[crystal sage]

like the sides get lit up but not the road

[rich lake]

@drowsy leaf correct me if im wrong

[drowsy leaf]

the problem is a mod map

sometimes for some amount of reasons the roads just ignore the lighting

[crystal sage]

this is both on autobahn and on east coast usa

[rich lake]

what about wcusa?

[drowsy leaf]

ecusa shouldnt have that issue

[rich lake]

gotta say all of this in the initial post my dude lmao

[crystal sage]

yea sorry

[rich lake]

its ok dw just know for next time

[crystal sage]

like i said i havent been playing this that long so im kinda just getting into the modding aspect

[drowsy leaf]

also dont confuse reshade with modding

thats more like gfx

[rich lake]

reshade is just a relatively cool gfx addon

[crystal sage]

is there any mods the make the ai drive better or have brighter taillights?

or just make the ai better

[drowsy leaf]

here modding is like
making bodykits and car parts/ making maps

[rich lake]

not a mod, mods are like lichis upcoming celica

[drowsy leaf]

no ai mods are non existant

[rich lake]

not at the moment iirc

[crystal sage]

ecusa be lke 50mph speed limit and the ai doing 20

[rich lake]

well take it up with staff then

[crystal sage]

oof

[rich lake]

some maps have better ai than others

[crystal sage]

true yes

[rich lake]

anyways

[drowsy leaf]

ecusa works perfectly fine, seems to be a you problem

[rich lake]

(love your tacho lichi)

[crystal sage]

let me do ecusa and show u with the mustang

[rich lake]

no

[drowsy leaf]

use a d series

[rich lake]

not with the mustang, with the d-series

[crystal sage]

ok

[rich lake]

use a vanilla car lol

[drowsy leaf]

this one?

[crystal sage]

also

[rich lake]

mhm

[crystal sage]

with ecusa i edited the world editor

based on a yt vid i seen

[drowsy leaf]

revert the changes

[crystal sage]

ok

[drowsy leaf]

or this one :p

[crystal sage]

how?

[drowsy leaf]

remove 0.32/levels/ecusa folder

[rich lake]

YES, sexy tacho confirmed 👌

[crystal sage]

located in the beamng file?

[drowsy leaf]

no in your userfolder

if you delete the one on the game files you remove the map

[crystal sage]

srry for being dumb but userfolder?

[drowsy leaf]

yes

where your mods go

[crystal sage]

oh oh ik now lol

like in the repo folder?

[drowsy leaf]

no

you see that the filepath is something/0.32/mods

well
go to something/0.32/levels/ecusa and delete that

[crystal sage]

ok i did that

[drowsy leaf]

restart game

and test if lights work with vanilla d series

[crystal sage]

couldnt find d series

but heres the moonhawk with brights on

[drowsy leaf]

how can you not find the fuckin d series

[crystal sage]

ion rlly use vanilla cars lol

so sum still buggin it

[drowsy leaf]

yea you game fucked how about you clear cache and delete all mods

[crystal sage]

u said i might be in the wrong server tho

there a dif server maybe someone knows a little more about the mod i just intalled

cuz its that mod doing it

[drowsy leaf]

i find it hard to believe that reshade could fuck that up, theres an option to toggle it off

[crystal sage]

the whole taillight render thing is just a dev problem cuz i had that even without mods

[drowsy leaf]

tailight render?

[crystal sage]

yea

ai tailight render

their lights are dim and dont show up until they are close

[drowsy leaf]

oh that

[crystal sage]

ok so yes ur right

with the shader off its a lot brighter

but i wanted to have the shader and still have the realistic shadow

cuz now it looks like this

[drowsy leaf]

then yeah id say go to the reshade discord, but i doubt you can fix that since beamngs night lighitng just sucks

[crystal sage]

yea felt

what channel is that

or is it a dif server?

[drowsy leaf]

different server, reshade is a generic graphics mod that works on almost all games

[crystal sage]

ok

[drowsy leaf]

this channel is for discussing ingame mods like cars and maps

[crystal sage]

well ill check it out the discord link prolly on their site

oh i didnt really know

i download most my mods from beamngmods but i was just tryna do the shader thing today to see if i can get it to look better

[drowsy leaf]

no why would you use that dogshit website

its low quality mods and stolen/leaked mods

[crystal sage]

there a better place lol

[drowsy leaf]

the official beamng website?

[crystal sage]

this is where i would get them

[drowsy leaf]

3rd party mod website links are banned for a reason

[crystal sage]

i have found really good car mods here tho

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/forums/vehicles.26/
https://www.beamng.com/resources/

[crystal sage]

oh yea i didnt know

[drowsy leaf]

turst me ill tear them apart and find hundreds of flaws, or just tell you that its a stolen paid mod or taken from the official website

[crystal sage]

thanks man

this is my favorite car i have found on that site

prolly one my fav cars irl to

[drowsy leaf]

[crystal sage]

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/94-98-ford-mustang-sn95.87293/

[crystal sage]

[stone horizon]

Does anyone know any NASCAR mods that work bc all the ones I try don’t work at all.

I’ve been trying to figure it out but I can’t

[shut stratus]

anyone know a trailer mod thatll helpe me put a bus onto a trailer

[opaque falcon]

Look nice

Mine was based on bolide

[tawdry ledge]

ive been searching for a good pontiac firebird WS6 mod, but the only one i found had great models but was bugged and the audio was really bad and half the build just didnt have tires. It would be really cool if someone knew a decent mod of this car

anyone got some good lore or IRL police cars

[opaque falcon]

rob dahm awd 4 rotor rx7?

i was gonna use etk k series something similar with this

[wicked egret]

you should find a way to contact rob dahm, from one of his videos you can see he does play simulators

he even opened up beam in that same video to show off what would happened if he messed up on pikes peak

[primal garden]

any1 know a good enclosed trailer that can fit some of the bigger supercars, the one that connects with a tow hitch

i found one before but it was really fragile and idk lol 😭

[cold girder]

9 mods
rtx 3060 12gb vram windforce
16gb ram 3200mhz
i3 12100F 12th gen

[dense shadow]

reinstall ur game. and check your system for any os or driver updates

u should run the game fine

[cold girder]

its beammp

i think thats why it lags out

[dense shadow]

ohh. that shits not optimised at all

[cold girder]

but i can run 6-8 ai drivers

[cold girder]

yeaaah theres experimental things if that things comes it will be optimized very good

[dense shadow]

me asw with more or less same hardware

like 8 ai is like my smooth limit

but thats with reshade lol

[cold girder]

i never modified the graphics

i think i should do it

[dense shadow]

not while on beammp though

or else u finna lag like crazy

[cold girder]

hell na wtf

ima uninstall beammp lol

i paid for a whole thing i will use the whole thing 🙂

[drowsy leaf]

I would run that many with the i3

You are Cpu bound

[cold girder]

does this change anything?

[drowsy leaf]

Yeah, ideally you'd not use things that consume cpu, such as Ai

Ai destroys low end cpus

[feral pawn]

already doing that, been using pm's on reddit for a few months

[winter pivot]

hey guys, does anyone know a mod that lets you move your camera around like this one https://www.beamng.com/resources/adjustable-camera-work-with-0-5-4.373/ (this one doesnt work anymore its outdated)

[native mulch]

Is the livery editor broken for the H-series?

[bronze shard]

in what way? seems to work ok for me

[noble lantern]

Does anyone know the actual reason the repo was paused? Did they need to upgrade the storage space on the server for it or something?

[bronze shard]

scratch that, something very funky is going on lmao

[dire shadow]

i'm curious about that too

[rustic viper]

burger

[dense shadow]

if your like building car configs or sum dont have ai on. never have ai on all the time. your main bottleneck is ur cpu as lichi said. maybe try 3-5 ai cars

and if u want dense traffic use like 4 and set respawn to 3 (traffic tool). doesnt work as good as with 6-8 but it does the job

[feral sail]

You mean 3 in pooling?

[dense shadow]

no i mean traffic tool ui app

[primal wadi]

I'm looking for car mods that add vehicles from already in-game brands. I have the Gavril Vertex, the Ibishu Shima, the Soliad Spica and the Hirochi CCF.

[barren magnet]

there's civetta mondello (paid), gavril scout (paid), gavril dynamo (paid), any of the arima cars (all on repo), hirochi talent (repo), KLJP adds a couple new ibishus and a ton of new trims for existing cars (repo), hirochi prodigy (repo)

procyon vela and centauri

both on repo, vela requires ccf

[dense shadow]

lore friendly are the words u lookin for

[primal wadi]

yea

[dense shadow]

cant let a grammatical error slide 🗣️ ❌

[barren magnet]

cherrier picnic (paid with demo on repo), ibishu claria, ibishu signia (paid with demo on repo)

[primal wadi]

[barren magnet]

It seems like it has something to do with the virus and disney, but im not entirely sure.
I could also imagine, that a lot of the devs had some summer holidays, but idk

[red moat]

how did you find a tesla mod

[karmic zealot]

is there a Pontiac Grand Prix mod for BeamNG?

[red moat]

search it up on google

[karmic zealot]

found a Grand Am

[stone horizon]

@barren magnet Yeah I have those downloaded but the gen 7 skin and i think mod are glitched and the gen 6 skins are glitched.

Also by chance do you if there are any COT or gen 4 Nascar mods because I like that gen but can’t find any released.

[barren magnet]

not that i know of

[fluid marsh]

Hi, I’m new to BeamNG. I’m installing the game as we speak. What are good city mods to start with?

And also european car mods like VW Audi BMW Mercedes?

[rain skiff]

Anybody with the Firebird LSX mod? I got a few questions

[karmic zealot]

I would like to drive a GXP into stuff in beamng tbh

[cyan drum]

make it yourself

[ancient wing]

Please help was just moving/adding a few things on world editor and when I started to drive to my shed I ran Into an invisible wall it won't let me pass this lil area and when I drop the truck it lands and floats in the air
What could be the issue?

[latent ivy]

Wow this car looks so good

[fluid marsh]

Can I mod a car to stall exactly like a normal car would?

[torpid topaz]

how does a car not already stall like a normal car

[latent ivy]

Some mods may not have the stalling mechanics implemented properly

[dry ocean]

Are there any blower surge mods? Or anything thag makes the engine sounds a lot more realistic?

[drowsy leaf]

nice mk2 pessima

[opaque falcon]

JAVI's Classic Engine Expansion pack

also include cam chop

[quick pagoda]

is the mirena still bugged in career mode

[glass heath]

Are there any decent low loader trailers out there? Similar to this?

[barren magnet]

used to be, dont think it’s worked since the t series update though

it was a proper split lowboy though

not just a low loader

[frank cove]

Might be a specific hitbox issue with an object nearby. Especially if you resized something

Hard to tell from that image

[ancient wing]

Shoot im sorry thought it was a decent photo lol but it seems to be working now I deleted and re downloaded the map
So far so good 👍🙏

anyone know of a mod with a well modeled ford expedition 2015

[tender cape]

So I’m trying to do the skins on the automation car and I need some help if someone has some files I can edit may I have them

[dry ocean]

Any other mods?

[noble lantern]

Why has no one made a mod to fix this? It seems unreasonable to only have 4 on the 22, 7 on the 30, and 9 on the 40 foot, while the flatbed (with its broken mount on the driver rear box) can carry friggin 6.

[opaque falcon]

I don't know any other mods have that kind of feature anymore

[severe thorn]

yaa

[severe thorn]

hm

[astral pike]

I am cooking

[tender void]

is it like possible to turn hotlapping stuff into time trials

i'd like to know

[rough iris]

I do have a fix to the cargo box straps on the d-series included in my mod https://www.beamng.com/resources/gamer-s-ultimate-pickup-parts.29272/

Also the tiltdeck not having many cargo boxes might be for balancing, to make a flatbed T-series better

[weary pilot]

Does someone know some mods to make beamNG realistic

[barren magnet]

what a vague question lol

[weary pilot]

I just want the game more realistic

[fathom latch]

still vague

what kind of realistic?

you can't get more realistic than real-time simulation lol

[weary pilot]

Graphics

Or like blow overs

[shrewd ginkgo]

u can look forward to the gavril gar-d-en rex!! its a mod im actively working on

[barren magnet]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/bsc-vehicle-blowover-addon.100039/

only graphics you can do is zeit or ck’s menu

and reshade

[weary pilot]

Okay thanks

[noble lantern]

Why are you bothering to put py0's in beam

[barren magnet]

because why not

[weary pilot]

How I do blow overs becouse I downloaded it now

Is there an ui app or so

[weary pilot]

[hidden sandal]

Hello, I already have a 3D model but I don't know what else I need to make a mod. Could someone tell me what else I need?

[frank cove]

Hundreds of hours of time making jbeams for everything

(a jbeam is the physics of a car model, included but not limited to suspension geometry, chassis flex data and engine data)

[primal wadi]

anyone know of some good supercar mods?

[frank cove]

If you are willing to pay the Civetta Mondello is pretty good

https://www.beamng.com/threads/2016-2022-bugatti-chiron.88889/

This is also decent but is really just a modified Scintilla (also not a supercar its a hypercar)

[rough iris]

So I made a police skin for the D-series recently, so here are the 4 configs that I will include! I think the colored ones are my fav

they are all built to be as different as possible, while still seeming legit

[frank cove]

The brown and tan one is nice. What region is that based on?

[rough iris]

to be honest, I have no clue

I live in europe 💀

[frank cove]

in general besides the ones I directly suggested just search Beamng Forums (insert supercar brand/model) and read the reviews. Should give a good idea on quality

[frank cove]

Fair enough 😂

Looks like it is a common sherrif car color. Not really specific to location

Neat

[rough iris]

could fit into utah pretty good

[rough iris]

ok that area is anything but utah lmao

[frank cove]

Utah uses all white cars irl I think. Don't really matter suppose though because beamNg isn't real life

The brown and tan would blend into the rocks well

[rough iris]

I don't think that is the intension, but yea

[frank cove]

Maryland used some tan/brown cars and trucks in the 80s and 90s

[rough iris]

also do you know any other colors that could work with that skin?

[frank cove]

dark green and white?

[rough iris]

oh, maybe

I'll try

[frank cove]

Miami runs that color scheme

You'll see it in a bunch of movies and shows from the area

[rough iris]

ok I went for a brighter green with beige

but idk, should they all be different colors or is it better if 2 out of 4 are the classic black and white?

[frank cove]

Looks epic

Also what mod is the blue trucks chassis? I don't think the base game has a crew cab short bed

[rough iris]

yea that stubby bed is also part of my mod, where the police skins will be added to with the next update https://www.beamng.com/resources/gamer-s-ultimate-pickup-parts.29272/

[frank cove]

Oh nice!! Looks good

Ohhh you're the guy who made the 6x6 nice!

[crimson junco]

hello folks, i need some help with file modding. I'm trying to turn the in game Lansdale steering into drift steering, but the rods keep breaking when i make the factor go above 0.18 . Any idea what should i change to make steering rods stronger?

thanks in advance.

[fiery adder]

Might be the wrong channel but not sure where to put this. What do you folks think of this for a Charmand 80s/90s van? Don’t get your hopes up, it’s just a small side project I’d enjoy criticism on :D

[fickle crystal]

is there a dodge charger srt hellcat mod?

i want this ridicolous thing to be seen sliding

[shrewd ginkgo]

for ur mods, do u guys use a pre-modeled engine from online (if it exists) or model the engine urself

[burnt umbra]

anyone know a good higher-class neighborhood map that doesn't need a really good PC to run so maybe like 4 square mile map and under, i dont know if this is the right channel for this im new

[waxen cliff]

Anyone know how to rotate the turbo blade on the autobello turbos

[drowsy leaf]

generally the engine models online are way too highpoly so you will need to make a lower polycount engine regardless and then bake the high detail one on it

[dense tangle]

i wouldt revive charmand as a brand ngl

[fiery adder]

Okay but I cannot be buggered to create a new brand and shoving it under cherrier doesn’t feel right to me.

[dense tangle]

i shoved a fuckign renault car into cherrier, ngl cherrier is one of the most open brands since any french car fits in

the brand has fuck all lore so you can create your own really

[fiery adder]

The only cherrier we do have feels more like a Citroen. So I’d rather use an alternative rather then touching a brand I’d be worried about causing inconsistency within. Like if a new old cherrier happens and it’s completely different I’d rather not make that a potential conflict.

I guess I just like the control of a brand with no pre-existing content, lets me do whatever without worrying it’s styling might be utterly wrong

[fiery adder]

I guess? But it leans on the quirky side of French stuff

[drowsy leaf]

citroen was pretty quirky in the 80s and 90s

then they made the most generic of euro vans ever

[fiery adder]

I mean that cherrier is quirky and so is the tango

[drowsy leaf]

i mean the vivace is pretty generic

so is the picnic by lucas

and it wouldnt make any sense making another brand or using charmand since theres no cherrier lore and 3 total cars for the brand so its not like its oversaturated like ibishu, gavril or hirochi

[fiery adder]

I’m not sure what to tell you. I could use Cherrier but I’d scrap the design and redo it if I was designing a cherrier. I was aiming to make something somewhat distinct.

[drowsy leaf]

but why?

like i said cherrier doesnt have any design laguage at all

or any lore other than french car

i mean they even considered making the vivace a charmand (originally was a hirochi)

[fiery adder]

If I was making a cherrier I’d rather it fit in alongside the picnic somewhat since this design overlaps with its time somewhat.

Basically I would’ve used the picnic as a design language basis rather then Renaults and a concept ldv

[fiery adder]

For example the small indents, the thin grill, trapezoid tail lights, indicator and headlight as one unit, etc are all things I’d consider 90s cherrier just because of the picnic

[rugged sphinx]

I remember having 2 matchbox of these, white one and red

[fiery adder]

Sorry if my ramblings been irritating

[barren magnet]

yeah but youre basing it off of another mod that is already making up new lore

like bacon and lichi said, cherrier is a basically open brand

theres no lore, no distinct design language

its french

picnic is based mostly on poojoe

tango is obviously a renault

vivace is like megane mixed with poojoe mixed with some golf mk7.5 and citroen

you can fit your van in there easily

i think reviving a dead brand that has the exact same amount of lore as cherrier is kind of a waste

there’s barely any cherrier mods

[rose prawn]

any good map that is so big to the point where we could cruise on it for 2 hours and still not explore it all?

[barren magnet]

because for whatever reason people keep latching on to charmand (hate that name too, i think its dumb and only reminds me of the pokemon) or making random new ones like autron

[barren magnet]

shutoku expressway on the forums

made by carkiller and agentmushroom

[rose prawn]

alr im gonna check it out

[rose prawn]

alr uh forums arent working

[barren magnet]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/tokyos-shuto-expressway-metropolitan-expressway.61259/

[frank cove]

American roads is pretty good too though it’s a bit old at this point. Roane County USA and Los Injures are good big maps too

[fiery adder]

Because if I’m making a mod of a vehicle from a certain company I’d want it to be in keeping with other mods? It might be a personal thing but I just don’t like mods that don’t keep their styling in keeping with the brand they claim to be.

[barren magnet]

make the mod for you

[rose prawn]

hm, yk any maps with more turns? Yk like country roads and stuff like that

[barren magnet]

not to be in line with other people’s mods

[barren magnet]

the ones trackbroseff suggested

[rose prawn]

american roads? alr let me see

[fiery adder]

Making the mod for me would still be keeping it in line tho, or I’d be frustrated with my own mod :/

[barren magnet]

i guess

[rose prawn]

eh no, i fr dont know what map to play with my friend.

[barren magnet]

idk, like i said

the brands have literally no lore, so putting it in cherrier makes just as much sense as it would be to make a new brand

charmand is a dead brand

[frank cove]

Roane county has some good back roads I think

[barren magnet]

autron is autron

[rose prawn]

alr wait

[frank cove]

Very Appalachian

Most big maps by nature are low in detail

[rose prawn]

yeah thats the thing i dont like

[fiery adder]

Which is honestly why I prefer it, it makes it feel like I have more design freedom, even if it’s a constraint of my own mind

[barren magnet]

using charmand also comes with a bit of a stigma though at the same time

[frank cove]

You’re not going to find a big and detailed map unfortunately. It’s kinda one or the other. Both for performance reasons and time reasons

[barren magnet]

like i said, cherrier literally has no design constraints

the only official cherrier is the vivace

anything prior to that is open to interpretation

[fiery adder]

What do you mean exactly?

[frank cove]

If you like a snowy/offroady vibe my “Arctic circle” is very fun to explore I think (same map size as Italy)

[rose prawn]

eh thats bad, know any smaller maps that are somewhat decent in details but country roads and just a bunch of turns in general

[barren magnet]

the only charmand mods we have are low effort mods with very little forward thinking

[rose prawn]

That i will have to try solo but with my friend he does not enjoy offroading

[barren magnet]

or not necessarily low effort, but not good quality

[fiery adder]

The only one I know is the old 1104b mod which was just a product of it’s time

[frank cove]

My Xero Parklands map has a bunch of stuff in a not massive space. Some canyon roads, a mountain or two, a race track and a few country roads as well as a small town

[barren magnet]

and picnic isnt the be all end all of cherrier design

its just what lucas made

[frank cove]

Basically you can spend a while exploring the map even if you aren’t going very far lol

(It’s ECUSA size)

[rose prawn]

hm alr ill take them into consideration lol

[fiery adder]

I know, but I’d still want to keep consistency for my own sake. I really don’t like random nonsense styling for brands that have styling

[rose prawn]

ill go search for more thanks tho

[frank cove]

No worries best of luck to ya

[rose prawn]

ty

[barren magnet]

if its french, its not nonsense random styling

it will fit into cherrier regardless

because there is no set design language for anything prior to the vivace

[frank cove]

The essence of French car design is random nonsense styling no? 😅😂

[barren magnet]

exactly

like they all were their own things

cherrier has no real basis, so it doesnt matter where the inspiration comes from

[frank cove]

A 2CV looks nothing like a DS despite being from the same era and brand

[barren magnet]

and just because it might not match the same styling cues as the picnic, doesnt mean its random nonsense

[fiery adder]

Maybe that was poor wording, I just prefer consistency. The van thing looks nothing alike existing cherrier mods or even most French vehicles, it’s based partially on a LDV and a transit

[barren magnet]

those can easily pass for french

its a utility vehicle, not meant to capture hearts and minds

[fiery adder]

The point was to make something distinct from a cherrier, if it was to be a cherrier I would redisgn it

[barren magnet]

charmand is essentially cherrier though

but dead and gone

[frank cove]

Same brand same era very little in common. I think you are being too hard on yourself when it comes to design philosophy my friend

[barren magnet]

autron is its own thing but that also has a stigma around its creator and the mod itself

nvm thought autron was by someone else

so mostly stigma around the mod

compared to the crosssport that came after it

[fiery adder]

I know nothing about autron, I tried the mods and they weren’t for me

I preferred charmand simply because the only standing I know for it is a Renault Clio mod. It has a foot in the more Renault-esk style stuff. I could call it whatever, at the end of the day I was asking about it’s design and no a long argument over a name

It simply was to set it apart because I wanted to try and create a styling for something. I didn’t want to do cherrier because people have already explored that.

[barren magnet]

but thats what we’re saying

it hasnt been explored

you can use any design you can think of in it

it absolutely can still fall under cherrier and be completely original

[fiery adder]

But why should it? Why should I bother making it a cherrier if it can’t sit alongside the main idea of a 90s cherrier.

[barren magnet]

why cant it

[fiery adder]

It currently could, but I’ve been trying to design it not to. That’s part of why I even asked for styling advice

[solid rapids]

ultimately doesnt really matter
the unofficial lores already cooked with stuff like autron already existing and being somewhat widely embraced
-# unfortunately

[fiery adder]

It might not matter generally but personally it does. It’s intended to just be a nice side project for me to create something unique and let me be a bit creative.

[polar swift]

wait, whats the deal with autron? is it a 'revived' old lore brand like jargl?

[fiery adder]

I think someone just created it to make frenchified Ibishu

[solid rapids]

yeah it just doesnt make a whole lotta sense lol

[solid rapids]

well yea thats what i mean kinda just do whatever honestly
plus theres great comedic value to be had whenever someone makes a mod and puts it under a brand that doesnt necesarilly make sense and people go mad over that fact

[polar swift]

i dont generally mind about lore continuity, as an example about half of the d series, pessima, covet and grand marshall mods i have contradict eachother

[fiery adder]

But at the end of the day, I was asking about styling, not the name. This whole long tangent telling me calling a charmand is wrong and silly isn’t even what I asked about

[fiery adder]

I could never 😭
That’d wind me up no end lol

[polar swift]

it annoys me too dw 😭 as long as they look good for photos/add to traffic variety i can mind it tho lol

[fiery adder]

If anyone actually wants to talk about the damn design I’d be delighted to actually do that

[polar swift]

also isnt charmand a one off brand from 2016? correct me if im wrong

[fiery adder]

Don’t know, didn’t really care

[polar swift]

i can see this

idk personally if you'd have to ask for permission to use picnic design elements or something, given its already based off real vehicle(s)

[fiery adder]

I don’t know and it doesn’t matter because I was never designing a cherrier

[fiery adder]

I’ve reread this and I’m still not sure what it means

[frank cove]

I was referring to the Citroen cars from the 60s I sent. French cars are often just weird and lack much of a design language period

[polar swift]

OH i think i understand more what you mean now

[fiery adder]

They usually have a few things shared between models like Citroen having weird suspension and flat-top rear wheel arches. Otherwise I agree they mostly are pretty different (except Peugeot who had a era of consistent design language)

[polar swift]

some modders have interpreted italian cars (fiats) as cherriers so i think its better to just view the brand as a big umbrella for that kinda stuff

[fiery adder]

But usually there’s at least some sorta vibe across the entire range, even if they don’t share features? I don’t know how better to explain

[fiery adder]

I just kinda can’t, I don’t like the inconsistencies and just don’t play with mods that have inconsistencies

[polar swift]

i getcha

in an ideal world there would be some kinda existing design language to follow and more coordination with fanon/official lore for new mods but eh 😭

i think personally its fine to make ur own brand as long as its design and brand is generally visually distinct, look at arima for example

actually i dont remember if arima was made or existed beforehand

[frank cove]

I think part of the problem with making a French brand is that there’s only 2 to pick from irl.

Where with Hirochi, Arima and Ibishu there’s a total of 10 or so IRL Japanese brands to draw inspiration from

[fiery adder]

2?

[frank cove]

Citroen and Peugeot. Kinda DS too if you are being generous

[solid rapids]

as far as the design goes looks completely passable as an 80s van
definitely looks french, much like a mk1 trafic
only thing that sticks out to me is that the accent line going around the car seems to be mighty broad on the front

[frank cove]

Unless I forgot one

[polar swift]

renault :3

[fiery adder]

Blud forgot Renault

[frank cove]

Oop lol

So 3 maybe 4

[polar swift]

real alpine patriots

[frank cove]

5 with Alpine I suppose

[fiery adder]

I do agree that inspiration is certainly a thing. It’s why I mixed in some transit and LDV

Also because Renault was making two of the same sized van at the same point giving me more wiggle room for inspiration

[frank cove]

I guess with 5 brands irl I can see the point in another French brand in game

Particularly a funkier less sporty brand similar to Citroen. With a bunch of weird and wonderful cars

Let Cherrier be the sporty brand with the 206 GTIs and the RS Megane type cars

[fiery adder]

A good chunk of my styling ideas came from here (like the weird indicator placement that felt French enough to me)

[frank cove]

imo at least

[frank cove]

DAF is Dutch no?

[polar swift]

OOOH i give you my full support :3 loved those concepts

[fiery adder]

These were meant to be LDVs and DAFs apparently

[frank cove]

Whats LDV?

[solid rapids]

british van thing

[fiery adder]

The worst van company ever made

[frank cove]

Those vans are sick though

[fiery adder]

Vans all come completely rotten out from factory

[frank cove]

I support new company for them since they are weird and wacky

[polar swift]

i love ldv

[fiery adder]

The one my family had the wheel fell off of randomly

[frank cove]

That is certainly an Van

[polar swift]

whenever i see one irl they all look like they sat in the rust belt for 10 years 😭

[fiery adder]

I’ve seen them with half the side gone

[polar swift]

but they're cool regardless, especially the luton ones

[fiery adder]

Yay

[frank cove]

Hold on I just learned this. You’re telling me Citroen means Lemon in Dutch???

[fiery adder]

Possibly?

[frank cove]

I think I’m just American AF because it’s also Citron in French lol

[solid rapids]

citrus close enough

[fiery adder]

It was this, the Renault master, the Renault Trafic and a bit of Clio and Reno 21 I was trying to take inspiration from (with some extra personal spice)

[polar swift]

citrus sounds like a name you'd see in a mobile game to get around copyright issues

[polar swift]

i mean this positively

[fiery adder]

Citrus is just the name for lemons, limes and orange type fruits right?

[polar swift]

yea

[fiery adder]

I do just want to say about this, I feel if people make good enough competitor brands they’re perfectly fine. Like if someone made a good sunburst competitor and gave it a seperate brand that’d make decent sense. People kinda miss out on making competitor cars, there’s barely anything in the same category as another car

Settling for one brand per country only makes sense if there’s bugger all to inspire multiple brands

[solid rapids]

if youve not considered it yet, a pretty good way to try and visualise your own attempts at car designs, if you cant/dont want to sketch them out, is by making a simple line mesh, way easier to figure out the design when you can actually pan and wiggle it around

[fiery adder]

I was planning to change the design when I get to modelling but I wanted a decent blueprint to begin with

Starting with the blueprint made designing easier for me personally

[solid rapids]

what i mean is basically making a 3d blueprint much like this
where you only put down the key lines
just something i tend to do, tried my hand at making some fictionalised designs by drawing over images too

[fiery adder]

I spy a galant

[solid rapids]

ig its easier to start with a 2d image but you can also just do it in mesh

[fiery adder]

Yeas

[solid rapids]

from eyeballing it

[frank cove]

I think Japan is set tbh. I could maybe see a Mazda inspo brand working in but otherwise I think it’s pretty set.

But a modern Ibishu as a Sunburst competitor would be cool

[solid rapids]

yuh someone elses wip model photo i stole lol

[fiery adder]

I feel for normal gameplay yea. Personally I like to play the game as a simracer so having multiple competing brands is perfect in my eyes

[solid rapids]

generally you start with the line mesh when modeling a car, but it works well for sort of 3d sketching too

[fiery adder]

Yea, I get the idea

[fiery adder]

As the average person just driving about, one Japanese sport saloon is enough but when racing it’s nice to have two

[solid rapids]

you get the ibishu pessima and the ibishu pessima

[fiery adder]

But what if I want the Ibishu pessima and an arima?

I actually love the arima for that, gives the 2nd gen pessima some competition finally

[paper robin]

uhhhh i think i posted it in the wrong chat lmao, stuff ive been workin since 2020

[outer solstice]

what program are you modelling that in?

[paper robin]

3ds max, been doing gta sa/ac modding for 9 years now, a lot more used to it than to blender

[outer solstice]

ah nice, most people here use blender so its strange seeing a different program lmao

looks good

[paper robin]

i posted other pics in 3d modelling with mesh ant etc

would happily hear out any criticism and etc cuz i want to actually make it happen now

[fiery adder]

I’d suggest making the front bumper more prominent

[paper robin]

yeah true that, i did the whole front way back when i was p much just learning to model a car from scratch lol

[fiery adder]

Also what’s your polyflow look like?

[paper robin]

look up in 3d modelling i dont want to flood diff channels with same pics lol

[fiery adder]

The polyflow really isn’t optimal

[outer solstice]

anyway do you have anything planned for the lore of this thing (if any)?

[fiery adder]

The front is decent but behind it starts getting wacky

[paper robin]

planned to call it rolf as initial car, then branch it out to all the different brands just like it was in the real life with opel (i thinks it was called like 8-9 different brands in different countries?)

lhd rhd, jdm usdm eudm variants all that

[outer solstice]

wait is this based on the frontera?

[paper robin]

frontera and monterey

[outer solstice]

absolutely epic

[paper robin]

front is more frontera-ish while the rear tires to look like a monterey

i liked both and decided to join them

[fiery adder]

I’d suggest making it look heavier and wider, those two Vauxhalls have a very heavy appearance

[paper robin]

yeah true that, i will see what i could do better, the rear hasnt been changed since i created it 4 years ago

[barren magnet]

was the monterey not just a trooper

[outer solstice]

lowering the poly weight and straightening it up should be all it needs

[outer solstice]

everything is just a trooper (most rebadged car ever fr)

[fiery adder]

Except in the doors which are a bit low poly

[paper robin]

on fronteras most of the width comes from additional flares and other plastics, which i plan to do a bit later as i set the ground for the final shape of the car

[fiery adder]

Actually scrap that, it’s just the inner faces are much bigger then they ought to be

[outer solstice]

tbh im just a big fan of the proportions of the car, I absolutely suck at that stuff lmao

[fiery adder]

Yea, it’s just how the fenders you’ve got are a bit too small

[paper robin]

afraid of overdoing it lol

will be making additional wider ones and etc

this one i initially made as a "base" car

[fiery adder]

Giving it a tad more shouldn’t hurt

[paper robin]

i.e. 2wd one

[fiery adder]

I might also suggest more prominent grill would help, larger vehicles often have more prominent grills ‘cause big radiators

[paper robin]

well it depends, thats how irl frontera looks like

iirc when i fixed this car half of the front grill wasnt even at the radiator level lol

the lower bumper part did a lot more than the grill

[fiery adder]

I think it’s the headlights and the grill, I’d scale the lights down and increase the grill width

[paper robin]

might be that, imma try to experiment on it

[fiery adder]

Yea

I would def suggest bigger bumpers though, the actual Vauxhall’s bumpers look a bit daft with how tiny they are

[paper robin]

i kinda like the clumsiness of it, its made like that for a reason tho so its understandable

minimizing overhang for offroading

[fiery adder]

Yea, just makes it looks smooshed. Most SUVs have some depth to their bumpers so if it’s not meant to be a perfect replica I’d add the depth

Gives space to add auxiliary lights on the front bumper too which just looks cool

[paper robin]

i might add bigger bumpers to usdm variants or smth like that, would also make some sense

its meant to be sorta a nostalgia trip for me lol, and i dont really want to make a total replica of it but inspired as much as possible by it

[fiery adder]

Yea, I get it

Would you have a more classic styled bumper?

[paper robin]

could you elaborate?

[fiery adder]

Like these, how they sort of just have a bar for a bumper

[paper robin]

i think i would do it, giving a bit more of a monterey/trooper/etc vibe to it

[fiery adder]

That’d work

Honestly that bumper looks a good chunk better

It better have the lil headlight wipers

[paper robin]

good idea lol

forgot about their existence even tho i have em on my laurel lol

[fiery adder]

Love em to bits, I’d get them for my own car if a kit existed

[paper robin]

absolutely not useful but a cool thing for sure haha

[fiery adder]

Exactly

I’ll be interested to see where this goes

[paper robin]

well i have absolute zero knowledge on exporting the car and doing jbeam, ideally id love to collaborate with someone, because i myself have work, technical college, 3 project cars and all the other stuff going on lol

sometimes i barely find time to model not talking about putting the car ingame even

[fiery adder]

Yeaaa

[wheat storm]

does anyone know the difference between beammp and kissmp?

[clear swallow]

Tf is kissmp

[fathom thorn]

Beammp messes with the games files and you probably need an account to use it
And you need to do some more special stuff for servers
Beammp is also much larger, and more well documented. It’s also a bit higher quality feeling due to custom ui stuff

[wheat storm]

thanks

[crude moon]

hello im looking for a 350z mod that isnt made with automation

[hollow gale]

there is a good one but its from modland 💀

[quick shale]

at this point just use 370z https://www.beamng.com/threads/nissan-370z-hotfix.80709/

[drowsy leaf]

those words dont go along

[hollow gale]

✅

[cunning scroll]

is there a tourbillion mod? because ive seen a picture of one

dont know if its private or what just wondering

[severe thorn]

alright so I'm quite planning to add 2 new turbo variants and maybe a few intake options sooner. One of which is a ITB intake.

[clear moss]

is there anyway to make skins with main.materials with skin.materials

[solid rapids]

huh
skins with main.materials with skin.materials
what and why

i dont think it matters theyre just named different things for the sake of organising

[fading gust]

for what purpose

just use em both lol its easier

[clear moss]

well im using both but my skin is still all white

nothins coming up

[clear moss]

^

[fading gust]

everything mapped correctly? skin set up in jbeam right?

[clear moss]

yes

its for a mod

specifically the 2021 tahoe undercover

infinities one

[drowsy leaf]

otherwise skin mods wouldnt exist

since to not overwrite the base textures you have to use something.materials.json

that was one of the reasons to switch from materials.cs iirc

[solid rapids]

confused by what do you mean exactly
doesnt that also apply to skin.materials anyway, still have to rename it or youll just end up overriding the default skins
or put it in a subfolder

as that stops things from overwriting even if they share names im p sure

[drowsy leaf]

if you couldnt add more materials without overwriting vanilla files which is not allowed skins wouldnt really exist

you could create subfolders which is true ig

[solid rapids]

well we had skin mods before json
and i dont think the fact that they separate the main and skin material files has anything to do with making it possible to not override vanilla files

its always been possible by using subfolders or just giving it an unique name

[clear moss]

well tbh this particular mod is using the revolution recraft paint dds etc and its js a big f around

[drowsy leaf]

oh so its just garbage

does it even have skin uvs

[clear moss]

yeah

[clear moss]

just no skin.materials for me to paste in my unpacked folder

nothing vanilla in this shit

[drowsy leaf]

why its heavily reccomened to not touch modded cars

even for good ones from reputable creators since everyone does things differently from vanilla to a certain degree

[clear moss]

yeah tbh its js stupid how they have to use a third party .dae just for paint materials

[drowsy leaf]

[clear moss]

yes but they did not 5 years ago

[drowsy leaf]

we must be talking about something different

[clear moss]

i dont think the bruckell badge swapped mustang sucked balls at all tbh

the gavril 100%

[drowsy leaf]

whenever you see RRPBR inmediatly delete

but like that tahoe sucks

[rich lake]

why?

[clear moss]

yeah why tf

isnt that made by 2fastracing

[drowsy leaf]

too lazy to make their own fucking materials so they use garbage from 2fardracing

like cmon it takes seconds to make a material with the material editor

[clear moss]

yeah the fucking engine bay isnt even 3d 💀

[rich lake]

its a jpeg

slapped on a mesh

[drowsy leaf]

and if they are that lazy in such a simple thing its just probably garbage in every other way

[rich lake]

and also his els sucks ass

the colors are weird

[clear moss]

thats what i like abt it tbh

[drowsy leaf]

are those forums mods or

hopefully not

[rich lake]

that was paid.

[clear moss]

fuckinnnnggg paid

[drowsy leaf]

oh so paid scam mods great

[clear moss]

shit fucking paid mods

[clear moss]

im not paying for a fucking jpeg engine bay hell no

thank you reddit 🙏

[rich lake]

did bro get it leaked 🤨

i wont care nor judge

[clear moss]

hell no bro that shit was leaked before he even released it ☠️

[rich lake]

on the main reddit?

[clear moss]

nah

[rich lake]

[clear moss]

the uhhh

the reddit where you have to use basedecoder

[clear moss]

algs i hate paid mods, stupid fucks honestly when you have these high quality lore friendly paid mods who we should be buying from

[drowsy leaf]

remember than piracy talk is not allowed and you might get warned

also just dont use the garbage posted there since its

[rich lake]

very rarely good stuff tbh

i gaze at it, dont rlly download anything.

[clear moss]

ong i got like 50 of them rn as we speak

the rest are all skins and maps lmao

[solid rapids]

so its a mod you think isnt worthwhile
but youll still use it as long as you can get it without paying for it

[drowsy leaf]

^^ if its shit why do you even have them

just dont have them

[clear moss]

meh they are some good quality ones but thats only like 3 of them

how do you leak it several times

once and its so joever

[barren magnet]

its in ea still

[clear moss]

they were all non lore friendly

[cyan drum]

leaked different updates + I take it down whenever there's a new leak

[solid rapids]

hu

how do you even take it down

[clear moss]

dmca but even then your making mods that are rl

so dmca is only a good option if its lore

[drowsy leaf]

they all use modsfire and modsfire in itself is against leaked mods

[solid rapids]

well if you make mods that are rl its your fault smh

[clear moss]

exactly

[drowsy leaf]

so if you report it and paste the gumroad link to buy the original they take it down within a day

you could say

[cyan drum]

if you wanna avoid what they did yeah

[unkempt socket]

Well that's fine, but I don't have a racing display on my cars

[frank cove]

That’s Akemi no?

(Or a name similar spelling to that)

[strange kettle]

Akemi and Aubrey are the same person

Just goes by different names in different places

[frank cove]

Ah ok 👌

Good mod tbh, hopefully it gets updated so it doesn’t rely on the pre remaster BX

[cyan drum]

yeah no I don't think it'll get updated any soon lmao

hope they stay away from the community for a long time

[barren magnet]

the aubrey in this server is not akemi, should preface that

[strange kettle]

Huh rlly

interesting

[barren magnet]

akemi has gone by many names over the years

if youve ever heard of shio

[steady swallow]

i was doing some stuff to my pc and accidently lost the plate mod

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1245504912138178560/1269350708436533299/sillyyyyyyy.gif?ex=66d3ffb8&is=66d2ae38&hm=e0651596d06cd7e33c4ba854e3d3156297f926431527ef54108c905bcc7253aa&

[frank cove]

Why what happened?

[cyan drum]

author is a rampant pedophile and likes little children/lolis

[frank cove]

Ah. Yikes

[cyan drum]

(yet people still defend the usage of their mods)

[dense shadow]

who is thsi creator (i cant be botehred to read up)

[steady swallow]

Why stuff like this gotta happen to the creators of mods i actually like

[frank cove]

I mean art can be separated from the artist but yeah definitely a sketchy person

[cyan drum]

shiokarai aka akemi aka aubrey aka porterrobinson

[cyan drum]

no wtf pedophilia is too fucked to do that

[dense shadow]

oh alr, but hating on their mods is not a good thing either.

[steady swallow]

turns out i lost all my beamng mods in general

[cyan drum]

my brother in christ they used to put literal lolis in their mods

[frank cove]

I said can not should.

I agree that no support should be shown to them at all

[dense shadow]

i prolly added stance to sum of aubreys mods

[dense shadow]

im not with christ sory 😭

but i get ur point

[frank cove]

I also have only ever used their Spica so I can’t comment on anything else they’ve made

[dense shadow]

also taking their garbage mod and improving it is not evan a bad thing

[frank cove]

It would probably be looked down apon for good reason. Hopefully someone just makes a completely new Foxbody

[cyan drum]

yeah
if it wasn't associated to someone who needs severe mental help

[frank cove]

We have a bunch of 80s cars so there’s allot of basis to start from

[cyan drum]

istg I keep forgetting custom emojis aren't allowed in this channel

[frank cove]

Not sure on the progress but maybe the #1257514860342804601 could fill this. iirc it’s somewhere between an 80s Charger, Foxbody and Audi Quattro

But it’s up to the creator if they plan on finishing the project

[dense shadow]

ok as i was saying.. you shouldnt generalize needing mental help. (im not defending anybody) most people who are indeed suffering mental problems do not speak out.

[barren magnet]

correct but most people who are suffering mental problems don’t groom 14 year olds

[cyan drum]

while being 19

[barren magnet]

and then get caught

[dense shadow]

i can agree on that as its a horrid thing

[cyan drum]

and justifying their actions on the act

[dense shadow]

my point was that the people who REALLY have mental issues keep quiet and allat. the odd ones that act out are just weirdos 😭

[cunning vessel]

Freaky arse cunt

[mystic ginkgo]

whats that mod called that adds more modifaction to like stock cars

[hollow gale]

Fallgems config pack?

[mystic ginkgo]

no no like the cars are cleann

and like japanese sort of

[strange kettle]

KLJP?

[mystic ginkgo]

yes thnaks htats it

[drowsy leaf]

fallgems absurd and random assortment of bloatware configs?

[icy breach]

can anyone recommend me a good country side map mod

[silver condor]

out of curiosity, is there a guide on how to make time trials cause i wanna make one

[ocean wadi]

Is there like a dedicated server or somewhere to go for offroad related mods for Beam? I’m obsessed with all forms of desert racing but I also like crawlers.

[sly berry]

I was looking through some old images and found screenshots of this car and uhh i dont remember what it was called and i last used it in december (and i lost it)

[analog vector]

[oblique yacht]

anyone here know how to like clear beamMP's cache like for all the dls ?

[woven crow]

is it just me or does the etk 800 elektroE (the ev mod) have fwd

because only the front wheels spin when i launch it

[latent ivy]

I belive it is awd just that it's really heavy in the back

[inner orchid]

is there a mod that adds some more traffic mechanics like different kinds of chases or something like that?

I haven't seen anything like that yet but it would be really cool

the mod filters also don't even remotely match so it's hard to find something like this

[hot cloud]

does anyone know if there is a mod which would allow the roamer front end on a d series?

[distant hare]

there is a gaucho mod that the d series as an suv

[hot cloud]

where can i find that?

[distant hare]

beam forum

[hot cloud]

found it, thank you

[distant hare]

no problem

[ocean wadi]

[bronze shard]

take your pick from beam wheeler, rcc or bdr. there are a handful of other relevant servers, but you can get to them through those 3 anyway

[hearty prairie]

what software do people use to make the models of these vehicles? I have a few ideas that I would like to tinker around with but I'm not sure where to start.

[bronze shard]

most of us use blender

[hearty prairie]

Is that something I may be able to use being that I have very little knowledge of 3d modeling?

[distant hare]

its not easy but with some grease u will be able to use it#

[bronze shard]

sure, none of the other options are really going to be more beginner friendly and most will have a cost. there are many yt tutorials and considering most of us here use it, you will be able to get some pointers here and there

[hearty prairie]

I like the sound of this I'll give it a shot

[ocean wadi]

Are these on discord?

[bronze shard]

all 3 are discord servers

[ocean wadi]

Thank you sir! I’ll see if I can figure out how to find them now. 😂

[bronze shard]

beam wheeler should be easy to find, just grab the others through there

[woven crow]

yeah seems like it

[sweet pumice]

I have a small question:
Does anyone know any good engine sound mods for the T-Series? I like using the T-Series to do some fun police chases but the current engine sound doesn't sound "aggressive" enough. It sound a bit more like a tractor than a menacing semi that would take down entire roadblocks, if that make sense? Here's a small video I found to explain what I mean by "aggressive".
https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx_0qjaB6_HO6lWHOoiNPNcSdFEmVdAMXx?si=R2wbwQ_4snBxNIoI

[barren magnet]

that sound is a detroit, which is two stroke. i dont think there are any two stroke engine mods for the t series

[velvet meteor]

Any mod recommendations? as I lost my previous ones : (

[viscid spindle]

Is there a version of ashmaker's jet engine under the modslot thingey?

Tried editing myself but seems a bit too deep for me

[sweet pumice]

What about V8?

[opaque falcon]

anyone know any etk version bmw e31 mod?

i want to get some idea

[dense tangle]

[split cairn]

is this thing worth a whole thread?

[misty onyx]

model a steam engine

pls

[quick pagoda]

welp ig we wont be seeing an updated spica mod anytime soon

[wispy lava]

Why did you put a steam engine in that car, feels like it goes a bit better with the T-series or pigeon

[split cairn]

Because it has those cut hood pipe

[rustic viper]

hello guys

does anyone have indepth knowledge about the race tool in beamng

[outer hornet]

There is this mod that adds lore friendly skins to vehicles with a bunch of like company and brand cars such as nomi and such but I forgot what it was called. Does anyone know what mod it is?

[frank cove]

I somewhat do yes. What’s up?

[rustic viper]

well i have two questions

A. how does the rolling start work and how to use it?

B. Is it possible to edit the AI routespeed and mode using the race tool i.e. after passing a waypoint i want the AI to follow a set speed on a straightaway.

[frank cove]

A: Time trials only as far as I know

B: Not that I know of

[rustic viper]

😟

aw man

imagine rolling starts for AI races like in gt7

[frank cove]

Yeah that would be neat

One think I do to get around it is to just have Ai start single file well before the start finish line

Then it’s just up to the player to follow racing rules and not overtake before start finish

[deep meteor]

do 0.32 mods work with 0.22?

[rustic viper]

that's a solution yeah

maybe i'll consider doing that for my mod

[frank cove]

No

[rustic viper]

...

[deep meteor]

why tho?

[rustic viper]

it's a old version

[frank cove]

It’s an old version which the mods aren’t made for

[rustic viper]

no mod support for old versions

[frank cove]

MAYBE a few would still work but I highly highly highly doubt it

Just play the most recent version

[deep meteor]

aw but thx anyways

[deep meteor]

my pc will die

[frank cove]

Version shouldn’t effect performance

Also mods are not advised if you can barely run the game tbh

[deep meteor]

are u sure?

[frank cove]

Yes

If anything it’ll perform more optimally

[deep meteor]

it runs the games for sure but if i spawn more than 3 cars i get sent to the desktop

k thx anyways!

[rustic viper]

haha

i feel you

[deep meteor]

btw

whats the name of the SUV mod

the one with lots of configs

[outer hornet]

I am gonna loose my mind if i can't find this livery mod

[rustic viper]

which?

[frank cove]

Procyon Centauri. Pretty intensive mod though performance wise

[outer hornet]

tons of lore friendly liveries for all vehicles

[deep meteor]

im gonna buy a new gpu next month so not rll a problem

is 10gb ram enought tho?

[frank cove]

Pretty sure Ram only comes in extensions of 8 no?

[bronze shard]

vram, you mean? depends on resolution

[frank cove]

Also 16gb of Ram is the minimum for normal graphics iirc. 32gb is the recommended

[deep meteor]

wait

CPU : I5-4590K
GPU : HD 4600 (yes intergrated graphics)
RAM : 10 GB DDR3

dont judge me plz

[bronze shard]

10gb ram doesnt even meet the min

[deep meteor]

i mean its running

that cpu costed me a kidney already

[frank cove]

Ram also comes in multiples of 4 I’m pretty sure.

So 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. I’ve never heard of 10gb of Ram

But regardless doesn’t meet minimum specs

[bronze shard]

might be 8+2?

[deep meteor]

excatly

2 sticks of 4gb and 1 stick of 2gb i found

[drowsy leaf]

computers used to not want to exist if it wasnt a multiple of 2 but now they arent as pissy about it

i mean i have a 10 year old laptop running with 6gb ram (4+2)

and nowadays 24GB is relatively common

[frank cove]

Ah that makes sense. Didn’t realize Ram came in 2gb sticks tbh

[deep meteor]

in DDR3 they did

[drowsy leaf]

if it DDR3

i mean i have 512MB ddr2 ram sticks so

[deep meteor]

they are the most common i find

[drowsy leaf]

i love only having 4gb of ram in my 32 bit system

[deep meteor]

i could buy a better gpu

but a RTX 2050 costs as much as a motorcycle in my country

[bronze shard]

good luck out there. things do be expensive

[deep meteor]

thx

[turbid fern]

Question why with the new Gen 7 Nascar stock car the schemes are not working or showing up at all?

[ancient hound]

Not sure if this is really modding but is there a better way to put automation engines into beamng cars

[frank cove]

They are under the body section. Kinda hard to find

[frank cove]

Yes. I think Fillman86 has a video on it on YT

[turbid fern]

Thanks

do you think a gt 1030 will get the job done?

[frank cove]

I’m not a computer guy tbh so I have no idea

[deep meteor]

k

[ancient hound]

found a similar video and it works great
