mortal goblet
Someone pls make a military mod that includes the Zis-12
Beam rlly needs such mods
I found a mod for cannons which have less recoil compared to the other weapons found in beam so if someone can strap that onto an old soviet truck the I think it may be the best mod to play with
If beam is abt destruction then we need accurate weapons with different calibers
cyan drum
beamng is not great at weapons actually
bullets cannot penetrate jbeam structures
I mean they can... not realistically
at best they kinda go through while deforming whatever structure is hit
mortal goblet
bullets cannot penetrate jbeam structures
I know that the destruction with guns is not all accurate to irl
But someone could try
But it could take months maybe years cuz we would be rewriting the games code of damage models
And how it reacts with different materials
cyan drum
realistically it's not possible
the density jbeams structures are at right now is the best compromise between quality and density
more nodes means more weight and higher probability of inverting structures
mortal goblet
realistically it's not possible
I know but it doesn't have to be the best yet we just need something with war vehicles
mortal goblet
more nodes means more weight and higher probability of inverting structures
Yeh but there's a different software which can change damage models
mortal goblet
no promise those will actually work here though
That's why we need something like that in beam using only beam's code
cyan drum
good luck doing it then

go in the main folder so if the mods called hicksnewbodysieera open that folder select erveything and if you use winrar right click hit add to archive then click zip in the menu.
if not using winrar and win 11 you can right clickand hit compress too and choose zip with the windows file manager but winrar is more reliable and faster imo

Its a hit or miss with automation. Just depends on what people make.
wild osprey

automation cars are way worse then "normal" mods
tender thistle
so Automation is the way to go if I want a specific irl car?
Automation takes a bunch of fiddling to get them to behave reasonably, especially if you're driving them hard. Stuff like Fillman's rigidity mod. There's a couple mods that started as automation but were rebuilt for Beam that are pretty solid though.
In my experience Automation cars tend to be both less and more durable than beam cars. Like the body tends to deform plastically (i.e. not spring back) but there seems to be a lot more elastic deformation in the suspension and chassis. This is a little anecdotal though, I just noticed that a big heavy wagon I had knocked together was much MUCH more durable and faster over african trails' rally stages than the safari rally miramar. That may have been down to the big lift and shitload of torque though...
plush island
this is all just discouraging for me
tender thistle

oh because you can't put real cars on the repo due to licensing issues, they're on the forums or in the #1102973298222051358 thread. There's literally a thread for this one sec.

There's also BlazerNG's Ko-Fi which has a bunch of stuff kicking around
plush island
what is discouraging?
atp I just would like to add more cars, and it seems I can't even do that because its either automation bad or more QoL mods in repo than cars
tender thistle
you can sort through the repo, there's a ton of good cars in the repo!
fringe frost
I have several modded cars from the repo in my game.
They are disabled rn because I'm not using them
tender thistle
There's "only" 419 land vehicle mods on the repo, and a bunch don't work anymore, but there's easily triple digit cars available lmao
tender thistle
yes, the old ones don't work great, it's kinda hit or miss if it's older than like 2023. But there's easily like 100-200 cars that work great

VY node not found

i know the creator of the man tgs is working on a european trailer but it isnt even available yet
could be a tanker, normal box trailer, even a flatbed

Your best bet is to wait for it most likely or make one yourself
Trailers are fairly good way to start with vehicle creation
They tend to be less complex structure wise
exotic sigil
oof
harsh coyote
And you don't have to worry about powertrain stuff
I technically have EU-ish single axle utility box car trailer, but that still needs some work
random cosmos
@harsh coyote it was one beam that was connecting to a node that didnt exist so it errored
harsh coyote
Beams have nothing to do with VY node errors tho
Unless you're talking about missing beam target node error
And you happened to name a node VY
fossil ore
arent vy and vx node not found errors just the result of too few nodes assigned to a flexbody
harsh coyote
You can have 1000 nodes assigned to a flexbody and still get an error
fossil ore
hm
harsh coyote
For example when all of the nodes are in a single line
Node structure has to be 3D
You need at least 3 nodes
harsh coyote
They can be a real pain when working with exhausts
Theres a reason most exhausts have flexbody helper nodes
random cosmos

VY node
random cosmos
i dont get what youre arguing
i litearlly said an error that was happening
and this dude is like "no youre wrong"
native zealot
VY node error means that it doesn't have enough nodes in a group to triangulate things to make the mesh work properly
harsh coyote
And it doesn't have anything to do with beams
random cosmos
it was an error that came up because a beam had an incorrect node
harsh coyote
Thats not a VY node error then
random cosmos
then why did it say vy error
onyx dirge
Maybe you mis read "failed to get node positions"?
Which sometimes shows up when a vehicle fails to load due to an error.

same thing with me making my crx covet :/

Yes
even if, a modder has been modding for a long time still gets treated like they are like 13

latent ivy
beamng community is just very forceful and it sucks
"oh, you need to make the doors longer"
past rapids
But then again we're speaking about acommunity, so by deffinition it will have toxic people. Plus, you're looking at the community of a car game, meaning the average fan would be the 13 yp vroom vroom lol type of person
"oh, you need to make the doors longer"
Like bro, learn bloody blender and make the yourself
latent ivy
ppl act like everything needs to closely replicate whatever you're basing your mod off of
community in general is just mostly annoying people, they lack the ability to present feedback properly

Who here knows how to use ReShade?
twin stump
tech tip don't
sullen flower
why it is it hard to use or something?
twin stump
because it looks awful lol
sullen flower
I just want to mess with some lighting settings and that's the only thing people tell me I can do that with
sullen flower
I used MuYe's preset (from YouTube) and it looked the same.
I still don't exactly know how that works either
twin stump
Indeed, you can mess around in the the "PostFX" tab under Graphics, there are plenty of things to modify
sullen flower
oh okay then
pseudo quest
Reshade is a fantastic tool, most people just use it in the worst ways so it gets a bad rap
way more powerful than postfx
sullen flower
So is there a way to get light rays and increase the contrast a tiny bit?
pseudo quest
Absolutely
You can increase the contrast exactly as much as you want to, it's a decimal value, it's just that too many people think that max contrast looks best
sullen flower
no a bit of contrast and some saturation is all i want
I want light rays as well but that's PostFX menu
pseudo quest
Reshade and the Lightroom shader (one of its stock ones iirc) should sort you then
The contrast slider on that is what I use
ebon void
But you can, do both of those in the post fx tab..
At least, last i remember
I certainly know there's light rays at least
pseudo quest
Reshade’s implementation looks better to me personally
And a lot of things that I’d normally do in lightroom with real photos can be done there, like adding a touch of noise and having good control over the colour balance
ebon void
But it's complicated and adds a good bit of unneccesarry overhead for the simple 2 things he was trying to do
complicated to get working i mean. Like, install and such.
pseudo quest
I suppose, but there's no harm in giving it a go
if you're exploring graphics tweak options then reshade is a no-brainer, and chances are they aren't just looking to tweak beam's graphics

Why don’t people usually upload real life cars to the repository? I don’t like automation cars.
supple timber
It’s copyright infringement meaning the devs don’t wanna be liable for any lawsuits from auto makers
humble kindle
they need permission from the manufacturer and all involved parties
hence rebadge or something like the Oldsmobile full-size which has base version with a forum addon
lucid elk
on the website forums it's ok but for a steam game BeamNG would have to get licenses
supple timber
It’s mainly different afaik due to the approval process involved with repo but don’t quote me on that
pseudo quest
Basically a dev can't stop you from doing whatever you want to their game and sharing it on the web, but for them to "endorse" it by having it on their own website, it's just safer to avoid licenced stuff
supple timber
Yeah
latent ivy
However, there are tons of licensed cars on the automation repo
supple timber
Yeah just assumed there is contractual obligations to allow all automation content but idk
desert tide
Is it because automation vehicles have to many differences vs real life counterparts. Percentage difference between automation an real thing because some look close but not right where as scratch built beam cars have much better resemblence so infringe on trademark?
robust vessel
i don't think so

robust vessel
uh
there is the node/beam editor which most people only use for visualisation or stuff like adding tris/beams
not useful for actually creating much
how i would do it is mess around with stuff in notepad++ and then reload the jbeam in NBE
queen vapor
@latent ivy
I just use ingame node/beam diaplay combined with notepad++, kinda tedious but works well enough
what you could also do is use the NB visualiser/export programs to get the node positions, then just fill them in manually to the JBEAM to avoid syntac errors ect
ancient lagoon
yes
just refresh ingame
even tho it takes like 30s each refresh
NBE barely opens half of jbeam files now its so outdated
and just get node positions from blender
i might start jbeaning @twin stump's etk fen 30th generation and make a tutorial vid out of it or something
harsh coyote
There is NBE, but it honestly sucks.
Its okay for jbeaming something like a box, but anything more complicated gets confusing quick

add an image texture, plug it into base color

Also is the Jbeam tool on the forums outdated?

NBE works but isn't reccomended by most experienced jbeamers.
Same for the blender exporter
They can be used for some things, but I heavily recommend beginners to start w/o using those tools, and use notepad++ or something similar.

@crisp mantle my advice to get started is to start small. the worst thing you can do is begin with something too big. it's easy to get into the trap of having big ideas, working on it, and never getting it to the point in your head. I did it alot when i was getting started...
if you start small you can focus on the skills you need to make the big stuff good.
random glen
Ik this is a very long shot open ended question but how do I get into modding for Beamng
sturdy pasture
what type of modding seems interesting to you? You can create cars, objects, skins, maps, plugins. Figuring out what direction you want to go will help point towards resources and such.
stark jolt
Try learning Blender first. If you find it interesting/engaging you can try exporting your creations to collada (.dae) and loading them as objects in the level editor
I came to BeamNG already having used Blender for some years, and started by making small modifications to levels (easiest place to start)
once I had enough confidence I made my own small level and released it on the forums
then I made some simple props and jbeamed them (dumpster, light pole)
went on to more advanced props like propane tank and ragdoll crash test dummy, and finally attempted a vehicle after several months of modding
supple timber
^ that and new carparts/addons like bodykits, bumpers, spoilers, roofracks etc but mitch's suggestion will likely teach you more 😄
shrewd pasture
I also have some ideas but I'm afraid I just don't have time for it unfortunately (had the idea of making a twin engine hopper like the Suzuki Escudo)
random glen
I do have some experience with blender and I have tried making a car but its so hard I gave up hope lol... I can make other objects tho so I might wanna start with props...
calm hinge
Props, especially with breakable/hinged parts are good way to get into the basics of making jbeam IMHO
Better than most of the stuff I see people doing with added parts 😛

99% of how not to fail at something is setting achievable goals

@molten bough so it's somehow hidden?

i looked in the game engine zip and i there is a music folder however it only has 1 file and i'm pretty sure its not it
how do i tell where i missed something in jbeam
@fossil ore open the jbeam in BNE, it will give a line but its probably not the line it says and is on a line around the line it says

yeah but at the same time bne will ruin your jbeam by possibly adding a bunch of errors lol

how exactly will the repairing cars bit work
@latent ivy career's repair and damage will have to be implemented in a more simplified way than what most of us wished. there's some non-obvious unavoidable technical constraints that are unique to our physics... so we're trying to come up with the best possible alternative
we've implemented and then discarded several approaches already. currently working on another one, we'll see how it pans out. i'm afraid i can't be any more specific, since this is all subject to change

As long as we keep damages in-between... Well in-between whatever im happy lol

All I'm asking is to take two vehicles from FH4 and put it in beamng.

FH4 vehicles are encrypted afaik

they'd still need to be imported from somewhere
mesh will need work
textures would need to be converted
you'd have to change a lot of stuff in .jbeam files
you'll need a new Jbeam for it (doing a proper one can take months by itself)
polish all that
make configs
you get it. modding takes time and I don't believe anyone here would want to do that for you, for free, and spend months of their life making a mod for you.
Simply my 2 cents
latent ivy
I can pay for that
frank kelp
your best bet would be to learn and not to throw your money at someone to do it for you
making stuff yourself is rewarding both in skill and satisfaction

It would be cool if a modmaker could develop software to convert GTA 5 car mods into beamng mods because GTA car mods are more numerous and have much better textures.

Biggest one is a crew cab longbed iirc
However you can get a crew cab D15 as well
Only frame related difference between D15 and D25/35 is that D25/35 use heavy duty frame
Which is stiffer
You have a normal and heavy duty variant of each frame
Maybe apart from the frames for bronco style things

the d25 doesn't use a heavy duty frame, just a solid front axle

people would say it was weird if there werent
think of them as custom parts, either cut down D35 frames or C frames with a bunch of plates welded in to box them up

If I had the funds I've tossed around the idea of a bronco on a 350 chassis with a 7.3 diesel
Either IDI turbo or powerstroke
Not sure which one lol
Might make that for my bronco mod eventually

@ornate valve doesn't the marauder use a heavy duty short frame?
ornate valve
It does, though techincally its not a D-Series
Oh yeah and the Zeta uses the HD frame too
And the D30 exists using the HD ext short frame
thorny yoke
so in that regard is the heavy short frame still considered aftermarket?
ornate valve
any of them could be really. Truck comes with the frame? factory. If you swap it in you could call it either. "headcanon"

anything not a car/truck that has been created is mostly an unintended side effect of the simulations
iirc anything smaller than like a large go kart or golf kart needs special coding and jbeam tricks
motorcycles and even quads as well as small go karts really require a rider for balance
