[frank kelp]

yea, happens to everyone

I'm sorry if I worded my stuff wrong aswell lol

but yeah I do appreciate the effort

[gilded ginkgo]

its all g

[wise lake]

how does it look like from the rear?

[gilded ginkgo]

i was just really hyped for it and was seeing it thru rose colored glasses and when someone didnt see it the same way it was a reality check

Brett is right

[frank kelp]

Rear looks fat n' cool doe

whole V6 idea is great

wbimp is hella awesome

just that fascia

that's it

[gilded ginkgo]

how does it look like from the rear?
@wise lake rather unchanged, more is planned in the future

[frank kelp]

rest is

[gilded ginkgo]

lol thanks

its aight lucas no need to hide your opinion

[frank kelp]

no I'm being honest here

[gilded ginkgo]

it was just worded brashly and i wasnt in a mood to deal with it

im referring to the moonhawk thing

[frank kelp]

lol I understand

also do I read "intercooled" there

[gilded ginkgo]

it says moonhawk lol

that would be a cool badge for the Legran Regional tho

[frank kelp]

o

looked like intercooled with le low pixel count

[gilded ginkgo]

currently the only rear badging for the Regional is this

[frank kelp]

me like

[gilded ginkgo]

which is accurate to the real grand national

[frank kelp]

yeah I figured

[gilded ginkgo]

and yes its properly turbo'd and is very dosey

like the real thing

[frank kelp]

national regional ☑️

lore master

[gilded ginkgo]

yos

[frank kelp]

I'd like to drive that thing doe

turbo'd moonhawk is something special lul

[gilded ginkgo]

it beats SBR4's in the quarter

[frank kelp]

[gilded ginkgo]

its a wee bit too powerful but i dont care i like my speedy moonhawk

i can have a little fun haha

bending the rules

i think the official time it ran in the quarter @frank kelp was a 12.7 with a launch, 13.4 with no launch

[frank kelp]

:o

that's decently fast

for a production moonhawk

lul

[gilded ginkgo]

especially when we consider its 80's american

when everything ran 20's in the quarter and that was considered fast

[frank kelp]

lol yea

[gilded ginkgo]

0-60 is like, i think its around 4.3 seconds on a prepped surface

so

its fuggin quick

[frank kelp]

how

the F320 is like 3 secs

and it's like 700kg

how tf did you make a 2 ton barge do 4 secs

[wise lake]

nobody knows how Buick did it either, but aight

[gilded ginkgo]

uhh

lol

[frank kelp]

._.

[gilded ginkgo]

there is so much boost lag

[short granite]

Because 80s boost tech, yes.

[gilded ginkgo]

its like
1K nope
2K nope
3K nope
4K HOLY SHIT THIS IS FAST

6.2K is redline lmao

[short granite]

So basically the turbo is like nopenopenopenope-yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss

[gilded ginkgo]

yeah

and its a loud turbo

the spool noise is just like the real thing

and the bov is just quiet enough to not be intrusive

...just like the real thing

[short granite]

Meanwhile all I all want for the GM is a period correct LED lightbar.

Just like the real thing, eh? Sounds nice.

[wintry axle]

😐

[latent ivy]

Bruh

I wonder if anyone still see this kid in every single private meshslap mod on youtube

I honestly don't know where this belonged so i guess it would be here...?

[native zealot]

lmao i got spam comments from him

[short granite]

I don't really understand how this kid got this far in life with the mod begging.

[runic osprey]

Evan Mark yang hebat dari 2020 Minecraft is like that one kid who asks everyone for free snacks/pokemon cards or whatever primary school kids have now

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC45aNVm68JidiAUEiA0GqNQ/videos

sweet lord his content is even worse than his name

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

also i like how he asks for the mods but doesn't even have beamng

[short granite]

Perfect audio quality in that video...not.

[runic osprey]

i can defo see him getting 9000000000000000 subs

[trim gulch]

isn't that the wreckfest demo map

[cosmic linden]

if it was made in scratch

[valid lichen]

Where can i find the etkc engine file?

[midnight nacelle]

which engine file

.jbeam?

whatever you're looking for should be in the etkc.zip

[harsh coyote]

dae files are in the common files I'm pretty sure

not sure about the jbeams, lemme check

[midnight nacelle]

they're all in the .zip i'm pretty sure

yes

[valid lichen]

yeah

[harsh coyote]

nope

etk_engine.jbeam

in vehicles/common

its shared with etk800

[midnight nacelle]

oh ye

[valid lichen]

Aha

That's why i couldnt find it!

Thanks!

[harsh coyote]

and etk_engine_diesel.jbeam for the diesel

you've got the transmissions in there as well

[valid lichen]

Now i can continue making a w16 for the etkc :D

for reasons

[midnight nacelle]

that gives me an idea

[valid lichen]

Well

it is my first "mod"

just make a new engine that has w16 in it

and a lot of power

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent ivy]

starting doing my own hood it looks so bad https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/620603331269623820/751157476438573118/unknown.png

[frank kelp]

it looks bad inteed

[latent ivy]

it looks cursed as hell

[tight ore]

i know the 1980's was the period of boxy design but i think this may be a step too far

[supple plover]

Blehh

Looks lik when you get a block of butter and use a chunk of it, that uneven wedgy shape.
I suggest leaving the hood's general shape alone and working on a different fascia and lights

[wispy grove]

hey can anyone help me i want to make like a 3d version of my pfp spinning lol

[wintry axle]

lol

#modding-general

[latent ivy]

how would i add my own custom engine that works with the tseries

[frank kelp]

by copying the t-series' engine.jbeam, renaming everything then changing stuff to your needs

[honest tree]

Is modding hard ?

if its not so difficult i would try too

[polar cedar]

depends on what you want to make

a spoiler or more powerful engine parts etc arent too hard

a whole car is

[honest tree]

well i want to make a whole car

[runic osprey]

I don't see anything modded

[trim gulch]

look closer

the cab

[runic osprey]

Oh right

Lul I'm so blind

[frank kelp]

well i want to make a whole car
@honest tree then that's rather hard for a beginner

[honest tree]

okay

[latent ivy]

The hood is still pretty loose

[mint light]

crawler axles for normal hopper & other offroad cars when

it would be epic

[calm hinge]

crawler axles for normal hopper
Why?

And those axles pretty much require the modified chassis, due to the shock mounts.

[sonic tundra]

All it takes is a dupe of the chassis and remodify some to fit the car of choice

[frank kelp]

breux

[calm hinge]

All it takes
Yes 👍

[frank kelp]

actually wait

if all it takes is that then do it yourself I guess

could be a great way to learn how to mod

[sonic tundra]

I would do all of it myself but I can’t be asked to work on beamng mods for the time being I’m busy Witt another game

[frank kelp]

cool and good

[gilded ginkgo]

hmm yes

[frank kelp]

that sweet feeling

of either uploading or updating a mod

[gilded ginkgo]

idk man, feels like an update to me

[short granite]

If WBIMP wass EA it'd be like:

OK, $45.00 for more cars.

[gilded ginkgo]

i could totally charge i guess
but whats the fun in that?

[short granite]

Picks the Grand Marshal wagon woodie because you gotta appease your woodgrain parents.

[gilded ginkgo]

man of culture!

[short granite]

Nothing is better than w o o d g r a i n trim.

[gilded ginkgo]

but 80's GM

[short granite]

Ah yes the logic of having the name as a trim level, and then it becomes its own model.

Kinda like how the F-150 Ranger Explorer was a trim level that later birthed two separate vehicles.

[gilded ginkgo]

mhm

the official full name for the Grand National knock off we have is:
"Bruckell Moonhawk Legran Regional 3.8 Turbo"
the config name only shows the first 4 words tho

[short granite]

Hopefully it has the Bruckell Reliability™️ on it.

[gilded ginkgo]

lol

[wise lake]

the woody wagon looks amazing

wait, is the 200NX a separate vehicle or based on the 200BX frame?

seems too short compared to a BX

might be just the angle of the tumb, but still

[gilded ginkgo]

its an FF layout Pessima based econosport coupe

base model has 90 hp lmao

[midnight nacelle]

i'm even more excited for this now

[wise lake]

AMAZING

wait, does it have a T-top as well or am i trippin?

[gilded ginkgo]

T-top is standard

[wise lake]

niiiice

it looks to be p fun to drive

even if it is underpowered and maybe FWD

idk

[gilded ginkgo]

ive heard a lot from my team about how fun it is

so

[short granite]

Fun to yeet around in the local Arby's parking lot, yes.

[midnight nacelle]

it's more than just a "config pack" at this point really

[gilded ginkgo]

"new game lol"

[midnight nacelle]

a new definition of config pack 😎

[gilded ginkgo]

my goal has been achieved

and in only 306 mbs

optimization 100

[midnight nacelle]

hory shet

[wise lake]

nice

[gilded ginkgo]

compare that to before

it was 374 ish

half the content

now its 306 double the content

[wise lake]

dont think ive been this hyped for a mod lol

[gilded ginkgo]

glad i could be that for you

[wise lake]

and this is the first version of this mod i'm going to play with

[midnight nacelle]

i've also been excited

[gilded ginkgo]

g o o d

[midnight nacelle]

very much so

[gilded ginkgo]

the previous version is shit in a ziplock bag

[midnight nacelle]

i liked that too

[gilded ginkgo]

compared to this?

its shit in a ziplock bag

[midnight nacelle]

lol i'll take your word for it

had to get used to living without config packs after it got outdated

[pale flame]

Not really sure what i'm doing... its supposed to be a lore chevette but with minimal modding experience I'm pretty lost

[wise lake]

nice Gremlin

[pale flame]

I don’t even k ow what it’s gonna be if it works all I know is that it’s gonna be underpowered and shit

[sharp marlin]

I am curious if the car shown here is a real mode

[gilded ginkgo]

meshslap

most likely

also, better discord?

or something im not aware of

[sweet star]

Are there any decent smoke mods? I saw Neilogical had one in his 100bx vid. Nut none that I download seem to work

[sacred aurora]

BetterDiscord is against ToS no?

[lucid elk]

Hadacoolkerr posted this

So 200% chance its a meshlap

[exotic sigil]

betterdiscord is against ToS yes but i think discord doesnt care at this point because so many people have it, could be wrong

[lucid elk]

What even is betterdiscord

[exotic sigil]

it allows u to customize discord in various ways n stuff

[gilded ginkgo]

see private chats

im shaking up and down

[lucid elk]

You guys are chad

[tight ore]

what the hell

early early christmas present

[latent ivy]

Oh, is there a new update of WBIMP

[polar cedar]

Yep

[gilded ginkgo]

si si

[feral elk]

Respect!

[gilded ginkgo]

its weird because i always see the issues in everything
like some textures dont work on first mod load, have to restart game for them to work

its weird

[feral elk]

But overall it's freaking awesome, that it worked

[gilded ginkgo]

heh

glad you think that!

[feral elk]

I just got one question

There's no file in the ingame repository

[gilded ginkgo]

nani

[gilded ginkgo]

maybe it hasnt been added there yet

thats out of my control

[feral elk]

I found this one, but it says it's 374,7MB large

[gilded ginkgo]

yeah

the ingame repo version hasnt been updated

tf

[feral elk]

The one on the website has 292,1

Wellp

Gotta wait then xd

[gilded ginkgo]

go to website and download

and plop in mods folder

should work just the same

[feral elk]

I cannot update it then, otherwise I run into duplicated mods again

[tight ore]

put it in repo folder

[feral elk]

and it took me the entire day to fix that issue

[gilded ginkgo]

search ur mods folder for "WBIMP" and delete ur old version

replace with 2.0

boom bada bing

[feral elk]

Ayy it is clean

Don't worry

[gilded ginkgo]

o

download

[feral elk]

My mod folder

[gilded ginkgo]

put here

yes ok u are smart

[feral elk]

Ye ye I know, so if I put it into the repo folder

[gilded ginkgo]

uhh

that may mess stuff up

[feral elk]

Can I update it via the repo without duplicating it again?

[gilded ginkgo]

no it will dupe

ive tried that

[feral elk]

Well then

[gilded ginkgo]

hmph

[feral elk]

Gotta wait, not running into that shiet again

[gilded ginkgo]

lol

respectable

[feral elk]

Better wait than cleaning my entire mod folder again, nah ah, I learned out of that 12 hours of fixing

[gilded ginkgo]

ouch

[feral elk]

Out of 165 mods 45 made it lul

[gilded ginkgo]

WBIMP 2.0 IS FINALLY OUT!

https://www.beamng.com/resources/wbimp-game-expansion.6880/
@gilded ginkgo YEEES

sry for the unnecessary tag, but YEEEEEEEEEES

[gilded ginkgo]

lole

is all good

it is 5 am however

ive spent 4 hours playing damage control

[wise lake]

thats some nice 7 months of work there

can't wait to crash it

[gilded ginkgo]

tis the reason it exists

[fossil ore]

very gud mod yes

[latent ivy]

i do agree

[frank kelp]

i've been bamboozled

[latent ivy]

haha

[frank kelp]

I've always called it wee-bimp

lmao

[latent ivy]

tbh

i always called it by spelling each letter

W.B.I.M.P

[frank kelp]

sometimes I called it wee-bee-em-pee

lul

[latent ivy]

i even sometimes spelled it in french

silly me

[robust vessel]

@frank kelp bruh you pronounce "w" as "wee"?

[frank kelp]

yes

@robust vessel I'm Belgian and English is not my primary language and that's bound to lead to inaccuracies in my pronunciation

[robust vessel]

it's just interesting

i've never seen it pronounced "wee"

[frank kelp]

in french we pronounce it "double-v"

with the v being said as "vay"

but it can also be pronounced vee depending on the use

so that's prolly where that's coming from

now I know you can't pronounce it like that lol

[robust vessel]

usually i hear it pronounced "double-you"

the french are clearly smarter

[frank kelp]

well let's say they just like complicating things

English is simpler and imho way easier to learn for a foreign person

usually i hear it pronounced "double-you"
same but in WBIMP for me it felt better to say it wee for some reason

lul

[frank kelp]

@gilded ginkgo dunno if you're the one I should talk to about this but I feel like the driver's cam in the 200NX is a bit too high up
this is how I feel like it should be

just a suggestion

the rest is almost flawless

[tight ore]

to be fair it is a pretty small car

you would be further up

[frank kelp]

no not really

[tight ore]

rip your tyre textures

[frank kelp]

200BX is as low but has the driver cam at about the same level that I have mine on the 200NX

yea

tires go poof

idk why

[tight ore]

200BX is as low but has the driver cam at about the same level that I have mine on the 200NX
🤔

the 200NX is really short from front to back lol

[cyan depot]

200nx shid proportions

[cosmic linden]

cant you just move it manually anyway

[feral elk]

Damn it's been 3 hours and the WBIMP's still not in the ingame repo xd

Does someone got an idea how long it takes for the ing. repo to update? Maybe there's an average time ^^

[exotic sigil]

probably every 24hours id guess

[feral elk]

[wise lake]

The police paintjob on the facelifted Grand Marshall is mirrored

but yeah, really enjoying the mod

i love 1000hp engines as much as the next person, but i also love when a mod adds mostly normal stuff

[short granite]

You can always puts the original GM doors on to solve that temporarily.

[wise lake]

didnt even think of that lol

thx

[tawny rock]

tell me how many things are wrong with just this cars specs

[severe breach]

"7 lbs"

[tawny rock]

yes and i think there is one more too

[severe breach]

the value or derby class?

[tawny rock]

its in the description compared to the name

its called 4wd but in the description of the car its awd

[short granite]

$225,000 for a track buggy car? What a steal!

[tawny rock]

ikr

especially for only 7 pounds of car XD

[solid rapids]

advanced light materials

[supple plover]

Made of helium

[short granite]

Made of advanced lightweight paper.

[supple plover]

it's origami

[calm hinge]

🤔 Yeah.... Might have broken something with my info file editor

Copied the wrong value in the wrong place and just sent it to the info files 👌

🤔 Something definitively got broken, this is a mess

Price is arbitrary like probably the vast majority of mods, and just set up so they show up in the right order.

Derby class I'm pretty sure is also an arbitrary thing in general so 🤷‍♂️

[gilded ginkgo]

The police paintjob on the facelifted Grand Marshall is mirrored
@wise lake I’m aware of dis bug

It will get fixed in a hot fix do not worry

[neat hinge]

Yeah this wagon could do with some more work. The C pillar is too thick, oh and needs a proper tailgate like the D Series.

The Chrysler Town and country has a pillar similar to this but much smaller. https://car-from-uk.com/ebay/carphotos/full/ebay141324544292100.jpg

[sweet star]

What mod is this?

[pseudo cypress]

i want it

[neat hinge]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/wbimp-game-expansion.6880/

[pseudo cypress]

hold up

this mod is from 2019, are the cars still ok?

[polar cedar]

it was updated yesterday so its fine

[pseudo cypress]

not what the repo says

[polar cedar]

yeah the in-game repo takes a little while to update

its fine on the website though

[pseudo cypress]

this is the unfortunate thing about an alpha game with mod support

dont get me wrong i love the game, i have over 1000 hours and mods getting outdated isnt that big of a deal

[wise lake]

well, at least it's not like GTA V where 99% of the modding community is held together by a single mod

ScriptHook

so the entire modding community for that game pretty much dies until the guy updates that mod

[pseudo cypress]

oof

yea i just feel bad for mod makers is all

[neat hinge]

Remember the fiasco with Open IV a few years ago?

[wise lake]

o yeah, that was baaaad

sad thing is, Rockstar used to actually promote mods on their official newswire

now they go against it because oNlInE cOnTeNt

[neat hinge]

Well if the economy on online wasn't so shocking people wouldn't have to resort to hacking.

[wise lake]

as a GTA fan, i'm sad that Online is still popular

[sweet star]

Why?

[neat hinge]

$580,000 for a Civic? GTFOOH!

[sweet star]

Tru tru

I play GTAO for the cars, I go to car meets and shii

[wise lake]

it may have put a brake on future plans for the series, and now with most of their creative masterminds gone (Leslie, Dan and Lazlow), i'm kind of afraid of whats to come

[sweet star]

Look at #other-games

[wise lake]

true, this has gone way too offtopic lol

but i digress

[sweet star]

Yeah I don't play for the missions lol

[wise lake]

i dont play at all, FiveM ftw

/rant

[sweet star]

Yeah FiveM is cool

[neat hinge]

Yeah why would I pay the price of one whole game just for a couple of cars? So anyway have you guys used this mod? https://www.beamng.com/resources/1963-ibishu-celtia.14228/

[wise lake]

not yet

[sweet star]

Downloading it now

[neat hinge]

Has an overheating problem and styling is all out of wack too. Mirastow or Barimar.

[sweet star]

It didn't work before so I'm downloading from online and putting it in folder

[wise lake]

yeah, i heard... mixed things ab it

but i'm too distracted by WBIMP now

[sweet star]

Lol. Did you get rid of some mods before using it? I'm thinking of dragging all of mine out so I actually know what's in it

Then how do people have it? Sorry if I look arrogant

[wise lake]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/wbimp.59677/

[sweet star]

Yeah nvm I have it

Was the 200NX in the past version?

[fossil ore]

the celtia is meh

a bunch of mesh inconsistencies and wacko proportions

[polar cedar]

Was the 200NX in the past version?
No it was added in 2.0

[sweet star]

Ight I just got rid of like 50 mods

Let's see how this goes

loading speed boutta be 400% faster

are there any gauges?

and the interior seems to wobble alot

Umm

I just noticed there's a chair under this bus

Fresh spawn. Freshly installed mod. Freshly installed game.

the mod

[feral elk]

That's for those who really wanna experience driving 😎

[frank kelp]

lmao

that mod is kinda outdated iirc

[feral elk]

And performance heavy for some reason

[frank kelp]

well

it's a bus

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[feral elk]

The cb40(?) and dtl (including the mod) aren't doe

[ripe gulch]

Well there's only three school buses?

[frank kelp]

ok?

"only"?

The cb40(?) and dtl (including the mod) aren't doe
@feral elk then the dude that made the dansworth can't optimize shid

the CB40 is the best one by far

[feral elk]

Seems like ye

[royal stag]

you means a fuel stations mod ? I install this but not work with all véhicules

[latent ivy]

it will need more work but https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/743226142734942319/752236083504480286/screenshot_2020-09-06_14-34-45.png

[lucid elk]

The headlights should be changed too

[latent ivy]

that looks weird as hell

ok furry

[short granite]

Looks like a block of butter after someone sliced a bit off the top corner.

[latent ivy]

ye it needs some more work but the genral shape is there

do something with the headlights

i will

[wise lake]

this thing is nearly at cursed levels lol

[frank kelp]

lmao

[fossil ore]

lol

[latent ivy]

It's blursed

And again I'm still working on it it's getting close to being done as soon as the bed is done and minor stuff

The general shape is there the grille is wonky tho

[wise lake]

maybe try rounding up the fenders a bit

they look really out of place like that lol

[latent ivy]

Allright

[solid rapids]

when you discover proportional editing

[pseudo cypress]

ive known about the bus bench being through the ground, thankfully thats not where its hitbox is @ripe gulch

[latent ivy]

looks more cursed

k

i really dont care

it's your mod I can't do anything about it

[runic osprey]

ngl it kinda just looks like a d-series with a t-series frame and front parts

no offence though

[latent ivy]

thats the point

[runic osprey]

It looks like a great mod

[fossil ore]

its a good idea but its kinda wonky

[latent ivy]

im just glad the bed is on there

AR162b created something similar to that mod, but it's been in development limbo for almost 5 years if not already.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/693593502889672724/752196254242439239/screenshot_00387_1920-jpg.png?width=1204&height=677

huh

Trying to re-create the front end from it and put it on yours would make it look a lot better than using a Semi truck hood with almost no modifications except for making it curved.

well im trying to make it resemble a ford f650

it does look kinda fugly so maybe thats why it looks blursed

[fossil ore]

try making the grille flatter and smaller

kind of like the one in ar's pic

[latent ivy]

Also square out the fender wells a bit.

[polar quarry]

That hood looks horrific

[supple plover]

not how to respond to feedback

Yes it was harsh, but you can take things constructively most of the time, unless it is really not reasonable.
I mean, it's clipping with the engine noticeably at this point

ima back off to avoid any flamewar

[trim gulch]

Brett is a bit straight forward at times

[tight ore]

brutally honest

[fossil ore]

just a quick warning

if you release it to the repo looking like that you are most likely going to be criticized harshly

[latent ivy]

Well 60% of the feedback is negative so idc I've spent my own personal time making this for me and other people so seeing more negative comments then good will piss you of

@supple plover and it's not done yet

But I will take what you guys said and base the design of ar12s one but it may take a while trying to figure out how to

Reddit seems to like it. Soooo

And I actually like the hood design so

Could use some tweaking but

[supple plover]

yeah, keep at it and best of luck to you

[latent ivy]

I understand why some people may think it looks werid the f650 hood does look kind weird but i will throw in some elements of ar12s one

Also I think I fixed the engine clipping

[midnight nacelle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/743226034689802410/752526200567496754/screenshot_2020-09-07_09-49-59.png?width=1237&height=677

i'm sorry but that looks like it's melted

maybe most of the feedback is negative for a reason? you shouldn't take it as hostility

[wise lake]

to make some constructive criticism: What about making a smoother transition between the cab and the hood? this should take away some of the awkwardness of it, because as of now it looks like a Dseries that was placed on a T-series frame with the node-grabber

[midnight nacelle]

that'll surely come

[wise lake]

yeah, and it could make the hood look less odd

[midnight nacelle]

this bit just looks ruined

[wise lake]

yeah, but c'mon, the person's still working on it.

it's not like they released it like that, at least not to my knowledge

[midnight nacelle]

i think they did actually

they released a beta

like JsZ said, you could take some inspiration from AR's work

although at this rate that hood might use some rework

[wise lake]

i think they are going for a more modern look than that

if that's the case, the bumper might be causing this uncanny feel

[midnight nacelle]

shrinking the grille will help i think

[wise lake]

yeah, witha more sloped hood

like the reference pic he linked above

[midnight nacelle]

and the t series hood is a bit too long for the job

[wise lake]

well, it could work

[midnight nacelle]

this won't just work with tacking the d series bed & body on the t series frame and hitting the hood with subsurf

[wise lake]

damn, i really need to learn Blender to make some more complex mods lol

[midnight nacelle]

lol i can't model much at all yet but this is common sense

[wise lake]

but yeah, i'd really love to do something more custom other than custom configs

[midnight nacelle]

it could be a massive help for them to take insipiration from AR

[wise lake]

got some ideas, mostly dumb ones

[midnight nacelle]

i have a trailer model i'm nearly done with

[wise lake]

nice

i might try to do some props

feels like were missing some stuff to crash cars into

[midnight nacelle]

i also have a wardrobe ingame

on hold forever probably

[latent ivy]

how does this look?

the headlights need tampred with but

[trim gulch]

Are you using the sculpt mode

[latent ivy]

yes

[robust vessel]

are you using mirror modifier

or edgesplit

[latent ivy]

sculpt tool

[smoky frigate]

Pulling parts from other vehicles is fine but the two vehicles you are piecing this together from are too old for something so modern especially since you are using parts from the T-Series. I'd say pull it back a generation, rather than basing it on a Seventh Gen F650 it might help to base it more around an early sixth gen F-Series medium duty truck. I can't really tell if you are using references, but if you aren't take a bit of time to compile yourself some references. Find yourself blueprints, photos, your own drawings so you can refer back to them when you model, the more you have the easier your life will be.

[latent ivy]

something like this?

[smoky frigate]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/Ford_F700_of_the_Minnesota_Air_National_Guard.jpg/1280px-Ford_F700_of_the_Minnesota_Air_National_Guard.jpg

[latent ivy]

oh

that grille would be hard to do

i could box model it but i would need help

[smoky frigate]

You may want to take the time to actually learn something past sculpting too. I don't really think you should be using the sculpting stuff for Beam NG anyways, mainly because you need to be rather conservative with your poly counts and the polyflow for Beam NG.

Also while it's fine to take parts from the other vehicles for some things, eventually you are gonna need to model something from scratch.

[latent ivy]

allright ill just go back the oringal semi hood for now

still gotta fix the werid non matching colors but i guess its better

[supple plover]

Hmmp

Why not cut the grill in half and have just the bottom bit

Then you have a nice bulge

[latent ivy]

14k pound truck no wonder its so slow

[supple plover]

why not make the bed a lil bit wider too
Currently looks a bit flimsy

[wise lake]

I kinda like it, looks like what someone would make if they had a saw and some junk trucks laying around

Not sure if thats the intention, but still

[latent ivy]

would you guys be fine with the t series hood staying like that?

[sonic tundra]

Clipping

And mismatched reflections are not good

[wise lake]

Is there a mod that adds hydraulics to more vehicles?

Id love a proper lowrider LeGran

[midnight nacelle]

if you properly blend the hood with the body that alone might look pretty good

[magic depot]

@wise lake nope

[latent ivy]

quick question

thoughts on saddlers gorge

[tight ore]

cool concept but the map itself has hardly any detail

[latent ivy]

yeah thats true, small map with little detail but a destructible bridge makes it worth it

[wise lake]

wtf is going on in the Zephyr thread? tf

[short granite]

That's what I'm wondering too.

But then again, it's the forums.

[wise lake]

fair enough

[short granite]

I had to freaking scroll through a wall of "shut up" on that thread just to get to the bottom of the page.

But damn, did that thread go down the hole fast.

[stoic kiln]

i'm hyped af for the actual mod tho

[wise lake]

yeah, havent seen a thread go downhill so quickly since GTAForums

[stoic kiln]

only forum i use is the ltt one, it's heavily moderated

[wise lake]

i used to enjoy GTAForums a lot, but there really isn't a lot going on in that series

and while there are some cool ppl in there, the mental age of users is around 9

but anyways, p excited for the Zephyr too

[tranquil flower]

Welcome to pretty much every forum that has a young audience.

[terse saddle]

i discontinued my mod lel

my weird formula lel

not formula, i called it chemical lel

i cant tell it fn

[short granite]

I see LucasBE has a competitor in the Formula market.

[terse saddle]

who

i think my answer is wrong

[short granite]

LucasBE, who made the Formula Cherrier and whatnot.

[terse saddle]

yes

but who is his competitor

[short granite]

You apparently.

[terse saddle]

knew it

but pretty much he will destroy me because i didnt even make any mods

but for model

hmm

hes better imo

oh btw my friend want me to make a car so i do this quite impressive fm imo

how does this look?
@latent ivy i wish the beam team has that

good job u already made a mod

i like formula and indy car nowadays because i watched turbo again (yes last i watched is when i was 6-7 yo)

ops i spam

uhh how do i make the mesh still looks good when i shade smooth?

as u can see here

the front looks low polyish

ehh gtg cya tomorrow

[latent ivy]

tfw your mod you tried to put on the repo gets declined

maybe i should finish it more

[latent ivy]

something quick and dirty to get a break from the d65

[frank kelp]

ah yes, grand marshall meshslap

my weird formula lel
@terse saddle lol why is it 20 meters long

[latent ivy]

its so bad

[short granite]

Second generation Wendover?

/s

[latent ivy]

I may turn this into something once the d-65 is done

[trim gulch]

ah yes, the scaled-to-fit-gm-jbeam meshslap

[latent ivy]

Just how the Russians do it

[terse saddle]

tfw your mod you tried to put on the repo gets declined
@latent ivy the car doesnt have thickness at the body thats why

wait i can online for a bit

Just how the Russians do it
@latent ivy bootleg lel

@terse saddle lol why is it 20 meters long
@frank kelp lel

ill rescale

[feral elk]

pingmaster3000

[terse saddle]

@terse saddle lol why is it 20 meters long
@frank kelp its becuz the uhh how do i say it lol

so the phrase is "stay compact and simple" XD

its better prob

im going to talk about the 1st gen here #off-topic

later

[frank kelp]

You should base yourself off something real

that thing looks like a roblox car

5-minutes work generally doesn't really look good

[terse saddle]

bruh

thats what i like ya know

thats my test lol

qqq

and its still the chassis

lel im still beginner

[frank kelp]

I never said you were an experienced modeler

I said that was a 5 minutes job

[terse saddle]

its more

[exotic sigil]

that thing looks like a roblox car
bye sdjfhasdfas

[terse saddle]

kekw

[frank kelp]

doesn't really look like it

[terse saddle]

i said chassis lel

yes its prob 5 minutes but i face some errors

[frank kelp]

and that's a part of learning

[terse saddle]

and yeah this diff than f1

and that's a part of learning
@frank kelp kekw

[frank kelp]

useless ping but aight

I don't even see what's funny in that

[terse saddle]

my taste XD

[frank kelp]

[terse saddle]

oh yeah i said that earlier

aigh gtg

o yeah before i go to sleep

i will post my progress

[sweet star]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/gavril-d-series-nascar-truck-release-date-yet-to-be-determined.43717/page-37 Anyone know what's up with this besides it being on hold?

[frank kelp]

Inertia's working on it

nearly done iirc

[sweet star]

I'm ready for it lol

[magic depot]

same

[trim gulch]

when it's ready and so on

[sweet star]

Speaking of wip mods, whats that one car that's based off an s15 coming from LJ or smtn

[wise lake]

Shame the last update on that was over 2 years ago

Im just excited for the oldsfullsize update

I need my land yachts

[sweet star]

WHat's that?

[wise lake]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/american-80s-fullsize-series.44514/

Mod that got broken w the update

[uncut plover]

Why has there still not been any jet airliners?

[short granite]

Because I don't think the devs want airliners crashing and whatnot.

[supple plover]

I can't find the .dae files for my automation car, they aren't in the folder that was exported...

does anyone know where they might be?

oh whoops

wrong section

[wise lake]

Why has there still not been any jet airliners?
Most maps are too small for planes in general, let alone a large one

Also the lag from having them crash

[frank kelp]

Why has there still not been any jet airliners?
@uncut plover because they're hard to make and require general aviation knowledge that not all people have

it also takes a lot of time and effort

[cloud pike]

there was a 737 mod which sadly looks to be abandoned but yeah these would take tons of work

although imo if someone made the an-24 why wouldn't a 737 with an empty interior be possible?

a cargo spec one

[short granite]

And besides, who would want to see pics of a wrecked 737 on the Community Screenshots thread?

[uncut mist]

me

[stoic kiln]

are any of the lks prerunner models awd?

[uncut plover]

There would have been one if storelab hadn't messed up restoring BeamCarHomeTrade's drive.

[runic osprey]

i mean jet airliners would be cool and all but people would probably just do nine eleven shit

[frank kelp]

are any of the lks prerunner models awd?
@stoic kiln no

they're all RWD like trophy trucks are

[stoic kiln]

sometimes there are awd ones at the mint 400 i thought

[frank kelp]

guess that answers it

[short granite]

2WD or basically just rear wheel drive offroad kit cars.

[stoic kiln]

also is there a mod with the old version of the industrial site

i've seen one for dry rock island, the old gridmap, and the port

[lucid elk]

Prerunner is basically a desert muscle car

[short granite]

You've got a point there, Multipla.

Hard to argue with your assessment on the logic of prerunners.

[frank kelp]

I don't think there is a mod for the old industrial

someone might do it at some point, dunno

[cloud pike]

Would downgrading to an older version of the game in steam and just taking the industrial map folder from there work?

[signal sorrel]

Would downgrading to an older version of the game in steam and just taking the industrial map folder from there work?
You can but you have to rename the things in the map as the name "Industrial" is now for the revamped version

[shell crater]

I wonder if there's a boat mod with a gearbox

At least 6 gears is what I like for my vehicles regardless of their type

And I wonder how to add a 6 speed gearbox (or more) to existing cars that don't have one

I would absolutely love Forza style racing gearbox upgrades where they keep the stock number of gears in the transmission but make them all adjustable...

9 speed racing gearbox, anyone?

Or for cars with less than six gears, upgrade them to 6 gears with a race gearbox

What would be even cooler than that would be a (propeller) plane, boat, or even jet engine attached to a car, with a gearbox

6 gears of jet powered fury!

Sorry for the big wall of text... I have so many ideas in my head right now lol

[shell crater]

I've also wondered how to make a racing gearbox for an Automation car if I make one

For example, an LMP car with a 6 speed paddleshift (Sequential) gearbox and a V8

[shell crater]

I wonder if something like this could be made for Beam

Hydroplane boats

Super fast

[ancient sedge]

probably

beamng physically simulates aerodynamics too so i wonder if you could actually make propellers that rotate to, well, propel

[shell crater]

One of those, plus a gearbox... F1 car for the water

[supple plover]

beamng physically simulates aerodynamics too so i wonder if you could actually make propellers that rotate to, well, propel
Propellers work in-game as proved many times in the past.
So it is very possible to make something like this

[pseudo cypress]

i just want a boat

[feral elk]

Moonhawk land yacht 101

[pseudo cypress]

yea thats a good one, same with the amphibious pigeon

[rapid grove]

[pseudo cypress]

The pigeon has far more potential than is used imo

We need like a pigeon update

[rapid grove]

Pigeon update wen?

0.21

Official amphibious car or boat?

(joke)

[exotic sigil]

submarine pigeon

[terse saddle]

they dont need 4wd

but i never think they are 2wd lel'

[supple plover]

Coffee shop pigeon?

[smoky oriole]

meter maid pigeon

[smoky oriole]

an grumman LLV style mail van pigeon

[supple plover]

Yea

[latent ivy]

allright besides glass and the hood not lining up its pretty much done is anyone willing to help me design the hood?

[smoky oriole]

i could help.

[latent ivy]

dm me im trying to kinda mimic ar12s truck in dev limbo

[latent ivy]

We need to push for Ibishu Pigeon update

[feral elk]

H series please

Give it a new fresh non-american, not cheap look

[latent ivy]

Pigeon is more imprtant

[feral elk]

Nope, not for me

[latent ivy]

Lies

[feral elk]

Bruhê

[latent ivy]

No

[feral elk]

Then at least fix this mess ;_;

[shell crater]

What is that

[feral elk]

The uv map of the rear h series

[shell crater]

I haven't seen much of what goes on under the hood in Beam

Or stuff that I don't see very often anyway

[shell crater]

And why do you want a Euro H Series? Isn't it supposed to be modeled after an American van?

I'm thinking Chevy Express van or something along those lines when I look at the H series

[frank kelp]

@shell crater He probably meant a euro van

So a euro h-series

[supple plover]

Hmm

A part monocoque H-series would be an interesting direction

[shell crater]

How can I make a racing gearbox and other racing parts for Automation cars

Or maybe add a supercharger to a muscle car

[supple plover]

I was having this thought for a mod idea
Modular maps?
So basically a lot of maps that are built to connect to each other. At the exit roads of the maps there would be triggers that would load you into a corresponding point of another map

I mean, apart from the loading time I think it would be cool

Maybe an extra bit of lua to check if traffic was on and dissipate it around in a natural manner
also a way to keep the current speed would be cool as well so you don't stop

[wise lake]

maybe a long tunnel to keep the loading seemless?

ik it's asking a lot, but still

[supple plover]

Mhm

I'll stick that into mod ideas board

XD

[wise lake]

on a similar note, would be interesting to have a huge map divided by mountains, but with different environments to drive on

so they would be connected by tunnels or mountain passes

I'd probably be the worst modder ever, cuz I'd start like 40 projects and finish none lol

[sonic tundra]

I do that

[supple plover]

If I wasn't working on something else I would love to try this out

I would probably put this concept on an automation country
Like fruinia

then I wouldn't have to worry about actually making it fit an IRL country's road design rules

[terse saddle]

wait still remember my roblox buggy that u said roblox car?

and five minutes work?

roblox car lel

[supple plover]

what?

[frank kelp]

Yea idk

[stray lake]

Trying to update my old DSC Scarab, node offset doesn't seem to work, any ideas?

Made before pressurewheels etc

[frank kelp]

Node offset doesn't work anymore iirc

[stray lake]

wait, so how does one put the wheel slot on custom vehicles?

I have them spawning in, the 5 lug wheel set, just spawns in the middle of the car

[frank kelp]

oh it does actually

wait

this is what I have on the F2's front sus

[stray lake]

I have all that too, except it just wont do anything

[frank kelp]

huh

[stray lake]

https://puu.sh/GrTKR/6484e181b3.png

[frank kelp]

in the Slots section right?

[stray lake]

yup

[frank kelp]

at least it looks like it's offsetting on the X axis

the Y axis is just nonexistant

huh

[stray lake]

oh its at zero, just comes through the ground

[frank kelp]

oh lol that might be why

[stray lake]

but yeah idk, copied it mostly from the beamng cars, so unsure

[frank kelp]

so you say that if you move it on the Y axis in the .jbeam file, it moves on the Z one in-game?

[stray lake]

nah it just seems to default 0,0,0

no matter what I put

[frank kelp]

uh

custom wheels ?

or regular beam ones?

[stray lake]

regular

5 stud

[frank kelp]

do you have refnodes set up?

[stray lake]

I assume it should have them... unless they have changed? I'll check

https://puu.sh/GrTO2/0d7ea5b261.png

[frank kelp]

I have this

dunno if the leftCorner and rightCorner matter that much in your case cuz iirc they're only used for scenarios and AI stuff

[stray lake]

oo, must have changed

[frank kelp]

I doubt it will matter much but you could always try checking that

not sure it matters for nodeOffset anyway

[stray lake]

updated anyway, but yeah no change

[frank kelp]

this is my whole line :
["wheel_F_CL","hyfo_wheel_13x10_F", "Front Wheels", {"nodeOffset":{"x":"$=case($trackwidth_F == nil, $trackoffset_F+0.22, $trackwidth_F)", "y":-1.183, "z":0.301}}],

if it's not an issue with the line itself then I really don't know what it could be lol

[stray lake]

looks fine, bugger😆 out of ideas

thanks though

been many years

[polar cedar]

what about the wheeldata part

check if its fine compared to newer ones or if its even there

[frank kelp]

oh yeah that thing

[stray lake]

copied that over from stock vehicles, and modified, I can spawn all the wheels tires etc, just nodeoffset wont work

[polar cedar]

what does the nodeoffset in your file look life

[stray lake]

Same as Lucas

[latent ivy]

Oh hello Drowsy!

[stray lake]

Hey mate 🙂

[native zealot]

refnodes aren't the issue

wheelhub info would be i guess

basically this

[livid void]

Has anyone done a two stroke engine mod yet?

[stray lake]

https://puu.sh/Gs7kL/321c8f1d8e.png

🙃

this sucks

[devout solstice]

@livid void that would be great for dirtbikes since they usually use 2stroke or 4 stroke engines

[livid void]

Someone should do that :D

[devout solstice]

damn right

[livid void]

I want small engines in beam lol

Y'know, weedwackers and such

[livid void]

I could record some sounds for a weed wacker

As I have one

[wary creek]

W211 Mercedes mod??

[lucid elk]

Why did u write this in 4 channels

[wary creek]

I’m highly interested

[wise lake]

I guess you could say i'm a map editor now

maybe not the prettiest bridge ever, but it works

[latent ivy]

If it works, dont touch it

[wise lake]

yeah

i just wanted a track to slowly destroy cars, FailRace style

but some cars couldnt make the jump

it works really well for that with the bridge

[nocturne elbow]

Seriously interested in learning how to mod for beamng, my pc can handle it for sure. Just not sure how to go about it

[wise lake]

I'd like to make a map mod at some point

seems like building in Cities: Skylines, but without the annoying demands

and 20+ minutes of loading time lol

[fossil ore]

tbh

map modding is much harder if you dont know what you're doing

[wise lake]

i don't know what i'm doing for whatever i'm doing

but yeah, whenever i get some free time i'll open up Blender and try to make a car part or smth

and end up with a distorted cube after 4 hours

[terse saddle]

is this sample has enough faces to be high poly?

cuz if i shade smooth without auto smooth it looks good

[latent ivy]

you shouldnt be concerned whether its high poly, you should just be concerned if its too high poly and lagging the game out

if it looks good then it's probably fine

[runic osprey]

Looks good to me

You can always change it

[supple plover]

Mhh
135k engine mesh is too much no?

[native zealot]

literally higher polycount than the whole vivace lol

[supple plover]

Yea

Why de fok automation?

[fossil ore]

135k for just the engine

bruh

[dusty wave]

i have a question what's a good map for street racing like the long strip of road on the industrial map? I'm also looking for a map that has a lot of mud and harsh conditions

[runic osprey]

Altitude is quite good for street racing

[terse saddle]

i use subdivide

to increase the polys

[supple plover]

Most common way

but decreasing polys is what I want to do

[eager spruce]

Anyone know some good driving road maps? Like mountain road high drops cliffs and amazing terrains?

[tight ore]

italy

[runic osprey]

Altitude mod

Or stelvio pass

[jolly solstice]

stelvio pass

[terse saddle]

!rank

[weary marlin]

LALADUDU124, that command is disabled in this channel.

[terse saddle]

ok

disabled i forgot

[weary marlin]

blanderrr, that command is disabled in this channel.

[supple plover]

Whoops

[eager spruce]

wait what @runic osprey can i have a link for stelvio pass

[runic osprey]

huh

when I search it it's not there

[eager spruce]

i know thats why i asked you

[runic osprey]

I swear there was a stelvio pass mod

[supple plover]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/stelvio-pass.68047/

This, correct?

[eager spruce]

i saw that one, idk how to install it though

cause its not through the repository'

[trim gulch]

https://wiki.beamng.com/How_to_install_mods#Installing_Resources_.28Manual_.2F_.ZIP_Method.29

[rocky kelp]

hey guys how can i convert a shapes file to obj?

[eager spruce]

any other good hill, cliff maps; other than stelvio, altitude, or beamng mountains

[pseudo cypress]

i would be interested to see the Fleetwood Bounder from breaking bad again

it exists, but the mod is from 2016

[rocky kelp]

i need to make a mod for this car

[pseudo cypress]

@rocky kelp nova or chevelle?

[teal pike]

nova i think, not for certain

but id die for a mod of either one

[wild quest]

loads gun ._.

Not today!

[ancient sedge]

my first time trying to make leaf suspension jbeam led to this lol, i made the mistake of trying to physically simulate every crevice and the volume of the beam when really i should've just made a couple of strings of beams to hang (i think)

[wild quest]

hehe mod go BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[ancient sedge]

After studying how beamng officials do it I found out their jbeams are actually far off from the actual physical shape and workings especially when it comes to more technical things like suspension etc

They just kinda mimic the proper forces and collisions where necessary and that's that.. jbeam becomes very unstable when you actually try to do shapes in detail unless you make them extremely heavy due to instability and low node weight.

I feel like this game could do so much more if lower node weights did not cause instabilities

[polar cedar]

if you know how to work it you can have really low weights

like for example i made a soda can with 13 nodes that weighs like 380g

ill go measure its actual weight just a sec

355g

its just the lower the weights go the more finnicky the beam values get

[latent ivy]

is anyone able to help me with a hood design

[stray lake]

anyone remember the luaFunction to teleport a player? for beamngtrigger

[pseudo cypress]

@rocky kelp @teal pike there is an old nova mod, but its from like 2015 or something

[tight ore]

has broken wheel textures and those horrible early sounds that all vehicles used

[pseudo cypress]

Good point

Would be nice to see an update for it

[pseudo cypress]

I wish i could commission a modder

Cuz i have other mods I would like to see finished

Like the Fleetwood bounder

[tight ore]

you can but it would cost you money

[pseudo cypress]

I know

Would you know of a place I can do that

[tight ore]

just ask people

[eager spruce]

Any one know cool super car mods? Not automation mods.

[tight ore]

no good ones have been made yet

[pseudo cypress]

@eager spruce I know mods for the bolide that are pretty cool and unique, like the Bolide Corse and Bolide Evolution

the only supercar I keep around is a bootleg

[cosmic linden]

there is a viper mod

not on forums or repo anymore though

[pseudo cypress]

What's the deformation like

[cosmic linden]

I never crash cars but it isnt a straight meshslap

Thats for sure

[midnight nacelle]

inertia's viper?

[latent ivy]

it was never on repo

but it was on forums

[midnight nacelle]

yes

[pseudo cypress]

The only supercar mod I have is a Huracan, still however a bootleg I might get rid of

[latent ivy]

ah yes the one leaked ages ago

[pseudo cypress]
