[ebon saddle]

Avg meshlap

[cyan drum]

and it's very damn good

[cyan drum]

we don't count those, they're barely real mods at all

[drowsy leaf]

worst mod in the entire game 0/10 should be banned garbage it uih very bad
reason? no real car1!!!11!1111

[charred tundra]

are you modders alright do you guys need help 2 full years is crazy

[drowsy leaf]

why doi you think most modders abandon so many projects

[cyan drum]

the fact this can be heard as an actual reasoning is wild tbh

[drowsy leaf]

it takes an insane amount of will to be able to finish a proper car mod

[charred tundra]

do you guys even make money out of this

[cyan drum]

I do

[drowsy leaf]

most ? no, some? like not even half what they would be paid with a real job

[ebon saddle]

The Avior is a Paid mod, so was the Cherrier Van (I forgor the name)

[cyan drum]

just not 100% with cars

[ebon saddle]

True

[cyan drum]

scout

[ebon saddle]

Ah ye, the scout

[charred tundra]

so like working 2 years is just a hobby then

[ebon saddle]

And even the new Barstow is paid

[drowsy leaf]

for example the brain eating amoeba that goes by the name of @cyan drum has spent like 4 years with his buggy

[drowsy leaf]

yes

[barren magnet]

they do it because they mostly enjoy it

[ebon saddle]

Yes, a very very in depth, time consuming hobby

[cyan drum]

tried eating your brain but I died of starvation

[charred tundra]

Wow you guys are interesting

[drowsy leaf]

thats why we dont take requests
only reason we mod mainly is we like what we do

[dense jungle]

my mod #1328522608601469049 is slow right now and thats a simple mod in comparison

[drowsy leaf]

theres no real reason why ive modded a celica 3 times and failed 3 times
i just really like celicas

[cyan drum]

also trying not to fully abandon this thing

[dense jungle]

same here (please help)

[charred tundra]

is there a website which has 2024 innova i want it so bad 😭

[cyan drum]

nope

[drowsy leaf]

a what

[charred tundra]

oh ye it isnt a american thing

[cyan drum]

some obscure japanese shitbox probably

[drowsy leaf]

@charred tundra https://www.beamng.com/resources/2022-procyon-centauri.24393/

closest youll get

[charred tundra]

ooo

[charred fjord]

How do BeamNG devs make these maps? Do they somehow export the generated terrain into Blender and then create these kind of overlaying objects. Or do they create these objects first and then conform the terrain onto these objects 🤔 Because in order to make these curbs and all kind of stuff, they have to know the position, terrain and all kind of stuff while modeling

[limpid trench]

Anyone know a good speedometer mod

I want one that shows my actual speed

[silent loom]

Hey guys, someone has a cool truck mod like these ones?

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/clear-car-trailer.19633/ the 3rd one just use the H series

[fading locust]

anyone who mods i need help

[drowsy leaf]

yes?

[fading locust]

i cant figure out how to get jbeams to show up in blender

i can import them but they remain invisible

[barren magnet]

are you using the blender jbeam editor to import them?

[limpid trench]

any good speedometer mods that show airspeed

like I want one that shows everything but instead of wheel speed shows airspeed

[frank cove]

They probably make the heightmap in blender too. At least a large majority of it.

But you can probably export the terrain heightmap you have made in beam, and then import it into blender

[dawn tiger]

Importing it to blender will be extremely laggy so let it load lol

[charred fjord]

🤔 hmm. Well i tried to model a terrain, bake it to a height map in order to use it as that. But i need to figure out the scale of the plane that i bake, so the baked texture matches the size of the scene in the software. So i have the same map 1:1 in the 3d software. Also i am wondering about the position values. Like if they have some script to import it automatically since you otherwise would then have paste every number manually when you created an object in Blender or what ever and want to have it exactly there in BeamNG

[frank cove]

Set the origin of the object to 0 in blender, and make sure 0,0 is the same in you map.

It will then all import correctly

As for terrain scale, you can set that up when you make the terrain. The pure white color value will be the max height that you set

You can then scale accordingly in Blender to that height

[charred fjord]

I mean like, i can model a small terrain bake it to let's say 4k texture. But i could also model a terrain that is large as the italy map and bake it to 4k. Idk how large my baked plane should be in order to match the size perfectly with the default values if you know what i mean. Let's say i would overlay the baked plane from the italy sized terrain model over the small island. In the bake ther would be a lot of areas in the texture of nothing (ocean) because the bake plane is scaled up to match the bigger terrain mesh.

And as far as i know, Beam only supports one terrain texture right? The rest is just modeled. But on Italy the entire map seems to be just the terrain texture. No additional terrain mesh

While other maps use a mix of both to extend the map

[limpid trench]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/dragy-ng-motorsport.31942/

anyone have the imperial version of this before I port it myself

[dawn tiger]

It says in the description it does mph

[frank cove]

Italy is a 4k map. All height maps must be 2 to the power of something. Typically total size is 2048 or 4096 (2^11/ 2^12), but you can go as large as 8192. As a base value 1 pixel = 1 meter, but this can be adjusted. It is not recommended you go any larger that 1:1 scaling, but 1:0.66 for example can be good for extra terrain fidelity if you need it (such as Johnson Valley)

I honestly do not know what you mean by baked plane so hopefully this helps.

Most maps terrain block ends as soon as it gets into the ocean

The only reason maps such as WCUSA use mesh terrain is because they were originally smaller maps (2048x2048 in the case of WCUSA) and they were expanded beyond the size of the terrain block

[limpid trench]

oh idk how I missed that, I think I had a different version pulled up

anyone know a mod with AI's street racing

like just randomly

[frank cove]

Like not in missions?

[limpid trench]

yea

[frank cove]

Because my map Xero has some AI street races with random opponents but they are missions

To my knowledge it either does not exist or is not possible to have random street race encounters in free roam

[charred fjord]

I know that each pixel means 1 meter but that is where it get's confusing. Because the higher the texture quality, the more detail will remain ofc. But at the same time i can size the bake plane to like anything i want. Unless there is some knowledge of how large my plane should be. By bake plane i mean. When you model a terrain, you bake it to a texture to let BeamNG generate the mesh out of it by baking it as a height map. The plane is just a simple plane mesh that is used to bake the polygons onto the texture. Just the simple mesh to texture baking process. Maybe i can show you what i mean in software. I must say i am not good a math so i may don't see something 😅

[frank cove]

963, Nice. Good luck jbeaming a LMDh, I hope you can pull it off 🙂

[frank cove]

4096 x 4096 is the largest supported size. 8192 x 8192 is the largest you can go before the game (and computers) have issues

[charred fjord]

So should be the bake plane 4096 meters in size?

[frank cove]

If you size it as 1x2 for example you can have a very large map, but the terrain will be noticably rough/jagged

[frank cove]

Depends what size map you want

If you want an Italy sized map yes

If you want a ECUSA sized map, 2048 is the size you need

[charred fjord]

Ah this is what i mean. Idk yet how large i want to have my map so i just wanted to know how much space i have (boundaries before having to use mesh terrain)

[frank cove]

2048 x 2048 is 2.048 km x 2.048 km for a size estimate. This assumes 1:1 scaling

1024 x 1024 is somewhat common too for smaller maps such as Industrial Site or Small Island USA in the base game

If you need a map in between sizes I would recommend going larger and then downscaling the ratio of pixels to meters, like Johnson Valley does

JV is technically a 4096 map but is downscaled by 1:0.75 for finer terrain fidelity in the offroad areas

[charred fjord]

Interesting. That clears a lot of up. Thanks 👍

[limpid trench]

how come when I edit a mod's code, the mod no longer operates?

like just trying to edit a UI mod, the option doesn't show up anymore

I've tried unzipping, editing, rezipping, or just editing the zip directly

[fading locust]

i believe so because i click file import then jbeam

[dawn tiger]

Wheich jbeam are youo trying to import and are they in an unpacked folder

[fading locust]

the racetruck j beam and i have a foulderr for the project

[upper pumice]

you should unpack the mod via the repository, then after each edit do F5

[limpid trench]

ah ok, then just repack the edits?

[upper pumice]

yep

[dawn tiger]

like its just called racetruck cause if so thats not an actual jbeam with nodes and beams you need to do the frame the body the suspension and all the parts

[limpid trench]

what is f5

[upper pumice]

you can leave it unpacked to work on it

[limpid trench]

oh, do I ever need to repack it?

[dawn tiger]

a button on your keyboard that says f5

[upper pumice]

no

[limpid trench]

I meant what does the actual bind do

[dawn tiger]

refreshes the ui

[dawn tiger]

you need all of these the racetruck jbeam just defines the car being a car there aernt any nodes or beams

[fading locust]

where do i get those

[dawn tiger]

from the same folder you got the racetruck jbeam

[misty onyx]

i play roblox

roblox studio😢

[dawn tiger]

ewwwwwwwwwww

[fading locust]

ahhhhhhhh

[misty onyx]

i make cool stuff mayun😭

[limpid trench]

is it possible to edit the default UI stuff

I want to change it from wheel speed to air speed on the default tacho

[upper pumice]

its definetly possible but it requires some basic understanding of the code

and structure of ui apps

[limpid trench]

yeah I just meant actually finding the app itself to edit

I edited enhanced tachometer mod instead, I like this

[upper pumice]

yeah

[dawn tiger]

Whats the point of this?

[quick crow]

real g's just use BeamNG for Youtube without ads

[dawn tiger]

Lol hell yea ive been trying to make youtube work as a clickable html material i have it working just not clickable yet and im lost af lol

[plain drift]

release it please

[quick crow]

might do lol, i may make a rickroll mod that just rickrolls you every time you start the game and returns

[dawn tiger]

there is already a ui app for watching youtube in beamhttps://www.beamng.com/resources/youtube-player-eol.14769/

[plain drift]

W idea

[fading locust]

i think that the jbeam might be the hardest part of the whole thing

[quick crow]

yeah i remember that, how did you solve the fullscreen issue tho?

[copper copper]

Wow didn't even know that was a thing

[dawn tiger]

I didnt either untill i went on a deep dive tryna make my youtube work as a material lol

[copper copper]

So long wasted trying to figure it out where this was there

[limpid trench]

is there something I'm missing? it's not an option in the mod list

[dawn tiger]

nah its completely different cant put ui apps onto a material

[limpid trench]

app.png is an empty file, not sure if that matters

just made sure and gave it an actual image still not working

[dawn tiger]

Have you read the docs? Maybe they can tell you something we cant

[limpid trench]

yeah I'm going based on the docs, maybe I missed something though

[plain drift]

Yo this would be awesome ingame..

[cyan drum]

dfa pack:

[cosmic flax]

anyone got daytona roadcourse?

and like gt3 cars or any race cars

[cyan drum]

scintilla gt3 parts on repo

for daytona idk just google it, there must be one on forums

[limpid trench]

how frequently do the streams tick?

and I guess the ui app tickrate too

[modern crag]

In hindsight, are you sorry?

[fickle jacinth]

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE LOADING SCREEN FREEZE

[cosmic flax]

yea got that already

i mean more irl gt3 cars or just anything else i havent seen

[cyan drum]

they do not exist

[cosmic flax]

i saw someone with a huracan gt3 and mercedes but the huracan costs money and i cant find that specific mercedes

[cyan drum]

high chance they suck

don't pay for real car mods

[dawn tiger]

Do what you want and don't let people tell you otherwise just because they don't like something

[swift void]

Anyone know why the Gloster Meteor mod is still not fixed? I seriously want this mod back

[frank cove]

Paid real car mods are objectively scams 99% of the time.

It’s just solid advice, especially for someone seemingly newer to the community

[dawn tiger]

I mean yea but still if you like something buy it

[plush latch]

this but on the infotainment screen

[sour dew]

Says the anti reshade man 😕

[errant fulcrum]

yes i am

[modern crag]

That's good

[errant fulcrum]

after all, even tho likely only four people got it, i still regret that

i only know about four users but the i disabled the link after one guy got it and three others might still have the mod but the mod is released now

[swift void]

Anyone know why the Gloster Meteor mod is still not fixed? I seriously want this mod back

[opaque falcon]

is this what you want

[latent ivy]

yeah

like what im planning on doing to my irl car

my crown vic

[crystal ibex]

can someone help with collision bug?

[kindred yoke]

What's the best tutorial for making a car mod

[opaque falcon]

what kind of car mod

whole car? car parts?

[kindred yoke]

changing a whole vanilla car, cause i want to make a Legran EPA

[languid galleon]

do any of you know any good hyper or super car mods kinda getting tired of the scintilla

[fervent crag]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/improved-lamborghini-gallardo-v1-28.80412/

[languid galleon]

okay thanks

[chrome knot]

Where do i find a good bmw e46 mod?

Preferably sedan

[cyan drum]

it doesn't exist

[sour dew]

#mods-discussion message may be some here idk

[limpid furnace]

oops my bad typo

i meant i cant find the folders for the vanilla cars in the beamng drive document. And yes im trying to find legran

[dawn tiger]

Maserator has one I believe his discord is tismas modding server

[rigid mulch]

yo is beamngdrivemods.com a safe website? (don't copy-paste it if you think it isn't safe plz i dun wanna get in trouble when really it's your fault lol)

[dawn tiger]

No it's not

[dawn tiger]

Never use snything other than trusted modders patreon and kofis and the main beam ng repo and the beam ng forums

[rigid mulch]

so no?

[rigid mulch]

elo?

[dawn tiger]

I literally said no

[rigid mulch]

ok

f-

i got my pagani Utopia from that

[dawn tiger]

Well it's probably a stolen leaked mod

[rigid mulch]

ya

probably

but I'm getting my pc bricked

well if that's the case

im guna del. all my mods

[dawn tiger]

Just check them with virus total website

[rigid mulch]

th is dat

[dawn tiger]

And don't download anymore from there. It is a website that scans whatever file you put in and looks for sketchy stuff

[rigid mulch]

oh shii. wait how do u know?

[dawn tiger]

How do I know what?

[rigid mulch]

ye

[dawn tiger]

What?

[rigid mulch]

that it is a malecious site

[limpid furnace]

Its common knowledge

[rigid mulch]

waq

[dawn tiger]

Virus total uses info from a lot of sources to check and see if any common files normally contained in viruses exist in the file you upload

[cyan drum]

it's known that 3rd party sites are just not trustworthy

[rigid mulch]

oh ok. and you checkedx?

[limpid furnace]

its in the name the only mod website you should trust is beamng.com

[rigid mulch]

well some are but it's like playing rousian roulett but with your pc and them files

[rigid mulch]

ok

[cyan drum]

no, 99% of them are

[dawn tiger]

Most files on them are but there are exceptions like your mods and mine and others that actually post on here and the forums

[rigid mulch]

oh ok

so i guess i'm good?

[dawn tiger]

Well don't download anymore from that site cause there all stolen but probably

[rigid mulch]

ok. but if they ar

i keep pressing the enter button by accident

well virus total says that it's clean

[dawn tiger]

Yes just don't download anymore from there since they are most likely stolen but I can't make you delete the ones you already have just don't spread the name of the site and don't tell people where you got the to prevent advertising

[rigid mulch]

ok ty

[steep bolt]

yo are there any mazda mx6 mods?

[thick niche]

no

[fading locust]

how do i get my car to show up in the vehicle selector

[olive spire]

You don’t

[ocean mauve]

well thats not very helpful

[ocean mauve]

make sure you have a main jbeam (with slotType: main) and an info file for the car, and make sure both are formatted correctly and in the right location

[fading locust]

how do i do that

[ocean mauve]

to check the formatting, I use visual studio code set to json - it will show any errors in the console at the bottom of the window, but you could also use an online tool like this one: https://jsonlint.com/

(yes it json instead of jbeam, but they are practically the same - except jbeam doesnt care about commas , and comments //)

as for the location being correct, mod files should go in

userfolder /0.34/mods/unpacked/modname/vehicles/carname/ files go here

(or, once the mod is packed/zipped:
userfolder /0.34/mods/modname.zip/vehicles/carname/ files go here)

[fading locust]

i grabbed two vehicles from beam and mashed them together so should be good on the code

[fading locust]

unity

beam

help pls

[ocean mauve]

Could you send me the mod maybe? I could hopefully have a look this weekend or so

[charred fjord]

Do you know if there is a way to bake the texture so it doesn't get imported so "staired"? Like i have to smooth the entire terrain. And i tried blurring the texture in post but this just doesn't do anything except makeing it less accruate

[plain drift]

Mine does the same thing.

[limpid furnace]

is there any decent tutorial on youtube that explains how to make custom body work on beamng cars?

[frank cove]

Not 100% sure unfortunately. Might be related to the textures bit? Like if it is 32 bit it might be better

Not sure at all thats just a guess

[charred fjord]

hmm 🤔 That could be. Thanks. Must check which export format Beam supports

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @frank cove (current: #63 - 48)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNqsS5a9XVM

shows the basic workings of how to add custom body parts very easy to understand, this tutorial i recommend to everyone

this won't explain modeling though

[limpid furnace]

ok il watch it when i have time

and i can a bit modelling from before

[latent ivy]

Does anyone have a jeep mod with alot of regular jeeps and a trackhawk

[thick niche]

no

[river plaza]

hey guys, some of my mods arent showing up when im in game

Once they download they cant be found in my "Installed" section of my mod manager

the mods are still in my mods file in beamng

[tranquil wing]

I'm curious if anyone here knows how to mod?

and if I can put in a request?

I have over 260 logged hours and noticed one thing throughout the tens of thousands of mods

There is a massive lack of 2015-2019 kia k900 v8 luxery sedans, hell, the v6 twin turbo varient is unheard of

so I would like to ask if anyone could help me suprise my mom with her car being in the game

[barren magnet]

modding isnt a simple thing in beamng

it can take years to make a single mod

even simple meshslaps can take weeks or months, depending on how properly someone were to do it

and modders typically dont take requests, mostly because modding is quite complex and takes a lot of time, time that they'd rather spend working on something that they like or really want to make

[tranquil wing]

ik, It's just a strong suggestion, not only bc NOBODY has done it, but the car's a modders dream, it's a sleeper with high potential, so much tech, beautiful details for those who like the little things, and it's rare.

[barren magnet]

those little details are exactly why it would take a long time and a massive amount of effort

[tranquil wing]

not trying to say someone should do it for free

I could look for a reasonable rate

[barren magnet]

not trying to be a downer, but just trying to set your expectations, but if you were to pay a "reasonable rate", eg the standard for 3D work, you'd be spending literal thousands of dollars

the standard for 3d is about 25-30 an hour

[tranquil wing]

yea, life sucks like that lol

I just like cars yk, my mom's was rare and cool so I figured it was worth a shot

[latent ivy]

Drop me a message I know somebody who does commissions it will be about $100 though

[opaque falcon]

And not just 3d work

Custom jbeam, lua, engine sounds, engine power curve

[barren magnet]

good luck with them finding a model

[latent ivy]

That’s easy

[tranquil wing]

now here's the thing, I'm not in a spending place rn, I'm saving for a down payment, I'm just asking for the future

[opaque falcon]

You can try to find the car model online

If you can the cost will be lower

[tranquil wing]

the most I could offer rn is media exposure, and something tells me that's not enough

[barren magnet]

a model would run about the same as what burger king is saying their person can do

[tranquil wing]

I'll post an image...

[latent ivy]

For example, I’m paying €350 for this mod

[tranquil wing]

neat looking truck

here's the car I'm talking abt

[barren magnet]

a squir model of a 2015 k900 is 89.60, and that's not optimized for beam, includes a very basic interior

[latent ivy]

Not to say names, but Kenny does vehicles like this

[tranquil wing]

it's longer than a tahoe, yes

[latent ivy]

I’m thinking of getting this model and making it a mod rest in peace to my bank account

[tranquil wing]

have a reference link/image?

[tranquil wing]

wow

also rip

[latent ivy]

@barren magnet I don’t think he knows who Kenny is

[tranquil wing]

no, I'm a casual modder

[barren magnet]

if youre talking about kenemation, steer clear

shit meshslaps, not worth buying

[latent ivy]

That’s saying something

Phaine is pretty decent he’s a kid though so he’s got a lot to learn

I’ve ordered off him multiple times and not once have I had any issues

[barren magnet]

phaien sucks too

[latent ivy]

I mean, he’s a kid. He’s got an excuse.

[opaque falcon]

Ummm

[tranquil wing]

I loved the ccf, although, that's a very complex mod

[latent ivy]

He’s not as bad as Kenny

If you wanna talk about really bad modders Bonnie gaming

[opaque falcon]

If it's paid-mods, not worth

[tranquil wing]

also, this isn't right, the cars features are hidden, but that's the glory in it

it's basic on the surface

[barren magnet]

no

what im saying is, that model has no interior

[tranquil wing]

wym?

[barren magnet]

you'd be spending 89 bucks on a model with no real interior

[tranquil wing]

oh

[latent ivy]

Would you say phaine has potential unlike Kenny?

[barren magnet]

there are not many 15-19 k900 models about that would have a modeled interior

[tranquil wing]

wait, someone made it already?

[opaque falcon]

No undercarriage too right?

[barren magnet]

i mean if he stops doing shit meshslaps and taking people's work, then sure

[barren magnet]

correct, or suspension, or enginebay

[opaque falcon]

Shit

Like the r34 im fixing right now

[latent ivy]

Motherfucker is probably gonna steal the ultimate chassis and slap the daf on it

[barren magnet]

it wouldnt surprise me

[tranquil wing]

I have seen the engine bay on the irl car, it's just a bunch of plastic covers

[barren magnet]

it's already happened before

[opaque falcon]

Not just that

The strut tower

[latent ivy]

@tranquil wing this is Kenny do I need to say more?

[opaque falcon]

Radiator support

[tranquil wing]

I've seen good mod body's with bad gameplay

this doesn't prove your whole point, but the body looks amazing

[barren magnet]

the body is a ripped configurator model from the vw site

[opaque falcon]

Unless you want something like this

[latent ivy]

Jesus Christ, I didn’t know it was that bad

[barren magnet]

not at all intended to be used with beamng

[opaque falcon]

Just a shell

[tranquil wing]

I chose the 15' k900 out of love for my mom, not a mod war, I'm sorry but I just wanted to impress her : (

[cyan drum]

I'm sorry but someone who sells meshslaps at ridiculous prices (for what they are), with models stolen off 3d configurators or games, isn't someone who is decent, nor is age a justification, he's also about 17 so he should know better by now

[opaque falcon]

And stuff like this

[tranquil wing]

who should I talk to with proven potential?

[barren magnet]

we're not trying to tell you it cant happen, but set your expectations on the floor, and then dig a hole under them

[opaque falcon]

It's ok

[latent ivy]

I know a couple people

[barren magnet]

like i said, modding is not a simple or quick task in any sense

[latent ivy]

It depends do you want mesh slap or do you want high-quality?

[opaque falcon]

Just your expectations is a bit high

[tranquil wing]

fair

[opaque falcon]

Can do it but needs a lot of time and money

[tranquil wing]

and I'm happy you guys take this seriously, it proves there's a market

[latent ivy]

I mean, to be honest, there’s only three people in the community who do commissions who are not absolutely god awful

[tranquil wing]

yeah, I can see that

[latent ivy]

Innocent Joker is a very good modder but I don’t think he does commissions

[cyan drum]

she*

[barren magnet]

and no

[cyan drum]

and no, she doesn't, she's also very busy doing a 1:1 saleen s7

[barren magnet]

she's been working on her dream car for the past couple years

[tranquil wing]

good for her

[latent ivy]

I legit thought she was a man the entire time

I mean, if you’re talking about Maps, I know a couple people

But but be prepared to pay high high prices

[tranquil wing]

yea

[opaque falcon]

Now if you really wants to do the mod

[latent ivy]

The only people I know who do it is Spencer Johnson and Joe grape who made the Manchester map

[opaque falcon]

You need alot of modders

[latent ivy]

I got a quote for a map. It was around €7000.

[opaque falcon]

Engine builder, body builder, uv mapping guy, lua and stuff

Unless there's someone who can do all of it

[tranquil wing]

btw, the engine bay on the car looks like this, would this be easy to map? I'd imagine throwing a pre-fab 5.0l v8 under it would be easy

[opaque falcon]

You can find javi for making the engine for you

[cyan drum]

I'd love to make car commissions but I can't even finish my own car projects first lol

[tranquil wing]

like a mustang motor or something?

[opaque falcon]

For body I think you need the mustang barstow guy

[latent ivy]

I’m currently working on the system with another creator which will automatically apply yellow license plates as an option we are also working on a nervous system

[cyan drum]

actually no I wouldn't really love it but maybe consider it at some point

[opaque falcon]

Depends

Do you want details under the cover or just the cover like etk

[opaque falcon]

Same😂

I have multiple project on-going

[tranquil wing]

just details on the cover, then a motor out of a mustang mod or smth

[opaque falcon]

My mid engine moonhawk haven't finished yet

[opaque falcon]

Then it's simple

Just use the etk motor

And make the cover

[tranquil wing]

but, the motor from this kia was designed by maserati irl, so I'm not sure if that detail affects how the mod feels compared to the real thing.

[opaque falcon]

Kinda

[tranquil wing]

does maserati have a magic touch besides blowing gasgets

[opaque falcon]

If you wish to remove the cover as option

[tranquil wing]

prob not, don't really see the benefit

[opaque falcon]

Now the fancy gadget might need a highly skilled lua guy to make it

[opaque falcon]

Well depends

If you say no, then ya it'll be a lot simpler

[tranquil wing]

the car doesn't use touch screen irl, it uses a mercedes-like knob

[opaque falcon]

Ok another easy one

Is there screen?

[tranquil wing]

knob:

[opaque falcon]

Digital dash or mechanical

[barren magnet]

lucas is the absolute last person that would take a commission lol

[opaque falcon]

Just saying

[opaque falcon]

This one maybe can reuse some asset

[tranquil wing]

mines mechanical, but that's rare for the k900, I believe ours was 1/150 to have that option installed

[opaque falcon]

Btw why actually

[opaque falcon]

Do you want the option to have digital dash?

[barren magnet]

because he has his own projects

[opaque falcon]

Or just your spec

[opaque falcon]

Ah understandable

[tranquil wing]

nah, you could throw an optima mech. dash in, that would prob. work

[opaque falcon]

So just one mechanical dash?

Then yeah not a lot of lua

[barren magnet]

youre speaking as if these things are already made for beamng

someone has to do all this work still

[opaque falcon]

Probably none

[tranquil wing]

here:

[opaque falcon]

That seems like digital dash

[tranquil wing]

kinda, they can probably take off a different kia model

[tranquil wing]

this stock image does yes

[opaque falcon]

Not that easy

[barren magnet]

those different kia models are meshslaps and most of them are barely functional as cars in the first place

[opaque falcon]

The dash still need a lot of work done

Every needles you see is its own model

[tranquil wing]

yea, i figured, but i've never modded, so I have no idea what tools are at your disposal, or anybodys tbh

[barren magnet]

the tools are blender and notepad

[opaque falcon]

Now did you have the mechanical dash picture?

[opaque falcon]

Visual studio code

Who use notepad anyway

[barren magnet]

vsc is just another notepad

at its most basic form

[opaque falcon]

But looks better

[tranquil wing]

no, I'll try to get in the car rq

[barren magnet]

every third meshslap kid that joins modding for dummies

if youre lucky, they use notepad++

[opaque falcon]

Fair🤣

[tranquil wing]

also, I'll get footage of the sunroof

[barren magnet]

yeah good luck with the sunroof lol

[opaque falcon]

Ya

Same as other glasses

[barren magnet]

as far as i know the avior is the first to have a properly functioning sunroof

[opaque falcon]

If it's for showing probably ok

Like the etk one

If you want working sunroof it's a different story

[tranquil wing]

Also, the sunroof does open, but that’s not the special function that I was referring to

see?

footage just for reference, not great detail for modding

not asking for a mod by this point, but maybe this can be some good idea for a creator at some point :)\

[opaque falcon]

It's the sunroof open function we don't want to do

[pallid lynx]

sick car seat

[tranquil wing]

lol

[opaque falcon]

More like multiple creators

[tranquil wing]

thanks, not my car though

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @pallid lynx (current: #489 - 5)

[opaque falcon]

You really need multiple creators to make that

[tranquil wing]

yeah

A big suggestion lmao

thanks for your help though, still going to see if someone's crazy enough to do it, unlikely, but I'm persistant.

Why's the bot asking me to thank people?

[barren magnet]

it does that if you don't reply or mention someone when you say it

it's just a reputation bot thing, basically useless

[tranquil wing]

ah

I loved talking though, non of my friends have pc's, so it's nice to vent

[latent ivy]

Anyone interested in 200mph pigeon? Lol

[opaque falcon]

Looks nice eh

The rollcage is the original rollcage

[latent ivy]

What car is that

[opaque falcon]

Marshal

I feel like I'm building a skyline gtr but body on frame

[latent ivy]

Oh I see the taillight hole now yea

[opaque falcon]

The rb and 4wd stuffs

So kinda american gtr?

[latent ivy]

Grand Marshal remaster when

Lol

[opaque falcon]

Nah

Too much work

I'm not a great modder

[latent ivy]

Yeah it just got updated anyway

Neither am I

I do not understand blender at all and dunno how to jbeam or even how to mesh slap

[opaque falcon]

But I'll make it like universal so if there's future update it'll can be update very quickly

[opaque falcon]

Same but im slowly learning

[latent ivy]

I think I will be working on my modding skills during the summer and have that be my summer project

What should I try to learn first?

Maybe I could make UI apps

[opaque falcon]

Well for me I do small 3d models

[latent ivy]

Idk how to model

I should learn that

[bright jacinth]

i know a fair bit, but i need commitment cause i barely 3d model

[latent ivy]

I should definitely learn it

thing is Idk if I can run blender or whatever you would use for it

[bright jacinth]

if you can run beamng then you can run blender

blender isn't even that intensive unless if you do 3d rendering stuff or work with shitty ass 3000000 vertice models

[latent ivy]

I can run BeamNG at very low settings

How would you get a model in the first place?

[bright jacinth]

you either make one yourself, or find one online

[latent ivy]

How do you make one

[bright jacinth]

you start on an object (usually a cube, plane, sphere) and then go wild on it on the edit mode

look up a few tutorials if you want to start

[neon wyvern]

a bit of a tech demo I've done

[latent ivy]

your mentaly insane you know that right?

I genuinley feel bad that you chose to toruture yourself with this its cool as fuck but id never be insane enough for this

THE FILMAN SPECIAL RIMS 🤯 🤯 🤯

[silent loom]

Hey guys, can someone tell me whats the best mod car to drift in beamng please?

[latent ivy]

WE NEED THIS IN VANILLA

[cyan drum]

shame it's on the slow ass old version of the beamng ui

[latent ivy]

The old UI is still better imo

[cyan drum]

it's awfully slow

way slower than the vue based ui

[latent ivy]

but the Vue UI still has a lot of issues. Once those are worked out it will definitely be better than the old UI

[cyan drum]

when you have 30+ new rims to maintain the vue based ui is miles better

[latent ivy]

It looks better but it doesn't work as well in some ways

[cyan drum]

it's way faster still

[latent ivy]

Wheel searching is a big plus for sure but I can't search part names, only slot names

and also the mission UI has no back button

These aren't huge problems I just would rather use the old UI until they are fixed

[thick niche]

bx with drift gear

[cyan drum]

I can't remember the last time I did a mission so I haven't even realized yet

the other thing is indeed a bummer but also doesn't really affect me either

[latent ivy]

So it's really not an issue for you but for someone who does a lot of configs and missions it's not great

[cyan drum]

I'm old fashioned and don't really use the search function beyond quickly changing rims and tires

[latent ivy]

back in 0.19 we didn't have that lol (that was the version I played before getting 0.33)

[cyan drum]

I began playing on 0.15, we didn't even have traffic back then

[latent ivy]

lol wow

Like AI, just no traffic?

[cyan drum]

yeah

[latent ivy]

Yeah I was gonna be like
Huh?

if you meant no AI of any kind

[vagrant ether]

can i send 500 mods

for the community

[cyan drum]

no

[quick pagoda]

what. why.

[thick niche]

no one wants the modland junk

[vagrant ether]

its not modland junk

paid and private mods

so much quality into them

tho im sure if im allowed

am i?

[thick niche]

paid and private mods your wanting to release to people - do you see why this is a bad idea

no one wants your mod folder bro

probably just meshslapped junk you bought off of patreon, ko-fi, or whatever

[elder python]

[vagrant ether]

ok ye

[vagrant ether]

trust me the mods are super good expect for kenemation

just saying😄

my goal is to do 1000+ mods

[thick niche]

your game must run like crap lol

[vagrant ether]

no i got mid range pc and i do ultra graphics with CK graphics settings and reshade it runs butter smooth at 50-60 fps with traffic in city map

[thick niche]

lol

[vagrant ether]

yo whats ur pb

in no hesi

[thick niche]

i haven't played ac in 2 years

[vagrant ether]

damn

[mint ginkgo]

im sorry for butting into this but what the hell kenemation

nvm

[thick niche]

kenemation is a group of modders that just steal various parts from other mod makers and just get any 3d model they can get ahold of and put it on their patreon

[mint ginkgo]

ok !

steal mods just to sell on your patreon is whole different evil /greedy

[cyan drum]

absolutely not

[thick niche]

we don't support piracy here

[mint ginkgo]

oh that piracy i didnt read all of what they said...

[frank cove]

Advertising piracy in the official beamcord is bold

[dense jungle]

kenemation is a part of the wider beamng moidding community ruining the reputation of paid mods by the reason above

there are good paid mods and they are made by reputable modders, have a forum post here and on the forums, are a 1 time charge and usually pretty cheap

some examples #1121909184837988423
#1261671597765427210
#1135257690512298116

[mint ginkgo]

yeah if i didnt have a progect that i put 80% of my money into a my progect i would would def buy i really like them all and the high quality

time to download 16 mods at the same time 🥶

[fading cliff]

I'm a bit new to BeamNG, could there be issues if I add too many mods? I have 93 vehicles installed... and I notice maybe after an hour or playing, the game will crash when switching vehicles or maps

(RTX 3060 with 32gb of ram, should be enough I'm assuming)

(I just installed the gta5 map, and damn thing took literally 5 minutes to load in to the map lol)

[mint ginkgo]

well imma sound like a cave man but i had 123 mod at once and beam ran like crap i would try and stay around 50 mods and if you never use the mod it will be slower the fist time

*first

[drowsy leaf]

depending on the mod mainly

[fading cliff]

Good to know... I did notice when I changed my mod folder to my SSD drive, I booted the game without mods and everything loaded within seconds lol

[drowsy leaf]

if you are using a lot of crappy mods from modland or places like that, those are terribly optimized as in they are just forza assets with high quality textures and no care given to optimize them

[mint ginkgo]

yea i am stickin to repo mods

[drowsy leaf]

i have 52 mods, 10 or so are my own so those arent optimized since they arent meant to be released or arent optimized for releasing

personally id never go above 100

[dawn tiger]

I have 266 but only use maybe 10 at a time mostly my own

[fading cliff]

Ohhh I see... good to know, much appreciated... What's the easiest way to disable all mods and only enable a few?
Deactivating each one, 1 by 1, would take forever!!! Or should I just keep them ALL disabled and only enable when I wanna use them?

[drowsy leaf]

disable them 😭

[dawn tiger]

I only have 10 active is what I mean

[drowsy leaf]

i disable all then whenever i need them i enable them

oh alright

[fading cliff]

Gotcha... I still can't believe the GTA5 map works lol although textures are fcked

[drowsy leaf]

youl probably find that you have some mods that you just dont use ever

[dawn tiger]

The GTA map is a wip and uses different lods rn as far as I can tell there haven't been many advances on it

[fading cliff]

Yeah I realized that already, I installed a whole crapload of cars lol, basically at least 5 cars from each brand that I could think of... haven't installed them all, but I doubt I'll ever use all these even once

[fading cliff]

Yeah I noticed... pretty cool tho, to be able to drive around in a city thats kinda known to me... Are there any maps that resemble real cities? Toronto would be cool

[frank cove]

Is the GTA map mod on the forums? I might have to check it out

[dawn tiger]

Um there's a polish roads map that's pretty decent

[dawn tiger]

Yes

[fading cliff]

I found it on beamngdrivemods . com

[fading cliff]

Onl ythe main part of the city has working textures tho, still pretty cool

[dawn tiger]

Never use that site it's all stolen mods same with modland

[fading cliff]

Ohhhh shiet did not know that.... Know any reputable websites to download mods?

[frank cove]

Is the whole map there? I honestly just want to use it for a mesh to remake some tracks I have made in GTA

[dawn tiger]

The forums the repo and reputable modders that post there mods here in the showcase your mods section

[fading cliff]

Yeah physically the whole map is there, at least the city, I'm currently trying to drive out to the country side but its hard without textures lol the collisions work, so I keep slamming in to crap

[frank cove]

That’s sickkkk

[fading cliff]

are there mods for scenarios? maybe like a police chase but with the modded vehicles?

[frank cove]

My map (Xero Parklands) has 150+ missions, so yeah.

All vanilla or vanilla+ content tho (custom configs but vanilla parts)

[fading cliff]

lol collisions in some places are messed up, just went on top of the parking garage near the dealership, hit the ramp on the roof and the car stopped on the ramp lol

[frank cove]

You should be able to bring your car of choice to most missions though if you want.

[fading cliff]

But I want the cops to drive the dodge charger

[frank cove]

Yeah probably doesn’t exist unless you make it yourself

Most modders use vanilla content

[mint ginkgo]

is it a misson>

?

[thick niche]

i don't go over 100

[fading cliff]

no, i just saw the scenario where you can have cops chasing you, but i wanna have them drive the chargers

[thick niche]

you'd have to make your own scenario

[mint ginkgo]

if your in freeroam you can spawn in all the cars you want the ai to drive but yea you cant change that

[fading cliff]

Yeah I was able to do it in freeroam, just takes some time to setup.... I'm new to beamng tho, so I'll look in to making a scenario!

[mint ginkgo]

yea you do that 🙂

id play them

[fading cliff]

damn it! the airport in the gta5 map isnt textures

textured lol

[silent loom]

Hey guys someone has a mod that looks like this one that can send me please? I don't know how to explain but with these kind of roads.

[dense jungle]

that is tragic

[vagrant ether]

im not advertising i was trying to help the community with better mods

but i understand mb

[cyan drum]

leaking paid and private mods is not helping the community at all

what kinda mindset made you think that

[vagrant ether]

Ok im sorry TheTalkingBath

[fading cliff]

is modhub.us a trustable site for mods?

[cyan drum]

nope

[elder python]

Nope

[fading cliff]

Know any good sites?

[elder python]

The BeamNG repository.

[fading cliff]

How do I access that? Sorry I'm completely new to beamng... Is it accessibly in game? Or from a website?

[dawn tiger]

in game click esc and then cl;ick mods at the top

[cyan drum]

not for the structure itself but for how they are organized in the slots selector

and how some work having adjustable face offset

i need to figure out ho to do 3pc lol

[cyan drum]

I also make my own tires to go along with them

[mint ginkgo]

see they called me sped for a reason

The channel is listed as unknown or no access, but if it’s the modding faq or online beam documentation, trust, I’ve read it 💀

[bronze shard]

that link goes to a writeup made by dtroxx for jbeaming a wheel. its in the widefap server

[golden pond]

Ooh, could you dm me a link to the server? That sounds perfect

The modeling and jbeam seems pretty straightforward (relatively) I just need to figure out how to actually link it to the right parent object and get the model as a part I can select as a hubcap or tire (I’m willing to make multiple models for separate sizes/lug arrangements)

[bronze shard]

im in a dnd sesh at the moment, you should be able to scrounge a link to the server from google if you search for widefap discord server. sounds like you just need to have a think about how to do this a bit more, wouldnt be too hard. you could probably just make a post in the help section here

[golden pond]

It seems easy enough in theory to make a “hubcap” model with geometry that stretches around the wheel.

I’m not familiar enough with beamng to get it my first few tries, still working out the workflow.

then would just have to edit the wheels and spawn in the specific color you want

[sage fractal]

i got it from a site beamngdrivemods

.com

[livid mango]

there is from kenemation but paid

i have it and its really nice.

it got cool things like working suspension or trunk with these 2 ,,doors'' and working screen.

[cyan drum]

ah yes, working suspension is a feature now

kenemation mods are crap, they don't even make the models for the mods they make

which usually means they're way too highpoly for them to deform well and lack detail inside/underneath

[grave violet]

i know its not the channel for this bud damn wintoys from microsoft store is really good

you can finally uninstall the windows bloatware

I love it when a mod comes with suspension its like a whole new never before seen feature

have no idea what im doing tho

[dawn tiger]

what that you can move?

[native raptor]

wdym

[umbral rover]

does anybody know some good mods I could download? I'm relatively new to the game

also wht are some good plane mods like i've seen in some vids? i barely found any

[dense jungle]

Check the pins

[umbral rover]

oh alr mbmb

[dense jungle]

Nah you’re fine

Especially as long as you stick to the forums and the repository in the future

[umbral rover]

wait do u know a lot of good plane mods?

[lavish rapids]

if you want real cars I found a lot on modland

[umbral rover]

just any good mods

mostly qoli tho

[lavish rapids]

hi how do I put rainbow dash on the pessima

[wild grotto]

dont use modland

[long lava]

anyone know why my gtr35 mod car has dark windshields

[cyan drum]

no.

[livid mango]

most mods now dont have working suspension.

[cyan drum]

if a mod doesn't have working suspension then you won't be able to drive it lmao

[livid mango]

or look at sheik mods.

[livid mango]

english is not my first language I meant active suspension or idk how to call it.

[cyan drum]

well duh that's because most cars don't come with one irl unless it's like mega luxury

which most mods aren't

[livid mango]

there are many luxury car mods without things like active suspension or working doors.

and even paid mods.

[cyan drum]

such as?

[livid mango]

for example bmw x5 from kenemation.

[cyan drum]

kenemation mods are shit anyways

[livid mango]

or i bought last week smart car from sheik and let me show you something

[cyan drum]

sheik is known for making garbage too

[livid mango]

i mean last mods like range rover are kinda good

[cyan drum]

nah, they still steal stuff

not worth of calling them good

not even close

[livid mango]

i mean audi a7 or a6 and this range rover for me are good

working airbags or screen

[cyan drum]

ew

the airbags aren't realistic either

they just magically deploy and that's it

[livid mango]

is there any mod with realistic airbags?

[cyan drum]

none

because airbags are near impossible to properly replicate without having major issues

specially at higher speeds

if you actually jbeamed them there's a big chance they could invert on themselves

and beam's engine cannot physically deploy them quickly enough to not get them clipping with a collision triangle

[livid mango]

thats right

tbh any paid mod isnt great

[cyan drum]

so, if a mod advertises airbags, it means it's a shit mod

[cyan drum]

not true, there are good paid mods

[livid mango]

like wich one

[cyan drum]

only thing you gotta do is to stop looking at real car mods

[livid mango]

maybe paid bentley from phein is good

[cyan drum]

the procyon avior, the scout, picnic, signia, rush, segra ultimat

[livid mango]

or mid.

[cyan drum]

NO, absolutely not

[livid mango]

what is wrong with it then

[cyan drum]

phaien is not a reputable modder

[livid mango]

i mean for me its good mod.

[cyan drum]

he also steals game models and resells them for his paid mods

[livid mango]

i like when mods have working things in interior

[cyan drum]

and the end result is poor, usually visible on the mechanical end

[cyan drum]

this is how meshslappers attract people who don't know much about modding

filling the interior with triggers doesn't make it a good mod on itself

[livid mango]

how about fastlane then

[cyan drum]

low quality too

[livid mango]

i said ,,i like''

[livid mango]

even the s max 🥲

[cyan drum]

as I said

[livid mango]

i also have many lore friendly cars

but i like driving cars i have in real life.

[cyan drum]

paid real car mods are absolute crap 99% of the time

and tbh so are most free ones

[livid mango]

thats why dacia sandero is the best.

[cyan drum]

very little real car mods are actually good

[livid mango]

.

[cyan drum]

no, that thing tanks fps and makes the vehicle selector run slow

[livid mango]

for me it didnt change anything.

[cyan drum]

I could spawn 7 cement mixer t series or 2 sanderos, the performance drop would be the same

I lost half of my fps spawning just 2 sanderos

[livid mango]

https://tenor.com/view/dacia-top-gear-james-good-news-great-news-gif-16523018

[livid mango]

but what about s max then

[cyan drum]

glorified meshslap with way too much configs

[livid mango]

idk then why simulator adventures advertises these mods.

[cyan drum]

because he's fairly close with fastlane

he also reviewed that subaru impreza mod on the forums which honestly isn't great either

[livid mango]

all i need is just new cayenne coupe in beamng.

and thats all.

[cyan drum]

be the change you want in the world

otherwise you'd rot waiting for a good one

[livid mango]

i could even get some meshlap cayenne and it would make me happy

[cyan drum]

kinda disgusting but up to you

[livid mango]

as i said i love driving cars in beamng that i have in real life..

[cyan drum]

I wouldn't like driving vanilla cars with a different 3d model

[latent ivy]

That explains he would probably claim that one of those modland mods are high quality (spooling and Royal Renderings)

[cyan drum]

I don't think he did

[toxic ginkgo]

what the best vway to go about adding vehicles into bmng

[ocean mauve]

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

Make sure to put them in your userfolder/0.34/mods/, not in the game files/content/vehicles/

[toxic ginkgo]

I'm looking to do some in depth modeling using automation as my base then work to make them more realistic

[plush latch]

no

[remote oak]

It’s only recommended to download from the beamng repo/forum/website

What do you mean?

[keen vale]

is there any mods with a dirtbike/atv

[remote oak]

There are some on beamng’s website/repo/forum you just need to find them

Maybe 🤷‍♀️ who knows

If you do it, you do it at your own risk, you have been warned

[cyan drum]

wrong

[remote oak]

Why are you saying that there are no realistic mods on beamng’s website then?

[cyan drum]

why would you do that

[remote oak]

🤦‍♀️

[dense jungle]

lucas's delorean or maxi's crown vic is that, not the dacia sandero on the forums

the mods on there that are reuploaded? why would you get them from there instead of the source

[molten veldt]

what did I walk into?

[remote oak]

You don't want to know

[sour dew]

crown vic is a great mod dont get me wrong, but its so over rated

i dont know why people love the damn sandero so much, its some cheap econobox

[dense jungle]

in terms of real cars on the forums, its up there but in general, not so much like whhen compared to the ccf

[cyan drum]

because OMG SHITTY SHITBOX IN BEAMNG NO WAY!!!!

[sour dew]

real

[cyan drum]

then it's just some boring ass europoor car

[sour dew]

i approve this message

[dense jungle]

id rather see it on the forums though than on modland

but ive not and dont plan on downloading it

[cyan drum]

it's not worth it tbh

[molten veldt]

That bad?

[dense jungle]

its got a bajillion useless configs, yeah

[cyan drum]

average brazilian kid who loves that kinda car would get their integrated graphics cooked

[remote oak]

Downloading mods from modland instead of beamng and kinda arguing on why not using modland

[dense jungle]

the mods i want to see more of though are fire trucks

[molten veldt]

💀 it is that bad

[remote oak]

plus asking if they can send paid mod to quote "help the community"

[molten veldt]

💀 💀

Bruh

[remote oak]

Kids 🤷‍♀️

[molten veldt]

True

Also I scrolled up, And.. No Irl Mod on Forums? I found loads

[remote oak]

Just googling it shows you some

[dense jungle]

icl i was expecting another argument about defending modland

same argument same shit, its hard to convince me theyre not paid by modland to come here and argue

[cyan drum]

because they expect to get them spoonfed

[dense jungle]

beggars cant be choosers

[cyan drum]

they can't read either, else they'd be mad

[molten veldt]

or YouTube videos that shows you the mods itself FROM forums

[remote oak]

Also

[dense jungle]

oh god dont start on the mod videos

all the tutorials are showing to use modland and to put them into the vehicles folder

[remote oak]

Câlice

🤦‍♀️

[molten veldt]

don't forget Mod reviews

[dense jungle]

meshslaps?

[remote oak]

(French canadien word dw (had to let it out))

[molten veldt]

yep

[dense jungle]

the only good mod reviews are those taking the piss out of shitty paid ones like kenemation's

in my eyes

[molten veldt]

Yolobet is worse

[dense jungle]

i dont even want to ask

[molten veldt]

Dont

[dense jungle]

i wont

[toxic ginkgo]

remeshing an automation file right now kind of stuck on how to go about it like what should I start with and also once it's all broke down how do I go about making it so the hood opens etc

[dense jungle]

look at the vanilla jbeams as a reference for things like doors

[toxic ginkgo]

got yeah what about headlights and latches same gig study something close to what I'm doing and go from there

[dense jungle]

pretty much

[toxic ginkgo]

oh boy also I'm running thru blender is there something better or is that my best bet

[molten veldt]

Hey Poignee

can I dm you something real quick

[eternal dagger]

Does anyone know if there are any good new Acura TLX or RDX mods?

[remote oak]

Yep

[cyan drum]

nope

[drowsy leaf]

he maid some paid that were the same or worse quality than that

[tranquil atlas]

bro i just got a tupolev tu 104 from modland and malwarebytes blocked like 30 viruses 💀

[remote oak]

Aaaaaand that's why you don't use mod land

[dense jungle]

lesson learned

[molten veldt]

that's why you shouldn't use it

[cyan drum]

maid

[remote oak]

made

[drowsy leaf]

hell naw

[dense jungle]

wtf 😭

this is why its good to have moderation

and if anyone says

im in windows sandbox downloading these

"nice textures"

[remote oak]

😭😭

[dense jungle]

"modland is good" they said

"you can get good mods on modland" they said

its not even a game its just ripped from sketchfab

[remote oak]

Even worse

[plush latch]

modland moment

[latent ivy]

Unless you have the strongest antivirus

[mortal egret]

I've been using ModLand for 2 years now 💀
(with AdBlock on)

[latent ivy]

Modkand is an interesting place

At least they take down peoples mods if it’s a copyright

[dry quarry]

(Only ferrari)

[toxic ginkgo]

anyone ever remesh an automation file some tips or links I could watch would be great just want to add some realism to it

[drowsy leaf]

not if you ask the admin

[lavish rapids]

hey im really missing my fluttershy skins that broke on the wentward
