[dense jungle]

And it wont be on the repo due to copyright

[teal mural]

or best website

[ocean mauve]

1. The in-game repo
2. https://www.beamng.com/resources/
3. https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

The search feature on the site is pretty bad, try googling site:beamng.com and then whatever it is you're looking for. That way it will only show results from the official site

There are also 3rd party sites such as Modland, but those feature a lot of low quality / stolen mods, and potentially even malicious content / viruses, so using such sites is not recommended. If you do, use at your own risk, and don't click any suspicious ads or links

[dense jungle]

The forums + repo

[latent ivy]

(not a sponsor) but use virustotal scanner to scan virus

its a cool free web you only need to upload the file

[dense jungle]

You shouldn’t need to scan mods for viruses in the first place

[latent ivy]

whatever i just recommended a virus scanner

[teal mural]

i was using like modland

everything was a virus

[ocean mauve]

yeah nothing wrong with an extra check

[latent ivy]

a few seconds of scanning its not anything bad

[latent ivy]

wym

[teal mural]

like everything i tried to downlaod it just kept bringing me to weird websites

[ocean mauve]

yeah that can happen with 3rd party sites

beamng.com for the win

[teal mural]

yea i bet

[hybrid crystal]

is it bad that I have like 450 mods installed?

[ocean mauve]

I mean, "bad" would depend on how good the game still performs, and if you have any issues with the vanilla content due to mod issues. But 450 is definitely quite a lot

[hybrid crystal]

I mean it takes like 1-2 mins to load in and like another 1-2 to get into a map, and whenever I open my veichle menu it takes like 15-30 seconds to load.

But I have gotten used to it.

[ocean mauve]

Yeah UI loading speeds get quite bad with a lot of mods

[crude halo]

what part should i do next?

[hybrid crystal]

A new hood

[crude halo]

original one have powerdome this one flat

[crude halo]

like the real 300C? or Hood Scoop like Hellcat

[velvet shadow]

new update ? bunch of my mods seem to not appear anymore 😦

[crude halo]

you can choose between disable and i don't remember other options

[velvet shadow]

i just found back my mods

[stable sphinx]

diddy party vibes in here

[crude halo]

i saw as Diddly Squat Farm Shop vibes

[stable sphinx]

what the sigma

[crude halo]

nvm just Clarkson Things.

[stable sphinx]

what the simga

cheese

did everyone leave

[velvet shadow]

is there any mods to take pictures or do i really have to redownload reshade 😦

[crude halo]

Rework the Steering Wheels

[crude halo]

Testing in games start now.....

[crude halo]

blame the uv

nearly to be at finish line so technically 50%

[drowsy leaf]

until 1 mod breaks the entire game and you have to comb thru all the mods you have to see which one broke

[crude halo]

Figured out how to do the Airbag Module shaped like the real 300C ones

[dense jungle]

Even worse if its in vehicles instead of mods

[crude halo]

@untold badger yep steering wheel is begin.

[untold badger]

Cool

[crude halo]

How's it right now?

[true jungle]

Anyone got a mod for dirty vehicles when going through mud or scratches?

[crude halo]

now try to relocate the uv for cleaniess

try to solve this problem of uv relocation

[crude halo]

rework again

[tired coyote]

You mean you want to give it a height and a horizontal coordinate, then find the other horizontal coordinate?

I don't recall there being a built in functionality in c++, you'd need to cache all heights to two coordinates and then search through those

All in lua so it won't be performant

[crude halo]

@rain spoke Rework again because the rearrange uvs

[rain spoke]

NO!!!

[crude halo]

This is hardest things when reshape the steering wheels button cover of chrome decorated

[rain spoke]

Man thats sound like a grind. Imma start with the etki7000 Lux i callt it.

[crude halo]

Even i reset interior trim to luxe

one things i will ditch is roller on steering wheels

@rain spoke i'm looking forward to see it.

[rain spoke]

Yeah me too put I still have to make some specifig plans

but i have one thing in mind V12 etki7000 lux

[crude halo]

i thought V16 Goldfisch

[rain spoke]

I make straight 6, v8, v10, v12 maby v16

[crude halo]

I'll figure out how to ditch Piano Black trim

because it is ruin L U X U R I O U S and add more leather, a little bit of chrome and if possible woods and plastics if i cant find how to add more materials

[rain spoke]

Wood sounds good

[crude halo]

dashboard = a lot of relocate

few buttons same location as IRL 300C

Test

@rain spoke Try to replicate the chromie steering wheels in IRL of that cropped

[rain spoke]

I'm starting beamng rn to make a plan how it's gonna look.

[crude halo]

another trickiest things is two tone

Real ones is Two Tone Steering Wheels

[rain spoke]

I gues i make it longer and get the roof a little bit down or the hood up.

[crude halo]

niceeeeee

Time to make extrude of Steering Wheels Trim

Quite Interesting Hmmmmm

[crude halo]

@rain spoke Finally

[rain spoke]

nice, I'm starting to modell the etki

[crude halo]

then mirroring because get rid of roller on button between up down right back

that piano black is test things the real things will be silver like real steering wheels of thema

Finally The Real Thema Ish Silver Plastic has appeared

@rain spoke Yep Next Outer Round Steering Wheels

[rain spoke]

nice making a steering wheel to rn

[crude halo]

two tone job begin....

This Effected on Luxe only battlehawk likely to be plastic because i made to accomodate to Interior door handle

Except the center ones that is location of Bruckell Emblem so keep it as it is

[crude halo]

p.s. the real car outer rim of orange steering wheel main color and black overlay has silver chrome accent but since this is interior so i use door handle as where texture located

@rain spoke

frankly steering wheel left side of bastion same as real 300C/Thema (Up down right and back button)

[rain spoke]

When are you planing on a relase?

[crude halo]

if i finished it all parts then i will upload.

[rain spoke]

What are thinking to kinda add?

[crude halo]

make it close to real things as possible

should i rework this if possible to be thema ones? (that one maxed at 260 km/h)

Fixing with Half Cut before Mirroring

[rain spoke]

Thats crazy

[rain spoke]

tesla wheel

[crude halo]

Speedometer maybe i won't

[crude halo]

i will mirroring back at round wheels

i cut it half for one reasons is Trim and Buttons

[rain spoke]

Will the buttons work?

[crude halo]

if original steering wheels button is non functionable so this will be same

[rain spoke]

Makes sense

[crude halo]

but i dunno why i emergency brake in panoramic roof body hazzard light not automatically works but original unibody works it's weirded.

[rain spoke]

Do you know how the blinker on the etki in beamng is called?(I can't find them in blender).

[crude halo]

hey it's bmw so blinker throw it away haha

[rain spoke]

lol

[crude halo]

some car stalks join in the dashboard

@rain spoke i'll hopefully the panoramic roof will be passed to be on repos

because i uploaded it first

but about button on steering wheels is mistake to remove scroller

[crude halo]

do you guys have how to fix this?

[iron spindle]

fix what

the texuters?

[crude halo]

yes

texture of Airbag in this steering wheels because i reshaped like real 300C Steering Wheels

[iron spindle]

you need to fix the uv maps

[crude halo]

Other area is fine but the aribag cover of bastion

painiest progress so i'll split the custom airbag cover out from the wheels

While you are here, any way to talk to someone about our application to be on the content creator program?

[deft kite]

if you applied, you should hear back within a few work weeks (so exept the holidays)

[stable kraken]

I applied like a year ago, and never got anything so I was just wondering

[deft kite]

then please resend, I am not involved with that, but you should get an answer

[crude halo]

fixed. side chrome trim

[crude halo]

except uh... front

remerged the uv

@rain spoke that's the update and steering wheel solved with stock but two tone depended on what interior trim you choose

[crude halo]

I guess roof height down like realistic

[rain spoke]

Working on it rn

[crude halo]

Yep thats how it works because the steering wheels before i do chrome lip the inner will accommodated the center armrest so if it orange it is orange but sport trim the armrests is black but battlehawk is red alcantara

Chrome barrel lip can also blacked out upon what you choose of interior default trims

[rich sigil]

how can i swap my automation engines into the beamng cars?

[eternal steppe]

Someone here with skin knowledge?

Hello guys, I would like to know how to open this door with the BeamEditor?

[random leaf]

@green mortar that whole building is one big prefab so you cant open those doors unless your somehow willing to go deep into the game files and editing it in blender lol... in short, unfortunately, you cant open them

[thick niche]

its saying that the file isn't being found that your calling for

[green mortar]

[idle flame]

can someone help me get some mods

[glacial sentinel]

hey fellas, there's a mod I have that's causing the etk i series to have all of theur glass components show up as black
I know I only have mods from the forums if that helps, are there any known mod conflict

[flint egret]

Is there a way to add a slot to a vanilla vehicle without making a duplicate jbeam?

[crude halo]

relocate the uv of chrome a pillar of bastion

[pliant needle]

maybe clear your cache?

also why do DXT5 and DXT1 textures export very washed out now? it used to be the correct colors

[crude halo]

relocate a pillar chrome

[near dragon]

That would require you to edit the building model

[crude halo]

for bastion or maybe new unibody for bastion

[crude halo]

@rain spoke yep

[crude halo]

@gaunt wyvern This is test haha

straight ported in haha

Bruckell Symphony (aka 300C) hell of jobs.

[ocean mauve]

Not sure what changed for those, but they aren't the recommend format anyway

[crude halo]

Test Works

[latent ivy]

is this scratch made?

[crude halo]

try to port the 300C from Forza to BeamNG

[latent ivy]

oh, okay
and i'm ngl, but this should be a soliad

[crude halo]

internally i wanted it to be Bruckell Symphony but yes Soliad would fit the bills

[latent ivy]

then the bruckell model could be a dodge charger

[crude halo]

yes but ok i'll planned it to soliad

[latent ivy]

alright

i'm looking forward to it, though

[crude halo]

and rename all parts

Submodel of This Soliad i didnt finalized it

[drowsy leaf]

[crude halo]

anybody have tornado interceptor or tornado radar vehicles? cuz i saw a tt vid of somebody drifting around a map in one but i cant find it

i checked modland, etc

[glass dragon]

why is this happends i already tried to fix the weight and damp and spring

[tawny oar]

dont use modland bro

[tawny grove]

why not

ive found loads of good mods there

[tawny oar]

meshlap

🌚

[tawny grove]

?

i dont make mods so idk what that is

i just play beamng with friends for fun just to crash around n that

[tawny oar]

fair enoughj

modland is a bit dodgy, ur choice htough

though

https://www.beamng.com/forums/land.44/

here u can get good mods

[dense jungle]

Those are models that are put onto existing jbeams of vanilla cars, often being low quality

[thick niche]

you've found mods you like, not mods that are good. Most of those mods are stolen/ use vanilla jbeams which don't match the body meshes, and also can contain virsues

[round current]

Does anyone know a good CART/Indy mod or is thinking of making one?

I'm talking about these

[open lark]

hello I would like to ask a small question, how do I reduce the size of the tire physics, for example, I have a 45s and I wanted to make it a 40s. How do I do this? In this case, I already know the files that modify the tire scale, but when I put it in the game, the tire becomes invisible. I appreciate anyone who can help

[rigid moon]

any mustangs that will work with career?

[dawn tiger]

Are you scaling the flexbody or the Nodes?

[open lark]

The worst thing is that I don't know, friend, because I'm new to editing on the beamg drive.

[bronze spruce]

Anyone know a good way to make a livery for a mod vehicle?

[crude halo]

creating from ground ups

[crude halo]

@rain spoke haha build from ground up

[twilit nova]

potentially create a uv map for the vehicle if the creator hasnt released one

theresa tutorial out there somewhere on youtube ive seen

[rain spoke]

Nice I'm gonna start fixing my mod where I put bx front on to an pessima.

[rain spoke]

Guess who alredy had a virus.(never ever gone on modland again)

[round current]

Bro does NOT know anything about racing

F4 is a feeder series of F1. It uses 180 hp 4 cyl engines and only reaches about 250 km/h

[nova loom]

The good die young because they didn’t live long enough to be corrupted by the world.

[round current]

CART on the other hand was the top of american racing series along with NASCAR and used V8s/V10s (depending on era) that produced around 900hp and they could reach speeds up to 390 km/h on ovals

So no, F4 is not comparable to CART or Indycar

[ocean mauve]

He sent that because that's probably the closest you'll get :P at least with a high quality mod

[round current]

Eh. It's pretty good, I already have it.

But I've seen youtube videos of people using Indy mods. I think they're unreleased.

Why can’t I find any real car mods in beamng every time I search them up there’s no results

use google with "site:beamng.com"

because the regular search is bad

i did some file editing, made a test image that was completely green, and the livery showed up in-game in the part editor but when i selected it the car stayed white. Any fixes?

its not that theyre private, theyre just not finished

[winter harbor]

hi i have a bmw mod, and im wanting to add a actual bmw turn signal sound for personal use ofc. any ideas how i can add a custom turn signal audio? i've never really modded anything and i could only find one thread of saying to open the jbeam in notepad++,

[twilit nova]

im not too sure, i havent done liveries that much before. try tweak something as the size of the image could be too small, big, etc or you might have conflicting colours that are overlaying onto the car

sorry if im not much of a help im kinda not the man to ask but i do what i can

[twilit nova]

open the vehicle you want to edits folder, then scroll until you find body.jbeam or xxxxx_body.jbeam, then open the file in any editor text editor, but preferably one with formatting. find the [soundscape] section, then find the indicator sounds. now, you want to place your indicator sounds in .wav format or some other audio format into art/sound/xxxx.wav

then, replace event:>Vehicle>Interior>Indicator>FIPA_CLICK or whichever you are changing to art/sound/xxxx.wav or whatever you saved the file as

file structure should roughly be like:

.
└── bmwmod/
    ├── vehicles/
    │   └── bmwmod/
    │       └── bmw_dashboard.jbeam
    └── art/
        └── sound/
            └── clickclack.wav

i could be completely wrong on this one but lmk what happens

you might want to download this video as a .wav file then cut out the CLICK and CLACK and the indicater start noise and indicator end noise

hey team for the life of me I need some help, I've downloaded some mod cars and I've also downloaded RK's Highly Customizable Engine mod, (which adds plenty of custom engines to vanilla cars while using only the physical engine in game so basically only in performance power and sound) my question is how do I add or use the RK's mod to the modded cars I've already downloaded.

Is there a mod for a non-abandoned jungle rock island?

[ocean mauve]

The mesh, or the jbeam?
For the jbeam you could use the official jbeam editor plugin, it can import entire car jbeams via .pc files
As for the visible mesh (3d model) I don't think that's possible

[lunar turtle]

anyone know a good audi r8 mod?

[harsh valve]

ok, thanks a lot, I would need a mesh of a specific configuration to use as a reference
the only solution that comes to my mind is to directly read the parts that are in the configuration from beamng and delete or hide the rest in blender
Is there maybe a better way to do this or am I doomed to work this way?

me on my way to start a new mod but only abandon it because the troubleshooting is too much and i lose motivation fast (i was never gonna finish it to begin with)

😭

[lone tartan]

Average modsland experience

I got the lowrider pickup truck and when i spawn it, its the gavril pickup, but the interior seperates with the car itself and it just starts floatinf😭😭

[honest zinc]

does anyone know a mod that has the 1998-2001 fiat punto?

[latent ivy]

Autobello Milano, its wip. beamng forums

should fit the timestamp

[honest zinc]

👍🏻

[dawn tiger]

mine usually does that because it has no material in blender

[storm bramble]

Anyone here versed at making cars work in career?

[ocean mauve]

#game-discussion-2-electric-boogaloo message

[dense jungle]

yeah i really dont get what happened this time, i even applied a different material then another one after that

[dawn tiger]

is the group wrong in the jbeam

[dense jungle]

technically im only at the meshslap stage of trying to get the flexbody into the game first so, no? yes?

i cant be fucked making a jbeam from scratch so take an existing upfit and then modify it to shape and all

[dawn tiger]

Could be then and yea jbeam sucks lol im making a full fourwheeler from scratch rn lol. what does ur flexbody section of ur jbeam look like

[dense jungle]

i closed all the files from motivation 1 sec

but the names do match, in the jbeam and dae

i mightve selected the wrong jbeam to use instead

[dense jungle]

its also got the pickup material applied atm

[dawn tiger]

what does the node group say

[dense jungle]

node group.....

[dawn tiger]

yea scroll down and where it say6s nodes it should say group whats it say

should be like that

[dense jungle]

yeah idk what they were doing

[dawn tiger]

yea the part that says tanker in the first image should be the same as that group

[dense jungle]

changed the group

nope

still fucked

[dawn tiger]

hmm well if u wanna dm me ur mod i can look for you

[dense jungle]

im gonna swap the jbeam to a different one first

yeah idk wtf is going on

[dawn tiger]

yea thats the fun of modding lol

[dense jungle]

this hasnt happened to me before

unless im missing something super obvious

[dawn tiger]

im about to look rn

[dense jungle]

tell me when you have it downloaded so someone doesnt download and complain its broken

[dawn tiger]

i got it

wich upfit frame does it go on

[dense jungle]

the long one

im using the empty crew frame rn to test

[dense jungle]

anything so far?

[dawn tiger]

no im still trying im also confused

[dense jungle]

i might as well make a custom jbeam from scratch atp

[dense jungle]

you did mention it happening to you before but could it maybe be a md series specific thing

[dawn tiger]

yea i cant seem to figure it out either and i tried a lot of stuff i even tried rediong it and no it happens on a lot of stuff usually it is the group name or not having a material name in blender

Yea idk man im so confused

[dense jungle]

the console has this but it does have a material applied

[dawn tiger]

well the one u sent me didnt but i gave it one

[dense jungle]

i thought it was applied wtf

i mustve not put it in right

@dawn tiger kinda?

[dawn tiger]

well thats more than i got what did u change?

[dense jungle]

i removed the groups in the jbeam and reapplied the right dae

but as you can see

[dawn tiger]

well you would need to import the flatbed dae in blender and line it up with that since the frames are in different spots than the bodies

[dense jungle]

either way

its a step in the right direction

[dawn tiger]

yea lol im so confused cause i did the same thing and removed the grouips lol and mine still dont work maybe my games just on dummy mode rn but glad u got it

[dense jungle]

yeah, although thanks for putting the time into trying

one of my new years resolution too is to break into modding by getting at least 1 mod onto the repository

[dawn tiger]

Yw and thats a good resolution man hopefully you keep working on the firetruck id love to see it on the repo

[dense jungle]

i have a slight problem with starting and not finishing any mods

[dawn tiger]

lol i have like 5 im working on and 2 of em have kinda just slipped away so i feel that

[dense jungle]

also i do think its too long on the long wheelbase but the medium wheelbase is too short

i might have to go medium

shortened and added wheel arch

and yknow what, it needs work still but i think its a decent start

i should do the jbeam next

[fluid hedge]

Finally got textures to work, and remade ehaust and hairbox

[dense jungle]

will probably work on jbeam next

honestly though why is there such a lack of fire engines

[jaunty tangle]

where do i get my mods because someone said to get them from modland?

[dense jungle]

Whoever said that, don’t listen to them. You get mods from then forums and from the repository as per #mods-faq

[pliant stag]

anyone know how to add additional items to a mod? i want to replace this item in a mod to another character.
the creator of the mod added his roblox character as a dummy driver, i wanted to know how to change that to my own.

[flint egret]

Is the documentation down?

No the entire website is down

[dawn tiger]

Damn ur right just went to use it and was gonna ask the same thing

[young hamlet]

Does anyone know of a 11th gen f150 mod?

[pliant stag]

Got one more ill do tmr

then gonna do JBeam stuff also

[sacred tulip]

guys does anyone knows what happend with kljp mod? why is it outdated?

[ocean mauve]

The facelift Sunburst spawns in traffic without rear wheels (fixable by deleting the traffic version from the files), and the 2nd gen Zenith misses its rear wheels completely (there is a fix for that somewhere in its thread, I'll look it up in a moment)

So they marked it as outdated while they fix those issues + others + add more content, but the mod still works fine other apart from the 2 issues listed above

[ocean mauve]

https://documentation.beamng.com/tutorials/mods/installing-mods/

As for where to download them:

1. The in-game repository
2. https://www.beamng.com/resources/
3. https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

The search feature on the site is pretty bad, try googling site:beamng.com and then whatever it is you're looking for. That way it will only show results from the official site

There are also 3rd party sites such as Modland, but those feature a lot of low quality / stolen mods, and potentially even malicious content / viruses, so using such sites is not recommended. If you do, use at your own risk, and don't click any suspicious ads or links

[sacred tulip]

as for me rn kljp break the performance especially in career mode. beamng says that's because of gpu, but gpu on 3% load and 0 fps

[ocean mauve]

Hmmm not sure about that, hopefully something that they are fixing too then 🤞

Anyway here's the zenith2 rear suspension fix #1116188221005647964 message

[wild juniper]

can anyone help? i need uv from mod to make skin, but can't find it in mod files

(https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-bx-sedan-addon-hecate-diana-gtz-r.30648/)

[ocean mauve]

This is the skin UV layout of all the body parts from the mod, other stuff like front and rear bumpers, hood, etc. are probably just vanilla parts using the vanilla UV

[wild juniper]

Thanks!

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve (current: #2 - 329)

[ocean mauve]

clear and slightly more opaque version too, if that helps

[wild juniper]

Oh, it's 4 door version

I need 2 door

[ocean mauve]

Uh, the mod you sent is a sedan mod, isn't the whole point that it has 4 doors? I would assume any 2 door configs just use the vanilla body

[wild juniper]

On the mod page

Or i think i sent wrong diana mod

[ocean mauve]

Yeah that's just the vanilla body I think, not from the mod. Only body thing it mentions is the sedan

[wild juniper]

Yeah, it has doors from original bx

And the body also

So, I need quarter panels, bumpers, fenders and sideskirts from mod

I see now

[ocean mauve]

Well then you can just use the vanilla UV layout :P

[cerulean veldt]

I hope too🤞 was looking for this for a while

[wild juniper]

cuz as you can see, thay have very different parts
(first is bx, second is diana, changed only quarter panels)

[ocean mauve]

They might still use the same UV layout. From the side (looking at the face of the wheel), their shape is quite similar

[wild juniper]

maybe

so, will just try to match it

thanks for help)

[cerulean veldt]

Hi SubieBerry, really appreciate your work. Any updates on the christmas flatbed? Can it be changed to use for other occasions?

[ocean mauve]

Thank you! What do you mean by other occasions?

[cerulean veldt]

Like remembering legends from the past and to bring some joy to the darkest days with a flatbed with lights

[ocean mauve]

What

[crude halo]

taking a break from my ypsilon project which taillight glass will you choose

[dense jungle]

@ocean mauve when unwrapping the UV, where should the “hidden” parts go like the underside of my upfit I’m doing?

Also what resolution would suit the best?

[dense jungle]

Just to give you an image

At the moment, when I do mine, not for beam, I just do the skin part, hide them and then scale down the extras and put them in a corner and slap a black square over it

[ocean mauve]

That works for skins yeah

But if you also wanna have 'norma' textures, you'll need to have a uv map 0 for those, and then a uv map 1 for skins

[junior zodiac]

at least i'm the only one creating an upfit for the MD-series

[ocean mauve]

The main difference is that the 0 map is laid out as efficiently as possible, with space for all parts of the car, whereas the 1 map is laid out in an easy to use version for making skins, and only includes the exterior body panels

[dense jungle]

Do you have a documentation link for it that I can read upon later

Actually, so 0 is for the materials and everything with it right, that has everything

And 1 is just the relevant faces with the rest in a corner

[ocean mauve]

Pretty much yeah

For example this is the 0 map for the md series cab, kinda chaotic and harder to understand, but a lot more efficient space wise (lots of empty space right now but that is used by all other parts, as you can see by all the details on the normalmap in the background)

While this is the 1 map, a lot more organised and only body panels

[junior zodiac]

someone can help me the hydros adaptation ? the controlbox "work", the engine goes up in rev when actionning it but the hydro cylinders doesn't move a bit

[sage tinsel]

how do i make my gsme look better i’m on ultra graphics but doesn’t look as good as other peoples games wondering if there’s a mod for it

[dense jungle]

I think I get it now, but with the non skin faces, the skin won’t apply, yea?

Also what resolution is recommended for skins

[ocean mauve]

The vanilla cars mainly use 2048x1024 for skins, some exceptions here and there (like the scintilla with 4096x2048?? sheesh). In the case of a simple two tone or stripe skin you could probably even get away with 1024x512 to save some space if you care about that

[dense jungle]

Alright, thanks for explaining the basics? of the textures

Hey Guys Does anyone have skibidi toilet car mod? I looking for this mod and It's been a long time but i can't found it. Pls help I really need this LOL😂

[crude halo]

test with vivace tho

[warm hornet]

oh

[crude halo]

candidate of test subject

[crude halo]

speaking of that.... works

[dense jungle]

What are you doing? I see a hole at the back

[crude halo]

trying to do the lancia ypsilon with vivace parts reshaped aka expiremental tho.

because even before i rescaled it should be fit.

and don't worry this just expiremental and deleted later on

[rain spoke]

Noooooo!

(putting a diana front on pessima)

[ocean mauve]

Check the materials names in Blender, they might have .001 or .002 added to them. Blender does that when you have 'duplicate' materials, but it makes it so BeamNG doesn't recognise the materials anymore. So just get rid of the .001 or .002 etc. if that is the case

[rain spoke]

Yeah working on it rn

[dense jungle]

Alright

[crude halo]

This is my first mod of This Vivace aka Partly Black Panoramic Roof

@rain spoke what do you think?

[rain spoke]

Didn't even realise thats not in beamng very nice

[latent ivy]

for a lore friendly version, it could be an autobello or a completely new brand that's a subsidiary of the former

[crude halo]

you meant the Ypsilon?

He's Italian but Adopted by French

[crude halo]

what part should i do next for this vivace?

[torpid umbra]

how can i fix

[latent ivy]

yep

[ocean mauve]

It tells you :P you need to trust the file/folder that you are editing

[torpid umbra]

how

nvm i got it

now to get it to work

says no errors but blender dont wanna load the Jbeam'

[rain spoke]

Fixed it by it self and now i see how much work i still have to do lol (didn't fix evreything on it's onw)

[kindred kiln]

Why do all the boat mods always sink to the bottom when I spawn them

Nvm I fixed it

how do you get the mesh to show in the 3d view in visual studio code again

i completely forgot how

am i missing something?

https://github.com/BeamNG/vscode-jbeam-editor/raw/master/assets/settings2.gif

this is on the documentation in githuib

@ocean mauve would you happen to know whats going on with this]

[ocean mauve]

No clue, I don't use that addon. I'm assuming in order for it to know what model to show, you would need to have the .dae in the same folder as the .jbeam?

[dense jungle]

that is the case

[ocean mauve]

Yeah no idea then 🤷 sorry

[dense jungle]

yeah no problem

How to get da role to make posts in da #1102973298222051358
Sections. I've got a mod aye

[fluid hedge]

what am I doing....

[winter sierra]

What do you all think are the best mods for BeamNG right now?

[gentle vortex]

Hello there, anyone who's willing to accept a commission? I'm searching for someone experienced in modeling, texturing and coding

[dense jungle]

it'll cost thousands

[ocean mauve]

I know of 1 trusted modder that does map commissions, but for other project you won't find anyone you can trust, and even if you do, it will run you thousands of dollars

[gentle vortex]

Aight I understand

I guess I just have to try myself. In short, I had a vision: Autobello re-brands. Thank you guys

[dense jungle]

if youre doing rebadges, those should be relatively easy to do yourself

[gentle vortex]

I guess. I'm just so bad at this stuff 🙃

[dense jungle]

im having a bit of a collision issue right now

i just need some guidance

the offroad config with this goes hard tho

[ocean mauve]

Easy answer is to just nove the two nodes next to the tire a bit more, that should be fine

More complicated answer is to make the jbeam follow the lines of the body, right now it's just a box. Seems quite low poly/density too for a jbeam, try comparing it to the ambulance box upfit or something like that

[dense jungle]

i will admit its more of a "modified meshslap" than an actual jbeam right now as i only took the flatbed jbeam and thickened it but the ambulance one would be smarter to use

is it just the beams or is it the nodes that cause the collisions?

[ocean mauve]

Nodes and triangles by default. You can turn off their collision individually, but that's not something I'd recommend for this case

[dense jungle]

sorted now

as for this, is it a good idea to have the jbeam like this or should it go in but the nodes being close and then following it closer to the shape?

ok it is struggling with the non 4wd

[mortal linden]

is there a list of popular suburban cars

from like each year

[ocean mauve]

Maybe something like this? Still not super detailed on the side but I'm not sure if that even really matter for a literal box

[dense jungle]

yeah compared to the ambulance, it does seem like the smart thing to do

although i do want to include cabinets but idk if thats too complicated at this stage even if they dont have to open, same as the ambulance but it would be good practice with multiple flexbodies

[ocean mauve]

Yeah as long as they don't open it shouldn't be very hard to add - though once you figure out how openables work you can still definitely add them later on, without having to redo much of the cabinet jbeam

[dense jungle]

i take it then, it would be advised to "future proof" it so to speak, so i can seamlessly add the hinges

[ocean mauve]

Well what I mean is that there isn't really a lot of future proofing needed at all. As long as your doors/hatches can be ripped open with the nodegrabber but still hinge properly, you'll be able to turn them into openables at a later time with just a small amount of changes to the actual jbeam

[dense jungle]

basically this

[ocean mauve]

Yeah

[dense jungle]

wait i misunderstood, the hinges could be added but the actual latch is different from that

it would be a good idea for me to take a look at the ambulance jbeam then apply that

[ocean mauve]

Yes

To both

[dense jungle]

thats about 50% covered for this mod

25% is the texture and the other 25% is troubleshooting

[snow lotus]

a mod that i personally would love to see is a map with a showroom in it that has the super good lighting just like the default one in the game and then also a few test tracks like maybe the automation test track map mixed with gridmap v2 and showroom

[ocean mauve]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/car_killer-showroomsng.21603/

[snow lotus]

that but with a test track in it too

like if someone just slapped automation test track, grid small, and the beamng showroom id be happy

[dense jungle]

@ocean mauve last one for tonight, do you have any advice to make jbeaming less tedious

i am currently researching blender baking rn

[near raven]

Mixed a whipple supercharger a v8 and a jet engine....

Why is it not working

[torpid umbra]

Really wish @onyx dirge would answer my DMs if I could use his mod to teach myself how to do modding & JBeam & if he's okay with it. Release it on the repo.

[near raven]

30 tons of steel VS Truck going 280 Mph....

[dawn tiger]

Bruh its not cool to ping people for no reason any jbeam is the same as his there all just vehicle jbeams https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/

[torpid umbra]

Permission.

I want permission to release it

There's a difference

[dawn tiger]

Not how you said it at all lol reread your message

[torpid umbra]

Fixed 😃😀

Definitely on me. Mb

[dawn tiger]

well that's because the gltf exported isn't meant to export things how there supposed to be its to export crashed models. it exports the car exactly as it is in beam ng so whatever angle you have it in beam its never gonna export it how you want it to be exported.

[dawn tiger]

my answer still stands you said you wanted to use his mod to teach urself jbeam its not gonna teach u anything by just looking at his mod your gonna have to read the docs no matter what and might as well look at the docs and learn more than just how to slap stuff on one mod.

[torpid umbra]

That's what I do. I figure out what not to do.

Then go read docs

[lethal swift]

If anyone finds a solution to the issue where mod cars with the new headlight system have faulty normals that prevent headlights from functioning at all, kindly ping and provide a solution

Tbh some people including myself can learn a ton through observation

Depends on learning style

[jaunty sapphire]

is there any mods making ai smarter while on chasing mode to make me put into harder situations

[dawn tiger]

Not that i can think of

[jaunty sapphire]

maybe not directly for ai but a physics mode so they can drive better in general

[dawn tiger]

You can use the in game ai traffic tool to set how recless they are and other parameters but other than that i dont think there is anything

[left patio]

does anyone have an idea with the problem i have in #modding-general? On top of what i posted, I'm changing the blends used in a mod that re-uses the scintilla engine config

help would be greatly appreciated

oh epic.

[naive onyx]

Can anyone help me the beta ls3 cam is not working

[wise moat]

What mod is that?

[naive onyx]

Cat eye mod

[dawn tiger]

What creator?

[naive onyx]

Lemme check

I saw it I checked the comments and they said it was a leak idk

[dawn tiger]

Well if it's from Modland that was ur first mistake and if so all mods on Modland are usually stolen mods or very very bad mods

[opaque falcon]

Yo which car is the most closest to a 69 mustang in beam

I might have some idea

[dawn tiger]

Probably the moon hawk it's the closest thing to an older muscle car

[dawn tiger]

Or the barstow

[opaque falcon]

Mid engine mustang

I see an opportunity

[dawn tiger]

That's nice lol I don't even like mustangs but that's nice

[opaque falcon]

Alright new plan

Mid engine moonhawk on bolide chassis

[wise moat]

It’s so hard not to get mods off of modland 😑

[dawn tiger]

No its not lol

[opaque falcon]

No

[dawn tiger]

Is the bolide a body on frame car

[opaque falcon]

Pls no

[wise moat]

I see so many cool cars and I want to get them so bad

[opaque falcon]

Bolide middle with moonhawk bodypanel

[naive onyx]

Do you know were I can find good truck mods

[opaque falcon]

Plus extend the rear frame abit

[naive onyx]

That are real

[dawn tiger]

The beam ng forums is the best place to look if there aren't any there or here on discord in #1102973298222051358 then probably not

[dawn tiger]

That could work

[naive onyx]

How do I make my own mod

[dawn tiger]

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

[naive onyx]

but i have no modeling knowledge and have no mod software

[dawn tiger]

That link i sent shows you what you need and what to do

[opaque falcon]

Start with small parts first

Like engines

Do the data first, then learn how to modeling

Then jbeam

Then uv maps

[dawn tiger]

I hope whoever created uv maps is rotting in the worst part of hell

[ocean mauve]

Blender jbeam editor could be helpful, though I personally don't use it

[naive onyx]

where do i do that?

[bright jacinth]

jbeaming is painful if you barely know what you're doing

[dawn tiger]

Jbeaming is just painful in general

[naive onyx]

i just wanna do engines and sounds

[bright jacinth]

says the one who actually knows how to jbeam full stuff

but i can see how

[bright jacinth]

then its gonna be easy for you

[naive onyx]

where do i go to do that

[bright jacinth]

just look at the documentations and borrow engine parts/sounds from vanilla cars

[opaque falcon]

Yup

[opaque falcon]

Ya

[opaque falcon]

Start with copy and paste stuff

[bright jacinth]

the concept might seem ALMOST normal if you know the basics but doing everything right is a pain

[opaque falcon]

Yup

[dawn tiger]

once you start it will become pretty easy and be a lot quicker at it to the point where your like alright time to move on to something harder>>>>> But yea look at the docs. also here is the first step ypu need to do

[bright jacinth]

i still haven't gone past the blindly slapping stuff stage but i do know a little bit of 3d modelling so i think im going to start doing 3d models instead of just taking stuff and slapping it ingame

i also know a bit of jbeam but i haven't tried the starter autobello tutorial so i think im gonna do that

[dawn tiger]

i am only good at certian things when it comes to 3d modeling lol cant do engines thats for damn sure lol

[bright jacinth]

i have no idea how people get engine specs right other than dyno graphs

[dawn tiger]

Yea pretty much that lol just look at the torque curve and right those numbers down and the more steps I have the more "accurate" there gonna be

[bright jacinth]

and i also wish to know how people tune suspensions and get information about them, i don't even know how to touch vanilia racing suspensions in racing applications let alone tuning a whole new one

[dawn tiger]

Suspension is hard lol I just made full suspension for my atv mod and I just kinda went willy nilly until it worked how I wanted it to lol

[bright jacinth]

ah so you just fine tuned it until it seemed right?

[dawn tiger]

Yea in the jbeam cause I forgot to add variables lol and was to invested to stop where I was to add them lol

[opaque falcon]

Automation baby

[bright jacinth]

how does somebody get detailed information about every single engine on earth then?

because on automation you need to know literally everything about an engine to replicate it

[bright jacinth]

variables as in tunable/changeable or as in defintions?

[dawn tiger]

Tuning variables

[bright jacinth]

so both? right

[dawn tiger]

Yea

[naive onyx]

does this mean i can do my own ls3 sounds?

[dawn tiger]

Sounds are more tedious but yea eventually you could

[opaque falcon]

Yes, so i only do a bit

[opaque falcon]

Yes

[bright jacinth]

you can slap in vanilla sounds or hell even hidden automation sounds so you can fix the mod and play with it

but you can also get the real life sound of an ls and try to get it as a sound blend

[opaque falcon]

Or you can just use an existing sound

[naive onyx]

and how would i do that

[opaque falcon]

Like other mods engine sound that is accurate

If you get the approval

[bright jacinth]

youll need to unpack the mod and edit it

[dawn tiger]

That's the hard part lol clipping 30 separate sound samples lol

[bright jacinth]

and you would also need to know which rpm is which right?

i remember seeing sound blends in some mods that i've used

[dawn tiger]

Yea or just do a really good job at guessing lol

[bright jacinth]

@dawn tiger anyways how have i not complimented you yet? you look like such a promising up and coming modder with what you've done so far and i would like you to see you suceed

[naive onyx]

how do i get the rb26 sounds to work

[bright jacinth]

they're probably already in the mod

[naive onyx]

i took the sounds form another mod

[bright jacinth]

oh

[dawn tiger]

Ok so in the other mod copy the whole art folder and put it in the mod you want then open the engine that uses the rb26 sounds and find where it says sound config and copy that section to the engine you want

[dawn tiger]

Thank you I appreciate it

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @bright jacinth (current: #350 - 7)

[naive onyx]

the thing is there is no art folder in the nissan patrol mod i want to put the sounds in

[bright jacinth]

create one then

and make sure its alongside the "vehicles" folder

[dawn tiger]

did you unpack the mod

[naive onyx]

how do you do that

[bright jacinth]

from the game

[dawn tiger]

go in game and find the mod i the mod manager and click it then click unpack

[naive onyx]

like launch beamng

[dawn tiger]

yea

it should look like this when you copy the stuff from the art folder to the new mod

[dawn tiger]

so in game do this and click the unpack button

then go inside the unpacked folder and find the mod and add the art folder

[naive onyx]

its not there anymore

[dawn tiger]

yea its in the unpacked folder

[dawn tiger]

now copy the art folder of the mod that has the rb26 ssound into there

[naive onyx]

good?

[bright jacinth]

yes

[dawn tiger]

yep now go to the mod that has the rb26 sound and find the engine jbeam and find the sound config section

[dawn tiger]

no go bacxk to nissan_ftk and click vehicles

then inside that folder there should be an engine jbeam somewhere

[bright jacinth]

@naive onyx do you want a tb to have rb sounds or do you want an rb swap?

[naive onyx]

tb to have rb sounds cause this mod uses the etk sounds

[bright jacinth]

[bright jacinth]

go to the engine jbeam and find the sound configs

open the jbeam using the

notepad or download notepad++ if you want to edit jbeams in the future

well ther should be one for exhaust but u can

[crude halo]

what wheels would you choose

[distant hare]

fully depends on the car

[crude halo]

and help new test wheel not appeared in game

[crude halo]

astonishing answer but few issues.........

[dense jungle]

I mean, even that is tedious to use, but just visually

[crude halo]

Which one

@rain spoke what do you think?

[uncut fox]

What are you using?

[ocean mauve]

I don't use any plugins

[crude halo]

something wrong?

i lower the spoiler height and it is not appear

[silver galleon]

yall how do i change a ball hitch to pintle hitch (like not visually)

[ocean mauve]

Change "couplerTag":"tow_hitch" to "couplerTag":"pintle"

However if you want to do it properly you'll have to change some more stuff, including triggers if you wanna use those instead of the L key to couple, and realistically the strength of the hitch too. Try looking at the pintle vs reciever hitch in the game files /content/vehicles/md_series.zip/vehicles/md_series/md_series_hitch_plate.jbeam

[silver galleon]

i would like to use the l key

but where do i find the tow hitch thingy

i also dont see a content folder

[ocean mauve]

Depends on what car, I'd assume in most case they have their own jbeam file with hitch in the name, like in the md-series example I sent

[ocean mauve]

It should be in the game files, in your Steam library right click on BeamNG > Manage > Browse local files

And then your modded version would go in the userfolder (https://documentation.beamng.com/support/userfolder/)

[silver galleon]

i dont really understand

[ocean mauve]

What part?

[warm citrus]

does anyone have vivace "quick ratio drift steering" code to add in jbeam file? thx

[silver galleon]

what part of the modded version goes in there

[opaque falcon]

looks like junk

[uncut fox]

Yes

[ocean mauve]

The entire thing? Just take the vanilla hitch .jbeam file from the game files (of whatever can you're working on), and copy that to your userfolder/0.34/mods/unpacked/modname/vehicles/carname/ here

Then give the file a unique name so it doesn't overwrite the vanilla file. Do the same for the part name all the at the top in the jbeam (and for other parts in the file too, if there are any). Then it will be a separate part from the vanilla one, and you can make whatever change you'd like to it

[silver galleon]

i cant find it for the bruckell nine, well actually im not even sure the nine has it but

[uncut fox]

yeah nine has it

[silver galleon]

well i cant find it

[ocean mauve]

I'm not sure if the Nine even has any kind of modern hitch at all, wouldn't make much sense anyway. You could port it from a different car to the Nine, but I'm afraid that is a bit more work than I can explain in a couple messages

[silver galleon]

hope theres like a universal hitch mod

[ocean mauve]

There is, but it doesn't seem to have one for the Nine
https://www.beamng.com/resources/tow-hitches-for-non-towable-cars.21930/

[uncut fox]

I'm afraid there is not one for the nine

[ocean mauve]

No wait the pickup version of the Nine does come with a hitch, so it definitely has one. Just not sure in what file

[silver galleon]

i actually dont have to make it into a pintle hitch

although issue is i kinda want the hitch on the HOTROD

no clue how to do that

trying to find the hitch in a pickup file, not working really

[uncut fox]

SubieBerry maybe knows

[silver galleon]

i found it

its called "nine_towhitch"

[knotty thistle]

Guys sorry for interrupt but I have a question. In world editor>terrain tools>any brush option I can't see the circle of brush and can't edit any terrain. Yesterday there is no such a thing and everything works normally and now I presume without circle, can't do any changes on terrain but it doesn't appear on screen. Is there a shortcut to show hide or something cus I couldn't find it yet?

[silver galleon]

#support

[silver galleon]

now is just the question, HOW THE HECK DO I TRANSFER IT TO THE HOTROD/COUPE

crazy. (ive been searching for around 20 minutes trying to get it to work only to realize in the curved bumper folder theres a hitch.)

[opaque falcon]

this one looks ok

[silver galleon]

are u makinga ute

[opaque falcon]

mid engine moonhawk

try to figure out how to make it look nice

lower the roof

[crude halo]

[dreamy coral]

does anyone know any good 2014 ferrari 458 spider and 2017 bentley flying spur mulliner 6.0 W12 mods??

[dense jungle]

you wont get any ferraris as they were all taken down from the forums

and theres no bentleys as far as anyone knows

[dreamy coral]

i already have 2010 458 and i found some new bentleys

but i cant find 2014 458 and 2017 flying spur

[dense jungle]

gonna tell you now, you shouldnt be getting mods there

[dreamy coral]

oh, ok

[dreamy coral]

what about mercedes 500 sel?

[dense jungle]

same thing

[dreamy coral]

thx

[naive onyx]

when im done editing a mod do i repack it?

[ocean mauve]

up to you, if i remember correctly it doesnt matter much other that the obvious storage space difference

[naive onyx]

@dawn tiger my engine is not showing up in game

[thick niche]

did you ask it nicely

[naive onyx]

mb

[white raft]

could someone help
the slottype is correct but the transmission still isnt showing up

[ocean mauve]

etk should be etkk

[outer solstice]

you need an underscore, spaces won’t work

[white raft]

but the slot ingame doesnt have a second k

[ocean mauve]

yes it does?

[white raft]

i didnt even change the name
that was like this

[outer solstice]

either way there should be an underscore

[white raft]

added a k
still doesnt work

[outer solstice]

^

[white raft]

well it works without one on other engines

[outer solstice]

that’s a vanilla option

[ocean mauve]

oh wait moving something from the etkk to some other etk? nvm then

[white raft]

its not even a vanilla car

[ocean mauve]

nvm again then

[outer solstice]

also an etk subslot won’t work on the d series

[white raft]

who mentioned the d series ?

[ocean mauve]

what

[white raft]

dude im modding an etk K series

not a goddamn truck

[outer solstice]

It looked like the D-series transmission subtree (i’m far too familiar)

[white raft]

no its the K series

and im V10 swapping it
but the 5 speed doesnt show up under the V10

id use a 6 speed but then the shifter doesnt work
and the shifter is a 5 speed anyway

[outer solstice]

check the subslot on the V10

[white raft]

where do i see that ?

[outer solstice]

in the jbeam file for the V10

[outer solstice]

if you haven't yet added the underscore then that would be causing a problem

if not that then check syntax maybe

[white raft]

there are underscores

the name doesnt need underscores afaik

[white raft]

the what

[outer solstice]

it does

[white raft]

then why doesnt any part name have underscores ?

the V10 doesnt have them for example

[outer solstice]

they do

the name doesn't need them as it's a simple string value

[ocean mauve]

"it does"
"doesn't need them"
huh

[outer solstice]

but these do

[white raft]

yes i know that
thats not the name

[white raft]

bro is simply clueless

[outer solstice]

no I'm confused on the breakdown of communication here

[white raft]

okay so
it does have underscores
slottype is correct
still doesnt show up

[outer solstice]

check syntax

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/what-is-syntax-components-rules-and-common-mistakes/

I'd struggle to explain it properly over discord

[white raft]

uhhhhhhhhhh
what

[ocean mauve]

Could you send your mod over? So I could take a closer look

[outer solstice]

yeah chuck me the file too
