Engine sound and exhaust sound?

[desert cipher]

where in the hood .jbeam do i limit how much the latch can open and how do i change its center of mass

[dawn tiger]

New 15's for the bastion

[thick surge]

are there any good gt3 car mods other than the scintilla one?

[cyan drum]

there is a much better (actual) gt3 mod for the scintilla

[amber raft]

Hi, does ANYONE know of a mod/any way to get ghosts in your time trials of past runs to race against? I would love that. Please let me know.

[dry quarry]

So does this like do anything at all or is it just a box behind a paywall?

[dawn tiger]

Idk do you care or are you just complaining?

[dry quarry]

Genuinely asking

Why not try and release an actual product like that

[thick surge]

link it?

[dawn tiger]

well i have working prototype but the way the jbeam works rn it makes the flexbody weird unless i make a more detailed jbeam and that doesnt run very good ignore the dented roof i grabbed the wrong node when i was attaching the box to the van before i actually attached it with beams

[cyan drum]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/scintilla-gt3-racing-parts.23027/

[dawn tiger]

There are also more than just that one sub for almost every car in game there are like 15 options per car for subs i have made a lot of subs for each car just dont update my patreon i just update in my discord the progress

[thick surge]

yeah thats the one i got

[cyan drum]

haven't seen another one

[thick surge]

sad

tanks for the help tho

[dry quarry]

I was more thinking like custom sub boxes per car in real life rather than beam but a sub simulating the car shaking because of air pressure is creative asf

[dawn tiger]

Oh do you mean make boxes irl?

I also make my stuff as detailed as possible so people get mor than just a couple circles and a box

[dry quarry]

Yes exactly

[dry quarry]

Because based on this you got passion for it

[dawn tiger]

Not much of a demand for it where i live i also live in an apartment so i cant really run power tools inside lol

[desert cipher]

Help

[dawn tiger]

Center of mass would be defined by how much your nodes weigh and where they are and limit it with bounded beams

[desert cipher]

how the hinge move

like idk how to explain it

so its not just rotating the object

90 degrees

[desert cipher]

So why does this texture go blank but the other half using the same texture doesn't?

This always randomly happens

[dawn tiger]

it cant find the material so it must either not exist or it has a .00 number at then end in blender

[desert cipher]

theres no .00

and the material exist

[dawn tiger]

then clear cache

[desert cipher]

deep or normal

[desert cipher]

the texture works on other parts

just not this one

[restive thistle]

Yeah, making sound blends and such

[opaque falcon]

woo making sounds blends

just go google or youtube

theres tutorial

[restive thistle]

Well, the thing is I tried and I sucked at it. I’m not good with that, I’m good with making the sound itself. If you don’t wanna help then just stay shut.

There’s a whole process just to export and adapt the sound to beam, it’s not just a few samples and a magic program.

[opaque falcon]

first of all, i dont even know how to make sound blends
second, i thought you originally meant how to change the sound of the engine and exhuast

dont be like that bruv

im just giving advice to watch youtube

[dawn tiger]

Actually your wrong there is a program that takes the sounds you export and makes the blend lol

[opaque falcon]

wait for real?

[dawn tiger]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/sound-blend-file-creator-sfxblend2d-tool.81891/

[opaque falcon]

sweet

[restive thistle]

What the fuck

[restive thistle]

I love you

[opaque falcon]

i can finally make some good v12 and i6 sound

[dawn tiger]

yea just gotta export your samples how you would and this tool will help make the blend file it has worked for me the couple of times i used it

[opaque falcon]

where can i find the model for the gavril 4.5 5.5 v8 dae

[amber raft]

Hi, does ANYONE know of a mod/any way to get ghosts in your time trials of past runs to race against? I would love that. Please let me know.

[opaque falcon]

Oh wow I'm blind🤣

I didnt see that

[dawn tiger]

took me a while too to find it the first time cause i figured it would be in engines lol

[opaque falcon]

i have some ideas

its basically the same thing so

maybe 4v version?

[dawn tiger]

Why not lol

[desert cipher]

how do i fix this mess 😭

[neon wyvern]

the problem isn't the just inertia, friction, or stress on the single cam, it's the geometry problem. For OHV you have the valves in line with the cam, but it gets a lot more complicated now for ports either being different lengths, and how to rout them

or you could rotate the valves as a whole 90 degrees so they're in line with the manifolds instead, but then you have a packaging issue. Or you have weird offset valves to the rockers

[desert cipher]

not making a meshlab gonna fix the jbeam after

[neon wyvern]

you've moved the suspension node stuff right? now you have to modify the nodeOffset on the wheels slot (or it might be a hub slot, or an offset for the wheels in the hub file)

[desert cipher]

Oh thanks

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @neon wyvern (current: #240 - 13)

[main abyss]

I can't remember off the top of my head what they're called, but they should be stated in the documentation that I sent you.

[robust wigeon]

i need help the jbeam i will give him $

[ocean mauve]

What do you need help with, just moving the nodes? That is pretty easy and can be done with any text editor

If you want to edit them in a more visual way, there are official tools like
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=beamng.jbeam-editor
and
https://github.com/BeamNG/Blender-JBeam-Editor

In any case I wouldn't really say it's worth paying someone to do that for you

[robust wigeon]

bro really thx

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve (current: #1 - 400)

[opaque falcon]

Ah, but there is the 4v version

Which is the mustang 4.6 5.4 v8

[neon wyvern]

oh is that ohc, I thought the model you gabbed was an ohv

[opaque falcon]

Ya ohc

Nah, I think it's ohc

Because the left side picture is the ford 2v/3v ohc modular v8

I always thought the pickup 4.5 5.5 v8 is pushrod but now I saw it, it's sohc

[drowsy leaf]

yeah the ford modular v8 (used in the gavrils) is a ohc (sohc and dohc i think too)

[opaque falcon]

i think sohc is the 2v and 3v version right? and dohc is the 4v

[main abyss]

Let's go! This took way to long.

Also found out how much I hate materials and UV mapping...

Like what is this?

[tribal cargo]

Yeah, that makes sense. The mod is pretty old, so I doubt there's gonna be an update for torque converter addition.

Ah well.

I'll have to see if I can find a transmission that has a lockup torque converter that acts like a DCT.

Did you make this yourself?
Godsend fr

[violet lily]

It needs very more stuff done before it's done but he is nyoom
He is driving

Now the related question: I have made a new texture for the side badge/sticker. Both sides have the same material, same UV map and the mesh exists on both sides. BUT it's only visible on the left side.

[main abyss]

Electric variant of the Cherrier Picnic?

[violet lily]

Yup!
The Picnic was missing the cherry(er) on top. The equivalent to the 106 Electric

[main abyss]

Sick.

[tribal cargo]

@opaque falcon I feel like I owe you money or something. That configuration file. looks amazing compared to the original and I see you added some changes and added a torque converter. It also looks like you tuned a few things. I'll let you know when I try it out. I really freaking appreciate it.

[violet lily]

Needs the "electric" writing redone to "electrique", the other side to work, then custom node distribution for the battery, a custom mesh for the engine bay and then it should be good!

[main abyss]

Nice, doing an electric conversion my self, although it's just of the Wentward DL40.

[violet lily]

Nice
I have gotten quite a bit of experience by doing one for the 88 Pessima

[main abyss]

Cool.

[violet lily]

Which is it's final stages of getting the last little update done... Maybe I should do that instead of starting something new

[main abyss]

Yeah, that's how it always is.

[opaque falcon]

Ah I already send the fixed file

[tribal cargo]

I saw

[opaque falcon]

It's just some simple stuff I added

[tribal cargo]

#mods-discussion message

[opaque falcon]

Ya I just saw that

[tribal cargo]

Thank you

[opaque falcon]

👍

It's just the ceep torque converter actually

And moonhawk stock torque converter

[tribal cargo]

still your a legend for helping me out. I know the game inside and out, but I can't mess with code or lua like that.

[opaque falcon]

Same actually 🤣

I don't know how to mess with lua

[tribal cargo]

lua scares me

C++ too

and python

[opaque falcon]

Same

[digital glen]

why in some mods the brakelight lights up depending on how much i press the brake? is that even right? because i didnt find any function for it

[ocean mauve]

vanilla cars do that too, idk why

[digital glen]

ya but its only a little, right?

[cold pewter]

it might be the material transitioning from like the normal on to like the on_intense

depending on the amount of braking you put probably or how long it takes to go from 0-100%

idk if that’s actually the reason but I’m just guessing

[digital glen]

ill try to record it

[cold pewter]

yeah like at first it’s dim and once you press the brake fully it gets a little brighter

well not dim but less bright

[waxen lily]

alr thanks

[muted pivot]

does anyone else want to add pedestrians to beamng

i really want it

[digital glen]

but in some mods with the halogen fade effect the whole brake range controls it

[dawn tiger]

They are working on it they have a showcase for the tech decision of beam ng it's just not in game yet for us they did leave snippets of code in tho some of us grabbed before it got taken out

[digital glen]

this is what i mean

[cold pewter]

yeah it’s probably the on and on_intense materials

[digital glen]

shouldnt on_intense be removed for these new light effects?

[tropic ermine]

does anybody have any modded maps with bridges?

[rare elm]

Does anyone have any mods that can give me either a lope tune, or roll a bunch of coal

[earnest prism]

toma no cu bucetaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[dawn tiger]

what brother

[opaque falcon]

Ya ceep

[rare elm]

what

[dawn tiger]

Its a mod called C.E.E.P

[rare elm]

is it in the repo or is it on a website

[dawn tiger]

repo

[opaque falcon]

both, repo and patreon

repo one is free, patreon one has more function/stuff

[rare elm]

gotcha

and is there any mods where i can put damage? like ex: throwing a rod, or lifter tick, etc.

[loud pivot]

mmrhrhm. Thas' a bad alternator oncha.

[tropic ermine]

^?

[dawn tiger]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/driver-1-san-francisco.75280/ theres this one

Thanks

That helps a lot

[cold pewter]

yeah but they havent been adapted for other cars yet

[latent ivy]

any one know any good 4th gen dodges?

or 3rd gens?

[toxic spade]

I downloaded the CVPI by Maxie, but it didn’t work when I loaded the game up

Could someone help?

[sour dew]

Clear cache

[drowsy leaf]

do brake lights work like that tho?

like i think they generally just swich between on and on_intense if youve got the lights turned off depending on how much you are braking

[young zenith]

Formula Bruckell

maybe Formula Legran

[violet lily]

Man I love modelling
It is so fun :U

[sour dew]

Definitely make it based on a smaller brand, there is so much bruckel stuff

[young zenith]

yeah,Deceneu Racing,
Formula Ford type shi

[young zenith]

also jbeam quite alr

[latent grove]

Which is (sorry late response)

[digital glen]

no, they are supposed to turn on or off, nothing in between

[verbal summit]

is there any bmw e46 compact mod for beamng out there?

i cannot find any

[digital bramble]

hello!
I was wondering if someone could help me here.
Id love to remove some cars in the garage to garage west coast scenario.
Maybe set the spawnrate to 0?
I was hoping to find sth related in %âppdata because i used to delete the progress in there but never found anything for the spawnrate or selections.
Please DM me if you have any insight into this
Thanks

[dense jungle]

beamng doesnt use the appdata folder at all, the user folder is in documents and the game folder is under steam but nothing in that should be modified

[cyan drum]

wrong

[dense jungle]

i actually did not know that

[cyan drum]

were you perhaps stuck back when the wendover was the newest car

[dense jungle]

what one

[digital bramble]

yea do be like that you can access al the stored data of missions in there and change it around

[cyan drum]

the population rate is inside every car's info.json files

[dense jungle]

wait no, im getting soliad and the wendover mixed up

[cyan drum]

wendover is soliad

[dense jungle]

idk why, thats the only one i get mixed up

[cyan drum]

damn

[dawn tiger]

Maybe they changed their user folder location?

[cyan drum]

read

he just didn't know

[dense jungle]

i only thought it was the steam folder and documents

i actually never knew about the appdata part

[dawn tiger]

When you open your mod folder where does it take you

[dense jungle]

into my documents

am i being stupid or is that the same folder

[cyan drum]

I remember lots of people getting false red flags from their antiviruses due to this change

[dense jungle]

ok i am being stupid

its the same folder i was referring to either way

[dawn tiger]

Send the location of your mod folders in lol I wanna see cause now I'm confused

[dense jungle]

im actually lost now because im only finding 0.32

ok i am stupid

[dawn tiger]

Go in game and click open mod folder lol

[dense jungle]

its on my ssd but used to be in my appdata

and i had a tab open with my mod in it too

[dawn tiger]

So you did change your user folder like I was saying earlier

[dense jungle]

yes but i thought the default installation was in the documents

i do need to delete those old ones anyway to save some space

[dawn tiger]

It used to be I think some people also make a shortcut in their documents to there mod folder still because they don't like the change lol

[dawn tiger]

#mods-discussion message

[dense jungle]

good thing is i have a fresh install on my laptop

and its unchanged aside from mods put into it

@cyan drum @dawn tiger this is it

thats why

[dawn tiger]

I've always wandered why the moves here shortcut gets put there

[digital bramble]

where are these located?

[cyan drum]

I just said it there

inside every car

[digital bramble]

ah bet

[tribal cargo]

Hey chat is there a UI app to show Air Bags pressure? mainly for the T-Series The data for it has to exist somewhere I'm sure. I know the interior dials exist, but it's a pain trying to look at them while driving.

Chevy*

[latent ivy]

Because me and this German moddee are making complex mods

aren't air bags just a texture thats invisible until you have glass break deforms?

[mental glen]

how hard would it be to make parts for maxies crown vic to turn it into a lincoln town car?

or a mercury grand marquis

or a mercury marauder

[dawn tiger]

i mean id ask permission but not hard as long as you can model badges and stuff

[bright jacinth]

somebody already kinda did a grand marquis modification

[pearl sage]

for some reason i just dont have the patience to make a 3d model like i know its easy enough id say after i make my first car but i just dont have the patience

[dawn tiger]

3d modeling is not easy

[slow charm]

Can someone help me with world editor

[dawn tiger]

what are you trynna do?

[slow charm]

Add objects or add texture to those objects

[dawn tiger]

So to add an object you would use the assett browser and find the dae of the object

[slow charm]

Ok, thanks

[fierce matrix]

Hi guys, it is possible to export minimap from in-game to an high-resolution image?

To get something like as this

[novel lion]

NGL I wish there was a racing line thing - maybe tehre is and I haven't found it but yea

[slow charm]

Where's the assett browser

[dawn tiger]

click window at the top of the screen the click assett browser

[slow charm]

Wtf is happening

Nevermind it loaded

OK so what I need is just blocks

So you said there was a mod editing map

Where is it

[tacit wyvern]

Is there any mid engine cars you guys can think of? Can't find any lol

[cyan drum]

civetta mondello

[tacit wyvern]

Yeah but it's only the civettas and the SBR4

I can't even find mods, at least ones that aren't from modland

[opaque falcon]

bolide, scintilla, covet mr

Sbr doesn't count

Sbr is rear engine

Not sure if modded cars counts or not

How do I give this little cube collision

I just had to

[slow charm]

Jokes on you I'm Slim

[sour dew]

Me too, I am really waiting for a good prewar car before releasing a port I’m working on, the map doesn’t feel right, I mean the map is in the 50s but still

I’m really disappointed, i love old cars but im sure they’re a million times harder to make than normal ones

[lime birch]

Im working on my mods, and theres the Everton, but thats it

[latent ivy]

any one know any 4th gen dodges or 3rd gens?

[restive thistle]

working on new sounds for the scintilla bc why not

[viral pollen]

Anyone know if there are any good Police mods in this game where I don’t have to go broke for

[wicked egret]

hell yeah

[opaque falcon]

new sound for engine and exhaust?

[drowsy leaf]

lmao no they are garbage
the """airbags"""" only appear when the glass is broken and not when a crash is detected and they arent even simulated, they just pop into existance
the front glass also shouldnt break like that, front glass is designed to not break

[restive thistle]

Only exhaust so far

[opaque falcon]

Ah

Just suggestion, you could put the original v12 engine sound and use your exhaust sound

[restive thistle]

V10 you mean?

[opaque falcon]

Or you already did

V12

[restive thistle]

It’s based on the LFA exhaust acoustics

[opaque falcon]

Hold on let me give you the example

Oh wait

[restive thistle]

It’s a V10

[opaque falcon]

I thought this is v12😂

But yeah it's cool

Odd firing?

[restive thistle]

It’s got the whine because the IR targets some specific harmonics that give it that sound

[opaque falcon]

Ahh ok

[restive thistle]

That, and the exhaust thing

[opaque falcon]

So this one is using original v10 engine sound right?

[restive thistle]

No, it’s using a simplified V10 from an R8 iirc

[opaque falcon]

Wooo

[restive thistle]

For the engine sound. The exhaust is the new one

[opaque falcon]

So still odd firing

[slow charm]

I wonder how I get audio like that

[restive thistle]

?

[opaque falcon]

Your goal is even firing like lfa or odd firing like r8 lambo sound

Kinda curious

[slow charm]

I've always wanted to make an mod for an engine

But how would I make the mod if I'm just going after audio

[restive thistle]

I guess even firing, but I am making it unique in a sense, there’s plenty of LFA sounds out there

[opaque falcon]

Hmm

Maybe you can do an odd firing but 10 to 1 exhaust sound

[restive thistle]

Oh it’s a bit of a mess. You’re talking about making the sound and then modding it in like I’m doing right?

[opaque falcon]

So you can keep the v10 engine sound from original scintilla or r8 like you used

[restive thistle]

Oh I can do that by having it mono out instead of a stereo sound

[slow charm]

Yeah

[opaque falcon]

Ah no it's not like that

Hmmm

[restive thistle]

Don’t worry, I know, I have a whole mixer setup for each cylinder so I can simulate exactly that

[opaque falcon]

Ah ok

Engine simulator?

[restive thistle]

Fl studio

[opaque falcon]

Ohhh ok

[restive thistle]

I make the sounds from zero in FL studio using pulses like short kicks, hats, and so on, mixing them till I get the sound I want. Then, you make a very specific pattern based on the engine’s firing order to simulate it, and control the RPM with the bpm

[opaque falcon]

Ahh

You can make it so the engine still sounds like odd firing but the exhaust is even firing

[restive thistle]

There’s a whole process to build the onload and offload sounds and then export them into beam but yeah

[opaque falcon]

Ah ok

Nice

[restive thistle]

Maybe? I haven’t tried that

[opaque falcon]

Now I know where to make my v10 10 to 1 header sound

[opaque falcon]

You can try that

[restive thistle]

You can prob try smth else out by getting F1nz’s flp file, where he made a bunch of engines including a V10 (which simulates 5 cylinders for some reason) to test out

You do have to edit it so you can control the engine load separately from the RPM so you can tune it to preference, but yeah

And export 31 samples all throughout the rpm range for a decent soundblend. Although if you’re good, you can get away with less. I’ve seen some get away with 2 samples

[slow charm]

I might need a lesson on how to do that

So then I could something like a 5.9 Magnum

[restive thistle]

Well there’s very few videos out there about this so i guess I could explain you how to do it someday

[wary ocean]

does anyone know where i can find this mod?

i have seen it in a few beamng vids but i havent found anywhere to get it

[nimble pendant]

probably private

if you can't find a mod anywhere, it's probably not shared

[wary ocean]

ah alright

thanks

[nimble pendant]

yeah np but its probably not the answer you are looking for lol

[cyan drum]

funny part is the german "modder" in question is just phaien lmao

[nimble pendant]

idek if phaien is a respected modder anymore lol

he isn't and never was

[harsh cobalt]

Link?

[green stream]

The front end is from vipvap's ibishi plus, the kit idk could be vipvap could be private could be existing in a realm I haven't seen. The skin is from god6sixzilla I think looks like his wheels are default beam upfront and idk in the rear.

[quick beacon]

Where can i get a road texture for a minimap? There is only terrain.

[frank cove]

The roads generate automatically based on their drivability level

[restive thistle]

i gotta fix the idle and it'll be ready for beam, what do we think?

[lean spruce]

How to import my 3D terrain model into the map?

[dawn tiger]

Put the dae in the levels shapes folder and use the assett browser to spawn it in

[lean spruce]

That's it, I put it in a folder I created for custommodels. But I can't use terrain paint on that 3D terrain, right?

is terrain paint only for heightmap?

[dawn tiger]

You are right you can't paint on a 3d mesh you can use decals tho

[lean spruce]

how

[lean spruce]

And why does the terrain that I have imported not have collisions?

and the uvs were also imported wrong

[dawn tiger]

you have to se the collision type in the inspectory to visible mesh final

[lean spruce]

dont work

[dawn tiger]

you have to rebuild collisions in the edit menu

[lean spruce]

how😅

[dawn tiger]

click edit then rebuild collisions

[lean spruce]

👍

And why have UVs been imported wrong?

[dawn tiger]

probably mutiple uv layers in blender

[lean spruce]

I used an untiled node

Maybe it is better to do it with vertex color?

and how are the physics of each material assigned?

@dawn tiger

[frank cove]

[lean spruce]

Ok ty

[lean spruce]

I'll try tomorrow, I'm new to beamng

Well they aren't comparable because you use the jbeam weather way but a mesh slap is you just downloading a model and not changing anything with the jbeam other than the flex body... I.e the mesh

[cyan drum]

jbeam is https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/
meshslap is a type of (usually) vehicle mod where the one who makes it uses a model that's not made by them and slaps it on a vanilla car's jbeam, often resulting in bad quality

[wooden compass]

Do you know how can i start to make jbeam models? i want to make a car in tthis game

[dawn tiger]

Start with a simple car part and read through the modding documentation on the website that TheTalkingBath sent

[wooden compass]

Whatt app can i use i mean

to model the car

[dawn tiger]

Well blender for modeling and vs code and blender with the jbeam addon for making jbeams

[wooden compass]

Thank you guys

how do i play multiplayer in beam ng

and does anyone wanna play

i’m 17 i’ve got a t300 and just wanna mess about and race have fun

[ocean mauve]

The game doesn't have an official multiplayer mode, so you'll need a mod for that. The most popular one is BeamMP
https://docs.beammp.com/game/getting-started/

[latent ivy]

can somebody link the official modding site, ion wanna get scammed, or is there somewhere i can find it in this server

[frigid palm]

[quick plover]

[unreal glen]

[junior rose]

Can someone please make a GOOD koenigsegg agera RS mod

[wicked egret]

🤫

[restive thistle]

I wonder why custom sounds translate so bad to beamng, comparation In-game vs inside the project file.

[inner wave]

hmm that is weird

[dawn tiger]

What project file are you referring to like what are you using to make the sound?

[restive thistle]

Fl studio

[dawn tiger]

Oh I haven't tried using fl studio to make sounds how's that work are you sampling a cars audio or making the sounds from scratch?

[restive thistle]

Completely from scratch

I replicate firing orders and fundamental freqs of engines to achieve the sound I want

[drowsy leaf]

broken mod

remove it

[sour dew]

Probably a conflicting mod, the v70 mod works fine for me

[fallow iris]

well it just the eng thats not working

[fleet canyon]

i have a question about mods, some have just one file but some have files like "art, lua and common" where do i put those?

[sour dew]

Please tell me you haven’t been unzipping your mods…..

[cyan drum]

you're supposed to paste the zip as is

[fleet canyon]

yes but nothing shows up

i have winrar

does that break it?

[cyan drum]

what's the source of the mod

[fleet canyon]

i have these currently installed

[cyan drum]

why are they there???

[fleet canyon]

lmao wdym

[cyan drum]

who told you to put them there

[fleet canyon]

where are they supposed to bge

[cyan drum]

they go here

[fleet canyon]

oh

[cyan drum]

mods go in the... mods folder

[fleet canyon]

the cls worked without the lua over there

let me check

i feel so dumb, sorry, thank you for the help

[dry quarry]

First time ive seen someone put their mods in the cache folder

[fleet canyon]

it was a russian website and it was saying something about that folder

mustve said not to put them in there lol

[cyan drum]

well the issue is you're downloading mods from russian pages

which are 99% of the time not reputable at all

[young zenith]

Make it yourself

[dense jungle]

thats why you avoid 3rd party sites

the forums and repository are the only trustworthy ones

[fleet canyon]

yeah true but i mean it was worth it, its a quality mod

[cyan drum]

they're not

[fleet canyon]

id consider it pretty quality considering almost every button in the car is interactable and actually does what its supossed to do

plus it sounds good and drives well

[cyan drum]

that's what crappy modders want you to think

they don't even make the 3d models

[fleet canyon]

i dont get why youre even having this discussion with me, its a good mod, who cares if a russian made it?

[cyan drum]

and they're almost always not optimized models, that are mixed with vanilla bits

performance tanks quickly

[fleet canyon]

i dont have an issue with performance, this mod runs great

[cyan drum]

not only that but they don't even bother to make textures, not having bevels makes it look off

[fleet canyon]

its a free mod, you expect people to make perfect mods for free?

[cyan drum]

not that you'd care anyways since usually only modders notice these kind of stuff

[cyan drum]

making mods for free isn't an excuse to make bottom barrel tier mods with low effort

[fleet canyon]

this is NOT a low effort mod

you must be having a bad day

[cyan drum]

the gavril vertex, hirochi ccf, procyon centauri are all free mods with insanely good quality

hell even the ccf has a working screen if you're all for interior interactability

[fleet canyon]

yeah i dont care about those mods tho because i install mods to be able to play with real life cars

[cyan drum]

oh right you're one of those people

in that case have fun

[fleet canyon]

what does that mean "one of those people"

might consider taking this to the staff if youre gonna continue bringing in such a horrible mood here

surely being unfriendly is against the rules

if youre on your period get off discord and take a nap

[cyan drum]

I'm not a woman nor like to take naps
I said have fun
end of conversation

[thick niche]

oh gosh

[fleet canyon]

childish behaviour

[thick niche]

talkingbath isn't being childish

[fleet canyon]

unreasonable

clearly has something against russians

[thick niche]

no he doesn't quit being soft

[fleet canyon]

lmao how am i being soft

maybe stop riding

[thick niche]

maybe stop using mods made from kids that don't know what their doing.

[fleet canyon]

clearly the russian modder knows what hes doing

[thick niche]

shit mod

[fleet canyon]

i feel like youre gonna start crying if i keep arguing with you

yall are mad af over a cls mod

youre telling me thats not childish

[thick niche]

cool story guy

[fleet canyon]

be reasonable and let everyone do their own thing, you havent achieved shit

[thick niche]

have fun with your meshslapped modland mods

[fleet canyon]

keep riding

fits you

[cyan drum]

just let him have fun, people who fill their vehicle selector with modland mods aren't the ones who chase actual quality and usually choose gimmicks like interiors full of triggers or whatever's the trend among modland pseudomodders now

[fleet canyon]

id love to see you make a cls 63 mod

with this quality ofcv

[cyan drum]

I make what I like, mercedes cars not being part of that

[thick niche]

calls out one of the higher tier mod makers lol

[fleet canyon]

are you trying to impress anyone with that?

[thick niche]

it's just comical

[fleet canyon]

good job you made simple cars

old cars with nothing but metal engine seats and a steering wheel

[cyan drum]

well yeah I fully modeled them from scratch, a thing modland modders never learn

[fleet canyon]

try harder

[thick niche]

lol

[cyan drum]

have you ever touched a jbeam file

[thick niche]

nice try w/ the rage bait

[fleet canyon]

they look like free mods from modland what lmao

youre not proving anything here buddy

[thick niche]

don't need to, the amount of money he makes off of his paid wheel pack probably what you make in a year

[fleet canyon]

what does money have to do with this, they look shit lmao

i wouldnt call this a "high tier modder"

[cyan drum]

can your modland mods do all of this?

(spoiler alert: most do not)

at most they have openable windows

[fleet canyon]

idk if they do, i have like 5 mods

idk what youre trying to prove

[cyan drum]

well yeah then don't talk shit if you don't know

[fleet canyon]

im not your parent and youre not 5 years old, youre not making painting of a house here youre making mods so im straight with you, your mods look shit

get your game up, i aint a modder but ive seen mods from modland that look 10x better

[cyan drum]

elaborate on how so

just because it's not a mercedes doggystyle 3000 doesn't mean it's automatically shit

[fleet canyon]

i never said that, i appreciate old classic cars

but i appreciate them when they are high quality

this isnt bad but its not great

[cyan drum]

explain what your criteria is for high quality

[fleet canyon]

better than this..?

the edges look disgusting

they look like something from a minecraft mod

[thick niche]

https://tenor.com/view/smooth-brain-gif-13983164398694002589

[cyan drum]

it has been fully textured from scratch referencing real pictures and a mix of vanilla content

[fleet canyon]

here comes your boyfriend again

[cyan drum]

I'm not too close to him

[fleet canyon]

that doesnt change anything

i could say i built a car from scratch but the engine can still suck ass

[thick niche]

dude probably can't even make a skin.

[fleet canyon]

nope i cant

now what?

are you gonna scold me?

[cyan drum]

the mods you download look shit, are way too highpoly, are poorly optimized, usually have just flat materials which look off, and usually just mix and butcher the mechanicals off of vanilla cars

[fleet canyon]

well guess what, the mods i downloaded look better than yours, so you still havent proven anything

[cyan drum]

no one else would agree with you

[fleet canyon]

thats fine, its currently you and your boyfriend, there would need to be way more people to give an opinion

[cyan drum]

I just said he's not fucking close to me at all

[fleet canyon]

like i said, youre mod is not bad, but its not perfect

[thick niche]

yeah, we aren't close.

barely even talked to each other before

i just like his mods, because of the quality

[fleet canyon]

you do you, and i like the mod of the russian guy because of its quality

considering its off of some russian website

[thick niche]

why you keep saying russian, why's russian matter

[fleet canyon]

because he mentioned that at the beginning

my bad someone else did, thats my mistake

[gilded cosmos]

Make sure you're using the correct FMOD event in your blend file. These were updated quite a while ago. The old "Default" event is out of date. There are three new ones:

"mod_engine" for a front engine
"mod_engine_rear" for a rear engine
"mod_exhaust" for a rear exhaust.

The reason is for spacialisation - the exhaust is brighter when pointing at the camera rather than away from the camera, for example, plus there are things happening when the vehicle is at distance from the camera/listener.

This also means you can have both engine and exhaust sounds spacialised in a better way. These "new" events also have different maximum distances, so the engine sounds will fade off over a closer distance than exhausts.

[cyan drum]

just for the sake of it I'm gonna prove you wrong
first off, there is absolutely no right for a car mod to be nearly a gigabyte, the gavril vertex has over 1000+ parts and yet still remains around 200mb or so
it took around 2 whole minutes to spawn and it's broken lmao

[fleet canyon]

idk what car that is but my cls mod has 500mb

[cyan drum]

this looks out of roblox, no textures, just plain color materials, no beveled normals, also some z-fighting, clipping mechanicals, unnecessary doubleSided materials (tanks performance), strange inverting when roof collapses, once again mechanicals that look straight out of roblox, floating seats after hard crashing

[cyan drum]

it's the same author so I assumed they were the same, there is probably not much difference anyways lmao

[fleet canyon]

idk what ur yapping about but im having dinner

i just disagree with you

nice talking to you

[cyan drum]

ok

it just crashed my game lmao

[dense jungle]

thats an insult to roblox cars

then again majority of the free model cars there are the exact same models just ripped

[cyan drum]

the adjective might just be right at that point

[fleet canyon]

alright so idk what you installed but come back when you installed the right mod

its just funny to me that you get this mad because i said i like a car mod

[cyan drum]

no I cba to install another piece of shit by someone who managed to output such mod like I showed above

[fleet canyon]

maybe if you stopped playing on a laptop from 2010 itd work 🤯

[cyan drum]

I have 32gb of ram and an i7 11800h, this is no laptop from 2010

[dense jungle]

before straight up insulting an actual modder, i'd suggest you have at least one attempt at making a mod yourself before you start throwing the insults

[fleet canyon]

well thats that a personal issue

[fleet canyon]

another boyfriend coming for defense, stop riding his meat and maybe grow up before throwing random shit at me

[cyan drum]

once again, I barely even know him at all

[dense jungle]

and throwing insults again, no surprise there

[fleet canyon]

do you even know what happened?

[cyan drum]

what the fuck is your problem with having people defend me with solid arguments lol

[fleet canyon]

alright let me just ask you something

and i want you to really think about it

[dense jungle]

you installed a shit mod and are getting way too defensive about it, and you are not the first nor the last person to do that

[fleet canyon]

was it really necessary to hate because i liked a mod from some website?

[cyan drum]

was it necessary to call my mods shit before I even attacked you?

[fleet canyon]

alright be quiet and stay in the back seat

[dense jungle]

its a public chat

[fleet canyon]

oh hold up, apparently im "one of these people"

because i enjoy playing with real life car mods

not very reasonable or nice

[cyan drum]

yeah, the ones who are delusional about real cars mods, the ones that whenever you show arguments on how modland mods are bad say, "nope your mods are shit mercedes doggystyle 3000 is better, don'tcaremayt"

[dense jungle]

theres nothing wrong with real car mods, there are plenty of good ones

Its defending the slop thats posted on 3rd party sites and getting super defensive about it

[cyan drum]

not the first time I've had this kind of experiences

[dense jungle]

the 3rd party sites that there is no reason to be posting on as well

[fleet canyon]

was i getting defensive about it? or was i just stating my own opinion, i like the mod because its well made? i dont see a problem, yet someone does because they are possibly having a bad day?

i dont really connect the dots here

[dense jungle]

also throwing insults too

[cyan drum]

I'm not having a bad day

you threw insults, so did I after you

[fleet canyon]

who did first tho?

be honest

[cyan drum]

you did the first big attack

[fleet canyon]

so "one of these people" who are "delusional" is not an insult?

[drowsy leaf]

oh another of these dumbass meshslap people

as usual

[fleet canyon]

?

[drowsy leaf]

another crappy russian meshslap dickrider i mean

[fleet canyon]

i installed one mod from a russian website and that makes me a russian dickrider

[dense jungle]

id call that being defensive

[fleet canyon]

make that make sense

[dense jungle]

one more

[drowsy leaf]

you are trying to prove the quality of a random mod to someone that knows how to made actual mods

= dickriding

[fleet canyon]

keep riding on your boyfriend

[dense jungle]

and another insult

are you in denial?

[drowsy leaf]

the only riding i see is you with that cls

[fleet canyon]

the person that made this mod actually brings out regular updates to that mod, i wouldnt call it crappy

[cyan drum]

what a low bar

[dense jungle]

that doesnt mean anything, it could be a change to a mesh every week, that doesnt mean its not shit

[drowsy leaf]

updating your mod is like the minimum snotfish~1

[fleet canyon]

whats the maximum?

[drowsy leaf]

doing every part of the mod yourself and outdoing the developers in terms of content and quality

[dense jungle]

once again, id suggest you try and attempt to make a mod first before defending meshslaps

[drowsy leaf]

instead of taking etk800 and putting a 3d model you got off somewhere

[fleet canyon]

how do you know that person hasnt done everything himselfm

[cyan drum]

because that's clearly not beamng modeling style, it's way too highpoly

[drowsy leaf]

the model is way too highpoly and improperly made for beamng

[fleet canyon]

why would i? i dont make mods and dont plan on making mods, youre not making sense

[cyan drum]

also the engine has modeled internals, no one does that for beamng lol

[dawn tiger]

Bro I have had this argument with these people but anything you get from a Russian website is probably not good at all especially if it's kenemation Wich most of those mods are since they are never on the forums

[drowsy leaf]

if you modeled it yourself youd atleast consider modeling correctly for what you are making

[drowsy leaf]

WHAT?¿

[dense jungle]

because you dont know what you are talking about by calling garbage, high quality

[cyan drum]

unless you're necronomic

[drowsy leaf]

brother who the fuck models engine internals ON A BEAMNG MOD

[cyan drum]

yeah but it's just flat shaded cylinder extrusions where the pistons are, and lots of clipping

[waxen lichen]

🍿

[fleet canyon]

thing is, i was just saying its a pretty good mod, dont know why they got so pressed

[drowsy leaf]

so its not even good model internals snotfish~1

[dense jungle]

because it isnt

[dawn tiger]

Someone in the showcase made working internals for a Honda engine

[fleet canyon]

cant even keep up with you guys

[cyan drum]

once again the one who ripped didn't even bother clicking the shade smooth button, one of blender's most fundamental features

[latent ivy]

just ignore them
but if you really want to download from russian sites, do it at your own risk

[dense jungle]

thats our point, these mods are low quality meshslap slop

[drowsy leaf]

well yeah but the entire point of that mod is to have functoning internals

[dawn tiger]

True true

[drowsy leaf]

this one clearly doesnt have proper functional internals

and its actually like optimized for beamng

[dense jungle]

honestly its like theyre getting paid

[drowsy leaf]

no i do this for free

pay me if you want i cant say no to money

[fleet canyon]

seen this mod a couple times on YouTube, great mod

[dense jungle]

every single person who gets a meshslap and then is called out on it for free, its all the same arguments and ignorance

[dense jungle]

no i meant the meshslap users

[drowsy leaf]

oh then yeah i thought you were attacking me which makes no sense

[dense jungle]

🤷‍♂️

[cyan drum]

it's not a shit mod, prove it
proves it
says it's good anyways with complete ignorance to the proof that's it's not good at all

[drowsy leaf]

^^

[cyan drum]

average modus operandi

[drowsy leaf]

like at least admit it if you asked for it

[fleet canyon]

you dont need to prove anything tho, ive been using this mod for hours

[dawn tiger]

Probably also using a leaked paid mod if it's from a Russian website

[fleet canyon]

and so far its great

[waxen lichen]

how much to glaze my mod everywhere

[cyan drum]

fiddy buc

[dawn tiger]

Free yours is awesome lol

[drowsy leaf]

hello can u send mod i don leek 🙏

[waxen lichen]

thank you 🙂

[drowsy leaf]

hello gais what the correct awnser

[waxen lichen]

five

[dawn tiger]

All of the above lol

[fleet canyon]

car looks great, sounds great, interior is ok, engine compartment looks good, doors open, you showed me the underside of the car, i aint gonna be driving that shit upside down😂

[cyan drum]

none of these are done by the author lmao

[dawn tiger]

Then you have never played beam if you never see the bottom of a car

[cyan drum]

engine bay is painfully highpoly full of sharp edges

I would've shown it if the mod even worked at all

[fleet canyon]

i dont care about that tho you dont get it!! im saying the mod is great overall

[drowsy leaf]

wait that engine is from a fucking american muscle care
thats a pushrod v8
you see the red thing is the timing cover snotfish~1

[fleet canyon]

idk havent played for thousands of hours

[cyan drum]

it's not, objectively.

say what you want, but it's objectively just bad

[fleet canyon]

thats your own opinion, my opinion is its great

[cyan drum]

my argument is no opinion, it's straight up facts lol

[dawn tiger]

I make mods and I don't have people claim they are perfect I know mine are not great except my sub mod it's pretty lit but I also don't charge for my not so good mods

[cyan drum]

an opinion won't change how shit the engine looks

[fleet canyon]

you didnt even download the same mod lmao

[drowsy leaf]

brother you dont even know where to correctly install mods

your opinion is as worthless as hair that fell off my head

[fleet canyon]

oooo great argument there, what does that change tho

[cyan drum]

there isn't even big differences betwen the average modland mod quality lol

[drowsy leaf]

if you dont know what you are talking about
dont talk

[fleet canyon]

there is

[cyan drum]

modland mod quality can only get worse from here, excluding the broken mod part

[fleet canyon]

how about you dont talk? was nicer without you

[drowsy leaf]

in fact there is!
the "good" modland mods are generally stolen or leaked mods!

[fleet canyon]

i never said all the mods from modland are good, i know modland mods are shit, ive played this game since it came out, this modland mod is great, rare sight

[drowsy leaf]

ok how about you dont talk
it was nicer without you around

[fleet canyon]

you should stop dickriding

[dawn tiger]

Played the game since it have out but don't have a thousand hours and don't know where to install mods?

[cyan drum]

says who

[drowsy leaf]

dickriding what
my own opinion?

you are the one dickriding the shitty mod not me

[fleet canyon]

i do have a life yk, maybe im a reasonable human and can admit that i forgot how to install mods

[drowsy leaf]

youve been shown proof that the mod is not great yet you still say it is
if thats not dickriding then brother

[fleet canyon]

so having an opinion about one mod is dickriding?

[cyan drum]

without any proof yeah pretty much

it's just blindfolded dickriding

[fleet canyon]

1. you have the wrong mod
2. i have the mod and its been great

[drowsy leaf]

send it

[cyan drum]

source: trust me bro

[drowsy leaf]

send the link in dms

[fleet canyon]

i dont have the link, im not on my pc

[drowsy leaf]

upload it to google drive if you feel like

you can access your browser history on your phone

[waxen lichen]

auto caps off on phone is diabolical

[fleet canyon]

if you have your browser connected to you google account

[fleet canyon]

huh

[dawn tiger]

You can also just look it up

[fleet canyon]

i found it on a youtube video

there was a link, i wont find it by just searching it up

[drowsy leaf]

then go to your youtube history

[cyan drum]

found it, see dms

[olive spire]

I’m here to give another opinion to say that you are wrong

[fleet canyon]

i watched that many hours ago, im not scrolling through allat

[fleet canyon]

wdym

[cyan drum]

and this is yet another person I barely know before you drop the boyfriend card

[drowsy leaf]

you see the licence plate on your car
what does it say

[olive spire]

About his mods being bad and that Mercedes being good

[fleet canyon]

getting old, wont say it this time

[cyan drum]

yeah because it's wrong lol

[dawn tiger]

Was never young bruh

[cyan drum]

if multiple people agree on a statement and you're the only one disagreeing maybe you're the issue

[fleet canyon]

i said they were shit at the beginning because i was kinda pissed, admitted they arent bad later on, whats your point?

[cyan drum]

"all my exes were crazy" type thing

[drowsy leaf]

can you confirm what it says here

[waxen lichen]

better quality than that merc fo sho

[dawn tiger]

I have had my share of arguments with lichi and TheTalkingBath but I agree with them bro

[fleet canyon]

multiple modders who pay attention to detail, i dont

[fleet canyon]

thats fine, im not here to argue with anyone because they have their own opinion

[cyan drum]

yep you're the issue

[drowsy leaf]

i can safely say that bath i and brokenbraincells are the only modders
the other 2 are not modders

[olive spire]

you still think the Mercedes is better whether you want that secret or not

[fleet canyon]

exterior definitely looks better, interior probably not and idk about engine compartment because he hasnt shown me that

[cyan drum]

seems like it is the same mod this time

[drowsy leaf]

anyways yeah the mod bath has has the exact same licenceplate as the one on your picture, and the guy that made it has made some awful ass mods
he also tried to sell a bunch of shitty mods in the forums and i helped and i think i contributed to him getting banned

[dawn tiger]

Bruh even calls it a potato

[fleet canyon]

his had 900mb mine had 500mb so i guessed it was thw wrong one

[cyan drum]

"don'tcaremayt, mod is good"

[olive spire]

yeah see my point your outnumbered in opinions and your can’t give a proper reason why the outside is better

[drowsy leaf]

its 586

probably if you open it with 7zip it will say that the unzipped contents are 800 megabytes

thats how uh
zip compression works

[dawn tiger]

If it isn't on the forums or in the showcase it's not good can't change my mind or at least a reputable modder

[fleet canyon]

what does outnumbered in opinions mean, this isnt a boxing match. the reason is because i like the look of that car more, plus like i said at some point his car has rough edges on the exterior which even i noticed even tho i dont look into detail

[fleet canyon]

yeah then its the right one

its not about if hes a reputable modder or if he made it by using meshes or whatever you said, its about that the mod is good and that i like it

its not perfect

but its not bad

[olive spire]

outnumbered means people don’t agree with you and it’s pretty much a fact that his is better. You can like the look of that car better that’s fine but the reason his car has rough edges it’s because that’s how the cars he makes are irl.

[dawn tiger]

🤦‍♂️

[fleet canyon]

ive never seen a classic car have rought edges around the fender

[olive spire]

That is wild

[fleet canyon]

i mean i have, but clearly it wasnt supposed to be

the edges were clearly not intentional

[olive spire]

it is rough metal made to simply work it’s gonna be rough

[drowsy leaf]

you see, this is a vehicle
the round edges we are talking about are where the panel ends

[fleet canyon]

its not, im not gonna assume if youve seen a classic camaro or dodge or whatever, but the fender do not look like that

[olive spire]

It’s fine if you like it but ya still can’t explain why it’s factually good

[fleet canyon]

i cant explain it in modder language

[drowsy leaf]

you see the panels on the cybertruck, they dont end smoothly and are sharp
this is the only car i know that has these sharp edges, your mercedes mod, shouldnt

[dawn tiger]

They do have rounded edges?

[drowsy leaf]

circle the part you think is weird

[fleet canyon]

i can explain it in my own language, it looks nice, nd it looks like quality from the outside

alright hold on

[barren magnet]

because it’s scratch made specifically for beamng

[olive spire]

Yeah it don’t look rough

[drowsy leaf]

oh you mean the crhome trim? thats just a stylistic choice on his end

[barren magnet]

not a random high poly model they found

which are not optimized for beam

[dawn tiger]

Made for beam for performance

[fleet canyon]

okay but in game it looks like that?

[bronze shard]

i assume they were talking about the low poly wheel wells looking a bit goofy. not much you can do, even with great normals. you just end up compromising the crash model

[fleet canyon]

yeah see, im not on about performance, im saying the car LOOKS good

i spawn one car and drive around for hours

i look at it, take pictures

[drowsy leaf]

well yeah but if you are making a mod youd rather have people be able to use it thats why good modders focus on performance even if you sometimes need to sacrifice on looks

[fleet canyon]

i dont crash the cars as often

[drowsy leaf]

consider playing gta5 modded

[fleet canyon]

then theres 2 sides of beamng modders, quality and performance

[fleet canyon]

why would i do that

[drowsy leaf]

has driving looks good many more cars and much better and bigger maps

[bronze shard]

performance is part of quality. performance vs looks would be better lmao

[drowsy leaf]

if you are looking for a driving game with good sounds just download a manual transmission mod for gta5 and a fuckton of mods

[cyan drum]

plus fenders with high poly count are way harder to get to shade well

[olive spire]

i dont even think it looks rough

[fleet canyon]

its not realistic, i drive a real car and sometimes i like to sit down and enjoy driving cars i cant own yet its pretty simple

[cyan drum]

I could make them higher poly but it'd ruin the flow completely

[drowsy leaf]

tho i would add an extra loop there

[fleet canyon]

that why i dont care about performance but quality

[barren magnet]

this is genuinely the most braindead take i’ve seen in this server and that’s really saying something

[drowsy leaf]

driving a glorified etk800 isnt realistic either

[dawn tiger]

Good looks and performance good and crashes good

[drowsy leaf]

im not allowing you to say that until you remove that 2500 badge thats modeled :p

[dawn tiger]

Not 100 finished jbeaming tho so no hate lol talking about lichi and bath lol

[fleet canyon]

i dont see no etk800. i see a cls 63

[drowsy leaf]

how dare you 0/100

[olive spire]

just because a fender is not exactly how you want it dont mean its worse...

[drowsy leaf]

i see omg_potxto being the mod maker and i see a bad driving mod

[fleet canyon]

just because the inside of the engine compartment isnt exactly perfect doesnt me its a shit mod

[cyan drum]

it's not perfect, it's the complete opposite

[dawn tiger]

I suck at baking things lol but I'm working on it

[cyan drum]

it's barely an engine, it's a glorified cube

[barren magnet]

the entire structure is ripped from a vanilla car, loosely edited and shit out for people that have zero understanding how things work to play with and think they’re good

[fleet canyon]

you people are very very immature ill give you that

[drowsy leaf]

im talking about the code that makes the driving phisics being ripped from the etk800 and being badly adapted to fit the shape of a cls

[olive spire]

well probably has bad jbeam so that does mean its shit and also the jbeam of that fender is better the weight of that fender is more on point to irl and it has better reflections

[fleet canyon]

i dont even know what all of that means YOURE NOT PROVING ANYTHING... im literally just saying the car mod looks good and i like it, whyr you getting so pressed about that

[drowsy leaf]

what you are saying doesnt make much sense

[fleet canyon]

like i really SERIOUSLY dont understand

[dawn tiger]

Because you said it's a great mod which is verifiably false

[olive spire]

how does it not make sense...

[drowsy leaf]

you are talking about jbeam of fenders and reflections and weird shit
we arent talking about that

[fleet canyon]

its great, its not exquisite, its not perfect, its not the best, its. a. good. mod.

[latent ivy]

i think we need to ping the mods because this argument's being dragged on for far too long

[olive spire]

cause im explaining why its good dont turn into only a looks guy please

[dawn tiger]

No we are discussing mods b4uh

[drowsy leaf]

for what? we are discussing, no big deal

i think im going to start ripping models from grand turismo and selling them off as beamng mods theres so much money to be made being a grifter ❤️

[latent ivy]

okay

[drowsy leaf]

sadly i have morals 💔

[fleet canyon]

that would be considered scamming

[dawn tiger]

Don't even have to rip em lol people have already some the hard work for free so you can make m oney off em

[barren magnet]

which 95% of people selling those mods are doing

[cyan drum]

there

[barren magnet]

regardless of whether you got yours for free

[drowsy leaf]

yeah i know
thats what the mod creator of your mod did , not the cls mid you, but hes done that

[fleet canyon]

tell them that, not me, i installed a free mod

[olive spire]

thats fine if you like it and think it looks good but thats an opinion this is better functionally

[thick niche]

here we go again

[fleet canyon]

thats not my fault tho is it. i installed a cls mod to drive around and enjoy

[barren magnet]

gazelle progress moment

[cyan drum]

yeah now time to abandon it for 2 more months

[drowsy leaf]

yeah what i said is nothing regarding your mod

[fleet canyon]

see now were getting somewhere

youre becoming more reasonable

[olive spire]

still has better headlights and he fixed fenders

[thick niche]

first of all lets understand something we can all agree here

[fleet canyon]

thats fine, it has probably better interior too

[thick niche]

mercedes is a shiet car brand

[cyan drum]

rims are the trend anyways

[fleet canyon]

disagreed

[drowsy leaf]

bros got the star shaped clockwise 553

[cyan drum]

553 but actually good

[olive spire]

ive been the same i just had to clearly seperate fact and opinion for you

[fleet canyon]

i mean, now it is, use to be one of the best

[dawn tiger]

I don't even have your mod but have recommended it so many times to people lol cause I see it all the time in MFD

[drowsy leaf]

they made the first generation A class,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it all went downhill from there

[fleet canyon]

couldve done it differently tho

[cyan drum]

yeah and also

this disgrace exists

[fleet canyon]

the a class sucks ass thats true

but you cant say the same about e class, s class, c class and so on

[cyan drum]

and whatever else electric scra0 they've made in the past years

[dawn tiger]

Looks like a ford focus stretched

[olive spire]

looks like a bug that got stepped on and then stretched back up again

[fleet canyon]

thats why im saying now its a shit brand like most other brands, they use to make cars of the highest quality and performance

but these days its all about quantity

[drowsy leaf]

ill take a w124 thank oyu

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @fleet canyon (current: #1327 - 1)

[dawn tiger]

Bro the bot picks up spelling errors?

[fleet canyon]

thats what im saying, the cars they use to make will never be made this good ever again

i have a 20 year old mercedes and comparing it to the new ones is like comparing a ferrari to a bike

[drowsy leaf]

yes

so then mercedes was good

[fleet canyon]

thats what i said

[drowsy leaf]

oh i missed that then

[fleet canyon]

i said its all about quantity these days, they dont care about quality that much anymore, everything squeeks and makes all kind of noise

90% plastic

[olive spire]

kinda relating to mod thing :/

[drowsy leaf]

hi there ! i want 200000 plastic oilpans thankyou

[olive spire]

wont even last 100k miles you need twice that

[fleet canyon]

i know modland mods are shit, im just saying i enjoy that mod because to me it looks good. i dont look into detail, i like cls and its an enjoyable car for me to drive around

[drowsy leaf]

k this time the topic is over so just leave it

[fleet canyon]

bruh

[thick niche]

i'd rather drive a ford k car than any merc

[fleet canyon]

dont worry with that attitude i dont think youll drive a merc anyway

[thick niche]

you right, i drive real cars

[fleet canyon]

so do i

[thick niche]

real slow cars XD

[drowsy leaf]

i wish i could own something like that

[fleet canyon]

a real car guy knows that a good car doesnt need to be fast

[thick niche]

7L that makes like 120 hp lol

[cyan drum]

insanity

[thick niche]

one of these days i'll get a real engine in it

[fleet canyon]

that is a proper engine

[drowsy leaf]

well yea but im probably gonna end up with a 0L 20hp turbo shitbox because insurance

[cyan drum]

I still wish to own an atom tbh

[dawn tiger]

2jz swap it for the memes

[thick niche]

it would take alot to get the hp out of it, by then i could easily get a ls for the cost of the performance i would want out of the original engine

[drowsy leaf]

my dream car(s) are a 94 GT-Four and a 89 M645CSI

very different things

[fleet canyon]

dont put an ls in it, especially if its got the original engine keep it like that its a cruising car

[olive spire]

a bot muted me check dms

[thick niche]

well right now its blown up so

[drowsy leaf]

maybe put in a more classic engine
ls swap kinda boring

[olive spire]

i aint say anything bad but ig it aint gonna let me say it here

[drowsy leaf]

@thick niche wait wait
triton v10 from them fords
that probably fits right

or a viper one if you are rich

[thick niche]

shit, anything would fit in tthat bay. I can live in it if i wanted lol.

[cyan drum]

a turbo blasting your left ear sounds fun

or right ear if the wheel is on the correct side

[drowsy leaf]

put in a ford ecoboost 1.0, especifically the version that has a wet timing belt that destroys itself

[fleet canyon]

how do you blow up a 7l engine with 120hp

[cyan drum]

oh it's supercharged

[thick niche]

it's a 70's car, most of these was lucky to get to 70k miles without rebuild

[drowsy leaf]

does it have 20bajillion vaccum hoses for emmissions

[fleet canyon]

thats crazy i thought they were mostly reliable due to their huge engines making less hp than a golf

[cyan drum]

oops! all leaks

[dawn tiger]

Torque is a killer

[thick niche]

it does litterally have 5 vacuum canisters

[drowsy leaf]

that thing probably had 2 torque

[thick niche]

and yes about a million vacuum lines

[fleet canyon]

mostly for the transmisson though

[drowsy leaf]

mmm yes old transmissions
bombs

[thick niche]

what i do not like, is friggen brake booster is also for power steering. hydro boost system

failure in the power steering is failure in power brakes

[drowsy leaf]

thats semi clever for cost savings

very bad idea tho

[fleet canyon]

the last thing you need on a tank like that is the brakes

and the speedometer

[cyan drum]

you'd need a calendar instead

[thick niche]

just waiting for the heads to come back from machining. Hope to have it ready for summer

[fleet canyon]

cruising around with that in summer is a dream to me

america is truly a sandbox

[thick niche]

i got it for like 2500 off of some crack head lol

[cyan drum]

lmao

[fleet canyon]

damn, i paid 10k for my car and it got half of your engine

would trade it for that

[thick niche]

be prepared to spend 100 usd in gas every 3 days

[drowsy leaf]

america got cheapish cars but everything else
id rather not

[fleet canyon]

would love to do that, considering gas here is twice as expensive

[drowsy leaf]

well cheapish cars as in buying them, ignoring them being abandoned in a barn for for 50 odd years

[fleet canyon]

i was considering getting a dodge ram imported from america

just to piss of the green politicians
