fortnite battle bus

[pale stirrup]

yes but i want to get the rims yellow just like battle bus that is in fortnite

[mighty mesa]

idk how

[dawn tiger]

so in blender when you hit s to scale you can let go of the mouse and type a number and hit enter and that will scale by the number exactly

[mighty mesa]

how would i export that as a new vehicle in beam

[drowsy leaf]

You just made a (scaled)model, you can't just magically make that a vehicle lol

[mighty mesa]

bruckell bigran

literally a scaled version of the legran

im reviving it man

[drowsy leaf]

Yeah I know what you are doing but that's an old ass mod not what you modeled

[mighty mesa]

the mod does say i just scaled it up

[drowsy leaf]

It's not as easy tho

I'm not gonna get into it but you can't just scale everything

[mighty mesa]

ik that

maybe i can change that save file as a vehicle idk

[drowsy leaf]

Change what save file as a vehicle????

This game doesn't have save files or anything remotely close to that

[mighty mesa]

first time using blender

no idea what im doing

[winged tendon]

idk if this is the right place to ask this but i'm changing the config files to my vivace and it has a lot of power now and my sequential clutch is overheating too much because it keep disengaging and reengaging in qiuck suscesion. is there any way to turn it off?

[woven fable]

Question has anybody developed a police info UI app similar to a GTA one?

[hallow thunder]

I love when beamng randomly "autogenerates" all the materials in a model in completely fucked up ways, flips random textures upside down, and makes random other materials able to render through them! This game definitely isnt a useless hump of bad code!

everything works find in blender, textures are correct, none are corrupted, or up to unusual standards

[sour dew]

So… rotate the textures… use normal alpha clip instead of lerp, or apply a z-write…

Coming in here cursing and crashing out doesn’t do anything for anyone

[hallow thunder]

Ah, but because the game "autogenerated" the materials, it disabled all forms of editing! Anyways it's late why am I not in bed lol

[sour dew]

Quite frankly a little annoying

[sour dew]

Yea dude, modding isn’t a one stop shop, you need to tweak stuff.. and edit stuff.

[hallow thunder]

No, like I physically can't edit the materials

[sour dew]

The game doesn’t not allow you to edit them lmao

You’re just not selecting the dae, or you have names wrong in blender

[hallow thunder]

I'll send screenshots tomorrow if I recall to do so then but it literally says like "The materials for this object were autogenerated, you cannot edit them." Or something like that

Found one other person with the same issue, and it can't be zero materials assigned because some of them display correctly and none would display at all with zero assigned materials

[tawny lynx]

Apprentally russia can’t use beamng website or smth, finally modland have a purpose

[minor saffron]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

i know thats why i need help 😭

[limber sparrow]

• open menu —> configure —> parts or something (the first one)
• type wheels in search bar
• replace front and rear wheels with yellow ones

[vast lion]

does anyone know if someone has ported the new OSW drift map from AC to Beam?

[pale stirrup]

which menu and can't find the yellow wheels option

[limber sparrow]

press esc

on the top bar choose configure (or smth like that)

there will be a searchbar

search wheels

click on them

there should be the same wheels but yellow

select them

[stone sluice]

hey guys is the claria broken for anyone or just me?

[feral pawn]

coming soon to a repository near you 👀

[thin widget]

...the engine or the shitty looking FD

[feral pawn]

both

its rob dahms awd rx7

[thin widget]

ah

[feral pawn]

or the lore friendly version "bob damn's awd FX7"

[cyan drum]

might want to consider fixing that

[feral pawn]

already sorted, i noticed it when i took the screenshot

[cyan drum]

fair enough

[feral pawn]

the uv map exported weird was a simple fix

[tired scroll]

general doubt about my mod, visual stuff, shuld I add current sessions times? Like if ou are gaining on your session time = green, purple if you are gaining on personalbest of all times ?

props to the dev that put "path" to some timetrial names on the race.race.json files! making it hard to find the correct one to use on time trials! god save the dump, I'm getting all the waypoints from dump scenario instead of getting the race.race file jezz

[radiant folio]

I may not like RR but this G80 Hits ngl

[cyan drum]

curious how see how shit that mod is

[radiant folio]

Compared to all the other g80 mods we got

its good

[cyan drum]

I have my doubts

the g82 was really shit

[slate sleet]

i have a RoyalRenderings M4 mod and i only dont like it because it tanks my fps from 70 to 40 and from 40 to like 30 when in first person but it has a lot of details

[jovial grotto]

is MP a mod or just smth i need to enable? if it is a mod how do i download it? just the ingame mod manager

[lime lintel]

why did all legacy sunburst mods removed? i need 0.34 sunburst and i remember there was a mod for it

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/hirochi-sunburst-legacy.103793/ ?

[cyan drum]

probably because it has over atleast 1,100,000 tris per config

and a fuckon of materials, nearly all of them being doublesided for some goddamn reason

[lime lintel]

ah thx i couldnt find this

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @drowsy leaf (current: #45 - 82)

[slate sleet]

i was considering deleting it because of the same reason

its way too detailed to the point if i run ai traffic, first person and im inside this car my fps will be less than 20

[cyan drum]

it's shitty anyways, just mod the etks at that point

[slate sleet]

fair

[dense jungle]

BeamMP

[tranquil atlas]

anybidy have the baserunner

[radiant folio]

You think?

[cyan drum]

I tried it myself across 4 different updates, yes I think that

[radiant folio]

i mean sure for low end systems it can make the game unplayable but it had some great details, sound was alright, Model was great, features were cool

thats just me though

[cyan drum]

#mods-discussion message

[drowsy leaf]

model was crappy as soon as you looked in any deep

[cyan drum]

list of issues is very big

[cyan drum]

also this

[drowsy leaf]

like i mean i tested it with him in vc and i was trying to not die of laughter because it was 4am my time

[cyan drum]

I also tested it again thrice after that

[drowsy leaf]

the engine had modeled internals for some reason, as soon as you got away from the basic shell that was a stolen model, the door jambs, trunk lining and all that was streched etk k series textures

thats just what i remember

[cyan drum]

and #mods-discussion message

[cyan drum]

not to mention the insane amount and size of texture junk

most of them not being power of 2 sizes, which is already a bad sign on itself

[cyan drum]

sound is also made by someone that does know what he's actually doing

features are ok at best, not deal breaker

[drowsy leaf]

@cyan drum and the uh 20 scintillas level of performance right

[cyan drum]

16 actually

vs just 2 m4s

kudos on royal for not stealing any lua code for that mod though

instead it's all chatgpt stuff

[radiant folio]

ig

[cyan drum]

well well well the same wheel issues persist for the m3

[lapis trellis]

[placid arrow]

Ok, should I get mods from nexus mods to bc there trusted?

[lapis trellis]

the mod community really only use the official sites

[lapis trellis]

I'm trying to make a mod app with google's Gemini. But every time we are making good steps it all comes crashing down. I've let it deep research all beam ng mod information and gave it example files, but no succes. Now I'm at a point that I just want to fill db.json and show a description in mod manager. Help appreciated.

[cyan drum]

LLMs hardly have an idea of how beamng modding works

[dawn tiger]

Use Claude 3.5 it works great imo for beam at least the best so far at least for beams Lua stuff

[distant dove]

Thanks

[wintry jewel]

Guys I need to help find one map

[dawn tiger]

Well do you have pics of it?

[wintry jewel]

Unfortunately

But I know small details

There was a highway a some STEEP dirt roads on hills

Pretty big map

But main thing was the off-road dirt roads

[dawn tiger]

Hmm was it a desert map?

[wintry jewel]

No

More tress and grass

Even chatgpt didn't help me

[dawn tiger]

The only offroadish maps I can think of with long highways are desert maps lol sorry i couldn't help

[wintry jewel]

Still thanks for trying

[drowsy leaf]

each time i ask any LLM what the structure of a jbeam it gives a different awnser, and theres a lot more jbeam stuff compared to UI app, so yeah no

[tranquil atlas]

where can i get the baserunner mod

[covert elk]

I am also looking

[wheat jungle]

hi, i need help with adding a sticker to a vehicle

[tired scroll]

maybe for jbeam it does that, for lua and js? for me it worked all the way, not a easy route, but it's clearly possible, look at this, delta time, sectors, microsectors, and a ghost car....

[drowsy leaf]

still especially with how beamng works, as soon as anything external changes, if this breaks, do you think you could fix it? i personally prefer to take my coding slow and rely on llms just for the simple stuff but like code myself not what the llm spits out

[tired scroll]

I have no idea on programming I only know how to open visualstudio, and controlC control V to chatgpt,

[placid ridge]

Hey lichi? I recognize your name, but not sure from where. Do you make mods?

[thin widget]

yeah he does

[placid ridge]

I just got the idea to check his profile.

[drowsy leaf]

Holy shit dude

So basically your project is doomed from the start

[tired scroll]

yeah for sure, but it's working as you see on the video, it works on custom hotllaping time trials, races , laps rallystages, it works on everything, I'm not planning on selling it, or anything, I just wanted to race against my times and improve for going for worldrecords, and beamng didn't got that option, so I asked chatgpt to make me a delta time and ghostcar and 1 week 2 weeks later its done, I bet a professional can do it in 8hors and ready for release, I'm not doubting that, I'm just saying that is possible to use chatgpt to create some mods

[thin widget]

fym hes already got it working lmao

im not a huge fan of using AI for shit but hes not acting like hes hot shit and he managed to throw something together that functions

[peak summit]

does anyone know any good stance discord servers i can be in for beammp

why do people ask the same, identical question in multiple channels

[lapis trellis]

can't wait to get dmed to ask if the person/mod is legit

[lapis trellis]

they can't wait two (2) seconds

[dense jungle]

idk whats worse, the fact they ask it or the fact that multiple people do it

[cyan drum]

no

I'd like to copy and edit a engine and transmission file. I want to make changes to the inline 6 to make it run like a stock 80s ford 300 and the transmission act like a np435. Where can I find the stuff to do this, if making changes like that is OK

[pine zodiac]

Does anybody have a list of all lore brands including ones made by mod creators?

[drowsy leaf]

i dont think there is

[pine zodiac]

Is there a lore friendly Audi brand (excluding etk)

[drowsy leaf]

no audi and bmw and mercedes to an extent are etk

etk is generic luxury german brand

AW is volkswagen

[pine zodiac]

I feel like etk is too BMW then

[drowsy leaf]

yes it very much is

[placid arrow]

Does it have to be lore? Because I know some real car mod versions on offical site.

[pine zodiac]

Bro

[drowsy leaf]

hes asking about lore friendly car brands

[placid arrow]

Omg not you.

[drowsy leaf]

do you have the reading comprehension of a 2 year old

[placid arrow]

Do you not stop being a creep

19 year old Lil bro

[drowsy leaf]

you wrong fool

[placid arrow]

18 fool

[drowsy leaf]

also i was in a conversation with him then YOU replied to him

its a public chat you can leave at any moment

or block me shrugs

[pine zodiac]

How would this relate to my original request in any way, shape or form

[drowsy leaf]

(it doesnt)

[pine zodiac]

I figured

[placid arrow]

God everyone here is just all d heads

[pine zodiac]

Okay

[drowsy leaf]

you are the one that replied something totally unrelated to someones question

[lapis trellis]

the world doesn't revolve around you yeah

[dawn tiger]

And were proud

[drowsy leaf]

@pine zodiac in terms of lore friendly brands you have uh
Procyon (luxury hirochi)
AW (VW)
Arima (Toyota)
Blackpool ( caterham)
Satsuma (old japanese brand)
FPS (FSO)
Taz(Lada)

[bronze shard]

satsuma isnt even super lore friendly. it would be the same as using a gta brand lmao

[drowsy leaf]

True but I think they have permission so

Like the satsuma 210

[lapis trellis]

Satsuma is prob Datsun

[drowsy leaf]

If you wanted to make an Audi either etk, create your own brand, or twist it and make it a cherrier french car weird thing?

[pine zodiac]

I've been thinking about what I would do after the 600 and the first gen R8 is my favourite car and afaik there are no lore friendly mods for it so maybe a new brand would be the most suitable option because I don't think ETK would be right for it

[bronze shard]

yeah its a bit of a mess tbh. i dont know if there was also permission for the other satsumas or just how far it extends. im working on something that would absolutely fit the established satsuma brand and im not looking forward to the comments telling me to just make it satsuma

[lapis trellis]

yeah you would have to make a fanon brand if you don't wanna use etk

[pine zodiac]

Yeah

If by then an Audi brand doesn't become a thing

[drowsy leaf]

Personally I'd see if you can do something else cuz the r8 is pretty mechanically complex and using scintilla stuff would be a great shame

You'd have to at least semi model the front and rear frame and st least partially the engine ( you could use the scintilla block but different headers, exhaust, valve covers and such

Oh and learn either substance painter or any form of texturing that isn't just a drawing software

[pine zodiac]

If I would do an R8 then it would be a paid mod and a lot of stuff would be made from scratch. My ability to stick to one thing long enough to finish it isn't that great so what would you recommend I do after the 600?

[drowsy leaf]

Something that is simple enough but that you can't just use vanilla assets

Or alternatively
Use the 600 to learn how to model and texture engines/suspensions instead of using erk800 stuff

Like after you've released it I mean

[pine zodiac]

Yeah maybe

[drowsy leaf]

Oh there's also another German brand which is Roth but that's just Opel

[pine zodiac]

Since opel has a UK version called vauxhall, does Roth have a UK version too?

[drowsy leaf]

Nope officially

But if you ever wanted to make one I'm sure the developer of the original (waboll) would be on board since he was remaking the Roth alpha

[placid ridge]

I had no idea about Arima being Toyota. Thank you lots.

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @drowsy leaf (current: #44 - 83)

[pine zodiac]

I do wanna make my own lore friendly brand though because then that gives me the ability to make everything exactly the way I want it

A clean slate

[lapis trellis]

it's fanon, because a lot of toyota inspired cars are still Ibishu

[placid ridge]

Well, I think Arima fits my name better. I'm gonna keep it this way.

[pine zodiac]

@drowsy leaf is there a Volvo brand?

[drowsy leaf]

Nah at that they are hirochi not ibishu

Ibishu is mainly Nissan/honda

While hirochi is more of Subaru/Mitsubishi/Toyota

Mazda is more of a hirochi imo but it can fit both

[drowsy leaf]

Jargl, unused official brand, no lore ever made apart from name

Then zaal which is Saab

[pine zodiac]

Jargl sounds like some sort of noise you would make while gargling water

Here's an interesting one: lotus

Is there a brand for it?

[cyan drum]

don't think so

the somewhat closest would be blackpool I think

and that's more of a caterham/ariel mix

[latent ivy]

on gangalang how do you add a slot into the slot type

[thin widget]

Wtf where’d zaal come from

[queen nymph]

inb4 the polyhaven photographer

[harsh knot]

And there is a Gill-Rowe which is based on Jaguar.

[placid ridge]

By that logic, Rowe is Rover.

[drowsy leaf]

Unreleased sunburst rebadge that made it look like a Saab from a while ago

[drowsy leaf]

Walmsley and Stirling too

Hi, I'm taking a step towards a mod pack I'm making, I made it with parts from the game itself, I'm not good at making bodykits, variants and skins and my PC is terrible, so if anyone can help me do these things while I do the basics I'll be grateful :))

the wip mod that I took the step is on the beamng forums, it's more summarized there

[placid arrow]

Someone dm mods i should get

[tall silo]

check the pinned messages, there are a bunch of good mods there

those are likely the highest quality mods that are available for the game

List of irl car mods?

[fervent crag]

here is that list #mods-discussion message

there is a section for irl cars

Here is a thread on the forum with a list, https://www.beamng.com/threads/the-irl-cars-mod-list-for-v0-36-07-07-2025-update.102506/

[dense jungle]

"fake mods"
jfc, every mod in that list is better than every real brand mod on the forums, minus 1 or 2

[thick niche]

most beam members stick with lore plus, if you want real cars USE THE FORUMS and quit asking here , if there not on the beam forum, guess what? Then there is none.

Anyone know why the Satsuma expansion, specifically the sedan body, is broken?

[wheat jungle]

hi, i need help aligning a texture to glass of the car... using material editor, anybody know how? im new.

[inner karma]

I am so angry right now

[drowsy leaf]

Why

[inner karma]

Since people are to lazy to make the mod I want I deiced to make it myself and I want to a model site where they had a car model for 8$ and I bought and and I was gonna use blender to tidy it up and and make it a mod BUT it a .max file so I can only use 3ds Max WITCH IS PAYWEAR Now I got rip off cuz the asshole who made the model decided to make it a .max file

I just want a beamng drive plymouth fury and I can't get it or even make it cuz idk how to make sutff in blender

[drowsy leaf]

First off
People don't have to make the mod you want because you want
2nd of all it's your skill issue since the model websites generally say what format is provided
Also there's probably a 3ds max importer

[dense jungle]

4th. chances are it also said the file format on the page

[drowsy leaf]

Oh and if you have no clue of how to blender then why are you spending money

Or how to mod beamng at all

[inner karma]

I meant how to completely make a model from scratch

I'm pissed cuz when I told chatgpt it said you can only use 3ds for .max files no other way

[dense jungle]

https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/io-scene-max/ dont trust ai

[inner karma]

I'm sorry for being rude I was just really pissed

Hello, I tried to scan the resources web page for some boxy and crappy kei car like a Honda N-Box or something but found basically nothing. If anyone knows of some hidden mods like that please let me know! Either lore-friendly or real, either free or paid, whatever. Many thanks

[thick niche]

here

[lapis trellis]

that's your first mistake, blindly trusting ai. It can and had been wrong.

[tired scroll]

I can confirm, just ask time to time "did you just made that up"? probably chatgpt will say, " oh, you are right, her is the corrected version" spoiler: it's another lie.

[dense jungle]

AI is a tool, it should be used as such and not relied on 100%

[tired scroll]

yeah, sure 100% but not for using it for syntax error, more like "I want this, here is the api, and 300 lua files examin them and tell me the options I have to do this job. use the IA to explore ways you don't know they exist. not for syntax. explore it to find another ways, and when you find a way fight with it to make it

[dense jungle]

thats not my point at all

Map is ass anyways

[latent ivy]

does anybody know if theres an expansion mod for the gavril barstow 4 cause I have the full mod but there arent that many configs
if you would not include the automatic versions of the configs there would only be like 8 configs

[drowsy leaf]

I mean there ain't much in terms of stock stuff

V6 V8 V8 sport and V8 special trim, like the irl mustang badically

And tuning wise I don't see it having anything more than a drift a race and a off-road/beater config

[latent ivy]

yeah but there are no like special editions or like the cobra r and even some other non paid mods have some special editions that kinda add to the lore

and theres like no facelift or prefacelift

no eu or configs from other coutrys

[latent ivy]

no Cobra no Bullitt and no Mach 1 no svt no saleen

[drowsy leaf]

isnt one of the configs a cobra??

https://www.beamng.com/resources/barstow-iv-muscle-pluspack.33536/

[latent ivy]

yeah but it shares the same bodykit as the regular roadsport all it adds is a wing and thats it

and the real cobra has a different front bumper than the terminator

ok so turns out this might just be a me issue, but I can't seem to get the Satsuma Expansion bodies to load. Anyone know what the issue might be?

[jade anvil]

I've tried both the repo version AND the forum version to no avail

[fathom veldt]

Would it be possible to potentially acquire the original, uncompiled material shaders file?

[dawn tiger]

What is the compiled version of the file called? and where is it?

[jade anvil]

I fixed it, I had to clear my cache!

[fathom veldt]

Haven’t gotten to look yet, just had an idea but realized it’s probably not an exposed shader. Do you know how to decompile for beam-torque?

[dawn tiger]

https://github.com/figment/Untorque There is this idk how well it works or if it will work for beam

[fathom veldt]

Well I can definitely try, thanks!

can anyone help me out with putting together a skin mod?

struggling with the jbeam and material files

i have the texture made already just need to put it together

[dense jungle]

Computer literacy is falling

[fathom veldt]

yo devs, could you please send me the game in sdk form so I can mess around with main material pixel shader. I want to add POM please.

yep yep, such a small little tiny ask, im sure tou can be so cool and awesome

pretty please expose the full material/pixel shader.

im sure there would be absolutely zero defragmenting from the game engine to do taht and it it would be super duper simply simple.

what if could just add a little "customShader": "myEpicPOMshader.hlsl" line to a material and the engine would be like “oh, you wanna do weird stuff? go for it, but only for this one material!” so, main pipeline stays totally safe and normal, but shader gremlins like me can slap POM or other chaos. does only make sense in my sleep-deprived shader brain? or not very neat.

boring lame engine material shader

i want cool exactly the same engine material shader but let me strap on a rocket engine

[sour dew]

Yea just not gonna happen

[slate sleet]

are there any good ones tho

i dont want modland mustangs

[dense jungle]

the gavril bastow 4 is the closest

We should go back to CLI computers so people have to know or suffer

CLIs are quite easy when you know the basics.

If you can remeber certain commands from memory then you can Google the rest.
Those commands being (in debians circumstances):
Sudo apt install firefox
/path/to/firefox

That opens firefox iirc.

This is mods-discussion. How did i get here

Is there a mod that could add a brighter headlights?

[merry dirge]

does anyone know how i can make custom horn?

[solid phoenix]

hi guys, is the me 262 mod still up on the repo or forums? i cant find it ANYWHERE. has it been taken down? if its still up can you guys give me a link to it

[past briar]

I have done some experiments with custom shaders, but I have only tried some simple post processing effects so far.

The games shaders are stored in source form in the games install directory under shaders\common\, if you make a mod that has the same path in it you can add/override shaders there without changing game files.

To get a custom shader to actually load in game you need to create some necessary objects in game through a lua script.
Or maybe you can define them inside a materials.json file, but I havent tried that.

You can use the Torque3D documentation for additional reference on the created objects, but some information might be outdated because the game uses its own customized version of the engine.

You need at least a ShaderData object:

• Game code for reference: BeamNG.drive\lua\ge\client\core.lua
• Torque3D docs: https://torque-3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/script/class/ShaderData.html

And either a PostEffect object for post processing effects:

• Game code for reference: BeamNG.drive\lua\ge\client\postFx\MotionBlurFx.lua or the other files in that folder
• Torque3D docs: https://torque-3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/script/class/PostEffect.html

or a CustomMaterial object for a custom material (I have not tried this):

• Game code for reference: BeamNG.drive\lua\ge\client\core.lua lines 839-887 for the water shader and material
• Torque3D docs: https://torque-3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/script/class/CustomMaterial.html

Shaders can also utilize GFXStateBlockData and GFXSamplerStateData objects, but I don't know much about them:

• Used in the water shader example above
• https://torque-3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/script/class/GFXStateBlockData.html
• https://torque-3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/script/class/GFXSamplerStateData.html

Also, the shaders are cached, so if you make any changes, you need to clear your cache or delete the temp\shaders folder inside your userfolder, and then restart the game to make them show up.

[fathom veldt]

The problem I’m having is the material shader I need to change is not exposed, it’s part of the game engine DLL. I have experience with post processing shaders, that’s pretty much easy because you just inject afterwards. I need to override the built in t3d material pixel shader to make the changes I want.

So yes, I could use inject another material shader per object by default. But I’d rather have a switch saying which pixel shader it’d use.

[past briar]

You can probably override all the default materials with CustomMaterials that use your own shader, but you would still have to make an entirely new shader if you can't modify the existing one

[sharp flower]

Yes there is its on repo i dont know exactly what its called but its something like advanced headlights

[fathom veldt]

That would work if I wanted to edit the post processing material shaders. I can swap those to whatever I want by default. However I can’t override the baked in t3d material pixel shaders.

My ‘proposition’ was to give materials a field to switch pixel shaders, not just ppfx

[wary bobcat]

Does anyone here use the default Beamng traffic? I'm curious the amount of cars people are able to spawn.

[rugged knoll]

Theres a limit lol, what are you exactly asking here

[wary bobcat]

I'm messing with the Ai.lua trying my best to optimize what i can before a pc rebuild i thought 15 cars was about the limit but since then we've had the simple traffic update. Before i hit the 60 upvalue limit of Lua i had 45 cars running in east coast on high settings keeping 60-65 fps. now I've got to Refactor planAhead so i was just curious what the amount of traffic some people run.

[cyan drum]

about 4 years

[abstract mango]

i've given up on jbeam

after being stuck in the same problematic part of the car for more than 2 years

[thin widget]

animations... arent a thing in this game afaik, took me a few months to understand the basics of jbeam

[dawn tiger]

Yea can use animated meshes but only on maps its not a thing on vehicles rn tdev said it was to complicated wh ni asked lol

[dawn tiger]

Car all day maps are easy its just pick and place objects in a sense

[dusky ginkgo]

you guys remember that mod which had a pickup truck with an RPG on the back bed?

that was sick

anybody have it

it's a whole months or years worth of process

[exotic vessel]

any tips or tricks when it comes to 3d modelling a car?
Im might be biting more than i can chew but im willing to try

[queen nymph]

with beam specifically, try to rely on normals rather than polygon geometry for detail (this'll improve performance on both the graphics and physics sides)

so you'll probably end up with high-poly models that you'll use to bake normal maps onto the lower-poly meshes that you'll use in-game

if you look at the various engine/gearbox meshes and their respective normal textures separately, you can see the true extent to which normal maps are used

[exotic vessel]

oh boy. Hmm. i might start with learning blender first.

[dark dove]

Zach has a similar falcon ur already in his server

[placid arrow]

Can someone find these mods on the offical site beamng.com im looking for Jeeps, Nissans, Fords, Chevrolet, dodge, Honda, im jsut looking for maybe a chevelle nova or jeep cheerokee Nissan 350z stuff like that and maybe a 1970s Ford, Honda civic (old/new) dm me if you know stuff like that on the offical site.

and in a few words, how do you post a mod to the repository?

My friend was downloading every mod he was seeing on the repository , there were alot of them with 10 downloads or 20 , can they be malware?

[supple wedge]

Hi guys, everyone!!! Listen, there's a question... Can you create a mod that will be an Eliminator game mode, like in Forza Horizon 5? That would be cool! Does anyone have the opportunity to do it?

[drowsy leaf]

Hey, use google

[blazing whale]

Does anyone know how to post a mod pack to the repository or compress the configurations you made for the cars to post to the repo?

Please, does anyone know? Because I need to know because soon I'm going to post a mod pack I made on the forums

last version was done on 2022, so maybe it still work but I wouldn't expect much https://www.beamng.com/threads/2018-dodge-durango-srt.82375/page-5#post-1442296

it's an etk 800 meshslap after all

I'm being real with you, if that's being a dick head then sure I am. I don't want you to get high expectations about it then get disappointed

[tall silo]

if you want to see how good a mod is, the best way is to just try it out

idk whats wrong with saying that

[drowsy leaf]

???? He's just telling you to try lol

Like we can't just be trying out mods just for you specifically

You try it and then if you don't like it you remove it

[drowsy leaf]

its in beamng.com its safe

and even if it had a virus most people in this server wouldnt even know

[lapis trellis]

scan the mod before using it if anything

[turbid yarrow]

any idea how i can fix mods not having a texture at all?

[lapis trellis]

clear the cache, it's a launch option. If that doesn't do it, look at the date since it's probably too old

[turbid yarrow]

I deep cleaned and regularly cleaned cache, i reinstalled my game i disabled mods and all everything else, and yet no textures are appearing, Its from JEVI's BX series engine remaster, don't know if im the only person struggling with this problem...

[lapis trellis]

do you have other mods? Maybe they are interfering

[jagged hare]

Your a d head

[turbid yarrow]

as i stated i disabled them all apart from the mod im trying to fix and yet still 0 texture

[cyan drum]

well the mod is just broken then lol

[turbid yarrow]

welp, i guess im waiting for the update then lol thanks anyway

[vestal pilot]

20kb per frame is alot. You could consider caching objects like vectors and colors https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/programming/performance/#avoid-garbage-collection

then your avg runtime is >2ms. For comparison a systems running the game at 60fps has only 16ms todo all its stuff, so 2ms alot. Or for another comparison, my pwu mod takes 0.32ms avg and the devs called that already tanking the performance.

[dense jungle]

#mods-faq

[vestal pilot]

an example of caching vec objects

i think its awful for code readability, but thats whats available

doing that reduced the garbage 10 times. havent measured the performance difference, should be alot better given that it doesnt create new objects anymore

[tired scroll]

woof, I think here is my dead-line as a non-programmer chatgpt experiment... maybe I will push it and learn about it... if not I'm still avble to publish the files as they are on the formus I guess? for everyone that can use it? Also if my PC is potato 10 years old, DDR3, that can make my ms look different in comparasion to run the same code on a pc master race? Well, I will take a look later! I hope I can reduce that!

later on I will take a look at caching that! maybe its time to dump chatgpt and learn about beamng

its debug draw quad... it consume a bit.... on a large circuit, if I put the full table (4000 points) it get down to 13fps... right now I only draw 50quads, since they are not persitence I need to redraw them each frame... chat gpt couldn't find any other option, I tried to find on the files the waypoint navigation stuff, but I think that is on the c++ side of the game, so that was the idea, drawing the quads and changing the colour based on thorttle brake inputs stored

but its so beautiful seeing the full racetrack with all the different lines of each lap, but on nordshlife gets a bit laggy haha

debugDrawer:drawQuadSolid(quad.p1, quad.p2, quad.p3, quad.p4,
ColorF(quad.color.r, quad.color.g, quad.color.b, quad.color.a))

[vestal pilot]

I see. Do you draw the entire line with each frame or do you have a sort of render distance?

[tired scroll]

while #ghostQuads > maxQuads do
table.remove(ghostQuads, 1)
end
end

-- Dibujar todos los quads guardados (sin recalcular)
if ghostQuads and type(ghostQuads) == "table" then
for _, quad in ipairs(ghostQuads) do
debugDrawer:drawQuadSolid(quad.p1, quad.p2, quad.p3, quad.p4,
ColorF(quad.color.r, quad.color.g, quad.color.b, quad.color.a))
end
else
print("[WARN] ghostQuads no está inicializada o no es tabla")
end

[vestal pilot]

That ColorF there could be cached and instead be set with every frame. colorf is pretty wasteful

[tired scroll]

So when I calculate all 4 points, instead of a table, I can cache all of them?

[vestal pilot]

So you are drawing from car until a set max amount?

[tired scroll]

Calculate 4 points (so they start on the ghostcar position(alredy stored) and finish on the last position so they touch -> save it on a table -> draw the table, limit the table

I'm not getting the ghostcarposition live, I have the table with all the interpolations made and I pick from there

[vestal pilot]

more like this

local VARBUF = {}

VARBUF.myFunction = {vec3(), vec3(), vec3(), vec3(), ColorF(0, 0, 0, 0)}
local function myFunction()
  local qp1, qp2, qp3, qp4, color = unpack(VARBUF.myFunction)
  
  -- whereever quad.pN comes from
  -- ...

  qp1:set(quad.p1)
  qp2:set(quad.p2)
  qp3:set(quad.p3)
  qp4:set(quad.p4)
  
  color.r, color.g, color.b, color.a = quad.color.r, quad.color.g, quad.color.b, quad.color.a
  debugDrawer:drawQuadSolid(qp1, qp2, qp3, qp4, color)
end

and now its zero waste

[vestal pilot]

what is maxQuads?

like how many

[tired scroll]

50

[vestal pilot]

thats fine

this is 10k per chunk, only runs fluid when i dont produce any new objects with each render frame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIcnMCPB5IE

[tired scroll]

wow! impressive!

[vestal pilot]

The way that works and i dont know if thats applicable to you, is that all the math that determines where things are drawn with whatever color is calculated in a job (or in your case during the load of the ghost) and then it just does a for loop through the results with each frame and draws it

[tired scroll]

I did tried to pre calculate all of them and havin them stored, but the game did start at 15 frames and stayed at 15frames, drawing them at once each frame... If I only calculate the last 2 and have all them stored I end up at the same 15 frames bu at the end of the lap, (on long laps)

but I'm stupid and I didn't try to limit them while having pre calculated, I did show me all you got! but not limiting them, are you using quaddraw too?

[vestal pilot]

super cheap draw

[vestal pilot]

not at all, using drawbox

[tired scroll]

can drawbox accept 4 points? I need 4 points for the curves to connect the 2 points(direction of the car) to 2 last points for continuity if not I end up with stairs, like this early tests

[vestal pilot]

But imagine, your drawing 50 quads, with 4 vecs and 1 color object with each frame. thats 250 lua objects per frame. is likely one of the reasons why the gc isnt happy

[vestal pilot]

no just 2

[tired scroll]

also for inclination and direction I couldn't figure a way to do it on drawbox, and also my monkey brain was like, well a box have 6 faces, quad have 1, quad is good.

I can do drawline, but has no width and looks small

[vestal pilot]

true but its drawn on the c++ side .D

So the plan of yours can be to calculate everything needed for a ghost replay then when its loaded and to cache it in the format the final call to the render will need it. So that the actual render can be as cheap as possible

[vestal pilot]

this here for example produces 0 waste

for 10k blocks, each having 2 vecs and 1 color

Like actually 0, gcprobe() literally doesnt return anything

[tired scroll]

for what I have tested is, the bottle neck is getting into the 4.000 entrys of a table to find the position, not the drawing, if I have them pre-calculate I run to the problem if I want to draw them on the ghostcar position, I need to enter the table and find the position, if I want to draw only 50m from player radius, the same, I tried to split the table in subtables and have a 0-300 have X to Y so I only search on that minitable, But I found no real benefit, maybe I was wrong?

I will try to implement the cache stuff on what I have now, and see if I can improve it! thanks for the tips!

[vestal pilot]

you could do the distance eval in a job that runs in the background that feeds a render pipe that the actual per frame render uses

[vestal pilot]

it might not help much to see how i eval and then render the blocks, but maybe the structure helps. it boots the job when needed. in there im even caching the tables per pos, because otherwise the build job alone would waste 30k tables

Its slower caching the tables, but on the contrary the gc wont cause stutter

[mild elbow]

So i have this problem with a 66 chevrolet c10 my friend made the right taillight is weaker then the left i am not a modder i do not know how to fix this i just wanna try anyway

[peak cipher]

Let me clear something up: Many people think that zip files can contain viruses. Even if they do, you don't run them yourself, nor is there an .exe file. Many "noobs" get redirected to third-party sites that then open another tab during the download, and people are so stupid that they fall for the pop-ups. Or they click on an ad that says "download." So in short, as long as you don't run anything yourself, it's "safe." But if someone gives you a mod installer, that's a red flag.

But I would still stay away from Modland

afaik the materialOverride parameter only works for flexbodies, so you'd need to make duplicates in blender that are assigned to a different material

this may not be possible if the glow map for the needles is already defined, but a simpler and hackier method would be to specify different on and off materials in the glow map
