[livid oasis]

I live in a hilly, mountainous area, so the roads are windy and fun with tighter corners, not boring highways with long straights and sweeping corners

[dawn tiger]

Look up how to use irl terrain data in beam ng

[livid oasis]

I will

[crude halo]

after trying with etkc

[near estuary]

I learnt my lesson today

There is so much crap and viruses on midland

also is that a rx8

[torpid topaz]

@plush ruin this channel works

[rain spoke]

looking good imma try finishing my mod with the bx front for pessima

[crude halo]

@near estuary yea current WIP of my Solstice/Sky

@rain spoke Ground Effect Kit Name is from Pontiac

Reuse of ETKs Part

[crude halo]

and yea how to fix in pic?

[lethal solar]

Anyone got any cars I can download?

[dense jungle]

Pinned messages

[lethal solar]

Bet. Thanks

[latent ivy]

what is everyones opinion on a new spark mod?

its still in development

[crude halo]

Fail Moments.

[barren magnet]

did you ask permission to use this jbeam?

[crude halo]

i modifided from original didnt use that repo ones

[ocean mauve]

etkc is the internal name of the k-series :P (c = coupe)

[barren magnet]

thank you for the clarification, i thought they were using vibes c series

[thick niche]

what car model is that?

[crude halo]

Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky (aka GM Kappa Platform)

this time i have to figure it out of rear wheel issues.

[thick niche]

why do wheels keep poping off? did you move the rear suspension?

[crude halo]

yep

[thick niche]

how did you move it?

if you just move it in the body jbeam by using node offset, you won't have to move each piece individually.

Just find suspension_R and put node offset

[crude halo]

ah ok.

[crude halo]

how can i do that?

[thick niche]

gimme one sec

[crude halo]

because i move the rear suspension in blender too. (by the way if you moved it in blender you still need to move the node offset too right?)

[thick niche]

you don't need to move them in blender

you shouldn't be moving any suspension jbeams in blender if your unexperienced

[crude halo]

yea i move it to original places

@thick niche i moved it like the original

when i removed node offset the unibody appeared

@thick niche how can i fix?

[dawn tiger]

Bruh quit pinging people thats why i stopped trying to help

[crude halo]

ah sorry.

because i am curous why when i moved rear suspension to be closed to the body and suddenly disappeared

[thick niche]

then you've done something wrong in that line of code.

[dawn tiger]

start over with the supsension for the rear and then use the node offset

[crude halo]

what i used is etkc_body

i'll copied another one and lets see because i backup the original

same results.

[thick niche]

sorry i am at work now, unable to help.

[ocean mauve]

Post the jbeam in here, might have a typo somewhere

[dry quarry]

How do i properly reinforce the wheels so they dont twist from torque when engaging launch control?

It happens even on vanilla vehicles

[dawn tiger]

Wym twist?

[crude halo]

maybe i can give you whole of this to check what's wrong.

[dry quarry]

So when you engage lc alot of pressure builds up on the rear wheels causing the hubs (i think) to twist, so the whole wheels with the brakes is turning a few degrees

[dawn tiger]

You would need to add a lot more support beams and up the beam strength. But i mean in real life this would also happen you just bend the axles tho

[dry quarry]

It either squats or pushes thru the brakes but it shouldnt twist the whole suspension, also with some vanilla vehicles the car rocks a bit on its wheels when coming to a stop, but ill try and see if adding additional support beams does anything

[crude halo]

that's funny.

[hard prairie]

Finally got the slicks stable....

And fixed the rear brakes 🤣

[ocean mauve]

You might wanna make the tire jbeam wider, right now only the inner half of the tire seems to have collisions

[hard prairie]

It's highly unstable if I go any wider than that.

[crude halo]

One funny things That i attempted is Moving the rear suspension same location as Fuel Tank (blame General Motors)

[hard prairie]

Could be too springy I suppose, but the truck jumps all over the place. It's quite entertaining

[crude halo]

Stubby Bob popped up in my head

[hard prairie]

That's fair, and now I have another project idea. Darn it 🤣

[crude halo]

This time on Beamkill all of this great in the back of this.......

[hard prairie]

Not surprisingly, it's already been done 🤣

But not with the ramp truck body 👀

[crude halo]

Wait to see it Wheelie.

[hard prairie]

This one used to wheelie. Not sure what I changed 🤣

[fluid hedge]

this is suck a stupid thing...

[dawn tiger]

What is it lol

[fluid hedge]

some sort of kei car sports pidgeon thing. at this point idek

[dawn tiger]

Oh hell yeah pidgeon frame?

[fluid hedge]

yeah

and some parts off the wigeon

[dawn tiger]

Nice when's the release date

[fluid hedge]

no idea

[dawn tiger]

Damn I think it would be fun to drive around I like those odd little kei cars

[fluid hedge]

yh they are fun. It will mostly be based off the pidgeon 4 wheeler though. Will make the I3 make the 64hp and such

might make like stupid configs eventually, like a cup car and some sort of rediculas bodykit

[dawn tiger]

Lol hell yea make a group 5 config

[fluid hedge]

o god

fuck it lets just stick f1 shit onto it and call it a day

though I need a name. At the minute its just called the "Nogeon" but i want something better. any ideas?

[dawn tiger]

Hmmm are you goi8ng with the ibishu brand in game?

[fluid hedge]

most likely, it is based off their platform afterall

[dawn tiger]

Nimbus

[fluid hedge]

sounds good

[cold pewter]

potentially

[ashen lagoon]

Any good suv mods on beamng from forums? Also I should only get mods from forums right? If so should I get a lot or not that many?

[dawn tiger]

Yes,Yes, and you can have quite a lot but at some point you may have mods that react with eachother and break things so its good to install mods and make sure everything works before installing another one

[rough edge]

can anyone reccomend any muscle car mods (charger/challenger, mustang, camaro, or any other American muscle cars) paid or free, all years

[ocean mauve]

If you're looking for something specific, try googling site:beamng.com and then whatever you're looking for, it will only show results from the official site :)

[twilit wyvern]

let my know what do you think about this tail light (not ray traced, just textures)

[dry quarry]

How do i make a node for the pops and bangs for a car

[dry quarry]

Looks great

[wary cloak]

Hi, im trying to import a dae and putting a mesh, when i click colision visible mesh, theres no colision but when i go to blender and fuse all mesh into one when i import it appears a no mesh, any ideas? Also im going to sleep so i wont reply for some hours

[errant zealot]

does anyone know how to properly upload automation vehicles to a online beammp server hosting website so i can actually let other people use my vehicles in my server.

[dawn tiger]

just copy it from your mod folder and put it in the beam mp client resources folder for the server

[snow lotus]

oh hi

[dawn tiger]

wassu

[snow lotus]

wazza

[errant zealot]

yeah i did that and its a .car file without a info.jsn and its not showing up in the vehicle list on the server :(

[dawn tiger]

the cars zip file?

[errant zealot]

its not a zip file

[dawn tiger]

automation car mods for beam are zip files

[dawn tiger]

idk what that is but they arent for beam ill tell u that

[errant zealot]

could you please tell me how to get the zip file if you dont mind?

[dawn tiger]

you would have to open the car in automation and at the end of the vehicle customization page there is an export to beam ng button click it then find the zip file in ur moods folder

[errant zealot]

oh alright - thank you, i have a code for three months of youtube premium would you like it?

[dawn tiger]

No lol, also don't be saying stuff like that in here you will get muted for suspicious activity lol

[errant zealot]

oh laright sorry, have a good night

or day for where ever you are

[dawn tiger]

You too bro hope you get your cars in game

[crude halo]

From GT7?

[errant zealot]

danke

[cold pewter]

yes

[dawn tiger]

looks amazing

[crude halo]

Like it.

next part : Sky conversion part (front bumper done) then front hood

[livid prairie]

can some one help me add tire marks to my custom map plz

[distant talon]

i'm starting a mapping project with absolutely 0 prior experience, what could go wrong

[dawn tiger]

absolutely nothing you got this

[crude halo]

yea now i do sky conversion.

technically V8 4.4 from etkc fits

but since this is rocketship so 4 cylinder should be enough

[latent ivy]

i've got lore friendly names for those:
bruckell cyrus (saturn sky) and soliad meridian (pontiac solstice)

for performance models, bruckell cyrus sport (saturn sky red line) and soliad meridian s (pontiac solstice gxp)

[distant talon]

i'm determined to learn to make even a basic version of this goated road

one thing making it easier is that when i used to drive it 2 years ago the asphalt was brand new and perfect so no need to model bumps and holes lmao

and i also found lidar height data for it

i just have this one video of it but like look at that beautiful asphalt, and the scenery is ok too I guess

[crude halo]

noted : i used ETK K Series as Mechanical Parts and yea suspensions

[latent ivy]

cool!

[crude halo]

you forgot there's clownshoes version? (aka Solstice Coupe)

so i have to magically do coupe version myself

[rancid sable]

do you can do a fox in the game ?ß

[sour dew]

What

[proven rose]

A foxbody you mean?

[plucky needle]

Are they out yet?

[astral pike]

They’re in the file I posted 😭

[plucky needle]

ah i couldnt find them lol

[astral pike]

Landslide 5-Spokes

[plucky needle]

ah thanks

[barren nebula]

Greetings, drivers. I'm a graduate student and GA at Pratt University NYC in the MS, Information Experience Design program. We're using BeamNG.Drive as our driving simulator to allow our graduate design students to explore the possibilites for in-vehicle multimodal (digital, voice, haptic, and gesture) experiences. If you have any experience creating or modding the UI for interesting dashboard apps, I'd love to hear from you; any insights or experiences would be very appreciated. Feel free to PM. Thanks very much!

[bright drum]

hmmmm 🤨

something here doesnt feel right…

[barren nebula]

Me?

[bright drum]

yeah i dunno if i should trust or not.

[barren nebula]

Totally cool, I respect that. But I am a GA and this is a legit thing. Not sure how to gain trust, happy to do that. Just thought i'd ask the community about it.

[bright drum]

ah oki

[barren nebula]

Not here to steal ideas or anyone's work! Just looking for insights for our students. Up and up, I mean it.

Ask away.

Happy to share.

[bronze shard]

you will be hard pressed to get anyone legit to shoot you a dm. there are so many scammers in here on both sides lmao.
you might have better luck linking to similar existing examples that are on the repo so people have a rough idea of what you want, or messaging the authors of those directly. cold calls arent usually received super well though

[barren nebula]

I completely understand that, and also the scammer sentiment.

Thx for your response. I get it.

[bronze shard]

i do really mean both sides here, take care to look at anything you get sent. people yoink portfolios from others or claim they are someone else all the time

[barren nebula]

ahh. thank you. We are NOT into plagiarizing or stealing people's work at Pratt. That's expressly against our whole jam.

That's why I asked for insights - not looking for code or samples. Just...what's your experience, how did you get started in this?

Sorry for inviting some angst folks. not my purpose at all.

[dawn tiger]

If your looking for dashboard apps look at the hirochi ccf mod

[barren nebula]

We have some directions from the BeamNG tech team, just thought it might be cool to ask the community here. Didn't want to stir up probs.

We're looking for opportunities to introduce some dashboard mods that may help pedestrians, or safety, etc.

[bright drum]

useful tip.

DONT use modland. use the official BeamNG.drive mod repo instead

[barren nebula]

Q - is it all Angular or is there an oportunity to use Vue?

[dawn tiger]

well the ui uses vue i believe

[barren nebula]

We're working up an opporunity to have an iPad Mini with some Figma prototpyes set next to our dashboard (Logitech wheel) but I'd like it to be interactive if we can

We'll have the iPad Mini set up right next to the wheel for an in-dash experience...

Kinda like paper prototyping but with real touch controls...but it won't be connected. Still pretty powerful.

[bright drum]

well beamng isnt really meant for mobile devices

i would recommend using a computer instead

[misty onyx]

wataheck

[dawn tiger]

hes not talking about using the game on mobile

[bright drum]

ah

[barren nebula]

Yeah, the iPad won't be connected. We have a powerful computer and a 34" curved monitor and the logitech driving wheel and pedals. The iPad will be a satellite device on an arm to mimic an in-dash touchscreen. Not connected - but we can mirror

[bright drum]

makes sense

[barren nebula]

(Force feedback Logi wheel is crazy cool btw)

G920

We will mount the iPad Mini on an arm so that it's right next to the wheel. Figma prototypes with touch ability will allow us to mimic driver controls, and it isn't perfect.

But, it's a lab. 🙂

[bronze shard]

have you spoken with zeit yet? solid modder that did some dash stuff on the ccf, plus some other generally "advanced tech" stuff. not sure if he would be interested, but defo chuck him on the short list

[barren nebula]

Thx. Have not yet.

If anybody here is working in UX/UI you get the whole paper prototype thing...we do what we can.

Some of our designers aren't really that code savvy. We want to give them the opportunity to express ideas...but I also know that the software allows for mods.

So, want to give them the opportunity to really add an app that we can display in the dash in Beam

[bronze shard]

there might also be someone relevant from part of the team working on one of the audi mods, havent kept up with it. they were doing some pretty trick things to get "modern car stuff" working. probably a handful of others too, but not many

[barren nebula]

The BeamNG folks have been very generous with us so far

Great team

We're totally grassroots on this, appreciate the responses

Not even sure what the students will come up with yet. It's all open. Super exciting.

For example - what would a "deer alert crossing the road" UI app be like? Do we have an actual deer? What's the alert? Is it kids crossing the road? What about upcoming stop signs? What about alerts for fire (LA things)? etc

Students are interested in pushing boundaries on alerts.

[latent ivy]

Does anyone know of any Tesla Model X, Y, 3 or Cybertruck mod that actually looks like them

[bronze shard]

none worth using, a few people have released some crummy tesla mods over the years

[latent ivy]

Yeah I looked and they all looked fake but I see ones people have on Tiktok and it looks good

but dont want to download on sketchy sites

[barren nebula]

Is it cool if I ask what everyone is actually driving IRL? Or is that against the rules 😎

[bronze shard]

a lot of the "fun modern/future tech" stuff isnt performant in beam, zeit has spoken a few times about trying to get various things to work and needing to cut them due to requiring performance intensive stuff. if this goes forward, defo give the students a headsup about optimisation

[barren nebula]

Need to get in touch with this one

[bronze shard]

1978 60 series patrol (mid wheelbase). about the exact opposite of what you have been talking about, like... what is a collapsible steering column, yknow? tacho? also no

would have been cool to have someone this switched on for the coding part of the uni courses i did. instead we were taught in one language and examined online using an adjacent language. code worked on our pcs but not online lmao

[barren nebula]

par for the course, man.

I hate Javascript - Python friend now.

DatViz has never been better.

Remember a loooooooong while back taking 3 classes in - wait for it - freakin cobol.

#offtopic sorry

[barren nebula]

2011 Taco with 6 cyl and a 6 speed manual - offroad, Biltstein shocks, all that. Manual controls to do a clutchless start. Great truck. Never looking back. Upgraded rear leafsprings, front level kit.

[bronze shard]

https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1119943246194417664 is the audi mod i referred to btw, you might be able to filter that for vids/links and find some showcases of the tech stuff

[barren nebula]

And your truck is sick.

[ocean mauve]

There's a better showcase of it here
https://www.beamng.com/threads/audi-rs6-rs7-c8-4k-2020.90753/

[bronze shard]

cheers, dont mind yours either. tacos are pretty cool for a modern car. certainly hard to beat the classic patrols though, especially with a few small upgrades

[barren nebula]

Dropped (mildly) oversized TA-KO2s on her and it's a new truck.

[ocean mauve]

I believe the mod is pretty much canceled at this point, but it might be worth a shot to contact the person who posted the discord thread of it, they're the one that made all the fancy systems for it

And yeah Zeit might have some useful insights too

[bronze shard]

my dad runs ko2s in 33s on his patrol, i run 31s. good tyre. would happily run bigger but the cost and legal stuff would be a pain haha

[bronze shard]

yeah, pretty much my thoughts. might be interested, might not, but a solid starting point either way. beats the scammers lmao

[proven rose]

It's mostly Vue now

Angular is legacy but I belive can still be used for the time being. You should use Vue though for LTS

There already exists an Android app to drive cars using your phone (check the settings) as well as some apps that let you show gauges from the game on your phone'

You probably would be able to send information from the car's controller over the network or bluetooth to your devices to display info

I'd reccomend seeing how other tools do so to build your utility

Documentation on app creation can be found here
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/ui/app_creation/

[bronze shard]

i was under the impression that the app was no longer supported? yeah, there is some really cool stuff you can get communicated to/from the game. stuff like actual car dashes and wiper stalk support can be done too, that might interest the students

[wary cloak]

Any ideas to fix it?

[tired coyote]

Both are supported but currently angular is still the framework you're supposed to use for UI apps

You can use vue if you set an isVue flag in the info.json and export the module manually (aka add that to the Vue file responsible for that, beam doesn't do that automatically)

https://www.beamng.com/resources/sample-button-for-main-menu.32913/

This might also be interesting to you

2024 denali wip

[crude halo]

sky conversion parts progress

what if i use Forza Ported Solstice........

[lone junco]

can someone tell me what is some of the most realistic and pretty good mods

[dense jungle]

pins

[crude halo]

remade the chassis

[weak bolt]

Can you reuse the same object in a model at all?
I need to use 18 XL cargo boxes in a trailer and there are only 16 unique normally, so I thought if I split it into 3 slots then I can reuse them - but it still doesnt work.
Should I just include a clone of a cargo box in my mod, like adding a cargobox_xl_90_degrees_Z box or smt?

[crude halo]

it could be worse.

[dry quarry]

Whats with the fitment

[crude halo]

i was try to move the etk rear suspension last time and turns out Body Selection left the chat

[drowsy leaf]

i highly doubt that

[crude halo]

when it was my build with blueprint version yea it's works fine but when i ported erm...... not fine.

[rough edge]

I've seen other people use a mod that changes the supercharger sound, does anyone know where they got this

[wary cloak]

what is the best tutorial to importing custom 3d models?

[rough edge]

average Modland mod

[crude halo]

That's not from Modland I ported it from Forza (Older Version)

[rough edge]

it was a joke

[crude halo]

Ok I'd take it as a compliment

[rough edge]

modland mods are usually wonky

[crude halo]

Even I ported it myself it is wonky but I can't find good candidate of Solstice/SKY Port as base or should I make my own jbeam?

[wary cloak]

can anyone help me get some 3d models and the colisions on beamng?

[young scarab]

i want to make this but i have 0 experience modding in beamng, any tips on how to start?

[ocean mauve]

Either base the mod on another, already existing car, or start with smaller modding projects first

[young scarab]

isnt that the "meshlap" term?

[ocean mauve]

Depends on how you do it. If you keep the jbeam the same and slap on a different model, yes. But if you mix and match parts from different cars, modifying the jbeam to match your project, then no (imo)

The main difference from making it all from sratch would be that you have a base to work off. Scratch making jbeam stuff is a pain if you don't have prior experience

In any case I'd recommend the other option, starting with smaller project. For example some new parts for one of the vanilla cars

[young scarab]

yeah might try out the second option

i woud do some personal mods for my 200bx and prolly releas them to the public

[crude halo]

And what if modifided base jbeam to suits your model (example ETKC jbeam to Saturn Sky)

[young scarab]

btw how do jbeams work like, how you model them and where

[ocean mauve]

There is a lot of useful info on the official site, this entire section

Starting with this
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/

[young scarab]

damn

might read it out for some bumper modifications and stuff

(no shit the widebody on the 200bx triggers me as fuck

also the lug bumper thingies)

[ocean mauve]

As for how to make and edit them, the standard option will be in text form, as that is what a .jbeam file is. But there are tools to edit them in 3d, like the official Blender plugin
https://github.com/BeamNG/Blender-JBeam-Editor

[young scarab]

ooo thats nice

thanks ngl i thought beamng modding was hard but i see it isnt

[ocean mauve]

Personally I don't really like the plugin as it doesn't organise the .jbeam in any way, and for a lot stuff you still need to use text anyway

[young scarab]

mmm i guess others will like it

🤷

[ocean mauve]

I'd say it really depends on the project, simpler mods can be quick and easy to make yeah, and then you can work your way up from there, learning more as you go :)

[young scarab]

thanks!

[dense mica]

does anyone know if there has been a modded map of laguna seca made? doesn’t matter if it’s paid or not just want to know if it’s been done yet

[cyan drum]

pretty sure there is one

[dense mica]

do you know where I would be able to find it?

[cyan drum]

beamng forums

[dense mica]

i’ll give it a look, thank you!

[barren magnet]

didnt that get removed because it was a kunos port?

[cyan drum]

ah right

joever

[oak belfry]

is there a mod that allows you to change the fr, fl, rr, and rl tires individually?

[graceful echo]

so happy with it

[torpid topaz]

not really, some exists in proof of concept stage

[fringe pendant]

wondering i anyone else has had this issue with the Repo Tow Truck. Cant get the lift to wokr in a long bed. Part is selected but nothing appears

[sudden whale]

Do someone know why my realistic headlights mod looks like this? Do I have to increase my graphics?

[oak belfry]

such as?

[torpid topaz]

forgor

[wild nest]

ts pmo sm

[woeful river]

rear turbo swap the WORLD

if I actually wanted to pour a bit of effort into this mod, I could make the turbo have a jbeam and stuff but ehh

made it in 50 mins so pretty happy :3

vrum (on a mechanical point, this makes absolutely no sense, and I know that)

[crude halo]

Yea i like it.

If you made its way to repo i will downloaded it.

[spiral lake]

how do i install mods?

[sour dew]

of you were to make this, id suggest making it on the piccolina frame

since the engine is already rear

and it looks to have a beetle hood

[sour dew]

yea this makes 0 sense lmao

[copper wharf]

if im making info files for a config are the defaultpaintnames necessary? or can i just not use them

like can i just delete them and the colors from the .pc configs get used or smth?

[surreal shoal]

hey guys i am trying to use a mod https://www.beamng.com/resources/2015-hyundai-i30.16336/
but i keep crashing i tried on the raceway and the garage is there anyway to fix? i am trying to get this car working because i own it

[ocean mauve]

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

[crude halo]

should i unnecessary front end swap?

[ocean mauve]

Ah yes the weekly new project

[crude halo]

just planned but not do for now

because i didnt shaped it yet.

[woeful river]

Yeah lmfao, but it looks good from the back

I might release it onto the repo, might just make it so that the turbos are attached to the exhaust and not the engine tho

[graceful echo]

i forgot something in this image

the fancy police spoiler yes

[graceful echo]

i think i might make that livery a tad bigger

chevrons are sorted though

[drowsy leaf]

Yummy grime on my air filters ❤️

[drowsy leaf]

More like Daily

[graceful echo]

i love the look of all of this

just trying to think what else i could do in this 80s-90s livery style

[drowsy frost]

@graceful echo have you uploaded any of this to the repo or anything?

[foggy atlas]

is there a mod that seperates the camera when playing with a friend?

[graceful echo]

i fully intend to once ive made a fair amount. not much point of gatekeeping all of these since other people like police cars too!

i wanna explore adding new bits to the cars before i do a release of these

[drowsy frost]

I'm just wondering

I abandoned UK emergency services pack entirely because I lost interest. If I'm able to get it swapped over to your name would you want to upload it on that page instead?

Obviously don't have to haha, just figured it was worth asking you regardless. Your police stuff is much better than mine could ever be.

[graceful echo]

making emergency services stuff & getting it right is very difficult isn't it?

I understand why you lost interest, at least I have 0 pressure for me since I simply enjoy making police cars. I just have the deep knowledge of these cars in person, particurally the modern ones

you don't have to, very kind of you to offer. I do remember seeing your pack, somewhat inspired me to make my one eventually.

my only particular downfall at the moment is not knowing how to get stuff into the game properly. I have some great idea's for the vehicles in game but don't exactly know how to execute it. Modelling side is perfectly fine for me, just getting it into the game lol

[drowsy frost]

Haha, I suck with jbeam and modelling lol

Skins are my main thing as well as small part addons

[graceful echo]

Id love to learn how to do small addons for things. may just slightly bring the look i'm after!

I just think that the skins + little addons that are police related will just make em pop. Subie did something for me and its awesome.

[drowsy frost]

Send me a friend request and I may be able to help

No promises, I'm not the most talented lol

[graceful echo]

two brains are better than one

[drowsy frost]

Who said I had a brain

[graceful echo]

2 braincells then

[dreamy arrow]

both fighting for 3rd place

[tulip fog]

So how hard would it be to port a mod from Rigs of Rods to beamng since yk they both use jbeam

I haven't touched RoR since like 2012 but there some good mods there that you can't find for beam

[dawn tiger]

Well you would need to pretty much redo the whole thing other than the models

[rain spoke]

Man doing my pessima front end swap and nothing works 😭 @crude halo

Imma fix it tomorow

Will you try the ETKC fromt end swap?

[dawn tiger]

Well how old is it?

The definition of a meshslap.

[dawn tiger]

And dont have to be a jerk they are doing what they want to do?

[gusty cape]

i just said it was the definition of a meshslap, not telling them off

[dawn tiger]

Theres no reason to say it at all? Unless your tryna be an a$$.

[crude halo]

try to invert side parts to S15

[toxic spade]

Does anyone know why Beamng tells me my mods are old although I got them from the mod menu section in games

[dawn tiger]

Because the mod probably hasnt been updated in forever

[toxic spade]

Ah, I see, also I tried downloading the crown Vic mod and it didn’t work

[dawn tiger]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/98-11-ford-crown-victoria-v2-9-1-25-09-2024.84582/ This one?

hey guys i am trying to use a mod https://www.beamng.com/resources/2015-hyundai-i30.16336/
but i keep crashing i tried on the raceway and the garage is there anyway to fix? i am trying to get this car working because i own it

[crude halo]

Yea how can i find trunk? Because i use Ibishu BX as Base and when i find trunk it is Tailgate

[obsidian plinth]

can someone come vc and help me with mods?

[near estuary]

trunk is tailgate

also i want to try out modding but dont know where to start, what should i do

[crude halo]

problem is

S15 is Coupe But bx_body is liftgated (180SX)

[near estuary]

180sx is s13

I don’t know Jack shit about modding but isn’t there a coupe unibody

[crude halo]

there is (diana or something)

Ported from PC3 (Project Cars 3)

[near estuary]

Ah I see

So what should I do to start learning to mod

[bronze shard]

visit the documentation site, pick something small like parts of a bodykit to learn modelling/uvmapping and basic jbeaming

[near estuary]

Ah I see

Link?

[abstract mango]

No thank you

[graceful echo]

good morning chat, it's time to cook

[crude halo]

current project:

[opaque falcon]

Try making my own frame

[crude halo]

attempted to add node offset of etk engine swap

[opaque falcon]

Just node offset it

It doesn't have spinning stuffs

So should be very easy

[crude halo]

and disappeared the body selections

[opaque falcon]

Eh

What did you do in the code

[crude halo]

i just change ["bx_engine","bx_engine_i4_2.0", "Engine"], to ["etk_engine","etk_engine_v8_4.4", "Engine"], {"nodeOffset":{"x":0.0, "y":-0.01, "z":-0.0}}],

[opaque falcon]

Woo

You add an extra ]

["etk_engine","etk_engine_v8_4.4", "Engine", {"nodeOffset":{"x":0.0, "y":-0.01, "z":-0.0}}],

Should be like this

You should only have 1 pair of []

And you had 1 extra ]

[crude halo]

Thank you @opaque falcon

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @opaque falcon (current: #661 - 3)

[crude halo]

if i change nodeoffset if i want it down x y or z or minus?

[opaque falcon]

No problem

[opaque falcon]

You can refer in blender

Move the engine to the location you want

And check the xyz

Then just type it in the node offset

[crude halo]

so even ported and mirror positions (blame to exhaust located in Original BX)

[opaque falcon]

But don't keep transform

[crude halo]

oh how to added this engine swap to optional in bx engine?

[opaque falcon]

Simple don't

Make it a engine pack

So when you select the pack you can apply the node offset to all the etk engines

Like how ceep works

You can add another slot under engine or make a new slot call engines pack
Under that is engine, and you can choose between bx or etk engines pack

[crude halo]

if i made engine pack files example of slots {
"bx_engine_swap": {
"information":{
"authors":"Poppukorn",
"name":"Engine Pack",
"value":12000,
},
"slotType" : "bx_engine",
"slots": [
["type", "default", "description"],

["bx_engine_swap","bx_engine_swap", "Engine"]

[opaque falcon]

Yes

But I'll suggest you change the slot type from bx engine to others

Otherwise the original bx also have the options

And the bx_engine_swap just type bx_engine

So you can just use the normal bx engine file

No need to change the original engine files

[crude halo]

example

because this s15 you saw (aka ibishu s-series) is testbeds of swap

[opaque falcon]

"bx_engine_swap": {
"information":{
"authors":"Poppukorn",
"name":"Engine Pack",
"value":12000,
},
"slotType" : "s_series_engine",
"slots": [
["type", "default", "description"],
["bx_engine","bx_engine", "Engine"]

Like this

If the s series engine slot is this name

You can refer to classic engine expansion pack codes

I highly suggest you to refer to others mod creators code

But need to give credit

[crude halo]

thank you to give me the guideline of how to do engine swap

[opaque falcon]

👍

[crude halo]

rear suspension can do the same things right?

example i use bastion and wanted to use etk suspension to better quality of driving.

[opaque falcon]

Yes

But the nodes need to be the correct ones

Or you gonna get very shaky

Or worst implode

[crude halo]

reminded me when i did messed up in my 300c ported (refer to change whole configs of engine to do 3 litre v6 diesel 2xx ps)

[opaque falcon]

kinda work

[crude halo]

this is what happended when i add node offset in front suspension of etk

[crude halo]

is that another forms of Ariel Atom V8?

[barren magnet]

why would you use etkc for an s15

use bx, its literally the same car

[crude halo]

just testing of suspension but engine? yea i want it louder

louder than LS Swap

[opaque falcon]

no

[barren magnet]

???

[opaque falcon]

its my mid engine moonhawk

[opaque falcon]

heh?

well you shouldnt

you need to add the node offset to everysuspension parts

atleast the spining parts

like brakes, hub, wheels

and for the shocks

yes because the etk c suspension is alot higher than bx so the shock will be too long

unless you shorten it

[crude halo]

one finagling problem should i ignore it?

[opaque falcon]

What's that

Model issue ?

[crude halo]

not linked driveshaft of bx to etkc transmission

[opaque falcon]

Model or physical

Like not moving

If model just change it in blender

If physically you need to change the drives driveshaft code

[crude halo]

the car is running fine.

and this popped up

[rain spoke]

maby

[crude halo]

@rain spoke if this swap works fine (s15 with etkc engine) i will do in bx

[crude halo]

how can i fix this problem?

[opaque falcon]

Bring up the g force meter

[crude halo]

ok i will do

[opaque falcon]

If you see it shacking very hard means you need to check the nodes

[crude halo]

this one?

[opaque falcon]

Yes

The g force one

[crude halo]

and yea i opened engine thermal debug too

[opaque falcon]

so is the meter shaking?

if so check the nodes

CTRL M

[crude halo]

yea

[opaque falcon]

so check the nodes

check which nodes are shaking

[toxic spade]

What is that image

[native moon]

Could someone help me with a mod

[glossy prawn]

Can confirm that the pontiac aztek mod is broken in 0.23

[opaque falcon]

no cutting

new v10 model

[crude halo]

From Scintilla?

like this node?

[glossy prawn]

(the latches don't work and just flop open when you spawn it in)

[opaque falcon]

nah\

from bx remake

[opaque falcon]

no

the one will show the node name\

[crude halo]

That must be control b

[crude halo]

i will capture that later.

[crude halo]

i guess this

[drowsy leaf]

dude you literally started a different proyect yesterday

pick up something and mod it for a while

[thick niche]

The worst thing you can do is move from project to project, limit your ability to solve problems when you just move on

[barren magnet]

fr

[hard prairie]

The tape holding the windshield in

[crude halo]

One issue is trunk how can i do? because body file mainly is Liftback

if i change from ["s15_tailgate","s15_tailgate", "Tailgate"], to ["s15_trunk","s15_trunk", "Trunk"], which meant trunk not operateable

[ocean mauve]

Well did ya also change the slotType of the trunk?

[crude halo]

i changed yea but i'm curious how about in original diana (bx) trunk behaved

turns out i forgot it.

sorry for not recheck it.

[lilac cloak]

Mod idea! Lore friendly R35 GTR maybe as a modern Ibishu Diana to compete with the SBR, and the desing is based off of this

[thick niche]

that's a interesting concept

i like it

[lilac cloak]

I just need to learn to mod, and model, and code...

I probably wouldn't use that exact design but definitely something inspired by it

It could actually be called the GTz since that's Ibishu's high performance trim

And instead of GTR Nismo it could be a GTz NOMI, DREID, or GRUNT Edition

[graceful echo]

modelling is the easy bit, actually getting it into the game will be hard enough

for example I've got loads of stuff I wish to make to continue my crusade of making police cars but i need to just learn how to make small addons first

I can model, no problem just more so the coding.

How do you change the terrain color in world editor? Cause when i use paint tool the color doesnt change (if you reply @ me so i can read it later)

[graceful scaffold]

How do I reinstall BeamNG game files? I accidentally edited Utah in the world editor and now it doesn't show as a level to load into freeroam. When i try to play a Utah scenario, it just puts me on a random map and the scenario glitches out.

[ocean mauve]

No need to reinstall anything, edits made in the world editor are saved separately from the original files

You can find them in your userfolder/0.34/levels/ - just delete the utah folder that's in there

[graceful scaffold]

Wow thank you so much! It worked.

[graceful scaffold]

now that you're here, I have an issure in my Vehicles tab - deleteed mods show on the screen, it just says deleted. is there a way to fix this like there was before?

lemme send a pic

[ocean mauve]

Similar issue to the map thing - Those are probably custom configs you made for those mods, which are still saved even when the mod is deleted

For those, the location is userfolder/0.34/levels/carname/

There should be a bunch of .pc (config) files and thumbnail images in there that you can get rid of

Another possibility is that other mods add configs for those mods - for example a skin mod adding a skin (and config to go with it) to a car mod that you don't have installed

[graceful scaffold]

lemme try 0.34/vehicles/carname and delete all hte configs. i think thats it

should i delete the entire folder of the deleted car mod?

[ocean mauve]

Yeah, so for example for the Bugatti, delete the Bugatti_Chiron_Trix folder

[graceful scaffold]

okok. thank you!!

[calm locust]

yo does that rs6 mod of yours have a bugged colors or its normal like you can change to any color?

[graceful scaffold]

wdym bugged colours? if you're talking about thte background yeah its just that colour for some reason

[drowsy leaf]

personally id put off the fuel cap to the side since it teleporting to the top seems a bit odd

[opaque falcon]

Use etk c to mod it

And do transaxle and v6

Etk c is the closest thing you can get for r34 gtr

Finally finished enough to release the beta.

[sour dew]

been looking forward to this

[opaque falcon]

Just realized something

If i put this into the mid engine moonhawk

Isn't it the mid engine viper

[crude halo]

continued the s15 where i lefted off last night.

[sour dew]

anyone know of some really good early 1950ss european race cars

preferably some with nice engine sounds

[dawn tiger]

Yo where are the pickup seat jbeams cause there not in interior or in common

[sour dew]

cars like these

i do NOT want automation

[cyan drum]

gavril phanta is the best you're gonna get

[opal solar]

hey, i need someone that will show me how to import buildings etc. from farming simulator into beamng. if you can do it - dm me

[sour dew]

suspension is so goofy on that thing lol

[cyan drum]

tough luck then lol

[sour dew]

i swear i remember something like this existing

[cyan drum]

that mod is literally like 10 years old lol

[celest sundial]

carrera gt if it was cool

[wicked egret]

the moonhawk is only single wishbone front, 4link sold axle rear

the Dodge Viper has double wishbone front and rear

Vipers actually corner very well

[magic forge]

i made this cool ahh jdm car]

i tuned it aswell

all of the body parts have been swapped and suspension is lowered wheels camber

it used to only go 120 and then after tuning it goes like 210

mph

[dawn tiger]

Hell whats it look like

[magic forge]

i can show u lol

one sec ill record it

[wicked egret]

because BeamNG doesn't have an official multiplayer, most mods are made with only single player in mind, and a race car while still being a lot of fun alone, won't be as fun as it would racing it with other people.

[sour dew]

races exist in singleplayer my man

[wicked egret]

the race is over after turn one

the ai is not good enough to race

[sour dew]

not really, you can make the ai plenty hard to race

i have a race i havent won in first place yet

[wicked egret]

which race?

[sour dew]

not becasue im a bad dricer

[sour dew]

my own race on my map, https://www.beamng.com/posts/1804791/

you can make the ai very very hard to race, just most beamng races arent becasue theyre supposed to be fun, not hard

[wicked egret]

Where's the race?

[sour dew]

is it not on the map?

[wicked egret]

nope

[magic forge]

@dawn tiger

yo @dawn tiger ill post a vid of me driving

[dawn tiger]

Dont ping people a lot lol ill see it without the ping lol

first attempt

[sour dew]

wtf

theyre supposed to a custom config

[sour dew]

well now ik i need to update it atleast, sorry for reply

[opaque falcon]

im not planning to keep the original suspension

hence

[livid oasis]

A potential new map I'm gonna make. What do you think? The blue squares are grandstands

[sour dew]

looks nice but feels familiar

[livid oasis]

What's familiar?

[sour dew]

just the layout

😐 sigh

[livid oasis]

Is that a failed AC port? When I tried to port Mount Panorama and Oran Park, there were tonnes of broken textures, but Phillip Island worked

[sour dew]

the image? no, its quite succesful, thats just beamng being beamng

just need to re equip the textures

[livid oasis]

I wonder what is the problem. Are there so many textures, that BeamNG can not generate the main.materials.json properly?

[livid oasis]

Also what track is it?

[sour dew]

no, its fine now

[sour dew]

Feldbergring, im porting it, its been done before but the one before was kinda bad

[livid oasis]

I assume that is some track from Germany? Is that correct!

[sour dew]

yes

1950s track, i wish there was better old cars

[livid oasis]

That would be cool! Because we are stuck with the Burnside Special as the only vanilla car from that time period. I'm not sure what good mods are out there

As the Bruckell Nine is too old, and the Autobello Piccolina and Ibishu Miramar are too new

[sour dew]

its also about what cars the AI can handle, the AI doesnt like not having ABS

[crude halo]

what is bx_shocktop_F?

[lusty bronze]

Hi

I'm new to BeamNG

It's the performance index mod

[dawn tiger]

The top shock node

[crude halo]

what's left on S15 to being considered to re-added it or not (because i used original BX Suspension both F/R)

[crude halo]

Thank you to made me clearly to known that is Top Shock

[ocean mauve]

There aren't any recent messages in its thread, so I guess the only way find out is to download it and give it a try :P

[olive fable]

yeah thats what i was gonna do but id figured id ask to see if anyone knew

this looks like it can be done on a widgeon chassis, an opportunity for you to learn to mod

[obtuse raven]

im new to beam modding were do i get the Jbeam editior

[dawn tiger]

For blender or vs code?

[obtuse raven]

blender is weird for me and ive heard vs code is easier

[dawn tiger]

so in vs code on the left there is an extensions button click it and search for jbeam and download them both

[obtuse raven]

where do i find the download for vs code

[dawn tiger]

On google just look up vs code

[obtuse raven]

thanks

[dawn tiger]

Materials are the bane of my existence but they do look good tho

[warped hazel]

lets say one wanted to about making a custom front suspension how would i go about it? I got jbeam editor & the suspension 3d model

[tawny raft]

Looking for some good (pickup) truck mods... modern Ford F150-350, Chevy 1500-2500 for example. Have not been able to find any on BeamNG's forums and all the other websites seem to be broken in some fashion

[dawn tiger]

There arent really any that are free

[tawny raft]

So weird that just those cost money... you got a link to any well known good ones? I suppose I wouldn't mind paying for one that is actively kept up on

[dawn tiger]

Most that i can think of are mesh slaps that i wouldn't recommend there is a free one in miniature societys discord but its not very good in my opinion i cant really send a discord link her cause ill get muted but i can dm u one to his doscord if u want

[tawny raft]

Yeah if you don't mind, I would appreciate it!!!

[dawn tiger]

I sent it gotta add me as a friend cause ur not accepting messages lol

[sour dew]

bane of my existence

and my pc existence

damn long roads are laggy

[dawn tiger]

lol make smaller ones and tthen join them

[sour dew]

yea thats true but im too lazy and already like halfway done

[misty onyx]

what the fuck i dont even know how to make headers

[opaque falcon]

It's easy

F3 loop connect

[misty onyx]

😭

[opaque falcon]

Place 2 loop at the location you want

And connect it

Then add how many edges you want and adjust the angle

This is the most easiest way but not looking that good

[dawn tiger]

or a plane and delete 2 verts and then extrude it how u want convert to curve and give it geometry

[opaque falcon]

Yea

But the loop connect one is the most easiest one if you want to make turbo manifold

[dawn tiger]

what addon is loop connect cause i dont have that as an option?

[sour dew]

god damn finally done

3 hours

dont mind the gpu wait its normally at .2

how i feel rn

[sour dew]

race development going amazing

[weary hollow]

Now you can adjust the position of the steering wheel! | MAN TGX Rework

[opaque falcon]

bridge edge loop

its already in blender

i just forgot the name

[sour dew]

this is probably an insane thing to ask, but i know youre smart, do you think making a dakar rally config for the rework is possible, im sure you may know what im talking about but i can send an image too, none exist in beamng and only one person is working on one, this would be amazing but i fully understand if you cant

[dawn tiger]

Yea i found it after searching lol i was so confused for a min cause ive used blender for a very long time and i was like wtf what is this lol and why havent i heard of it lol

[weary hollow]

?

hmmm, maybe

[sour dew]

Yep exactly

Would be amazing

If people were able to make skins too that’d be sick

Sorry, not tryna sound like one of those people that ask mod makers for everything but I had my chance

I know how much of a pain UV maps are to make, but the livery’s for a Dakar truck are endless

[bright jacinth]

do i have to know engineering and physics in order to carefully tweak or make jbeams?

[dawn tiger]

No not really lol just edit stuff so it doesnt explode or break the numbers are kinda arbitrary read through this https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/

[bright jacinth]

how does one guess a weight/rigidity of a vehicle

if it isn't really the focus

[dawn tiger]

well the wight is handled by node weight in the jbeams all the node weights combined equals total wieght and stiffness is kinda up to you because there arent really any numbers i know f irl that show vehicle stiffness

[stone horizon]

so this video got updated to a new website called mods.to and was wondering if mods.to is actually safe or not video is this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgOrsWugu5M

when i tried it it redirects to other sites i go back and after like 10 minutes i got a mod. anyone know like a html editing trick to get mod instantly

[dawn tiger]

No never use that website only the forums and the repo and reputable patreons and kofi or gumroad mods

[stone horizon]

ok thank you

ima go on a modding find to try to find every mod on that list on forums or those other sites you said

[crude halo]

is this panel gap ok or not?

[woven idol]

i need a mod where i can have a insta360 type camera

it would be the amazing

Hello,
Is there a diagram or number which shows the damage caused by torque to the engine? So its easier to set up builds✌🏼

[crude halo]

in this case should i use node offset or node move

or regularly move in blender

[ocean mauve]

nodeMove/Offset if you want to move the model and jbeam, move in blender if you just want to move the model

[crude halo]

Since the SILVIA S15 have Automatic Transmission in Real World but in all Games it is Manual Version Only

During this port i reasearched some reasons it has Automatic Transmission too.

that would be the overall model ( i started from the frame of a mercedes 190D 2.5 then i imagined it as an SUV type ) i've finished like 80% of the jbeams, i'm just struggling on some little parts that needs more of comprehension but i am on it hehe, i will also make an EVO version of that monster just like the EVO 1 and 2 of the 190 🙂 i hope you like the style ( be honest i'm not a princess )

Anyone know any other good plane mods other than b 25 me 262 and planes like that

And not the forums one cause i got all of them

[dawn tiger]

Any mods not on the forums are stolen mods/badmods/ probably ones from the forums just posted by someone else

[dawn tiger]

Not dissing but why the wheels on the ground not have any lug nut holes lol'

[karmic cloud]

😂😂😂 guess i didnt bother doing it it was just there for estethic 😂

[drowsy leaf]

man made horrors beyond my comprehension right here (this is a joke)

[ocean mauve]

yeah visually im not a huge fan, and anything beyond that cant be judged from a screenshot

[drowsy leaf]

if you want this to be a beamng mod you are goingto have a mnore detailed model, it seems you have no underbody, the design is also very weird

it seems like a retro car with huge rims and tiny tires thats utilitarian but luxurious, the bodylines are very weird for sure and it looks like a subdivided model (very highpoly and bad for beamng)

[karmic cloud]

actually i've made some test of the body of the vehicle on beamng it worked fine even if it's quite smooth and all, yeahh also for the rims and wheels i think i went a little far on that hahahahah wait i'll try to show you more details of it cuz i've even made the suspension, the chassis, a little bit of the interior, a shitload of things but it looks like it has nothing ( it's myfault, i didnt render the rest lol )

[drowsy leaf]

do you have a pic of the polyflow?

[karmic cloud]

yeah i wanted that retro style from the 190 but i struggeled with the back trunk

[karmic cloud]

let me check that

[drowsy leaf]

thing is retro designs generally cant be adapted to modern cars apart from then rough shape, you basically did it the other way, the lights and trim and overall design generally straight up dont work, so you generally just take the shape and redesign the elements from scratch

take in this- even if i dont particularly like it, it looks like a renault 5, but also looks model

[karmic cloud]

here it's on a first level subdivision, i can go to 2 maxi for it to work on beamng, here is the body video testing

cant send the link rip

[karmic cloud]

yess i remember at somepoint i was trying different design mixed between the 190 and some other 4x4 like range rover / land cruiser etc... but it was hard x) i thought this design would suit better, i have another one but it makes like the front is old and the back is futuristic

the point is that i didnt want to make that vehicle futuristic or modern like, but more like of giving a 190 steroids xD

[drowsy leaf]

thats with the subdivision applied?

[karmic cloud]

yes

[drowsy leaf]

some parts are very highpoly

how many total triangles does it have

you can check with this

[karmic cloud]

how many is too much for beamng ?

[drowsy leaf]

WHAT

[karmic cloud]

xD

[drowsy leaf]

that is like
3x the amount a beam car has

[karmic cloud]

damn

[drowsy leaf]

a full car generally has <150k
a full car with a fine amount of customization and extra parts is like 220k

[karmic cloud]

ok ok alright x) so i gotta make the overall car less than 150k

the jbeam tho is a lowpoly version of that, even box

when i did my first atempt i put so many nodes and all the game said the car is a pancake now

[drowsy leaf]

like even this thing im making which im not caring if its highpoly or not (i have a reason for that) is lower polycount

also general recomendation

[karmic cloud]

segsy car

[drowsy leaf]

you seem to not know much about modeling and jbeaming at least, making a full car mod is VERY complex and to date i know 0 people that have done a car mod thats not complete garbage as their first mod

it is reccomended to mess with already existing vanilla content instead of trying to make your own

[karmic cloud]

that's what i'm doing exactly, messing around with existing data and eventually ask for opinions

[drowsy leaf]

no

what im saying is modifying vanilla game cars

not trying to make a whole different amalagamtion of a car

my first mod from 2021 is literally just a piccolina engine but switched to be a diesel engine instead of being gasoline

[karmic cloud]

for modeling, the story of that car went from a unique blender project to a beamng mod, for modeling part i'm quite good for it but optimizing the polycount for the mod that's what causes maybe some problems

[cyan drum]

hi

[karmic cloud]

yeaaah i see what you talking abt, the problem is that i'm already switching the codes

[cyan drum]

(the first version was dogshit, and the 2nd one, and the 3rd and 4th one but shh)

[drowsy leaf]

you are already doing what

[karmic cloud]

i gave myself an objective for doing that by fixing some mods i have and also switching vanilla motors between pigeon and gavril

[drowsy leaf]

no dont do that
fixing old mods is NOT a good idea

[karmic cloud]

oh 😮 well i thought it would be a great way to understand some things x)

[karmic cloud]

this ☠️

[drowsy leaf]

what is a thedra

[karmic cloud]

the name i gave the model just naming it :p

Treha*

it means " a punch ", well i guess in this case the punch is litteraly one hurtfull one xD

[weary hollow]

🤭

[drowsy leaf]

is that interior even pbr

[weary hollow]

I doubt it, but we will try to completely remake this mod

but this is not our main project

[drowsy leaf]

we,

?

[weary hollow]

just a mini rework

[drowsy leaf]

so just adding gimmics instead of like
fixing it

[weary hollow]

yes me and my friend NSD

[karmic cloud]

does this include also the interior ?

[dawn tiger]

I mean one of my cars has a lot it only matters for performance reasons and somehwat deformation but that cant be fixed

[karmic cloud]

i made the model have 250K total poly

[karmic cloud]

to be honest when i was searching around while modding i didnt really search for the polycounts and model optimization i assumed it was something i could do after the jbeams parts and also the model comes from my first project didnt mean to add it in beamng its some friends that told me they would like to see it behave on road 🙂

[shell estuary]

Does anyone have something like still working Variety mod?

[sour dew]

most optimized automation car

[karmic cloud]

189.993

[barren magnet]

judging by the ratio of faces to triangles, i'd wager a guess and say theres probably a lot of ngons in here

292k tris is still insane for a beam car

especially something that's not a highpoly bake candidate

[marble hull]

can someone make a procharged fox body?

[sour dew]

antone know some cars like an ariel atom or a caterham

[sour dew]

will this be on its own frame or the d series

[dawn tiger]

d_series rn but imma make it its own cause its its own car

[cyan drum]

blackpool superlite

[latent ivy]

but it's been in development for too long, and it's not even released

[sour dew]

ahah, i remembered that mod but not the name, thanks

[sour dew]

wdym its been out for like 5 years

[cyan drum]

the hell are you smoking

[latent ivy]

i don't remember seeing the blackpool superlite being released

[cyan drum]

it's a repo mod

[sour dew]

been out since 2019 on the repo

[cyan drum]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/blackpool-superlite.10011/

[latent ivy]

OH

i was confusing it for another mod of yours

my bad!

[cyan drum]

guh

[cyan drum]

also what do you mean for "too long"?

[latent ivy]

never mind, i was thinking of your lore friendly ariel atom

[crude halo]

My Current Project

that's upper parts only because i use suspension and few things from Ibishu BX

[thorn obsidian]

Anyone know how to fix an issue im having on the RLS career mod? I load in and the garage your meant to start and isnt avaliable for me to use

meaning i cant play the mod at all

[left igloo]

what is the new pessima called in files?

[drowsy leaf]

midsize

[ocean mauve]

Try asking in its thread
https://www.beamng.com/threads/rls-career-overhaul-v2-2-0-34-compatible.97107/

[copper bane]

is there like a simple way to disable lots of mods quickly without having to wait a very very long time

[ocean mauve]

Drag m out of your mods/repo/ folder to some temporary location

[runic axle]

police package

[thick niche]

is this the fullsize mod?

[runic axle]

yes

[sour dew]

Are you fully revamping it or just doing sounds

[crude halo]

Waiting the C-West Hood

[cold pewter]

made a chassis for a pickup truck using the midsize underbody as a base and honestly it didn’t come out too bad, thoughts on this?

[crude halo]

Looks good

[crude halo]

Is that Hilux or Taco or Tundra....

[cyan drum]

...unibody pickup?

I don't think that's how it works lol

[cold pewter]

wait wait wait i kinda explained it wrong my bad 😭 meant the like cab shell and stuff not the actual frame itself, and i still gotta work on adjusting stuff like the underside so it’s more pickup like so i thought it would’ve been good enough to show now lol, still preeetty unfinished

[cold pewter]

hilux

[cyan drum]

I'm pretty sure the whole front bit has to go lol

the front would be held by the frame and the rad support

[crude halo]

Anything is possible

[cyan drum]

like on the d series

[cyan drum]

that doesn't mean it's realistic nor it makes sense

unless it's actually like that irl which I'd find bizarre

[cold pewter]

this is the cab shell on the real thing (excuse me for the lq pictures) but yeah wanted to do something like this

[cyan drum]

oh huh interesting

tried to find pics on bringatrailer but it's modern so it's joever

[cold pewter]

yeah i think similar pickups like the vw amarok and that one Mercedes are kinda similar to that

same w the navara/frontier and dmax

[cold pewter]

modern pickups are usually kinda like that i think the newer gen hilux is basically the same thing

[worldly steeple]

Hey Guys - does anybody knowes how to add airbags?

[cyan drum]

nope

[cold pewter]

even some american pickups are sorta like that a bit but it’s much more simplified

[worldly steeple]

mby door chime? 💀

[cyan drum]

nope

[worldly steeple]

alr thanks bud

whenever I do that it just keeps them enabled anyway is there anything else I have to do to make it actually disable them?

[thick niche]

still not correct, but there is unibody trucks now.

[cyan drum]

cursed

[thick niche]

but

[cyan drum]

other than utes

[thick niche]

i think the mavrick and the new ranger are unibody

[mighty basin]

Ranger is not unibody

[thick niche]

just the mavrick then

[dawn tiger]

The rivian is a unibody there are a lot of unibody trucks lol

[karmic cloud]

i should bring back this to <150k ? ( it's the suspension model... i prefer not to show the wieframe of it lol it's litteraly a pain to watch )

[karmic cloud]

i like the handling behavior

[dawn tiger]

AgentY is redoing the mod this guy is just swapping sounds from a mod into it

[runic axle]

just sounds but i can see what i can do with it also agenty is in the process of doing the same thing

[slate egret]

any good turbo mods?

[bleak venture]

hiya lads im having a bit of bother doing up an astra h mod im trying to make 1.9cdti engines and its not really going too well is there anytone that could possibly help

[dawn tiger]

Whats not going well?

[bleak venture]

im trying to do modifiable engines but it just keeps breaking and not letting me use said engine

[dawn tiger]

Which part is breaking tho like what are you doing that is breaking. like is the engine showing up in the vehicle config selector?

[bleak venture]

not once i try adding new configs

and modify engine data and so on

[dawn tiger]

Hmm where are you trying to add configs in the jbeam like how are you doing it? also do you have vs code with the jbeam addon to help with syntax errors

[bleak venture]

im adding it in the engine jbeam and syntax errors?

i apolagise if i seem to be a complete idiot btw im new to beamng modding but have been modding assetto corsa for years now

[dawn tiger]

syntax errors are like you forgot to add a comma or stuff like that, that will stop it from working completely

[bleak venture]

ahhhhh right

how do i find all this info out??

[dawn tiger]

Wym? like what info?

[bleak venture]

like syntax nd all that

[dawn tiger]

well you need vs code with the jbeam addon and if you have any major errors it will show in the botttim

You get muted for saying the r word lol?

[bleak venture]

ye and i was calling myself it aswell🤣

[dawn tiger]

hahaha i saw it pop up for a split second lol

[bleak venture]

i just started laughing like an idiot

[dawn tiger]

Be careful not to get warned and muted too many times or you may get banned lol, but if you get vs code and the addons for jbeam it should help a lot

[bleak venture]

cheers man thats vscode downloading the now#

[versed turret]

Trying to do airride on a mercedes 300sel, i attempted to follow this old thread but got lost at step 10. is this still the way to do it or is there an easier way, usually pretty good with jbeam stuff this just confused me a bit. any yhelp is appreciated, heres the link to the thread i was attempting to follow https://www.beamng.com/threads/tutorial-how2make-airride-airlift-suspension.42570/

i'll look up my bastion ones

please look up at {"beamSpring":0,"beamDamp":0},
{"beamLimitSpring":251000,"beamLimitDamp":10000},
["fh1r","fs1r", {"longBoundRange":0.09,"shortBoundRange":0.055,"boundZone":0.04,"beamLimitDampRebound":1000,"dampCutoffHz":400}],
["fh1l","fs1l", {"longBoundRange":0.09,"shortBoundRange":0.055,"boundZone":0.04,"beamLimitDampRebound":1000,"dampCutoffHz":400}], @versed turret

it might help

[ocean mauve]

This is useless without the positions of the nodes and a lot of other context

[versed turret]

i figured as much, i think ill put that in the too hard basket sadly. just wanted to replicate my irl bagged merc.

have plenty of blender experience but without the jbeam alll that is useless. so different to assetto modding

[unkempt vector]

anyone know any uk maps? with tight roads. like highforce.

Hi everyone! My buddy got Beammp the other day and wants me to get it. He says its safe, but I was wanting another opinion. Is Beammp safe? Anything to worry about?

[cyan drum]

beammp is safe
