]

(Not my photo) Can anyone tell me what wheels these are?

[barren magnet]

part of kljp i believe

one of the ibishu wheels that doesnt have a size

working on something rn otherwise i'd boot the game and tell you

[glass basalt]

I found em, thank you so much man, I've had the wonderbox mod for a long time and couldn't find these wheels, which are the reason I got the mod, so thank you man

wonderbox, i shouldve known that, node’s been helping me with a bunch of stuff recently lol

[glass basalt]

lmaoo it's all good, I could see them in his thumbnail, just had to find what mod it was, and I also had the older version without those wheels, so I got the latest version, still couldn't find them lol because I was looking for Z28 wheels, which is what they're called in the file lol

Shit had me confused

[sand crane]

I also play blade and sorcery, another game that like encourages community mods, and I think it'd be so cool to have something they implemented which is like a channel dedicated to just posting the latest mods or random ones from the official website

[wicked karma]

anyone possibly able to swap working mirrors from a mod that uses the same model and everything, but to an edit that has mirrors with the incorrect reflection? base mod is SN95(which covers the years 94 and 95) to the 99_04stang mod? 3d model for mirrors including one on the windshield are all the same just the version i use that has a proper straight axle unibody the mirrors are useless on.

i'm only familiar with editing assetto mods and thats as simple as changing values in a text document and dropping in extra files in the mod that correlate if need be.

[devout prism]

welp, RIP, my RLS career mod doesnt wanna work correctly 😦

[sick olive]

Should i play career mode with mods enabled? Do they mess at all with the game mechanics like car pricing?

[bronze shard]

most mods will be fine to use, some will have unbalanced prices but not many will be actually game breaking or anything

[lone snow]

idk if this the the correct channel for that question but here we go, i wanted to ask if anyone has some experience in mapping for this game, or could suggest a series of tutorials to learn the editor, i have like 200 hours of experience in source/source 2 and really want to revive Garfield Heights for this game but really dont know what im doing, someone could help out?

[digital shard]

does anyone have any advice on how to add an air compressor to an automation engine?

[torpid umbra]

Lookin for someone to Assist me in Jbeaming these cars! Swapping the tire models, getting interior stuff, New steering wheel, New bucket seat, Make the gear tunable, Final drive, American Racer as a tire option.
Most of the stuff is on base game cars besides the tires ofc they are from other mods (very much likely gonna be from the Late Model)
I CAN NOT PAY anyone to do this. This will all have to be free.

[glass roost]

Do you guys know what mods cause this?

(the exhaust explodes off the car when spawned)

[mossy frigate]

It could be every etki mod
The exhaust slot was moved to the engine and the lights got a new texture so a lot of mods broke

[glass roost]

you should learn to use pbr materials since thats the way the are done nowadays and theres not a lot of info on non pbr stuff

im trying to use the BeamLR mod its not working

[vivid shale]

never!!!!!!

materials v1 has a charm is just what I know how to use

no its just outdated mate

and the current game renderer makes them look worse than they did before

dude pbr materials are so easy

they are the industry standard and theres a lot of tutorials and explanations on how they work

I will not be switching out of stubbornness

I might switch later on

but not now

Is there any talk about whether we might get some European large vans for the game?

Merc Sprinters, Fiat Ducatos, Opel Movanos etc

Why aren’t mods being approved?

likely due to security concerns

Ddos happen or something?

whats your code currently?

[green summit]

Hi.
I think that there's a lack of a wide range of trucks in BeamNG with only one or two complete mods up to date. However, since the new T series update, possibilities are endless with new mechanisms.
I don't have any knowledge in modding but I love 3D modelling so I want to make a truck mod and learn modding for beam at the same time. I don't know if I'll achieve it and if yes it'll be very long. Do you think it would be better to have 60/70's truck with a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke engine or something newer like the international lonestar or the mack anthem for example?

[bronze shard]

older stuff will generally be simpler to do on the in-game side of things, less tech stuff to replicate. personally im fiending for a late 50s f500 type truck, on my long list of things to make

stick to the forums in that case, lots of paid mods are garbage but look good. this catches out a lot of new players

[thick niche]

^ generally most paid mods are just remeshed vanilla cars, which isn't entirely bad but charging money for them is a downside especially when most models are ripped from forza, assetto etc

get to your userfolder then drop the .rar or .zip into the mods folder, you can place it in mods or you can place it in mods/repo either or

Because it’s not happened to other people, yet

The fact you’re calling that out is a lot better than 80% of people who just get into modding beamng

[finite abyss]

I'm only calling out cuz idk how 🙃still not risking it tho

[obtuse radish]

Sorry for the late reply, but what do you mean?

[finite abyss]

@thick niche sorry to be a pain in the ass but now im on my user folder how do i like insert it

[finite abyss]

[finite abyss]

Im at ths stage

[thick niche]

thats your downloads

[finite abyss]

yeah

[thick niche]

you need to go to the beamng/mods folder

[finite abyss]

i have to click on the mod downloads no?

[thick niche]

no leave those alone, get to your mods folder first

[finite abyss]

alr

Like the mod section on beamng?

[thick niche]

open your beamng game

[finite abyss]

yep

[thick niche]

click on steam-beamng and show me the menu that pops up

[finite abyss]

its just turning on

Well loading

[thick niche]

the game won't start, it will bring up a menu first

[finite abyss]

Yeh that didnt happen im on the main screen

[thick niche]

not possible you must of hit play on that menu

[dense jungle]

Quit the game and re launch it but don’t press launch when the menu comes up

[finite abyss]

Alr

Sorry for the white, its light im takin pics of the screen cuz idk how to screenshot im new to laptop asw

[dense jungle]

Press windows + shift + to screenshot

But go to “manage user folder”

[finite abyss]

yep clicked on that

now what

[dense jungle]

Then “Open in Explorer”

[finite abyss]

Then that opens my files

[dense jungle]

Yep

Look for the mods one then drag and drop

[thick niche]

drag the downloaded car mods into that mods folder

[finite abyss]

I see the mods one

The 2 mods are in repo, is that the correct thing to do?

The bmw download things

[dense jungle]

Yes

[finite abyss]

now they are in repo what do i do

[thick niche]

start your beamng

[dense jungle]

Launch the game

[finite abyss]

alr

im on the like home screen, should i go into freeroam

[dense jungle]

Yeah and any map you want

I also hope you didn’t join that discord either

[thick niche]

grabber links

[finite abyss]

I didnt dw

[finite abyss]

Alr im in italy

[dense jungle]

Now just change to one of them

[finite abyss]

Errr

it aint there…

[thick niche]

make sure they are enabled by going to your mods section ingame

[finite abyss]

It aint even there…

[thick niche]

see the top 3 menus on there?

[finite abyss]

Yeh

[thick niche]

click the most left one

then show me

[finite abyss]

Mods manager yeah

[dense jungle]

Hes in it

[finite abyss]

Thats what i was on

[dense jungle]

Click “mods folder” on the right

It’s possible they might be in 1 folder up

[barren magnet]

dont put them in your repo folder

just drop them into the root mods folder

[finite abyss]

they r alr in my repo

ermm

[barren magnet]

then move them

also windows+shift+S allows you to take a screenshot and then you can ctrl+v paste to discord

so you dont have to take a photo with your phone

[finite abyss]

Alr ty

Err

they r sat in my downloads rn

[barren magnet]

but yeah, zipped mods go in your beamng/0.32/mods folder

[barren magnet]

yes you’ll need to move them

[finite abyss]

im on that

and it wont ss sorry i gotta use phone i tried windows shift s

[barren magnet]

you have to drag a selection

[barren magnet]

to take a full screenshot you can press the print screen button

yeah, open the mods folder

[dense jungle]

All at once?

[finite abyss]

look what i sent

[barren magnet]

drag your zipped mods into that folder

dont put them into repo, just into the mods folder

[finite abyss]

If i go onto downloads where they r then I can’t get onto my mods folder

[barren magnet]

right click the mods folder, open in new window

[dense jungle]

Press this + up here and go to your downloads folder from there

[barren magnet]

and then in the other one, go to your downloads folder

i forget win11 has tabs

that also works

[barren magnet]

dont open the mod, just drag the zip into the mods folder

this is where opening in a new window comes in handy

one window will be your downloads folder

[finite abyss]

alr

[barren magnet]

the other will be your mods folder

[dense jungle]

The other way is cutting and pasting it in the mods folder

[barren magnet]

you just drag the zip from your downloads folder, into the mods folder (but not into repo)

so your mods folder will look like
repo (folder)
mod1.zip
mod2.zip
mod3.zip

etc

[finite abyss]

Right

Ive opened 2 windows, my downloads and for some reasoj cant get onto beamng/0.32/mods from here

[dense jungle]

Is the game still open?

[finite abyss]

Yes

[dense jungle]

If so, go to the mod menu and click “open mods folder” agaim

[barren magnet]

just click the button that says open mod folder again

itll open it in its own window

[finite abyss]

Im on my mod folder and it says db.json and thats it

[barren magnet]

just drag them in there

[dense jungle]

Open the other window with the downloads and drag them in

[barren magnet]

if you havent subscribed to anything, you wont have a repo folder yet

so dont worry about that

[finite abyss]

i have but then i unsubscribed cuz they were plastic

Rigut i have both of them in my mod section now

[dense jungle]

Can you share a screenshot so we can confirm you have it in the right place

[dense jungle]

Looks good, now retry it this time

[finite abyss]

so go i to the game and it should be there?

[dense jungle]

Yes

[finite abyss]

im on mods manager and i dont see the 2 bmw

[dense jungle]

Post another screenshot

[finite abyss]

Hoping i dont end up doxxing myself

[dense jungle]

Of the mods folder

In the game i mean

Mod manager

[finite abyss]

It wont send cuz of slow something limits

Its sending now nvm

[dense jungle]

@barren magnet any ideas?

[barren magnet]

have you restarted the game

sometimes the mod manager doesnt update

[finite abyss]

Ill do that now

Alr i restarted and im on baseplate

ITS THERE IN THE MODS SECTION

OMG THANK U GUYS SO MUCH

[finite abyss]

Sorry for me being extremely slow with tech i think ive had a laptop for like under 2w now

I am so happy rn Tysm guys

alr later i will try and find some decent forum mods cuz now ik what im doing

[dense jungle]

Also a protip for the future

If you do find yourself on a 3rd party mod site, ask yourself “why has the modder posted here instead of the beamng forums”

[finite abyss]

yeh ik i wont use a third party site at all

Does this also work for assetto?

No wait u use content manager for that nvm

[dense jungle]

I can’t say since I’ve not played it let alone modded it

[finite abyss]

Yeah why would i ask in a beamng server

but anyway thankyou for the help

Final question

Can u link quest 2 to pc and play beamng vr

[dense jungle]

Speaking of 3rd party sites, the trusted ones so to speak are kofi and gumroad, that’s because they have paid mods there but some free ones, although they usually have a forum attached to them

[finite abyss]

Well link to laptop but same thing

[dense jungle]

I can’t say for sure, but it should be possible but may be limited by your laptop

[finite abyss]

maybe but if u could do bluetooth, or even wiring cuz it has a ton of usb ports on it

anyway

thankyou again🙏🏽

[dense jungle]

All I can say is try it but I can’t help you if it doesn’t work

[finite abyss]

yeh i can always find a tutorial

[latent ivy]

how do i get rid of this, deleted the mod but still here

[drowsy leaf]

remove the vehicle

[finite abyss]

That looks broken

[drowsy leaf]

the code is still loaded until you remove it

[latent ivy]

[drowsy leaf]

[latent ivy]

[dense jungle]

[drowsy leaf]
