[misty onyx]

but never got from the devs

[mellow lichen]

Could you explain to me why this happens to me with the kljp mod or something like that and how to fix it?

[brazen cypress]

can someone help me, i have these seats but idk how to get them into the game, i want them to replace the race seats

[strange kettle]

There’s a fix somewhere in the showcase-your-mods KLJP thread

i think

[radiant olive]

Theoretically if you needed a test driver for your mod, would it matter how good they are? Even if anyone barely knows them?

[brazen cypress]

wouldnt matter

[drowsy leaf]

If they aren't known they have no reputation to lose if they leak whatever you do, I doubt that would be the actual case but yeah keep that in mind

[dense jungle]

You need to consider 2 things, trust and reliability

First one for not leaking it

Second for giving you good feedback instead of something like “good”

[radiant olive]

How to get trust theoretically?

And I'm not talking about feedback wise, talking about a driver who can make your car look good, example doing crazy stunts escaping from cops like 360' and stuff and similar things. Aswell as photos

I could send videos of my work in #beamng-videos and ping you guys when it's all in one video and you all can analyse if I'm even worth a modders time

I'm bad at explaining things so that's why I couldn't give feedback

[vocal cobalt]

Stunts are like, nowhere near useful in a mod development lmao

[barren magnet]

testers need to be able to give good feedback on technical aspects of a mod

modders need handling/function criticism so that the mod can be improved before release

not just photos and videos

[radiant olive]

I could try but I don't know how I could compare it, for example If im testing the avior because I dont own a lexus ls400 I cant explain what needs work

[barren magnet]

real world experience helps a ton

its not even just basing it off a real life vehicle

[vocal cobalt]

Testers are there to provide feedbacks on bugs, like idk, missing meshes or bad physics, taking pics and videos is nice, but isn't the point of testers

[radiant olive]

Ohh alr

I would ask to try but no body trusts me, so I Dont Know how I could start lol

[barren magnet]

every time ive been offered testing access i have not asked for it

scratch that

altair i did ask for it so i could helo with suspension

[vocal cobalt]

You don't ask for mods, you get them given

[radiant olive]

I have a bad rep bc of minimodding 6+ months ago so I'm mostly hated here lmao

Ohh okay cool, so ill wait👍

[thick niche]

all ur mods r belong 2 me

[heavy matrix]

Im so hyped, after like 8 years of owning beamng and never successfully making a “mod” I finally figured it out I think. Didn’t do anything crazy but made a stage 1 and 2 performance engine block, racing ecu, racing intake and side pipes for the d series inline 6

[radiant olive]

Nice😄

[heavy matrix]

I randomly decided to try making it at 1am and now it’s almost 7am lol

And Ty

[whole flint]

anyone know any good free classic car mods?

[eternal escarp]

How to add "sleep" to my mod script?

[craggy bronze]

does anyone here know a good ferrari f2004 mod?

paid/free

[drowsy leaf]

whats an f2004

[craggy bronze]

2004 v10 formula 1 car

cant find any accurate one

[drowsy leaf]

yeah that doesnt exist

[drowsy leaf]

i mean the mod doesnt exist

or a good one at that

[craggy bronze]

not on the repo but i thought there could be maybe a paid one or just external to it

[craggy bronze]

yeah.. i thought about downloading an automation one and modifying the parameters

[drowsy leaf]

automation ones suck

the fr17 or lucases formula4 is probably closer than an automation replica

[craggy bronze]

the fr17 is kind of scuffed, ive been using the fr16

like the way it handles on a steering wheel more

[bleak orbit]

what's the closest high quality mod to a GLC300

[craggy bronze]

a lot more feedback

[bleak orbit]

to phrase it better, the closest thing to a glc300

that's good quality, or a glc300 itself bit I haven't found one

[drowsy leaf]

the etk 1300

the fix on the forums

[bleak orbit]

need sth a little smaller I think

I meant the coupe glc not the suv

[drowsy leaf]

etk800 coupe

[bleak orbit]

bet

thanks

[drowsy leaf]

but thats just a normal coupe not one of those weird suv coupe things

[nimble valley]

[runic gyro]

hi i am new

[rose pulsar]

AHHH

ME TOO

[bleak orbit]

when downloading a mod the destination should be
mods -> vehicles -> (car names)

right?

or does this work?

[barren magnet]

if that’s your userfolder, thats correct

[bleak orbit]

also which one do i download from these im confused

[barren magnet]

none of those

dont download modland garbage

theres actual risk of viruses now too

[bleak orbit]

these are all from modland

ill delete them if its unsafe

[barren magnet]

#mods-faq

only get mods from the official repo or forums

or trusted patreon/kofi/gumroad

[bleak orbit]

how do i sort on the official repo

this one

[barren magnet]

search under the land tab in the forums main page

that should get you only the posts and not comments

the forums kind of sucks to navigate unfortunately

[bleak orbit]

whenever i press search it searches outside of land

[drowsy leaf]

@bleak orbit use google and search what you want followed by site:beamng.com

the forums search function is EXTREMLY outdated

[strange kettle]

1970 ahh search

[bold kindle]

holy cow when are whe gonna get new mods posted on the website? i think whe will never get new mods again on this website almost 1 month the issue is really really really big or no one care and they let the game die slowly.

Mods isnt what keeps beamng going, the devs still work on the game. They are updating security measures.

[strange kettle]

Please get more mature

literally disney got hacked of course the issue is big

[drowsy leaf]

[bold kindle]

what is the point i'm just asking a question and i say what i think if you are too woke for my question don't reply to me

[drowsy leaf]

they are probably making sure people dont get viruses or completly overhauling the backend of the repository/forums since its extremly outdated

go play something else if you’re bothered about beamng taking time to improve the game and fix major issues

[barren magnet]

what a dumb take lol. letting the game die slowly? theyre still at their peak with the droves of brainrot youtube content and mods being posted/developed

sorry if i offended you guys looollll

where do i get free offroad mods, drag racing and drift racing mods

[willow jolt]

So, not sure if anyone can help, but where are the weights for wheels? I created a new jbeam for the wheels I've modelled and on the car the wheels weigh 500kg, each...

[valid heron]

is there any way to increase the range of dynamic mirrors? If you get just a little bit away from the car the reflections will disappear

(I know its a modded car but this also happens on vanilla cars - left is panned slightly back, right is slightly forwards)

[frank cove]

Repository and forums. Not sure if it is outdated but Meo's drag mod is pretty good. Offroad wise any of the Trackfab cars are great as well as the UltraBump and Scarab.

Drifting mods I see less of, usually because drift parts are already included with most cars (modded and vanilla). If you are looking for track Utah Extra has a few, Small Drift Island has a few and my maps always have at least 1 drift track (Xero Parklands, Lonestar Speedway, Arctic Circle)

[frank cove]

I think there is an option in graphics settings but I am not 100% sure on that

[valid heron]

That doesn't work unfortunately

On the right the dynamic mirror is shown

I have the option on

This is moreso about when the camera is a bit further away from the car

[frank cove]

The distance slider doesn't work?

[valid heron]

no

thats for car reflections

not mirror reflections

[frank cove]

Ah I thought it effected both

mirriors has a different one. Also doesn't work?

[valid heron]

no

even on max settings if you go just a bit further back the car wont be shown in mirror

[frank cove]

Thats probably something for #bug-reports then as I assume the slider should effect something

[valid heron]

The same thing with vanilla cars

[frank cove]

Unless the distance is how far the objects can be that the mirror reflects?

[valid heron]

this only applies to seeing your car in the mirror

[frank cove]

Yeah this is what distance does

So I don't think there is a way to change visible distance unfortunately

[brazen cypress]

does anyone know where i can find the race seat model at in files?

[dense tangle]

[covert solar]

anyone know any mod creators that would make a really simple vehicle for free?

[barren magnet]

there is no such thing as a really simple vehicle

[covert solar]

does anyone know of good mods of luxury car brands? (bently, Rolls Royce ETC.) because the only ones i find are on modland and im not usin modland

[lunar pier]

I think this is for how far the mirror reflects, not how far you can see the reflection. I think the thought process behind this is that you rly only notice it in first person and like 3rd person when ur near the car. but if you get out then it doesnt need to spend the resources rendering the car and the reflection too. (did you step out of the car or zoom the camera out?)

[pallid swallow]

Don't think I can release this since it's cobbled together from other mods but - I present to you the Gavril Vertex Private Jet

Hey y'all quick question.. I swore I saw in a thread a while back that someone was working on remastering the oldsfullsize mod? Idk if that's true but was just curious if you guys knew anything , figured this would be the place to ask haha

[sonic bane]

Another quick question I have the base for some of my mods but all the configs and saved cars of mine are gone?

[barren magnet]

agenty has been for quite some time, but i dont believe he’s working alone on it

but i also know agent has been working on another smaller project recently

[hazy jungle]

very cool ok.. it's definitely my all time favorite mod

im obsessed with american 80s land yachts, i even own one lol

[unkempt socket]

Once I perfect this design you'll see it in the automation forums

[sonic bane]

Link the automation forums?

[dry shoal]

does anyone know much about BeamMP server problems

[brazen cypress]

Yo, is there anyone here thats willing to like go with me and help while i try making mods?

[tiny cape]

Another day of downloading stolen bullcrap from modland, soo excited! Will I have to clean install beamng? Or even clean install windows? lets go!

[tired coyote]

Fix? It's a simple performance feature

[strange kettle]

Would make for a funny gameshow but make sure you’re not a Disney employee

or any other big company for that matter

[fossil mason]

You'll need to buy a whole new computer

[strange kettle]

[cold pewter]

have you enabled custom .pc configs?

[grizzled walrus]

Holy shit, the creator themselves. What's up. No, I believe I have not

and how could I enable such setting?

Big fan of your Prius by the way

Yup, cars spawn without any issue

@cold pewter I appreciate your assistance deeply, apologies for me being an idiot

[tall fossil]

Hello!
I'm new here, and I want to make my own mod on BeamNG by scratch. Can someone learn me, please?

[spice cairn]

AI will learn you

[strange kettle]

No it will definitely not.

It likes creating nonexistent functions and probably doesn’t know what the correct jbeam syntax is

[tiny cape]

UPDATE: Game doesnt launch!

[latent ivy]

Shame.

[strange kettle]

[valid heron]

[jovial sigil]

Anyone know any bmw mods that have Light Bars?
Or how can I add lightbars to vehicles that dont have them

[restive phoenix]

Now that mod approvals on the official site are paused indefinitely, are there any reputable sites to publish Beam mods on? Sites like ModDB and BeamNG.drive Mods are out of the question thanks to their litany of stolen content and I refuse to support such sites

[cyan drum]

the beamng forums

[restive phoenix]

Yee, I plan to publish there as well. But any other sites?

[cyan drum]

none that I'd use unless we include paid mods

[restive phoenix]

Sites that host paid mods are fine if those paid mods aren't stolen

Or, you know, low-quality, ass-tier mesh slaps

[mossy frigate]

ai is only useful to explain lua, for jbeam it´s not really useful.
And if you want it to explain lua you have to ask very specific questions
It helped me once though

[rich lake]

modsverse is made by JSD

[fickle finch]

Does anyone know why?

[restive phoenix]

Don't take my word for it but I heard some hacker group infected a BeamNG mod and apparently the virus somehow made its way to Disney and now Disney has forced the Beam devs to pause new submissions while they vet all the mods available on the official site

[wispy sage]

Is there a way to add modded stuff (Wheels and such) to modded cars

I've noticed most mods like wheels and tires cover the vanilla games, but anything modded is skipped, expectedly, any way to make them work on the modded cars too?

[barren magnet]

thats on the mod author

wheels are a common part in most cases

if they only make it compatible with the wheels for their mod, thats a kinda shitty mod

unless its for a specific reason

[wispy sage]

I see

What about engines and trannys?

[barren magnet]

youd have to do the jbeam for any engines and whatnot that you'd want to add

wheel compatability should be easy to do

but i just model stuff

i dont fw jbeam

[wispy sage]

gotcha, thanks

[sonic bane]

what do you use

[barren magnet]

for what

[sonic bane]

just modding in general.

[barren magnet]

thats incredibly vague lol

modding in general could mean 100 different things

theres a lot of different sides to beamng modding

at the minimum, youll need a rich text editor like visual studio code or notepad++ with the syntax highlighter plugin

if you wanna model, blender

if you wanna do textures

paint.net/photoshop/substance painter

[sonic bane]

oh ok sorry Im a bit new

[barren magnet]

if you wanna try and get into it, figure out what your end goal is

and then smart as small as possible

like new parts for vanilla vehicles

[sonic bane]

my end goal is a lowrider with hydraulics

[sonic bane]

Yeah I want to improve the cars

[barren magnet]

cant remember if any vanilla cars already have a hydraulics system, but i know its possible

thats fairly intermediate stuff tho

[sonic bane]

Some do but they're pretty horrible so my goal is to improve them

[sonic bane]

yeah im just trying to figure it out along the way

[barren magnet]

id start out reading the documentation first for things like jbeam

theres a ton of stuff in there that wont make any sense

but basically just study vanilla jbeam and lua

and tinker with shit

change numbers in stuff

see what happens

[sonic bane]

You've been really helpful I appreciate it

[barren magnet]

no prob, good luck

[upper magnet]

when the new update coming??????

[barren magnet]

when it's ready

[tawdry ledge]

im using the lamborghini countach mod and for some reason every config has afterfire. Most of them don't have turbos and most dont have short exhausts. I tried switching exhausts but it still has afterfire and it just looks weird for a Countach to have afterfire. Is there any other reason it could be after firing?

[restive phoenix]

I dunno, but irl cars backfire when the air/fuel mixture is off somehow, causing unburned fuel to make its way into the exhaust system

Maybe the modder has screwed up some calculation that makes Beam think it's supposed to crackle and pop endlessly

[tawdry ledge]

yea maybe

https://youtu.be/sxJl6Thysl8

what for

[strong tide]

For BeamNG I guess

[drowsy leaf]

probably a commisioned mod by the youtuber

those are a thing

[young yacht]

looks like civic?

[strong tide]

Commissioned only for a video? That would not be so cool :/ I've read about sadler gorge bridges, maybe that might be something

[drowsy leaf]

yes

if you are the only crappy crash video youtuber with the mod you have exclusive content no one cant make

[young yacht]

it might just be manually duplicated versions of the sadler gorge bridge

[strong tide]

Thank you guys yeah I think that is it

[drowsy leaf]

yea that too

this must be a troll

[dire jay]

i saved it

on idk where but its in the same place as my other game mod model location

so its not going to be deleted

anyways

[dire jay]

is this enough to make a jbeam and drivable car

[drowsy leaf]

you cant be serious

[solid rapids]

you can already export things easily from substance to beam
what issues are you having with it

[torpid topaz]

do u have the textures already

[snow lotus]

does any one have a mod like gravil semi wheels that still works?

[cloud pike]

you've got it again

[bronze shard]

pretty sure blkfxx has an export preset somewhere, might have to chase that down in one of the offroad servers though

[latent ivy]

yep

[torpid topaz]

then all u need is the xxx.material.json

check the vanilla main.material.json and you should know what a material contains, texture wise, and just copy some materials over and swap the textures around

[latent ivy]

alraedy done

[torpid topaz]

what it look like now?

[latent ivy]

i mean its semi.material.json now

[torpid topaz]

its fine

kinda generic but it works, what does it contains rn

[latent ivy]

wdym

[torpid topaz]

content of that file?

[latent ivy]

jbeam files, jpg files, json files, dae, cdae, dds files

and pc files

[torpid topaz]

what are the content of your semi.material.json file

in an image format from screenshot, or text based copy paste

[torpid topaz]

each block like this is a material

[latent ivy]

i should rename the materials then

in blender

[torpid topaz]

they need to match

and probably not be smth generic like this

[granite radish]

how do you install automation license plate

[feral sail]

Does anyone have any idea how long it will take?

[barren magnet]

no

[feral sail]

I knew it. ;-;

[barren magnet]

they may also be using this time to rework some backend systems of the repo and forums

but thats just speculation

[lofty hamlet]

?

[feral sail]

I don't think there are any mods that allow you to put Automation license plates on actual BeamNG cars. I'm not 100% certain of that, though.

[feral sail]

Approvals probably won’t come back until the next major update.

[barren magnet]

probably

[feral sail]

That’s what someone told me last week. It may have been you, idk.

[barren magnet]

its not like there's anything super big that's immediately ready for approval rn anyway

there's still the option of forums release

[granite radish]

do automation cars come with plates by default?

[feral sail]

Nope! Approvals on forums are also unavailable, I believe. That’s where it says “mod approvals are suspended until further notice”.

[granite radish]

what happened?

[barren magnet]

nothing is stopping someone from making a thread with a google drive link as the download to their mod

forums posts aren't halted

docro just finished his sera like

[granite radish]

wait so there's an ongoing investigation by disney??

what the actual donkey occured

[barren magnet]

last week, well into the mod approval closure

[barren magnet]

there's an issue with the current sandboxed lua that allows for scripts to be run from inside the game that open powershell and can execute commands

this led to a major data leak from disney, since there was an employee who downloaded a mod from modland that had this malicious exploit inside of it

but

[tired coyote]

Yeah ffi wasn't properly sandboxed

[barren magnet]

there also could be other things they're doing in the downtime with the repo down

they're likely vetting mods and patching that issue

[tired coyote]

Iirc repo backend is a proper mess

[granite radish]

LOL

[barren magnet]

yeah

yet another reason not to get mods from third party sources

there's nothing to say it couldnt have happened on the forums/repo

but repo mods get checked fairly well

[granite radish]

someone at disney downloaded a modland mod

LLLLLLLLLLLL

[feral sail]

Most Automation vehicles don’t use BeamNG’s license plate mechanics. They usually come with a plate that’s literally part of the car itself and cannot be changed or customized. Some of them even come off the vehicle when damaged.

[granite radish]

still that's impossible to blame modland

[granite radish]

oh okay

[barren magnet]

zero moderation/vetting is crazy liability tho

[granite radish]

this would be extremely coincidental

[barren magnet]

speculation was that it was a leaked paid mod

[feral sail]

Very few actually do use BeamNG’s plate system.

[granite radish]

unless almost every modland mod has such an exploit, it seems like the stars aligned on this one

[barren magnet]

which if they had gotten it from legitimate sources, this wouldnt have happened

[barren magnet]

oh yeah its a major coincidence that it was a disney employee

but they obviously were not targetting anyone in specific

[granite radish]

yeah wth

[barren magnet]

so this could have happened and potentially has happened to multiple people

which then falls back on modland

since they're not doing any moderation/vetting of things that get uploaded to their site

since they do have to actively approve mods

[granite radish]

well

[barren magnet]

but they're not doing enough to protect from these things

[granite radish]

i hope their website gets taken down

[barren magnet]

like a hydra, cut off one head and two more grow back

unfortunately you cant stop third party sites from existing

[granite radish]

i don't see how beamng should be under investigation

but whatever

[granite radish]

yeah

[barren magnet]

they likely arent

[granite radish]

or what if this is a whole scheme

[barren magnet]

it wasnt something included that was malicious

[granite radish]

to try and force sell beamng to disney

[barren magnet]

there's basically no case for that

[barren magnet]

absolutely wild reach lmao. that's not gonna happen nor is it even likely

[feral sail]

So let me get this straight: Someone pirated a paid mod from the forums, and put it on modland, then someone who works at Disney wound up downloading the mod from there, which contained malware. Is that what happened?

[barren magnet]

someone paid for a mod, leaked it, someone from this group downloaded it, added the exploit, uploaded it to third party sites, and someone from disney was unlucky enough to have downloaded the wrong one

though the paid leaked mod is speculation

[tired coyote]

The group claims that it had nothing to do with beamng actually

They just happen to also distribute viruses via that, to prevent copyright infringement, keep people off of piracy and that stuff

[barren magnet]

maliciously based

[granite radish]

why beamng though

[tired coyote]

The whole thing with it being through beamng came from a single article with nothing else backing it

[granite radish]

how did it end up at disney

it doesn't make any sense

[tired coyote]

No protection against piracy but also a market for paid stuff

[tired coyote]

Not through beamng probably lmao

[granite radish]

do disney employees frequently download random beamng mods?

[feral sail]

I see, so someone who paid for it leaked it to someone, then that person put malware in it and then uploaded it to modland.

[barren magnet]

an employee downloaded something with malware in it on a computer used to access personal/private data

[granite radish]

but

we're talking chances slimmer than

[tired coyote]

Yeah

[feral sail]

It was an individual who downloaded it, and by chance it happened to be someone who works for Disney and also happens to own and play this game.

[barren magnet]

like zeit said, it's not even confirmed that it was beamng

[tired coyote]

...

[feral sail]

I see, so it could have been something for a totally different game.

[barren magnet]

i think that the beamng thing came out just bc modland is "known" for leaked beamng mods

the lua thing is likely a separate issue

[tired coyote]

Through a game is not the only way to be hacked

[tired coyote]

The lua thing was found and exploited by the same group

But yes most likely

[feral sail]

Oh, so this person got hacked?

[barren magnet]

gotcha

[tired coyote]

???

There was a mod that had a piece of code attached that downloaded a virus to your pc

However that link was already long gone when that exploit was exposed

That has nothing to do with the Disney thing

It just happened to be the same group doing both things

[feral sail]

I see

[rough iris]

so whatever this is that I am making, it is slowly but surely distancing itself from the D-series it once was. It has no real use, but I love it!

[tidal dew]

anyone here able to make a badge automation mod ? i have an idea

[upper pumice]

👀

[tired pewter]

could I get some support with making a update to a mod?

I am updating the cummins mod which is on repo but when I replaced the engine with the t-series engine it turned invisible

sure

what vc?

oh

ok

[nimble cape]

i need help with a engine with a mod

[livid oasis]

Guess what I'm working on right now?!

[livid oasis]

That is a question for #modding-general if you haven't put that there already

[nimble cape]

🤣 no one has responded lmao nvm ima learn to mod just to help the people no one wants to help

[frank cove]

Usually people are more receptive to helping the more specific your questions/problems are

No one really wants to play 20 questions figuring out what your issue is lol

[snow lotus]

does anybody have the link to the plastic tray tire mod? i remember using it to drift with fwd but i cant find it anymore

[snow lotus]

has anyone found it yet?

[livid oasis]

Same for me, sometimes

[frozen stream]

can someone make a motorised esky

[spring gyro]

I dont know where can i ask a developer from beamng so i ask here maybe one will respond 🙏 So i want to use the setTemperatureK from the core_environnement, the function EXIST but someone at beamng didnt return it in the module, i dont know if its intended or not but i dont know any other way to change the temperature of the game without having access to this function :(

[next junco]

Does anyone who understands how arcanox’s hybrid system? I have a hard time understanding how MG1 torque is determined, and what exactly does engine load torque mean 🧐

I’m trying to change the power distribution logic between ICE and MGs

[whole geyser]

How do you make a spawn point for the map? On the map I’m making, I spawn under it and somewhat far away.

[bronze shard]

[latent ivy]

Idk but that textures look pretty 8K to me

[icy inlet]

Hello guys, do you know how I can make that character attached to the car?

[hard viper]

i wanna try the Ibishu JBX100 mod but its outdated, some people suggested to do smth with 0.31 but idk how to do it so anyone can help?

[opaque falcon]

is there any mid engine longitudinal placed engine car with 6x4 or 6x6 layout mod?

not transverse mount engine

i wanna know how to code this kind of trans in the game so i can build a better 6x6

[dense tangle]

transmission will all stay the same youll just have a split shaft going from trans to the 2 diffs

in code itll be a single output powering two shafts with 2 separate diffs i think

[opaque falcon]

hmm

how does split shaft works

[dense tangle]

i think you dont even need it, you just get 2 separate driveshafts with same gearbox input and 2 different output

iirc its just a shaft that powers 2 components simoultaniously but i might be wrong

[opaque falcon]

eh

what does that mean

[dense tangle]

one shaft with 2 outputs at same speed

[opaque falcon]

Ah

[tawdry bear]

someone realy needs to make a mod for the 2006 lincoln ls

[opaque falcon]

which subaru mod has this kind of gearbox model

[opaque falcon]

this one

i wanna do plan first

[tawdry bear]

do you like my idea

i tried making it in automation but it came out goofy here is the file

[opaque falcon]

i mean i dont know lincoln ls

but maybe quite intresting to build

[tawdry bear]

i came with a v6 or a v8

the v8 had a 6 speed auto

[opaque falcon]

ah

[tawdry bear]

the v6 came with a 5 speed manual or the 6 speed auto

[opaque falcon]

i more a guy want to build wierd stuff

[tawdry bear]

you can make goofy varients

[opaque falcon]

nah, i mean real wierd stuff

[tawdry bear]

put a nuke launcher on top of one of the varients

[opaque falcon]

6x6 bolide truck stuff

diesel v8 swap

[tawdry bear]

(aslong as there is a good looking lincoln ls mod im happy lol)

[opaque falcon]

ah

[tawdry bear]

just make a v8 6 speed auto and add the option to give v8 5 speed manual and make it normal then go ham with other varients

heck even make it have granades if you want

(i cant do it myself i dont even know how to use blender let alone do lua script lol)

unless you can help guide me through how to make it???

[barren magnet]

#mods-faq read this if you wanna learn about making your own

[tawdry bear]

i dont know how to code

and i dont know how to use blender

[barren magnet]

then learn

how do you think anyone else started

[tawdry bear]

ive tried to its just not my thing

its not like i am going to make a beamng mod using scratch

i guess i will try though

[barren magnet]

then understand that asking/making suggestions will likely not result in a mod getting made

[latent ivy]

someone have a vw T1 mod for beamng?

[tame rune]

Is the repo down?

[barren magnet]

approvals are

as theyre working on some things, likely looking into and fixing some security concerns

[turbid bane]

Just a question, does anyone per chance know what suspension Lansdale uses in the front? I'm really bad at figuring this stuff out lol

[vapid copper]

I think modlane is good with mods

[strange kettle]

no it’s actually very awful

And also recently an exploit showed up which makes the mods deadlier than before

well maybe not recently but wasn’t long ago

the mods are stolen at best and malware at worst

[still bison]

Ah yeah most mods are stolen on there but I make sure to read the reviews and to look at the design carefully

[bold kindle]

modland is my best friend since the problem with the mods on the official beamng page i can't belive the issue is that big lolll i think the support team are one vacation or someting cuz 1 month since the last approuval

[fathom latch]

modland is part of the reason why the official site is having issues rn

[slate peak]

Virus

Modland is just a ripoff of the forums

Literally alot of it is stolen assets

[bold kindle]

i didn't know that

[barren magnet]

we told you the first time you said “beamng devs just letting their game die”

[primal radish]

what are like the best mods to make this game fun and test out scenarios free mods or paid mods

[livid oasis]

It is called Outback Roads! It is gonna be based of Outback Australia, and the textures are 4K PBR!

[frigid palm]

Can someone explain what happened to the repo?

Too many words. Brain hurty

[thick niche]

this guy again?

[solid rapids]

for technical reasons, mod approvals have been suspended until further notice 🙂

[thick niche]

we told you same thing last week, stop being a dummy

[frigid palm]

Duh but like did someone do something wrong or is it genuinely like “shits fucked, we don’t know why”

[primal radish]

can anyone tell me the best scenario maps there are or just maps in general and real cars mod? thank u.

[solid rapids]

you could just check the repo and sort by most popular for each category

[primal radish]

repo?

[solid rapids]

lots of speculation going around but nothing official

[solid rapids]

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

[frigid palm]

Devs found the ||poop sock|| mod
We’re so grounded

[tacit wyvern]

any good electrtic car mods?

[thorny dew]

Is there any sort of ENB or Shaders for beamng?

realistic looking not over the top stuff

[snow lotus]

yeah it’s called ultra graphics it’s in the options

[thorny dew]

I am running Ultra Graphics but I want to know if people have shader Presets that look good with this game

[barren magnet]

only thing is reshade in combination with ck or zeit's graphics menu mods

[arctic bear]

so um I’m trying to piece together the whole Disney fiasco and I still don’t quite understand why any of it involves the actual beamNG forums, since everything that happened allegedly happened through modland. which as we know is an unauthorized distributor of mods which can result in your access to beamNG being revoked altogether. why don’t the Disney higher ups take it up with modland instead of beamNG?

[strange kettle]

It’s either Beam and Disney trying to work out what happened, or the Beam dev team getting everyone available to try and get rid of that exploit that caused the data leak in the first place

we’re not actually sure what the exact reason is that the repo is down

[latent ivy]

FH3 fan detected

[livid oasis]

I live in Australia, which is the reason why I'm making it, it is not based on or inspired by FH3, as I do not play that game, or any other Forza game (except for FMS6)

[latent ivy]

Oh ok. Welp I'm all in for a good Australian map. Good luck

[quick summit]

Does anybody have some touring car mods/ingame variants? sum similar to the pessima one

[pastel plinth]

wasn't it from modland?

[strange kettle]

the mod, yws

but you never know it with greedy companies like Disney

rhey’ll either end Modland or Beam

or neither

[pastel plinth]

and was a leaked mod also

[rough iris]

I have heared that people found a way to hide a virus in the files of a mod, but don't know if it is true.
If it is, then they might be working on a program to detect that and then run every mod ever throu it, which would explain the long downtine

[livid oasis]

Thanks!

[finite scroll]

hi, does anyone know a good maybach s klass mod?

[thick niche]

no

[drowsy leaf]

no

[crisp marten]

the in game mods. Stay within the game

[crisp marten]

Its an exploit that needs to be fixed. It just so happened the mod that was infected may have come from modland, The problem with an exploit is that it was not detectable. I have a feeling they are going to really lock down mods with the next update.

[crisp marten]

It would be funny if the paid mod developer leaked his own mod and injected the exploit. A big FU to the leakers.

[barren magnet]

highly unlikely

also its not entirely confirmed that it was a beamng mod

the group says it wasnt, the lua exploit just happened to pop up around the same time

[sharp skiff]

yea, and besides neither CNN or BBC have mentioned beamng drive being related to it at all

only a few very obscure news websites

and pcgamer

[barren magnet]

there was like one that started it

with nothing to back it up, other than mentioning the guy that originally brought the exploit to light

and modern journalism is just parrots copying each other

basically there was the disney hack, and there is a lua exploit in beamng, both happened, both are bad, but are potentially completely unrelated

[sharp skiff]

pcgamer doesnt even mention modland

which sucks because really all this does is make beamng look bad

i find it even more stupid how pcgamer talks about the major life-altering hack being linked to beamng drive and they still just casually link to its steampowered page like they didnt just evidently expose major security issues. hearing about one of the largest corporations being hacked by a beamng mod (again, with no mention of modland even) will not make people wanna buy beamng i promise you pcgamer

[barren magnet]

like i said, there was no confirmation that it was even related to beamng

other than the group acknowledging the existence of the lua exploit, and them being the same group that did the hack on disney

the group has stated that the disney hack didnt have anything to do with the beamng exploit

[drowsy leaf]

to specify that speculation, a mk4 golf https://www.beamng.com/threads/volkswagen-golf-mk4-big-update.95015/ by insane mods

which for being a irl paid mod as much as i dont like them this one is very good

[barren magnet]

😭 of all things a mk4 golf

[drowsy leaf]

its a popular car

and a very good mod

[barren magnet]

yeah fair

if it was on kofi/GR i’d probably pick it up

no wagon tho yet, so i cant recreate my roommate’s shitbox

[drowsy leaf]

i think hes russian

he cant use kofi or gr

[barren magnet]

rip

[drowsy leaf]

otherwise i dont think there would be a reason to use boosty

since boosty is mainly russian

this is where im at with it

[drowsy leaf]

whats a mod builder?

[quick plover]

Blender I couldn’t think of the name

[barren magnet]

thats a modeler

it doesnt “build” mods

go watch a few tutorials to get the basics down

[quick plover]

i suck at visual learning bro

[tepid owl]

Sure, I'm waiting

[thick niche]

There is no easy peasy method of making beamng mods, it's highly involved and takes atleast a good years worth of practice to produce anything of quality.

either dedicate the time to learn it, or don't. That's all there is to it

[onyx dirge]

The exact exploit used was fixed in the previous patch (the "security update" patch note)

Of course that doesn't mean new ones aren't being researched/developed

They shouldn’t go in the vehicles file anyway, thats why the mods folder exists

[shut stratus]

Nothing good in the mods folder tho

Also I may have deleted the Us_Semi file by accident

how do I get that back without reinstalling

[drowsy leaf]

wdym nothing good on the mods folder

you place the .zip in 0.33/mods and you are done with it

[drowsy leaf]

you now dont have a tseries

verifying game files will fix that but it will also delete any shit you put where you shouldnt have

it also warns you in ALL CAPS that you shouldnt install mods so you blind or

[shut stratus]

I know i shouldnt but I cant find th efile for mods

[drowsy leaf]

what file for mods

also how about you do a bit of reading of the DO NOT INSTALL MODS HERE.TXT
https://go.beamng.com/installing-mods

[shut stratus]

like google says to put them in C:Users>USER>Documents>Beamng???>Mods

but 1, my beamng is installed on E

\2, The doucments folder is empty

so no where to put my downloaded mods

Is there anywhere I can get the T series files thjen

Not related to above but i do not use zips, i use rars.

you cant install mods as rars what are you on about

Repo mod approval is dead until further notice

[tulip thunder]

any dates by any chance (thanks for the reply tho)

[latent ivy]

Idk at all

Ig the team is being pressured by Disney after they got hacked because of a BeamNG mod

[tulip thunder]

WHAT?!?!??!

a beam mod hacked disney

[latent ivy]

I mean, it's not surprising. Everyone has good security from outside attacks but an employee downloaded an infected mod so the attack was from the inside basically

Idk if it was a repo mod though. Probably not

[tulip thunder]

oh so from inside

thanks for clarification bud 👍

[barren magnet]

this isnt true

the hack was confirmed not to be from the beamng exploit

and the exploit should have been fixed in 32.5

[latent ivy]

I haven't seen such info anywhere

[barren magnet]

where have you seen info about disney pressuring beamng?

the group themselves said that theyve used the lua exploit but the disney hack was not related to it

there were like 3 news sources that were saying that with nothing to back it up

it was not related to beamng

[latent ivy]

I haven't seen such info. I just assumed it

[barren magnet]

just coincidentally came about as the lua exploit was discovered and patched

[latent ivy]

Oh ok

Then maybe the death of mod approval is related to big under the hood changes coming in 0.33

[barren magnet]

theyre likely trying to fix the dumpster fire that is the backend of the repo and forums

[latent ivy]

I haven't noticed any major issues with it

But they know better ofc

[barren magnet]

backend

meaning not what we see

[latent ivy]

Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone ever made a scratch mod ? Like with paint scratch and everything ? thanks !

[glacial summit]

how do i anchor the camera to the cursor in blender? i forgot how lol

wait nvm i got it now

[primal radish]

how to download mods form the website

[glacial summit]

hello, i have a noob question, when making faces should it always be triangles like these?

[bronze shard]

quads are generally easier to understand and work with compared to tris. some tools kinda break functionality on tris too

[glacial summit]

quads?

[bronze shard]

4 sides

[glacial summit]

ahhh like faces with no diagonal lines across?

[bronze shard]

yes. i wouldnt bother converting from tris to quads for this sort of thing though, small enough that you can manually fix any issues tris cause in some edge cases

[glacial summit]

i see, thanks man!

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @bronze shard (current: #171 - 12)

[bronze shard]

no worries

[proven barn]

you only need tris when exporting, which blender does automatically when you make a .dae export. (Tris are also useful for topology in certain areas, but buy-in-large quads are best.)

[glacial summit]

ohhh, i did them manually, would it mess up the export results?

[proven barn]

no it wouldn't mess them up

but there's no reason to do it manually, since blender will do it for you 😛

also you could definitely get away with simplifying this area

[glacial summit]

i see, tysm lol it will def save me some time

[proven barn]

yeah no problem 😄

[glacial summit]

that one came like that by default, but ill keep this in mind when opening body parts

[proven barn]

that's how it is on the official model?

huh, I wonder why

[glacial summit]

yeahh

[proven barn]

interesting

[glacial summit]

im making more parts for beam, starting with the simplest things like cut parts, then work my way up as i learn more about modding

[proven barn]

ah does it curve from a top down view

that's a really smart way of going about learning 😄

keep it up

[glacial summit]

thanks man! i made sure not to make mistakes like i did before when i was trying to start modding for ror

i started making a whole ass car and end up quitting after making the exterior

now i want it part by part first until i can make one with my eyes closed

[proven barn]

yup lol, I think that's how everyone starts out xD

[glacial summit]

ill keep yall posted with the progress here whenever i need some help, thanks again man

[glacial summit]

time for me to remove this one that's highlighted in red, what is this thing called?

i havent molded the jbeam yet, just tried the mesh in game to see if it works out fine

[drowsy leaf]

why would you remove that

[glacial summit]

was planning to do this

[timber arrow]

Hi there, I have a mod but I don't know how to make it crash properly. I want it to crash like the other mods that deform. How can I do that?

[hollow gale]

Idk if i've already answered it in dms, but it should be called body/chassis in blender and the same in the body.jbeam file under the mesh section

[glacial summit]

ohhh i see, but irl is it also called a part of a chassis?

[glacial summit]

this helped cause i was confused at which files to mess with

[hollow gale]

Normaly yes, because if you strip down the whole car till its just the base, you will also see that

[glacial summit]

i see, thank you

Try to first look at the name of the file, and if it isn't there, look at what it is a part of, like the struts are in the suspension jbeam file

[glacial summit]

how do i export a jbeam i just modified?

nvm i got it figured out lol

[frigid palm]

@cerulean silo

So I’ve been looking at your career mod and I was curious if we could have the one part with the stripped chassis as a single piece.

I really want those options for builds in career but the insurance stuff is killing my money

Or just the whole vehicle part of the overhaul without all the insurance stuff.

[cerulean silo]

Hey Max, Could you explain a little further on how the removing of the stripped chassis influences insurance and money? Not sure I fully understand what you mean.

[brazen nymph]

Name of this mod? I know the name of the map but not with that mod ( i mean that road in the mountain)

[frigid palm]

No I mean I wanna use the stripped chassis cars that I was told were in your mod, but the insurance stuff that comes with the mod is messing with my money because I crash often.
I can’t use one without having to use the other

At least that’s how I’m understanding it

My question was could that stuff (the stuff influencing vehicles in the dealerships and the addition of the stripped chassis/bodies) could be released as it’s own mini-addon. So we can use them without incurring the full effects of the overhaul

[frigid palm]

Basically this stuff. On its own. Without the insurance mechanics.

(Was told the rolling chassis were your mod)

If I’m wrong about the rolling chassis being your mod, my bad and, I’ll drop this whole thing

Also uh….. is that stuff in the no map version of the mod?

[fair snow]

did anyone else's euro trailer mod just stop connecting to trucks

[drowsy leaf]

aprobably just added the road manually

thats just utah

maybe one of the utah improved mods have that

[strange kettle]

Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve seen something similar in some Utah expansion pack or smth

[jovial sigil]

Anyone know if there are any mods that make the ETK-800 have the modern lightbar?

[silver temple]

It seems like it’ll take an average of ~1.0L of fuel burnt to bring water and oil temp up to working temperature, but in real life cars seems only needs 0.1~0.3L of fuel burnt to reach working temperature, and the engine could be kept worm by itself for hours.

If I want to mod cooling systems to have a more realistic behavior, which direction should I go? The cooling area and cooling efficiency didn’t matter below thermostat temp, so even with no radiator it still takes 1.0L fuel to warm up

[frigid palm]

@cerulean silo Actually it seems like the no cop version doesn’t have the insurance stuff in it but has the rolling chassis cars. But it also seems like most of the other mechanics are also missing like the tweaked dealership stuff.
Idk how best to explain it.

Nvm I’m stupid. The No police is an addition not it’s own version

Still. Could we have the rolling chassis cars as their own separate mod for career?

[cerulean silo]

@frigid palm I understand now. The rolling chassis is a separate mod that you could implement into a vanilla game. It’s called “roller chassis” or something like that. I believe it may be in the repo but for sure in the forums. At this time we do not have plans to separate out insurance adjustments. I would recommend hot lapping the race track to bring insurance cost downs down and make some cash as well.

[frigid palm]

Ok thanks! And again sorry if I’ve been mistaking you for the author of the rolling chassis stuff
The only thing with insurance is it’s absurdly overpriced now so small damage is killing me.

But at the same time I really like the dealership improvements since it means more variety

[unborn meteor]

yo how do i get modern mods to work with 0.3.3

[frigid palm]

@glass onyx is your roller chassis mod compatible with career?

[glass onyx]

I didn't make the mod with the Career Mode in mind, I think the prices would probably be inaccurate. (iirc they're worth very little or nothing at all, i cant quite remember)

I've not tested it, but you can if you want, feel free to also provide feedback to me in DM's if you run into any issues 👍

[frigid palm]

It doesn’t look like they’re even in the career mode which is why I asked.

[glass onyx]

Ah, then no its not, but i might look into making them compatible (though i'm not quite sure how id go about doing that)

[cyan drum]

you don't

[unborn meteor]

dang it

[fossil mason]

Or just remake all of the jbeam yourself and all of the materials and everything to work on it (aka you probably won't do that)

[unborn meteor]

Man i am saying for 0.3.3 my pc is not good for even modding Software

[brave bane]

Weird question:

Where can I make mod suggestions? Like, idea's for people to take and make

[fossil mason]

Nowhere really

[thick niche]

only way to get a car you want in game is to dedicate learning to make one

[drowsy leaf]

its like saying "how can i port guns from farcry 6 to farcry1"
there have been so many changes since 0.3.3 in how all the mechanics and things works that you cant really do it

[unborn meteor]

Yes but still works it works

[drowsy leaf]

i once "tried" to port the ccf2 to 0.14 as a joke, everything broke, the differentials broke the entire game, all of the textures would need to be redone since now theres a different texture system, none of the screens, assists, or any features the ccf has worked, i just outright removed them, the sounds didnt work, the tires didnt work.... and this is me having experience on how to mod and switching to 0.14 which as old as it is its from 2018, 0.3.3 literally shares nothing with 0.14 in terms of code for the vehicles, so you basicall would need to remake it from 0

[unborn meteor]

I have a car that won't load and a İnvisible broken car thats why wanted to fix it

[verbal remnant]

no pulleys but i think it's great, everything works so far

Trophy Truck 5.7L V8

in a Sunburst

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well sucks to suck
id say its harder than making a mod since theres 0 information on 0.3.3 since modding barely existed back then

you will just have to get a better computer

[unborn meteor]

Ok

Thanks for at least helping me understand

[fading gust]

Utah Extra

[ivory gazelle]

How can I quickly reposition these nodes?

Trial-and-error on notepad++ isn't getting me far

[hollow gale]

Blender jbeam addon

[ivory gazelle]

Didn't know that was a thing tbh

Ty

[ivory gazelle]

It nailed the jbeam

Anyone know how I can keep the lights from flopping over like that?

In the JBEAM I used //attach to stick it to the bumper's respective node (f11111) and the node on the light mount (bb1_111l) as such: //attach
{"beamSpring":30869.6,"beamDamp":56.4},
{"beamDeform":5775,"beamStrength":4984},
{"breakGroup":"bumper_F_L"},
["bbl_l1l", "f11ll"],
["bbl_l1l", "f11ll"],
["bbl_l1l", "f11ll"],

[fossil mason]

You could try attach a beam on the back which will hold the light back

[ivory gazelle]

Will do, thx

Hi, I have a mod suggestion
A long Hoper, with like three seats rows/long bed version ?

[ivory gazelle]

The only stretched hopper mod IK of is CNVY's Hopper LJ

https://www.beamng.com/resources/cnvy-hopper-lj.22426/

With the roof off it's a bit like a pickup

[junior basin]

Thanks for help

But it sounds good to make an realy long version like a wrangler

[undone spruce]

Hi, i have a question ? I wanted to add a thruster to an ingame vehicle but it's not working, i added the "thrusters" field inside a .jbeam and set up all the electrics but in game, i can see the keybind, however even with the parking brake disengaged, it's not working. I did what i saw for the bus and for an other modded vehicle, however both of them have an accessory and instead, i put it directly inside the vehicle .jbeam ? In case someone need to know what vehicle i'm changing, it's the vanilla pickup and i modifed the pickup.jbeam file.

[undone spruce]

I solved the problem, it was something really annoying, i looked the nodes name by using "Ctrl + N", the only problem is that "1" and "l" depending on the Font look almost the same so i just wrote "bd71" instead of "bd7l", now it's working perfectly.

[ivory gazelle]

4 door wranglers are the work of satan

[junior basin]

Yes it surely need a ton of work to made it

[junior basin]

Anyone know how many Time the mod repo will be down ?

[dire jay]

down: forever

[latent ivy]

Nobody knows

[latent ivy]

yeah, it's

[slate mauve]

can someone help me? my engine mod isn't shown in parts selector.

[hollow gale]

did you give it a diffent jbeam name and in the jbeam change the name too?

[slate mauve]

the jbeam in the zip file has a different name

[slate mauve]

which line should be changed?

[hollow gale]

2, 5, and 18 if you have a custom mesh

[slate mauve]

2 and 5 are in fact changed

[hollow gale]

can you send a screenshot of the jbeam

[slate mauve]

loading the mod in-game doesnt give lua errors

[hollow gale]

try pressing update mods

[slate mauve]

its my own mod

[hollow gale]

where did you put the jbeam?

example

[slate mauve]

its a mod so its zipped

[hollow gale]

try making a new folder in unpacked, and putting everything from the zipped folder in there

[slate mauve]

directory is zip file > vehicles > citybus > lua file

[hollow gale]

yes

put vehicles and everything in it in a new folder in unpacked

[slate mauve]

for some reason i dont have an unpacked folder

unpacking in game fixed that

what i do now?

[dense tangle]

wait what

lua? why is there lua

[slate mauve]

[slate mauve]

yes it is visible in the mod manager

[drowsy leaf]

[slate mauve]

no thats the problem

[drowsy leaf]

how about you use visual studio code instead of notepad++ and get the beamng syntax extension

you might have a syntax error on your code

[rigid hare]

ohh ty

[drowsy leaf]
