Yea

[charred gorge]

is there a way or tutorial to add cargo box options to automation cars in beam?

[frigid palm]

@winter cliff i know it’s a long shot but was the caldera remaster ever finished or was it put on hold?

[winter cliff]

@frigid palm I actually just started on it again

[frigid palm]

Oh damn

Nice

[untold beacon]

just tried the AMG One by Phaien & love it

[cyan drum]

yuck

[errant sinew]

yo for some reason when i sub to a new mod it doesnt show up ingame ??

[cyan drum]

what mod is it

[errant sinew]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/nates-nissan-gq-patrol-canopy.29528/

[cyan drum]

if it doesn't appear at the bottom of the cars list try f5 or ctrl l

[errant sinew]

still

downloaded more cars yesterday, dragged them to the mod folder and wont show ingame

[untold beacon]

solve one problem at once

[cyan drum]

are you dragging them here?

[errant sinew]

yes

all my mods here work except new ones i try to put in

[cyan drum]

why are you unpacking them

[errant sinew]

they were like that i didnt touch them

half packed and half unpacked

idk y

[cyan drum]

you must never unpack mods unless you're going to modify them and even then that's the wrong folder of where unpacked mods go

[untold beacon]

jusdt leave them as zips

[errant sinew]

most of the mods are packed

i didn unpack

[cyan drum]

also ew why 3rd party sites mods

[untold beacon]

redownload or check them while they're in your Download folder to start with

& yes avoid 3rd party

Virusy McVirusface

[errant sinew]

i downloaded a mod from the forums and still did not work

[cyan drum]

I'm not sure what's exactly wrong but unpacked mods in the wrong folder is one thing

[untold beacon]

but where did it download from?

[errant sinew]

mod manager

[cyan drum]

not that it's just the fact 3rd party sites are just full of garbage mods

forums also have their bad apples but nowhere near bad as modland and others

[spring barn]

hey guiys i need help on how to download a mod

[ocean mauve]

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

[stone horizon]

what best websites and people to buy paid mods from

[dense jungle]

kofi and gumroad although they will usually have a forum post with them

heres a list of paid mods

[stone horizon]

thx

[stone horizon]

also any rally mods not beamng.rally i have that already

[viral pollen]

Yall got any good Lemans or Mazda 787B mods?

[opaque falcon]

welp the v10 just barely fits

seems like i have to do a lot of work to make the accessories fit too

[dawn tiger]

Cut the body who cares. V10 lol

[opaque falcon]

not that easy bruh

I just finished the frame

[dawn tiger]

Well it is that easy I also make mods so I mean idk what u mean by not that easy lol

[opaque falcon]

I already extend the body

If i extend it more, means the car is going to be a limo

[dawn tiger]

Limo V10 moon hawk I'm down

[stone horizon]

i’ve been trying to find le mans mod i feel like no one makes them

i heard use automation to make them

i’ve also been looking for group b rally mods they have none surprisingly. I’d pay money for group b mods

[cyan drum]

makes sense when there's little to no mechanical or chassis images for them probably

[elder python]

I wanted to ask, is there anyone working on modding the TIV 2 or any type of Tornado Intercept Vehicle into BeamNG?
I've seen at least 2 posts about adding one of the Dominators, but one of them is cancelled, and the other I know was made by BryceSTP, but I don't know if that will be finished at some point.

[stone horizon]

could probably find some not from group b but using their stock model

[opaque falcon]

Mid engine limo v10 moonhawk

But no

[cerulean karma]

Hello, my name is chase, I’m new to beamng, and new to the whole modding stuff, I was just wondering if there is any older Mercedes, Lexus, (the slammed/static build cars) available, along with some wheel mods (Weds, vs, ect) I’m not sure how to really find stuff. I believe I’m allowed to post this but not 100% sure, please let me know if I’m not allowed so I can take it down

[cyan drum]

now model all of that with a singular top-view low res picture lol

[stone horizon]

i’m just using one picture i found

[dawn tiger]

well its either stretch the body more or cut the trunk pan out and the support behinf the rear sear

[opaque falcon]

Like I said not that simple

[stone horizon]

but with the right searches and searching the web could prob find some stuff

[opaque falcon]

The water pump is already flushed with the b pillar

[cyan drum]

not sure about the cars bit (don't think any exist) but I do have a paid wheel pack which has the type rims you're looking for... kinda

[opaque falcon]

If I move the firewall to the front to avoid the waterpump means the firewall will be ahead of the b pillar alot

[cerulean karma]

I’d greatly appreciate if you would DM me and kind of catch me up. I’m very confused on all this stuff, and what not to trust

[dawn tiger]

What does it look like with the seat in it whereyour going to put the fire wall

[cyan drum]

I don't think DMs are necessary, however, you can search the car model you would like by doing it like this on google:
(carname) site:beamng.com

if it's not there then it doesn't exist

[cerulean karma]

Gotcha. I’ll try that! Thank you.

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @cyan drum (current: #36 - 68)

[cyan drum]

they might be in other sites such as modland, modsgaming etc, but these sites aren't trustworthy nor reputable in the community

[opaque falcon]

Haven't try that yet because I haven't decided the interior

[cyan drum]

and the mods uploaded there tend to be really bad

[opaque falcon]

I might change the seats, dash and center console

[cerulean karma]

Yeah, I’ve been on both of those already, and it just overall seems sketchy, so I just resorted to the official Beamng stuff

[dawn tiger]

well the seat position would still be the same tho

[cyan drum]

if you're interested on the wheel pack, here it is https://ko-fi.com/s/b70ebe45b2

[opaque falcon]

Maybe, or not

Depends

I want to keep the original doors

[desert tartan]

Quick question

Has anyone made a four door version for the "Hirochi Aurata" yet?

[crude halo]

What dimension fit this?

[woven idol]

does anyone know a mod map with a gas station that has good lighting?

[sour dew]

Ik this is a goofy suggestion, but this would be super cool to some how have it be universal

[dawn tiger]

I mean I can just make it an asset for people to download and put on there cars or do u mean for just stock beam cars

[sour dew]

Looks good tho, I’m glad more people are making classics

[sour dew]

Nah I mean for everything, but as an asset would be pretty cool

[sour dew]

Can you dm me a link to what I’m assuming is your server in your bio, it’s expired

[dawn tiger]

Yea one sec

[fervent creek]

has anyone seen any good junkyard/scrapyard mods that we can salvage cars as a business? I have the RLS mod and would love to run out and collect cars to strip and scrap for cash....

grab a tow truck and pick up cars

sell the parts for profit.

[dawn tiger]

Not that i know of but ther is a guy working on a magnet crane and a claw craine truck wich will be perfect for those types of things

[fervent creek]

that would be so cool

[celest root]

hey guys, im just wondering what website i can get mods from that has the lowest chance of giving me a virus, excluding beam themselves

[cyan drum]

beammonsters.com and reputable paid mods

[celest root]

awesome thank you

[sour dew]

Beammonsters mentioned

[drowsy leaf]

Have you considered focusing on a single thing instead of changing projects each day

[crude halo]

yes

[crude halo]

h o w

[neon magnet]

wheel offset or some variable like that

[crude halo]

how can i fix it?

i use vivace as base and front suspension from bastion

[crude halo]

how can i fix that? if i use bastion bodyi cant make it liftgate

[ocean mauve]

look honest answer, it's kinda hard to help when you're just meshslapping things together, another full car every couple of days it seems. it would be a much better idea to do some smaller project first (new parts for existing cars) with scratch jbeams, to learn the basics of it

[knotty cliff]

is there a better channel/server for beamng flowgraph/lua/programming modding questions?

[sour dew]

https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/710083442834145280

[knotty cliff]

hah, I should have asked there :) It seems both these channels are mostly about vehicle modding though

[sour dew]

Nah they can help you about anything

All I do is “make” maps and I’ve gotten help from there many times

[knotty cliff]

ah ok, I'm just having bad luck and not getting any responses then, I'll try again at some other time :) Thanks

[crude halo]

and this one i try to do jbeam.

normally i use bastion as base but since this i try with expiremental what if i use Vivace as base (due to hatchback) and use bastion front suspension

[torpid umbra]

I honestly wish that there's a way that you can copy the location of one thing in blunder then put the coordinates scale and everything into the new model and have it go to that exact same spot and be the exact same rotation and everything even scale as the old model that you copied.

[crude halo]

the suspension that i used is copied from bastion and relocated in Model S and i applied transform all

and speaking of small projects air suspension fixed to not interfere with other vanilla additional functions (i.e. openable window in vanilla car)

[crude halo]

fixed.

of air sus and interfering the another plugin

[weary hollow]

what y’all think about the material of these door handles? similar to reality?

[crude halo]

some chrome trim from some vanilla might help

[flat tapir]

@quartz stag Let me know if you would like any testers for the FFB mod you mentioned in the one of the threads here. I have a lot of experience tuning and tweaking FFB on my DD setup, would love to test your mod if you decide to release. Thank you!

[modern ore]

This may not look like much, but this is one of the first, if not THE first third party map mod that was ever released for BeamNG... and I found the old files and got it working again 😄 (only a small problem with distant textures on the trees remains) Its over 10 years old!

so nostalgic 😛

I also found a few of my other old maps, gonna get them working as well

[hoary shell]

should i start making my hometown in beamng or is map making as hard as they say it is

[modern ore]

Its a hell of a lot easier than it was 10 years ago, I'll tell ya that 😄

[eternal steppe]

Hi I have a question, recently I began making liveries from NFS Most Wanted and Carbon. So far I've done a couple, now I want to make for the corvette C6 mod but it doesn't have a skin. How do I make one? Like it doesn't have skin support if it's making sense

[sour dew]

It’s easier once you get everything down pat, but starting is hard

[unkempt vector]

does anyone actually make high detailed vehicle mods anymore?

[thick niche]

you'd have to add slot type for the skin selection, skin materials to identify what files to pull for skin, and last you'd have to make a skin uv for it

[eternal steppe]

I can create the skin easily, so what your saying is that I have to edit the jbeam and materials myself right?

[thick niche]

your not listening

you'd have to add slot type for the skin selection, skin materials to identify what files to pull for skin, and last you'd have to make a skin uv for it

[eternal steppe]

Oh ok, I'll try it and I'll let you know

Thanks

[hard prairie]

Drag truck got a bit of an update. Need to come up with a custom livery for it 😁

[sour dew]

Have you ever even looked at the repo?

[thick niche]

does anyone actually even use their eyes anymore

[sour dew]

Right 😭

[ocean mauve]

Check the Work In Progress stuff in this list ;)

[dense jungle]

[frank cove]

T Series needs a jake brake tbh

[dawn tiger]

It does. It's the compression brake

[ionic obsidian]

Hey guys, I can't make mods to save my life hahaha, But I have just photoshop renders of ideas anyone can use and was wondering where maybe I could share my ideas? I don't mind if people dont like them or anything or want to use them. I just enjoy creating them for ideas for people

[drowsy leaf]

send em here but dont expect anyone to care

[ionic obsidian]

yeah I get that 100%

[sour dew]

First one looks like that one bruckell mod

[ionic obsidian]

the idea was for a previa based mod, Sorta giving a Japanese/European style mod as I love to cruise around in like MPV's, SUV and just day to day cars

[sour dew]

Here one sec I’ll send the mod I’m talking about

[ionic obsidian]

yeah I know what one your on about

[sour dew]

Yea lol

[ionic obsidian]

Ohhhh that one aswel hahaha

Yeah I have both of these, Just want some more minivan mods hahaha

Idk to create more of these ideas

[frank cove]

Does it make the noise? Maybe I have just not used/activated it

[dawn tiger]

Yea sounds sick af not as good as a real Jake brake but is nice

[frank cove]

Noice I’ll have to check it out

[frank cove]

Thanks!

I believe it's either y or t to turn it on and you can change the strength of it also

[hard prairie]

Tandem truck looks good lowered as well.

[unkempt vector]

I mean yeah. none of them are really "high quality" at least not what I mean anyway, like all the stuff works but there aren't any features I haven't seen before, the cars look fine I guess, they aren't amazing.

[sour dew]

There’s plenty of dev quality mods on the repo and forums

You’re really asking for every car to have some innovative feature, you can only get so fancy

[unkempt vector]

no I'm not, I'm asking for the ones that do

by high quality I don't mean flying gavrils I mean good looking cars

your settings can only change so much, mine are on as high as they can go and the only cars I have that look somewhat decent are the vanilla cars

[thick niche]

sounds like skill issue

[unkempt vector]

for the devs yeah

[thick niche]

for you

[unkempt vector]

wouldn't make any sense would it

[thick niche]

your telling me the ccf doesn't look good?

your telling me the horiochi rush doesn't look good?

the dynamo doesn't look good?

[unkempt vector]

the vanilla ones?

[thick niche]

these are mods

your saying you've only got vanillas to look good

[cyan drum]

what kinda new features are you even looking for?

[thick niche]

i want that smellovision addon

the ccf has a working information station thats pretty innovative w/ a working radio

[unkempt vector]

I don't really care about the features to be honest I just want a car that looks good visually like in terms of the body

[sour dew]

He wants them to have windows that can roll down ti any amount, voiced navigation, and an interactive shifter (probably)

[thick niche]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/2020-hirochi-ccf.29318/

Go download this and tell me it doesnt look good lol

[sour dew]

You haven’t even looked yet, literally most cars on the repo are beautiful

[unkempt vector]

the ccf is good. it looks good. it's a combination of everything so sure yeah . I didn't say every car on the repo isn't good

[unkempt vector]

I've looked all through the repo

[sour dew]

Even this thing is beautiful https://www.beamng.com/threads/wentward-s3-updated-for-0-33.95636/

[sour dew]

Clearly you haven’t

[thick niche]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/60-62-gavril-dynamo-paid.97169/

[unkempt vector]

what the actual fuck

[thick niche]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-bx-ute-gavril-huntsman.33071/

[unkempt vector]

tell me your genuinely trolling

[thick niche]

what

[unkempt vector]

looks alright

[unkempt vector]

the fucking bus

[thick niche]

look at pinned post

theres a bunch of nice mods @ocean mauve took their wonderful time to compile

[unkempt vector]

yeah I'm looking at them

going through them now

[sour dew]

Just because it isn’t visually appealing doesn’t mean it isn’t a good mod

It has high quality textures and interactive interior

[unkempt vector]

all of them just feel super unrealistic, it's like they've somehow cranked the settings down to minimum before showcasing the car

[thick niche]

lol...

[unkempt vector]

I'll install a few and see if the look changes though because that could well be what they've done

[sour dew]

Then go play another game or make your own mod

[thick niche]

sounds like a skill issue

[unkempt vector]

or you could just try to understand I'm not complaining I'm just asking 💀

[sour dew]

Then what the hell do you want, people have sent you stuff and yes, you are complaining

[thick niche]

you just called some of the best mods in beamng unrealistic and crappy looking

"im not complaining"

[unkempt vector]

I'm gonna be so real

let me show u something

[thick niche]

no, your being overly picky wanting it to look like assetto corsa with sol

[sour dew]

If you want a car’s paint and crap to look good then yea get reshade

Paint can only get so glossy and reflective

[thick niche]

bro is about to show a 8k picture w/ reshade on

[sour dew]

😭

[dawn tiger]

No just adjust the values in the paint selector it can be as glossy as you set it lol.

[unkempt vector]

assetto corsa looks ass 💀

[sour dew]

Yea, but I think this guy wants it looking like assetto

[sour dew]

“Let me show you something” can you show us already

[onyx dirge]

BeamNG doesn't do well at large flat surfaces
So a bus ends up looking really bland especially during midday -shrug-

[unkempt vector]

looks better than this tho

[thick niche]

assetto corsa w/ pure and mods doesn't look like ass.

[cyan drum]

that's a very ancient picture lmao

[sour dew]

I wonder why… because that’s an old mod and on old image

[unkempt vector]

then why would they still have it up...

[sour dew]

Have you ever even played the damn game

[onyx dirge]

That's pre-PBR BeamNG right there I think lol

[cyan drum]

because lack of updates is a thing?

[dawn tiger]

yea but its still an ass game

[sour dew]

It is lol

[thick niche]

that is true

[unkempt vector]

I literally clicked a random one and now all of a sudden I pick the "old" and "ancient" image

[cyan drum]

beamng looks like this now

[sour dew]

You hand picked that, a random image of beamNG doesn’t take 2 minutes to find

[unkempt vector]

that's a decent looking mod though

that's what I was talking about

[sour dew]

Here’s one of the first images I found

[onyx dirge]

Wth lol

[unkempt vector]

the one in the back looks good

[sour dew]

Yea it’s an old mod

[thick niche]

hes not gonna be satisified just leave him be

[sour dew]

It’s an in game car.. have you ever even started the game?

[dawn tiger]

Its just paint and lighting lol

[cyan drum]

newer pictures are slowly phasing out older ones when doing a google image search

[thick niche]

he wants models with 1 million polys

[cyan drum]

first pic is, infact, a very recent one

[dawn tiger]

He can buy my riviera its only 2mil for the body lol

[unkempt vector]

no as in the mod looks good, if I was to do that with this mod it wouldn't look anywhere near the same

[thick niche]

you are gonna fix that right lol

[sour dew]

I’m sure he only likes modern cars

[sour dew]

Because the mod is OLD with NO PBR what do you not understand oh my god

[unkempt vector]

I really don't. your making a rather big deal out of this aren't you

[unkempt vector]

okay

[thick niche]

ima bring my marquis into beamng next lol

[sour dew]

Nice yacht

[thick niche]

i love yachts

[dawn tiger]

Maybe It looks good and runs ok but i have been lowring the poly count slowly i think rn its down to like 130k or something but it was highhhhhh

[dawn tiger]

Do it we need more boats

[sour dew]

I wish beamNG had more actual boats lol

[unkempt vector]

what's the point there's no water physics

[thick niche]

..

[sour dew]

Yea just please stop speaking thanks

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @unkempt vector (current: #650 - 3)

[unkempt vector]

cheers for the rep

[dawn tiger]

well there is buoyancy so idk what ur talking about

[thick niche]

by yachts we mean 80s oversized coupes/ sedans

[sour dew]

And pressure physics

[cyan drum]

your issue is you're just looking at a very old mod, beamng has improved a lot over the years graphics wise

[sour dew]

Oh well, I do really mean real boats but still lol

[unkempt vector]

I was being sarcastic but whatever

[thick niche]

what is this one?

[dawn tiger]

I dont know if u know what sarcasm is

[sour dew]

You should put pontoons on one of your cars (joke) (but if you could it would be kinda cool lol)

[cyan drum]

arima hestia with my own rims from one of my packs

[sour dew]

I think… you were just wrong

[thick niche]

nice

[unkempt vector]

I mean some of the pictures here the paint is just a solid matte color and that can't be to do with the actual paint it's got to be the mod surely because I've never been able to achieve that look on a vanilla car without putting the settings all the way down

[dawn tiger]

there are a few but i can try lol or make a duck boat idk if u know what that is tho

[unkempt vector]

back at you

[thick niche]

you know there is paint configs so you can adjust metallic, clearcoat, paint etc

[sour dew]

If you mean this amphibious trucks, yes I do I’ve risen on one

Riden

[dawn tiger]

yes lol

[sour dew]

Rode whatever

[cyan drum]

just adjust the paint then...?

[onyx dirge]

The pursuit of graphics fidelity continues suppose

[sour dew]

May be able to take inspiration from that old moonhawk boat mod

[unkempt vector]

show me this one with "adjusted paint"

[cyan drum]

one sec

[thick niche]

my only complaint with beamng graphics is the aa (if they correc that issue alone, it'll be mint)

[dawn tiger]

use ziets dlaa mod

[thick niche]

i am currently now 🙂

[sour dew]

This is a 2+ year old image completely vanilla

[sour dew]

On normal settings too

[dense jungle]

the graphicsd at night dont look good though, its just the lighting and i think probably the lack of street lights on maps, or at least thats it on ecusa

[unkempt vector]

looks hand drawn by my little brother

[sour dew]

IMO I don’t notice much difference from normal to ultra other than shadows

[thick niche]

dudes just a lame troll disregard him any further

[cyan drum]

all I had to do was to reduce the roughness slider lol

[sour dew]

You might be the stupidest person I’ve ever met

[thick niche]

hes being satire this entire time cause hes bored.

[unkempt vector]

that's just reflective though, not metallic or anything like it's not a usual color

[thick niche]

metallic is at 100 you knob

[cyan drum]

metallic is set at 100%

[unkempt vector]

do you go out

[thick niche]

go get your eyes checked, you might be blind

[sour dew]

I’m outside all the time, and Maryland is full of idiotic people but I think you might take the cake for the entire world

[thick niche]

everyone in here is basically showing you, and you just keep saying "looks like my little brother drew it"

[onyx dirge]

I'm reading through this persons past comments which are a lot about BeamNG and graphics + blatantly false info about an exploit that was present in the game previously 🤦
Doesn't seem worth interacting with

[cyan drum]

metallic plays a huge role in how paint looks, 0% metallic just looks... not metallic lol

[dawn tiger]

His little brother is Chip Foose lol

[thick niche]

hue

[unkempt vector]

george carlin stunt double type joke right here

[cyan drum]

despite having roughness at 0% it looks nowhere like it did with 100% metallic

[unkempt vector]

make the paint normal then

that's what I was asking.

[cyan drum]

define "normal"

[unkempt vector]

realistic?

like the vanilla cars

[thick niche]

define it

[unkempt vector]

not you obviously

[thick niche]

define what you want

[cyan drum]

what's "realistic" to you

[dawn tiger]

Normal isnt a thing when it comes to paint lol they are all different in real life

[unkempt vector]

christ

[thick niche]

you know most materials set on cars are based off of the vanilla cars

so iirc there isn't a difference

[unkempt vector]

evidently that isn't "most" then is it

[thick niche]

evidently i think your just hard of seeing

[sour dew]

Okay I get it, looking through his message history, he wants every map to look like the showroom map

[cyan drum]

lol

[unkempt vector]

I mean if your trying to tell me that looks fucking normal you've truly gone nuts I don't care how many people defend you

[unkempt vector]

since when we're we talking abouts maps

[thick niche]

well the more of us say, than you do so i think your in your own wording

[sour dew]

You’ve yet to send an example

[cyan drum]

0% metallic isn't normal, 100% metallic and roughness to taste is

[sour dew]

Says the one that’s freaking out over beamNG graphics

[unkempt vector]

already sent normal photos in this server. if your that bothered look

[cyan drum]

I don't get how this looks any bad

[unkempt vector]

no no no, your getting hung up on me saying that devs aren't making the mods like the used to

[cyan drum]

you're*

[thick niche]

show us a picture you took that looks good

[unkempt vector]

how doesn't it

[unkempt vector]

fuck off 🤣

[sour dew]

Do you realize that this “decent picture” is with reshade, on a map with special lighting for photos, you dummy

[unkempt vector]

use your eyes or are we blind?

[thick niche]

yes, as i was maced as a child

[cyan drum]

your being mentally slow by assuming shit

and just wasting your time by arguing with someone who couldn't give a fuck what you've got to say

hahah same but when you finsih you can look backand be like damn i did that instead of looking forwward thinkind damn i have to do that

[dense jungle]

well, subie did the jbeam and theres a bit more work needed than i expected initially

[plain vapor]

quick question, how do i put a mod that i paid for into beamng?

[hasty rose]

@sweet olive When do you plan on releasing the E90 I CANTTT WAITTT FOR ITTT 🤩

[cyan drum]

https://go.beamng.com/installing-mods

[onyx dirge]

Open the mods section of the game
Click on "Open Mods Folder"
Copy it into there

[onyx dirge]

I wish this documentation was a bit clearer
It says copy into your userfolder, which when clicked is a big "I aint reading all that" article which doesn't even really get to the point

[ocean mauve]

First thing you see after clicking, seems clear to me

[dawn tiger]

Its easier if they show you from in game tho since thats what most people are going to want to do

[onyx dirge]

Ah I hadn't checked since it was introduced

[wicked egret]

assetto does not look like ass, beam looks ok

beam would be 9/10 graphics with bettter skyboxes and less grainy shadows

assetto corsa can be beautiful

[dawn tiger]

Wrong lol assetto only looks good with mods beam looks good without mods come again

[wicked egret]

so can beam

[wicked egret]

uh assettto is like 10 years since the last update

of course its gonna look worse vanilla

also beam does look ass in certain areas

the shadows and ambient occlusion have like the ugliest grain ever

the lighting itself is horrible optimized

[dawn tiger]

well my pic is a map i made so technically im not wrong to post it here

[wicked egret]

beam can look very pretty but it just suffers from very strange issues graphicly

[dawn tiger]

anti aliasing is all and there is a mod to fix that and a mod to fix skyboxes

[loud pivot]

yeah the anti-aliasing needs a buff but overall I'd say the graphics can be quite good

there are issues from maps but thats very map dependant, game engine wise the graphics suffice just fine minus the aliasing

[dawn tiger]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/zeits-graphics-settings-utils-for-beamng-0-34-x.85768/ For aa

[wicked egret]

and also the super grainy shadows and ambient occlusion, or how terribly optimized the actual lighting is

and I don't mean low shadow resolution

[loud pivot]

the grainy shadows is right I have noticed that

it feels like theres glitter where theres a shadow sometimes

[wicked egret]

also the game running really bad for how it looks

like I know the cars themselves are demanding

but like I never use any more than 20% of my cpu

[loud pivot]

when did u start playing, because this last update the performance has struggled a lot worse than it typically does

[dawn tiger]

the game run fine lol i have a 15 year old cpu and an 8 year old gpu and i play ultra at 60 fps

[wicked egret]

2019

[dawn tiger]

Yea sometimes but if u turn up the shadow size in world editor it fixes it

[wicked egret]

were they like the most expensive gpu and cpu when they came out?

[dawn tiger]

i have a 1070 and a i5 4750

[wicked egret]

I have a rtx1650 and a ryzen 5 5600 and the fps is as unsteady as possible

other games I'll get low fps in, its still a steady low fps

maybe its something to do with the lods in beam idk

[loud pivot]

well what map are you using, because the only way the steadyness is relevant is if its like two comparable scenarios

[wicked egret]

vanilla maps

or techeyy and kirby guy's maps

the only maps I really play on

idk, I like beam, but it definitly has big graphical issues

[dawn tiger]

You also only have 4gb of vram wich is not even close to enough for ultra

[wicked egret]

yeah I need to throw this card out

still crazy I can run AC with Pure and all the settings in content manager turned on

shit looks beautiful

[dawn tiger]

well thats cause assetto is like 20 polys lol and has 0 simulations running in the background

[wicked egret]

my fps in Beam doesn't really tank when running 1 car compard to 10-20

I'm pretty sure its pretty telling its the graphics thats causing issues

[dawn tiger]

1. you have a 4gb gpu which is almost useless for any modern game. i guarantee you get a better gpu and the game will run fine. The game is also built on a game engine older than assetto corsa so beam nd devs themselves are modifying something older than most of the beam ng players to do things not even thought of at the time it was released

[onyx dirge]

The game is also built on a game engine older than assetto corsa so beam nd devs themselves are modifying something older than most of the beam ng players to do things not even thought of at the time it was released

That doesn't really matter in the end tbh with how much they've modified it

GTA V is built on 25 year old foundations

[wicked egret]

yeah and iRacing is still somewhat based on NR2002 from what I've heard

I get great stable fps on that

tbh my settings on that look pretty crap

[unkempt vector]

yeah okay highly debatable

[dawn tiger]

rage engine is 2006 so 19 years but yea and gta looks like dog water compared to beam lol

[onyx dirge]

It was adapted from AGE (Angel Game Engine), started in 1999 but first released game was in 2000
A bunch of AGE code from that era still hangs around

[wicked egret]

idk, it doesn't look any better than this, especially at 75fps on my shitass PC

[wicked egret]

whats weird is I don't lose any FPS going from normal lighting, to Ultra

is lighting a CPU thing?

I overspent on my CPU

[dawn tiger]

Nah but that is weird that u dont lose any fps when switching

[unkempt vector]

nah your right assetto is quite a good game graphically, definitely more realistic than beamng but I'd say beamng looks "better" in the best situations if you get what I'm saying

[dawn tiger]

assetto with mods loooks good

[unkempt vector]

I've also experienced this on the vulkan renderer

[dawn tiger]

true i guess but i still take stock beam over any stock game any day

[wicked egret]

I mean, modded can still be compared to a game still being updated, a who studio has more money and resources than a bunch of fans, and AC might as well not even be Kunos's game, its pretty much now just the game of whoever runs Content Manager, so id still compare

[unkempt vector]

yeah. it's gotten better without mods too, I don't know what I saw earlier something about the game not being updated for 10 years or something that's bullshit lol

[dawn tiger]

Vulkan use both cpu and gpu to balance out performance

[cyan drum]

x4fab/ilja jusupov and peter boese pretty much

[onyx dirge]

Well, DX11 also heavily relies on single thread performance because the thousands of drawcalls BeamNG does taxes the CPU 😛

[unkempt vector]

yeah just saying he probably had that issue just because he was using vulkan as well

[wicked egret]

I love Peter Boese, not even kidding Pure makes AC look better than any games I've ever played

the colors are literally perfect

I believe colors do more handy work than any lighting, texture quality, or polygon count

[dawn tiger]

could be if he does use vulkan tho it is unstable on older cars even on my 1070 and he or she has a 1650 so probably doesnt handle vulkan very well

[unkempt vector]

icl I've never been able to get my assetto to look like how it looks on YouTube videos and stuff even with paid mods. not sure if it's just something hidden or I'm stupid though

[wicked egret]

if a game gets just the colors right, it will take way longer for it to age

[unkempt vector]

oh cool im also using a 1070

[dawn tiger]

a lot of people also use reshade and dont tell you lol

[unkempt vector]

still holding strong in 2025

[wicked egret]

Pure, and C13 AEGIS, is all I use

[unkempt vector]

is reshade really that good? I've used it on beamng but it never really made a difference or I just liked the look better without

[wicked egret]

I hate reshade, buggy mess, I need to unitstall that from my Beam

[dawn tiger]

Imo no not at all

[wicked egret]

I only use it for motion blur and pictures

when will beam get a better photo mode

blur in photos should be vanilla

[unkempt vector]

I like the photo mode

other than the no blur stuff yeah

I just edit my pictures afterwards though outside of beam obviously

[dawn tiger]

thats cheating lol

[unkempt vector]

eh I only change simple stuff I'm not color grading and shit

[wicked egret]

I don't know how to do that so I just don't, I much prefer the naturalist look anyway

motion blur my beloved

[dawn tiger]

you can turn up reflections past what is allowed in the menus

[unkempt vector]

luckily my phone has rather decent and easy to use photo editing software built into my phones gallery anyway

[wicked egret]

I only got a 1650 though, I'd rather not

[unkempt vector]

for screenshots it's fine

[wicked egret]

also I didn't mean the bluriness, the reflections look kinda funky at times, but that could be just shitty normals on certain cars

[onyx dirge]

The difference with Vulkan is efficiency really
Any renderer will use both CPU and GPU
Where the CPU handles all the work of dispatching things to the GPU

Vulkan is more complex and talks to the GPU more directly, so it can be better optimized
DX11 struggles because BeamNG's renderer does so much work and it ends up giving the single threaded DX11 renderer a hard time

I think the way Vulkan is implemented it uses more VRAM, I get around 8-10GB of VRAM usage on WCUSA

Which would explain FPS drops on a 4GB GPU

[dawn tiger]

yea it hogs down vram lol my old card had 4gb and barely ran vulkan

[wicked egret]

ngl I wouldn't mind if we got an update with no content if it just was a purley optimization update, though thats probably unlikely since the modelers and textures need to be getting paid too

[onyx dirge]

BeamNG is a large (~100 people iirc) team and is always working on all sorts of things 👀

[wicked egret]

I've been trying to figure out how to flash my vbios so I can try overclocking this gpu, but its not exepting any vbios I try to give it

[dawn tiger]

hopefully pedestrians come out soon like they showed in the tech side of things

[wicked egret]

I know its not good for the gpu but if it blows up I'll actually have a reason to buy a new gpu

[unkempt vector]

still waiting for vulkan to be properly optimized so we can get some better graphics

[wicked egret]

vulkan doesn't even support my card

[unkempt vector]

oh

[wicked egret]

that would be sick, if done properly beam would feel way more alive

as is it just feels like the car's universe

[dawn tiger]

yea it does

[dawn tiger]

swear ive been trying to use the snippet of code they left in the game on accident to make pedestrians but i dont know jack about coding

[onyx dirge]

There's also different game side code in the tech version so there could very well be missing pieces in game executable even if there's Lua lying around for it

[dawn tiger]

yea it spawns a debug cylinder and makes it move around but im just trynna get it to spawn a mesh instead idc if it has collision lol

mmmm crispy reflections they looks so good lol

[proven rose]

I've got to appreciate BeamNG (Beam Node Game?) being relativley easy and NOT archaic for anyone outside of BeamNG team to understand, lol. While the documentation is short, as someone who primarily works in Unity, editing cars with .jbeam files was suprisingly easy

One of my favorite parts is that engines and transmissions allow setting the actual curve points and gear ratios. as actual numbers

[cyan drum]

BeamNG stands for beam next gen as far as I know

[proven rose]

no spotty approximations or random numbers

I've already recreated an Abarth 124 Spider engine (2460 cc I4) for the pigeon (and by extension the wigeon because they share the same engine) lol

I just thought a peppy little engine in a teeny car makes sense

Behold, the bird eating spider

[dawn tiger]

Hell yea did u make custom sounds for it too?

[proven rose]

Not yet. I own Forza Horizon 5 on the PC so I might try to get their sounds out (since they don't encrypt them like BeamNG does)

much easier to have them instead of chopping up a youtube vid online... lol

[unkempt vector]

forza sounds are HORRIBLE

anything but them

[viral pollen]

Yall know any good German Medical mods or no?

[viral pollen]

Factual

[unkempt vector]

I love everything about Forza other than the sounds tho

[proven rose]

Oh yeah, I still play Forza Horizon 4 on my Xbox One S, I love it lol

[viral pollen]

I like it too I was on the grind for all barn finds until I got hooked on my Ferrari F40 barn find

[proven rose]

Forza Motorsport 6 on it too

[viral pollen]

Goated game but I prefer beamNG with the Le Mans map

Because I love my Mazda 787B

[unkempt vector]

love the rs6 kits on forza

[unkempt vector]

can't beat beam tho

[dawn tiger]

map im working on tell me it dont look good

[proven rose]

Any documentation on setting up sounds?

I find all the audio for the game (except certain files) I have to decrypt to let windows play them but i mean creating engine "group sounds"?

As in how engines can just say use "I4_2" and it knows "okay, we use these sounds"

intrestingly i find a beamng vanilla car has a very similar sound already lol

ill switch it to this pool and test that

[proven rose]

This is the result of one day (and the first day figuring out JBEAM), the engine, transmission, and ECU recreated. With the actual engine curve, gear ratios, and rev limits

I can't post it in #1102973298222051358 I assume because I am a new user lol. Plus it's not really special enough to be there lol

And yes, it uses the Gavril V8 sounds because they're kinda similar lol

[dawn tiger]

#mods-faq message Follow this for the showcase also id give it the vivace i4 sound

[proven rose]

I remember one mod I made way back that I defintley don't have now (0.2x days)

was a semi truck engine for the pigeon. it was just the semi truck engine but i made the model sit in the pigeon bed

it had no actual beams holding it so it kept breaking and falling but it didn't look that bad lol

[cunning fable]

anyone know why when i set the key to g, it auto resets back to backslash when i close out of notepad?

correct me if im wrong but i thought that notepad autosaves when closed

[proven rose]

You should probably save anyways

Because usually it just keeps a temporary copy to edit later, or just doesn't lol

Either way, it not saving the changes and you're not saving sounds like probably the problem

[cunning fable]

when i do save tho, i try to go to the mods section (where the actual mod for it is located) and it isnt there

i aint that good w notepad or stuff like that so

[loud pivot]

the sound encryption is super weird, I noticed they did that when I was trying to go through all of the SFX for a map and I wanted to listen without having to spawn & edit a sound emitter

instead if you want to hear all the various church bell sfx, you have to change it and wait like 8 minutes for the bells and then change it again and wait and repeat lmao

[sick blade]

Does anyone know of a good lowboy mod ( similar to the rogers 50t) for the t series

Thank you

[crude halo]

yea 2 ported version is difference tho so.........

why not make it identical....

[hard prairie]

I was testing it out 🤣.

Here it is with textures, though the hood mesh needs some work and I need to create a jbeam stack for the new hardware.

[lusty bridge]

hi everyone

well made BMW E36 mod

[ocean mauve]

this isn't google

[proven rose]

Also programmed the Abarth final drive to handle it better, and finally gave it some sporty tires so it won't burnout lol

I did mess up a teeny bit on this run but you can see me being liberal on the brakes as sometimes i'm doing side wheelies lmao

This is primarily intended for the pigeon, but I did include wigeon configuration since they share the same engine

[proven rose]

The livery if you couldn't tell is inspired by the actual Spider

Although I should make an actual three tone configuration for the red line

[crude halo]

how to fix transmission and driveshaft disappeared?

[proven rose]

After using vanilla race pigeon I just felt like it needed a peppier engine lol

[proven rose]

Check the engine JBEAM has that slot

And there exists at least one part for it

[crude halo]

engine from common folder and modifided jbeams

how to fix that

every part i renamed it

[proven rose]

Cursed cabrio edit lol

At least I edited the jbeam, the faces there are for the windows

I need to fix the materials but it's not AWFUL

just cursed and probably better way to do lol

Had to be realistic

[crude halo]

Bastion Engine is in common folder and i edited all the jbeams to accomodated in the model

i edited the muffler and it required to do so

[crude halo]

and i fixed what i done is revert the engine and change the exhaust

[dense gate]

what maps would yall suggest

[hard prairie]

For?....

[proven rose]

found out exactly why

Blender renamed pigeon_main to pigeon_main.001

the design is very human

someone mind helping me find a mod (or the mod which this is part of)? it was a miku race(sortof) livery for the k-series (it was colorable and all that), it was on my old drive, which also means it's from a couple of updates ago. iirc the number is 666

Looks like a start

[hard prairie]

Is essej818 by chance? The low boy trailer needs updated 🤣

[dawn tiger]

Better lighting

[proven rose]

How... Awful would it be to make JBEAM from decimating the mesh?

Like decimate a part to super blocky low poly mesh, and export it as JBEAM, lol

using the blender jbeam editor

Also, one other thing

With the blender jbeam editor, making JBEAM is much easier

But, I need help with the "deform" and "damper" and all the other settings

How do you know what to make beam settings at?

Obviously if everything is the same I assume crashing is unrealistic

[dawn tiger]

"enginebaycrap" lol

love it

Wasn't there a thing in blender that like, automatically joined things?

like you gave it two things and it would create a mesh between the two

not like edge/face creation

like connecting a pipe here

i could technically do it the better way i just feel like that was a thing lol

oh merge, yes

is there beamng radiator like this

or modify a intercooler

Gavril Face

Gavril Edge, but ford edge already a thing

[hard prairie]

Can anyone tell me why my "race" engine is taking priority over the original? The Jbeam and header have a different name.

Ope, think I figured it out.

I have multiple mods in with the "Race Engine" header, and one is taking priority over the new one I think. That would affect the default, as the old files name isn't different than the default.

[proven rose]

woohoo, first mod uploaded

well, waiting for approval lol. we'll see if it does

[crude halo]

how to fix this texture?

i meant floorpan texture not appear

[proven rose]

kinda awful scintilla to covet exhaust job

mostly bridge edge loops + some cleanup lol

sleeper i guess

[hard prairie]

Compounds, here we come

[dawn tiger]

Use a curve and give it a bevel in the curve settings to make pipes then convert to mesh

[hard prairie]

I wonder how Automation handles compounds.... If both turbos can be controlled.... 🤔

[crude halo]

how can i fix?

[dawn tiger]

In blender check your normals if its blue it will show in beam if its red it wont if its red go into edit mode and click shift n or alt n to flip the normals

[crude halo]

how to check is it bule or not

[dawn tiger]

click face orientation

[marble grail]

yall know if theres a mod to put 533's on the t series?

[proven rose]

What part is expecting this?

[dawn tiger]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/t-series-drivetrain-expansion.95904/#post-1666587 This adds some offroad tires

[proven rose]

I assume it's why the engine isn't transfering to the drivetrain

[dawn tiger]

Did you add the transmissions from the engine your using?

[marble grail]

i dont want that. i just want 533's on the t series

[proven rose]

I added the transaxle

But not the transfercase

I assume that's why?

[dawn tiger]

Probably

[dawn tiger]

So you want offroad style tires but not offroad tires lol make some sense bro

[marble grail]

i said 533's. those are snowflake type rims

aint even a bro smh my head

[crude halo]

it's all blue @dawn tiger

[dawn tiger]

bro isnt a gender term maam or unicorn whatever you are and 533's are tires thasts the closest your gonna get

[marble grail]

its for my career mode t series i use for hauling 20 1.7 ton packages at a time

[marble grail]

i want a rim type. not a tire type

[crude halo]

but when toggle mesh analysis

[dawn tiger]

Hmmm thats odd

[marble grail]

wether slicks, heavy duty or offroad. me want 533's

[crude halo]

when i done the non panoramic interior it's all appeared in game incl floor itself

Wtf is a 533 rim cause on google they dont exist

[marble grail]

533 clockwise

type it into the beamng rim search bar

Even with the race tires it doesn't stop burning out until sixth gear lmao

[plucky light]

What was the point of the response😭😭

[dawn tiger]

What was the point of yours in the first place you came into modding discussion and said we needed something. So that means you want someone to make it. I said you can make it and start making mods if you aren't here for anything but to suggest mods no one is going to do then make them yourself. Why do people have to be so dumb. I wasnt saying you asked me.

[hard prairie]

Heck yeah!

[dawn tiger]

Riviera progress

[plucky light]

This channel is labeled modding discussion, I said something that I think would be cool, to discuss it. I wasn’t asking anyone to make it for me, just because you think something doesn’t make it true. I don’t think it’s a problem of people being dumb, you just think you are more important than you are.

[opaque falcon]

just now thinking

[dawn tiger]

I legit said to make it and you got pissy bro. Im saying make the mod. What dont you get about that.

[opaque falcon]

Should I make the frame entirely custom

[dawn tiger]

I would for the v10

[opaque falcon]

Completely ditch the moonhawk frame and body

And only reuse some asset

[dawn tiger]

I mean body idk but frame definitly

[opaque falcon]

And I'm starting to think I'm slowly progress from making mid engine mustang to ford gt

[dawn tiger]

Mid engine mustang would be cool what year

[plucky light]

Wasn’t the point of the statement😂 ian pissy bout it but I’m not making a mod lol

[opaque falcon]

That would be the original plan which is mid engine moonhawk

[dawn tiger]

Then what was the point of this statement then smart one i wasnt saying you asked me to make it i said to make one as a mod jesus christ some people

[opaque falcon]

And idea from b is for build

[proven rose]

What's a good place to get car models that have seperated parts already? Every good CSR2/Forza rip I find it's all one mesh or combined into random unusable groups lol

[dawn tiger]

b is for build is awesome

[opaque falcon]

Ya

[plucky light]

I already said the point fym

[crude halo]

you have to seperated it yourself p.s. my 300c mod as current wip is from The Crew/Forza

[dawn tiger]

Well relistically most places dont unless you get em from sketchfab or something or buy the models cause most games use combined models

[crude halo]

Agree.

[dawn tiger]

Bro i don't think you comprehend your own messages. because you said, and i quote, "i wasnt asking you dawg", which wasn't me telling you to make it yourself because i don't want to, i was telling you to make a damn mod. Jesus Christ get a grip and learn how to read don't join a channel about modding if your 1 not asking people to make a mod or 2 gonna make the mod yourself if its already not a mod then your asking for someone to make it. Jesu7s Christ a hydrogen engine isn't something hard to make just make a custom fuel type and add it to an engine and change the torque values of the engine to match a hydrogen engine. Im telling you to start modding fvck wtf don't you understand.

[plucky light]

I ain readin allat

[dawn tiger]

Lol. Can't read got it. Or type for that matter

[plucky light]

Whatever you say big guy

[proven rose]

i keep thinking to put semi engine in d-series but that has to already be a thing lol

[wicked egret]

does beamng have an exposure mod?

I'm trying to get a shot from underneath the car, and you cannot see shit

rip kirbyguy's old mod, been broken for a whole 2 years

[dawn tiger]

Here's the code for hydrogen fuel and engine specs. Do with it what you please.

[plucky light]

Doubt I’ll figure out how to mod for it but dope shit preciate it

[dawn tiger]

Id look up what that means when its red like tyhat in the view your in

[dawn tiger]

What car you want it for?

[crude halo]

even me i still confused

[plucky light]

Like what original beamng car? I just thought it would be cool cause I’m pretty sure they blow up when fuel tank is broken

[dawn tiger]

Yea that's a little harder to add but give me a bit and I'll make something work

[plucky light]

Shit man I didn’t know you were about that but I’ll happily buy your mod when it releases, prolly donate extra too

Sorry for being a dick earlier you’re a cool dude

I bet if you made a liquid hydrogen engine for the lore friendly version of your buick Rivera, it might get really popular considering I haven’t seen anything like it, and people are usually looking something different and unique when it comes to beam mods

[crude halo]

weiredly lower half fixed upper half again?

Sidenote : Panoramic interior is from forza

non panoramic interior from the crew still fine.

[crude halo]

great news

after fixing

[crude halo]

question is which vanilla cars have wood trim interior? just curious

[hard prairie]

Testing time....

Long road ahead

Need to move the small turbo to a high position

[spring wigeon]

Any way to make tires that will take 100 PSI without popping?

[proven rose]

How do you know which beamDeform, beamSpring, etc. values to use?

I understand JBEAM can't all be the same value because that looks unrealistic

So how do you know what is the correct settings to use for sections?

[dawn tiger]

You guess Pretty much lol, And tune from there

[hard prairie]

Thats better....

[dawn tiger]

Hydrogen Fuel Tank

[grand crag]

From my experience, 3601000 beamSpring, 360 beamDamp, and 21000 beamDeform if you're making crushable elements like the front upper shock tower frame(like two main lower engine frames usually located around the middle)
if the area needs reinforcement because the area falls apart on its own when driving normally / too weak in a crash, turn up the value of beamDeform!
If you feel the area is too wiggly when you're driving, I suggest 7201000 beamSpring, 720 beamdamp, 42000, or 112000(higher for crash reinforcement, turn down if needed) beamdeform setup!

[dawn tiger]

Beam deform only changes how much force it takes to permanently deform a beam not deform in general so it does nothing for support

[grand crag]

Yeah! It's useful for controlling the behavior of bend modes, but usually not too useful in terms of normal driving
-# It's only if beamDeform is like only 1000 when it starts to affect driving by falling apart on its own…

[dawn tiger]

Hydrogen explosion is a bit wip lol

[grand crag]

Also, one thing to note! due to simplified characteristics of the BeamNG Physics engine, the node attached to beams with very-spring prone value properties would completely noclip on its own when in a crash, so be sure to at least keep 1000000 spring to 100 damp ratio to prevent the nodes from being prone to noclipping through everything! if the node still noclips through a wall, turn up the value of beamDamp as high as you could until you meet the sweet spot!(you can still use 0 damping on nodes with no collisions by the way)

[crude halo]

is that ford pinto flashback?

[dawn tiger]

Lol pinto/greemlin type fuel take lol

[crude halo]

my 300c wip

retexture

[dawn tiger]

Hell yea i want a good 300c so bad if you ever want help with the mod im glad to help work on it

[crude halo]

if not counting 3rd party i am trying to do.

by borrowing material from another beamng car

and one main issue from other game ported is Steering Wheels

because all in the other game ported is SRT8 Ones but i wanted the Non SRT8 Style Steering Wheels

i was checked in the US Catalogue (2013 to be exact) is 2 style of The Steering Wheels is non SRT and SRT

and yea i borrow parts from bastion too.

[dawn tiger]

send me a good couple pics of the steering wheel and ill model it for ya

[crude halo]

it is same one as in LANCIA Thema ones

@dawn tiger yea Panoramic Ones from Forza to be exactly and Slicktop from The Crew

[dawn tiger]

Ill work on making one for ya

[crude halo]

ok.

[hard prairie]

Gotta put new nodes in for the stack now. Maybe my existing ones can be moved

[bright drum]

i dare somebody to make a V10 engine for the T-Series

[crude halo]

SRT Interior WIP

[opaque falcon]

old muscle car

[crude halo]

Now Button Time

[plucky light]

That’s awesome, excited for that

[crude halo]

sorry for not relocate it perfectly this is first time to relocate texture

[hard prairie]

I'm going to have to cut the rest of the hoods for stacks now 🤣

[proven rose]

Can BeamNG use armature?

I have a car model that just uses a bunch of dummy origins constrained to the parts so they move from the correct spot

[thick niche]

noo

[dawn tiger]

IS it a gta model lol

[proven rose]

forza model but i find the origin of the actual mesh is fine anyways

the higher quality "forzavista" one

[drowsy leaf]

This would be like asking if I could put civic pistons in a heavy duty truck engine

You need a jbeam and that jbeam is the hinge mechanism for openable parts

If it was as easy as model constraints openable parts would have been there from day 1

[hard prairie]

Bet it would run like those classic games. Cars just rotating around a single point in space 🤣

[dawn tiger]

OR the ones where the actual map rotates around the car lol

[proven rose]

learning that side scrollers just have the background move to the side while you are technically stationary lol

well, one kind, there are also ones where you just walk to the side

[stone sable]

gonna try my hand at modifying an automation mod and making it a full beamng mod fillman86 style

[tribal widget]

what are the best modded cars and where do i get them?

[cyan drum]

#mods-discussion message

[junior meadow]

The beamng repository is the best place

[junior meadow]

beamng.com/resourses/

[tribal widget]

Thanks

[marble grail]

i think a mod breaks the rlc career mode mod or whatever it was called

purchased a polonez (mod called fps trapez) and when i first repaired the car. the safefile completely broke

also the front axle of my polonez dissapeared

the game thinks i own no car on the file yet all my cars are still spawned in. also i cant purchase any cars either

[maiden blade]

how do i change jbeam files while in game?

[proven rose]

edit the text file and save it

file is automatically detected as edited and will be applied by reloading the map or going to another map

[dawn tiger]

All u have to do is control r to reload the car doesn't have anything to do with the map

[proven rose]

Ah I'm thinking of it like scenes in Unity lol sorry

Used to other game engines but yeah requires "reloading" either way

[maiden blade]

when i go to save it dosent wanna bc its compressed

[cyan drum]

well unpack the mod then

[maiden blade]

what are the key binds to see the beams and nodes

[cyan drum]

ctrl b and n/m

[proven rose]

ctrl T to see triangles/faces too

[dawn tiger]

Also ctl shift whatever key you hit to go back so you don't have to scroll through them all

[proven rose]

oh thats a godsend lol

all the beam debug modes are very handy except for in the case when you need to press B 50 times lol

[dawn tiger]

Well you can also access them in the vehicle config in the debug menu

[crude halo]

Maybe will you try to do scintilla V10 Swap tho.

[crude halo]

That process i revert to before i do the button due to remake the texture.

[hard prairie]

So that's the quick way to do that 🤣

[crude halo]

Is that wood similiar from ETK?

[foggy palm]

how do I make a custom transmission?

i wanna put a 3-speed automatic into the piccolina

do I have to model a new gearbox, or beamng cars use the same gearbox model

also how do add a shifter into it

i think I'm using the shifter from the bolide/nine since it looks universal

[hard prairie]

Gonna scrape the ground with this one

[crude halo]

how can i fix new center console not appeared.

while i change to standard Interior Center Console Selection appear when i choose SRT Interior it's not appeared

do you guys have how to fix?

[hard prairie]

Look around in freecam. Origin might need reset

[crude halo]

not works

another dashboard style it still not works on have the Center Console Selection Choice

[dawn tiger]

Check your flexbodies in blender to make sure they are the right name and that you applied all transforms and that they have the right group in the jbeam

[crude halo]

i copied seperate interior style one.

i meant i made 3 interior style

Standard, SRT and 300C Luxury/Thema

[weak bolt]

After creating a simple mod - is BeamNG just a glorified JSON parser?

[dawn tiger]

No lol Have you done any actual jbeam work other than renaming things?

[crude halo]

Thanks @dawn tiger to pointed me this flexboies both in blender and jbeam

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @dawn tiger (current: #24 - 91)

[dawn tiger]

Hell yea looks good

[weak bolt]

I mean... Jbeams are basically json++
I've added and moved objects using them, thankfully I didn't have to modify actual beam connections - it seem absurdly hard, seeing how many there are and that you need to know their names, it's not based on coordinates or smt.

[dawn tiger]

I mean its kinda based on coordinates you just gotta know where each node is. ther hardest part is actually making the structure not explode or fall apart

[weak bolt]

It more of a a joke though xD
Its crazy to see such a complex game being based on... json really, for very complex structures. Without advanced modyfing tools for it.

[dawn tiger]

yea better tools would be nice lol

[crude halo]

final problem to fix is SRT Steering Wheels not appear

[weak bolt]

Well - if it was based on an actual 3D modyfing tool, where you could easily create connections, and lists of connections. But for all I understood, you need to select each node and connect it with each node in the process

[dawn tiger]

Did you apply all transform on it by chance if so it wont work like that the origin needs to be in the center of the rotation

[dawn tiger]

There is a blender plugin for jbeam but iuts not fully up to snuff yet

[weak bolt]

or if the jbeam supported things like.. idk, grabbing sides as objects, or something

[weak bolt]

yeah, I guess it depends on the use, cause for mine it didn't help much. I was trying to double the amount of cargoboxes on a tilt deck. Loading the jbeams doesn't give you anything, because it doesn't load the actual boxes it is based on. Btw did I understood correctly, and such relations are specified only by name, and you don't need to specify correct directory, meaning you cannot have objects with the same name in the whole project at all, or anything?

[crude halo]

i apply all transform everything

[dawn tiger]

No you cant have multiple objects with the same name you can call on the same 3d mesh multiple times and scale it using the jbeam for like making smaller turo for anoither car or something so you can save on space and not have 10 different models at different sizes

[dawn tiger]

Well the origin of the wheel needs to be in the center of the back of the wheel so click object and set oprigin to geometry and try that

[weak bolt]

true, but it seems quite limiting. Also confusing as to finding mentioned objects.
And you cannot have the same item in the same slot twice, or it will go mach jesus

[dawn tiger]

Yea try that and then export it

[dawn tiger]

I mean thats kinda how all games work tho truthfully but yea things go wrong real quick if you mess up

[crude halo]

Origin to geo right?

[dawn tiger]

yea it may not be super accurate but u can fine tune it

[weak bolt]

nah, usually objects locations are mentioned by their directory

[dawn tiger]

The objects are just stored in a dae and the game can read all daes and if the object is there it will use it. its kinda easier than anything else

[weak bolt]

ar least in general programming, I ain't much of a modder.
but you wouldn't just import an object like so, you would just create a new instance of it, with custom name, and you could have as much of them as u wished

[dawn tiger]

You can if its a prop

[crude halo]

i use Vivace base for some model (the IONIQ 5 N) but when suspension i tried to swap it with Bastion ones turns out it's weirded so i paused that project tho.

[pearl cedar]

challenge accepted

[dawn tiger]

Why not keep the vivace suspension thos its pretty good suspension

[crude halo]

Yea i will changed in IONIQ Ones

But EV Motors i swapped to eSBR Units to accurate to real world counterparts

[crude halo]

@dawn tiger Vivace Motors i guess cant tuned front and rear to be 609 horsepower like in IRL IONIQ5 N

[dawn tiger]

Well i mean you can if you edit the engine in the jbeam ato give it more power

[crude halo]

Make Sense. because IRL ones not having the FRUNK

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHY IT LIKE TRACTOR

but yeah i will fix the texture first due to not real enough.

[hard prairie]

Obviously I need to learn how to do UV and material mapping

[dawn tiger]

Hahahahaha tractor mode engage and its because the origin is off some or the nodes its using arent correct

[crude halo]

i check nodes of steering wheels jbeam location not appeared

oh i see

hmmmm ["steering", "300c_SRT_steer", "int_strw","dshl","dsh", {"x":0, "y":90, "z":0}, {"x":0, "y":0, "z":1}, {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, -1000, 1000, 0, 1],

[dawn tiger]

Yea the 3 nodees are the ones it uses as reference to move

[crude halo]

the main Graphical Problem ones of MID

SRT8 Interior Reference of MIDs

[dawn tiger]

Riviera/Map update

[crude halo]

because in Original Bastion Fuel gauge is in MID (after 2015 Facelift) but real 300 Series (before Redesign Interior of 2015 Model year it's like in SRT8)

@dawn tiger in both game ported version is pre MY15
