[crude halo]

or should i swap from Bastion units?

because Bastion units is 2015 upwards to 2023

[dawn tiger]

Id do bastion stuff and just move it you can make the stuff go anywhere u want

[crude halo]

ah ok i'm thinking about that way too.

did you all noticed this?

Beam Navigator works

[dawn tiger]

Heck yea i love using html materials i made screens that play youtube videos with em

[crude halo]

so i'll edit jbeam to use original speedometer too.

last morning in today i edited bastion transmission to fits 300 Series (PRND) (Original Bastion trans is PRNDSM)

[crude halo]

[undone locust]

Im not sure if this goes here but how can i duplicate a part (spoiler) and change its downforce vallues

[rough iris]

Do you have any folder structure ready or are you starting from zero

[undone locust]

i have no clue what that means
Its a spoiler from a mod

[rough iris]

Ok this means you have to create your own mod and then copy over the spoiler to edit it

[undone locust]

Are the files encrypted with like 500 different apps i need to use because my SSD is already suffering

[rough iris]

If you go to your repo mods folder, go one back and into unpacked, there make a new folder with you mod's name. In that a folder called "vehicles", and then a folder with the car's internal name

[undone locust]

Im also gonna copy the front splitter to make the values even out, it should basically be the same process as the spoiler right?

[rough iris]

No, you can use any windows editor or notepad++

[rough iris]

Yes

Which car are working with?

[undone locust]

How convenient
Also, you can edit the downforce vallues right?

[undone locust]

The Scintilla

[rough iris]

In a way yes, you can edit the values for air friction of surfaces, which should increase downforce

[rough iris]

Ok I don't know the scintilla's internal name rn, but you can find that out by going in the parts selector and choosing "display internal name" (or somethinglike that)

Then it shows you all the part's names, which have the car's internal name at the front

it's called scintilla or supercar or something

If you have that, find your vehicles folder (should be found by going back 2 folders from the repo folder if I remember right), in there are all the cars in zip files, which use said internal name

[undone locust]

Can i add the config to the mod too, so that if someone were to want the mod they could use the car too?

[rough iris]

Yea but that's basically your last step of making the mod

[undone locust]

Splendid, although the config also uses other repo mods for the parts and i dont think i can use those in my mod at all

[rough iris]

You can nake the config use parts of other mods, but when you load it you just need to have those mods or it will have missing parts

[rough iris]

In this zip, there should be a [car name]_bumper_F.jbeam and a [car name]_wing_jbeam. Might be calles a bit different though

Copy these in your mod, in the car name's folder. Then open them, change the intern part name at the very top, the "name" (which is the ingame name), and then at the bottom, there is a section for triangles, which lists every surface of the part. At the top of those should be a line saying dragcoefficient or something. Increase that number and you should have more downforce if you install that new part

[undone locust]

Isint that breaking the rules (using other people's mods without their permission)

[rough iris]

Not really if you need that mod for it to work, but I suggest only sharing your mod to friends privately to avoid problems

[undone locust]

Yeah, i figured so

[rough iris]

But I got to go now, thats why I just spat out everything at once. But feel free to ask here again if, maybe other people will help

[undone locust]

Also, if i remove configs from a mod in the files, will it freak out once it needs to update?

[rough iris]

No but it will be overwritten if the mod gets updated by the creator

[undone locust]

Im almost home, ill get to doing that soon, thanks for the help tho

[lyric cedar]

[ocean mauve]

Using parts from other mods in a config, is not 'using' other people's mods, as none of their work is actually included in your mod

Asking permission never hurts but generally you don't really need to, just list them as optional/required mods for users to download alongside your mod, with links to those mods

[undone locust]

Whar

[undone locust]

The config in question would be this one i made for the Scintilla, the only vanilla pars are the wheels, tires and maybe the front fenders and exhaust, the other mods are basically a must 💀

[ocean mauve]

Yeah that'd be fine, just link those other mods if you share your mod publicly. Though if users have to download like 10 mods to get the config to work, that might be a bit much 🙃

[undone locust]

I dont even know if anyone likes the car, its really goofy

[undone locust]

Wait wouldkt that also add a lot of drag

[undone locust]

Wait a minuteeeeeee

doesent that alsooo mean i can take any spoiler

hypothetically i can take a smaller spoiler and make it just as if not more effective than the big one

[hollow zinc]

i try mod skin

i think easy

it no easy

[undone locust]

erm i cant find that, i needeth help

[livid oasis]

One day, I may create a huge 32x32km Aussie map! It would be half Outback, and half country (half of that flat and half of that mountainous) It would have a dual carriageway highway (based off the Hume Highway), and several single carriageway highways, roads, and dirt roads and trails, and there will be three towns (two in the country part, and one in the outback part). There would also be a couple of rivers, and some lakes and creeks. The map will be landlocked with no coastline.

But don't get too exited, as there is no guarantee I'll do it.

[undone locust]

good luck

these are close enough

[undone locust]

i have found the thing

why would it be drag and not the lift coefficient

[undone locust]

it does not work bwomp

[undone locust]

@ocean mauve can you help with this?

[ocean mauve]

Not rn

[crude halo]

is that SCINTILLA Hill climb version?

why it is goofy like Real ESCUDO Pikes Peak hmmmmm......

[undone locust]

yesnt

[fiery adder]

might it be worth including more detail about what you're looking for?

[cloud grotto]

First attempt at modding. Here's what I dub the Barstow TrackSport 500. It's a front and rear redesign of the Barstow

[frank cove]

Car? Map? Something else? What are you looking for?

[sour dew]

Sorry, should’ve been way more specific, a car

[sour dew]

Yea I forgot, just woke up really

[fiery adder]

What type of vehicle?

Like a track car, family saloon there’s a lot of factors

[drowsy leaf]

budget?

as in is it a budget between 7k-14k eur

[sour dew]

Just a regular vehicle, our server I based on going fast on the highway, but we would want a normal traffic car, but with some extra stuff like cool engine swaps

Ugh I guess the owner of the server told me the wrong thing, he used poor wording

He want someone to finish a mod we paid for, since we pretty much got ripped off. We have full rights to the mod

Guy said he could do a mod, then midway through told us he didn’t know how to do a ton of stuff

[fiery adder]

What state is it in?

[sour dew]

Outside is textured, interior is mostly textured, internals not so much, drives like absolute garbage, and the original person is trying to avoid working on it

If you have questions about the car itself please reach me via DM since we haven’t announced it to our community yet

[sour dew]

Like what car it is and stuff, and images

[fiery adder]

Fair, I’m asking more on behalf of anyone interested, giving a fair bit of detail let’s people know what they’re getting into before bothering you with messages

[sour dew]

Yea

All we need is a fix, I thought the owner of the server I manage wanted an entire new car

[fiery adder]

Alright

[fiery adder]

Lichi getting cheaper 😔

[hard prairie]

That thing is pretty neat... Like a Falcon fastback and a Nova had a baby 🤣

[rough iris]

yes, the value behind "liftCoef" that is currently 165. if you increase this, you will have more downforce

[rough iris]

can you select the spoilers in the parts menu?

[undone locust]

so like, i got it to work

sorta, the spoiler was scuffed because i edited the wrong vallue, but also it replaced the default spoiler

how do i make it so that i can keep both?

[rough iris]

you probably missed to rename the spoiler at the top of the file

[mellow cipher]

yo guys

[rough iris]

the first like sayes the intern part name, if you don't change it, you will overwrite the original

[mellow cipher]

where is the beam ng drive vanila vehicles at?

[rough iris]

in steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles

in there every zip is one vehicle, but they use intern names, so some older ones are hard to recognize

[undone locust]

replaced the .jbeam file name and the internal name too

[undone locust]

i still couldnt find the zip files for the cars, i just went in the mod that adds the spoiler and got the .jbeam from there

also ignore the changed author it should be CRGZ i thought changing it would help

[rough iris]

oh yea forgot to say that, if the spoiler you are editing os from another mod, then it will not be in the game files

[rough iris]

also since I am now at my pc, this is where they would have been

[undone locust]

yeah i figured

[cloud grotto]

Some people said it looks like a weird buick skylark. 😂

[undone locust]

wait do did i do it properly

[hard prairie]

That's fair 🤣

[undone locust]

am i suposed to rename this too?

[dry quarry]

You can

[undone locust]

@rough iris, the spoiler shows up but it replaces the original

[rough iris]

for example, put _agressive behind this

and you should change this too, but that's only so you know which one is which

[undone locust]

also how to stop spoiler from snapping

[rough iris]

when driving fast?

[undone locust]

yeah

downforce is yes

[rough iris]

then you might have over done it lol

[undone locust]

but it snaps, its too weak

nah its fine trust

doubled the downforce

[rough iris]

but you can try to go to the beams section and increase beamSpring and beamStrength

[undone locust]

I did, and i also realised im not using that so doesent matter lol

like this?

[rough iris]

the devs would have added it at the back but both works

[undone locust]

wowie thats a lot of numbers, what do

double every number and see what works 😎

[rough iris]

increase this, maybe try 151000 instead. should make the connections 1,5x stiffer

[rough iris]

might break stuff but trial and error is the key

[undone locust]

do i do that with every beamSpring?

[rough iris]

probably, but you can read what the sections do

maybe some are unrelated

[undone locust]

time to play a guessing game to see what does what

oh hey i found it

i think

[rough iris]

and if this beamstrenght has a number, you could increatse that too

[undone locust]

erm whats an aero normal

[rough iris]

beam strenght is the force required to break connections, and beamspring is stiffness, aka how flexible it is

[rough iris]

good question. if we don't understand it don't touch it

[undone locust]

True

[undone locust]

So just make every number bigger 😎

[rough iris]

must be something important

[undone locust]

i wouldnt want my spoiler to bend at 470kmh

(slightly sub-optimal)

[rough iris]

but if you make the umber too big, everything might implode upon spawn, or jitter slightly, since all the numbers must roughly fit together

[undone locust]

also how does one make car steer more, steering gets progressivley worse with speed but can i make it so that it doesent get affected that much

maybe my suspension is just bad, i feel like the GT3 config has better handling

[rough iris]

either you lack front grip, or you have the settings put to decrease steering angle at high speed too much

[undone locust]

time to add stupidly strong aero to the front splitter!

[undone locust]

i have all assists turned off

[rough iris]

so the wheel is at full angle but you go forwards?

[undone locust]

not really its turning, but less

understeer-ish

[rough iris]

yea probably lack of front grip

or more so ratio of front to rear downforce

if you make only one extreme, then you have either oversteer or understeer

I would assume

[undone locust]

the front end after i add 5 tons of downforce to the rear

woohoo it worked

theyre now no longer duplicated

thats awesome, thanks

what does the bot do

[cyan drum]

be annoying

[undone locust]

do i have to edit the vallues of these too

LMAO it makes sparks

yeah i think it worked

its still bendy, might have to beefen up the metal parts too

but i dont think ill go 490kmh anytime soon so thats not a huge issue

[rough iris]

don't think so, only if you want their effect to be stronger, which I think is mainly keeping you straight

[rough iris]

something is telling me that the downforce is strong

[undone locust]

well yeah the suspension is as stiff as can be but it still bottoms out and scrapes the ground

[undone locust]

i feel like downforce allone is already enough tho? wouldnt making their effect higher make handling worse?

Also the splitter is from the game, where do i find that?

the .jbeam

[rough iris]

steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles. in there is a scintilla.zip, which should have that splitter in it somewhere

found it, in there its the scintilla_bigsplitter.jbeam

[undone locust]

erm where is the content folder

[rough iris]

in the file, there are 3 parts, first the two side supports and then the splitter itself, you can delete the part of the side ones if you don't plan on changing them

[rough iris]

you might have multiple beamng and steam folders

at least I do

[undone locust]

wait

[rough iris]

this is whereever you installed steam

not where you installed beamng

[undone locust]

okay it turns out i cannot read

[rough iris]

can relate

[undone locust]

lol

how many bug repors toes it take you to make this?

theres another one in the vehickles folder 😭

[undone locust]

do i have to delete the 2 parts or can i just leave it like that

[rough iris]

you can leave them, but then you are overwriting the vanilla ones with identical ones. so should the game ever update and change anything, it would overwrite it with the old one. also it's cleaner and less file size

but in practice it does not matter much

[undone locust]

Oh also is there a way to add more nitro inside the bottles?

[rough iris]

yes, you can copy the jbeam for the nitrous and increase the volume as you wish

[hard prairie]

Source files from the game core, but only put mods in the dedicated mods folder.

Easiest way is to use the button in the UI.

[undone locust]

Why yes i think 4500HP is perfectly reasonable trust me

[undone locust]

500000 million liters of nitrous

i wont actually do that but itd be funny

[rough iris]

most realistic mod ever created

[undone locust]

Why did no one tell me i misspelt aggressive

[rough iris]

if you want realism, you could make it ut in the model twice to have twin bottles

[undone locust]

Me: no i wont make the exhaust exit out of the top of the rear fenders, that would blow straight into the spoiler creating turbulent air!
also me:

Right around 5000hp 🤣

[undone locust]

Some BeamNG dev on a random day getting tired of the 1930824735th bug report

[rough iris]

most people that do this just ingore folder names and read "vehicles". their mod is a vehicle so in it goes

[undone locust]

gah damn why is it green

also i dont think ive removed anything important, i hope?

[rough iris]

you removed exactally the half you wanted to keep lmao. you have left and right splitter, but not the main center one

[undone locust]

false, i removed what i didint want

but i missed a comma or something

text changes collor, very bad

Rah i despise coding because one time i wrote '' instead of " and it messed the whole thing up

and yes those are 2 different things aparently

[rough iris]

probably somewhere where it all changes color, I'll take a look

[undone locust]

fixed it

was suposed to keep this

[rough iris]

ah yes

[undone locust]

I can promise you that itll get me killed

Cuz i made it so that it kicks in by itself on 5th gear above 6k RPM, ill just forget about it and randomly get 1000 extra HP and explode

[rough iris]

sounds very safe

[undone locust]

The entire car has P/W ratio well above 2 i think the nitro will be the least of your worries

i think its above 3 actually

Its changed

does it have to match or is it fine as long as it doesent have the same name as the original?

[rough iris]

yea just can't have the name of something already existing

[undone locust]

Not related to Beam but how do i stop this

eh i can work arround that

no clue what this does

i dont think ill touch it

[hard prairie]

Me, over here casually learning languages because no one makes what I need:

[trail jungle]

hello, im new to beamng modding, it started by fixing the textures on etkw, now im working on another mod, just wanted to ask, is it possible to add torque multiplier to engine ecu, that could be based on the exhaust particle modifier?

[undone locust]

Have fun o7

and no im not lying '' and " are different things aparently

[hard prairie]

So far, I've dabbled in c, c++, c#, Java, PHP, and python 🤣

Not to mention the bastardized hybrid that is JBEAM

[undone locust]

more well thats a lot more than ive had

[trail jungle]

or is there a list somewhere with all the possible "variables" that can be used?
i tried looking at beamng website but my eyes couldnt catch one

[hard prairie]

And Lua, of course. Which is kind of python like

I started on the transbrake 2 step last night but I can't get twoStepLaunch to detect the transbrake electrics

I may need an import on the engine file 🤔

[undone locust]

where do i find the nitro bottle jbeam?

[hard prairie]

Probably in common

[undone locust]

where is that

Well 1 issue @rough iris , the whole front splitter is gone

[rough iris]

if you can't install it, then you messed up with some comma or something

[undone locust]

even the default one is gone somehow?

[hard prairie]

$BEAMNG/content/vehicles/common

[rough iris]

in the same place as the other vanilla parts, called scintilla_n2o.jbeam or something

[undone locust]

one issue

where JBEAM

[rough iris]

probably in the scintilla.zip, but the models for it are here in common

[undone locust]

i should try adding the 2 bits back

[rough iris]

you could look at the original, and how it transitions between the parts in the file and how it ends, you probably messed up some formatting there

[undone locust]

yeah i think i messed something up 💀

[hard prairie]

Ah ha.... dragTimer has the code I need 🤣

[undone locust]

so, is the vallue here the ammount of nitro in the bottle?

[hard prairie]

No

[undone locust]

damn

where is it

[hard prairie]

Give me one second

[undone locust]

wait i found it

i think

[rough iris]

yes, change both of these to like 10x

[hard prairie]

That's it

[undone locust]

splendid

[hard prairie]

Those values are in KG, so convert that back if you want a realistic value

[undone locust]

those just change the nitro ammount not the weight right

wait the bottle wont implode if i give it like 10x its usual ammount

[hard prairie]

Try it. It shouldn't!

[undone locust]

Flimsy NOS bottle after i add 10,912.66% more NOS to it

[undone locust]

the front splitter is still gone?

[rough iris]

can you send over the file again? maybe I can find what's wrong

[rough iris]

isn't this the vanilla one?

[undone locust]

its not

[rough iris]

is it the same name as the vanilla?

[undone locust]

wait did i forget that

this should work

18x9 All-Terrain tires 👍

Finally the "all terrain" ETK800 can actually be all terrain lol

It uses sport tires, too low to the ground and has no "offroad" mode (technically you can use ESC and TC off)

[hard prairie]

I need to figure out how to keep my slicks from exploding at 230

[proven rose]

you kinda see it in the deo volente car but at more extreme speeds

tires in beamng seem to gradually expand with speed but some tires do it more

[hard prairie]

The semi truck tires are good for well over 300 🤣

Super bus, even more.

Maybe I should look back into that.

Traction control has a bunch of options...

I should be able to put the 2 step rev limiter on a slider, yeah?

[dawn tiger]

The rpm? if so yea

[hard prairie]

I'll have to set that up on my engine mod. I also need to reconfigure the two-step controller so it'll take brake input as well as trans brake

there is one that will be released, #1242571182490779728

[pastel iron]

It always seemed like a shame to me that BeamNG never had motorcycles with decent handling. I just tested out all the plausible ones I could find and they all have severe death wobble issues and general floppiness and instability. Using L-beams and slide nodes on the front fork I've managed to make a stiff and well damped motorcycle. I've gone as fast as 250 where my wheel was exploding without issues and can turn with 60° lean at high speed. The only problem is that I'm forced to use ancient hubwheels with their very crude traction model. I cannot figure out how to make a pressure wheel that can lean at 60° without the tread lifting and a dramatic loss of traction. Hubwheels maintain traction even when they've rotated onto the tire geometry’s edge. I was wondering if anyone would like to point me at mod with pressure wheels like this or could tell me the key to configuring them?

[bronze shard]

not really many people go deep into tyre/wheel stuff. beam has a pretty poor tyre handling system for cars, bikes are always going to be even further behind in proper handling. you might have to do something outside of just simple value editing etc to get anywhere. might have to consult with one of the guys working on a mod for different tyre handling, there have been a few over the years

[pastel iron]

Okay, thanks. It didn't occur to me that there were mods that reworked the tires. Things would be different if I could model my own wheels by hand but the complex friction parameters aren't available for regular colliders. Also, I'm pretty sure that the wheels and tires use some kind of specialized simulation so if you modelled your own it would be unstable or too heavy.

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @bronze shard (current: #121 - 26)

[bronze shard]

"rework" is perhaps a strong word, but yeah. getting too heavy is a real issue due to the limitations of the current jbeam system. you tried the outlaw(?) motorbike mod?

[pastel iron]

I have not. I'm taking a look at it but not finding anything but the cursory kofi page off the bat.

[bronze shard]

there is a thread here in the showcase forum, author is pretty active. might be worth poking them about it?

[pastel iron]

I'm hesitant to bother them because I feel like if they had solved the things I'm interested in they would make sure and mention it in the description. There are a number of motorcycles that are totally adequate for cruising. They just tend to have low top speed and not provide anything close to the level of dynamics fidelity that good BeamNG cars have. Thanks for the tip and I will dig around a bit.

[bronze shard]

i flick through the thread occasionally, some technical stuff pops up every now and again. seems far less arcadey than the other options from what ive seen. good luck with it, would love to see better bike mods as i have quite a few irl

Is there any mod that just replaces the no texture texture with some green or moss like texture? That it fits to most trees and terrains and isnt bright orange?

[proven rose]

this should be stored internally somewhere... probably in the common folder?

or other core folder. it should be replaced with yes material

yes you have a material. no texture

yep, found it

go to beamng game directory, you find "gameengine.zip"

in core\art there is the missing placeholder textures

you can probably replace these but should not delete them. othersise missing textures and materials will probably be a big issue

[clear oasis]

Okay thanks!

[undone locust]

Ok so the mod thing didnt really work, the NOS bottles and splitter still replace the original, and the spoiler reaaaaaaaaaaly likes to wiggle
(@rough iris i needeth thou help again)

i did everything as far as i know, i could give you the files to see if something is wrong

if thats okay

[hollow fiber]

Are there any mods for modern dry van trailers? Like the ones with skirts or like car haulers?

[rough iris]

hold on, I didn't tell you to rename the Jbeam files did I?

[undone locust]

i renamed the files on the inside, not the actual jbeam file?

[rough iris]

yea if they are nemed the same as the original and are at the same place within the vehicles folder, the whole thing will replace

[rough iris]

yes

[undone locust]

i see, how to stop the spoiler from shaking so much?

also im not sure if downforce is bad or the wheels, it still doesent steer as much as the other configs

can i buff the grip by finding the tire jbeam?

[dense jungle]

there is 1 euro trailer mod on the forums somewhere i believe

[undone locust]

changed name

[rough iris]

if it shakes without the car moving, then adjust the beamDamp, probably less is better

if it shakes while dirving fast, further adjust the beam stiffniss, or add more beams yourself to connect it better (press ctrl + N ingame to see node names)

[undone locust]

slightly changing without moving, but its really shaking at speed

and a lot on some maps, but i think thats just the air

[rough iris]

yes, but they are in common.zip, not scintilla.zip. (common is a zip where every car can take stuff from)

[undone locust]

what should i change to make the spoiler less jiggly but still bendy

if that makes sense

at speed because of all the forces on the spoiler it twists a bit, like from the drag and whatnot, i like that
but not when it starts to danace 💀

[undone locust]

ok yeah doing this did work

also you were right about the downforce imballance, i did a top speed run without the front splitter cuz it was bugged

and like, at speed the front tires were almost lifted off the ground, the whole car gained a lot of clearance

Does making a mod with a file that one of the base game cars have take power over the base game file? for example when I wish to increase the max spring rate on the BX race coilover suspension? (sorry, I don't know how to word this question properly)

[upper pumice]

I-Beam in beamng, not textured yet (if anyone wants to have fun texturing then dm me!)

[undone locust]

are these the correct ones?

thats best i could find

yeah looks like it

mason what do the numbers mean!!

where grip vallues

[cyan drum]

noLoadCoef is what you're looking for

[undone locust]

splendid

wrong image

[cyan drum]

lma

[undone locust]

higher number = more grip?

[cyan drum]

yeah

[undone locust]

what about these

i thought that was grip

[cyan drum]

I don't touch tamper with those minus treadCoef if needed

documentation comes handy

[undone locust]

i have no clue what any of them do 😎

[undone locust]

speaking of what do the tires have to do with HZ

[cyan drum]

uhh

I don't think I can word an explanation to that

[undone locust]

Ok so

@rough iris i changed the tires, surprisingly first try with no errors

apart from the car accidentally doing a wheelie but whoops

However i did test that the spoiler starts to shake when you go above 50-60kmh

and up to 170-190, arround 200+ KMH it stops

its not like, breaking off the car, i dont see any damage but its just shaking

[undone locust]

do you know which one is the downforce one

liftCoef is all downforce but which one is for the main part

[ocean token]

Is there anyone who can modify a mod for me?

Or know of anyone who can?
I've tried myself but manage to break things

[wicked moat]

after 7 hours i've finished editing my car (i made it in automation)
i've added 2 mods (one of them i wrote my self)
adaptive brake light (flashing brake light) which took me 7 hours to figure out ;-;
and while figuring it out, i have added the "throttle surge" mod (which i made :D), when turning ignition on the throttle is 1 (100%) and then goes back to 0

[young zenith]

how to i make materials and textures

like normals,color maps etc

[proven rose]

Managed to rip engine sounds from mercedes website lol

Probably can chop them up a little into samples

[undone locust]

Although i could lower spoiler downforce, make it more beefy although ill need @rough iris to elaborate again i dont know what vallues i need more to edit and increase undertray downforce

More downforce, closer to center of mass = more stable as well as less problems, horaay

[undone locust]

I lowered beam damper although it doesent look to have done a whole lot

[open lark]

Sorry for the question, but where can I find the 3D to put the texture because I'm new to editing. I appreciate anyone who can help.

[upper pumice]

texturing complete!

[proven rose]

defintley something i don't get here

what is the topspeedlimit measured in?

[cyan drum]

m/s

[proven rose]

oh that's cursed lol

[cyan drum]

beamng uses SI units for jbeam

[proven rose]

why not use kmh then lol

[cyan drum]

because SI units use m/s, not km/h

[dawn tiger]

Or you can do your max speed in kmh/3.6 and that will make it into m/s "topSpeedLimit":209.9988/3.6, = 58.333

[lethal swift]

How the fuck does one fix load boxes

I’ve been trying to add load variables into InteractCargoContainers and I think that somehow made it worse

tomorow i make more sizes

[snow stratus]

what do these funny color textures mean? its labeled as defuse but idk where it gets applied in world editor

[abstract mango]

that's a normalmap

[snow stratus]

i dont know what those do

[dense jungle]

It adds the depth to the surface its on

Like the lines in the d series bed look like theyre 3d right

But it’s the normal map of the texture giving it that illusion of 3d, it’s only noticeable when you get up close

[pastel iron]

Hey, I just wanted to come back to say that I really appreciate you informing me of Shaxei’s motorcycle. It turns out that a pre-release version is already available so I just got it and answered my own questions. When you first mentioned it I assumed it was an old abandoned mod but in reality all the information about it is on discord and I had missed it. The rider animation system is quite fun and impressive with features like coming to a stop and leaning on one leg. It has massively better handling than the other motorcycle mods I found. I modified it so that I could directly control the steering angle instead of setting a target lean angle for the controller and it was still very easy to control. It already uses a clever slidenode setup for the front fork with reinforcement to the frame similar to what I came up with. It doesn't seem to use any L-beams. I think that the suspension ought to be a lot stiffer so I intend to quickly add some L-beams and see if it sharpens up the handling. It is able to do extremely steep lean angles. But this is through traction that is over four times higher than what is required for a stoppie. with more realistic traction the low speed stability is terrible and it suffers from the same loss of traction and stability as the outside edge of the tread lifts off the ground.

[bronze shard]

no worries dude, hope you have fun with it. discord is pretty unsearchable haha, doesnt help at all. defo post about it in that discord thread if your edits improve it

[pastel iron]

I'm having fun with it. I will at least congratulate the author.

what base should i use?

[ocean mauve]

If you wanna do things properly, make your own. If you can't, start with making smaller jbeam projects until you can

[young zenith]

Maybe the scintilla

[crude halo]

Solstice is Front Engine RWD

[young zenith]

fair

the 200bx?

[crude halo]

i'll try

[neon magnet]

you should get the model down first man

please ctrl + e and mark sharp those corners

[slate egret]

is world of mods safe?

[young zenith]

nope

not even close

[slate egret]

so any better site than modland?

[young zenith]

Beamng.com

forum

[slate egret]

alright thank you

[ocean mauve]

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

[ocean mauve]

Not really true, it's mostly safe - as in, the chances for getting a virus or so are not as big as people make it out to be. Main problem is just that the mods are often super low quality meshslaps, or stolen/leaked

[slate egret]

so i found an engine mod where do i add it i only have vechicles mods

[ocean mauve]

In your mods folder, just like any other mod

[slate egret]

oh okay

[young zenith]

Yeah one keylogger away from getting your steam acc stolen

[ocean mauve]

Sure it's possible, but not nearly as common as you seem to think

[slate egret]

@ocean mauve i got two folders inside mods one is vechicles one is repo where should i put the engines?

[ocean mauve]

If you do use such sites, just don't click weird stuff and run the mods through a virus scanner

[ocean mauve]

Doesn't matter, the subfolders are just for organizing (repo is where mods from the in-game mods repository go)

They can also just go straight into the mods folder, instead of in a subfolder

[slate egret]

alright thanks for all the help

Can anyone here help me? im new to modding and im trying make a custom part for the lansdale out of the existing gambler 500 bumper. Dm me for more details if u can help.. i edited the 3d model of the bumper in blender and exported it. Now when i open the game the lansdale is gone and the debug says this

[charred seal]

Someone knows where is the code for these speed camera messages? All i know that it uses onBeamNGTrigger.lua

[ocean mauve]

You are probably somehow overwriting vanilla files, check this tutorial from 19:55 to see how to make custom parts properly
https://youtu.be/nNqsS5a9XVM?si=iRtdsSywTGDG-atX&t=1195

[gloomy skiff]

does it have to be in a mod folder? or could i put it into the vanilla files?

[ocean mauve]

All edits should be in the mods folder, separate from the vanilla game files, and not overwrite the vanilla files in any way (just because they are in a different location, doesn't mean they can't overwrite vanilla files)

[gloomy skiff]

okay thank you, how do i restore the file i overwrited

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve (current: #2 - 351)

[ocean mauve]

Did you edit the Lansdale files directly? If so, delete lansdale.zip from your game files/content/vehicles/, then use Steam to verify game files, after checking the files it will redownload the vanilla lansdale.zip
https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

[gloomy skiff]

Okay will do. Yes i copied the Lansdale files and unzipped it, then i made my edits. and uploaded my Dae in. and zipped it. Then overwrote the vanilla lansdale file with it. This is my first try making something

[quick crow]

never do this, always copy whatever you edit into a new mod and change all the names so they are different to the vanilla one. i suggest you always make a new mod inside the mods/unpacked folder. To add something to the lansdale for example this would be:
/mods/unpacked/lansdaleMod/vehicles/lansdale/modfile.jbeam

^ lansdaleMod and modfile can be anything you want, as long as it isnt something that is the same as in vanilla. Usually i recommend adding your name or initials.
You also need to rename the part inside the jbeam file

also this belongs here: https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/710083442834145280

I would guess if you dont that it will probably be approved on monday.
No mods are approved on the weekend and i think the most usually get approved on monday/tuesday

its meant i cant directly copy from etk and put it straight in right?

This should be leather from ETK800 but if you see the place of wood trim it shouldn't be chrome (upper section not chrome decor like SRT8 Dashboard)

No, but I'll add that to the list of things to fix!

For now I'm not quite sure how you'd go about doing that, for cars you add a population line in the info_configname.json files, but it seems for trailer they put it in the the generic info.json instead, with the population set to 0...?

The eu trailer already has that, but I guess you could try adding it in the info_configname.json files too. Line isjson "Population":10000,, higher number = more common

[dawn tiger]

There is a wj one sec. I'll find the link

[uncut basin]

im trying it know do i need to make a account

Got warned for sending the damn link to a guys free mod that's stupid as shit

[dawn tiger]

Not that I know of

ramp.exe has stopped working...?

[uncut basin]

i got the link before it got deleted its good

[wheat harbor]

if your talking XJ then there was the ibishu blackfoot however it is very old outdated and has no texture on the internal mirrors but surprisingly still works for the time

One of my buddies got permission to redo it so it should be coming soon

what map are you making ?

[wheat harbor]

Paradise city

[uncut basin]

is that alot of work to do ?

[wheat harbor]

it's a revamp of a port that i had permission for

[wheat harbor]

it took a week to fix textures on this part of the map alone

as you can see there is still very much texture issues on the second part

[sour dew]

Is this burnout

[uncut basin]

dang i want to try and model and make a custom car is this hard ?

[wheat harbor]

[sour dew]

Someone is working on an xj mod right now

[sour dew]

So I’m just curious, why did you decide to do your own port and not get permission and edit the current port?

[wheat harbor]

i didn't

[sour dew]

I know, I’m saying why port it again when you could’ve done that

Not like saying it’s a bad thing I’m just curious why

[wheat harbor]

I used someone's port in which they were working on, but they couldn't anymore since he basically retired from modding but was happy to let me continue working on the map.

[sour dew]

Oh okay

[sour dew]

It be like that

original porter is @latent ivy

No lol its was modsfire i dont fvck with modland links like i cans traight up upload zip files in here and nuke someone pc but cant send a mod link

[sour dew]

Lmao yea

funfact: this burnout map is from modland, there's a reason i'm fixing it because the textures were so broken

any one ever make manual rear locking hubs for a d-series

[dawn tiger]

Just look how the front work and make the rear do the same

[wheat harbor]

"The Gavril D-series has been delivered to your junkyard"

[loud pivot]

frankly, most of the carnivals and fairs I've been to have had messed up lighting just like this! Might be more realistic that way, lol

[dawn tiger]

true lol

[wheat harbor]

i did a lil wrecked screen

[dawn tiger]

Is that in game or

[wheat harbor]

nah edited, do plan to try and make some kind of ui tho

[dawn tiger]

Hell yea I think the NFS map has one look at it

[hard badger]

if im making a mod, should i use the jbeam files from another car or should i start from scratch?

[proven rose]

depends

it is good to have a refrence to start but you shouldn't do what the term is "meshslap"

as in, just taking unmodified exisiting JBEAM and putting your mesh over it, leading to inaccurate collison

if you use existing JBEAM, try to conform it better to your model

[gloomy skiff]

So far, ive made a custom offroad front bumper. cut rear quarter panels, cut front fenders, a rear roll pan, and bigger skid plate. Still struggling with the textures tho. anyone have any other ideas?

[dawn tiger]

fual fender exit echaust

[gloomy skiff]

Bet, ill try to figure it out. Im having a real hard time with these textures

[dawn tiger]

Yea materials suck lol

[quartz stag]

Released a new force feedback mod, trying to get some better feel of what the rear of the car is doing, amongst other things. Id really appreciate some input on it 🙂

Yo when is the mod moderation? been waiting since friday

[ocean mauve]

Mod approvals don't happen on weekends, BeamNG team doesn't work 24/7 ;)

Todays approvals started about an hour ago

[crude halo]

How can i make it grand coupe?

[dense jungle]

Shorten the front and back or extend the rear window and pillars

And perhaps extend the back up a bit

[crude halo]

that's 2 Series but what model i reference in RWD Forms is 8 Series

@dense jungle yea i meant this

[dense jungle]

In that case, extend the front

And make the roof reach more towards the back

And maybe lower it slightly

[crude halo]

i was thinking about how can i use ETKC Front Ends

[ocean mauve]

Grand coupe doesn't mean much, it is just BMW trying to find a way to call a 4-door car a "coupe"

[dense jungle]

Thats a mod isnt it?

[crude halo]

Quick Draft about what i meant

[dense jungle]

Idk about using other mod parts for personal use but you’d need permission if you were to release it

[crude halo]

i meant ETKC Facia and Lowering the roof

oh if i don't do that ETKC Facia Swap so yea i'd do it from ETK 800

[hard acorn]

how do i install mods?

[dense jungle]

Don’t worry I’ve only been waiting from the first of the month

Mine have the buttons like “subscribe” and all that but idk I think my app is glitched, non of them have a single download, and it says they released they day I sent them in, which just isn’t true

If someone could test for me that would be a amazing https://www.beamng.com/resources/kormoran-pl-rally.33172/

[tough epoch]

Anyone able to make a car mod for me for free? It's of a blue 2011 mitsubishi lancer cj it's my first car and it would be cool to have it in game dm me for reference pics

[ocean mauve]

No offense but no one will do that for free

Making an entire car mod takes months when done properly

[crude halo]

Even my Ongoing Project Pontiac SOLSTICE yes even i am making the model is good but when it comes to jbeam i'm learning about that.

[proven rose]

How can you apply transforms on a DAE without messsing up the origin?

I just want a rotating part to have the correct origin and also its 0, 0, 0 to be correct

but when i apply transformation it moves the origin to the wrong spot and makes it rotate all incorrect

fixed by doing "apply transformation to deltas" instead

and fixing incorrect transformation in props override

[vital folio]

Anyone knows how to get the best Touristenfahrten experience in BeamNG? I use the Nurburgring map mod with AgentY's simplified realistic traffic. But it still only spawns regular cars and trucks/buses. Anyway to spawn tuned street cars + some supercars, and not driving at 20 kmph but trying to go a bit fast?

[tough epoch]

Yeah that's fair I'm not expecting anyone to do it js thought I'd try my luck

[sour dew]

I’d assume to just rotate its, then set the move axis to 0,0,0

[dawn tiger]

This is just a feature in beam now tho?

[sour dew]

Is it?

[dawn tiger]

Yea just turn on dynamic vehicle mirros

[sour dew]

Oh never knew

[dawn tiger]

Do you play on ultra? Cause if so it's already on?

[sour dew]

No I don’t

I play on normal

Are you sure it’s a thing I’ve never seen digital mirrors ingame

[dawn tiger]

Yes lol it's dynamic vehicle mirros options right under dynamic reflections I use it all the time

[sour dew]

Are you sure you’re not thinking of detailed mirrors

The link I sent displays mirrors in third person

Like American truck sim

[thick niche]

when you gonna let me have that caprice

I neeeed it

[dawn tiger]

The link you sent says it let you see your own vehicle in mirror reflections which is what detailed mirrors does

[dawn tiger]

What Caprice lol

[crude moon]

I think detailed mirrors are for vanilla cars

Atleast that's what I read

[dawn tiger]

Well it's for any car if you make a good mod lol

[dawn tiger]

Oh it's codename old fullsize and codename old fullsize brougham mod I have just been redoing it slowly lol

[thick niche]

oh

[dawn tiger]

It's from on of the of beam devs a long time ago

[thick niche]

agenty wasn't it

[dawn tiger]

No gabster

Agent y I think is redoing it but I've never seen anything actually done on it just that he's redoing it

[hard sedge]

Does anyone offer modding support?

[ocean mauve]

That's what this channel is for yeah, what do you need help with specifically?

[hard sedge]

i add this to my mods folder and it does not work in the game... inside of the folder is this... [Does not work]

[ocean mauve]

Mods should be .zip's, not folders

Make sure not to unpack them

[dawn tiger]

Or make a folder called unpacked and put it in there

[ocean mauve]

Well yeah but that's not really recommended unless you wanna edit the mod easily

[hard sedge]

so it should be like this?

[ocean mauve]

Yes

[dawn tiger]

Yea delete the unpacked one tho

[hard sedge]

Yea ofc, thanks guys ill let you know if it worked

[dawn tiger]

Makes the mods load faster too

[ocean mauve]

Negligible difference, not really good advice to give to people that are new to installing mods imo

[hard sedge]

That still did not work

[ocean mauve]

The file structure is 0.34/mods/hellcat.zip/vehicles/etc.?

[cyan drum]

the packing is likely wrong, yeah

[hard sedge]

Wait it worked but the vehcile does not show up in the vehicles list

[cyan drum]

I pack from the "vehicles" folder, not from the mod name's one

[dawn tiger]

Lol not negligible there's a reason I do it lol and not giving it as advice I'm just telling you

[ocean mauve]

(And if you're unsure how to do that exactly, you could also just redownload the original mod zip and toss that in the mods folder)

[hard sedge]

So this meaning .zip this ?

[ocean mauve]

All 3 together

[tough epoch]

does anyone know of an actual good holden commodore mod pack?

[dawn tiger]

Unzip it again and highlight them all and add to ZIP and name the zip hellcat

[hard sedge]

Ok that worked but i will be removing it xD 😂 Worst thing ive ever seen xD. Thanks for the help matey

thanks @dawn tiger

Lol yw there's a free hellcat mod from overtime performance it takes forever to load cause it's a huge mod but it isn't terrible

[hard sedge]

Im only looking at how to even do mods lol ive had the game for ages and never used mods. also with vehicle mods are these the only 2 folders that come with them?

[dawn tiger]

I'm not sure what that mod is but if u open the vehicle folder it will say the name of the car

[dawn tiger]

Oh I read that wrong but there can be more folders it just depends on what all the mod adds

[hard sedge]

Oh ok no problem thanks very much pal

[white star]

anybody got a car trailer mod that could carry a widebody charger?

[ashen lagoon]

ddoes anyone know a good lambo mod not on modlandd

or anything like those sites

[dawn tiger]

@ocean mauve Hey sorry for the ping but didn't you make an iridescent paint mod. Maybe you could lend a hand?

[wild grotto]

yeah i tried doing this with the iridescent nod but i couldnt seem to get that yellow finish

[dawn tiger]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/lamborghini-aventador-revamp.83992/

[ashen lagoon]

:OOO

[wild grotto]

this is the furthest i got

[wild grotto]

i got the base of the color i want, but i cant get the yellow neon finish

[dawn tiger]

Yea i dont even know his mod works lol i just saw it once and was like wow this impressive

[wild grotto]

maybe im just stupid and im not using the mod correctly idk

[ocean mauve]

Yeah there's a little explanation in the mod discription
https://www.beamng.com/resources/pearlescent-iridescent-paint.30638/

"How does it work?
I'm using custom mipmaps, which are basically the lower quality versions of the texture. Usually they are simply the same texture, but lower resolution, so as you get further away, a lower quality texture gets loaded.
In my case, since I made custom ones, it means a completely different texture is loaded when you get further away. I'm using this to apply the 3 different paint slots, by using the texture with customs mipmaps as a colorPaletteMap."

[wild grotto]

since youre the creator and you know the mod best, is there probably a way to do that through this mod?

[ashen lagoon]

this one didnt loadd in my game for some reason

[ocean mauve]

Well yeah, just use a lighter colour for the highlight :P

[wild grotto]

yeah i was trying to do that with selecting a yellow ish colour for the highlight, but i didnt work as i wanted
tho ill check it again tomorrow, anyways thanks then!

Everything on modland is a reupload lol unless its uploaded by the crator specifically i upload mine so its easier to get em taken down by modlan

[latent ivy]

[pallid swallow]

Hey guys, stupid beginner question - trying to edit a vehicle jbeam to convert it from RWD to FWD and I'm trying to understand how the powertrain functions work

As in like how does the engine power go from part to part in the jbeam, how does it know where the 'power' is coming from? If I have a differential, how does it know it's getting power from the transmission/driveshaft?

[sour dew]

Yea I gotcha, all though I will say I have never leaked a thing, but at the same time that’s exactly what leakers say lmao

[dawn tiger]

True lol i had my sub mod leaked a few times. Got it taken down but still lol I thought about making it expensive so leakers would have to really wanna leak it lol

[sour dew]

It sure is a shame people do that stuff

[dawn tiger]

That's siiiiickkl

[sour dew]

Got I wish I had the brain power to make car mods

[sour dew]

Have you made anything prior to these? Never seen anything like em

[ebon linden]

Its a remaster of my old Moonhawk nascar stock car mod I made years ago

I've made two other stock car mods as well

[sour dew]

Nice

There ain’t enough good muscle car mods

Especially for beamng cars

[sour dew]

Old muscle, I should say

[dawn tiger]

No there is like 600 hellcats lol

[sour dew]

I’ve never counted hellcats as muscle cars, sure they’re classified as it but I don’t count em lol

But yea idk why they keep making more and more mods of em

[ebon linden]

Its a "Muscle car"

[sour dew]

All of the uhh “popular mopar”

[sour dew]

Yea looks amazing, especially the engine and gauges

[ebon linden]

Very Raw unfinished model

[sour dew]

Even though it’s a stock car, to me it’s still a muscle car in my mind

[sour dew]

Even still, looks great

[ebon linden]

Its a race car dressed as a muscle car lol

Whatever, looks great and I look forward to it
