[quick flax]

#mods-faq

[torn grove]

Is that a different program or is it in the game files?

[torn grove]

Yes but there’s not gonna just be “mk3 Supra” it’s gonna have a beamng friendly name lol

[torn grove]

On steam?

[quick flax]

no google

[torn grove]

I want to edit values nothing with 3d modeling is it still in blender?

[quick flax]

[torn grove]

Ok cool I’ll investigate, thank you, cuz I don’t have blender lol

[timber spire]

I know this is not the right chat, but does anyone in here know how to get the materials from other maps into my map I’m trying to make a map in auxiliary tutorial map or whatever it’s called and all I have is grass and beach sand and I copied everything from West Coast and everything went black and I tried changing the name from West Coast to my game name, but it still didn’t work. Does anyone have any idea how I can get more materials?

[oblique nova]

Hello gentlemen just got the game. My 3 year old addicted to the monster truck youtube vids. Mind letting me know which mod i should get for him?

[timber spire]

There’s this one mod that gives every single car in a monster truck frame https://www.beamng.com/resources/universal-monster-frame.28921/

You can also get them from mod land like actual monster trucks, but I wouldn’t recommend going on most mods don’t work and some can give your computer viruses

[oblique nova]

looking for the offical monster jam trucks

This has monster trucks in it. It shows you how to download them to, but I’m not 100% sure if that website is safe.

I would recommend using a virus scanner before you put it into your game

And no problem

[oblique nova]

1 more question possble to do game+ mods on steam deck?

[timber spire]

What do you mean plus game mods?

[oblique nova]

does the game work on steam deck? and can u mod it on deck

[torn grove]

Probably cuz the steam deck runs on Linux

[oblique nova]

great ty

[timber spire]

I just did some research and you can play it on steam deck but not 100% sure if you can get mods outside of the repository

[keen mountain]

[grizzled walrus]

dude just asked if anything has been made lmao

[slender stirrup]

Has anyone in here ever tried to convert a mod from Farmsim to beamng? (with perms of course)

[quick flax]

passive aggressive

[waxen cliff]

anyone know how to import dae files in the new blender 5.0 I cant seem to find it

[grizzled walrus]

not an example of passive aggressive, just aggressive + not a good thing

[quick flax]

File>import>collada(.dae)

[waxen cliff]

thats no popping up for me

[quick flax]

take it easy man
just a joke

[quick flax]

what part isnt?
Just ”file”?

[grizzled walrus]

no clue what type of joke that was... you were pretty rude to the other guy

[quick flax]

Upper left i think

[quick flax]

literally how were i rude

[waxen cliff]

i click on file and import but its not in the import options

[grizzled walrus]

right...

[quick flax]

i always thought it was the first one after import

[quick flax]

yeah
the best creations are the ones you make

literally how were i rude
I think you misunderstood

[waxen cliff]

it normally is but its not a option anymore for me

[quick flax]

If so i cant help, maybe im not on 5.0 or so, for me its the first option

[waxen cliff]

oh if your not in 5.0 then you wont see new chages

[quick flax]

i always thought i updated it tho

yeah idk
im not the very best person for asking this

maybe ask in #3d-modelling

The e34 is very good

[nimble valley]

Ive beed making a simple mod for beamng and in the console it keeps saying app not found: Speed_Chime but i never define Speed_Chime in any file or directory name? everywhere its speedChime, i followed the naming convention. does beamng need it to be Speed_Chime somewhere?

you shouldnt play with a tesla battery pack

lithium ion batteries are dangerous and most battery packs in modern vehicles are made of that

[drowsy leaf]

why do you want a battery pack in beamng?

i whant a TESLA pack

[drowsy leaf]

why would you want a tesla battery pack in beamng

they are BATTERIES

bro a modded pack in beam ng

[drowsy leaf]

you should not modify electric battery packs in beamng or in real life

[placid ridge]

Are you doing this on purpose?

it might be a wee bit of trolling

@tender girder theres no good tesla mod packs that i know of

This is random, but as of recent (more than before) I've been hearing a lot of people really advising against downloading mods from modland or beamngdrivemods, and I'm curious if there's anywhere to reliably find irl car models that are high quality while simultaneously being safe downloads

I just don't want any malware but really enjoy seeing the high quality models people produce sometimes

[drowsy leaf]

most of the good modland mods are just stolen from there

[hollow lagoon]

is it common for mod icons to be 96 DPI, and should they all be? I'm taking the tango mod as example

[queen nymph]

they get downscaled automatically, i tried to make mine 128x128 but it didn't work

[hollow lagoon]

I should probably use the default 72 DPI, yes?

[queen nymph]

why would you want it crustier though? 96x is already plenty small for optimization purposes

[hollow lagoon]

72 is what photopea originally gives me and I wanna recreate those to test

[queen nymph]

oh

misunderstood what you meant by dpi at first

that metric is only really relevant for printing stuff on paper and/or gauging the "fineness" of an electronic pixel display

if you're just dealing with digital-only images, you can ignore that setting

Can someone help

I cannot activate mods online on beam mp i even created my own server and they are always decativated and wont let me reactivate.

ive tried removing mods, installing them one at a time and they are in my mods folder they only work offline. They use to work online when it was installed under vehicles instead of mod folder but now nothing works.

[rose rampart]

do you guys know any good mod for indestructible wheels? (and tires)

[rose rampart]

happened to me a while ago, check that they're in the client folder inside Resources in your beamng root folder

then check your server config too, it should show "Resources" in the "ResourceFolder = " line

if you need more help js dm me

i think they're open

oh and everything is case sensitive in the config file (from what i know)

Pretty sure the gavril vertex has some, don't know if they are usable on other vehicles tho

I found the pickup suspension and I think it is the same so thank you

Yea its in vehicles>common>pickup

It runs all the pickup stuffs

JBeam collision data in blender 😎 [WIP addon]

[dark dove]

Hmm thats interesting

[thin widget]

true jbeam or vertex based?

and is it real-time

[oblique stump]

wdym vertex based?

its records jbeam data in realtime if thats what u mean

[thin widget]

yeah poorly worded on my part, i mean like does it use a lowpoly coll mesh like normal jbeam or does it use the highpoly mesh for collisions

[oblique stump]

oh it does collision almost equivalent to the way beamng does

[thin widget]

oh shit thats really cool

[oblique stump]

:D

[thin widget]

did you set up some kinda input system?

if its realtime

[oblique stump]

no you can use replays, or just record everything live as you play

Its not a huge performance hit tho

surprisingly

[thin widget]

very interesting

yet another way for me to waste time in blender instead of doing what i should be

it would be cool if you could run the sim inplace to see how stable the jbeam will be without launching the game

would make troubleshooting a lot easier

[oblique stump]

yea unfortunately theres no actual physics going on in blender beside the surface deform with geometry nodes, and idk how accurate that is to how the game does it

[magic charm]

Is there any rpm crusie control mod like a hand throttle for a tractor? 🙂

[dawn tiger]

Most plane mods do something like that. You may be able to do something with it to make one for cars.

[sterile dragon]

That'll make for some cool crashings for blender.

[frozen osprey]

GUYS

PLEASE I NEED THIS

whats the r32 mod

[somber coral]

Can anyone fix this I payed for this mod btw

[crimson lion]

Prob a scam my friend

Meshslap

Check the jbeam

[quick flax]

u got scammed pal

[somber coral]

I know

[sour dew]

And who’s mod is it?

[sour dew]

Stop saying stuff just because someone else did lol

[somber coral]

Rhinos

[sour dew]

Not a scam probably just conflict

[somber coral]

No I’ve disabled all
Mods but that one same issue

[sour dew]

Yea you bought from a reseller, that’s your fault

[quick flax]

looks like a d series with a slightly changed grille

[sour dew]

No.. looks exactly like a 1980s ford truck.. lol

He just bought it from a reseller so technically yes he was scammed but if they included the other textures you needed he wouldn’t have been

[dark dove]

There is not “a” r32 mod

[swift void]

This aged well

But it has yet to be released

Im already rolling in my grave

[frozen osprey]

Theres is and i found it

[dark dove]

There is not “a” specific r32 mod.

There are r32 mods, but you have to specify what you’re talking about

[nova ledge]

not a single texture in sight 😭

[blazing oak]

If i delete mods from my servers resource files do my clients have to delete it from their mods folder as well?
Because the mods that i deleted from my server i cannot find them in the clients mods folder.

[limpid knot]

how do i fix this?

[orchid coral]

Anyone know of a diesel mod for the covet? With tunability if possible. I know there are some old 1.9tdi mods but they don't work well anymore so I'm looking for something more recent

[sharp grove]

Nope haha

[lilac island]

just wondering is kenemation mods on modland legit?

[cyan drum]

avoid modland

[lilac island]

why?

[cyan drum]

ass mods and high prices

also not very safe

[lilac island]

ok got that

[dense jungle]

and kenemation, to put it simple, garbage mods

[dusky ginkgo]

i asked this in the other channel but is there a way to add license plates to aircraft? i know it sounds kinda silly
but i want to use it to put a dummy inside of a plane using the agenty universal dummy mod which requires a license plate
i just want to know if its possible and how to do it

[tawny lynx]

So is this what beam's future is... Now that companies using beamng mods to advertise

[stiff lark]

Yep, so we need to boycott them and cancel them on X, Facebook, PS play, Nitendo Switch etc. Just give them 1 star, no need to even comment if you don't want to. Make Beamng a living hell for corpo, millionaire, and billionaire to get in.

[halcyon mantle]

guys

can somebody make a 2011/2013/2016 lexus lx mod?

[dark dove]

I know someone

Their name is

You

[nimble valley]

imagine how many months or years it would take to make good lexus lx mod.

[woeful badger]

does anybody have a zip with alot of good car trucks and non ui/game grahpics etc mods for beamng that could share with me?

[dark dove]

Months that probably only he will be invested in doing

[dark dove]

No. That would be reuploading/leaking. illegal under copyright

[woeful badger]

i mean free mods that are online

[dark dove]

Still reuploading

Which is illegal under copyright and most creators dont want u to do anyway

[woeful badger]

ok

[manic pollen]

what are some hypercars like GD808 or the V10 destroyer?

[cyan drum]

the gd808 and the v10 destroyer

[split crater]

Anybody know of any mods that adds like a building with a big garage to put cars in, on the west coast map?

[dark dove]

@lean rapids might have something similar on his rework

[vernal hull]

has anyone made a drift kit for the scintilla?

[queen nymph]

nothing for steering angle to my knowledge, but the bolt-on fenders, a turbo kit, and a set of 533s or c70-2s should get you most of the way there

[pine zodiac]

Any 1st gen Opel/Vauxhall Insignia mods?

[pine zodiac]

Lore friendly*

[dusky ginkgo]

so ive been modeling an a10 for beamng

and im done separating the model into parts

but i have no clue how to make the jbeams in blender

is there anywhere I can start i have the jbeam editor addon for blender

[dense jungle]

he specified them being free, thats not a copyright violation

free real brands are allowed as it's fair use except for ferrari
charging for them is whats illegal

[split vale]

How high poly is the A10 model?

[ionic rock]

Ascari or warthog

[upbeat aurora]

does anyone know if theres a mod to make tankers work correctly in career mode? just bought a t series with a tanker upfit and it wont let me fill it up

[vernal hull]

damn

[dark dove]

U sure? Aint it distribution of someones ip or sum like that?

[dense jungle]

its under fair use

[dark dove]

Huh

Still a lot of creators dont like they’re free stuff being distributed

[dense jungle]

thats different, if its being reuploaded without authorisation, then its a dmca but if its free and uploaded originally, then it isnt

[dark dove]

Yea thats not what im talking abt lol

Like someone taking my free mods for example, and sending the files to randoms

[stiff lark]

So is the Sixt map die yet?

[ionic rock]

Nop

[still fulcrum]

hey, anyone knows if i can use the beamLR mod on a beamMP server?

Aww Man U should

Yea lol

what

[dry quarry]

Biggest nonsense ive ever seen

i love these things lmao

like air conditioning

such good functionality of a light iluminating and a number changing

[dry quarry]

Except these things mostly get added to meshlaps

(sarcasm)

(Yea I realized too late)

i love me some royalrenderings m2 still having k series in the filenames

they get way too defensive too quick about it

Its slop for the masses

[cyan drum]

and jpeg artifacts in textures somehow???

[thin widget]

Beamng has become too mainstream

[cyan drum]

I sometimes forget how big beam is

[thin widget]

Yeah its deadass mainstream now sadly

[cyan drum]

insane

[thin widget]

Shit pmo

I was wondering why carx mfs are so good at everything and its lowk cause its so niche

I miss 2018 beamng

[dense jungle]

back to debugging this mod ig

[thin widget]

Before the forums got overrun

[dry quarry]

Jezus

[dry quarry]

Or the “carplay”🫠

[dense jungle]

i dont get this game

i just dont

i spent WAY too long trying to debug this jbeam only to reload it and it works fine now, well as fine as it is, it's got no beams yet, just nodes

i mean, it doesnt load the mesh anymore now but it loads the jbeam so im still happy with that

just refreshing the tray

its roberts roamer chop

[dark dove]

Yea thought so

[boreal harness]

i didnt really bother doing one

i just did like QOL improvements on roberts

[dark dove]

Yea ok

Nice

[dark dove]

Should make an extended chassis so u can offset the rear axle further back

[boreal harness]

yeah

was thinking about doing that while i bb some stuff for the suspension

like extended shackles for the leaf springs

[dark dove]

Yea

[boreal harness]

hows your mods going?

[dark dove]

Good

[boreal harness]

nice

[dark dove]

Got my own pickup/roamer suspension, roamer headlights, and doing some chops soon. Made good progress from what i used to do

[old stone]

Hi guys. I've been working on a functional fueltech mod a while and i'm a bit tired and stressed with it. Is there any mod that i can made engine tune like ignition point, air/fuel mix and stuffs like this?

FIVEM have some servers where you can do this tings, and i think its LUA scripts, just like in beamng

[dawn tiger]

Even with lua nothing in fivem or gtav is simulated. If you want to do something like that you will need to make your own combustion_engine controller. And make lua code to simulate all of those things then add a ui to be able to adjust those values. Hasn't been done in beam and even if it has its probably just changing the sound for the engine and not how it actually runs.

[mortal remnant]

Ive had this idea for a mod that lets you control your car in the air like GTAV. Think like invisible little “thrusters” connected to the vehicle that apply distributed force downward against the surface they are attached to. And then just script the controls somehow so that if at least 1 tire is not touching a ground surface, it activates the thruster controls. The thrusters could be tweaked like adjusting the amount of force, or the total surface area of the attached thruster node could be increased or decreased to help prevent damage to the car from excessive force. It’s probably far fetched but it would be cool to be able to control your vehicle orientation in the air

[neat meadow]

Maybe something like tiny weak JATOs would do the trick.

[thick niche]

Already is one from randomminds just not released

[dawn tiger]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/skyrider-ultimate.30848/
This is similar ish

[boreal harness]

Alright

[boreal harness]

Does anyone know if there is like coils chassis for the roamer instead of coilovers?

[flat bane]

anyone know how i could put a transbrake on a miramar

[dark dove]

Dont think so, but i may be right the hopper is coils? If so ill try put the hopper suspension onto my dseries/roamer 4link

[boreal harness]

Yeah the hopper is coils in just sick of constantly using op coil overs

[dark dove]

Yea well u can use my suspension if u want, rear 4link coilover front 3link, they’re vanilla coilover meshlaps but way longer travel and softer. But still a bit ass compared to like nix etc

[boreal harness]

interesting ill be in touch if i ever need it🤙

[urban wasp]

Is there any way to spawn .dae's via ConsoleNG?

[lapis lance]

what are u think about this guys?

[queen nymph]

not too keen on the roof spoiler, since it's "stepped" down from the actual roofline

so its effect on aero would be dubious at best

[lapis lance]

Yeah, but I don't know how to do it any other way. Miramar has too much of a bevel

[queen nymph]

i'd just not do one there at all, trunk should be enough

[lapis lance]

Maybe, but I was thinking of repeating this type of roof spoiler.

I took a photo near my house ahahaha

[queen nymph]

at least have it start higher than the top of the window then

[lapis lance]

yep

[tall schooner]

yall, i remember something about a new beamng map mod, but i cant seem to remember the name, it was i think a 4x4km or 8x8km map mod, nice cruising roads, quite some hills from what i remember, and super detailed, at least they said in the description. i faintly remember one of the screenshots which i can sketch. can someone help me identify it?

[dark dove]

Uh American Roads?

[tall schooner]

no

quite a new map mod, should have been released recently

[dark dove]

Hmm

U got any faint idea of a name?

[tall schooner]

i think it had something with valley or something like that in the name, although im not sure

the screenshot i remember had a road that was going left, and grass to the right of it which was going downhill, and then to the left a little uphill

i think at least

[dark dove]

Ah kinda rings a bell but i can’t remember

[tall schooner]

yea i have the same problem

[dark dove]

Just search valley on the forums

Might come up

Otherwise idk, ill let yk if i remember

[tall schooner]

i went on the repo and sorted by update, but i went through multiple pages and didnt find it

ill try the forum

O I THINK I REMEMBER

IT HAD TO DO WITH THE RLS CAREER MOD, I THINK THE DEV OF THE RLS CAREER MOD MADE THE MAP

its a little diff from what i remember, but idk if this is it

YEP @dark dove I FOUND IT, its called "the gap"

it has support for RLS career overhaul, thats what i remembered

U do it in material editor in the world editor

[summer arrow]

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to put a rim into the game?

I just finished this and want to use it in-game, i found one tutorial but in a language i don't understand.

[dusk gust]

does anyone here happen to know what mod this is?

[spark locust]

.

[wild osprey]

choose a rim that is nearly the same size, go into the .jbeam file of it and copy it, change the flexbody and that should be it

[vestal pumice]

It's really outdated and it probably doesn't work anymore

But it's called the Doyler beagle

[dusk gust]

thats just outright wrong

i did use the doyler before,it was very miramar like as far as i remember

anywho the doyler and that look quite a bit different

[vestal pumice]

Oh I guess it is something else then

I haven't used the doyler in a years so I didn't remember exactly what it looked like

[agile briar]

How hard would it be to put the high end h-series front on a d-series (I have never modded before)

[strong shuttle]

its for sure a toyota cressida and i found a post of a cressida mod that looks identical but its so outdated that i cant find it so youll have to do that yourself https://www.beamng.com/threads/development-screens-each-post-contains-a-picture-or-contributing-post.1575/page-471

🙏

[dusk gust]

mm,difficult

[dark dove]

Uh not sure tbh

Depends on the detail u want

[dark dove]

And the jbeam name…

And display name

Someone's already done it with the other h-series fascias

[molten veldt]

Just cause you removed ads dosen't automatically mean its enough

[dawn tiger]

They also said in there comments on tiktok that they were going to release the cars shown in there video. which showed all real cars and a monster truck like bro you cant legally make those and give them out especially as a huge company.

[boreal harness]

What isz thwe beef here

[stiff lark]

They need to both apologises publicly for this whole thing, or just delete the map all together, delete it on Gumroad, Patreon, etc too.

Or we going to boycott them both, give every single map that Spen did 1 star, etc. Set this as an example when a creator decided to work with corpo.

[frank cove]

Map creators deserve to be paid. So just prepare for less and less free maps if you don't want advertising

None of us want to do it as a charity

And in my opinion it is incredibly entitled to think otherwise

[dawn tiger]

The map was only made as an ad lol. Not a map with ads.

For a game primarily comprised of children that cant even use the service

[frank cove]

That's just a poor advertising decision on the rental companies front imo

its a 1000% legal and large company so I don't think any blame should be put on Spencer

[dawn tiger]

I mean they could have made a paid map dudes one of the most popluar map creators

But yea i dont blame dude he just made it for them

[frank cove]

Not saying it was 1000% perfectly executed but to say that spealer deserves to have his reputation ruined for trying to make his talents into a profitable buisness is insane.
Especially with how much he has done in the way of tutorials

[frank cove]

These same people would be complaining about a paid map lol

Can't win

[dawn tiger]

I mean probably lol. Most losers here hate supporting the creators but love the content lol

[frank cove]

I wish Beam had an offical and verifed paid mods section tbh

Cut out the subscription real life car slop and allow talented creators an easier revenue to a profitable buisness/side hustle

[dawn tiger]

I mean that will still exist and still be more popular and profitable than an official paid mods section. I mean minecraft did it and people hated it

But would be cool

[frank cove]

On the contrary it works well for MXB Bikes (though thats semi offical iirc)

Would need to be executed carefully 100%

Would need a robust verification system with some existing free download requirments and required demo (granted demos are harder to do with maps)

[dawn tiger]

You get one road to look atthe textures lol

[stiff lark]

I mean, if he work with them, he also partly at fault.

[frank cove]

How so?

What fault even is there lol

Its a free map that you don't have to play

[dawn tiger]

True. I dont think they (creator) should be reviewed poorly but the company definitely didn't know the audience they were trying to scrape for money.

[frank cove]

How dare someone take advertising money on a free map that is optional to play

lol

[frank cove]

Yeah 100% a weird advertising choice lol but thats on them not Spencer

Something like Moza or Fanatec would make more sense

[stiff lark]

Man, if you decided to take advert for a gamba service for example, you are also at fault.

[frank cove]

Yeah but its not a gambling service or anything REMOTELY illegal

Its a car rental company advertising in a game about cars

[stiff lark]

The same company that been doing shady stuff with its customer.

He should hae known better

[frank cove]

I know nothing about Sixt tbh

I know its a rental company but thats it

[frank cove]

So I looked it up. "Shady stuff" is a funny way to say they are doing what rental car companies have done for the last 50 years lol

Overcharging for damages is the main issue I see.

I don't think it is Spencers responsibility to check the buisness dealings of someone sponsoring him when it is a legal and global company

And their worst controversy I can find is a 10mil lawsuit over charging customers too much for damage the customer caused

TLDR :

How dare someone take advertising money on a free map that is optional to play lol

[dawn tiger]

I mean i kinda get it. bro chose to advertise to a mainly child audience knowing the game is mostly children.

[stiff lark]

If we allow this, then in the future the repo going to be full of ads posing as mods.

I already have enough of Fridges have ads lol

[frank cove]

Ok? And the market will decide to not download those maps if they don't want to play them

[stiff lark]

Yeah so review them badly.

Make sense, thats what people are doing, no?

[dawn tiger]

You cant review it if you havent used it

[frank cove]

Still dumb imo. But more valid

Certainly don't witch hunt the creators lmao

[frank cove]

You can 1000%

I left a supportive review on it and did not download it (not my type of map)

[stiff lark]

You can somehow.

[dawn tiger]

That is dumb you shouldnt be able to review something you havent used thats false reviews

[frank cove]

Yeah I agree. Should have a minimum playtime count too imo

[stiff lark]

For me, I think it better to push away any corpo connected stuff than to have any.

[frank cove]

A seperate feedback and reviews section would be good too. Particularly for pre full release content

[dawn tiger]

Hopefully the new repo in the works is better. We need it.

[stiff lark]

Cancel them all rather than leaving anything behind if you know what I mean.

[frank cove]

By pushing out the corporations you also hurt the individual. You directly hurt the individual creator.

The only entities that can withstand that storm is large corporations that can withstand the storm

By attacking individuals that earn money from corporations you inadvertantly support the corporations

This is basically the direct tactic Walmart used to close any competing family owned stores btw

Outcompete the local stores by losing money from that location until the local store is out of business and then raise the prices when they are gone.

By review bombing individuals and making them "go out of buisness" you only will make it easier for larger companies that can take the storm because they will have no competition

Support local buisness and support individual creatives

[dawn tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/the-wolf-of-wall-street-eat-the-rich-chanting-enjoying-meeting-gif-17464576

[stiff lark]

Well the way is see is that if this goes bad for one creator, the rest won't dare do the same.

[dawn tiger]

MOney is money it will def happen more now that people see it as a viable payment option

[frank cove]

I think your goals aren't horrible but your fight is mis-aimed.

You are aimed at individual and separate creators. If they are gone then a larger company would have no competition in the market.
And there clearly is some form of market

I agree that we should keep large corporations away from making paid creative content (like with the Minecraft store)

It will never be as high quality as a passionate individual

But we should not attack the individual, especially one as upstanding and helpful to the community as Spencer has been.

[stiff lark]

I suppose

[frank cove]

Keep fighting the fight with those that deserve to be fought with

Just pick and choose wisely 🙂

[glacial lily]

anyone know of any free 1973-1987 chevy/gavril square body mods?

[low shard]

Well, I don’t know any, but I would help if I knew, sorry.

[drowsy leaf]

i dont think anyone is blaming spencer?
apart from the map having no Lods in some places and some assets being a bit ps2 like (and the concrete texture chairs :snotfish:), the map is fine
i do however do encourage people leaving 1 star reviews, since that way companies will see its not a good idea PR wise to use beamng to advertise their stuff

[frank cove]

"Or we going to boycott them both, give every single map that Spen did 1 star, etc. Set this as an example when a creator decided to work with corpo."

"They need to both apologises publicly for this whole thing, or just delete the map all together, delete it on Gumroad, Patreon, etc too."

Thats blaming spencer imo

[drowsy leaf]

oh yeah i did not reat that, thats a shit ass take

[frank cove]

I think we should encourage creators to make money responsibly. I don't necessarily have a problem with the map tbh

Its free to play and optional content; if you don't like it don't play it

[drowsy leaf]

i just dont like the part of companies infiltrating everything in our lives to advertise, thats why i left my 1 star review, the map itself is fine

[frank cove]

Thats reasonable. But at the same time creators have to live somehow

Its a double edged sword for sure. But as long as its a morally and legally good company then I don't think there should be problems with it

Now if it was gambling advertising? HELL NAH

But its a rental car company in a game about cars; its at least almost relevant

[drowsy leaf]

i think trying to shove ads everwhere is a problem

they already have ads in billboards, tv, radio, now the internet, maybe even print media, movies, do they also need to go in individual game communties to push even more ads?

[frank cove]

Yeah I agree, but thats the result of so many things being free to consume

We cannot have our cake and eat it too

[drowsy leaf]

oh yeah, but i paid for beamng, i dont want ads in my game

[frank cove]

The amount of FREE content on Youtube is incredible. I pay nothing but my time to watch hours of quality content

That is unfathomable even 20 years ago

[frank cove]

Well then don't download the mod?

Its OPTIONAL

[drowsy leaf]

im still shown an advertisment of it if i open the repository

[frank cove]

Ehhhhhhhhhhh you see 1 title call "Sixt land"

Thats hardly advertising

[drowsy leaf]

its an ad

[frank cove]

I think thats a stretch but I suppose

Really we just need a paid section of the repo (which can also include free to play content with ads)

[drowsy leaf]

it would not exist and i would not be shown that if they didnt do that marketing campaign

[dark dove]

imo yall are overreacting asf

advertising is how anyone with an unconventional job makes decent money. its life.

[drowsy leaf]

different if its a big corpo

[dark dove]

uh

[drowsy leaf]

if its like johns forged wheels company from nowhere, usa i wouldnt care

[dark dove]

well. its kind of just how business works

[frank cove]

But its not. and the more we push small creators out the less competition a big content corporation will have if they want to make paid/advertised maps

[drowsy leaf]

but the point of the reviews is showing that we dont want big corpos in beamng

[dark dove]

dude

what harm will they do tho

[frank cove]

I think the reviews mostly come from entitlement I'll be honest

[drowsy leaf]

i hate big corps infiltrating everything in the world to make 1 cent more

[frank cove]

People want free free free without any thought as to why its free

[frank cove]

Then you should support Spencer lol

[drowsy leaf]

but the map is free

[drowsy leaf]

i dont like the content he does personally

[frank cove]

Yes. So why are people complaining about ads when the map is FREE.

You are using hundreds if not thousands of hours of someone's effort and time for FREE. And then they STILL complain

Its entitlement

[drowsy leaf]

im complaining about there being a fucking advertisement in my PAID game not about a free map having ads

[frank cove]

But you should still support individuals because that is the only way that corporations lose profit

[drowsy leaf]

i support individuals from whose content i would use (car mods)

[frank cove]

If you kill the hyena the lion just gets the chance to eat more.

People are attacking the Hyena here.

We cannot chaseoff independent BeamNg modders because all it will do is create a gap in the market that a company with resources and reach will fill.

[dark dove]

yes

[frank cove]

This is the exact issue with the Minecraft marketplace

It is so difficult for individuals to sell content that everything became corporatized slop aimed at the most vulnerable in our society

[drowsy leaf]

well the battle is already lost in that case
Royal renderings and kenemations already dominate most of the shitty paid mod sphere and those are "individuals"

[dark dove]

kene isnt i dont think

[cyan drum]

kenediddy is a whole ass group

[dark dove]

kene is one guy who like friggin commissions modders to make him the mods

[drowsy leaf]

kene is like 900 people
and royal renderings is barely an individual

[dark dove]

royal is a few people, but most work is spoolin i believe

[drowsy leaf]

since royal renderings also offloads a lot of his stuff

[cyan drum]

"work"

[drowsy leaf]

work :

unrenamed k series jbeams in his paid M4 and M2

[cyan drum]

and now s650 mustang

[drowsy leaf]

is that also a k series???7

[cyan drum]

still has ttsport struts

[frank cove]

Does this not prove my point in a way?

Because people early on hated on paid mods that were made with passion which then created a massive gap in the market that was then filled by someone who only saw profit and cared not for peoples thoughts.

[drowsy leaf]

but these people havent chased anyone off that i know

lucasbe whos the one that popularized them is still at it

so is LJ and some others

and royalrenderings and kenemations i think already existed before the picnic making paid car mods "mainstream"

[frank cove]

Early on people were FOR SURE chased off from making paid mods. Only LBE was really able to break through

The market will always fill itself, so we should focus on filling it with positive people.

[cyan drum]

huh I thought both came later

[drowsy leaf]

no im pretty sure royal was doing patreon shit around the same time

[cyan drum]

[drowsy leaf]

kene maybe not, but they popped out instantly

[cyan drum]

3 years modding career and still can't output a decent mod

[drowsy leaf]

isnt docros kenemation shit mod video from 2021

4 year modding carrer

[cyan drum]

2023

[drowsy leaf]

he can probaly output a decent mod, he just doesnt care to

[cyan drum]

it's turning 3 next year, feb 1

[south hazel]

Doesn't need to if the irl car gang will just soak up any irl car mod in sight, paid or not, good or not

[drowsy leaf]

so hes probably been at it 3-4 years

[cyan drum]

he has chosen to release 40something mods instead

[frank cove]

I think this sort of slop needs to go down 100%

But this is also what happens when quality creators are chased away from a platform. It will only lead to the rise of creators who care not for the opinions or thoughts of the community

[cyan drum]

all of them garbage and earlier ones had stolen shit

[drowsy leaf]

well the thing is more of a "theres no way to properly distinguish non scammers" more than people being chased off

[frank cove]

Currently yes but not at the foundations

[south hazel]

The problem is the customer base of RR and co are usually those who will buy it cause it's a car they know and/or want to drive. They'll not care to look at lore friendly mods that are almost always a showing of what beamng can actually do.

[cyan drum]

there should be a good paid mods list ngl

[south hazel]

So to them, the slop they pump out is good

[frank cove]

Kennemations and similar only jumped on because they saw the market was there.

They don't even change the names of parts do you think they would create an entire market segment?

I think the way to remedy it would be to have an official paid repository with locked zips. With STRICT requirements to even be eligible to post a paid mod as a modder

[cyan drum]

funnily enough the community disliked that when it was proposed by tdev years ago

...I bet the opinion would be different now

[south hazel]

Even if they look at the repo and forums, they'll probably look at 1-2 pages, see its mostly lore mods or irl car mods that are out of date or cancelled. Then they'll see Kene, RR, etc. and think, "Why bother with that repo crap, cars I want are here! Pays"

[frank cove]

Surprises me not.

People want to have their cake and eat it too without thinking big picture

[south hazel]

It can't be policed properly as many modders post stuff on third party sites

[frank cove]

I'm not saying police 3rd party stuff.

I'm saying have a 1st party "paid mods" section for creators like LBE

[drowsy leaf]

well paid mods kinda goes against the 20 years of mods being free content (mainly free)

[frank cove]

Could throw in free advertised content too like the SIXT map to keep the regular repo clean

[frank cove]

So its entitlement. I know.

People want free shit

[drowsy leaf]

no its what people expect

[frank cove]

Who doesn't?

[frank cove]

If you expect free things for no work.... thats entitlement lol

[south hazel]

It's 2025, I stopped expecting free quality mods

If anything, the opposite. In AC (go to example for me tbh), you have to pay to get the really top tier stuff

[drowsy leaf]

and also since such high quality mods are free on the repo, people think its a scam to have the same level of quality for money

im not justifying it im just saying the reasons why paid mods arent accepted by some

[south hazel]

People just can't grasp the concept of, if they can't or don't want to pay for it. Just shut up, unless it's got legal issues, no one needs to hear your entitlements

[frank cove]

I think it is a good model for a creator to release free things to prove themselves and build their brand and then they can release paid content.

My main issue is that they can't morally be used on MP servers; if they could I would have bought so many more mods simply to race them against others lol

[drowsy leaf]

i mean the regular repo can still have regular mods

[frank cove]

Exactly this

[frank cove]

Yes I am saying make a new category similar to how automation stuff is in its own category

[drowsy leaf]

oh im just saying that theres no need for those adverts to be on the repo

[frank cove]

If they are in a section with paid mods I think that allows everyone to win

[drowsy leaf]

that would be like having a store with free and paid items combined, i dont think that makes much sense

[frank cove]

Thats pretty (no, VERY) common on Kofi and Patreon

[drowsy leaf]

but the repo wouldnt be like that, it would be like a supermarket not a specific individual person shop

[frank cove]

So where should content with ads go?

[drowsy leaf]

its own tag that can be filtered out in the free repo

[dark dove]

agreed

[frank cove]

But earlier you said it shouldn't be on the repo at all lol

Not against the idea just seems contradictory lol

[drowsy leaf]

if i can have the option to never see it its fine

[frank cove]

Especially because filters reset every time

Would be a good stop-gap before/if a paid section is added I guess

[dark dove]

yea, they're used to be spoilt brats. same thing as people who grow up being fed by their parents till they're 15, they'll expect to be fed by their parents when they're 17

[drowsy leaf]

i imagine the new repo system will probably have saves for the fiilters, since they are planning to add more stuff it would be stupid to not add preferences that you can save between visits

[frank cove]

But content with ads + paid content in one place makes sense to me

And would also then apply the same restrictions of paid creators to those who are taking ad money

[drowsy leaf]

wdym fed
your parents have a legal obligation to take care of you until you are an adult, is 16 considered to be an adult in aus?

[dark dove]

no but like

fed with a spoon

like yk baby fed

like spoilt brat shit

[drowsy leaf]

as long as you can have a setting that makes them so they dont show up both ways could work, also maybe a payment disclosure/transparency disclosing something

[frank cove]

If you are looking at the paid section; EVERYTHING is an ad lol

Yeah price should be upfront and NO subscriptions for the love of everything holy

Fuck subscription models

[drowsy leaf]

but theres a difference between paid content and free sponsored content, i would want my paid content section to not have sponsored mods

[drowsy leaf]

the only thing they work for is for early access of mods

[frank cove]

Even then its illogical imo

Absolutely zero motivation for the creator to finish it

The only place it makes sense is something in continual never ending development or something with operating costs like an MP server or something like iRacing

Even iRacing should have a 1 time purchase offline mode imo

[drowsy leaf]

early access can be like, this mod is feature complete but still needs to be optimized and bugs need to be fixed, you can have it a few weeks early knowing this, and also help with bug reports

this is what i would do with ea

[frank cove]

Yeah and that should be a 1 time purchase imo

Now it does make sense if you release enough content monthly that there is something new early access every month

Thats how my content works

Either pay once for what you want or pay monthly for whatever I release early acccess wise

[drowsy leaf]

maybe like a support me tier with the Ea's of mods as a bonus

and also unreleased scrap that i never finished as a bonus

because i do have a lot of unreleased scrap

[frank cove]

Yeah thats logical there are ways to do it

But just pure subscription for stuff not in continual development is predetory imo (What Kennemation and co do)

Even they release enough per month to be reasonable if thats what you want

I think? Idk their content flow

[drowsy leaf]

well kenemation's ignoring the fact of them being shit mods is that by paying not much you get access to many of their mods

so its more of a netflix thing type of thing

same for RR iirc

[dark dove]

well i use patreon for my stuff, its just used the same as any one off purchase. if you want my stuff, buy one month. if u want updates, buy another. cancel whenever and keep what u got

[frank cove]

Fair; still prays on forgetful/naive people imo

But then again skill issue I guess lol

[cyan drum]

I offer both (plus one time has PPP)

[drowsy leaf]

ppppppppp

[frank cove]

Does Patreon have 1 time payments yet?

[cyan drum]

yeah

[frank cove]

Nice

[cyan drum]

I just stick to gumroad for one time though

[frank cove]

I need to go back to Patreon, Kofi isn't great and the only reason I switched was for one time payments

Probably smart to have both

[cyan drum]

kofi is terrible, that's why I ditched it

[drowsy leaf]

gumroad for otp is also fine

[frank cove]

May as well do all 3 lol

Let the consumer use whatever their card is hooked up to

Also have discord shop too I forgot about that

[cyan drum]

gumroad is just so much better to format descriptions

[drowsy leaf]

discontinued iirc

only US and will be removed iirc

[frank cove]

Already? It was added like 12 months ago lol

I suppose no-one is using it

Only people who have used mine are ones that their cards disagreed with Kofi lol

[cyan drum]

I had no idea it was a thing

[drowsy leaf]

its aparently a legal nightmare to do that on top of already everything discord already does

[frank cove]

Makes sense. Lotta moderation

[drowsy leaf]

and discord does 0 moderation in general

[frank cove]

And kinda illogical when Kofi and Patreon have discord integration iirc

[cyan drum]

kofi's suck, patreon's is good since it gives role automatically

[frank cove]

Yeah Kofi is cheeks in general

The more I use it the more I hate it

[cyan drum]

sucks gumroad's also isn't great

get clanker to do things

[frank cove]

Neat

Good deterent at minimum

[dark dove]

how legal is dat

[drowsy leaf]

what legal issues could there be

[dark dove]

good job telling everyone in the whole beamng server this 👍

now everyone knows lol

[dark dove]

dunno

[frank cove]

I mean whats your goal?

Personal profit or to catch people lol

[cyan drum]

both is good

[drowsy leaf]

i catch scammers, and if they are stupid, they buy it again and i get double their money, and catch them again

[frank cove]

Because profit wise tell people that theres a serial number so piracy goes down

But don't tell anyone and catch the pirates lol

[frank cove]

Do they have a weird robinhood fantasy?

[drowsy leaf]

i dont know but they are stupid and whenever i release an update they would probably leak it again and since they are banned theyd need to buy it agian

saying i have anti piracy in my mods is bad PR + they would try to find what im doing, so just making it easy to hunt them down is more efficient and easier

[frank cove]

Wild that anti-stealing is bad PR; but it is

[dark dove]

Yea

[cyan drum]

because it's associated with bs launchers and sketchiness now

[dark dove]

Bechaus it coohld beh a vwrhirus 🤓

[cyan drum]

thank rr and jsd for that

[drowsy leaf]

well anti piracy is instantly associated with denuvo

[frank cove]

With what

[drowsy leaf]

or shitty drms

[drowsy leaf]

Horrible DRM that many games have

[frank cove]

I'm a car guy not a computure guy; whats a DRM

[drowsy leaf]

Digital Rights Management

[dark dove]

Whattid jsd do

[cyan drum]

launcher

at least they ditched it

[drowsy leaf]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo

[frank cove]

Like they had a Beam MP style launcher for their mod?

[dark dove]

Wym

[cyan drum]

you needed to install an app for the mod you bought to unlock otherwise it wouldn't work or whatever

[frank cove]

Interesting lol

[cyan drum]

in practice that was def easily bypassable

[drowsy leaf]

basically the short version is :
DRMs and Anti tampers give worse experiences to paying customers, and since everything is pirated eventually, the people that pirate the game then have a better experience than the paying customers

[frank cove]

Gotcha so profit over consumer and short sighted-ness lol

[drowsy leaf]

also old DRMs from old 2000s games have rendered them unusable, either to dead authentication services, windows updates breaking them or some other shit

they also make the game harder to mod, so in some cases if you want to mod some other game you OWN, you need to download a cracked copy just to be able to run mods

so the words "Anti piracy" have a horrible connotation, apart from what bath talked about shitty mod launcherrs for shit paid mods, which makes it even worse

so i wouldnt call it that, because i also associate "Anti Piracy" with that

[proper cypress]

is this a vivace meshlap?

[drowsy leaf]

Yeah very likely

[proper cypress]

jbeam is horrible

[dense jungle]

It’s not even hidden

[proper cypress]

i think its edited

a tiny bit edited but edited

[dense jungle]

I mean you just have to look at the back and immediately its out of shape

[proper cypress]

i thought it was some edited covet meshlap or something

[dawn tiger]

Most of my mod doesnt work without my exe but mines stream realtime live stream data to beam and thats the only way for auser to do it.

I could give out the source code and have people run it themselves so they know its not a virus but im not sending almost 2gb prebuild folder when i can send the 9mb exe lol. I just tell them to run it through antiviruses if they are scared.

[strong shuttle]

please bro id love to install that on a beammp server and not tell anyone

[obtuse sierra]

I doubt I'll get anyone here. But. Anyone experienced with html gauges and takes comissions?

[mortal remnant]

https://codepen.io/enxaneta/pen/EVYRJJ

maybe reach out to this creator?

[obtuse sierra]

Well I'm talking interactive, changes design based on drivemode etc

And if anyone says daddlezeit

He does NOT do commissions anymore

[drowsy leaf]

marcel?

[obtuse sierra]

Who dat

[mortal remnant]

are the gauges in beamng just html overlays?

[drowsy leaf]

guy who made gauges for iamthelaws stuff and RSs Audi RS

[drowsy leaf]

yesnt

car gauges are html, but you use a source svg file as and manipulate that somehow

[mortal remnant]

oh interesting. sounds simple enough to program, but im not a designer

[drowsy leaf]

@karmic crescent if you know hes up for commisions, can you forward LHmocs message to him? i dont know his discord @

[dry quarry]

Doesnt have to be svg
