[hushed hound]

I can try to mske the mod for you, i have found a mod templste fike from the beamng official website

[bronze cloud]

I really appreciate it - the truth is I was just looking for a quality place that visits Kia Sportage and Chevy Blazer - usually these are hard to find vehicles.

[drowsy leaf]

if you have no experience you arent getting anywhere

[thick niche]

lol

[queen wharf]

Someone with the RK engines mod I would love some help on not melting cylinder walls

It is the first time I tuned an engine to be this powerful

[thick niche]

did you add oil coolers

[queen wharf]

Let me check

[thick niche]

and oil cooler nozzles

[queen wharf]

I think I did, but I had just engine swapped it so migth have forgotten

[thick niche]

yeah rk is in depth you gotta go through the whole thing

[queen wharf]

I did

Two big cooling nozzles, oil cooler

I have built many engines before but this one has me stumped, I am a bit sleep deprived tbf

Sweet Jesus this has oer 3.6k hp

I built this as a testbed of sorts

Maybe it just isn't achivable to run without having to repair th eengine

It fixed itself somehow

Nvm it is because I changed it form aircooled to watercooled, it was on bolide settings lol

[hushed hound]

With blender and a plugin that crrates the jbeam file, is actually pretty easy, plus, i sm a pro blender modeller

[thick niche]

that blender plugin is barely any good

and often doesn't export correctly
You still need to manually adjust the nodes

[drowsy leaf]

yeah i know the plugin, it doesnt do the entire work for you
you have to manually add the nodes, beams triangles + then code their strenght and allathat

[ocean mauve]

it doesnt magically create a jbeam for you. it just allows you to edit one in 3d, instead of text

[thick niche]

"note the "edit" part" not creation

[hushed hound]

Ot would be pretty hard...if i wouldn't fhave found the basics exitsble sample files grom beamng developers themselves

[drowsy leaf]

that doesnt mean anything
that is a simple tutorial wiht verybasic things, not enough to make a full car

[thick niche]

that template is for the piccolina though right?

[drowsy leaf]

yeah its the picollina kit car thingy

not a kia ev9

[thick niche]

yeah so very limited rear engine vw style'd suspension

[hushed hound]

I eill yry to make my own mod, a little try is not bad as not trying

You mess with it at all?

[drowsy leaf]

dont require that i already know how to do that

[thick niche]

Ah

[glossy prawn]

If I link a mod that isn't approved yet and someone clicks on it, what happens?

Like if I post the beamNG forum link to my creation, but it isn't approved yet, and someone clicks on it, does it just show a 404 or

[tired coyote]

It errors saying that the resource can't be found

[glossy prawn]

Fair enough

[maiden mulch]

so theres a mod called 300BX which you probably heard of, and theres a known bug that with the RB20 engine swap, you can't start it once it turns off, I was wondering if that could be fixed by changing something in the mods files and code?

[dry quarry]

where can i find the folder of the icons

[maiden mulch]

nvm i managed to fix it by adding a startertorque: 600 line to the rb20's code

[still grove]

how with beammp do i do the AI

it never works it just loads with the clock symbol forever and it barley spawns in any cars

Does anyone know a mod for the t series that allows rear fenders like the bayverse prime?

Even maybe g1 prime

Cuz I found a mod skin pack (didn’t really find it it was at the top of the repository) and it came with a bunch of TF liveries

Buuuuuut there’s no rear fenders for the t series so I’m just asking if there is a mod for it

[barren magnet]

someone was making some but i cant recall who and how far along it was

[green summit]

Hi there. I'm really amazed by the hell raiser sounding mods but it adds separate engines that are not available for every car. Moreover, I have to re-tune the car after the engine swap, and sometimes it's wrong and brake transmission or something else. Isn't there a way to just apply these sounds on any engine to simplify the thing?

[quick pagoda]

welcome to beamng ig?? this isnt forza

[bold nimbus]

IVE TRIED ANOTHER CAR AND IT WAS ALMOST UNTOUCHED

[bold nimbus]

it was one of default cars

and it was same size

[quick pagoda]

sorry but is there any eta?

[frank cove]

Different cars can have different safety standards especially depending on the era

The AW Goal is a fine mod and represents 90s Volkswagens well the last time I used it

[bronze cloud]

I want to give a shoutout to this channel for taking my suggestion of doing SUV races seriously. I’m not there yet, but I’m also planning to do something similar. Show them some love, vote in the poll, and it’s going to be interesting! 🙂

[quick pollen]

What

[bronze cloud]

This is a unique channel that organizes interesting races.

Youtube

[quick pollen]

Well a SUV race controls by AI isn’t what I call interesting but anyway

I don’t see why you post this in a modding channel

[slim spire]

Is there a mod or a way to add like a camera shake for the orbit camera when driving fast?

[bronze cloud]

He just uses mini mods of interest so I thought it might be of interest to people here. Still, I wanted to cheer

[nocturne spire]

discussion about modding the game not about lame races

[near stag]

waiting for it to be approved on repository rn, i can send it in dms in the meantime

[quick pagoda]

its fine, im looking forward to it!

[past oasis]

how do i remove missing previews from deleted mods

[wild ridge]

some1 know where i can download nice civic 4-6 gen mods for free ?

[ocean mauve]

Go to your userfolder, then to 0.33>vehicles> and delete the fullsuv folder

[latent ivy]

is there any lamborghini urus on ko-fi

[sly cape]

hi new to this game when i download my car mod it will not show up in my cars in garge any ideas

[barren magnet]

where are you installing your mods

[sly cape]

In the mods folder in the root folder of the game I watched YouTube video

I just carnt see the mod in my garage

[drowsy leaf]

root folder of the game?

you mean where the game files are?

[sly cape]

Yes

[cyan drum]

the one that tells you

[ember cloud]

i actually can't wait

[ember cloud]

i cant wait for volumetric clouds

its going to up the realism

from 100

to 1000000000000

[cyan drum]

ok

[gleaming iron]

Hey can I pay someone here to make me a black 2004 Jeep LJ mod?

[cyan drum]

nope

[gleaming iron]

Where can I go for that?

[cyan drum]

nowhere

[gleaming iron]

Oh

Who makes mods

[drowsy leaf]

i do

[cyan drum]

a lot of people, just not custom requests

[gleaming iron]

Can you make me that

[ashen oriole]

Can someone please tell me is their a Durango or Chrysler 300 in the shop

[drowsy leaf]

guess how much time it would take me to make that, if you are right, ill consider it

[cyan drum]

you're underestimating the cost of a whole car

[drowsy leaf]

if you want to buy one of those shitty ass mods, dont

any paid car mod that is not on beamng.com/forums is most likely a low efford scam

[ashen oriole]

Idk I’m new to the game

[drowsy leaf]

your role says otherwise

[ashen oriole]

Crap how do I change it again

[gleaming iron]

How much would you charge me to make that

[drowsy leaf]

in the ballpark of 14k €

[ashen oriole]

Ight nvm I’ll figure it out

[gleaming iron]

Just for a mod on beamNG

[drowsy leaf]

assuming you are paying for the time it takes to develop it at industry standard prices for all the knowledge and skill needed, yes

[gleaming iron]

How long would it take you

[drowsy leaf]

4-6 months

basically you would be paying my salary as a modeler, texturer, coder for that time

[gleaming iron]

Shoot I’m just new to this so I don’t know anything

[ember cloud]

there are so many mods coming out that will be free or just wip

like, yes!🤩

[ocean mauve]

i will pay you $1.75 to make me a pontiac aztek

[drowsy leaf]

hard deal right there

[shrewd cape]

How do I make my graphics look very good with mods?

[frank cove]

The only "graphics" mod I have seen is the paid early access volumetric clouds

[shrewd cape]

Are there any free ones? And by graphics I just mean anything that will make it look better, I found some realistic shaders but I couldn’t figure out how to install

[ocean mauve]

ReShade

[sly cape]

What does this mean when I download my mods I can't see them in my garage

[shrewd cape]

would you say thats the best option? over smth like this: www.modland.net/beamng.drive-mods/other/vip-graphics-reshade-mod-beyond-the-realism-4krt-2025-graphics-reshade-mod-ultra-realistic-vip-igworks.html

[cyan drum]

avoid modland

[shrewd cape]

oh ok

where should i look? i downloaded cars from there is that fine

[cyan drum]

modland is highly discouraged, use the official site

beamng.com

[shrewd cape]

is that the same stuff thats in the game? like that list of downloadable mods in the repository?

[cyan drum]

yes and no

the repo is also available on the website but there's a different section which is the forums

[shrewd cape]

how do i know if that Reshade thing is working?

i installed it

@ocean mauve

[ocean mauve]

no

[shrewd cape]

wdym no

[shrewd cape]

wait also is there a mod that adds traffic? i was looking through the repository and couldnt find anything.

[ocean mauve]

you pinged me, im not available

[cyan drum]

traffic has been inside the game since like 5 years ago

[shrewd cape]

yeah i just realized. i couldnt find any at first

[dense bluff]

[delicate flame]

Hello, could someone send me the two files of the Gavril MD Series and the GAVRIL D15? Please, thank you.

[ocean mauve]

You can find them in your Steam folder, then ..\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles\

[delicate flame]

Hello, I know, but however I had a problem my two files were deleted, that's why I'm asking for the two files

[ocean mauve]

You can redownload them very easily by using Steam to verify your game files
https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

It will check all game files, then redownload any missing ones

[delicate flame]

Yes, but i can lost all my mods ?

[ocean mauve]

Not if your mods are installed in the right location (So your userfolder, not the games main folder)

[orchid ferry]

how hard is it to create a karting track?

i went karting yesterday and i really loved the circuit

[dawn tiger]

With the new road architect tool probably not too hard

[dense jungle]

even more buses in general, aside from the daewon, capsule bus and wentward, there isnt really that many excluding school buses

[feral junco]

Would it be possible (if I get the skills and time) to add dynamic mirrors to all the older beamng mods that are sadly abandoned ? (Without tanking the fps)

[ocean mauve]

Once you have some basic modding knowledge, I'd argue adding dynamic mirror support is relatively easy

Here's some info that might help:
https://www.beamng.com/threads/how-to-add-dynamic-mirrors-to-your-modification.96483/
and
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/mirrors/

[night wren]

should an xml file be in a beamng mod

[feral junco]

Ok tks

[ocean mauve]

Haven't seen it before, not sure why a mod would have that. Though it wouldn't be anything to worry about, xml is just used to store data (much like json/jbeam), not to run any sketchy code or anything

[feral junco]

Oh hell I got some learning to do 😅

[night wren]

Ah alright good to know do you know any file types that absolutely should not be in a mod besides .exe

[ocean mauve]

Sure, you'd need some basic modding skills and to learn your way around a .jbeam, but once you do, mirror support is as easy as giving the mirror model the right material, and adding a small section to the .jbeam

[feral junco]

I used to make power mods for jbeams and modifying the strength and the torque curve but never into texturing

[ocean mauve]

Can't think of any others that I'd consider dangerous.
Main file types in a mod would be .jbeam/.json/.dae/.png/.jpg/.dds/.pc/ plus some other miscellaneous ones (feel free to ping me if you want to know about any of those)

[ocean mauve]

Oh good, that'll help.
As for the mirror material, it doesn't have anything to do with texturing. It's as simple as renaming the mirrors material in blender
(I'd have to check what the exact names are, but you can just look at any vanilla car's mirrors for that)

[feral junco]

Ok. Thank you soon much. Have a great evening (in my timezone at least) but thanks

[coral arrow]

True

[narrow cobalt]

How do I fix outdated vehicle mods from not driving straight?

[misty bobcat]

what are the "must have mods" for beamng?

looking for some cool ones that add vehicles, maps, engines, transmissions, etc

[ocean mauve]

There is a pinned message with a list, though it hasn't been updated in a while #mods-discussion message

[misty bobcat]

Ok, i'll check it out

[narrow cobalt]

Nvm I could probably work it out as this mod is an addon for a vanilla car and so I can directly compare the troublesome steering arm.

[misty bobcat]

another random question and i'm not sure if you know but is Modland good for mods? I've heard some people say there's cool stuff on there but i've also heard it's the worst place to get mods lol

So far I've only used the built in BeamNG repository

[ocean mauve]

Not recommended. Lots of low quality and/or stolen mods, and potentially even virusses. The only official places to get mods from are the in-game repository, the website version of that same repository (https://www.beamng.com/resources/) and the forums (https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/)

Paid mods use 3rd party sites for the payment, like Ko-Fi, Gumroad, Patreon. Just make sure the mod has a forum page too, like this one for example https://www.beamng.com/threads/gavril-scout-18-24-paid.88644/

And lastly, the search function of the forums is... not great. If you're looking for something specific, try googling site:beamng.com and then whatever you are looking for behind it

[dense jungle]

dont listen to those that say to get mods from there, only the repo and the forums is safe, basically refer to Subie's message

[misty bobcat]

That's what i assumed, and thanks for the search tip i'll definitely use that because i feel like the in game search sucks as well lol

[dry quarry]

How do I export blender materials to a main.materials file? There has to be another option rather than doing it by hand

As far as I know, there is no way to do that

How would I make money from it? Paid mods?

[barren magnet]

or having more time for doing other stuff

[nova ledge]

Ah that's true

[quick pagoda]

how would i add a custom mustang engine sound to this?

Also i added a custom fork option how do i jbeam this?

[sonic bane]

How would I go about adding hydraulics to a car mod that doesn't have them

[dawn tiger]

ad hydros to the jbeam and would have to set them to use a specific key to activate

[sonic bane]

uh so isn't it kinda funny I didn't understand one thing you said

[dawn tiger]

haha send me a dm and i can help u lol

[sonic bane]

ok

[quick pagoda]

theres a fix on reddit for that

gotta unpack the mod and replace some file

[lyric crescent]

Help?!?!?

[dawn tiger]

you just need to extend the jbeam and ad some extra beams to keep the strength

[lyric crescent]

how tho

they need new locations

[dawn tiger]

just use blender to move them and add new beams thats what i do

[lyric crescent]

huh

[dawn tiger]

one question has anyone swedish ambulance mods

[plucky hound]

Does anyone know how I'd create quick LUA buttons to

1. Trigger police to chase me
2. Trigger a nearby vehicle to flee me (when I'm in a cop car)?

WRT point 1, I'm talking about police cars already spawned in AI traffic. In freeroam, not with some pre-built missions and paths I have to spend time setting up...
Yes, I can Spawn (Police) and crash into them to start a chase, but then half of all AI traffic is police, and all of them are either beetles or SWAT... trucks.

I prefer the police Sunbursts that appear when I Spawn (Normal). As a side note - these sometimes don't appear when I spawn AI traffic. Is there a way to force some of them to spawn when I click Spawn (Normal? Thanks.

yall is there an easy way to use custom mods on a beamng server and manage dowloads

[wicked karma]

• for those who are experienced, anyone know where i can find the AMD FSR files are located in the beamNG folder(...??) to manually update them to 3.1.2 thats just a side upgrade outside the drivers? the new fsr 3.1(update 2) helps more with anti aliasing or something and heard it would help vr performance and really want to see if it will.

feel free to ping or DM.

[crisp sequoia]

I need the best toyota landcruiser mod asap

[dense jungle]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/toyota-land-cruiser-j80.90696/ not sure why its asap and it needs to be the best, but this is the best one available

[dawn tiger]

Im pretty confident there arent any amd fsr files in beam at all

[steep flume]

Hello guys can anyone tell me what is the best quality and otherwise BMW M5 F90 or 5 series mod on modland, that has pre-facelift and facelift version(LCI), because there is too many of them...

[dense jungle]

none

definitely not on modland

[steep flume]

why

modland is the best site for beamng mods

[dense jungle]

no

[steep flume]

that i know

[dense jungle]

nonnonononnnonono

[steep flume]

which one do u use then

[dense jungle]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ the repo and the forums https://www.beamng.com/forums/vehicles.26/

those are the only places alongside #1102973298222051358 you should be getting mods from

[cyan drum]

modland is the opposite of that

there is virtually 0 moderation of what's uploaded there

[drowsy leaf]

nah
ive seen furry porn, porn, viruses, and hundreds of fake mods, reuploaded mods from beamng.com which is the official game site and repuloads of existing mods. not good in the least

[steep flume]

because u are not careful

that is on you

[cyan drum]

lol

[steep flume]

i never download newly uploaded mods except they are from someone verified, but still i check the, read comments, look at likes and similar

[cyan drum]

even then modland is filled with garbage meshslaps

[steep flume]

which site do u use then?

[cyan drum]

official site like everyone mentally sane

[drowsy leaf]

no its because i was friends with the guy that uploaded the furry porn and ive uploaded like 5 fake mods

[cyan drum]

it's not rocket science

[steep flume]

wym

[drowsy leaf]

beamng.com

the offical beamng website

where half of modland mods come from since they are just taken from there

[steep flume]

bro what are u talking about

beamng mods do not have real cars

like bmw audi merc and similar

[cyan drum]

yes they do

beamng forums are there for a reason

[steep flume]

send tha link bro

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/forums/land.44/ do you have the reading comprehension of a monkey

just filter by released tag

this is just the first page of many

or google this

BMW site:beamng.com

[dense jungle]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/bmw-e36-revamp-1-6.84153/ fym it doesnt

theres plenty, but beggars cant be choosers

[steep flume]

i only see a few

for me modland is easier

[cyan drum]

don't use the search engine, it's ass

[dense jungle]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/audi-rs6-rs7-c8-4k-2020.90753/

[steep flume]

yeah i see

[cyan drum]

do this instead

[steep flume]

people really need to learn how to use search engines

[dense jungle]

to be fair to those people, they have turned to shit in the past few years

but yes they still do

[cyan drum]

modern problems require modern solutions

[steep flume]

i cant find the m5 f90

[frank cove]

Yeah google is ass as a search engine now. I need to learn the search syntax so I can actually find what I am looking for

[dense jungle]

then theres not one on the forums

[frank cove]

Is that not just the ETK 800?

[steep flume]

see, thats why i use modland

[frank cove]

I know its not the same but the 800 is a 5 series iirc

[cyan drum]

modland mods are shit

[dense jungle]

again, beggars cant be choosers

[steep flume]

bro i want the real car

[cyan drum]

beggars can't be choosers

[frank cove]

Have fun with viruses lol. Most if not all of modland is awful mods too

[cyan drum]

the car you're looking for is likely an etk underneath anyways

[frank cove]

It'll still be an ETK 800 just with a different skin :kek:

[cyan drum]

if you manage to find it on modland

[frank cove]

Exaaactly lol

[steep flume]

i know but yeah

[drowsy leaf]

that is probably literally just a fucking etk800 and probably drives like a fucking etk800

[cyan drum]

you're just fooling yourself

[drowsy leaf]

yeah literally

[frank cove]

Lore cars > real cars

Every single day of the week

There is not enough mechanical data available to effectively replicate a real life car unless you either own it and take it fully apart, or you make a licensed mod and get data direct from the manufacturer

[dense jungle]

there are some good real ones

like lucas' delorean

[frank cove]

Tbh I just steer clear of most real car mods. But if LBE made it its probably good

[cyan drum]

modland links are banned for several reasons btw

[dense jungle]

its dated like theres no gear stick animations and he was forced to abandon the back to the future parts, but who can blame him

[steep flume]

this one is good

[frank cove]

If its exclusively on ModLand its not good

[cyan drum]

nope

[steep flume]

you can see it by downloads and likes

[dense jungle]

thats irrelevant

[drowsy leaf]

want me to prove you wrong

[frank cove]

Its not even up to date is it

[steep flume]

modland is better than using random russian sites

[cyan drum]

trusting them is like relying purely on chatgpt for up to date information

[frank cove]

0.33 is current version yes?

[steep flume]

yeah

[dense jungle]

thats like saying manufactured landfill on amazon is good because the reviews are botted

[frank cove]

Modland is a russian site iirc

[cyan drum]

modland is a russian site lmfao

[drowsy leaf]

yeah modland is as unmoderated as russian sites

[frank cove]

(Nothing against russians, just their rules are more lax)

[steep flume]

yeah but its not random

[cyan drum]

it is

[steep flume]

its popular

[drowsy leaf]

i mean you can anonimously upload shit

[dense jungle]

popular doesnt automatically mean good

[cyan drum]

I'm not against russians, but I'm against some russians

[drowsy leaf]

yeah tiktok is popular but its just not good

[frank cove]

I have had ALL of my mods re uploaded there lol. Despite them being free and available direct from repo

[wicked karma]

i beg to differ with some, havent found a sn95 mustang mod with proper suspension geometry from the forums but did else where, non mesh slap car and drove/drifted like the real deal when setup a bit- this is with a DD wheel setup aswell and the ffb was clean from lock to lock along with proper suspension travel it felt perfect. for those who are curious its the (99_04stang) mod

[frank cove]

They can be good to drive, doesn't mean they are effective replicas

[drowsy leaf]

yeah the only current sn95 on the forums is a 200bx modified thing and uses bx suspension

[frank cove]

That explains why it drifts good

Does the SN95 and BX share any suspension design principles?

[wicked karma]

3d model was accurate other than some textures was all. it could be higher quality but it's perfect without high res textures for vr gameplay since even running a 7900xtx/4090 with a decent cpu still struggles since vulkan is experimental.

[frank cove]

iirc the SN95 is straight axle which the BX very much is not

[wicked karma]

sn95 has straight 4 link axle in rear and then a irs unibody for the cobra+ trims

[frank cove]

The 3D model is like 15% of a good car mod

[wicked karma]

its 3d model is good like i said, just could benefit from some higher quality textures is all.

[frank cove]

So not at all similar to a BX? BX is MacPherson rear suspension iirc

[wicked karma]

no plus no driftgear steering which feels lazy on a dd wheel.

[frank cove]

So the mod is not at all accurate to a Mustang besides the body looking close ish.

This is why I don't like real car mods lolol

[wicked karma]

it is suspension geometry wise.

[frank cove]

(Not hating y'all can like what you like, I am very particular about details)

[frank cove]

If Lichi is to be belived its BX suspension

[wicked karma]

i said that in earlier messages, i own the cars in real life and it represents them well.

[frank cove]

BX has very different suspension to a SN95

[wicked karma]

it doesnt feel like the 200bx in comparison if you drive one or the other, setups dont work the same either.

the vanilla 200bx has felt lazy since the driftgear front suspension update.

which the sn95 mod doesnt utilize, sure i dont know if its 200bx jbeam for sure but with a little setup it does drive very close to the real deal.

[drowsy leaf]

@steep flume
random non matching thumnail
literally uses the same description for everything that comes from the normal etk800
these light textures suck, they are just plain colors
the badges are modeled which is just throwing performance away
the underbody looks horrible
the jbeam is a VERY badly edited etk800 literally doesnt fit
horrible crash deformation
this engine model is super unoptimized, i would know that since i literally make engine models, its my whole thing
the chassis shackes
the engine model is literally a worse version of the already bad vanilla etk800 v8, same for the exhaust

[dense jungle]

theres no excuse for that

[drowsy leaf]

the intercoolers, and ac condenser are part of the radsupport, when they shoudlnt be
horrible wheel, brake and tire textures
if you remove the rear inner wells which is named podrikok for some reason, there is just a hole
all the materials are doublesided which is a huge hit in performance
what the fuck is this infotainment
russina tier mod

[steep flume]

This is the one I have been using

[drowsy leaf]

also the ambient temperature, km gauge, fuel gauge is just a lie

[frank cove]

Thats the same one Lichi is ranting about lolol

[steep flume]

is it the same one?

[drowsy leaf]

the one you sent is supposed ot be a remake of that i think

[steep flume]

lemme see wait

[drowsy leaf]

and its fucking shit at a remake

[cyan drum]

remakes that usually end up being the same if not worse quality than the original mod

[drowsy leaf]

it also removes about 30 fps from my game which is super good

[steep flume]

why does my game instantly launch, i dont get the launch game or vulkan menu

[drowsy leaf]

so i think i proved my point enough

[steep flume]

before u open the game

[frank cove]

That level of poor optimization is genuinely impressive

[dense jungle]

thank fuck you're in this server to debunk shit like that

modland mods never fail to disappoint

[steep flume]

there are good ones tho

[cyan drum]

no

[steep flume]

but hard to find or they are paid

[frank cove]

Doubt

[steep flume]

kenemation makes the best quality mods

[cyan drum]

paid modland mods are an even worse convo lmfao

[cyan drum]

absofuckinglutely not

[frank cove]

Paid modland mods are the BIGGEST scam known to man

[drowsy leaf]

which is surprising when the ccf has more screens, a fully working infotainment, radio, glow, parking sensors.... yet it still performs twice better than that horribly unoptimized mods

[dense jungle]

just no

[cyan drum]

your standards are very low

[dense jungle]

bait used to be believable

[frank cove]

lol

[drowsy leaf]

yeah you are just baiting

[steep flume]

then who makes the best mods?

[drowsy leaf]

like everyone even crappy modland mod lovers hate kenemations

[steep flume]

no thats just my opinion and from what i have seen

[cyan drum]

the best car mods are not real car mods
among those people are lucasbe, theo/finn wilkinson and lj

[drowsy leaf]

LucasBE
Theo Wilkinson
Finn WIlkinson
Nekkit
LJ
Kueso

[dense jungle]

off the top of my head

Theo, FInn and LucasBE

[drowsy leaf]

you need to go to get glasses real quick mate

[steep flume]

do they make real car mods?

[dense jungle]

all of which have a positive reputation for making good quality mods

[drowsy leaf]

no

[dense jungle]

Lucas has made a delorean

[cyan drum]

only LJ does and he doesn't make the cars you're looking for

[frank cove]

LBE, Theo, TalkingBath, TrackPad, AgentY all have to be up there (I prob forgot a few)

[steep flume]

im talking about real cars guys

[dense jungle]

https://youtu.be/rqf7mmASA3Q https://youtu.be/A0JjJnM03bo

[cyan drum]

we're not

you said best, clarify better next time

[drowsy leaf]

they make their own design which is already more work than real life car mods, they have to make the models themselves, instead of getting them from other videogames and no we are talking about the best mods, clarify next time

[frank cove]

95% of Real car mods are not any good

[steep flume]

okay but still

[frank cove]

And most use stolen content from other mods or games

[steep flume]

i couldnt see myself playing beamng with only beamng official cars

[drowsy leaf]

still what
the mod you said was good has been one of the worst modland mods ive had the displeasure of trying
Its clear that you dont have a fucking clue of what you are talking about

[cyan drum]

this game is not for you then

[steep flume]

they are good but I like to see some realism

[drowsy leaf]

yeah just go play assetto corsa, which coincidentally most modland mods steal the models from

[frank cove]

You like real badges not realism

[steep flume]

It is I love beamng i play it the most its just my statement

[dense jungle]

i don't model vehicles for beamng yet the effort I put into my models is far more than those on modland do

about 50% of the mods ther with the other 50% being stolen from the repo & forums

[frank cove]

Lore cars are SOO much more realistic in every way possible as compared to 95% of IRL car mods

[drowsy leaf]

i can assure you that this
https://www.beamng.com/resources/2020-hirochi-ccf.29318/
is much better than any mx5 mod you can find

[dense jungle]

beggars still cant be choosers

[steep flume]

yeah everyone got their opinion

[drowsy leaf]

some peoples is just completly invalid, which is your case

[steep flume]

i have it

[cyan drum]

except your opinion is based on "woo real badges" instead of actual knowledge

[drowsy leaf]

literally^^

[steep flume]

but still some cars from modland got similar things that the hirochi has

[frank cove]

I don't understand why people shit themselves when a Civic type vehichle has an Ibishu Badge instead of a Honda one

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/?order=rating_weighted any of the mods found here are probably more realistic than this

[cyan drum]

such as?

[dense jungle]

because theyre stolen off of it most likely

[drowsy leaf]

yeah thats why zeit, who made the infotainment for the ccf and the centauri, has been sending dmca takedowns due to stolen code

like
3 or 4 times already

[frank cove]

Nothing good comes from Modland or any other unoffical source
(Only exception being pages run by creators for their community such as BDR and BeamMonsters)

[steep flume]

mercedes cls that i got

[cyan drum]

that tells me nothing

[dense jungle]

if it has the same infotainment, then thats just stolen

[cyan drum]

I asked for the "features" the cars have

[drowsy leaf]

oh i remember that one, probably a leaked version of a paid mod that zeit had to copyright strike because it stole the entire code from the CCF

[steep flume]

yeah like animated sunroof cover and sunroof opening

[dense jungle]

stolen from the ccf

[cyan drum]

that's nothing

[cyan drum]

ccf doesn't have a sunroof

[drowsy leaf]

thats nothing i can do that in like 2 hours

[steep flume]

let me find it

[dense jungle]

the centarui?

[frank cove]

Centurai does though iirc

[dense jungle]

that one^

[frank cove]

Great mod that (A bit FPS instense tho)

Unrelated; is it odd that I only have 3-5 mods downloaded at a time?

[cyan drum]

nope

[dense jungle]

no

[frank cove]

(Aside from my own projects and UI app stuff, then its maybe 10)

[cyan drum]

I only have 1-3 mods active at the same time

[dense jungle]

i mean i have about 150 downloaded but im only using a few at a time

2 are mine, majority from the repo with a few paid ones and the rest from the forums

[frank cove]

Yeah same. I used to have LOADS but I moved them all to my MP server so I can use them when playing the game with friends

[dense jungle]

specifically the segra, scout and picnic

[drowsy leaf]

yeah i play with like 50 mods active and i mostly just use the stock i series or some tuned engine i made for it

[frank cove]

Piccolina >>> (idk why I always use it but I do)

Its just good at everything while being interesting

[cyan drum]

and those mods are the ones I make lol

[steep flume]

cant find it tho

[dense jungle]

(can steam stop stopping me from typing thanks)
im the same, ive made my own etk 800, k and i series but those are way too slow in comparison

[steep flume]

there is too many

[cyan drum]

I also sometimes mix and match my own mods

[dense jungle]

the fastest ive got

[steep flume]

guys why my game instantly launches, i dont get the menu launch game vulkan and etc.

[frank cove]

Johnson Valley Speedruns are fun. I need to make a map with a giant desert highway for realistic speedruns similar to what Konigsegg and SSC do

[frank cove]

Probably a modland mod broke it

[steep flume]

nah

[cyan drum]

try again from steam

[steep flume]

ive been using modland since 2020

[cyan drum]

ew

[steep flume]

i did same thing

[cyan drum]

verify file integrity

[frank cove]

I never launch the game from steam tbh. I have more hours in some maps than the tracker on steam says I have total 😅

[cyan drum]

and make sure you don't have any custom launch parameters from steam

if none of those fixed that then I'm afraid I can't help

[dense jungle]

one last thing

please say you know how to properly install mods @steep flume

[steep flume]

i do

mods folder

[frank cove]

Spaces in file names tells me all I need to know about modland mods lolol

Not as much of an issue with modern systems but still not ideal

[steep flume]

I changed those

there were underlines but i like my stuff organised

everything is good

might be a common beamng bug

[frank cove]

That could be the problem. Unlikely but could be

[frank cove]

Tbh I have never heard of it. I would make a new directory folder with no mods to see if you can replicate the problem

Just name your current folder 0.33MODS and make a new 0.33 folder

[steep flume]

it aint

[dense jungle]

do you know that for sure?

[frank cove]

If you are unwilling to try then I suppose I cannot help

[steep flume]

myb this is the problem

yup

it was lol

[dense jungle]

right here

[steep flume]

yeah i saw that

[steep flume]

had to do this bc beamng wont let me change my resolution i click apply it just stays the same

[drowsy leaf]

what do you use the launcher for

if you use it to launch vulkan do -gfx vk

or for directx11 just do -gfx dx11

[steep flume]

oh

i used vulkan this time

[wicked karma]

any one noticed faster loading times and less lag if you've loaded the game via DX into a map then closed down then loaded into vulkan? noticed my game doesnt hang like usual with new maps if i do this first- may be a VR only issue.

[steep flume]

this mod aint bad

[wicked karma]

better instrument placement than assetto corsa for that car. the ui on the wheel(and gauge cluster) in ac on the new bmws is floating an inch back from the steering wheel. surprising to see- but i assume thats a large file car considering the textures.

[dawn tiger]

well if you got it from modland then its definitly pirated and stolen

[wicked karma]

90% leaks there of mesh slaps or WIPs/ then reuploaded with god knows what typically.

[steep flume]

yeah i did

[wicked karma]

is that the one with the large single turbo and bluetooth intakes behind the grille?

[steep flume]

idk

[wicked karma]

was posted in the last day or two i do believe. sure looks like it. but then again could be a totally different model like an m3 for all i know. not super into the new bmws or the mods for beam since they dont always bode well with VR due to optimization.

[steep flume]

no its an older mod

[wicked karma]

ahh so probably a reupload with other stolen parts added maybe.

[steep flume]

also i got an m3 f80 mod its good

[wicked karma]

i think thats what i was looking at, is it the large grille version?

[wicked karma]

im yet to find a decent driving bmw other than the e36 revamp from the forums that isnt stupidly sized due to no texture compression/optimization/ect.

[steep flume]

forum cars look outdated to me

[steep flume]

saw that one but i got other mod

[wicked karma]

^ this is the silly bmw mod with bluetooth intakes. g80 m4

[steep flume]

lool

[wicked karma]

the bmws you have look great tbh, if only they drove as well as they looked though.

[steep flume]

they do, the m5 f10 best car i have drove in the game the handling is something else and its easy to drift with

[wicked karma]

is it its own j beam or bastion based?

[wicked karma]

ive had alot of mods feel lacking in the ffb department at all speeds and almost little to no resistance while in drift on my fanatec csl dd pro

[wicked karma]

but again possibly a vulkan issue causing problems in my case. cant say for sure.

[steep flume]

not sure either

[wicked karma]

i remember being able to play beamMP servers with multiple of those bmw mods that are stupid high poly/huge file size during 0.32 but after 0.33 that stuff will just hard crash the game for me and im on a 5800x3d/7900xtx setup thats pretty overkill other than not being an am5 9800x3d system.

[cyan drum]

this is far too high poly

[cyan drum]

these rims look awful

[cyan drum]

whoever edited this should quit making mods

[wicked karma]

im assuming most of these 3d models are straigh rips of assetto mods- the poly count and lack of texture optimization is the same

[steep flume]

bro u are saying nonsense stuff

[cyan drum]

nope

[steep flume]

too much trash talking honestly

[cyan drum]

absolutely 0 texture work

[cyan drum]

this is how rims should look like

[steep flume]

no difference

just two different rims

[cyan drum]

lol no way modland pseudomodders still use prepbr emissives

[cyan drum]

there is a massive difference, mine have proper texturing work and slight wear/tear, and beveled edges made with textures, the bmw rims on the other hand lack any kind of texture work and, instead, they are a plain pale grayish looking material that looks terrible

[wicked karma]

is texture compression not a thing with beam mods like it is with AC, just curious because of the ridiculous file sizes of some of the car mods.

[cyan drum]

it is

[steep flume]

like who cares ur not gonna look at them while driving?

[cyan drum]

nope, but it shows the poor effort of the mod

and I care

[cyan drum]

most of the people who have eyes also care

[steep flume]

u can use the display on this one

[cyan drum]

yet it's still going to deform like shit

so much effort in the wrong aspects

[wicked karma]

gotta have all the eye candy as possible, forget optimization right?

[cyan drum]

yeah just throw it in the trash bin

[cyan drum]

this is precisely how modland pseudomodders fool people who got 0 clue of how car making works

[dense flax]

what about when you are taking screenshots

[cyan drum]

yet the only thing they do for making it behave properly is to poorly move nodes around fucking the suspension geometry in the process

[wicked karma]

i mean for beam his bmws and merc does look good in screen shots to an extent, i dont expect assetto high quality mods in beam but rather ones that drive decent and mostly look like the real deal.

[cyan drum]

nah they look like a modland meshslap

[wicked karma]

this im aware of, hence sticking to the ol 99_04stang mod.

i use the 99_04 STANG and dfa pack only basically since most mods drove with a lack of ffb/resistance on a direct drive. heard this was an issue of the steering components not properly being fully j-beamed or something.

dfa is just d series basically so that probably qualifies as a mesh slap since its just parts for it.

only mod pack i will say good things about though due to the optimization and attention to detail

[wicked karma]

think the real test to see if these bmw mods are any decent is if it doesnt plunge fps with a few traffic spawaned and vr enabled. single screen you can get away with a pretty mid gpu

[cyan drum]

nah they're all shit

[dense flax]

non lore friendly=scra0

[cyan drum]

they're always either forza or csr2 rips

[dense flax]

except like 5 good real vozidlo mods

[dense flax]

like LJs silvia

[cyan drum]

also modland mods have a fetish for stupidly bloomy lights

[dense flax]

its scratch modelled especially for beam which helps

[cyan drum]

as well as his csp311

or 113 I don't remember

[dense flax]

yeah thats what i meant

[cyan drum]

yeah yeah we get it you like modland mods

[dense flax]

idk what you are trying to prove

that could just be a prop for all we know

[wicked karma]

as some one who's played assetto for over 3500 hours i cant do lore friendly cars for long without getting bored. need classic muscle to mid 2000s muscle cars or real trucks in my case to keep myself entertained

[dense flax]

with cube jbeam

[steep flume]

no im just randomly sending

[dry quarry]

uhhh

[cyan drum]

#screenshots is for you

[steep flume]

this one could have a better interior

[steep flume]

this is discussion about modland mods

[cyan drum]

no you're just randomly posting screenshots of modland mods atp

brings nothing to the discussion lol

[dense flax]

modland mods or autron

pick your poison

[cyan drum]

uhhh

I'd pick the poosideh

[dense flax]

poosideh is best fr

and autron cacatron

[cyan drum]

fr

[cyan drum]

dude stop

[dense flax]

at least post cool cars bruh

[wicked karma]

you familiar with adding engines to existing mods from say hellraisers engine pack or rvsounds to mods that dont have the option to run them? random question i know but some one else explained it to me and i got a wee bit lost. - sounded like you said you did a bit of messing with mods so figured you may know.

[steep flume]

this one got too much bloom in interior

[dense flax]

its pretty easy

[cyan drum]

it also looks like someone squirted all over it

[steep flume]

they are

[steep flume]

lol fr

[dense flax]

depending if you want to swap the model too it makes it like 50% more difficult for someone who has never tried any modding before

[tired coyote]

that functionality is indeed entirely stolen from the ccf (and another mod of mine that is improperly implemented in this)

[wicked karma]

im only familiar with modding assetto and thats done a whole different way.

[dense flax]

audi a8 isnt cool

probably v6 cvt fwd

[steep flume]

its and s8

😭

[dense jungle]

that looks horrible

[steep flume]

not tryna act rude but u clearly got no car knowlegde

[cyan drum]

and you got no modding knowledge

[dense jungle]

as does this one

[steep flume]

not everything is american

[steep flume]

did I ever say I do?😂

[cyan drum]

nope but that's not needed given what kinda mods you glaze

[dense jungle]

you're showing rather than telling

[steep flume]

im not glazing

im just saying they are good

[cyan drum]

they aren't

[steep flume]

ur glazing urslef

[cyan drum]

and you got that proved

[dense jungle]

objectively, this is not good

[steep flume]

ur looking too much into details when it comes to real cars that are mods

[cyan drum]

and you are way too blind to realize of their flaws

[dense flax]

erm actually the 2nd generation audi A8 was avaliable with the 3.2 and CVT in a front wheel drive configuration

so YOU have no car knowledge

[steep flume]

idc bro while im driving i dont see no difference between official cars and them except crash physics

[dense flax]

i bet you dont even have a car

or have ever even driven one

[tired coyote]

well yes the driving dynamics will certainly be similar to the real life counterpart because the jbeam they use is literally based on the real life counterpart

crash physics being bad is a huge part in a game about simulating soft body physics

[steep flume]

lool i did

[steep flume]

yeah

[dry quarry]

Why is the part where the fins are attached also carbon

[tired coyote]

especially because its not really just crash physics but literally any sort of interaction with the outside world
aero is the other major factor

[cyan drum]

lmao those taillights look terrible

[dense flax]

it doesnt even look THAT good fr

nice 520d too

[steep flume]

u have grills like that

[dry quarry]

Nah not where the fins of the grille are

Is that godx’s stolen mod or what

[dense flax]

the lights look kinda cheeks

[dense flax]

flat ahh texture

[cyan drum]

bold of you to assume they have any textures to begin with

[cyan drum]

it's probably modland spec glowing solid material

[dense flax]

520d irl is different anyway

[tired coyote]

is that gauge glass reflective?

[cyan drum]

peak visibility

[dry quarry]

Is that kenemations m5 or what

[tired coyote]

thats like the one thing that immediately takes me out of it

you dont see the outside reflected on the gauge glass

[dry quarry]

Why does that happen in beam anyway

Always turn off cubemap thing for interior shit

[tired coyote]

yes its literally that simple

still modders dont do it

[dense jungle]

also im stealing that, "pseudomodders" thats a good one

[tired coyote]

because the dynamic reflections are rendered as a cubemap from the origin of the car, which obv means that the car itself needs to be invisible

[steep flume]

wait

yeah kinda

[tired coyote]

damnit

[dry quarry]

The gauge isnt accurate?

Shit starts from 1000

[dry quarry]

Any of you know how to jbeam properly? My front bumper turned into a pancake when i loaded it in

[tired coyote]

what's the structure like

[cyan drum]

0% glass tint bruh

[steep flume]

that exists u know

[cyan drum]

looks ass

[steep flume]

looool

[dense jungle]

thats not the flex youre thinking it is

[steep flume]

im not flexing

[cyan drum]

seems fitting for the mod anyways

[steep flume]

its bad

but looks nice overall

[cyan drum]

nope

[tired coyote]

most bumpers have like a rigid node in the center that connects to everything, emulates the plastic bending back into place and keeps it stable when you rip it off

usually open at the bottom tho that depends on the bumper geometry and the aero you want

[steep flume]

Bro we get it u hate on modland mods and thats it

some of them look nice some dont

[cyan drum]

we've collectively told you the ways modland mods look bad yet you still seem to ignore it

[steep flume]

they look good for what they are, not official beamng cars

[dense jungle]

this is a common trait ive seen with almost everyone who uses modland

they all insist the mods are good despite being prevented the facts

[cyan drum]

yeah

I used to be this way but fortunately I stopped downloading modland garbage

[dense jungle]

thats changing and growing

as a person

[steep flume]

bro im just telling facts too everyone has their opinion

[cyan drum]

"facts"? lmao

[cyan drum]

you have way too many nodes

[dry quarry]

I did 2 of those things on the bottom but i think i fouind a partial reason

yes that

how would you you do this one

[steep flume]

i know they arent good as official cars

[dry quarry]

its more like a hood actually

[steep flume]

just saying they kinda are decent to be satisfied with while driving

bro some of them even got more detail than forza horzion 4/5 cars have

and thats a fact too

[cyan drum]

which is actually bad

they don't even make the models themselves lmao

they got no credit for that, those models are ripped from other games

[steep flume]

some of them do

[cyan drum]

no lol

no one can consistently pump out car mods at the pace modland pseudomodders do while modeling the car from scratch

it's impossible to do that

[dry quarry]

do you have an example of a proper complex jbeam?

[cyan drum]

let me draw something up

[dry quarry]

complex as in not a boxy vehicle

[dry quarry]

aight

[dense jungle]

based on the shape id say take a look at the scintilla jbeam

[cyan drum]

that can also help

[dry quarry]

shape is similar but the parts are completely different

[tired coyote]

yea

but you can see they use two rigid nodes ig

[dense jungle]

its not for the same part but just to get a reference of the shape

[tired coyote]

its like a grid projected from ontop+infront of the car

[dry quarry]

true true, the part is like a combination of the fenders hood and bit of frontbumper tho

would just merging those nodes work

they line up pretty well

[tired coyote]

it might

[cyan drum]

I'm not sure how big the part is but I think this may work

more density might help

[tired coyote]

this wouldnt be dense enough

[cyan drum]

yeah I'm realizing that

[tired coyote]

youd at least need to account for the notch here

even if its just for aero

[dry quarry]

that bit connects to the bumper

[tired coyote]

theres still a downforce effect there

[dry quarry]

lowkey more lift tho right

is it pushes air down

[tired coyote]

idk it does something is what i mean

[dry quarry]

fair

didnt know the jbeam skeleton also did the aero

[cyan drum]

something like this maybe? it's kinda rough anyways

[dry quarry]

ill give it a try

where should i put that support node

[cyan drum]

rigidifier?

[tired coyote]

i'd go with two here

[cyan drum]

one per side

[tired coyote]

ye

i'd put them somewhere around here

you might need to go back a bit further tho depending on how well those edge nodes behave

but ehh i havent personally jbeamed in a good few years so

[dry quarry]

so like this?

[cyan drum]

evenly space these out just to be safe

[tired glacier]

anyone able to make a standup forklift?

[dry quarry]

so something like this

[dense jungle]

make sure to apply the mirror and move that node into the middle

[dry quarry]

2 would be better like the scintilla they said

btw how do yall do the faces

like a double cross or single

[cyan drum]

huh

there's only 1 way to fill out a quad with coltris

[dry quarry]

like this right

thought I saw some only have one of those lines instead of them crossing

[cyan drum]

that's how you do surficial crossing yeah

[brazen cypress]

@dry quarry what car is that gng

[cyan drum]

you're confusing coltri visualization and beam visualization

[dry quarry]

so its always a cross but the upper side gets the faces?

no way right

[cyan drum]

not necessarily only the exterior side but yes

[dry quarry]

thats probably why my shit implodes

[dry quarry]

take a guess

something around the wheelarch aswell?

triangle b2rr, b1rr and b4rr?

or another quad with a node on the edge of the arch

and then another to the backside

[pale trail]

Does anyone know of a high quality free real life fire truck mod?

[dark dove]

can someone remind me the exact pixels for an 8x8 heightmap?

[dawn tiger]

its powers of 2 so 8196

[dark dove]

ok thanks mate

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @dawn tiger (current: #59 - 42)

[rugged fox]

does anybody know a 2019 f150 xlt mod

[tired glacier]

anyone here capable of making a functional narrow aisle warehouse forklift?

[rugged fox]

does anybody have this mod

[drowsy leaf]

yes, but if you want something, do it youself

[brazen cypress]

Theres one on repo
