[warped steppe]

doesent seam to work, i hadded to my BeamMP i cant see it in here

i tried config

[rocky juniper]

are you in a beam mp server that has the mod

[warped steppe]

yes i made my own MP server and i put the mod in client folder

[rocky juniper]

the answer is probably no because if it did have it, it'd auto download to your game

I don't know anything about beam mp so I can't help there, sorry

[warped steppe]

so i actually need to click subscribe..? cuz im trying to keep my BeamNG clean and if i want to mod ill just use BeamMP

[rocky juniper]

I assumed you were modding the base game so

clicking subscribe just opens it in game and subscribes to it ingame

[warped steppe]

i see it in the repo but yea

is there any good real life police mod?

[livid oasis]

UPDATE: Added more roads, including an approx. 26km ring road around the map. Also now with a white background so it stands out more

[fiery adder]

Is this an American city? If so it probably deserves an enourmous suburb around that grid section

Big American cities tend to hold a central downtown and then chronic urban sprawl outward and definitely don’t just end

[grave carbon]

Not enough trees >:D

[livid oasis]

Yes, it will be an American city

[fiery adder]

Yea makes sure you got a suburb or else it feels too abrupt

[livid oasis]

The suburbs will fill the empty areas, as I'm not gonna put every street on that map. It is only freeways, highways, and main roads in that layout map

[fiery adder]

You could put a shaded area over the suburbs?

I’d suggest a less square grid though? Maybe a tight ring round around it that breaks up the grid edge

Also bare in mind many American cities have the highways carve into the city due to some interesting history

[livid oasis]

I will do that shortly

[livid oasis]

I will keep the grid as is, it will be kinda like Pheonix AZ layout

[livid oasis]

We will pretend that this is one of the lucky cities that avoided a freeway cutting right through the CBD

[fiery adder]

That works

[livid oasis]

Thanks! I also play Cities Skylines (which is a city-building game if you never heard of it before), so I might make it in that as well!

[lyric cedar]

[fiery adder]

I’ve played cities skylines 😭

[livid oasis]

[scenic lagoon]

Okay I have a weird one, I've made a custom billboard that refuses to render on DirectX but works perfectly on Vulkan? Anyone know what I can do to have DirectX render the image?

[young zenith]

none
70% is scrach made
20% from Beamng's cars
10% from Stiv's Miovi stella

just used the autobello kit car materials

[thick niche]

wheres that kit at?

[young zenith]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/tutorials/basic_car_tutorial/

i cant make materials so

[thick niche]

thanks dood!

[sullen solar]

Does anyone know what happens to a UI App that's loaded from an unpacked mod when a file in the mod's directory saved/modified?

The UI seems to do a partial refresh anytime I save the app I'm working on. My scope gets in a weird state and it disconnects my wss connection. Here's the relevant code: https://github.com/CodeCorrupt/ChatNG/blob/main/ui/modules/apps/ChatNG/app.js

It's an easy fix to refresh with f5, but it's just weird and I'm curious what's happening.

[digital anchor]

Anyone who knows how to design maps in here? I need an large floating platform to race on and road to it added to an existing map and suck at it, I tried. I will pay you like $100 for your time thru paypal g/s if interested. Shoot me a PM if you are skilled enough to do this, thanks!

[lean sparrow]

how would i make my own beamMP server for me and my friends

[sullen solar]

Check out the docs here: https://wiki.beammp.com/en/home/server-installation

[harsh umbra]

Anyone know a good australian police skin for mainly all cars?

[cosmic wagon]

why the repository mod is not working?

[wanton swallow]

anybody know how one can merge decal roads? I have a long one that's divided up into several parts, and I'd like to merge these for ai path finding and such

[inner terrace]

Yall

Is there multiplayer

[cold pewter]

beammp

[frank cove]

Unofficial multiplayer yes

[inner terrace]

How

I WANT IT

[frank cove]

Search up BeamMP download tutorial on YouTube

It’s pretty simple to do

[woven sinew]

Is there anyone than really undertsands on modding engine files?

[drowsy leaf]

yes

[lapis fulcrum]

sup

[inland berry]

Hey guys, I love this build as is but I would really like to add carbon front fenders. Is there an easy way to do this without knowledge of modding?

I tried making some fake carbon with the decals but it didnt turn out great at all

I was hoping it'd be simple as taking the part and adding a carbon texture but I still don't have a clue how to.

[celest sundial]

does anyone know which mod it is that causes legran police traffic cars to spawn without wheels? I had whatever it is disabled but I accidentally activated all my mods and it messed it up again

[indigo mist]

why aren't the "free candy" skin mods working anymore?

[latent ivy]

the candy is paid now so no free candy!!!

[quick pagoda]

where do i start if i am brand new

i want to make a part mod

[latent ivy]

make the part i guess?

im not sure

[quick pagoda]

is there some resource that i can read up on first

regarding jbeams and stuff

[latent ivy]

#mods-faq

[quick pagoda]

oh

[latent ivy]

there is a plugin that works with beamng jbeams too i think

[quick pagoda]

i see

[latent ivy]

can anyone help me come up with a name for a mod, it will be a 1938 gavril roadster

right now i have idea of the gavril 38 speedster, might be too boring

or maybe i can just call it the gavril 38

[unique pasture]

having issues withthe fixed up auriga light refresh, the wheels are very wobbly and it overheats very fast

[drowsy leaf]

It's just an old mod, even if it's been refreshed it's most likely just PBR materials and nothing else

[unique pasture]

the mod is fine, they added openable doors and all, its just the engine is overheating stupidly fast and the front wheels get all wobbly above 10 mph, it feels like they breaking off

[coarse pewter]

How do I know if a configuration is using any mods? Would be handy to have a section of the parts tree that shows the author of the part 👍

[radiant olive]

how long do you think it would take me to get to zeits level of lua or theos level of modelling.

i have all day literally to pratice except 3 hrs for god. So if i wanted to i could go for 24 hrs or 21 hrs.

i think it would take a year or so

most professional modders usually have around 6hrs iirc

For blender i have over 200 videos in a playlist

[hoary steppe]

first off, learn blender (half a year minimum) and then export the car you wanna make the modded part for. model all the things u wanna model, and i cant really help with the import part watch a tutorial

[quick pagoda]

half a year

[hoary steppe]

u can use that knowledge later to make money

[radiant kernel]

is there a mod that lets me run a bedcover and the roll bar ?

[hoary steppe]

and winter arc is here lol

[drowsy leaf]

well i mean you need to sleep
and what you lack isnt time, its motivation, i have plenty of time in a day but im just not motivated and just end up playing MGS3 or watching yt vids

[radiant olive]

same, but i have adhd and stayed up 3 days straight before lol

[drowsy leaf]

and if your mindset is to get good, thats the wrong mindset

[radiant olive]

i just wanna help people

like other modders etc

then teach people what i learnt

[drowsy leaf]

having adhd doesnt mean you should fucking die, like the human brain goes insane when you stay up for that long

[hoary steppe]

bro there are moderators too 🥶

[drowsy leaf]

do as you want but like instead of asking people questions, just start modeling or modding

[radiant olive]

i know but meaning that its like having a alternator i can stay awaye, of course i wont stay up for 24 hrs. but if needed i could. The max id work is like 10 hrs. Like 10am to 12pm

[drowsy leaf]

do you also not eat, go to the bathroom or anything?

[radiant olive]

everytime i ask a question drama starts, so ive resorted to just learning myself lol

i could, im just saying how im free all day lol

[drowsy leaf]

i meant that youd just be better off stoping talking right now and start modeling

[radiant olive]

i have 200 blender videos

[drowsy leaf]

i cant well because im at school

[radiant olive]

okay yes

[drowsy leaf]

youll get tired of watching after 2

you have to start doing something then watch tutorials to solve the issues that arise when you have them

thats how ive worked for like 3 years

i never really watched a modeling tutorial

[radiant olive]

my 2 playlists

[drowsy leaf]

i dont think you understand

you need to start doing anything

not watching videos

[radiant olive]

oh so like making smth random

i cant even turn the square into a circle etc

i dont even have most of the basics, thats why i have so many vides

[radiant olive]

Oh im slow

alright well what do you reccomend i mod first? Griles? bumpers? Headlights?

[drowsy leaf]

Nothing

Model whatever you want, but don't think about putting it in-game

[radiant olive]

k already learning about extrude etc

might make a crash test barrier, not complex shapes etc joethink

i wont put it in game, got it

[radiant olive]

is my first thing meant to be this bad? this is the 1st out of like 80 more tries

[limpid token]

I have 700 hours in blender, I can do some good stuff ngl but there's still plenty of stuff to learn, practise, improve

So it takes a lot of time

[radiant olive]

i know

[limpid token]

But it is possible with enough determination

[radiant olive]

i have literally all day 12 hrs to practice

but i i usually learn about god from 7-10pm so - 3 hrs

basicially if i wanted to 6 am to 12am etc you get the idea

[limpid token]

But its easy to burn out

[radiant olive]

yep i know

my adhd doesnt help, but it can keep me awake Funni

i get distracted so easily

[limpid token]

I'm on a short break from blender rn, i've been spending so much time on the interior for my mod that I got enough of it

[radiant olive]

nice

would a crash test barrier be the easiest thing to work on? its basically a poiny block with legs so it doesnt fall

compared to complex shape bumpers etc

[limpid token]

Probably yeah

[outer solstice]

try make a wing or something

modelling is easier when you’re passionate about what you’re making

[radiant olive]

on the first attempt you can sort of see what i went for

[limpid token]

True

Thats why I love to make wheels

[radiant olive]

im so inconsistent🤣

[limpid token]

This was my first 3d model

You have to start with simple, low poly projects

[radiant olive]

yep

thing which really sucks about me is i compare myself against everyone lmao

[radiant olive]

thats actually pretty good

[radiant olive]

you should remake that just for fun

[limpid token]

Probably

[radiant olive]

like how theo remade the ccf you should remake that, obvisouly not the interior etc

just the outside skin

[limpid token]

Yeah when youre starting you shouldnt compare to others

[radiant olive]

i do it at everything minecraft tec, im starting to do it not as often now

[limpid token]

You should just focus on yourself and improving your work

[outer solstice]

this was my first mod

just took the rockbasher lightbar and glued it to the roamer

[radiant olive]

with my old rep its gonna be hard trying to make a thread Funni

[limpid token]

My first mod was the k-series speedster (which I had to remake 4 times)

[outer solstice]

got an understanding of jbeam principles, moved onto something else, learned a bit of modelling

[radiant olive]

compared to most modders, as we disscussed earlier will the time advantage i have make a difference?

iirc most people have like 4-6 hrs i have 12

[outer solstice]

maybe

but it’s a super steep learning curve and I haven’t seen someone go without burning out at least once

[limpid token]

I was so bad with modelling that I was exporting fixtures from automation and putting them on the k series in blender

💀

[radiant olive]

i know this doesnt compare but i stayed up for 1 in a half days straight on mc without sleep, 12 hrs no break

[outer solstice]

dude I couldn’t make a circle so I cut up the roamer roof rack to get a tube

[radiant olive]

it depends what it is to burn me out

if i enjoy it or not

[outer solstice]

believe me blender has a magical ability to kill you instantly

[radiant olive]

/kill basically Funni

id learn lua, but i want to keep my keyboard and desk

not incinerate it

[limpid token]

I enjoy 3d modelling yet i got burnt out

[radiant olive]

im so inconsitent i started playing terraria for 3 days and havent touched it since, its been 10 days so far

was this your first public mod?

or like your 8566 blender practice one

[limpid token]

Thats automation

[radiant olive]

oh

[limpid token]

Yeah blender overworks your mouse

[radiant olive]

should i start with automation cars, then edit them with jbeam and slightly change their apperance?

[limpid token]

Nope

Too much work

[radiant olive]

i have a g502X but ghub doesnt work

[limpid token]

There's a ton of structural differences between automation and normal cars

[limpid token]

First one was the I-series PUR, but that was a 2 man project

[radiant olive]

id start with a 2 man project, but im convinced everyone hates me, and i have no modder friends Funni

zeit, finn, theo all unfriended me

[limpid token]

Back in the old days I made bastion swap to moonhawk.

And some taillights for k series

And pur s💀💀💀

[radiant olive]

nice

[limpid token]

Damn

[radiant olive]

try making a ford feista troll~1

[limpid token]

I can gather irl references

[radiant olive]

yep beambot too

[radiant olive]

so im alone unless you wanna help lol

i remember getting PUR in 2023 but havent tried it yet, imma do it now. Total now ive probably had over 1,300mods now over 50gb mods folder

[limpid token]

Pur didnt even exist in 2023

😭

[radiant olive]

💀

my forgetfullness

i swear ive seen the rims etc a while ago

[limpid token]

Brand started existing in february 2024

First mod released in late may

[radiant olive]

then thats when i saw it

i must of saw the rims and thought i had the mod

my daily is a etk800 anyway the pur is a etk so win win

[outer solstice]

simply learn shortcuts

[radiant olive]

i mean i have a streamdeck-

[outer solstice]

then be stretching your hand muscles to reach em

nah blender has millions

[radiant olive]

i can havve infinte hotkeys

[limpid token]

Nah but I just keep constantly rotating the camera around a model

[pulsar sand]

Will the ultimate configuration pack break the game if i install it?

[graceful harness]

yo scrollin through the forums and I keep seeing stuff mentioning a guy called exorion, could someone give me the backstory instead of some vague thing which has around half a paragraph of info

[livid steppe]

Some dude that did that I guess? Idk

[bold dock]

over 1000 hours playtime?! 😭

[radiant olive]

Ye

[livid steppe]

Rookie numbers

[radiant olive]

bro saw my hours and multiplied them by 5

[bold dock]

dude wtf man 😭 🙏

[bold dock]

did you like leave your pc running for a year or what

[radiant olive]

i started playing a few weeks before the bastion got added

[livid steppe]

No, thats actual playtime since 2016

[bold dock]

i dont know when i started

[radiant olive]

so 2 years

[bold dock]

wow

[radiant olive]

i think 0.26

[livid steppe]

Top 7 by most hours

[radiant olive]

around here bc i got it for christmas

[bold dock]

ok but what do you do in 5k hours of playtime

[livid steppe]

I create maps

[bold dock]

cooll

[drowsy leaf]

modding will just do that

i bought the game when the d series prerruner got added

so like early 2021

[bold dock]

i have 200 hours-

[drowsy leaf]

tho like 2 years ago i forgot to turn of my computer when i went to sleep so maybe like 100 hours are just me sleeping

[bold dock]

bro slept for 100 hours

[drowsy leaf]

happened multiple times

[thick niche]

jesus christ and i thought i had alot at 2500

[bold dock]

bro slept 100 hours multiple times 😭

[livid steppe]

Intersection

[bold dock]

cute

[thick niche]

wish there was a easier way to shrink mesh and jbeams.
need to shorten the width and length of the d series frame if i wanna continue making the s10 the correct size.

[livid steppe]

Ngl, it looks great without the filter as well.

If the floating tower is ignored that is 😂

Iykyk 😛

[surreal fractal]

me having 446

[dry quarry]

So I am adding branded lights under the door of a mod, how can I visualize the xyz values instead of having to do a bunch of trial and error

[rocky juniper]

I've had the game since before it was on steam so I genuinely don't know how many hours I have at this point

[dry quarry]

Maybe putting a plane under the door in blender could give me something but idk how blenders xyz values convert to beamngs scale

[mellow hare]

any1 got mods for cars like

bmw dee

nissan micra k12

[drowsy leaf]

nope

[river jackal]

Is there a mod that adds time and weather to career? VERY tired of the constant day, and no night/rain/fog

[thick niche]

your right, why is there no day/ night cycle in career when its already in game?

[abstract mango]

i guess it's because nighttime looks horrible in beamng and the terrible headlights don't help

[thick niche]

hue

[river jackal]

i think its good. people should be able to choose between no day/night cycle and day/night cycle. Just to give the thousand extra lights a use, like cool offroad cars n stuff with lots of lights, and no use

[barren magnet]

the problem is lighting isnt pbr and looks like dookie

that and point lights are not optimized

so now you have a map full of point lights

[river jackal]

I FOUND A WAY!! Launch beamng in freeroam, set the enviroment how you want, day/night cycle etc, press main menu, press career and load it!!

[barren magnet]

populated by cars with point lights

[drowsy leaf]

^^

[thick niche]

yes, convert beam to unreal

[dapper wedge]

can somebody help mw

me

[drowsy leaf]

not what we are talking about, its pretty clear that the developers have left the enviroment aside for later in development, seeing we have no rain, the skyboxes could be easily improved (volumetric clouds) and the nightsky lighting/ car light lighting/ map lighting bein pretty lacking

[drowsy leaf]

sure

[thick niche]

good info

[peak cipher]

I don't konw if this belongs here, but is there any way to remove the flickering from animated dae models?

[cunning fable]

does anyone know some good spinners mods

[celest sundial]

I don't think there are any, at least no functional

[cunning fable]

damn

[celest sundial]

I know someone was working on one but I don't know if they every finished it

assuming you're talking about wheels

[cunning fable]

ive seen some on tiktok

but ppl gatekeep em

[hollow gale]

There's one made by jsd, but its on his 20$ is300 mod

[cunning fable]

thx

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @hollow gale (current: #19 - 90)

[cunning fable]

god damn 20 is crazy tho

[hollow gale]

Yeah, and its quantity about quality

[cunning fable]

it says 5 dollars a month tho

[hollow gale]

Hmm

Wouldn't spend money on it tho

[cunning fable]

yeah

[hollow gale]

Its out there somewhere

[cunning fable]

hopefully

im savin for a wa1tuh mod

[celest sundial]

It says high quality in the description clearly it's high quality

[hollow gale]

Are you srs rn?

[cunning fable]

no way bro js said that 😭 🙏

[celest sundial]

(No)

[cunning fable]

ey but abt ur friend making that mod is he ever gonna release it public?

or no plans on it yet

[hollow gale]

Vizx?

[cunning fable]

ya

[hollow gale]

Prob not

[cunning fable]

alr

[hollow gale]

Cus it uses ac models without credit

[cunning fable]

oh damn

i needa learn how to make those

[dense jungle]

the only reputable mods to pay for will have a forum post on the forums and on #1102973298222051358

[cunning fable]

oh alr

[ripe condor]

any ideas how I could fix this? I have made some changed in the world editor the the garage floor and props, but none to the lights.

[latent ivy]

what shall i add next?

[dusk skiff]

i dont think i even friended you

[radiant olive]

you did at one point i think

im almost 80% sure

[dusk skiff]

maybe

[radiant olive]

so i guess ill learn myself lol, im confident ill make some good mods

[outer solstice]

the MfD server exists and is largely non-discriminatory

[barren magnet]

the thing with mfd is you need to be concise and patient

which a lot of new modders are not

that and its expected that you have at least some experience in blender

because we will help with concepts and techniques but we can’t teach you how to navigate and do basic stuff

thats what tutorials are for

mfd is best for people with a little prior knowledge and good self motivation

[buoyant magnet]

Hey beam community, got a couple questions.

1. Are royal renderings mods good and worth it?
2. Does anyone know of a good motorcycle mod?
   Thanks in advance!

[barren magnet]

no, and they don’t really exist yet

there are motorcycle mods that exist

but they don’t handle like a bike would

there is a bike in development that looks very promising

and i’m actually quite eager to see it come out

but the offerings that are currently available kind of suck

[buoyant magnet]

What about my first question?

[buoyant magnet]

Also what are some of these

[barren magnet]

that was the no

[barren magnet]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/motocross-motorcycle-paid.87500/

tony’s is the only real one. others are typically meshslaps of his mod

https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1261426129693184111

[sacred belfry]

Hi! Here are my first three Formula 2 configurations: the unpainted version, the presentation version and the first team (Civetta).
I hope you like them, I still have 11 teams with 2 drivers each to make.

[barren magnet]

this is the one i’m waiting for, as it looks to handle the closest to how a bike actually would

[buoyant magnet]

What's a good alternative for royal renderings mods? And why are they bad?

[barren magnet]

they use ripped model, are poorly made meshslaps, and the paid ones are objectively illegal to sell

alternatives? not really any

i don’t recommend paid real cars, or real cars in general

most of them land in the same bucket as the first snd second reason

unless they are shown to not be otherwise

like LJ’s charger and eventual XT mods

[barren magnet]

both of these are scratch modeled, hand jbeamed and well crafted

most off RR and Kenemation mods are the exact opposite

[torpid nymph]

Hello,
I have now built my first track on a map with track builder.
I have saved it - but how can I export it sort of, so I can load in that map with that track in BeamNG?
Do I have to load track builder each time, and then load in my saved track? 🙂
TIA

[frank cove]

Spealer did a video on YouTube about exporting track builder tracks to blender and back to BeamNg I’d look into that

[torpid nymph]

Aah, so I need to export it and then import it - I'll look into that.
Thank you 🙂

[wet quest]

how do you access the texture file in a mod(glass, windshield)

[wet quest]

like fixing the broken textures

[wet quest]

is it ez or i need to know shitload of coding

[drowsy leaf]

Click the fix everything and make it perfect button 🙏

[wet quest]

its for an outdated mod. I want to start small

[drowsy leaf]

But like it depends on what needs fixing, there's not a standard way to do it

[wet quest]

the only problems are not openable, no steering wheel, and broken glass texture

[drowsy leaf]

Also fixing old mods isn't recommended for learning modding

[wet quest]

seeing as i dont have time to make a mod, since im busy with school, might as well start small

[drowsy leaf]

Since you don't want to work with broken outdated content to build your basic knowledge on

[wet quest]

explain then how someone can remaster the etk 1300, s series, and the roth alpha is on the way

[wet quest]

im reading, continue on

[drowsy leaf]

The etk 1300 and s series were not massively broken due to the etk refresh being minor, and they just got some extra content, they haven't been really "fixed" and there's still a lot of design flaws that the original mod had

The Roth alpha is just being built from the ground up again by it's creator, it's not a fix

[wet quest]

its the etk 800 liftback, the guy said he was working on it, but i only need to fix 3 things

[wet quest]

3 things i can do

[drowsy leaf]

Do it then

But I tell you that user made mods are basically never up to the standard of dev quality, so to learn modding, you should mod vanilla cars

[wet quest]

but how to fix the texture(manipulate it) and how to download missing steering wheel(if car pal can delete steering wheels, there should be a way to get it back)

[wet quest]

or ill just figure it out myself. the modding guide is helpful, but not 100%

[drowsy leaf]

I'm not explaining all that it's 1 am

[wet quest]

ur up at 1 am? are you like netherland time or something? im usa time

[wet quest]

bro just say it

[drowsy leaf]

I live in Spain

[drowsy leaf]

Say what

[wet quest]

oh ok

[wet quest]

nvm, explain to me later

[warped steppe]

is there a Ferrari SF90 mod for beamng somewhere?

PAID since i paid are actually better for some reason but it depend

[cyan drum]

no

[wet quest]

how to get into the texture files(maniputlate it) thats all im asking, ill figure out the wheel later

[rotund jewel]

Anyone happen to know if theres a map of this, i doubt it but it would be fun to play in-

[fading gust]

definitely not, but not impossible to make

been a hot minute since i played ERLC

[rotund jewel]

Maps been updated a lot

looks great now

[fading gust]

yeyuh

[rotund jewel]

highly reccomend playing it again

[fading gust]

well actually

i lied, i played it like 2 weeks ago

[rotund jewel]

-_-

[fading gust]

but i dont play it like i used to, i just drive around lol

[rotund jewel]

Pfft

[fading gust]

thats what i meant

[rotund jewel]

thats why i lowkey want a map of it in beamNG to drive around and test how cars would behave actually if you use escape tactics from ERLC in beamNG

[fading gust]

yeah lol

[rotund jewel]

plus there like DOT and PD mods for the cars ingame 💀

[fallow halo]

i think it'd be interesting to see custom door panels with actual speakers. they could each be made into an audio source, with some sort of external input, such as a file folder with mp3s. it's relatively easy to separate that into separate channels like an actual car radio would.
I feel like outside of some modern cars with 17-25 speakers in them, it could be an immersion-builder, and a new way for players to express themselves with their builds.

[thick niche]

yeah, until I learn a bit more on building jbeams it'll just be a body swap for the d series.

fair

[thick niche]

i was building one w/ correct deminsions but am having trouble converting the suspension/ frame from the d series to a smaller scale. I can get it to work but the jbeams become unstable i think due and i haven't figured out why.

[vagrant garden]

HI i have a suggestion for some one to make european or american road signs it would create a whole other perspective to turn beamng in to making it posible learning to drive or just making it more realistic . : do you agree?

[frank cove]

Vanilla already has em

[magic zodiac]

yo if you increase the compression in automation to >18:1 will it actually become a diesel?

[barren magnet]

this is a beamng server

[magic zodiac]

whoops

[frank cove]

On my modded map it runs at a stable 100 FPS for me (30 more FPS than WCUSA) however uses about 20% more GPU usage than WCUSA which is causing problems for some folks. Does anyone know why this might be?

[drowsy leaf]

does it contain any ligthing

[frank cove]

Yes but it is dynamic so only comes on at night

[drowsy leaf]

port what

[drowsy leaf]

hm

heavy foliage?

[frank cove]

Yeah but I wouldn't say much more than JRI

[drowsy leaf]

if i make it so that my game barely runs at 60fps and i enter the WCUSA forest area my fps drops to 20

if you really need the improvement on gpu usage, you could ask Carkiller for guidance, since hes a pretty good mapper and knows his way around GFX and all stuff gpu

[drowsy leaf]

with what in particular

[red elk]

im using RK's highly customizable engines mod and i want to change the mesh of the Stambecco's engine from the gasoline variant to the turbodiesel variant

i already did most of the things, including the nodes and beams, but i somehow broke the vanilla diesel engine

[red elk]

correction: i did not break the vanilla engine, i just forgot to change the fuel tank

[rotund jewel]

would be a goated map for someone to mod in fr

it's fine, thx anyway!

[frozen tulip]

1. community guides usually just help with bugs and stuff, most of us have 0 modding experience
2. dont remove a ping once youve pinged or else its 10x worse

there should be a modding help role

yes

does anyone know where to get career mode mods for version 0.33 or will the ones from 0.31 still work

not sure if mod suggestions are being looked at actively but smt that would be cool is little inconspicuous marker lights for the Gavril trucks and some other vehicles. my truck irl has a few LED beacons that i can switch on and off from the cab.

the tail lights, headlights, and a few hidden spots in the windows and bumper all have a synchronized light pattern

[cunning ruin]

Have you checked the console for error messages? They can be SUPER helpful in scenarios like this

[coarse wadi]

how to check?

[obsidian lance]

I am looking for/looking to make a mod for having an AI attempt to follow a prerecorded path (matching speed with original path). Looking for AI to do this with normal input controls only. The real challange will be getting the control system working. Anyone familiar with any existing mod that does this? A similar mod would also work, I am a developer so can work off an existing similar mod as a reference to make exactly what I need.

[shell geyser]

Any good motorcycle and/or dirt bike mods that would work good for rp?

[lament junco]

you gotta do alot of things to do it right

[drowsy leaf]

@hasty pendant @runic axle @odd leaf (don't want to ping full mod team) are you supposed to be able to ping the entire role? I thought it was just meant to ping specific users that have the role

[drowsy leaf]

(in reply to this because discord said fuck me)

[hasty pendant]

Sorry, what was I pinged for?

[sage oriole]

yeah its very annoying

[drowsy leaf]

for my 2 messages above

well 1 but discord reply didnt work fine

[cunning ruin]

press the "`" key, it should be located below the esc key

[drowsy leaf]

(some guy pinged the entire community helper role and it doesnt seem like a thing you should be able to do)

[hasty pendant]

You can use other in-game sounds, but I'm not sure about external sounds.

Probably possible, but I don't know how. Most likely would have to be formatted correctly.

[drowsy leaf]

no but i mean that you shoudlnt be able to

(he pinged the entire role and to me that seems like an oversight)

[hasty pendant]

Ohhhhhhhhhh.

[drowsy leaf]

he also ghost pinged in support which yea

[hasty pendant]

Thanks, yeah, I'll bring that up.

[verbal kelp]

Sorry to butt in but isn't this a self assignable role? I believe the purpose of it is to be pingable

[drowsy leaf]

yes but pinging like 200 ish people seems like a bit of a unecesary thing

maybe showing them on the sidebar so you can ping a few of em

[verbal kelp]

Yeah true, but I don't know if discord allows a proper way for members to search by role

I think moderator is pingable too

[drowsy leaf]

yeah but thats since theres like 10 moderators and should be used only when theres a big mess

which people dont seem to understand and instead of pinging 2 moderators that are online just ping the entire modteam

[verbal kelp]

I do absolutely get what you are saying but it does warn you in the roles channel so I think it's by design

[drowsy leaf]

i read that as "ping users who have this role" not "ping 200 people role"

but yea i see

[verbal kelp]

Hm yeah

[drowsy leaf]

tho its the first time that ive seen it used

[verbal kelp]

Could go either way but, people will still ping the role anyways lol

[hasty pendant]

Welp, I've been told it's intentional.

[quick crow]

https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1261426129693184111

(but its not out yet)

[crimson viper]

I kind of agree, I keep getting notifications from people pinging community support when it's 4am for me. I'm glad to help but I don't think that over 200 people should be pinged at once (can cause more chaos than good)

[ocean mauve]

then dont select the role?

[crimson viper]

I said I'm glad to help, I can deal with 4am notifications by just setting do not disturb or something.

I still want to help people

I just don't think over 200 people should be pinged at once. If I deselect the role 200 people will still be pinged

[ocean mauve]

yes, because they voluntarily chose a role that can be pinged when people need help

that is the whole point

[ocean mauve]

👆

[crimson viper]

Yes, I agree, but instead of pinging 200 people (awake or not) it should choose like 2-10 people to ping that are online instead of all 200 users.

If only discord separated the community guide role from "members" in the member list on the right so people could choose people to ping that are online, eliminating both pings while people are asleep and the 200 pings at once.

[ocean mauve]

but why would 200 pings be a bad thing?

all of those people want to help, which is why they've selected the role. if they don't, then they can just deselect it.

and if they do want to help, but just don't want to be pinged at certain times, i'd suggest some kind of dnd or mute or whatever. (personally i've just muted this server, so i only see pings when i open discord)

anyway this aint modding related so imma shut up

[crimson viper]

200 people active in a chat at once would cause spam and make it harder to help (original users message may be hard to find in the sudden wave of 200 users chatting at once). (if 200 people could even be awake at once)

Also it's kind of hard to help someone when at least one or two people of the 200 people are complaining about the ping that they asked to have when they were getting the community guide role. (I mean people spamming the :ping: emoji or using that one gif with the fridge)

I don't mind getting pinged during the day but I don't think 200 people should be pinged to help one person. that is a bit overkill

#off-topic message this is an example

This is how I think community guide should work, it indicates the user is able to help, and they ping a single user with the role instead of all 200-300 users with the role.

[frigid palm]

@deep crystal
Love the mk2 bastion mod. Looks good head on! Would consider squishing the nose back however. It looks a bit thick and kinda messes with the proportions.

Again, love the idea and how it looks!

[fading gust]

where do i look at this

[quick crow]

repo:
https://www.beamng.com/resources/bruckell-bastion-mk2.32442/

[drowsy frost]

its hideous imo, needs a full redesign instead of just the front end

[naive fiber]

anyone knows which mod might be causing this?

[fading gust]

yeah thats what i expectd

thats why i wanted to see it

[frigid palm]

I mean I like the front end, the hood still being round does throw it off a bit but I don’t HATE it

[frigid palm]

Also Cmon man don’t be that harsh. First mods aren’t always perfect

[drowsy leaf]

Yeah but that doesn't mean that because it's a first mod it can't be hideous

[frigid palm]

Well yeah that’s kinda a given, first mods are supposed to be not great but you don’t gotta put ‘em down for it

[drowsy leaf]

I'm criticizing the mod not the author

It looks bad, like most of my old mods do since I didn't know what the fuck i was doing

[dry quarry]

https://github.com/BeamNG/Blender-JBeam-Editor/blob/main/docs/user/user_docs.md, does anyone have experience with this? Looks promising

[drowsy leaf]

Yes it works fine

[fading gust]

sometimes a bit buggy but overall good

[ionic minnow]

its a little bit finicky, im not the biggest fan but it gets the job done. i find that i need to go in and clean up the jbeam manually afterward

[dusk gust]

is there anywhere i can find more add-ons for the cherrier picnic?

id guess there are either none of barely any, most people don't make mods for other mods

Hey kinda a stretch on this one but can i request a mod to someone whos a hell of a lot smarter than i?

I was wondering if theres a Horsepower Ui that shows the highest peak horsepower in this configuration of parts. Something that can sit aside the partslist UI so you can mix and match parts to help reach a specific hp range. (im a drag racer lol)

[eager meadow]

usually the higher the parts stage the more horsies

[flat mantle]

Is there a mod for license plate holders , like only the holder on the car no plate

Like this

[narrow cobalt]

If it's in place of a licence plate then it's very easy to make it universal, but that's as much as I know.

Basically is it a licence plate part

[ocean mauve]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/european-plate-holders.23564/

[willow stone]

No i get that bro but i was looking for more of a "forza" style add a part get a hp gain and see what the gain is.

[vague girder]

That’s a mad Ute

[drowsy leaf]

thats not really possible

since its generally sometimes not even an hp gain but a multiplier

[willow stone]

Ive kept a good system with my friends when we do mock drags. in terms of performance figures, we use the powertrain loss debug to see what the closest most consistent number we see. so say the debug box is bouncing around 8xx hp we will say. the drags are no more than 8xx horsepower.

[drowsy leaf]

doesnt the torquecurve app account for powertrain losses

[willow stone]

just trying to see if we can get a more efficient way of getting our numbers to where they are competitive, yet not trying to read a graph for our numbers.

hence why we chose the powertrain loss debug.

[drowsy leaf]

that id say is possible

im not very good at coding but im pretty certain you can take the peak hp amount the torquecurve app gives you and just multiply it by the % of loss

[willow stone]

Yeah im whats known as "Dumb" so i wouldnt even know where to start for that.

[drowsy leaf]

i make vehicle mods which dont require any ui or lua/js coding so i know nothing too

[willow stone]

either way i appreciate your response. Hopefuly it will gain the attention of someone who knows all that. Make any cool cars?

the materials is named s10.material

i dont think you can use dots on mat names

[thick niche]

should it be s10_material instead?

[frigid palm]

I feel like it looks too much like a nosecone.

Instead of the front of the fenders being the front of the car, it’s still maybe 8 inches behind the actual front.

Looks better tho!

[drowsy leaf]

it REALLY needs a custom hood instead of that

how it is it just doesnt work, this also means that the headlights can be up taller

[celest sundial]

it kinda reminds me of a lancia delta moreso than like a challenger

[drowsy leaf]

^^

[frigid palm]

I like the general look but yeah the round hood and it being so much farther forward than it needs to be kinda nerfs it.

For a better look at just how big it is, download the bastion coupe mod then install that front end. You’ll see the proportion issues

[drowsy leaf]

it also just doesnt flow at all with the design of the bastion

since the bastion is much more rounded than the real life charger/challenger

[frigid palm]

I mean, I like it mixed with the 2 door bastion mod but that’s just my inner charger brain. The 1968-1970 charger was curvaceous yet boxy at the same time

[cold pewter]

that hood does not suit it, you’re gonna have to like redesign the entire front end

[thick niche]

final version for now of the odv front

[dense jungle]

yeah like everyone else has said, the bonnet doesnt suit the front

[junior basin]

Like more a pre-series Bastion or another model, but it will be not Bad to work at the rear too

And a new hood will be not bad too

[lime ether]

Yeah, I feel like it could also look nice on the sunburst

[drowsy leaf]

theres a few reasons this thing was never made, one of them being it was meshslapped onto the piccolina and just looked good but drove like ass

Serious question: Could the VW Beetle mod get on the repo if all VW badges are swapped with AW badges and all references to Herbie and the Beetle are removed?

[thick niche]

so for you to use the model, it has to have no badging, and you have to have a license that allows for it to be redistrubuted w/ the allowance of derivatatives

you can put lore badging on it, but the model must allow derivatives

[tulip acorn]

what file type do i need to add blender models to the game? and do i need to add custom sollisions or will the game do it? please help im so lost (woops wrong channel...)

[neon magnet]

What have u made

[tulip acorn]

a bunch of cubes, ramps and angled cubes

[frank cove]

If it’s a level asset all you need to do is export it as a dae. If you want to go an extra step you can make a collision mesh

[tulip acorn]

for addding blender models to the game, or adding game models to blender? cause now reading my message its kinda confusing

[frank cove]

dae works for both but I was referring to adding them into the game

[tulip acorn]

ok

i made the file a .dae but idk where to put it, tried several places but none work

Haven’t heard of it but I wish we got a modern minivan mod

Is it easy to JBeam cars?

Cuz I feel like making some cars

[bright jacinth]

easy, if you know 3d modeling, pbr texturing, javascript, json, jbeam, and physical and structural properties

theres a reason why the modding scene on beam is small

it takes a fuckton of effort to pump out 1 mod

[thick niche]

and alot of hair pulling

[bright jacinth]

just know the syntax

[thick niche]

doing materials in beam is no fun task

[astral timber]

does anyone have an audi rs5 sportback mod?

[brisk vine]

y'all is there a mod on the repo that is a school bus

because I couldve sworn there was

[frigid palm]

This shows what I mean better. The MK2 front looks like a nosecone rather than a bumper.

Also you can see how the hood just…. Doesn’t work with it.

[celest sundial]

looks sorta camaro-esque now

[frigid palm]

Mmmmm. It’s better.

Try it on the coupe bastion body

[frigid palm]

Hmm

[silent sluice]

i think I'm going to try and make an Autobello based on the Vivace, should i base it on the 2024 Fiat500x/600e or 2024 Fiat 500e

i mean maybe i could try both since there is also the Tograc which is more like the 500x/600e

[fading gust]

id say if you want something challenger-like ingame, you should try modelling a full body for this

good proof of concept, but needs work

[wet quest]

i accessed the gauge files of the beamng mod(gavril traveler) wtf is this

[ocean mauve]

Not a text file, so text programs can't read it properly

[drowsy leaf]

twhat format is it and whats a gavril traveler

[drowsy leaf]

what in the proportions is that

also you dont have a throttle body?

[coarse pagoda]

i actually forgot about that lol its my first time modifiyng an engine

[wet quest]

It was a basically abandoned project based on a 2016 dodge caravan

[misty onyx]

pipes look a bit small

[onyx dirge]

You opened a texture in notepad or something lol

[north sky]

Gauges are textures, which are either png or .dds. You need an image editor that supports these files to open it, not notepad

HEEELP

i have made a simple mod that adds stronger brakes to the h series van

i copied info and changed some files boom mod

BUUUT it doesnt show up in the configuration list

[pseudo beacon]

do u also have new Brakes and limiter delete for the F4?

[coarse pagoda]

no, sorry

[pseudo beacon]

ok

[merry dirge]

Can u help me?

[ocean mauve]

You were missing a } at the end

I'd recommend some kind of .json error checker, there are many code-specific text editors that come with that built in.
Only difference between .json and .jbeam, is that jbeam doesn't care about commas and comments

[merry dirge]

umm i edited the brakes jbeam a little (adding more strength)

the h series is invis now

i reset everything and yet its still nope

@ocean mauve can you give me your Van_brakes.jbeam file

[ocean mauve]

Here ya go

[merry dirge]

you legend @ocean mauve they both work now my mod and the ENTIRE car.

Does anyone know how i add pictures to my mod showcase thread

[oak lance]

what is the lore friendly ferrari f40 called?

[cyan drum]

civetta bolide

[fiery adder]

The evolution mod from pre-remaster bolide made the bolide look much more like a F40 if that’s what you’re asking about

Nope wrong my memory screwed it up but there’s a similarly named mod for the remaster bolide to give it more f40

[quick summit]

are there any good hypercars out there?

[celest sundial]

I think innocentjoker's chiron is decent if you want something like an irl car

not really any lore friendly ones

[quick summit]

ah all good then

[oak lance]

no its a mod

[cyan drum]

that's broken

[modest turtle]

I think it is civetta J40

Nvm its civetta J58

[brazen cypress]

Please, does anybody here have a 3d model of a touchscreen car radio (not to print) i literally cant find any anywhere

There's a list with good mods here #mods-discussion message

[tribal ledge]

Hello. Does anyone know of a way to pack to mod a track I made in track editor? Id like to turn this thing into a map but after 3 days my head is still spinning.
I have the track and can spawn it and in world editor it seems to save but on relaunch it only has a white square placeholder and never saves. I've watched every tutorial and I'm guessing either it is broken or just beyond me. Has anyone ever successfully saved their edited track in a persistent world?

[shy moss]

would someone be able to help me? currently wishing to increase the capactiy of the cargo storage containers that the game offers, but don't know how. any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

[wild ocean]

ibishu something

[nocturne turret]

Hello, is there another similar mod or a new version because the version of this mod requires an update?

[rapid breach]

Anyone know if there's any mods to make the clutch more realistic? Ie, a stock clutch that can only hold 300 hp and will slip if under more load?

[drowsy leaf]

first of all, dont use modland
its garbage and that mod is stolen from somewhere else

[nocturne turret]

If you give me another site I would be grateful.

is there a mod that does the same thing or something similar I need it for machine resistance

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/cheat-panel-soon.19556/
the original one also seems broken

as far as i know, nothing else exists for undestructible vehicles

[nocturne turret]

I downloaded it from here to my PC but it tells me it needs an update and it doesn't work. Nothing.

[drowsy leaf]

well then if the original one doesnt work then you are out of luck

[nocturne turret]

I don't know why but on the new version the calculations were destroyed too quickly.

I would need something similar for this, thank you for answering me.

I apologize if I don't understand very well but I'm using the translator.

[white pier]

Idk if this count as modding but I've been tryna make this skin for the kenemation camry mod (I have no clue what I'm doing) Does anyone know how to get rid of the NO TEXTURE? Thanks so much!

[inland urchin]

yall i need help

theres this mod called generated backfire that brakes my game when i dont remove it from unpacked mod file and it keeps coming back, ive reinstalled the game and it still pops up plsss help

[potent mulch]

I somehow managed to loose the files and I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it.

I added a "handbrake release" to the center diff on several cars (let's go with pessima for now)
In the jbeam file for the transaxle, I added a rally transaxle which was copied from the vivian, then added a varible for the jhandbrake release like this:

["$lsdhandbrakeRel_C", "range", "%", "Differentials", 0.5, 0, 1, "Handbrake Release", "How much to release center diff with Handbrake", {"minDis":0, "maxDis":100, "subCategory":"Center"}]

Then I used that as a coefficient to add to the handbrake input something like
$=$lsdhandbrakerelease*$handbrake

I can't rememeber what the input from the handbrake was called.

Then finally I took like
$=$existingVariable*$lsdhandbrakerelease*$handbrake
for one of the bits in the powertrain section
["differential", "transfercase", "gearbox", 1, {"diffType":"lsd", "lsdPreload":"$lsdpreload_C", "lsdLockCoef":"$=$lsdlockcoef_C", "lsdRevLockCoef":"$lsdlockcoefrev_C", "diffTorqueSplit":"$=1-$difftorquesplit_C", "friction":5, "uiName":"Center Differential","defaultVirtualInertia":0.1,"speedLimitCoef":0.1}]

I can't remember what the variablename for the handbrake input was, or which section I added it in.

If you're not clear on what this is meant to do, when you pull the handbrake it should release the center diff by the set amount in %.
So if the handbrake release is set to 100% and you pull the handbrake 100%, it should completely free the diff, meaning it behaves like a front wheel drive car.
This is useful for rally driving so you can really swing the rear of the car around with full power going to the front wheels.

[misty onyx]

is that the d series with a facelift or nah

[viral pagoda]

Hi. Is there a mod for traffic laws ?

[thick niche]

Its entire diff body

[thick niche]

@drowsy leaf all knowing lichi, how do i go about having both sides of the mesh show. outside shows but inside doesn't. I remember it was something to do with backface culling

[drowsy leaf]

well your mesh needs to have both sides modled

or enable backface culling, but thats lazy and often looks bad and doesnt allow for proper texturing

[thick niche]

i can just make a duplicate and reverse the normals right and texture those correctly right.

[drowsy leaf]

use the solify modifier

[thick niche]

i've used it a few times, but it can cause issues w/ corners with more than 3 nodes, it'll start to spike. Which I can fix just takes a bit of time.

then one last question @drowsy leaf what controls where the headlights beams show up.

[cold pewter]

i love badging

[wild smelt]

Does anyone know if there's a TSD Rally mod?

[junior basin]

What is the mod ?

[sacred belfry]

This is Lucas Be's F2 Genesis mod, I'm creating a remake with the new F2 2024, work in progress😁

[analog maple]

What are some mods that I definitely want for engines, wheels and graphics

[thick niche]

ngl i kinda wanna restart again and make it correct scale XD

[dusk gust]

Is there any lore-friendly porsche 911 mods?(any gen is fine,but the older generations would be more appreciated)

[drowsy leaf]

F

[drowsy leaf]

Nein

[limpid token]

I was making one, but progress is halted and idk if I'll ever comeback to it

[thick niche]

any reason why? just lack of motivation?

[dusk gust]

ooh,thats looking pretty good
although this isnt most people's favorite gen im really fond of it so it wouldve been just perfect

[limpid token]

Pretty much not enough skill at that time, developement problems, I tried experimenting with a full fictional design but that ended up looking terrible and made me lose any motivation (remodel in the image, it looks ass😭)

But there's a chance I'll return to it

[limpid token]

But that will be looking similar to this just with a much better 3d model and interior

Not trying to confirm anything but ngl coming back to it would be cool asf

[thick niche]

reminds me of the fz5 model from liveforspeed

[dusk gust]

hey,the remodel isnt THAT bad!

..i mean,it isnt exactly good either but-

its not horrible mate

[limpid token]

Design wise it's bad imo

[night lichen]

can somebody check my message in #modding-general pls i need help making mods

[limpid token]

Topology wise much better than the first one but it started looking badly

[night lichen]

pls dont ping btw

[limpid token]

Sadly don't have enough time to teach

[night lichen]

k

can u tell me where i can learn

[limpid token]

Modding for dummies discord server

[night lichen]

ty

[dusk gust]

you know you can just change a few little things about the original design and be all good to go

[limpid token]

😭

[thick niche]

idk i think it looks good

[dusk gust]

you can see a mustang if you squint

[limpid token]

Yeah if I comeback to it i'll start from scratch and make a design similar to the original with some slight twists

[limpid token]

This but much better

[dusk gust]

well,if you do,one thing i reccomend is changing the headlights to a little more round-ish look similiar to the older 911s

well,not exactly similiar but uh,just imagine the regular old headlights of the 911 a little more rounded up

[limpid token]

This ain't bad

[dusk gust]

oh yeah,somethin like that

[junior basin]

OMG ! It will be free ?

[dusk gust]

[dry quarry]

is this too much?

[fallow robin]

bro yes😭

thats not how you jbeam omg, your thinking of it as modeling

look at a stock ingame car for reference

[dense jungle]

it should be more square

[dry quarry]

this better?

just moved some nodes around from the etk

space them out more

also try to follow the shape of the bumper

[left karma]

vrum

[dreamy terrace]

So I'm just curious to know if anyone can help.

I think I'm missing a line of code in something because I have a few mods for police car additions, and when I use certain cars made by a specific developer, the AI will chase me instead of chasing the original person. It's a little hard to explain but basically when I use another police variant car, they will chase the main guy and not me, but when I use this certain developers car, they'll chase me if I break any sort of traffic laws.

Does anyone know the proper fix for this? I've scowered the internet and nothing (That works).

[elder kernel]

I've had multiple requests to get photos and stick them somewhere so someone can get this livery onto a Pigeon. Where is the best place to share photos and is there anything that will make it easier?

[brazen cypress]

Bro casually has a pigeon

[misty onyx]

hey its the man building the pigeon

[elder kernel]

I have 3.5 weeks till it has to be "road legal" for a annual moped run here in New Zealand. I can't wait!

[misty onyx]

dang man i wish you good luck!

[shut nimbus]

thats so cool man

[sacred belfry]

of course! 🙂

[sacred belfry]

no, it's a remake of lucas be's mod, the F2 Genesis which is outdated, my mod is still in development and I would need his permission to post my mod

[junior basin]

You will make another BeamNG cars IRL ?

[elder kernel]

Not at this stage. Only planning for pigeon add-ons like camper, gavril pontoon, trailer and oil drum boat and of course have to do obnoxiously large engine mounted on the back!

[dusk gust]

Ah,alright

[dusk gust]

ooh,you got any ideas on where you can find fitting headlights and signals or do you gotta make them custom?

[elder kernel]

I've made them custom. Can't use std lights in front as I need them shallow for more leg room.

[dusk gust]

oh come on that sounds so much cooler compared to the normal pigeon

ohh,doors still dont have latches it seems
