[torpid topaz]

the mod might provide a skin uv png, if not, import the dae into blender, find all the paintable body panels mesh and use their second uv map layer, and go to uv edit mode, ctrl a, and if the uv map looks like it could get a livery then in the uv tab hit export uv layout, with resolution of your desired size, or double it’s width if it looks oddly narrow

or it doesn’t even have a livery slot

[silver mural]

I know it's hard, that's why I'm asking here 😄 he probably has one of the best mods for this car 😄

[drowsy leaf]

just checked the mod, the currently shared version does NOT seem to have skin support so yeah you cant

[silver mural]

ok thanks I will try to do it according to your instructions

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @torpid topaz (current: #170 - 13)

[silver mural]

well, now I want to try to do it according to @torpid topaz and if it doesn't work I'll try to learn in that blender and unfortunately I'll make my own mod with that car. (I probably trust myself too much :D)

[deep meteor]

u bought the mod?

[sharp wigeon]

Nah

[deep meteor]

bruh

[sharp wigeon]

Once I get a job I will 😂

[outer hornet]

What should I add to my racing/tuner ecu?

[strange kettle]

Adjustable RPM limit maybe?

Also what I think was called adjustable RPM limit cut time

[outer hornet]

I already have that

[dense jungle]

downloaded the demo?

[sharp wigeon]

Is the demo version the same?

[dense jungle]

its a demo, so not exactly, it's at least got only a few configs

its the one on the repository at the very least, i don't know if the dynamo and the demo are within the same vehicle as i havent bought it

[fading gust]

what ever happened to mr. vermuelen coach anyway

seen it a couple times but it just disappeared for years

[vagrant pine]

here we go ig

[dense portal]

its long cancelled now

just got too repetitive then the ccf rework took over

[fading gust]

ohh damn that makes sense

[brazen cypress]

Can anyone help me use reshade?

[frank cove]

ProjectBeamNg.rally has a bunch of group B cars + stages

(I made it so I might be biased)

[odd ruin]

the pain

[covert totem]

that new road tool looks fire

[wet hemlock]

Opinions?

[stray ferry]

Dose anyone know how one can get the Porsche 930 mod (twixer, twix) without going to modl**d? Thanks four your time :)

[bleak folio]

i can send you it i have it from modl##d but its safe since i have it

[stray ferry]

ok thanks :)

[bleak folio]

wait 911 gt3rs or 930?

[stray ferry]

930

[bleak folio]

ok then wait

imma kill my pc rq

[bleak folio]

this one?

and yes im dowloading it rn

wish me free virus luck

go in dms

[spring zealot]

guys you know like maps is there any maps like nature and old broken roads were i drive plss im searching thiis so long

[quick crow]

just bc you have it doesn't mean its virus free. you realize that they can have a virus inside lua ingame? could still be an infostealer or whatever. For that reason you should only download repo approved mods because they get checked for that stuff

[covert totem]

dont download from modland bro

full of leaked mods and viruses

[stone horizon]

Im talking about not skins for cars i mean like new cars that are based off Group B rally. Really any Rally group works but I prefer B

[frank cove]

The pack features new parts and configs for all of the era correct cars as well as group 4 cars

[stone horizon]

What car would I use to make Neil Allports Rx7?

[frank cove]

I haven’t seen a good representation of the FA or FB RX7 in game

Or really any 2 door classic Japanese Sportscar

[stone horizon]

Im gonna work with the Project Rally parts to try and make cars from group B. Ill post pictures if I can make any

[frank cove]

You don’t even have to make em. They are there by default

The only ones missing are the very specialty cars

Like the Delta S4 and 206 T16 most notably

Oh and the RS200

[stone horizon]

Alr

[bleak folio]

Welp I have to many so it’s to late but I’ve stopped doing it

[covert totem]

no just uninstall them. simple

[bleak folio]

Im using them

And I need them

[quick crow]

may i ask how old you are

you don't really seem to get it

[covert totem]

you shouldnt

[bleak folio]

I’ve had them for about 1 years now

[bleak folio]

Old enough to work at bmw why?

[covert totem]

sure

[quick crow]

you just don't really seem any mature

[faint imp]

Yeah, vulnerabilities still exist. Please avoid downloading mods from external sites

[bleak folio]

Im under 18 maybe that’s why

[covert totem]

yeah so remove those modland mods

[bleak folio]

Well I had them for a year with no issues?

So shouldn’t it be to late?

[quick crow]

Well if any is infected it could mean a number of things. Viruses come in many different ways. Yes to some extent too late, but you could avoid it getting even worse.

[faint imp]

Just don't download new ones, stick to the repository 👍

[covert totem]

doesnt matter, you should remove them

i bet some of the ones you used are leaked

[lethal copper]

👍

[bleak folio]

I do

I downloaded them when I hadn’t found them in repo but I’ve learned to not do that anymore so now I just have the ones when I didn’t know it was virus loaded

[faint imp]

All good :)
And the ones you currently have might be safe, who knows unless you manually check each one. But yeah, just avoid those mods

[bleak folio]

But wouldn’t it mean my friend with a anti virus program should do something about them too?

[bleak folio]

I will

[faint imp]

No one should be getting mods from third party sites, including your friend. The reason the repository exists is because each mod that gets uploaded is checked and verified by the BeamNG team

[static crystal]

anyone know on how i can make the exhaust shake

[quick crow]

Antiviruses dont always work perfectly, especially if the virus is very new and not yet detected, so you aren't completely safe, just fiy

[wheat chasm]

guys anybody knows what happened Phaein's Passat B8 mod?

I can't find the forum page

[quick crow]

Jbeam editing, so it isn't as firmly attached

Also maybe selecting some stock engine mounts that move more

[rose thistle]

dumb question but is it againts the rules to pay someone to make/edit a mod

[high locust]

does any one have a good c10 mod i can use?

[glossy wraith]

is there any good wheel pack

like fr i really need it

[brazen cypress]

For trucks or cars

Or semi

[glossy wraith]

cars

[honest patio]

Currently working on a 1jz sound in beam, wanted to know what other people think of the sound. This is what I have so far.

[fallen hull]

Hi, I am looking for someone who can make me a map 200x100 meters, based on a scheme, video and Google maps. If you do map creating or know someone who does this DM me please.

[frank cove]

It would have to be paid for any level of quality likely at least 1000$ depending on exactly what you have in mind

[brazen cypress]

Then idk sry

[brazen cypress]

That sounds way off, 1k is crazy

[fallen hull]

bro $1k 😂

[frank cove]

Not at all

1: you are paying for experience not time

2: This project sounds like allot of modeling work. 50 hours minimum for the project. That’s 20$ an hour, not even good pay

[brazen cypress]

I would say more like 100$ or maybe 250 ar most if its something like west coast and you are using stock beamng props

[frank cove]

Have you made any maps?

[brazen cypress]

Yea one

[frank cove]

You should know then the effort that it takes to make a good map

[brazen cypress]

Its not that hard if you know what your doing

[frank cove]

Depends what you’re making and the expected quality

[brazen cypress]

For something with quality like west coast or east coast it would probably be like 250 max

[fallen hull]

I think you misunderstand the level of details i want. Just the road with signs on it. Want to practice before my driving exam.

[brazen cypress]

Now if you are buying models instead of beamng models it may become pricey

[frank cove]

Gotcha. I’d recommend just making it yourself then tbh

[fallen hull]

Or finding someone who can do it with a reasonable price, yeah

[frank cove]

Maybe x50 on your values chief. At least. Even reusing assets a map like ECUSA would take 200+ hours to make

[frank cove]

If it’s just a few roads it’ll be more valuable for you to just learn how to plonk roads down in the world editor

[brazen cypress]

Well depends on size but a map most likely wont go over 500 lol after that they would be better off not getting one at all

[frank cove]

And that is why no one commissions mods for games outside of corporations 🙂

There’s a massive disconnect between consumer and creator

MASSIVE

[brazen cypress]

Alot of people commission beamng mods lol

Even spending a few hundred on it

[frank cove]

Such as? I’ve never seen any personally

I’ve been approached a few times about commissions but have been lowballed lol

Particularly AC customers/mod companies don’t understand the 100x increase in complexity for a BeamNg car

[brazen cypress]

I don’t got a list, but i know some people who do small coms like parts and do cars, my friend is currently working on a foxbody and has spent 150$ on, also some people commission then the maker makes it public for cheaper, theres a lot of commission especially for beamng

[frank cove]

Is there not legal/licensing issues with that?

[brazen cypress]

Im in like 5 servers that do coms

[frank cove]

Getting paid to remake a trademarked item

[brazen cypress]

No, mainly because its online and not made buy a company and also people don’t care,

Most modders make stuff without licenses

[frank cove]

It’s still their trademarked item though. Games like Forza pay out of the ass for licensing

I get that the companies don’t care but that doesn’t make it legal

[brazen cypress]

Yes mainly because that has thousands of players who buy it and its a company

[brazen cypress]

No, i said modders don’t care not companys, companies like chevy would rather deal with a game like forza that will make them alot of money instead of 1 person making addons for a game that chevy wont make much k
Money on

[frank cove]

So it’s not legal.

It’s just not prosecuted

[brazen cypress]

Yep

Basically

You think people like royal renderings, roro, frix, hellish, beefy actually have licenses to sell thoes cars?

[frank cove]

No. But I also think they are dickheads for the most part for doing so 😂

• they are shitty mesh slaps most of the time

• they put a bad name on paid mods effecting those people who do it properly

[brazen cypress]

Not just them

Even other modders

Go ask them if they have the licenses

[frank cove]

In my experience 99% of public real car mods are trash

[frank cove]

Less of an issue if it’s free. Much less

[brazen cypress]

Or this https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1202011115949932575

Yes its free

But still he prob doesnt

[brazen cypress]

Most non free modders to lol

Anyways im going to bed

[frank cove]

It’s also not a Cadillac

It’s a Bruckell

[brazen cypress]

Still, same model

[frank cove]

GTA has been replicating cars for YEARS without issues

It’s fine so long as it has a different badge pretty much

Basically;

Paid mod with real badges; illegal

Free mod with real badges; gray area

Paid or free mod with fake badges; chill

(Provided the models are ethically sourced ofc)

[dense tangle]

and have minor differnces

[frank cove]

Even more chill if it’s visually different

[dense tangle]

yeas

[brazen cypress]

Gta cars are alot different than normal ones though

[frank cove]

Yeah

[brazen cypress]

Some modders that are actually worried about it list it as gravil or bruckell but when you actually get it it has the real badge

[brazen cypress]

I didnt say all

Now as I previously said i am going to rest now

[frank cove]

That’s just shady behavior lol

[brazen cypress]

I believe thats what dfa did but i havent used it in a while so i forgot

Well

[frank cove]

what’s DFA?

[brazen cypress]

H they have a option to replace it

[brazen cypress]

Makes the front end of the d series look like a chevy

[frank cove]

Gotcha I think I’ve seen that mod

Anyways TLDR;

Mod commissions are always more money than you think they are; provided you expect good/dev quality

Paid real car mods are sketchy and should probably be avoided

[hot locust]

@analog pollen sorry for the ping but the wagon tailgate on the lumiance has no bottom texture

also not sure if thats intentional or not but the hood flies open when i unlatch it

[drowsy leaf]

No DFA just has badges that can make you thing that it's a Chevy

Like they aren't Chevy badges and they aren't even the shape but from a few meters away they look like a Chevy

[static crystal]

it isnt some config edit?

because on the modded car im using it has zero play

[quick crow]

No, its all about how the jbeam of the car is. Nodes and beams define how the physics act, and for that those need to change

[deep meteor]

yoo is there a mod that adds the LS 400 bose suspension?

[narrow zinc]

I want to make a parts mod but... idk 3d modelling nor jbeam

[barren magnet]

learn?

[outer hornet]

Anyone know the name of a mod that adds TONS of lore friendly company skins to all vehicles?

[barren magnet]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/fictional-trucking-and-service-skin-pack.18871/

[outer hornet]

Not the mod, the mod I am thinking about had extra skins for almost ALL vehicles in the game

[barren magnet]

thats the only one i know of

[narrow zinc]

ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN PAY FOR A FUNCTIONAL EXCAVATOR

[cyan drum]

nowhere

[narrow zinc]

I KNOW RIP

[cyan drum]

turn off caps

[narrow zinc]

but why

why will no one make this

i know its possible

[cyan drum]

because it's niche and very complex

[quick pagoda]

and pointless

[narrow zinc]

thanks for the insight

[wind raptor]

are there any good ford ambulance mods

or good firetruck mods

[outer hornet]

Yeah, I have been searching everywhere but can't find the one I am looking for, I had it on a previous install but not anymore. I am 100% sure I got it from the repo. 90% of the brands were actual ingame brands.

Nvm

It was actually this mod

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[barren magnet]

👍

[latent ivy]

how would I go about turning this into a heightmap image that works wit beamng

[pale ravine]

How is this coming?

Does anyone know a safe place to get the 1958 Apache mod from?

[late palm]

Its not

[rich lake]

i feel like people crap all over modland but sometimes its actually nice

some creators actually use it to publish their work

and as long as your vigilant with ads and use ublock origin or abp your fine with those

and as long as you scan everything you download from there with virustotal then your chilling

worldofmods yeah that sucks butt

but modland isnt really that horrible if you think about it

it has its kinks but the forums does as well

[outer hornet]

Is it possible to make flatfoot shifting with the vehicle controller?

[quick plover]

is anyone working on derby mods?

[drowsy leaf]

Yes but the majority are reuploaded content from forums, repo, leaked paid mods, or "revamps" of those mods which barely add anything

[rich lake]

yes

also true

[covert totem]

https://tenor.com/view/opinion-gif-20305030

[rich lake]

ok

[pale ravine]

oh no! What happened? I was looking forward to a modern Cadillac

[velvet shadow]

anyone as a like to a fun crawler / truck that flex like crazy ?

[gentle agate]

I will give no hints as to what this will be.

[latent ivy]

I'll back you up on this. I've came across some great mods on there as well with no issues. Just people don't be utilizing common sense and due diligence when it comes to downloading shit to begin with.

[dense jungle]

Why would they pick modland over the repo, or the forums if it’s a real car

The official advice in #mods-faq is to avoid 3rd party sites, that includes modland

why is that so hard to follow

[quick crow]

yes it would be with some lua, bc everything pretty much is possible with lua

[tropic kindle]

@karmic crescent how is the G80 doing so far?

[wheat yarrow]

yall know any good irl drift car mods ?🦖

[hollow gale]

bx series

[late palm]

havent really had motivation to work on it

[zenith seal]

The weapons dont visibly show up and the sight.

[cyan drum]

using common sense and dilligence is the reason why people avoid modland in the first place lmao

[pearl crater]

is this how you add/multiply properties in jbeam?

can anyone recomend any rim mods

i want nicer wheels

[onyx stump]

any volvo c30 mods?

[latent ivy]

bruh. this is about making mods. not requesiting ones

[quick crow]

Not really, this one is about discussing mods

This one is for help with making mods:
https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/710083442834145280

[latent ivy]

no one ever gives mod names here really

not very often.

and google exists too

[frank cove]

We also discuss concepts, ideas and things tbf

But yeah true

[drowsy leaf]

he isnt requesting mods?

hes just asking if theres any volvo c30 mods

and for making mods thertes uh #modding-general

for showcasing theres #1112130140160413706

[civic sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKpyPdP2_nU This would be insane if someone made a mod car based after this and put it into the game

Someone should really do that

[wheat yarrow]

does the jbx100 mod still work?

[hollow gale]

If you have the coupe.zip from the forums yes it still works

You need the old bx for it

[wheat yarrow]

oh

[latent ivy]

theoretically, if I released this, would you download?

There are a fuck ton of things wrong with it like the ground doesnt line up with what beamng thinks it should be.
and the distance between all the locations is massive.

apart from that, if I made this into a somewhat functioning map, would you consider it?

if anyones interested, ill give you the height map

[hollow gale]

Looks dope

Really fun for offroading im guessing

[sick stream]

does anyone know about any mods that make the game look more realistic at night?

i hate how bright the sky is

[hollow gale]

Use world editor

[celest sundial]

what exactly is it that messed up the camera on older d series mods?

[wheat yarrow]

yall know any good paid truck mods? been looking

[celest sundial]

the DFA pack is really good

[wheat yarrow]

i thought that mod was broken 💀

[celest sundial]

only parts of it are, like the custom cabs

most of it works properly

[wheat yarrow]

oh alr

[olive spire]

The cabs work too

[celest sundial]

the avalanche one doesn't

at least for me, pretty sure I have the newest version

[olive spire]

The camera is broken so pretty much unusable, but the actual vehicle is fine

[celest sundial]

oh well yeah that's what I meant

[olive spire]

There’s a fixed version somewhere

But I don’t want to shine light on anyone who leaked it

[brazen cypress]

Anyone know where u can find rhe wheel lift thing for d series

[rough iris]

This looks badass! But would it have any real life use or is it just for destruction? Seems a bit big, even for an australian bull bar

[golden marsh]

theoretically if you lived out dingo woop woop Western Australia, could be practical-ish but a standard 5 post bullbar would do that fine

[quick pagoda]

that just how the game is

[latent ivy]

This is indeed a steering wheel moment

[lament junco]

Hello Modders! I was wondering if you guys know how to revert textures to textures 1.0 (from 1.5) or alter the files to not have the 1.5 additional parts in them. cheers

Does anyone know of a trailer similar to these in beam, other then the bagtrailer. There doesn't seem to be any regular car trailers, 90% of stuff is gooseneck, or deck over wheel, so they're way too tall.

Hey guys im new to modding where can I find a good modding website that doesn’t try to give me a virus

[thick niche]

[drowsy leaf]

[wooden pasture]

is there a audi rs6 mod that works?

cuz every mod i find doesnt work

[cyan drum]

no

[lament junco]

Cheers, does this perm apply?

And follow up do you have access to the old texture pngs or know where i could get them? If not its all good

id recommend remapping where your side skirt stickers are to fit the uv better

that way theyre not being blocked by the plastic of the skirt

[north yacht]

Kinda having trouble with that ngl, the uv i got is the one for the nomral etkc, no race version. That i know off

[barren magnet]

yeah its gonna be a guess and check deal

[obtuse jasper]

First time doing a livery

[barren magnet]

im not a fan of the way beam UV’s typically are, in LFS they typically have an overprint so you can see where your boundaries are

eventually going to try and map this livery to bx when i get my kit ported

[thick niche]

just load the model in blender and show the uv wireframe and overlay it on the skin uv

or if your using a vanilla car just use the skin uv and overlay it as its wireframed

[deft ingot]

guys

is there a e46 mod on the forums?

[north yacht]

This is genius! Im at work rn. But could i ping ya later for more help?

[cold pewter]

nope

[dusk gust]

can i get a reccomenation for a 2000-2005 hatchback mod?Generally any shitbox-looking hatch will work(think of something like the hyundai getz or the astra,you know,2000s shitbox styling)

[drowsy leaf]

hirochi sunburst hatchback
hirochi mistral (late 90s)
etk C series (tho its not the highest of quality)

[dusk gust]

sunburst hatchback is relatively modern(and i already have it),i dont know about the mistral though...

[drowsy leaf]

its 90s and has a bit of tuning
then the cseries is a 1st gen A3/1-series mix so

[dusk gust]

..is this intentional?

[drowsy leaf]

what is intentional?

[dusk gust]

the fact that only ONE reverse beam lights up

[drowsy leaf]

you are american i pressume

[dusk gust]

no,but i just assumed it had two reverse beams

..due to the fact that theres another identical beam that uh,

does nothing.

[drowsy leaf]

welcome to the beautiful world of cheap cars then
even if the other one is modeled, its probably just meant to be blank and the author just mirrored the right tailight

many european cars still just have a single reverse light and on the other side have nothing or a reflector

[verbal kelp]

Don't forget rear fog lamps

[drowsy leaf]

^^

[dusk gust]

that is correct,but usually when i see a car with a single reverse light,it usually only has ONE bulb to save costs

..this one just has another one casually doing nothing

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well the way mods are made you just model and texture one side of the lights and then just mirror the mesh

and the author just probably forgot to remove it

[dusk gust]

fair enough,yeah

[fossil latch]

For me when i put number or smt on its just a white circle

[drowsy leaf]

@dusk gust also forgot the gavril vertex na2, not a hatch but its one of the best 00s and has a LOT of tuning

then docros late 90s Arimas can also be tuned into 2000s carse to a decent degree

[dusk gust]

got the vertex already,its a great mod though

i still havent tried all the configurations yet

[drowsy violet]

Yeah, left taillight has the fog lamp, right taillight has the reverse

[drowsy leaf]

shouldnt the glass be tinted red?

[drowsy violet]

Technically yes, but for stylistic purposes it's white on both sides

[fossil latch]

can somebody help me?

[drowsy leaf]

what a good way to market " i couldnt be asked to paint 2 headlight glasses" trol

[drowsy leaf]

ask a question first

[fossil latch]

If i want to put the stickers down in the livery editor it doesnt put it down instead i can only see a white circle if i move my cursor on the car

if you want i can screenshare it to you

[drowsy violet]

mfw mitsubishi didn't even bother to put the fog lamp in the taillight assembly

[drowsy leaf]

mod car?

[fossil latch]

Isnt mod car , normal D series

[drowsy leaf]

you arent supposed to use the decal editor that way

[fossil latch]

Tell me

[drowsy leaf]

go to the garage

there theres an actual UI for it

[fossil latch]

?

[drowsy leaf]

its in the main menu

[fossil latch]

found it

How do i get those stickers?

@drowsy leaf

[drowsy leaf]

click on the circle

a menu props up to show the available ones

[fossil latch]

nvm

i got it ty

[dusk gust]

oh yeah,look at that

great mod by the way,i wasnt expecting to be in this quality

[hollow gale]

2000 tuning vibes

[dusk gust]

the ONLY thing,and i mean the ONLY thing im missing here is paint customizability

[drowsy leaf]

yes thats the point

[hollow gale]

yipi

[dusk gust]

something like a two tone(roof style) or some stripes would've been really nice

hm,i wonder if i can do it myself..

[quasi ivy]

Which good Car mods are there for career with good pricing?

[dusk gust]

there is the AW astro which specificly had an update for career mode actually

[strange kettle]

I think there’s a fix for the broken glass somewhere in its thread

[dusk gust]

it doesnt have openable doors but the model is great and its customizability is not that bad

[quasi ivy]

OK i'll try that Mod then

[dusk gust]

its going to be cheap by the way,even though it was adjusted

..its an MK2 golf,what do you expect

[true oxide]

hi chat

so i have a predicament, im trying to find the old Z06 corvette

seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTEg88mdtuk

but i looked at 2Fast, and its been taken down

why is this? its one of my favorite mods

[thick niche]

its on the website that ends with land

[true oxide]

im trying to get it without going there but okay

[latent ivy]

Can you not say the actual name?

[true oxide]

nope

[latent ivy]

Oh okay.

[true oxide]

word is banned here and in the forums

[dusk gust]

well,it kind of makes sense but at the same time doesnt

[true oxide]

who even made this mod

[thick niche]

i think its one of agents old mods

[true oxide]

its because mods are stolen from the forums and put on there

[dusk gust]

on one hand you got the fact that its a very sketchy website,but on the other hand,cant people just..

yes it is

[true oxide]

which agent

[thick niche]

you might be thinking of dw's corvette then

[true oxide]

go watch the video homedawg

[thick niche]

because the one he posted isn't pbr, and doesn't have any door openings

[dusk gust]

oh,thats great to know,i was looking for a higher quality corvette

[thick niche]

well me and you consider "good" two entirely different things

[dusk gust]

..is it going to be lore friendly by any means?

[thick niche]

look up Dw corvette, you'll be much happier

[limpid tusk]

I tried the vehicle editor in the world editor, and came up with these, the covit race monsters ;>)

[thick niche]

i'll rarely release anything outside my person use due to the fact that nearly 99% anything i start, i never finish lol.

[true oxide]

also the corvette in the mod is a C5. not a C6

[dusk gust]

..cant really find it

[thick niche]

gotta use your eyes, i cannot link you to it.

dw corvette beamng (google search)

[thick niche]

There is no good c5 corvettes at all currently.

[true oxide]

ok

[thick niche]

trust me i've looooooked everywhere

you can find c6 and c7 and c8 everywhere but not c5

they got no love for the goat vette.

[kind crystal]

Best lore acurate mods?

commet bellow pls

[frank cove]

Hirochi CCF is up near the top. Classic engine expansion pack is fantastic too. As is all of the trackfab cars if you are into offroad stuff

Carbonworks F4 is good

TAZ Pack

Gavril Vertex is unique and has allot of configs

Ibishu Kashira is good for similar reasons to the vertex

and any paid lore car is pretty damn good as well

(Besides maybe the Patriot. I have heard mid reviews on it personally. But I don’t have it)

[celest sundial]

it's ok just not much to it

[drowsy leaf]

Go on the repository and sort by top rated, that had the highest rated stuff on the repo which generally are very good lore friendly mods

Charger meshslap N°728269

[wild grotto]

im sure he got charged for that mod aswell

[gaunt wyvern]

Not another one 😭😭😭

[amber stump]

No 😉👍

[dreamy arrow]

This one has a good amount of customisation, and a lot of police parts along with CVPI lightbars

if only car crush physics in beamng were not crap

you will crawl over a car with any monster truck and it will barely deform

[summer kiln]

just checking, 0.33 broke like all mods right

I tried to run 0.33 with my typical mods and couldn't drive any car, even ones i thought were unaffected by mods

[frank cove]

That’s pretty realistic. For irl monsterjam shows they take out all the windows and structural rigidity so they crush easier

[frank cove]

Nope. Shouldn’t effect any that are well made mods

[drowsy leaf]

check javis classic engines and bx remake

they have some sort of custom lua that just outright prevents the game from loading

[summer kiln]

I have about 97-ish mods downloaded and having them all on at once errors when loading cars

[celest sundial]

my game worked with them, just vehicles using the engines said they were broken

[hardy valley]

Does anybody know what they changed with the frames on the update? Because certain mods are broken and mine that I worked on on the frame. I had to redo it to fix it.

[dreamy arrow]

this will take a bit to learn

are the roads also not rendering in for you????

why did i ask that
i can clearly see the screenshot

[rain ruin]

Hey guys, Wanted to ask yall a quick question. I've wanted to mod this game for a while, But wondered where to start? Would making a modded level be a better starting point than going straight for a car? I have modded other games before, Mostly small unity games though. So I was wondering if anyone had a opinion on which is a better route to take when you're new to modding BeamNG?

[abstract mango]

if your end goal is to make cars, start by making simple parts for already existing cars to get the hang of it

[rain ruin]

Ah okay, Thanks for the info! Makes sense. Funnily enough the same thing I told people in a another game I modded, I should probably act on the stuff I preach 😂

[hollow oar]

I am crazy about the state of Hawaii because of the game TDU that I played a lot as a kid. The road tool was recently updated, I have modeling skills, I think I can make houses. I really want to make an island in the game. On this island, they plan to recreate 1:1 several areas, including part of the city. I also want to make a highway and create crazy interchanges like in life. What do you think about the idea of ​​another huge map that will most likely be abandoned and never released, hahaha

[stoic gust]

can someone help me

[visual juniper]

Anyone remember what the Eaton Roadranger 18 transmission gearbox mod was called?

[flint steppe]

Anyone have an idea of the best in-game brand analogue to Toyota? I was thinking Soliad. I really want to put my Blender skills to work and make a vehicle inspired by my favorite truck.

[kind cargo]

Anyone know how to properly use the new road editor?

[bronze shard]

soliad is firmly american. hirochi probably would be the closest suitable vanilla option unless you are considering using an american brand as a rebadge option and skipping making the jdm version entirely. you could probably ask about using the arima brand from the mod author, that would be far more appropriate

[bronze shard]

you need to provide details. nobody has the time to both tease details from you and then help

[exotic solstice]

are there any parachute mods for cars? i think it would be pretty cool for you to drop cars out of a plane or is it just not possible?

[tropic ledge]

Looking good

[livid oasis]

I tried the new Road Architect Tool, and the textures are glitchy and broken. So I will, at least for now, continue to make roads the traditional way

I'm also thinking of making a Saudi Arabian map, perfect for Arab driving!

[livid oasis]

Drifting I meant!

[frank cove]

It’s a mod brand and iirc the creator is pretty picky about it (as they should be) but Arima is the lore Toyota as it sits

[lament latch]

am i stupid or is the barrier to entry to map making really high?

why does torque3d not pull assets from a central location

instead of having to mount ALL assets used within the map folder

you have to copy any content you want to use to every map? and fix all paths?

[frank cove]

Nah it’s pretty high. There’s allot that needs to be done before you can even start making your map tbh

[frank cove]

I’m not sure the technical reason why but most assets will have to be in the map file itself yes. Though there are some common assets too like racing flags, barriers and signs

iirc there’s a tool to do it semi automatically for you

[lament latch]

import stock assets to a new map folder?

i mean, theres gotta be gigs upon gigs of assets, and you wont know if you want them until you can see them properly installed

[frank cove]

Yes there is, however, there’s also a tool to automatically cull unused assets after you are finished 🙂

3rd party tool I should mention

But it works really well

[lament latch]

are you able to share the name of said tool?

[frank cove]

https://github.com/alexkleinwaechter/BeamNG_LevelCleanUp

[lament latch]

appreciate it

[frank cove]

This tool has both mentioned things

[frank cove]

No worries. Best of luck brother

[lament latch]

now how about height map generation? it looks like you have to have a full heightmap PAINTED OVER with all your roads/features predefined

at least thats how the stock maps do it, which seems nuts to me too

instead of painting textures with colored diffuse maps, you have to rely on the base heightmap for all your features?

[frank cove]

You can use the terrain tool in game to edit the height however you please

And you can paint manually if the map isn’t PBR. Personally I upgrade my maps to PBR very late in the process

So I paint with a diffuse map, export the terrain when I’m done and then use photoshop to color and texture those individual layers and merge them into one overall color map for PBR

[lament latch]

oh, that sounds interesting

i wonder how the devs do it nowadays

if they are starting in pbr

editing maps using pbr has to be a hassle

[frank cove]

Not sure. I think there is a way to have the PBR terrains work as a pseudo diffuse map if you just make each texture a solid color.

Not sure I haven’t experimented with it

[frank cove]

Yeah it can be when updating already PBR stuff. If you’re making a new parking lot where it used to be grass for example your parking lot will just be green until you manually update the texture image with your photo editing program of choice

[lament latch]

so besides pbr materials and copying assets, what else needs to be done in prep? or what else is unusually difficult? until we got this new road architect tool, roads were quite tricky too

and i suppose mesh roads are obsoleted now?

i come from source, EVERYTHING you need to make a map with stock assets is handled within the editor

[frank cove]

Previously I would have said roads yeah. But I think now it’s just general texturing and retexuring to give your map that final bit of separation from vanilla assets.

That and making forests. Those are just mindless and time consuming 😂

But out of world editor work wise it’s texturing and any file editing you need to do

[frank cove]

They still have a purpose but certainly less useful now

[lament latch]

what is the purpose?

[frank cove]

If you need a solid surface to drive on that’s not terrain

IE a bridge or something

[lament latch]

ah

well road architect has mesh generation for bridges

[frank cove]

I used it for a mineshaft floor recently

[frank cove]

Can they be curved? I haven’t messed with em much tbh

[lament latch]

left to right no

[frank cove]

But to your credit mesh roads are mostly obsolete by now

[lament latch]

are there any other necessary 3rd party tools?

qol stuff i guess

[frank cove]

Notepad++ (or any file editor) for things like changing your map name, adding spawn points and a few other small but needed things

Blender is good too if you want to make custom assets or modify ones in game.

But it’s completely not needed

[lament latch]

and i guess you dont use something to generate heightmaps? you just use the template island and craft from there?

[frank cove]

I previously have either used one of the vanilla height maps modified or just nothing.

A good option to make your own is L3DT

I have only experimented briefly but there’s tons of parameters to adjust to your preferences

[drowsy karma]

hello does anyone know thow to do vray lights - realstic lights in my vehicles?

[lament latch]

do you happen to be in progress on a map now?

[frank cove]

Finishing up an update for my map Xero Parklands today but it’s mostly mission related. Otherwise not really

[hot elbow]

I should try making a map for mine and my friends’ BeamMP server, none of us can agree on which map to use lmao

I already tried importing a height map from some website to use for a map, but it had lots of errors in it

[amber stump]

Yours is way better then mine which is why I don't want to release it in the first place.... there are to many things to be worked on which make it incomplete. You probably have been working on it for over 1 year or 2 compare to me that have been working on it for only 2 month

[lament latch]

is there an asset browser in the world editor? or a 3rd party tool for that? incredibly lengthy process to select meshes for the forest editor only for them not to be what you want

[frank cove]

Asset browser is in the world editor yeah

[lament latch]

oh whoops, hadnt found it yet

does some vegetation not have tree sway by default?

[frank cove]

Not sure, can be adjusted with wind value though iirc

[amber stump]

But I do like the fact that some of the things we're using are the same xd

[tired raptor]

hey a quick question if someone knows, i cant find the east coast terrain textures in file explorer, how do i find them? the macro textures to be more exact (i was directed to ask here too)

[frank cove]

Open the level zip folder

how do i do that

[frank cove]

go to the content/levels folder

[tired raptor]

thank you so much man

[last reef]

Hey guys does anyone here have a good free fj cruiser mod that I could have (not the fj40 the other one)

If so pls send me a dm

[lament latch]

@frank cove I checked out xero parklands, how did you even do the track sections? When I look at hirochi raceway, the kerbs and even the track itself is all static props

I guess created in 3d like blender

[frank cove]

Race Track Builder. Its mainly for Assetto Corsa but works for anything really

Its a 50$ program iirc

[lament latch]

Oh, then exported in a useable format and plopped down as static meshes in beam?

[frank cove]

Correct

Imported to blender exported as a DAE

[thick niche]

race track builder?! thats paid now? i use to use it back when richards burn rally was a hot

Yes it is

[lament latch]

So kerb creation is a feature of race track builder too then?

[frank cove]

Makes sense though since lots of sim companies use it to make paid products

[frank cove]

Yes

[lament latch]

Do you do terrain in there too at all then? I'd imagine sculpting terrain around it once imported into beam to be a chore

[thick niche]

does this export materials

[frank cove]

Yes

[frank cove]

Yes. Though I usually apply beam ones because they look better. Mapping is thankfully compatible (hell for all I know Beam Devs use RTB for their tracks too 🤷‍♂️)

The kerb and track textures from Hirochi are suspiciously very applicable lol

[thick niche]

the way i been doing is it pulling api data from the blender plugin from google earth and then remeshing the data from it. I wonder if it'd be easier to do in RTB

[frank cove]

Probably would

Though with the new BeamNG road builder if you could make a custom kerb model it would be at least 75% as good as RTB

[lament latch]

That'd be a nice feature, not currently implemented though

[lament latch]

Do you ever stream your mapping in your server or elsewhere? I like watching people who know what they're doing work lol

Helps me understand processes if I can't reverse engineer

And entertaining

[gaunt wyvern]

Man why did beam move my mod to the configs category? I dropped a mods pack with Configs as a complete mod…

[frank cove]

Not yet, but when I start my next project I plan on making some videos and streams

[frank cove]

I think even if new parts are added its a config mod still. Only counts as something else when brand new cars are added

Not 100% sure

[gaunt wyvern]

Nah my last mod was front page, I’m reaching out to see why now.

[left dagger]

Hi, in this channel you can send mod ideas for someone to make if they want? models etc.

[frank cove]

So long as you are collaborative and not demanding

IE don't say "Someone NEEDS to make a Miata mod"

Say like; I think an NA Miata mod would be neat, does anyone know of one or want to help me make one?

[left dagger]

ah okay thanks I have several ideas of cars like Volkswagen Jetta mk2, Land Rover defender 1970, Mercedes Unimog I don't know how nobody made any of those mods at least the Land Rover being such a well known car

for a mod

[cyan drum]

god no

[fallen zephyr]

dang ok trying to make one look even worse

know of any mods that can give me a stupid amount of lift?

[violet cosmos]

So, how difficult would it be to make a stock version of the Dunekicker? I want to make a modern D-series out of it. Possible for a first timer?

[cyan drum]

not at all

a road legal truck and a trophy truck are vastly different other than looks

[barren magnet]

youd have to create a whole frame, underbody, separate panels, bed (you could sort of modify d series bed)

interior (genuinely the worst part of modeling)

[quick shale]

at that point it would be easier to make bodypanels and put them on dunekicker

oh nvm im stupid

[barren magnet]

he wants to make the dunekicker a regualr truck

oops

you sent that as i sent that

[quick shale]

yeah now i get it, i thought that he wants to turn d series into dunekicker lol

[violet cosmos]

That's already possible with prerunner parts lol

[fallen zephyr]

anyone got a mod for lift kits?

[lethal swift]

I second this

Love to see something like this happen

[primal marsh]

@onyx dirge Could you check dms please, i got a question to ask you

[wet quest]

this has been hapening for a while. i have the core mod required and cleared my cache, and still have the broken texture wheels. just the wheels

[bold flame]

This has been happening with several people. I don't know why, but just know that this is a common problem

[onyx dirge]

99.9% of the time it's not the game itself that's at fault

Some core causes are

• The mod uses a texture that was removed from the game
• The mod replaces the materials file of vanilla content, which overwrites the default materials, which essentially makes the materials stuck on an old version, while the content continues to update, causing mismatches and missing materials
• The mod replaces the model files of vanilla content, which means the materials get updated, but the model doesn't, causing mismatches and missing materials

It's a common problem because modders don't prepare for updates sometimes 😄

[upper shell]

Dear God, I searched everywhere and am glad that there are others who feel the same and identified the problem

Also, uncompressed files making the game update "patching" much longer due to a large delta. The 0.33 update patches 49GB files, which also put a strain on the SSD/HDD

[kindred fulcrum]

yep! although I've gone back and re-tested and determined that the speedup I saw may have been caused by Windows caching the files in my gigantic RAM

although I do note that mods, which generally use the same format/unpacker, are usually compressed... but not assets 🙃

https://www.beamng.com/threads/compress-asset-files-properly-to-save-data-and-speed-loading.93001/

(I submitted a request and a dev replied)

if you want, you can enable NTFS compression, which won't compress quite as well as ZIP and it'll introduce a severe bottleneck... but it'll work 😅

[upper shell]

Where is the script for compressing beam assets?

In the comment section someone said uncompressed saves CPU, they might use file compression as an example since file decompression requires much less CPU power

[onyx dirge]

Yeah I hate the patching that has to be done for BeamNG
We get a hotfix where they changed 5 lines of text, and end up making our drives work for several minutes patching upwards of 40gb sometimes

The drive I have BeamNG on is the loudest in my PC, despite being one of the newest ones

The CPU argument is an interesting one,
I heard from game devs that worked on games 25 years ago saying ZIP compression was more beneficial than not

[upper shell]

The dev's reply was

Also, compression can make life harder for Steam's update delta generation system, potentially leading to larger downloads on each update (a possible concern in countries where data caps exist).

However anecdotally the opposite is true apparently

[onyx dirge]

Just tested

[upper shell]

Decompression zip barely consumes CPU compared to compressing

When a game gets smaller, the data downloaded gets smaller as well, right?

[onyx dirge]

I don't know specifically how downloading from scratch works on Steam, or if it's been measured how large the patching is when compressed vs uncompressed

I did load WCUSA beforehand too, so things were already cached in both load times

Curious about Italy now

Interesting
That's within a margin of error, and prone to me clicking the stop button at different times, etc

[upper shell]

How about gridmap

[upper shell]

The conclusion is that zip compression may decrease loading time significantly or increase loading time slightly

[upper shell]

The most benefit of compression is not loading time, but drastically reduced disk usage and, more importantly, disk wear.

[sage axle]

i have been trying to build a skidplate for the bx series and i cant seem to find where the dds texture is in the files at all, any idea where it could be?

based off the miata underbody chassis brace kit

[fossil mason]

and it still runs? no issues?

i would guess that it would load slower since the game would now have to uncompress things

[kindred fulcrum]

most of the CPU time is spent parsing the assets anyway, decompression makes up a very small part of it. in my tests, when CPU bound, it was roughly equal (within a tolerance of ~10%, which was the overall error anyway)

note: I'm using an AMD CPU, which are unusually well-suited for decompression (too long to explain here) but Intel CPUs might do slightly worse

and of course, file compression significantly speeds up disk-bottlenecked computers (like mine 😅)

[kindred fulcrum]

no issues. As long as the zip files use the DEFLATE algorithm and conform to gzip specifications, it will work

I used an extra long 256-byte buffer to enhance the compression and it worked flawlessly... but it does take a WHILE to compress those assets 😅

note that mod zip files are almost always compressed and they work just fine on the same code

overall, I support the developer's decision to keep the assets uncompressed, because I'm a programmer and I know how painful it is when a user thinks they understand your software better than you 😅... but as a guy with Not Much Storage Space I do wish that they were compressed

in general, modern games will compress their assets because parsing the files takes much more CPU anyway and you might as well save the disk space (see: RDR2, Overwatch, Barotrauma, Just Cause, etc), UNLESS your game engine doesn't support it (ie. Unity)

(some games even keep the assets compressed while they're in the GPU, which is pretty nuts)

(also note: it took FOREVER to compress those files, I have an overclocked 7900X3D and it took like ten minutes on all cores)

patching times are mostly affected by the size of the file, because if Steam needs to patch a chunk in the middle of a 2GB zip, it's going to have to overwrite the second half of the zip even if the data was not changed

the worst offender is Foxhole, which stores all of its assets in a single uncompressed 17GB file 😭

[near aurora]

Sorry if it's been asked but has anyone else been having issues with the Hirochi CCF mod since the 0.33 update?

I couldn't find a way to get to them. Most of the google results on the same topic says they're locked behind encrypted sound banks

[dusk gust]

took a little search in the files for a minute and,well,i dont know much about this one

cant find them either,so it might be true.

[coarse sun]

Is modland trustworthy?

[barren magnet]

no

[coarse sun]

Alright

Is there any way I can get realistic cars?

[dense jungle]

The forums

[fervent olive]

How do you rotate the new junctions?

its just stuck like this

[hallow scroll]

Is there a way to rotate which way north is for a map?

[lyric pine]

does anyone know how to code a compression brake or exhaust brake for the d series and the md series

[pallid lynx]

@frank kelp Your carbonworks f4s engine doesn't have any sound

[pallid lynx]

oh

[kind cargo]

hey anyone know why my roads look like this?

[kind cargo]

like how do i get them to look similar to this?

also can i make a Left hand drive road easily with the road architect?

[hardy valley]

What do you guys think about this?

[dusk gust]

has the same energy as a roblox avatar you'd find in 2014

[boreal shell]

hi folks, ive been playing beamng for a while and am only now trying the track editor out for the first time, but was curious about something, the moment the editor loaded first time i can rotate around with the mouse but i cant seem to zoom in or out at all, naturally i tried the mouse wheel, certain keys in combination with moving the mouse and/or scroll wheel, but i cannot seem to find anyway at all to zoom the camera out, and the editor is essentially stuck at a very close zoom which i can only imagine is going to make building a track neat to impossible
im sorry if this question is not suitable for here, but i was directed here so thought to ask anyway

if its possible to move the camera away just a little bit it might be better

[dusk gust]

maybe you can try asking it in #game-discussion-1 since this isnt really a mod thing and thats a far more active channel,you would get an answer way faster

[boreal shell]

i already got told not to ask

you know what nevermind, thanks anyway

[dusk gust]

ah,alright

[copper bane]

so how does one properly place roads with the road architect? whenever I place the roads on another surface it just gets overlapped so I try painting asphalt but it doesn't really work all too well, there's no collision. I know I'm missing something here but I'm not entirely sure what

[supple timber]

should be something in the docs, they updated them for the new road architect https://documentation.beamng.com/world_editor/tools/road_architect/

[copper bane]

ah ty

[vital folio]

So I downloaded 2-3 T-Series chassis and drivetrain improvement mods, and some off-road wheel and tires mods. When I select a twinsteer chassis, only the front-front wheel has an option for the "Heavy Steel" wheels, while the front-rear has no option like that, and way less options in general. Any way I can fix it?

hey how do i make a map with my friend?

[olive bone]

annyone got some good range rover/g65 mods? aswell for some crazy fast cars? and some fun cars to drive? willing to pay

[nova kernel]

this has 110% already been done but 1100CI V8 MD series

[ashen path]

In the new road architect. Is there a way to add asphalt material to the road, or is it just for placing decals?

[oak lava]

does anyone know of a tutorial that shows how to modify audio files? i simply want to transfer one engines audio to another

[ashen path]

same issue here

[kind cargo]

use material painter, i figured it out by just testing out the other tools

just paint the ground under the road

[ashen path]

Makes sense but why would they make it so difficult. Lets say you are making a long freeway and you have to paint it.

[kind cargo]

yeah idk

[olive bone]

is it just 1 single car?

[spark delta]

Does anyone know the widefap mod?

[barren magnet]

yes

its also early in development

[shut jungle]

me too, the screen is not working, like it tells me to click on it to navigate but the touch screen won t respond. if someone knows the problem please help us

[barren magnet]

if you checked the thread you’d know it’s being fixed

there was an issue with a lua line that changed

[barren magnet]

#1108282796809650197 message

[stiff lark]

Repo got a picture cap now?

[mossy relic]

shift+c and then use wasd to move

and for some reason it starts to follow the path you are creating

[lament latch]

If you do some poking around in official maps, you'll see all their ground textures are baked into a single material that's painted across the entire map. It's awful.

[ashen path]

I know but I don't think they used this tool.

[barren magnet]

yeah because some people load their pages up with 4k photos and it’s straining on the server

[near aurora]

It's just straight up not loading for me

It either spawns in with no physics, or doesn't spawn and just crashes the game

[stiff lark]

:V. That suck.

[tired raptor]

does anyone know why when i use the road architect and make a t-junction, save the level, and rejoin the sidewalks are gone?

[copper bane]

is there like a simple way to not have the road come out as this? I tried painting it to asphalt the last time but then it didn't really work either because the car kept falling through so I'm probably missing a setting or whatever

tried looking in the documentation but it doesn't look like there's anything that really speaks about anything like this

[clear urchin]

Today I learned something I'm sure everyone here already knows. Modding is hard.

[lament latch]

the ground model on the material you're painting with needs to be set to some variation of asphalt

[young zenith]

ETK I-series,hopper(i4) or Covet engine ?

gonna use a Piccolina transaxle prob

[barren magnet]

pigeon race 4cyl

the only way

covet model sucks, hopper’s is too big

[young zenith]

think imma go for ETK I6

[proud granite]

[sly cosmos]

Prepping for the PA Halloween update.

[spark harness]

anyone gotten beammp to work on linux? the guides i've found either haven't worked or couldn't be followed bc the apps they use are dead

[livid oasis]

I have two problems with the Road Architect Tool. 1: The textures are broken and appear and disappear in sections 2: The terrain shape does not save. Then I save the level and reload it, it goes back to original. I will send a screenshot if needed.

[livid oasis]

*When I meant

[fallen zephyr]

vroom

[hardy valley]

It was a wide body kit that I made.

[restive steppe]

[daring flicker]

[pure sequoia]

[loud needle]

are there any mods to make the logging trailers more filled than normally?

the non modded ones are empty, lots of place for more logs

[tired raptor]

does anyone know why exactly these textures are missing? i have imported all the textures in the ec buldings folder fixed it

[mossy relic]

unfortunetly

[quick sparrow]

Any good real pickup mod actually on the repo ?

[cedar yarrow]

Hi somone know if i can play multiplayer on gforce now?

[solid rapids]

pretty sure you can't
does it even let you install stuff from the in game repo let alone stuff from 3rd party sites

Anyone know why the train tracks are white?

[latent grove]

Why does the hirochi ccf touchscreen not work anymore?

[cyan drum]

because it's broken

[latent grove]

😭

[rough iris]

I made a little something!
As expected, the MD's short flatbed looks so good on the D-series!

[celest sundial]

almost like it was made for it

[junior basin]

Needs eventually some adjust on the sides or maybe a more lifted suspension

Like that

[rough iris]

well, on standard wheel position it's behind that. When you put on bigger wheels or spacers, I would assume it would also be lifted

not at all me trying to avoid doing more work

[junior basin]

It's ok, this is not a criticism, it's just a suggestion

[rough iris]

also why does a slammed work truck go so hard

[junior basin]

It's a bit special

[junior basin]

Go to #1112130140160413706 for speak of the wip of it

[steep jay]

This is probably a dumb question, but does anyone know of a way to import an entire map to Blender?

[dense tangle]

you cant iirc since the assets are hand placed

[vast lion]

has anyone tried to use the new sounds for there engines i changed the sample names over but I still can't get it to work

[scarlet cosmos]

hey just curious, does anyone know what happened to the koenig bolide? i cant find it anywhere

[junior basin]

Is that's a EV

[unreal drum]

is there any good mods that add 80s japanese sedan? especially hardtop

I mean thing like GX71 MARK II, Y30/31 Cedric,

[misty onyx]

[vital folio]

Is ItsYourBoi still around? I wish he updates his Off-road semi truck mod, its such an amazing mod but its trailers glitch out and the trucks have a "No Texture" warning

[vital folio]

Even these Log trailers are bugged for me in the same way. The trailers just fly off at an angle into the sky away from the centre

I'll try removing Off-road semi truck trailers to see if its causing the bug

[vital folio]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/duel-truck.96665/

So its this mod that was making the trailers fly off and bug out, does anyone else have this mod? If so, can someone try spawning a log trailer and see if it presents the same bug?

I really like the mod, would be a hard loss

[dense jungle]

Please at least change the steering wheel to the right

[zenith herald]

It's just a skin, I originally created them for a German skin

[dense jungle]

Im confused, did you just make the skin on a gta model or did you just import that gta model

The bodywork is london fire brigade but that is definitely a gta mod

[zenith herald]

I only created it for a video that I plan to make, it is not a serious mod

[quick pagoda]

i have a stupid question

is it possible to update a map that isnt mine

like remaster it

[drowsy leaf]

KLJP has the zenith which is a mazda cosmo iirc

the saga is also a thing but pretty outdated

still works tho

then the serenity

[neat meadow]

I think. Would definitely need the original authors permission if so though

[dawn tangle]

so ive noticed that when deleting mods from the mods folder, they dont actually delete from my pc and my storage is still the same, am i deleting them wrong?

[drowsy leaf]

empty your recycling bin?

[dawn tangle]

yeah i didd that too. im gonna try and clear cache as well see if that works. Have you ever paid attention to your used storage when deleting mods? im wondering if its a known issue or if its just a complex thing to delete mods

[drowsy leaf]

nah i have a 2tb drive for my uselfolder and blender files

[dawn tangle]

so do i, but i just like knowing how to get rid of them, if you ever need to i just figured it out. You have to clear all the mods in the mods>multiplayer folder except for the 'beamng' zip file in that folder. then clear recycling bin, then clear cache through beamng launcher. then theyre off your storage

[worldly prairie]

Is there a way to fix broken mods?

[unreal pumice]

when i spawn traffic there is some error and car doesnt respond to buttons anyone knows how to fix or is it just outdated mod?

everything works without traffic tho

[sleek breach]

So is there a way to fix certain parts that go chrome when I join specific maps they arent pbr yet ik they should be but most of the truck is non pbr and its just one part on certain maps and theres times where Ive made other maps and it was fine then I changed the ground texture and it made the parts chrome is that what the issue is and how do i fix it?

[drowsy leaf]

Oh that just beammp not deleting them so you don't need to redownload them each time you join a server, to save on bandwidth and server costs

[drowsy leaf]

Yes

[worldly prairie]

Oh, could you maybe tell me how, or show me by some link or whatever

[dense jungle]

“Broken” alone is vague, how is this mod in question broken, what is this mod, what caused it to break

[runic zealot]

just wondering how many lifetimes would it take to make this in beam ?

[earnest pendant]

anyone know what mod this is?

[drowsy leaf]

a few

that model is quite rough, too high poly in some places, no textures, no smooth shading (would need to optimize and add mark sharps)

lack of underbody, chassis, enginebay, engine, interior?....

[runic zealot]

its a render of what im building irl and its my first ever model

just had the thought once ive built my car it would be awsome to have it in beam to

[drowsy leaf]

im nt the one to say but either a photoshop or a very wip mod

[drowsy leaf]

wait you building a racecar irl

[runic zealot]

ya i have currenltly 2 race cars and building another 2 for my channel

[drowsy leaf]

well then if you have the spare time, you defenately have the references for underbody and chasiss and allat

so its just
practicing modeling for a while

then the colision phisics for beam are quite difficult

[runic zealot]

ya thats the idea i have no idea how people make these incredible acurate models withour the car irl like what are you referincing ????

[drowsy leaf]

pain and suffering and using my brains generative ai to fill in the blanks

i love making old cars since they are much simpler but god try and find a chassis reference for that

[runic zealot]

its impossible sometimes it took me soooo long to find this rover model to build the bodykitt off of

[drowsy leaf]

months of collecting refernces

would be extremly fucked if i hadnt found a full restoration video off it

most chassis reference pictures are also 2000s era resolution

this is practically the only reference ive found of the chassis behind the rear bumper

[runic zealot]

like google the powerking golf mk1 race car and just imgine how difficult it would be for a novice to try make that lol i atleast know the owner so i can get refrences but still

[drowsy leaf]

mhm yes

[runic zealot]

im waiting untill im good to try make it for the owner as a gift

[drowsy leaf]

thats why most novices either stick to not making cars (which is VERY reccomended since youll slowly learn the basics instead of a big demotivating proyect) or just use the base of a vanilla car

since for the love of god i just cant wrap my head around suspension geometry and how to code it, i took the mk2 pessima suspension for the celica im making and modified and will retexture it to my needs

[runic zealot]

2000s is the worst because its worse than the old phyisical photos but more mobile and easy

[runic zealot]

just say it was a suspension swap and its lore actuarate lol

[drowsy leaf]

luckily the suspension geometry is almost 1:1

and the awd suspension has shortened rear irs arms and well
a diff

[abstract mango]

🤠

[runic zealot]

also what celica are you making ? i know of alot of guys who have alot of cars so theres a chance they might have one and i can get refrences for you

this is one of my curses ive been trying to find this rover for about 4 years now this is the only photo i know of it the annyoing thing is because it was taken in the 2000s the qualitly is nonexistant

[abstract mango]

let me try find extra ones rq

[dusk gust]

Is there any mod that improves the sound of the V6 found in the DMC delorean mod by lucasbe?

..i find the chances very unlikely but ill ask anyway

[abstract mango]

do you have any extra context of this image

[runic zealot]

i know it was taken in the 2000s at zwartkops raceway thats it

i know its a rover sd1 with a chevbarreta in the background

its a curse i wish i never saw it lol ill never find who owned/owns that thing

i know the racing series it was probably racing in

[abstract mango]

south african racecars are crazy

[runic zealot]

very we have some truly unbelivably cool cars

[runic zealot]

have you ever heard of the 4 rotor mx6 ?

[abstract mango]

nuh uh

[runic zealot]

ohhh if you have fb go look for a goup about wesbank modifeds and go watch wesbank modifed races from the 90s

the 4 rotor mx6 had nearly the same engine as the legandary mazda 787B

[abstract mango]

isnt westbank an australian thing

[runic zealot]

maybe westbank but wes bank is south african

[abstract mango]

oh lol my bad

i misread

[runic zealot]

but then again alout of au and sa things are often confused for eachother since we are SO alike
