[hot blade]

you can make assets

whatever you want

[storm schooner]

is there a basic tutorial for making your own assets?

[edgy gust]

Yes ^
I got the modelling part down, I know how to do that, my only issue is actually putting it in game

[storm schooner]

can you send it?

[edgy gust]

I haven't modelled yet, Just saying that I know how to

[storm schooner]

oh.

i was looking for tutorials lol

[edgy gust]

oh I see, I meant yes as in I have the same question lol, my bad

[latent ivy]

So does anyone have any series 100 land/ Drift Cars cruisers that work on the latest update?

[frank kelp]

No

[latent ivy]

Ok

[gilded ginkgo]

got a question-
why is this happening as of .20?
Duplicated parts that clearly are not duplicated? ive checked all over for these supposed "duplicate" parts, they dont exist
whats causing this?

all of those parts in particular arent even appearing in the parts selector anymore?
what is going on?

[untold stone]

not sure about the duplicate parts but I know some of my parts stopped showing up in 0.20 until I moved their JBeam files to the "common" folder because the slot was defined by a JBeam in the "common" folder and not the vehicle folder

[gilded ginkgo]

its a custom slot to begin with, so no, that shouldnt be the issue

the car has a custom wheelbase, and it is using the correct rear suspension (its lined up) but the names are all like the regular legran, and im getting duplicate part errors

despite the file names being not the same as the base game parts

[untold stone]

what's the deal with skin.materials.json? It seems if I make my own in my mod vehicle folder, it overwrites the default one so that only my skins work

nevermind, had to rename it. tried to do that before and it didn't show up at all, but it seems it's working now

[sinful isle]

is there a way to write some ai behavior scripts? Is it possible to load them in beamng?
i had the idea to expand the Police AI

[untold stone]

this is kind of an opinion question for the devs/moderators. Right now for my hybrid system, I distribute all the Lua code with each hybrid mod (ETK and Citybus), even though it's 100% identical between the two. should I look into splitting the Lua code into its own mod and making that a dependency of the other two? that'd mean that if I release an update that includes both Lua and JBeam changes, it'd be three mod updates instead of two, but on the other hand, if I only need to make Lua changes, it'd be one instead of two. I'm not sure what's preferred from the devs' perspectives

the challenge comes with the controller/powertrain code; I'm not sure if the jbeam could load that from a common mod for each vehicle or not. maybe if it's in the common folder?

that'd also let other people use the hybrid code without shipping it themselves, which means if I update and it breaks their mod, their mod won't break mine.

[calm hinge]

I've seen people say on MFD that the devs are looking to see if they can do dependencies.

Because I agree it would be helpful for things.

My digidash is the same "issue"

Where it would just be easier to have it in "commons", maintain a single copy.

[untold stone]

yeah, I could do it manually already, but people would have to read and know that the dependency is required

and people do not read

especially when installing from the game itself instead of the repo site

being able to have an actual dependency system that'd automatically install the hybrid mod when installing either the ETK or the Citybus would be amazing

[calm hinge]

Yes

I have that issue with my wheel pack already

And there's a huge red paragraph at the top of the description of both mods using it.

At least it just "soft" breaks the configs, since they just spawn with incorrect wheels/tires.

[untold stone]

not sure what mine would do without the Lua code. I'm guessing you'd end up with a bus with an engine with nothing connected to the output, and a differential with nothing connected to the input 😂

[calm hinge]

Yeah 😂

Same if I made my digidash into a separate mod.

At least it would probably just have no dashboard, and default to the stock one.

[untold stone]

nothing like the sweet release of dopamine that comes from seeing your mod update is approved 😂

[frank kelp]

lol

[lapis fulcrum]

Plz don’t flame me, but how difficult would you guys assume making airbag suspension for a couple cars would be?

[slate swan]

Airbag suspension?

[frank kelp]

the bus has air suspension

so it shouldn't be too difficult if you take clues from that system

[lucid elk]

T series also has 💨 suspension

[exotic sigil]

fart suspension

[exotic sigil]

someone should really port flatout maps into the game

[fresh ermine]

And motorstorm Pacific rift maps

[clever knot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euZ6E8jRvxY

profit

[tight ore]

lmao

except earlier when someone nicked a mod off WOM and made a thread pretending it was theirs

[frank kelp]

ah yes

I used the russians to lure the russians

[haughty cove]

hello yes tips for 3d modeling pls

[frank kelp]

@haughty cove watch Blender Guru's modeling tutorial

[versed bramble]

[frank kelp]

Looks great

[exotic sigil]

it looks like a frog lol

[ancient lagoon]

its a no from me dawg

[cosmic gorge]

its a yes from me dawg

[robust vessel]

it's a disagree for me

i'd say don't use the roamer tails

and just design the facelift yourself

[ancient lagoon]

this doesnt fit

just looks wack

[lucid elk]

Agree

[solid rapids]

also that bruhe tailgate split doesnt line up

front looks 😎 👍 though

[ancient lagoon]

lmao yes
the tailgate line

[cyan depot]

front looks like shitty hyundai

[solid rapids]

well it might not look nice but the execution is better

[ancient lagoon]

hyounder is good dont insultt @cyan depot

[cyan depot]

ok

[humble kindle]

Garvil in 80s/90s> fairly advanced and ahead of the competition in a few places
Garvil in 2000s> here's a facelift of a car we've sold for almost 20 years

[cyan depot]

jeep wagoneer be like

[mighty frost]

Any released mods for HighDef’s pacenotes that aren’t by the creator?

[gilded ginkgo]

front looks like shitty hyundai
@cyan depot please show me said shitty hyundai

also the taillights are not done

we are doing this

[cyan depot]

same vibe

[gilded ginkgo]

what how

ok sure

im seeing a first gen avalon tbh

[cyan depot]

idk just looks strang

[frank kelp]

looks good Kueso

but the taillights are definetly fucked

[gilded ginkgo]

oh yeah we were going for a kinda strange look
we were trying to capture this gen Vic (sorta)

[frank kelp]

gogo me 90s crappy sedan

[gilded ginkgo]

also when i mod:
-dont make it always handsome. make the car something weird out of the era it was made
so thats why all of my stuff is kinda weird hard to look at
its because im trying to capture the weird 80's/90's styling ques while attempting to make it semi-bearable

if i made everything outstandingly beautiful, nothing would be

[frank kelp]

yo mods good

[tight ore]

imma download wbimp just because of that 1980s moonhawk you posted a while ago

everything else in it is just an added bonus

[lucid elk]

I need the 1980 luxury barge

i need it

[tight ore]

agre

[gilded ginkgo]

i see people like it

tis good

[tight ore]

post pics

[midnight nacelle]

hl3 will be out before wbimp update at this rate

[gilded ginkgo]

probably

[tight ore]

le mao

[gilded ginkgo]

ive literally redone the mod from the ground up
out with shitty old content in with new good stuff

from the ground up isnt a joke

[midnight nacelle]

good 👍

[gilded ginkgo]

its taken 7 months to redo it

[tight ore]

nice

[midnight nacelle]

kueso putting in thos dedication

[gilded ginkgo]

yeah

probably too much tbh

being that new bugs appear every day

[tight ore]

it’s beyond just a config pack at this point

[gilded ginkgo]

like for whatever reason certain textures are white on spawn but when you restart the game they are normal

its like what how can i fix that

it’s beyond just a config pack at this point
ive considered releasing this new version as a new mod under a new name

[tight ore]

maybe

it’s not even the same mod as it was

[gilded ginkgo]

nope

it isnt

[tight ore]

wbimp 2 electric boogaloo

[gilded ginkgo]

lmao

i pitty the developer that has to review all the files when i upload it

RIP C_K

[frank kelp]

lmao

[gilded ginkgo]

no like actually he's going to open the zip and be like
"naw fck this"

"its good enough"

it would take a day to thoroughly check everything

[frank kelp]

I mean they probably have tools for it

[lucid elk]

^

no like actually he's going to open the zip and be like
"naw fck this"
Ekis de

[gilded ginkgo]

yeah

the probably have tools

[midnight nacelle]

i am thoroughly excited

[muted igloo]

Anyone know how to make a beamng map from scratch?

[latent ivy]

Has anyone made a covet van?

[smoky oriole]

not recently, go ahead.

[latent ivy]

can someone DM me the endless highway please?

[feral elk]

Sure

[narrow onyx]

do you guys know if there is any nissan silvia s13 mods out there?

[latent ivy]

No good ones.

Or uhhh not any public good ones

Just wait for that thing LJ was making..

[narrow onyx]

sad

[vale hill]

Hello guys, I'm currently at a stage where I made a cool and sick steering boi and I couldn't decided whether to release or not!

Should I release this?

[mighty tiger]

Has anyone tried out the BeamMP.Drive mod?

[vale hill]

I think 29019 people had tried them, its not alot of people who has tried, but i also did. Its good

But you need bulletproof computa to run in a server with more than 10 people

[lilac bramble]

Has anyone tried out the BeamMP.Drive mod?
its called BeamMP not BeamMP.drive

and yes its good

but you need a cpu with a decent amount of cores to play it

if you have a quad core cpu its better to stick to 4 player servers (to get a decent fps of course_

[vale hill]

I hav i5, gtx1070. It is a 3 years old setup and it's getting hott and seems to be blowing up when I run a game with +9peiple

so i dont play.

only with 3people in a server, ai plei

[lapis marsh]

can someone tell me how to make a mod with my custom configurations?

[signal sorrel]

You make the mod first
You make a config with CTRL+W in game, you save it
Go in BeamNG.drive/vehicles/<vehicle name> and you'll find your configuration
Then you put the .pc file in your mod folder and you zip it

And the mod with a custom config is ready

[lapis marsh]

that it?

thanks

[signal sorrel]

that it?
That's what I use, I don't think there's a faster or easier way to do that

[lapis marsh]

ok, thanks

[signal sorrel]

You're welcome

[lilac bramble]

That's what I use, I don't think there's a faster or easier way to do that
you still need a thumbnail and an info file for it to show up

[lapis marsh]

oh

ok!

[mighty tiger]

Thanks guys

[maiden walrus]

Excuse me, can i clarify, is 2k the limit for shadow res, it's kinda low for me

[stark jolt]

it is, but you can adjust the size falloff of the shadow cascades in the sunsky options.

ie. you can tweak for resolution priority at lower or higher distances

also you can play with the "lastSplitTerrainOnly" checkbox which essentially gives you another cascade

[vale hill]

Why does editing a normal map texture makes an error?

Should I make a new normal map through Blender? I used to edit with GIMP

Does someone know why?

[fossil ore]

🤔

[lucid elk]

air bag

[fossil ore]

lua magic

[lucid elk]

how did you do it doe

ah oke

lua magic™️

does it even have any jbeam node related stuff etc

or is it just a etk800 meshlap

[fossil ore]

i'll make a thread explaining it

[frank kelp]

pressureGroups

nice

[fossil ore]

surprisingly not

its just a simple hydro and some lua

[frank kelp]

hydros gang ye

if sensorGoBrr then
   electrics.values.AirbagShid = 1
   end
end

ez

[fossil ore]

yes

[tranquil marsh]

Lol

[fossil ore]

a bit more but correct

[tranquil marsh]

perfection

[lucid elk]

sensor go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[tranquil marsh]

Ikr

[fossil ore]

ouTrAte = 10000000000

[frank kelp]

lmfao

also did you use the ETK's stock crash detection sensors?

[fossil ore]

partially

[frank kelp]

or did you do the magic floating node trick

[fossil ore]

i used the g sensors from them

[frank kelp]

nice

didn't even know you could do that

[fossil ore]

i remember nocargo tried doing it with an outrate of 300

that video is with an outrate of 100

so i could most definetly get it faster

[frank kelp]

nice

[native zealot]

dont even need floating nodes tbh

just use a breakgroup beam in the front crash bar or something

or anywhere else

[sweet star]

Looking to get a miata mod. I cant find anywhere to download it. Anyone have a site I can get it from?

[tight ore]

no miata mods worth having exist

[sweet star]

ffs

[latent ivy]

@fossil ore how u put airbag?

[fossil ore]

i made it

[latent ivy]

Its mod or?

[sweet star]

I mean I got this

[latent ivy]

What car is that

[tight ore]

that one's kinda crap

[sweet star]

hey

its a miata

[tight ore]

ok but the mod is crap

[sweet star]

but its got this

how is it crap?

[latent ivy]

It looks like a meshslap

[tight ore]

it's a 200bx with a different model

[latent ivy]

Where u find this mod

[native zealot]

someone should actually make one of those in decent quality

[tight ore]

agre

[sweet star]

I cant find another miata mod so I can live with this

[tight ore]

ok

[sweet star]

Where u find this mod
@latent ivy I could DM you the files if you want

[tight ore]

don't do that

[latent ivy]

That will be great

[tight ore]

link him the thread if you're gonna do it

[latent ivy]

Why not

?

[tight ore]

could be seen as piracy by some

[native zealot]

yea it has a thread

[latent ivy]

I just want to drive car with my g920

[tight ore]

drive a quality car then

like all of the cars already in the game

[sweet star]

why are you so negative dude

just let people have fun

[tight ore]

i want people to have fun

you'll have more fun with a quality mod

[latent ivy]

@tight ore so u like only non moded cars ?

[tight ore]

when did i say that

[sweet star]

who said you cant have fun with a low quality mod, youre just gatekeeping

[tight ore]

you can't have as much fun

because they don't behave nearly as well

[latent ivy]

Oi

[sweet star]

You could say the same with so many things, like how you could have more fun with a Bugatti then with a beater

But most car guys prefer a beater you can mod

[tight ore]

you'd have much more fun with a beater

[sweet star]

ofc you would

stop gatekeeping the fact that you need a mod that only you like to have fun

[pale flame]

You can have more fun with a car that crashes, drives, and looks good than a car that is shit.

[odd prism]

people tends to port models off real racing 3 to beamng lmfao

[sweet star]

You can have more fun with a car that crashes, drives, and looks good than a car that is shit.
@pale flame How is the miata shit

[tight ore]

it's made poorly

[pale flame]

Yeup

[sweet star]

how

[humble kindle]

yes but have you tried to improve one of those "low quality" mods?
often so much needs redoing you would be better off making one from scratch or near scratch
I've done it before and its just a mile long list of inaccuracies and errors

[tight ore]

stop gatekeeping the fact that you need a mod that only you like to have fun
bs

it has nothing to do with whether i like the mod or not

many mods are quite literally made with lower quality and are not as fun to use as a result

[latent ivy]

Miata is good idk what is worng with you

?

[sweet star]

Hey w1ll, you been nothing but annoying since I simply showed off a mod I had downloaded, I have fun with it, therefore your opinion in obsolete to me,

[tight ore]

it's a poorly made mod

[latent ivy]

Lol

[tight ore]

what can't you understand about that

[latent ivy]

So where i can find high quallity mod

[humble kindle]

see this?
this was one of the better mods on WOM
been working on it on and off for years
really needs a model overhaul, textures reworked and a complete jbeam replacement

[latent ivy]

No were because its private mods

Lol

[sweet star]

WHat cant you understand about people having fun with a mod. Have you even used the miata mod I have? cause its not bad

[tight ore]

private mods are quite often the worst mods

i have used the miata mod and it doesn't even compare to actual quality mods

[humble kindle]

I started working on attempting to fix that mod 4 years ago

[latent ivy]

@tight ore then tell me where i can find good quallity mod -_-

[tight ore]

forums

[latent ivy]

Lol

[tight ore]

repository

[sweet star]

There's always gonna be mods better then others. The fact that you cant like a mod cause it dosent have 43587 variant and millions of customization options is sad

[tight ore]

that is not my point at all

[latent ivy]

Can u find high quallity mod and give link in dm? @tight ore

[humble kindle]

its not that

[tight ore]

look for them yourself

[humble kindle]

its the fact it does not behave like the real thing

[tight ore]

it behaves like a 200bx

[sweet star]

Dude its a video game, Nothing will ever behave like the real thing

[tight ore]

because it uses 200bx jbeam

[humble kindle]

the entire point of beamNG is its as close to real as possible

[mighty basin]

Not just that
It's also too 2x too big

[sweet star]

If youre going to sit here and complain about cars not being the same as real life, that really says alot about your social life

[humble kindle]

a proper mod captures all aspects of the vehicle it replicates
or in the case of a custom design what that car would do

[tight ore]

when did i ever do that

lmfao

[mighty basin]

If youre going to sit here and complain about cars not being the same as real life, that really says alot about your social life
lol ok

[sweet star]

I'm talking to batic

[tight ore]

he never did that either

[humble kindle]

can't complain about a social life that doesn't exist
I have better things to do anyway

[sweet star]

its the fact it does not behave like the real thing
@tight ore

[tight ore]

that was just him explaining why the mod is crap lmfao

[sweet star]

Again. It. Is. A. Video. Game. If anyones gonna sit here and complain about it not being close to real life. They need to evaluate their decisions

[humble kindle]

the fenders aren't even separated from the body

that's just lazy

[tight ore]

the entire point of beamNG is its as close to real as possible
did you not read this or something

[sweet star]

I sure did, but your PC is never gonna equate to real life

[humble kindle]

if you don't want lifelike physics go play forza

[tight ore]

go waste someone else's time with your whining

[sweet star]

@tight ore werent you the guy that started this by whining about a mod not being good?

[tight ore]

literally trying to help you find quality mods

[sweet star]

OK link me a good miata mod and I'll call it a day

[tight ore]

no miata mods worth having exist

nobody has made one yet

[sweet star]

Ok so who are you to say that this mod is bad. Its technically the best miata mod you can get, right?

[tight ore]

technically

but that doesn't mean it's any good

[humble kindle]

that is true but it is not up to the standard of most

[sweet star]

But I'm happy with my mod, therefore I do not care about your opinion

[tight ore]

good for you

as long as you know it's crap

[sweet star]

It's really not that bad, anyways I have things to do. Im out

[tight ore]

go have fun with your crappy mods

mm yes, another example of "i can't think of a comeback to support my crappy argument so i'll just play it cool and leave"

[sweet star]

No I just have a life outside of online arguments

[tight ore]

oh look he's back

you already do everything you had to do?

that was quick

[sweet star]

Please do not bring up my personal life in an online argument im gonna go now

[frank kelp]

breux

[tight ore]

he says, despite repeatedly bringing up mine

bruh moment

[tranquil marsh]

If youre going to sit here and complain about cars not being the same as real life, that really says alot about your social life
@sweet star ahem
He means the mod is basically a meshslap and most likely will spike bad if in a crash

Its probably not detailed either

[tight ore]

give up the argument he's a lost cause

[tranquil marsh]

I just realised i couldve fired it up more

Sorry

[lucid elk]

um

i just wanted to say

AventRemake.zip is best mod

[supple plover]

btw

does anyone know a way of moving the two objects on a mirror modifier closer together

[exotic sigil]

i just read the argument that happened and i lost a couple of braincells

[mighty flax]

Maybe a good idea that i would even pay for: making a real BMW steering wheel for all ETK's

[exotic sigil]

what 😃

[tight ore]

why did you react to your own message bruh

[supple plover]

Anyone know how to make a beamng map from scratch?
@muted igloo check MfD server out, they have a tutorial

[opaque scarab]

Anyone have any rim mod suggestions for racing or sport rims

[frank kelp]

Fifteen52s would be nice

gravel racing wheels

[opaque scarab]

Lol I worded it weird, i meant is there any good rim mods

Also I want to learn how to mod bu dont know yet

Okay so I found a wheel pack that's called D-troxx wheel pack

[supple plover]

that's good,

get it

D-Troxx is pro rim creator

[opaque scarab]

I know lol if any of you guys wanted it I was just throwing the name out there lol

[supple plover]

He did the tutorial here

[frank kelp]

not here

in the MfD server

[supple plover]

Well, on mfd

[frank kelp]

D-troxx is chad wheel creator

[supple plover]

Mhh, gwt confused

[opaque scarab]

Do wheels need j-beam

[frank kelp]

kinda

it's automatically generated

essentially you give the wheels a width and radius, and same for the tires

and it makes the nodes and beams for you

[opaque scarab]

Okay

[supple plover]

Heey

That is kinda easy sounding

Maybe ill give it a go

[cyan depot]

dtroxx does a good rim job indeed

his custom 200bx was cool too

[wraith fog]

guess which car it is

[polar cedar]

sunburst sport rs

[wraith fog]

yup

i still have to figure out how to put it onto a video

[frank kelp]

kewl

using gifs as skins

[wraith fog]

i know, but puting the textures, the "film" onto the uv

i think i'm gonna use .webm instead of .gif

[vale hill]

will like a different engine valve cover options available in the future update?

[strange forge]

i bet someone will actually make this a mod

[latent ivy]

if only there was a bugatti mod pack

😞

[lucid elk]

would be cool tbh

but ive never seen a HQ supercar in this game lol

[latent ivy]

ikr

if only tho

i aint tryin to download bootleg mods

[blazing peak]

hello

[sour zephyr]

Like those russian supercar mods that just slap a 3D model on the bolide and change the sound, lul

[latent ivy]

Those were all leaked from a old forum group+a old forum dm

[tranquil marsh]

Ok

[muted igloo]

@muted igloo check MfD server out, they have a tutorial
@supple plover Whats the MFD Server?

[supple plover]

The Modding for Dummies server

They have a tutorial on map making

[frozen robin]

private mods are just funny

Why even make something that you won't let people use.

Thats like if Rockstar made GTA 6 but wouldn't let anyone play it.

[frank kelp]

private mods are shit anyway

[frozen robin]

Eh

Most of them are Teslas anyways

[frank kelp]

ye

or lambos

kid luring shit

[frozen robin]

Im temped to make a mod just to say "Fuck you" to those Private mod people baiting people in for views and what not

[supple plover]

Lol, if I ever make a mod that is good I am gonna only give it to basically anyone without YouTube channel

[frozen robin]

People who only give it to YouTube Channels are scummy

[calm hinge]

Eh... I don't understand people vocal against private mods.

A lot of them are meshslaps done for fun, but not released because they don't want to release a meshslap.

When you spam it in the pic threads that's a little annoying I agree, but at the end just ignore people doing that.

[worthy pine]

Oops sorry wrong channel

[sweet star]

What're some good Nascar mods? I have the Talladega and Daytona map, Along with the latemodel stock car. Any good nascar cars I can drive?

[half egret]

Are there any drift parts for the Ford Mustang, like drift steering for example?

Because I love the mustang but it's fucking impossible to drift it with the current steering

[tight ore]

yes it is

[frank kelp]

mustang

sounds like a meshslap

[tight ore]

that s550 mod

that was somewhat decent

[frank kelp]

dunno

don't remember anything sounding like dat

[tight ore]

you could probably find it on the forums

it’s the new gen mustang

wasn’t actually too terrible

[frank kelp]

oh yeah that one

ye I remember

that one was kinda decent

I thought you were talking about 60s mustangs lamaoe

[tight ore]

le mao

[half egret]

yikes no not the bootleg ones

Talking about the S550 and the new RTR variants

[tight ore]

yes that can be drifted

[exotic sigil]

any car can be drifted if u try hard enough

[lucid elk]

^

Plus the mustang is more powersliding than drifting

[tight ore]

true

[lucid elk]

Except if you get the ecoboost one xd

[meager bramble]

i still have the s550 mod, sad its not being updated

confused why world of mods exists when the repo is free to use lol..

[lucid elk]

^^^^^^

[exotic sigil]

it exists to profit off of ads

lmao

[humble kindle]

Is that the bus engine?

[tight ore]

judging by his most recent mod, probably

[meager bramble]

semi motor

bus motor is that crappy teal color

[tight ore]

semi motor is r u s t colour

[meager bramble]

ya i need help with materials

[humble kindle]

Looks scaled down
So guessing it's more like a Cummins now?

[meager bramble]

ya

wouldnt use this on the street

[ashen flame]

i wonder if i should put foglights above here

[sweet star]

What're some good Nascar mods? I have the Talladega and Daytona map, Along with the latemodel stock car. Any good nascar cars I can drive?

[midnight nacelle]

didn't you already ask that lol

[sweet star]

Yeah but I got no answer :/

[frank kelp]

then there probably aren't any mod

Inertia is working on a nascar truck

[sweet star]

oooor someone else asked a question and pushed my question up

[midnight nacelle]

will be released in like 39 years probably

[frank kelp]

lmao

nah

[untold stone]

Is there a way to show a clickable link in a gui.message call from a controller? I'm working on moving a lot of my mod code into a common mod so that I don't have to work with parallel versions of everything, and I'm going to need to inform players that the next update will break without them installing the common mod.

the link would point to a post on the BeamNG forums

[wintry axle]

you guys recommend any mods to install?

[midnight nacelle]

sunburst rear right door card

[latent ivy]

highly agree, that mod saves lives

[untold stone]

@untold stone I answered my own question! gui.message supports full HTML 😄

now to figure out how to get it to open in a browser and not the beamNG window...

[half egret]

Is there any mods that allows the S550 mod to have quick ratio drift steering?

[tight ore]

you don’t need drift steering to drift

[half egret]

Lol, on the s550 mod you do

the mustang doesn't steer at all

[tight ore]

no you don’t

[half egret]

max angle is like 15 degrees

@tight ore ok, unless you want to spin out or just power slide all the way through the track, then sure

[tight ore]

learn to drive

[half egret]

lmfao

ok

someone's having a bad day

[tight ore]

I’ve had a very good day actually

[half egret]

then why are you being such a cunt?

[tight ore]

a steering rack can’t compensate for lack of driving skill

[half egret]

So what you're saying is, if you can't drift with normal steering you can't drive and you suck?

[tight ore]

what I’m saying is it should be perfectly possible to drift with stock steering

anyway i don’t think any mods for that exist

[half egret]

Okay, then install the S550 mod and send me a short clip with you drifting with it

[tight ore]

you should be able to make one yourself pretty easily

[half egret]

Since apparently you're so good at driving

record a clip of you drifting with the s550 and send it to me

[tight ore]

nah

[half egret]

then stop shitting on everybody else for just asking for a mod that allows drift steering

[tight ore]

you should be able to make one yourself pretty easily

doesn’t require a model or anything

just copy one from another car

[half egret]

whatever man

you ruined my vibe

[tight ore]

ok

[lucid elk]

learn to drive
Sorry but 99% of the time this is the correct argument when somebody complains about a car driving bad

Beamng is realism game

And to drive fast you need them mad skillz broeh

[tight ore]

with most cars drift steering doesn’t even help in any way

[half egret]

@tight ore What?

So you both are just shitting on me for no damn reason/

[tight ore]

they don’t help me

[half egret]

With drift steering you get more angle, less traction with drift tires, etc

drift builds are made so you can drift better

Are all of the people who drift with drift builds shit at driving? No. They just make the car easier to drift

it doesn't make them worse or better at driving

[polar cedar]

No ones shitting on you theyre just giving you advice

[half egret]

they're both telling me to learn to drive when I just asked for drift steering to drift easier

and I am bad at driving for wanting to make my car easier to drive/drift

[polar cedar]

Well you could either take their advice or ignore them and wait to see if someone has drift steering

You dont have to have a go at them back its not gonna help the situation

[tight ore]

No ones shitting on you theyre just giving you advice
^^^

anyway if you want drift steering you gotta make it yourself cause nobody else has

[half egret]

I don't understand how I am still in the wrong here but alright

[frank kelp]

Okay, then install the S550 mod and send me a short clip with you drifting with it
@half egret will do that right now

[half egret]

Okay fine

I am bad at driving

I get it

jesus christ

I guess the driving community is more toxic than I thought

[frank kelp]

why do you think we're toxic

as a person external to the conversation willtron sounded perfectly fine

[half egret]

Because he's suggesting that I can't drive and is telling me I should learn to do so. All because I asked for drift steering. Then multipla joined in and agreed that I should learn to drive

[trim gulch]

adding a drift steering shouldn't be that hard to add, just change a single number

[frank kelp]

yea

which version should I drift btw

[half egret]

I don't care, I am clearly bad at driving and I shall now go an learn how to mod the game

point made

[tight ore]

idk why you’re taking it as if we hate you

[frank kelp]

also how tf is that mod decent

dash is good

[half egret]

@tight ore you're just being toxic

[exotic sigil]

no youre just bad

[frank kelp]

also

[half egret]

Yeah, this community is toxic

[frank kelp]

the steering angle on that mustang is shit

like for real

[half egret]

@frank kelp this is what I've been trying to say

[frank kelp]

probably even lower than my F320 lmao

[half egret]

but all I get is "you're shit" and "learn to drive"

[lucid elk]

Lmao

[lilac bramble]

Yeah, this community is toxic
@half egret welcome to beamng

[lucid elk]

Have i missed anything

[half egret]

how am I supposed to drift with this max steering angle

[lilac bramble]

You dont

[lucid elk]

This is a normal steering angle

I think

Idk

[exotic sigil]

use a better car

[lilac bramble]

You can always open the jbeam and make it higher

Also that's probably a meshlap

[half egret]

@lilac bramble the s550 is a pretty legit mustang mod

it's not really a bootleg mod

[tight ore]

drift with a narrower angle?????

[lilac bramble]

Doesnt matter if its not a russian mod

[tight ore]

did you not think of that?

[half egret]

@lilac bramble it's not a russian mod

you can find a legit beamng thread

[tight ore]

anyway nobody is stopping you editing the jbeam

[lilac bramble]

Mate

[lucid elk]

Or get smaller wheels idk

[lilac bramble]

Just edit the jbeam if you want a drift steering

[lucid elk]

They might be bugging in the fenders

[lilac bramble]

It's like one line

[lucid elk]

Also go to the tuning menu in ctrl+w

Maybe there is a steering limit or something idk

[frank kelp]

this is probably the first time I'm trying a meshslap

and it's alright

also the steering is shit

[lucid elk]

What meshlap

[frank kelp]

S550

mustang

[slate swan]

What jbeam is it on

[frank kelp]

prolly 200BX

dis shitte

[slate swan]

Burh

[frank kelp]

actually he made the effort to move the jbeam

[slate swan]

Does it even have custom sound

[frank kelp]

yea

[slate swan]

Ah

[frank kelp]

sounds good too

sounds like a good roary mustang

low revs are goo
high revs are wonky asf

[slate swan]

Nice 200bx btw

[frank kelp]

hmm
yes

lmfao

[slate swan]

Spoiler but more oxygen than spoiler

[slate swan]

Hm

[half egret]

so I guess the mod is bad

[lilac bramble]

Of course

[slate swan]

Hey atleast it’s got custom sound

V8 200bx go brrrr

[lilac bramble]

99% of real cars mod in beamng are low effort meshlaps

[frank kelp]

agre

[slate swan]

Yes

[tight ore]

agre

[lilac bramble]

except my delorean

[slate swan]

Unless it’s the lore friendly ones on the repo like the gavril vertex

[frank kelp]

this shit undriftable

[lilac bramble]

That's still a sort of meshlap

[tight ore]

that’s not great either

[slate swan]

No not really

[frank kelp]

no it's good

[half egret]

@frank kelp yep.

[lilac bramble]

Vertex uses sunburst and automation Franken jbeam

[slate swan]

It’s technically an automation export

[frank kelp]

technically yes and no

[slate swan]

It’s a meshlap with actual effort

Like 8 months or something

[frank kelp]

it's an automation model on a modified sunburst jbeam

[slate swan]

Ye

[frank kelp]

it actually fit pretty well originally

but ye

she did the effort

8 months ye

[half egret]

I'm gonna go and try to make a gladiator drift config then

[slate swan]

That mod just proves that things people thought couldn’t be possible were actually possible

[half egret]

I'm kinda tired of the current V8 sounds though

[slate swan]

Agre

[half egret]

they just sound kinda meh

[slate swan]

And we need new v6 sounds

[half egret]

ye

[slate swan]

We need more cars with v6 as well

We only have pessima and legran as option for v6

[lilac bramble]

_shit PRV incoming _

[frank kelp]

piss and shid prv

[slate swan]

Yes

[lilac bramble]

crappiest engine of all time

and they put it in the dmc 12 😡

[slate swan]

How fast can a dmc 12 even go

[lucid elk]

Gavril vertex is a automation sunburst

[slate swan]

Sunburstn’t

[lucid elk]

With 93848483838 random parts in the part selector

[lilac bramble]

How fast can a dmc 12 even go
@slate swan 88., and you dont need more

[slate swan]

Hm

[lilac bramble]

130mph topspeed on the manual

[slate swan]

Ye

[lilac bramble]

88mph is all ya need though

[slate swan]

Agre

[tight ore]

you also don’t need roads

[slate swan]

88 Gets me to 1985 fast enough

[lilac bramble]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jbeaming it has been hell though

[slate swan]

Did you use bneditor

Or notepad

[lilac bramble]

Especially when my RR wheels stop working out of nowhere

Notepad

[slate swan]

Hm

[lilac bramble]

Vertex coordinates from blender

BNEditor just doesnt work

[slate swan]

Is jbeaming hard with notepad?

And yes bne needs an update

[polar cedar]

notepad or notepad++?

[slate swan]

Either one

[polar cedar]

easier than bne tbh

with bne you cant really get precise positions and it makes your jbeam file messy

[slate swan]

Ah

[polar cedar]

although it takes less time its just not worth it imo

[slate swan]

It’s good for visualization right?

[polar cedar]

well kinda

but you could just go ingame and hide the car to see the jbeam

[slate swan]

Hm

[half egret]

hey what was that one map called

it was like some japanese hills or something

a drift map, somehow related to running in the 90s

[tight ore]

fujigoko?

[half egret]

yes

thank you

[tight ore]

shadows are weird for me on that map

idk why

[half egret]

yeah the skybox and shadows are pretty fucked

wait no this is not the map

hold on

here it is, turns out it's not japanese based, for some reason I remembered it being so

https://www.beamng.com/threads/mount-akina-pass-touge-0-15-update-fix.54737/

[tight ore]

it is

that’s an actual road in japan

[half egret]

oh then I was correct

[lucid elk]

IRL its called Mt. Haruna

Iirc

[supple plover]

Yes

[sweet star]

Are there any El camino mods? I cant find any

[tight ore]

nope

decent mods of irl cars are very rare

[sweet star]

Gotcha

[tight ore]

kinda sad to be honest but kinda expected since good mods take such a long time to make

[pale flame]

There’s the ancient moonhawk add on that adds a Ute

But it’s fairly old

[exotic sigil]

key question is does it work

[tight ore]

last time i tried it it did

but idk in 0.20

[untold stone]

until Beam implements its own mod dependency system, I made my own 😂

[frank kelp]

lmao nice

how did you make that

[fossil ore]

how did you get colored text in a gui message lol

[untold stone]

it turns out it just supports full-on HTML

kinda discovered that on a whim

how did you make that
@frank kelp just a simple controller I put on my hybrid vehicles that checks version properties, probably over-engineered but I got bored 😂

[frank kelp]

noice

[strange forge]

what if someone made an antonov an-225 without getting copyrighted

the biggest cargo plane in the world in beamng?

it can carry 50 cars which will probably lag even for high end computers

1 or 2 trains

4 or 3 tanks

[frank kelp]

ye sadly planes are hard to do

[calm hinge]

TBH a big issue would be having a map it can take-off from.

[feral elk]

Couldn't you just make a high and basic rectangle that fits the airplane, you spawn it somewhere, use the world editor, position it right and then take off?

Okay now that I wrote out the idea it sounds way too complicated

[calm hinge]

Yeah, too complicated for the average user

[feral elk]

Hmmm

Well then it's an actual problem

[cloud pike]

How long is the Italy runway, it's the longest we have officially too right?

[frank kelp]

yeah

is lonke

[lucid elk]

2km IIRC

[cloud pike]

yeah well AN-225 wouldn't make that at all but if we ever got that 737 mod that runway should've been just fine for it, but since beam isn't a flight sim it might get a shorter take off run easily since the b-25 doesn't take much to get airborne

[signal sorrel]

The antonov can barely land at Automation 👀
Quite a challenge to land from the mountains

[feral elk]

get's flight equipment for a car game

[lucid elk]

yes

[feral elk]

Infact, I have it already, but others not lul

[frank kelp]

the B25 is ez to land on the automation runway

dunno about the antonov doe

[cloud pike]

Utah dirt runway landing challenge

[frank kelp]

which plane

someone needs to make a cessna 152

[cloud pike]

it's easy in the b25, haven't tried with the an-12

[feral elk]

gib me 747-8 I'll land that shit on an aircraft carrier

[frank kelp]

lmao

[cloud pike]

we had a great little cessna which was one of the first mods in the beginning, was fun to use

[feral elk]

Have fun modding both tho

[frank kelp]

yeah the first cessplane was cool

bit outdated tho

[feral elk]

The controls were a bit weird, but that might be because of my key bindings

[frank kelp]

doesn't have the great flying physics that the B25 and the jet thingy have

[cloud pike]

if i remember correctly both had weird key bindings, and individual to the mods too, controllers wouldn't work either on the old plane mods

cessplane and the cessna

[frank kelp]

yea

smth like this would be nice

[feral elk]

I mean

It's standing there

So it's half done

Just get the model, and add the rest

Can't be thaaaaat hard 🥴

[cloud pike]

I'd really like to see a light aircraft again, easy to fly and the slow cruise speed just works for the smaller official maps

[frank kelp]

yeah same

[feral elk]

I mean don't forget the glider

The d-250

Wait

[frank kelp]

yeah that one is great

but a powered plane

cessna 152

pls

[feral elk]

Hmmm

[cloud pike]

Oh right I forgot it xD

[feral elk]

Why not cessna 172

[frank kelp]

nah

[cloud pike]

152 yess

[frank kelp]

we need a shitty small ass old plane

[feral elk]

Well then

[frank kelp]

will try the Me262 on utah

[feral elk]

wait a sec

BÄM

Small, shitty, slow as fuck, but it flies

[exotic sigil]

1fps

[feral elk]

Ye it just loaded

[frank kelp]

an X-cub would be cool too

old carbureted shitte

ok so basically

Me262 can't even takeoff from the utah runway

lamaoe

[cloud pike]

just as i'm watching a direct comparison vid of fsx and fs2020 for the nostalgia

the cub would work too yeah

[feral elk]

lmfao

Why the frick would you compare fsx and fs2020

That's like

I dunno

[supple plover]

well

[feral elk]

16 years of difference

You could make how it evolved

[supple plover]

I guess they wanted to look at progress

because fsx was the version before

[feral elk]

But like compare a trolley with a car

[cloud pike]

Yeah it's a progress thing more so

[supple plover]

it's not a "which should I buy" kind of comparison

[cloud pike]

Cool to see when fsx blew my mind when it came out, now fs2020 is doing so

[supple plover]

it's more to show the difference in tech

[cloud pike]

didn't we have an ultralight at some point modded into beam

[feral elk]

I don't think so no

[cloud pike]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/eolus-l-575-ultralight-trike.24/ oh wow we did, wasn't sure

outdated as hell

[feral elk]

Oh

2015

[supple plover]

rip

I loved that mod to bits

literally

crashed it

[feral elk]

Didn't know about beamng at that time

^^

[cloud pike]

yyyep old mod

[supple plover]

yea

[frank kelp]

does it still work?

[supple plover]

no

[frank kelp]

crap

[supple plover]

very ded

MMMmm

maybe i'll fix

[feral elk]

[supple plover]

although it's unlikely

[feral elk]

Gl getting the right

[supple plover]

i have so much stuff to do

[cloud pike]

If you wanna try it'd be cool, the graphics are deeply improved since this thing was last airborne, would be fun to cruise in

[supple plover]

hmm

maybe, maybe

[frank kelp]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/strato-hmx-920-aerobatic-aircraft.39/

this was probably one of the best airplanes in beam

[cloud pike]

A little wobbly but great fun, and great damage model too

[pseudo cypress]

@frank kelp I thought it doesnt work anymore?

[cloud pike]

Nah we're just discussing the good outdated plane mods

[supple plover]

mm

Idk, if I had to choose

what would I do

[pseudo cypress]

Ah. Yeah there were some good mods back in the day that I missed out on

[supple plover]

what would you want to see more

the HMX?

or the Pegasus

vote by reaction

[pseudo cypress]

I'm not familiar with them unfortunately

[exotic sigil]

hmx seems more fun

[supple plover]

I'm not familiar with them unfortunately
@pseudo cypress maybe look at the threads linked above

then you will get an idea

[cloud pike]

hmx is way funner, though maybe you can see which one is easiest and which one you'd like to see most in-game to fix?

[exotic sigil]

wasnt the fmx featured in a beamng showcase video of pressure

hmx

[supple plover]

hmx is way funner, though maybe you can see which one is easiest and which one you'd like to see most in-game to fix?
@cloud pike hmm yea

[pseudo cypress]

You know what we really need

Not particularly a mod, but in game would work best

A fire truck

[supple plover]

dun dun dun

[exotic sigil]

etk-1800? doesnt that add one

idk if its etk-1800

smthg like that

[pseudo cypress]

It doesnt have a hose

Like a functional fire truck

[supple plover]

welll

how

[cloud pike]

dun dun dun
@supple plover yessssss

[supple plover]

fluid physics don't exist

[pseudo cypress]

Not sure how someone would build a mod like that, thats why i said it would be best if it was a legit addition to the game

[supple plover]

@supple plover yessssss
@cloud pike no promises yet, I am trying to gauge how hard it is

also, it may take a long while

[pseudo cypress]

It would be fun putting out burning cars

[supple plover]

as I am starting school sometimes soon...

and that eats up LOADS of modelling time

inconvenient amirite

[cloud pike]

Maybe using the recently added water splash textures and just having it be like a scripted action for the water, like rigs of rods did

[supple plover]

maybe

[cloud pike]

@cloud pike no promises yet, I am trying to gauge how hard it is
@supple plover No problem, tbh i'm expecting it'll not be an easy fix but all the best with it

[pseudo cypress]

But that would drown cars easily

Still a great idea tho

and ye im excited for your work @supple plover I've seen s lot of maps and stuff involving the hmx but haven't been able to enjoy them

[cloud pike]

Like you said though it might need something official in-game first for the water particles to affect fire, then it could be worked into the game as a mod if not officially

[supple plover]

and ye im excited for your work @supple plover I've seen s lot of maps and stuff involving the hmx but haven't been able to enjoy them
@pseudo cypress thanks, hopefully I can make this work...

[feral elk]

@pseudo cypress thanks, hopefully I can make this work...
@supple plover Don't you need some kind of license or agreement of the creator?

[supple plover]

I do, if I want to release

however, since this is currently a private test

I shouldn't see a need to ask yet

[feral elk]

true

[supple plover]

dun dun dun two

ookay..

well, the good news is that the meshes loaded ok the first time, but before they finished it froze the game with that physics pause thing

so at least the model works okay

It could be a jbeam issue

it probably is a jbeam issue

[cloud pike]

uhmm if i recall correctly something related to the engine? i'm gonna try dig around a bit and see what complaints people had about the outdatedness of it

[supple plover]

ah yes

i did look

[cloud pike]

like the actual propeller

[supple plover]

hmm

[cloud pike]

-maybe-, can't exactly recall

[supple plover]

does anyone remember how to access that N/B editor

it's everywhere in tutorials

I can't find it

heyy, it's a start

[fading jackal]

Do you know any mods that add car parts to the customization menu?

[cloud pike]

noo the propeller was one of the things fixed in the last update before it went outdated, something else is wrong then

[supple plover]

it could have broke

again

[cloud pike]

@fading jackal https://beamng.com/forums/mods-and-skins.25/
https://beamng.com/resources/categories/mods-of-mods.7/

try these

[fading jackal]

Ok

[cloud pike]

some mods might be outdated though

it could have broke
@supple plover could be yea

but yeah can't find what n/b editor you're after

[supple plover]

I mean this thing

[cloud pike]

has it been worked into the new world editor?

?

[supple plover]

Hmm

you may be right!

[feral elk]

What's the vehicle editor?

[supple plover]

aha!

something i deffo wrong at the front

[cloud pike]

What's the vehicle editor?
@feral elk Never opened it myself but I think ability to mod jbeam to change vehicle characteristics

[feral elk]

Hm

[cloud pike]

aha!
@supple plover yeeep looks familiar to that engine issue

[supple plover]

oh wow

it works ok

apart fron that engine coming off

everything else is completely normal

controls work

even the trottle lever still moves

[cloud pike]

that might actually be doable then

[supple plover]

so all in all, it is looking simple

man I am soo happy rn

[cloud pike]

the aerodynamics i think have changed a bit since then so hopefully it's still able to be airborn after fix

[supple plover]

ye

only one way to find ou tho

[cloud pike]

nice man keep it up

[supple plover]

haha

just tried something else too

the stall horn is functioning

and the aero seems to work ok from y limited testing

[cloud pike]

oh wow so it's just seemingly some dated jbeam atm xD

[supple plover]

oh, one other thing

it really really hates respawning

hmm

what can possiibly cause that

[cloud pike]

maybe related to the new vehicle loading

or just that instability every time it respawns

[supple plover]

hmm

yea

i'll look through documentation

ooh

okay

[cloud pike]

yess, might help to see what's changed in the recent changelog too if anything hints at the spawning issue, if its not related to jbeam

[supple plover]

so it's a lucky dip lol

just jeep spamming reset

*keep

and eventually it'll go

I think it's the prop

[cloud pike]

ahah nice

it could really be that simple

[supple plover]

it must break the game when it hits something

so sometimes it flies away harmlessly

[cloud pike]

have you put this in water yet btw, i remember old plane mods always got instabilities when hitting water

[supple plover]

but other times it explodes

have you put this in water yet btw, i remember old plane mods always got instabilities when hitting water
@cloud pike oo yea

[cloud pike]

okayy xD

[supple plover]

beam's most hated enemy

I think xD

[cloud pike]

yep not sure how the plane mods work but it hated that

[supple plover]

not game breaking ish

like on land

[cloud pike]

noo its a minor issue that one

[supple plover]

just pot luck

[cloud pike]

yep

[supple plover]

so looks like it's the prop

it must spazz out and kill the engine

and also kil the game

[cloud pike]

that actually seems to be it then

[supple plover]

more evidence to support my theory is that it's a certain amount of time before the crash

[cloud pike]

you tried slow mo i'm guessing to see what goes first?

[supple plover]

so it must keep hitting the water in the same way
