[cobalt fern]

in your materials file you need to also make sure they are specified correctly/mapTo is the same name as the material in the dae

[kindred moth]

the one im trying to get goes alongs the lines of B1_tyre_f2

[kindred moth]

ill check it out

damn

thats civetta bolide material just with replaced text but the maps are the same

[kindred moth]

main.materials is the default paints that come with the car, apparently

[cobalt fern]

nothing about wheels in there?

[kindred moth]

im looking

i need to change my file viewer

notepad doesnt do it for me

hmmmmmm

[cobalt fern]

so diffuse color gives it a solid color iirc, does that camso dds exist in the car folder

[kindred moth]

let me look

idek what the tires are looking for

wheels*

thats the tire texture, another thing thats not translating

[cobalt fern]

youll wanna pop open blender and check what materials the wheel/tire uses and make sure the mapTo value is exactly matched with what you find in blender

[kindred moth]

gotcha

so each wheel export had its own main.mesh and material files, cause it exported as its own car. was it a bad idea to get rid of those?

stock tire mesh

dont see nothin

im gonna go get dinner, clear my head, and give myself some time to think about the project

thanks by the way @cobalt fern
youve been alot of help

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @cobalt fern (current: #360 - 4)

[cobalt fern]

any time

[cobalt fern]

when im happy with this i could probably do a couple cars on this chassis, i havent done any jbeam modifications yet though the wheelbase does need to be just a tiny bit shorter

all kinds of neat vehicles to pick from

[kindred moth]

with as low poly as it is, you could probably just convert the 3d model into the jbeam

[cobalt fern]

i could but then i'd need to update every other component to connect to it

i made a jbeam from scratch car and its a royal awful pain, definitely easier to adjust one of the vanilla cars as much as i hate to say

[kindred moth]

anyways im back at my pc now

i thiiiink ill check other things off the to-do list before i try adding new parts

things that im more capable of

[cobalt fern]

beamng really needs an updated tutorial car :V autobello kit car does not want to work for me either

[kindred moth]

but since im right here anyways ill ask, how exactly do i get this to appear

this is what ive got so far

[cobalt fern]

hit the checkered sphere

[cobalt fern]

that will bring up the list of materials that tyre uses

the one right above it

[kindred moth]

oof mb

gotcha

[kindred moth]

ill be mad if the root of my issues is cause i didnt use the materials.json thingy from the wheel exports

[cobalt fern]

hm thats weird, looks like its using the car paint?

you probably want to add whatever was in that materials.json to the one in your project

[kindred moth]

shouldnt be, cause in beam its got independant materials

[cobalt fern]

you can rename those materials but if they're already defined in materials.json you'll want to make sure references are updated to the new material name

[kindred moth]

but ill try

ill get to that in a second, i want to try and see what the extra wheels have binded for their stuffs

k so, its pulling an aluminum material and a custom image (both my doing in automation)

[cobalt fern]

getting your material names and mesh names simplified would probably also help

[kindred moth]

but i theorize that because it doesnt have the right materials file, it doesnt know what to pull from

[cobalt fern]

although you do need them to be unique so they don't overwrite a material from a different addon

add the contents of materials file B to materials file A and try to reload the vehicle ingame

[kindred moth]

yea gimme a minute

need to re-export to get the materials file

[kindred moth]

how do i go about this without completely making the JSON file shit itself

[cobalt fern]

id look up some basic json syntax but heres kind of a tldr for your specific case

json file a:

{
  "foo":5
}

json file b:

{
  "bar":10
}

to combine them youd select everything inside the main brackets of file b and paste to file a

{
  "foo":5,
  "bar":10
}

whereas the following will cause an error:

{
  "foo":5
}
{
  "bar":10
}```

[kindred moth]

k thankls

thanks

[cobalt fern]

basically just remove the brackets from the top and bottom of file b and copy the remaining stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFzFgwroRMc
and keep this video handy for while you're waiting for the cursor to scroll down the entire file to select the millions of lines of json

[kindred moth]

real

[kindred moth]

i have another plan

ill just export the wheels using the car im adding them to, so everything uses the same name by default

[pale magnet]

hey yall, i wanted to ask is there a mod of them map of gta v for beam ng?

[cobalt fern]

That sounds like quite a daunting task but I'm not gonna lie you could probably find a 3d model file you can just trim and convert in blender

[fathom thorn]

Someone ported some of it, I think it’s in a paid beta

[fierce spire]

i want to modify the MTL fire truck to add more lighting options

for example, the lighting on Kemro's emergency Wigeon

where do I start?

[tawdry ledge]

does anyone know any actual good car mods? wheather it adds anolog or real life cars, i just want more cars to mess around with but a lot of them seem really low quality

[fathom thorn]

Look in #1102973298222051358 and https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m6LWqKHIKGoYEheC4NhJqspYnE3TkMvgYClABfjYsbs/mobilebasic

[tawdry ledge]

thankyou

[fathom thorn]

The list is kinda outdated, several good car mods have been added since then, like the Arimas, or hirochi talent

[fierce spire]

i would like an answer

[barren magnet]

there’s a free version being worked on by someone in the modding for dummies discord, i dont recommend giving the person charging for it any time of day

considering charging for active rockstar property feels like a recipe for disaster

[fathom thorn]

True

[cold pewter]

Nice 08 prius is it

Whatever it is looks good meowbah

[distant hare]

is anyone else in love with the gaucho mod for the d series?

fits in there like a glove

[astral oracle]

anyone aware of any ui mods that display turbo temp?

[jagged hare]

who can help me with 3d modelling

[cold pewter]

a little bit of lights

[quick plover]

Lit up like a Christmas tree

[latent ivy]

Where can I get free models for a map. I would like some abandoned wooden and stone buildings that would be found in a poor country in south america.

[barren magnet]

check sketchfab or cgtrader, but you will have to pay attention to the licensing restrictions, as some can be used for certain things and not for others. and using them in some cases counts as a derivative work and some licenses dont allow for that

uploading them in a mod would likely count them as a derivative

[quick shale]

i need

[stoic sluice]

Does beamng support .mp2 sound files, i have all car engine sounds in .mp2

[kindred moth]

if you tell it to, it might

[stoic sluice]

Okay i will try to write it into sounds.sbeam

[proud stratus]

what are the best graphics realism mods for this game? ultra graphics just doesnt cut it for me lol

[barren magnet]

reshade and ck or zeit’s graphics mods

[fathom thorn]

Reshade or https://www.beamng.com/threads/ck-graphics-settings-mod-v2-3-1-for-beamng-0-31.87586/

way more possibilities with this one

[radiant olive]

I'm looking to mod beam.ng sometime I have a learn blender playlist with over 150 videos. Planning on making paid mods. I have no car or job, Im 17 so i cant drivealone legally till im 18 so im required to have a fully licenced passenger. is it worth it making paid mods in my current situation till I can afford a car?

[radiant olive]

I have a playlist dm me.

[drowsy leaf]

hahahah no

making a paid mod requires time

and years of experience

lucas had 4 years
lj had like 6
finn has 3
sc_shanto has 4 iirc

you have 0

[cyan drum]

I have 3

[drowsy leaf]

yeah but you havent made paid mods bitch

[cyan drum]

buggy half counts smh

[drowsy leaf]

i also have 3 but i havent done any paid mods

[drowsy leaf]

well then whatever old 1€ paid mods i made also count in that case

[cyan drum]

well yeah you had to pay for them

[drowsy leaf]

but they are not particularly good

[cyan drum]

paid is paid

[drowsy leaf]

im talking about quality paid mods

[cyan drum]

fair

[radiant olive]

So no then🤔

[cyan drum]

also gazelle counts but it's not out so it doesn't count (yet)

[drowsy leaf]

then yes

i counted finns avior

[radiant olive]

I heard someone made like 10K From a paid mod

[cyan drum]

sillhouette could count but it's indefinitely on hold

[drowsy leaf]

and more

[cyan drum]

yeah but barely anyone knows you

[radiant olive]

So far

I'm a quick learner lmao

[cyan drum]

yeah uh let me doubt about that specially given how complex modding actually is

[radiant olive]

I dont give up, and because I dont have school i can quite literally practice modding like 16 hrs a day or more

[cyan drum]

good luck dominating 3 or 4 programs in less than a year lol

[radiant olive]

Im ambitious but we will see lol I'm quite confident in my self for the first time in like 12 years

[cyan drum]

you underestimate how hard jbeam bugs can hit you

[radiant olive]

Doesn't hurt to try though right?

[cyan drum]

hugely

or modeling mechanicals

[radiant olive]

Everyone starts somewhere. I'll start making skins and liverys, then making parts then a car

[cyan drum]

or like beginning blender, not getting the results you want and give up

[drowsy leaf]

lucasbes picnic in kofi
1608 sold x 3.8€ = 6.110,4€
in gumroad assuming 1 in 4 people review products which is generous (barely anyone does)
2.156 sold x 3.8€ = 8.192,8
14.303,2€
thats assuming only 2.1k picnics were sold in gumroad, which is likely a lot less than the actual amount

[radiant olive]

Oh okay

[cyan drum]

also no fees or taxes considered here (assuming you didn't here anyways)

[drowsy leaf]

you know 2 years ago i opened a gumroad selling tuning parts and shit
the scnitlla was 1.2€ and all others were 1€ (jet bolide didnt have ramp yet)
you know how much i made
107€

[radiant olive]

My end game plan when everything works out is to make an suv with working touchscreen etc. I learn quick for example, learning how to drive from scratch took a week I learnt bc of beam.ng and actually passed the test and got my L's

[drowsy leaf]

these 4 mods in total probably took me like 3/4 months to make

[cyan drum]

driving on beam isn't hard
but I don't have a shifter for my setup yet so

[drowsy leaf]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH WORKING TOUCHSCREEN

are you off your rocker

you have to have a computer science degree to do that

[split vale]

I got high off that 🔥

[radiant olive]

No I'm off my camshaft

[drowsy leaf]

theres a reason i have taken 3 years to make a scratch car mod that i havent canceled and that isnt complete shit
its HARD very much indeed

[cyan drum]

requirements to do screen:
be zeit

[drowsy leaf]

also you have to factor in that the celica is a 90s car which is miles simpler than anything modern

[radiant olive]

But I'm pretty confident ill be a good modder
We will see though. Everything takes time. You don't learn instantaneously

[solid rapids]

its not a bad thing that you want to start, but i think you are being way too ambitious, and going into it with the idea that you’re going to make enough money to afford a car within a year probably isnt the best

[cyan drum]

this

[drowsy leaf]

first off you are way too ambitious
you also want to make paid mods, which is like not the idea of beamng modding, you do it because you like it not to make money

like just get a job

[cyan drum]

if you only do it for money motivation's going to leave pretty quickly

[radiant olive]

I know I won't afford it in a year, and secondly in talking about making the touchscreen 4 years from now lmao

[drowsy leaf]

not even 4 years

[radiant olive]

Did the math nearest shop is 20 min walk. Get paid like $3 an hour pretty sure that's like 10K a year I forgot the math

[drowsy leaf]

even if lucas made 20k off the picnic its still took him 3+ years of learning how to mod + the 4-6 months he spent on it
its not worth it trust me

[split vale]

Should go into modding having a open mindset with a grand imagination, not a $$$ mindset and a way to get paid thats all long term and not everyone really understands how hard it is to stay consistent or even continue with a single project without getting burnt out too, Idk always start slow 🤷‍♂️

[radiant olive]

I'm looking forward to modding it will be fun

[drowsy leaf]

get a bike
3€ an hour is way too low idk where you live

[solid rapids]

i dont think there is a whole lot that actually transfers from beam to what you need to be able to do a real life driving exam

[drowsy leaf]

yeah no i wouldnt say so

[radiant olive]

Dogs pissed on the chain it got rusted and the chain got locked up

[drowsy leaf]

cut the chain

[radiant olive]

But again we will see I can't learn everything at once. I know it will take a while

[radiant olive]

Threw the bike out years ago

[solid rapids]

do you live in zanzibar

[radiant olive]

Australia

[drowsy leaf]

having driven with a fairly basic but good sim rig i can say that beamng is not the most realistic thing
specially when it comes to clutch management which from what ive been told is a pretty hard part of driving

in beam you can just start the car and drop the cluch and the car wont completly stall

[solid rapids]

what job in australia can you get that pays $3 an hour

[drowsy leaf]

buy one? its not like they are expensive

[radiant olive]

I've had like 5 lessons and the instructor said I did good for my first time. Driving is easy lmao. I've been on main roads up to 80kph etc lmao

[solid rapids]

aus isnt exactly a poor country

[radiant olive]

Lemme 💩 out money rq

[drowsy leaf]

did you drive manual or auto

[cyan drum]

also most people have entry level wheels like the logitech g ones so even worse lol

[drowsy leaf]

borrowing exists
if you want to get a job, you can borrow money from someone then pay them back

then like do you not have things you can sell or trad

[cyan drum]

also don't beam cars have lower steering ratio than your average normal car irl

[radiant olive]

Auto wanted manual. But because im autistic they said that I need a dual control vehicle. It's actually illegal for autistic people to drive in Queensland without a special permit.

[drowsy leaf]

ok auto is another whole story

[radiant olive]

I know

[drowsy leaf]

thats much easier

[radiant olive]

I know lol

[cyan drum]

clutch is the hard part of driving isn't it

[solid rapids]

you go mostly by what you feel on your butt when learning how to use the clutch, thats not something you get unless you have like a full motion rig

[drowsy leaf]

not stalling your car is like the difficuly

[cyan drum]

like on uphills and such

[drowsy leaf]

specially on uphills yes

[solid rapids]

sure the clutch and drivetrain simulation is realistic but you get no feedback

[radiant olive]

stalled ingame probably like 4 times in the past 1400 hrs even with all assists off. I know how to drive a manual but never driven In Real Life. I know "its different" before yoy say anything lol

[drowsy leaf]

reason why most learners are diesel is because torq = less stall

[cyan drum]

not stalling in game is like easiest

[drowsy leaf]

yeah thats the problem

beamng cars never stall

[cold pewter]

new arima model leak

[cyan drum]

arima celestia :trol:

[drowsy leaf]

better flowing desing than 7th gen

[cyan drum]

true

[radiant olive]

I didn't even know how to drive properly when I first started I had like 500 hrs on grand turismo years before I installed beam.ng

[split vale]

Manual in any video game will NEVER be the same as driving a stick shift in real life, IRL every manual transmission has a deadzone like your video game except thats called the "bite point" this is where the clutch engages at, And every transmission is also different, Depending on the weight of the flywheel to the clutch etc.. So Id never compare driving mechanics to irl imo.

[cold pewter]

arima prima 🔥

[drowsy leaf]

its not very realistic that you can just put it in 1st and crank the starter and it just magically moves and doesnt stall or make the starter motor fucking explode

[cold pewter]

it rhymes wtf

[radiant olive]

I learnt how to drive in beam.ng where I basically passed my test

[cyan drum]

when I began using a wheel on beam the only thing I had to actually get used to is to using the wheel lol

[solid rapids]

you can definitely do that irl

[radiant olive]

I know the biting Point heel toe, rev matching etc, I've been researching cars for like 7 years or more lol

[solid rapids]

ive done that multiple times on accident

car will move and be just fine

[drowsy leaf]

limited amount of times trol

[radiant olive]

I know how to. Not saying I can just saying I know

[cyan drum]

I cannot downshift without heel toe because I'm too used to it

[solid rapids]

well yes you dont want to keep holding it

[cyan drum]

heel toe is easy

[drowsy leaf]

do it enough times and your starter runs out of juice

and fucking explodes

[solid rapids]

but itll lurch forward a lot im sure if you kept it up its just move slowly

[cyan drum]

((on beam ofc))

[solid rapids]

yes it’d probably overheat and explode if you did it for more than a few seconds

[drowsy leaf]

anyways making paid beam mods is like the worst financial desicion ever

[cyan drum]

decision

[drowsy leaf]

unless you want to be a patreon scammer which then it is a good buisness

[cyan drum]

at the cost of good rep

[drowsy leaf]

remember we are talking about neonized

[radiant olive]

I'm not new to cars, I know how an engine works almost everything. Crank shaft pistons. Camshaft valves oil gallerys coolant etc. I know how to drive manual biting point rev matching etc, i know how to do all this just never got the chance to try it In Real Life.

[cyan drum]

right

[drowsy leaf]

theory isnt practice

trust me i build computers and its not as easy as i thought

and OW god how fucking painful using linux or any software thats non user friendly is even if it seems like it isnt

[radiant olive]

Bruh I'm trying to clear my rep I haven't minimodded in like 6 months or more. And I'll be making private mods until they are good quality. I never said that I would scam people.

[drowsy leaf]

and yeah i might have been researching the entirety of a celica but i still know nothing if i ever needed to repair one

[cyan drum]

same except not a celica

[drowsy leaf]

youd have a lot of fun with vacum lines on a camaro

[cyan drum]

because most of engine knowledge like crankshaft and whatever else is inside an engine doesn't really matter in beam

[radiant olive]

In Real Life it does.

[drowsy leaf]

old murican car has like a gazillion vaccum lines

forget one and engine will run on 1 cylinder

[cyan drum]

yeah but I'm talking about beam

[cyan drum]

wtf is a vacuum line 💀

[drowsy leaf]

them tubes that go from the intake manifold to the valve cover for example

thats vaccum line

still got no clue what it really does

[cyan drum]

ah so gazelle_engbaycrap :trol:

[drowsy leaf]

i think its some sort of pressure relief for the inside of the block

[radiant olive]

Imagine in years if i make an animated engine for beam, like moving pistons camshaft etc 💀

"Bye bye pc"

[drowsy leaf]

why some tuner cars have those tiny ahh filters on the valvecover

[cyan drum]

I don't think it's even possible to only animate it with props

[drowsy leaf]

with the current props system its not possible but yeah it can be done

[cyan drum]

good luck making it realistic though

with actual mass and whatever else

[drowsy leaf]

only problem is that the prop movements can not use any easing so its just linear movement

[radiant olive]

But yeah, I'll start with liverys etc. Then parts like bumpers lights etc. Start editing mods in private and not upload it to get a feel of editing cars. Then make my own car

[drowsy leaf]

which makes everything not work properly

[cyan drum]

and jbeaming it would take an insane amount of time

[drowsy leaf]

but theoredically you can just make a hollow block and animate with props using rpm all the pistnos and shit

[drowsy leaf]

no you could just use props using the cube of engine jbeam

[cyan drum]

:h_:

[radiant olive]

https://tenor.com/view/dejavu-engine-car-engine-mechanic-truend-gif-10490303

[drowsy leaf]

but youd need the elastic movements that i mentioned

[radiant olive]

Like this

😂

[drowsy leaf]

yeah

i mean ive already seen camshafts and camgears that move

[radiant olive]

Nice

[cyan drum]

don't camshafts just rotate anyways

props already do that

[drowsy leaf]

only real problem is the connecting rod

[radiant olive]

Yeah because they hit the valves lmao and open them

[solid rapids]

vacuum lines usually actuate something with the vacuum

[radiant olive]

Then that connects to a belt and goes to the crankshaft

I think

[cyan drum]

wtf is this a new one

<@&710084482031550547>

[solid rapids]

something that goes from the intake to the valve cover is more likely some rando vent tube

[radiant olive]

Here. I disabled embeds. Here's a playlist on how an engine works in detail. And cars etc.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjc73MDycFnktrVn6Ra759ZawpiyW4NB-&si=LOB3RasYGhtW9rM8

[solid rapids]

well if its like pcv its a vaccum line probably pulling vaccum power from the intake

[radiant olive]

Down to oil galleries etc

[drowsy leaf]

pistons can also be simulated since its linear up and down movement
valves dont move much soo you could just use linear movemnts
crank and camshafts are just rotation
so are all other pulleys
you can animate belts with html and lua
only thing that wouldnt work are connecting rods since those are rotation and movement, but the movement can only be linear which makes it not work properly

[cyan drum]

(you'll end up copypasting vanilla engines and modifying them slightly)

[drowsy leaf]

yeah no im 90% sure that the intake manifold to valve cover vaccum line is just pressure equalizer
which might explain why tuned cars with turbo just stuck a little filter on it since the intake manifold pressure would be more than one atmosphere

[radiant olive]

Here's what's in the playlist, like 60 videos or more. The 2nd and 3rd describe how a car works down to specifics like valves oil gallery's how coolant passes through etc

[solid rapids]

probably then

[radiant olive]

I'll start modding with liverys though

[drowsy leaf]

well then what are you waiting for

[radiant olive]

My keyboard to stop flickering and spamming letters

Alot of people have the issue with logitech keyboards

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well and my monitor is developing dead lines of pixels by the hour

[solid rapids]

people model on trackpads, no excuses

[cyan drum]

imagine buying logitech keyboards

[drowsy leaf]

yeah that too

[cyan drum]

I used to do that when my 5 dolar mouse broke after 6 months

[solid rapids]

pain

[radiant olive]

It's a $200 one logitech g213. I'll have to use on screen keyboard

[cyan drum]

jfc 💀

200usd for a logi keyboard is insane

[radiant olive]

Aud

[drowsy leaf]

200€ keyboard scam

[solid rapids]

just buy $15 office keeb

[radiant olive]

Not usd

[solid rapids]

$200 aud is like 20 euro

[cyan drum]

I don't understand upside down dollars

[radiant olive]

I gave my old keyboard to my dad

[solid rapids]

basically like dollar if it was half the value

[drowsy leaf]

its still 130$ / 120€

[radiant olive]

I'll just throw my keyboard into liquid nitrogen should clean it

Then magma

Then acid

[cyan drum]

:h_:

[drowsy leaf]

my keyboard was 60€
its mechanical and it feels nice
has been going strong for 2 years

@cyan drum you owe me 20 bolivars

[cyan drum]

huh

[radiant olive]

I can just use my stream lmao

Hotkey A B C etc

[drowsy leaf]

why the fuck do you have a stream deck

[cyan drum]

my keyboard uh
yeah it's a laptop it doesn't really matter lol

[drowsy leaf]

literal waste of money

[radiant olive]

Convenience

[cyan drum]

aren't stream decks like horribly expensive

[radiant olive]

Obs streamlabs recording controls etc

[radiant olive]

Christmas present

[drowsy leaf]

dude just fucking buy another keyboard and remap it

[solid rapids]

ask for a bike next christmas

[radiant olive]

Streamdeck can be a keyboard 🧌

[cyan drum]

or for a car :trol:

[drowsy leaf]

ive been meaning to find a usless office keyboard and chop off its numpad since mine doesnt have one

literal free steam deck

[cyan drum]

my laptop's numpad is awful to use because it's stupidly cramped for no reason

[drowsy leaf]

numpad keyboard
paint over markings
use sofware to reprogram it
free stream deck

[radiant olive]

I'll take a video of the hot keys on the stream. I'll be voicing over it.

Mock my voice and I'll fly a 737 into your house

[drowsy leaf]

stream?

[solid rapids]

sure

[cyan drum]

that 737 will break before reaching here but sure

[radiant olive]

Steam deck

[drowsy leaf]

do you even stream

[radiant olive]

Mo

[solid rapids]

just sell the stream deck for fiddy buc and buy a keeb

ez

[cyan drum]

fr

[drowsy leaf]

nono
sel stream deck and buy a bike

[cold pewter]

sel pc and buy bike

@drowsy leaf do I add another clamp where the pipe meets the intercooler or does that look acceptable?

[drowsy leaf]

this is what i was mentioning before about not being able to properly simulate engine internals
@radiant olive @cyan drum @solid rapids
since the interpolation is linear it is not smooth and looks off

[drowsy leaf]

i would add one

[solid rapids]

probably still passable at like actual engine speeds tho lol

[drowsy leaf]

here it works properly (apart from it being a loop so the first and last movement since its a loop)

[drowsy leaf]

yeah prolly

why would you tho anyway

Eh, I love it, Its supposed to look crazy, Thats what im going for.

[solid rapids]

even like rear mount turbos are a thing on builds where space is limited
they arent really any more laggy

the concern is the energy of the exhaust gas being lost because it gets to cool down more

[cobalt fern]

👉🏻 👈🏻 sometimes i get a little sleepy and want to take a nap before the turbo kicks in

[polar zodiac]

I have a question

why doesn't beamng have any original aircraft?

[cold pewter]

why would it need aircraft for

[solid rapids]

probably because the focus is on land vehicles its kinda called beamng.drive

[polar zodiac]

just for fun or you know something that could make things more interesting

I see mods for planes but nothing original from beamng

[cold pewter]

they're insanely hard to make so its not easy at all

[polar zodiac]

maybe something like a "Ibishu Pelican

[polar zodiac]

yeah I guess

cars are already really complicated

[polar zodiac]

well what about boats?

not as complicated but making them float properly would be

[brazen cypress]

How do i make my suspension lower than the lowest settings

[latent ivy]

Ok. Sketchfab I found one model but I will look at cgtrader

[rough iris]

Go-to option is copying the race struts / springs and changing the values for the sliders. However you might run into a hard suspension travel limit.

[brazen cypress]

I want it on the ground lol, also when i use independent suspension the front wheels break off only with 8lug

[rough iris]

You can also just offset the hubs upwards

Not as realistic but works

Basically portal axles but upside down

Other option is to make a whole new frame that has the suspension placed higher up for maximum realism

[brazen cypress]

I cant make a new frame, its a mod car so idk if i can edit the actual car but i believe i can the suspension

Also my rear wheel if verry far back and i cant move it forward

[rough iris]

But it is weird that only the 8 lug wheels fall off, maybe it has something to do with the track widh

[brazen cypress]

Well its only with independent suspension

If i do offroad its fine

[rough iris]

Maybe due to suspension geometry making the wheel go back of you lower it?

[brazen cypress]

Rn it looks like south Carolina

This is the only way i can get it to work with 8lug

I hate looking at this on my screen

[rough iris]

If it has 3-link suspension in the back, you could copy over the link lenght adjust from the d-series' front 3-link suspension

[brazen cypress]

It is 3link

Idk how to do that though and even then the hight difference is like mt Everest to the Mariana trench

Do you think you or someone could like guide me how to fix this suspension lol

[brazen cypress]

Idk how

Im going for the hight to be where you can feel every bump like this lol idk why but i want it

[brazen cypress]

Ive got it lower/level but not as much as i want also rear wheels have no camer and are verry far back

[humble kindle]

This is the exact year and color as our car

Hello, is anyone willing to help fix/make a proper AI mod for beamng? I am absolutely willing to pay. I've attempted this with someone else before and we had a functional system, but it broke somewhere down the line with an update. I know it is a big process, but it might be worth a try, even if it's just fixing the already existing code.

Send me a message or something and we can discuss the process, im no proper coder so i only understand the basics and how we got the old version of the AI to work.

Our mod was basically complete at the time for what we wanted, but it just broke with an update from beamng.

(With basically complete, i mean we got the AI to race eachother and actually overtake by switching between decalroads, based on gaps between eachother, leading to cars which god close to eachother moving out of the way to try to make a move. We also had a results system and such)

Considering the stock AI has basically no awareness this was the best solution we could come up with for just modifying the base AI to get proper overtaking.

I have to assume it broke due to how the game changed with handling scenarios

For reference, this is what shows up in the log.

Could also absolutely be due to how the game has changed the handling with nodes, as i remember that experimental app no longer existing. So maybe it's worth looking into using waypoints instead of nodes? Problem is, the cars dont even spawn in.

https://www.beamng.com/threads/delorean-dmc-12-81-83.75101/

[brazen gale]

tyyyy your the best

now my other question is there any back to the future delorean??? let me search on google

[cyan drum]

nope

the only one that exists isn't worth downloading because it sucks ass, terrible proportions and terrible modeling work mechanics and interior wise

[brazen gale]

thank you.. i found it and yeah the photos look bad

[brazen gale]

also do i need to put the mod folders zipped or extracted

[cyan drum]

zipped

don't unpack mods unless you're a modder/modifying the mod

[brazen gale]

alr thank you

[sharp granite]

why are mod posts suspended?

[cyan drum]

technical reasons

likely to be with the recent virus stuff

[abstract mango]

Huh

People managed to smuggle viruses into repo mods?

[cyan drum]

not repo mods

modland mods

but they used beamng to exploit a security breach

[fallow wave]

Dang, hope it can be resolved eventually

[drowsy leaf]

No but they probably tried so until everything is under control they don't want to risk it
Either that or there's some technical stuff on how the repo works being changed since it's been mentioned that the backend sucks sdd

[dark shore]

i have a question, may i download mods from other versions and use them in the newest one?
please tell me i can ill do whatever

[toxic cedar]

What..?

You can use old mods, but they may not work.

[junior plume]

i was having Jbeam issues, asked chatgpt and it fixed it for me lmao

[autumn beacon]

lol

[regal dome]

hey does anyone know where I can get some las vegas metro police skins for maxies vic and some gavril cars?

[latent ivy]

@thick niche so I figured it out
when you set up your prefabs, and in world editor, you select them all and click "pack as prefab"
and say you added something new so you need to unpack and repack
you wont receive a save prefab file dialog, it saves automatically afterwards.
next where to save it:
it will give you the default userdata folder which is
%localappdata%\BeamNG.Drive\0.32\
you need to create the folder levels and inside that is the name of the map (check zip file, so should be like levels > west_coast_usa)

when loading it in
open World Editor (F11) > Windows > Asset Browser > you should see your filename with the *.json extension
right click on the prefab > Spawn prefab at origin
and thats it

[thick niche]

now does that prefab able to be spawned in any track after saving

[latent ivy]

I think you can use the spawn prefab at camera if you plan to bring it elsewhere

[latent ivy]

is it possible to make custom races?

[proven shore]

In the evening it is possible to create a mod that covers the brand of the cars, ideally a mod that works on all cars

[thick niche]

what uh, mod is this?

[dense tangle]

modland 99%

bc of that stupid starry roof

[olive spire]

not really I mean the only way that I think you could do. It is make a brand cover for each individual car.

[olive spire]

It’s a paid mod I don’t know if he paid for it though

[noble venture]

Does anyone have the GMT800 d-series mod ?

[cold pewter]

a few sillies of the prius

[bold kindle]

3 weeks without new mods the technical issue is really big i guess

[buoyant magnet]

just dont download them
they might not be viruses but i can assure you that if they arent from the official beamng forums they are either reuploads from the official forums/repo or they just look good and crash/deform and drive like ass

yeah those are all meh

look at the horrible shading on the panelgaps

dude just dont download them
they are all modified etk800s

basically you take the phisics of the etk800, modify it (most times badly) and put a forza model which is not compatible with beam models, so it drives like a etk800 and crashes worse since the model sucks

same thing even worse

asseto corsa models generally are 1-2 million polygons
most beamng vanilla cars, with tuning and extra parts, full interior, underbody, enginebay and everything else are like 200k polygons

also the aries charger is complete garbage especially

also ew no hesi

[cyan drum]

no hesi mods are known for being awful in assetto corsa so you might imagine their quality in beamng

given beamng modding is like 1000x more complex

[drowsy leaf]

i dont know

just dont fucking use them

since the viruses can be in .lua files which most mods contain

[cyan drum]

drive the bastion ez

keep driving it

[drowsy leaf]

yeha the charger is either gonna be a badly modified etk800 or a bastion with charger 3d model

i do love me some exorion etk800 jbeam @cyan drum

[cyan drum]

fr

[drowsy leaf]

yeah aries is an asshole

scammer + i think hes doxxed a few people

[fathom thorn]

True

[barren magnet]

they're likely trying to patch the vulnerabilities that have come up recently

[drowsy leaf]

or implementing new repo / forums software since from what ive heard the forum backend sucks complete ass

[barren magnet]

i can only hope

[wheat storm]

is there a mod out there that adds mud to cars when you drive through it?

[barren magnet]

no

[late badger]

Who has a good Toyota MR2 mod

[latent ivy]

Is it possible to make races

[cold pewter]

tried making a beater but it kinda looks too clean to be one

[misty onyx]

deflate the tires

also its too shiny, add some dust or mud

even rust

[dense jungle]

The quality will vary, but they will be safe to download at the very least

As for searching use google but do site:beamng.com bmw/mercedes/whatever one you’re looking for

[grizzled walrus]

second gen prius my beloved❤️

looks awesome btw

[drowsy leaf]

the normalmap for the doors has a very noticable tiling, the tires have air and arent mismatched, the bumper has not half fallen off

and theres no dirt around the wheel wells

kemenation mods is one of the most shameless scammers lol

pumps out a fuckton of mods, never updates them and they are never good to begin with

[noble saffron]

i downloaded like 15 car mods but only 3 came

why does it come like that??/

[neon magnet]

where did u dl from

[noble saffron]

from modland and discord

[drowsy leaf]

great

[dense jungle]

That’s why

[drowsy leaf]

theres a reason its heavily recomended to NOT download from discord and modland

[noble saffron]

oops

soo where do i get it from??

[dense jungle]

The repo and forums

Links are in #mods-faq

[noble saffron]

thank youuuuu

is there anyother websites??

[drowsy leaf]

no

[dense jungle]

Gumroad and kofi but usually they’re for paid mods and will have a forum post attached

[neon magnet]

^

[noble saffron]

where can i get like real life cars?

[dense jungle]

The forums

Although the quantity is severely limited but it’s enough

[glass heath]

Does anyone know what happened to the Ronson Valley mod? Looks as though its been removed entirely

[dense jungle]

Or be safe and dont use modland at all

[thick niche]

i downloaded this, it's not that great just a fyi

most of them are terrible meshslaps

[thick niche]

yes and im not sure they was junk and i removed them already

[frank cove]

When making a map, should I copy a dae if I want to change its texture from vanilla?

IE I want to change the Utah Red rocks into gray scale, should I duplicate the dae or is it fine to overwrite the texture? (lod color and stuff isn't that important it'll be in a cave)

[cold pewter]

don’t worry I’m working on the bumper so it leans on one side lol

[thick niche]

dude i told you they are junk, not worth downloading

download em if you want

then try them.

[sharp turret]

btw i have quenched my need for a shitty car mod, the Satsuma is perfect. Barely works, i need to crank it for 10 seconds and everything is rusty. Approved.

[olive trellis]

question, i been wanting to do ai demo derbys, how can i get started with this on mods side of things?

[sharp turret]

i dont do derbys, but maybe the mechanical failures mod would be good to simulate worn down cars?

[olive trellis]

ok, ima also looking for a way to set the ai to go after random people on not just me

[warped rampart]

I can't get beammp to work

the launcher won't connect

[pallid lynx]

Reinstall

[pallid lynx]

Or it could be firewall settings

[warped rampart]

I reinstalled

I checked firewall settings

Nothing is working

tf am I supposed to do now

[barren magnet]

try the beamMP server

[latent ivy]

Is it possible to create custom races in Beam?

[strange kettle]

Yeah, it is possible if you made a custom scenario.
Don’t ask me how to do that though because I sadly have no idea.. But there should be documentation on it somewhere

[latent ivy]

Perfect

Anybody know someone doing mod commissions?

[barren magnet]

nobody, costs too much

[lunar bough]

anyone know of a modern pickup mod for this game? i feel like thats the only thing its missing.

[radiant olive]

Whats the slowest car or modded car? Cherrier picnic?

[fathom thorn]

You can mod cars to barely move
Slowest ingame is probably the stambecco

[radiant olive]

Watch me outrun the police AI In it.

[fathom thorn]

It has to be a 6x6 gasoline model

[terse blaze]

wait a second, who added dirt to my covet

[terse blaze]

too bad i did a ton of work and now i can add dirt to any livery (mostly, theres some edge cases)

[sharp turret]

nice

[terse blaze]

like, its fully dynamic too, im planning to add mud effects too and have it all linked to the ground models you drive over and such

[sharp turret]

wow! Impressive

[terse blaze]

we've all seen that fake "dynamic mud" mod but its gonna be real soon :D

[radiant olive]

No I literally about manoeuvred a cherrier picnic car in a hirochi rush on gridmqp and didn't exceed 60kph deliberately

[bronze shard]

is it possible to wash off with water? i would assume technically yes in some capacity, even if it isnt implemented yet

[terse blaze]

yeah 100%, rn obv its not implemented yet and neither is the actual build up while driving, but ive got all the technical bits figured out now and it can all update on the fly

[bronze shard]

hell yeah

[terse blaze]

the hardest part to solve was how to position the mud on the car, because when rendering to the UV map, you dont know where in 3d space you are. but i ended up rendering a little texture where the RGB channels encode positional data in 0-1 range, so i can basically apply a shader-like technique and badabing badaboom some magic bits later, we can put mud and stuff like that on the car and know where we are putting it

[sharp turret]

https://tenor.com/view/noice-nice-click-gif-8843762

[terse blaze]

i can just put it wherever i want lol

the roof one obv looks a bit bad BUT its all wip lol, im a programmer, not an artist :3

i also figured out a while ago how i can put something on the windshield and have it wipe away with fake wipers, so maybe ill add that too (along with mud on the windows)

[sharp turret]

wipers would be nice

[terse blaze]

ye 100%

[sharp turret]

oh and a car wash would be funny, dont know if thats possible

also, would it be possible to make a thing where if it rains the dirt appears differently?

[terse blaze]

would be very funny but i dont want to think about that right now. i want the mod to be purely just dirt build-up and have it be as generic as possible. maybe i can make it so you can set up water zones or something to clean the car or ill do something else for cleaning the car, and ill let others build working car washes for this mod lol

yes

[crisp tangle]

Oh my god dude that’s awesome!

[terse blaze]

thanks !!!

[green stream]

Will there be compatibility to add this to our own vehicles?

[terse blaze]

yes, it should be pretty easy but once the time comes around for a release, ill write up a little how-to

[misty onyx]

the thing we want
