could be interesting, ill see what me and my new friend is able to do
radiant cave
Anyne got more ideas for me on this Calibra Ute? And possibly the Normal Coupe Calibra?
@coral plover Need help?
left plume
i wonder if anyone made a hummve mod with the turret from the d-series technical
fossil ore
why dont you do it yourself
runic osprey
What is the d series technical?
cloud pike
a mod which i believe is out of date, had a 50 cal in the bed
i think one of the first mods in the game that had a gun
cloud pike
nah its public
tame crown
OO
cloud pike
lemme see if i can find it
runic osprey
Thx!

@coral plover Need help?
@radiant cave well might need some help. What ya got?
pliant glen
I don't see any dents so far
@quaint blade yeah the entire thing is made up of dents, look at reflections bruhv
big step up from that last hellhole of a model though, so congrats on that
quaint blade
why do i keep wasting my time on modeling
harsh coyote
its not wasting time
pliant glen
practice is never bad
quaint blade
ree ok
harsh coyote
exactly its a practice, with every model you get better
quaint blade
Instead of a viper any suggestions on what to do next
harsh coyote
new bumper for a legran for example
we have a modding challenge going on, you could do something for that
for example
quaint blade
I personally like dodge's
harsh coyote
you can model let's say a front end of a dodge challenger
pliant glen
props would be good start too, if you don't refuse to model anything but dodges anyways :p
quaint blade
Bryce is already working on a dodge challenger too
hmm
No one ever makes a durango public..........
harsh coyote
I mean, theres way more to modding than a model
pliant glen
dont get your hopes up with that guy
and yeah, dont expect to just model a car and bam it works
quaint blade
Jbeam, Textures, bugs and stuff
pliant glen
thats why i suggested a prop, a part is good too
quaint blade
ye ik
hmm sure
Now ^^ right here makes alotta sense to me
Time to make a typical Grocery getter that's so simple
quaint blade
That's right, 15' Ford fiesta because hella why not
pliant glen
breux i would just generally avoid modern cars if i were new to modelling
fossil ore
yeah modern cars are more satisfying but much harder to model
prime dirge
If you don't have much modding experience, I'd strongly advise against making a car from the ground up
What you have to do first is make something much simpler, like a bumper or a fascia
At the beginning your skills will improve quickly, so you could find out the front of your car model has to be redone when you've already moved to the rear
Small parts have much less polygons/textures to work with
Not to mention the jbeams, which are a lot more complex and time-consuming with larger projects
Not trying to discourage you, just saying what I learned from talking with experienced modders
midnight nacelle
if you throw yourself into complexity from the get go you'll be disappointed
prime dirge
^
fossil ore
yes that
stoic kiln
can someone help me? I submitted a mod over a month ago and it hasn't been accepted or rejected
prime dirge
have you tried messaging staff?
deft kite
Go to the moderator discussion tab of your mod
deft kite
stoic kiln
yeah
deft kite
And then send a polite message, the moderators will get it as well
stoic kiln
ok
deft kite
Good luck!
quaint blade
This is getting somewhere! I wouldn't have gone this far without BryceSTP so huge thanks to him for helping (and still helping) me

tbh. I just don't see why everyone is complaining. This happens in every game with a modding community in a game that has widespread appeal.
My guess is that most people who mod are just not use to having the sheer volume of "negative " unhelpful feedback or something. But these thoughts might just be from a person who has seen worse.
Is it just because the beamng.drive moding community part of the younger generation or something.
keen cosmos
Woah
pliant glen
private mods gay mods i wish all who make these are died of AIDS
and then u wonder why they exist
keen cosmos
^^
polar cedar
I think its just because of the younger generation yeah
And the age of the people in the community
keen cosmos
yea
vast atlas
(to make clear I don't support people who act really stupid, just pointing out the difference in the amount of vocal complaining of the affected.)
tame crown
lol was that a mod creators channel
@keen cosmos eskim supra 2020 thing video
I think its just because of the younger generation yeah
@polar cedar they dont realize that mods take a lot of work to make
runic osprey
for some reason they think they are entitled to every mod they see
runic osprey
but the mod maker is under no obligation to make a mod public
tame crown
the video was made to only show the mod not for you to download it lmao
polar cedar
beggars: complain that a mod (made with hard work in their free time for free) hasnt been released
mod maker cancels mods because of beggars
beggars:
continues to beg on other mods

wise lake
pessiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiima
quaint palm
dunno how to call it actually
exotic sigil
make the top gear limo with the two fronts or whatever
quaint palm
xD
im gonna first try to get it ingame lmao
What Name do you Prefer?
Long Boi Pessima
Pessima Stretch Limo
keen cosmos
long boi
quaint palm
ok
quaint palm
thats the body
harsh coyote
Also, I'd suggest to copy the whole B pillar section
keen cosmos
^^
harsh coyote
And integrate it in front of rear doors as well
What you've done currently is just yeet the front of the car forwards and rear backwards
quaint palm
yeah
harsh coyote
Which is definitely not a way to do it
quaint palm
im trying to do something
keen cosmos
what would be the proper way to stretch it (im new to blender)
harsh coyote
This way you can just reuse all of the parts from normal pessima there
Without messing about with nodeoffsets
For the rear you still will have to do that
But its always a little less work
quaint palm
lmao
harsh coyote
As for middle section, I'd copy the B pillar and join it with the rear structure by the door
And then copy one of the rear doors, join them to the body
quaint palm
uhm
harsh coyote
And use the doors as a bodyline template for the middle section of the body
harsh coyote
Jbeam it
Hence why I told you its easier to leave the front where it was
And just work with the rear
All you did currently was overwrite the crap of the pessima's models
keen cosmos
lol
harsh coyote
Unless you copied over the whole pessima directory
Then thats just bad optimization
As far as custom meshes are concerned
quaint palm
so what should i do now?
harsh coyote
All you really need are:
1.body itself
2. Exhaust
3. Driveshaft if you want AWD capability
4. New glass sections
quaint palm
so i did this now
keen cosmos
and a months worth of time
harsh coyote
You don't need to overwrite suspension, and all of the unchanged body panels
Making a limo like this is about a day of work
keen cosmos
I was just playing man
harsh coyote
3 hours if you know what you're doing
quaint palm
3 hours if you know what you're doing
@harsh coyote yeah
i mean jbeam just put more to rear...then jbeam the rest..add some panels...and
keen cosmos
just boom "mod"
keen cosmos
^
calm hinge
Most of jbeam that needs modified would be the body, and probably the rear doors.
harsh coyote
And graft in a middle section
calm hinge
Rest just do a bunch of node offsets
quaint palm
so split it in half?
harsh coyote
Pretty much
quaint palm
okay
harsh coyote
What I tend to do
Is grab a copy of the body.jbeam
Select all nodes behind B-pillar
keen cosmos
dang you know a lot
harsh coyote
And delete them in NBE
quaint palm
what again is b-pillar never worked with that ig
harsh coyote
The center pillar
quaint palm
ahhh
keen cosmos
yall know you can move the camera in NBE with numpad...i didnt know that for like a week 😦 and i hope you can make this man. fun little project
harsh coyote
And cut off everything in front of the B pillar in that one
Then move the whole body back by whatever you extended the mesh by
Now you have a front and rear end jbeam in separate files
You have to now combine both of them
quaint palm
uhm
harsh coyote
Remember to rename the B pillar nodes in one of those files first tho
So lets say the rear, it will be let's say p7, p6, and p5 nodes
quaint palm
well im not even that far...can you maybe text me via pm? 😄
harsh coyote
So you click ctrl+h in notepad++ type in those and for example replace them for 2p7,2p6,2p5 etc
Well, I'm not going to make a mod for you, I've given you enough explenation already
quaint palm
i mean like write me that all pm like copy and paste
cuz tomorrow when i wake up i wont really find that anymore
harsh coyote
Make screenshots of all that, I'm on mobile, copy paste is hard
quaint blade
mmm engine
tawdry bear
voiper
fossil ore
@quaint palm if you want to make a limo do something like this
basically extend everything behind the b pillar and add offsets
then add a c pillar and side structure
a few hours of work at most
fading pumice
why are you asking people to do the mod for you
polar cedar
You wont get better at modding if you aren't the one doing it
tender summit
how do i add awd to the grand marshal
harsh coyote
@fading pumice learn to actually read the message before posting, he clearly said "could you maybe help me"
Help doesn't mean making the mod for someone
drowsy frost
^
quaint palm
You wont get better at modding if you aren't the one doing it
@polar cedar yeah
tight ore
do it yourself then
cloud pike
I fully understand if someone blatantly asks "do this for me" is annoying and won't teach them anything, however if someone simply asks for help bear in mind it's for support, not to do their work for them.
Give those that deserve the help the support they need if you can. If it looks like a lost cause or just begging to do their work for them just don't bother wasting your time. When you start something new don't you need help in the beginning until you settle in?
quaint palm
do it yourself then
@tight ore i asked for help ans not tjat he doing for me
tight ore
could you repeat that in english please
quaint palm
Its English im on mobile
tight ore
i didn’t understand a word you said
quaint palm
I just asked for help i didnt asked that he can do the mod for me
I just need help with jbdam but aiterror gave me help so i will continue later on

gaunt raft
I need some help I got my Hellcat ingame but I dont know how to make it work like a CAr in Beamng
It shows up invisible
harsh coyote
its not as easy as downloading a model and throwing it in game
broken onyx
you did all that
harsh coyote
exporting a model as jbeam will never work unless its a simple box
gaunt raft
harsh coyote
anything more complicated would just fall apart even if the phrasing was correct
gaunt raft
But I dont know who to make it like appear uninvisible
and the scripts to make it work to
broken onyx
question can u drive it
gaunt raft
No
broken onyx
do tyre marks show up
gaunt raft
it dont run
broken onyx
so this its a completely invisible hellcat that donest work
gaunt raft
Yes
broken onyx
hmm ok

what does the jbeam look like
gaunt raft
It dont show up

Like inside of the file
trim gulch
I've seen the outside already
broken onyx
can u even hear a engine noise
harsh coyote
since you've used an exporter
trim gulch
do you understand anything of it
gaunt raft
Nope my first time doing it
trim gulch
ok so that's not how to make a mod
harsh coyote
gaunt raft
Ok
harsh coyote
read all that
trim gulch
reading the wiki will steer you in the right direction
gaunt raft
Thank you guys i have asked in the past but nobody listen to my question
broken onyx
yo same thats a real problem in this server
trim gulch
from what I've seen most of the questions are too advanced coming from people who have a surface level of understanding
it's too time consuming to explain it all
broken onyx
have you made a mod b4
trim gulch
a few
harsh coyote
issue is
people who want to get into modding
go straight up to "imma make lambo"
or something along those lines
and after they find out it can take good few months of work, they give up
midnight nacelle
what is it
harsh coyote
generally vehicle is not a good start
prop, simple trailer or a vehicle part is a good way to start
broken onyx
speed the hamster
is was a idea i had like 3 months ago
basically a blue (controllable) cylinder that will pancake any car
but its sonic themed
i was wanted to make a battlebot
car sized
good idea or bad idea
broken onyx
thanks ?
keen cosmos
does anyone else think this is too long to be "realistic" or like its just too long to be usable in game
still cradle
Nah because some vehicles are too long for any trailer in beam
harsh coyote
as long as you make it use bigger wheels than the normal trailer than sure
6 lug hubs should do that trick
keen cosmos
It fits the barstow and the 200bx with like a foot gap to spare
harsh coyote
and beef up the suspension
keen cosmos
Yea for sure
I just think something like this is more for a gooseneck lol but ill give this a shot
still cradle
It's got 3 axels right?
keen cosmos
yea
flat crater
What do most people use to model stuff for beam?
prime dirge

keen cosmos

still cradle
Looks good, where can I get one irl
prime dirge
ur nearest Lada dealership
keen cosmos
WoM is where you can pick that up
still cradle
I'd happily travel a few thousand miles for one
broken onyx
how much better is beamng on a wheel vs a gamepad for immersion
like does drivng become more realitsic or enjoyable for immersion
still cradle
It is much better
broken onyx
for what immersion or realism
harsh coyote
both
broken onyx
also what wheel do u use
harsh coyote
G27, but this discussion should go to #tech-and-hardware
broken onyx
ok
ancient lagoon
@keen cosmos trailer length is fine but to have it made with that flimsy a construction is unrealistic
most are goosenecks made out of heavier materials or at least a lot thicker than that

It's cool looking at some of these mods, I'm planning on a track myself, though I don't have any idea how to get it ingame yet, I'm slowly working on it, it's slow going cause of me not knowing the best way to map large rocky areas without making insanely huge texture maps

So theres a new mp mod to compete with the other one should be interesting to see if how that goes 🤔

trim gulch
so you imply there is no competition but you don't have anything to back this claim up with
we have literally witnessed beammp going pretty free as a consequence
supple timber
On the contrary there is two mods doing similar thing thus competing for the same playerbase

@tender summit what part are you stuck on?

trim gulch
there is no specific guide for that, afaik
trim gulch
it might have a virus tho so probably won't
native zealot
give it a front diff
also give it driveshafts
for test debugging you could probably just set torque reaction node to some subframe node, before you make Node beam structure for the diff
cloud pike
it might have a virus tho so probably won't
you mean the kissmp one? dummiesman worked alongside that one i don't see why they'd even put a virus in
cloud pike
ohh oof, hopefully not some kinda adware or anything
supple timber
Think dummieman investigated when beammp was updated publicly and claimed it was safe. Though I can’t say for certain anyway so idk

his later work is so much better

Out of curiosity why do you want an awd gran marshal so much that you ask for it daily?
trim gulch
According to his post history he has trouble controlling it
tight ore
isn't it one of the easiest cars to control in the game
latent ivy
@tender summit the grand marshal is pretty easy to control
native zealot
literally the easiest RWD car ingame to drive
- slow steering
- decent overall steering lock angle
- low power
- long wheelbase making it harder to lose control
- wide making it more stable

select the faces you want to flip
and I believe shortcut to flip normals was ctrl+n
alt N
sorry
supple canopy
@harsh coyote tick the box?
harsh coyote
ah you're on the old blender
then just go to normals
and recalculate outside
should work decently
on that mesh

shift ctrl N

I believe you go to mesh>normals>recalculate outside

whats disturbing about it 😂
harsh coyote
did you try recalculating them on the outside?
latent ivy
I usually dont have issues with it
harsh coyote
like I showed you
supple canopy
Yeah it made it all the same but still inside out
latent ivy
bro what you're probably doing is selecting all and recalculating every single face
what im telling you to do is to only change those that arent showing up properly
supple canopy
like the see thru bits?
latent ivy
yes
supple canopy
ahh ok ill give it a go
latent ivy
you do notice how the top segments are showing normally
but the bottom isnt
or the underneath sections
those are probably flipped initially but when you recalculated all of them , they became inverted
polar cedar
in blender turn on face orientation, any red means it will show invisible in game
(2nd from the bottom)
supple canopy
im in the 2.79 version can i still do that?

i think so but im not sure where the setting is for 2.79

For matching when using the color picker idk

tldr a forum modder named Narwhal died of suicide a couple of years ago
unfortunate coincidence i hope

Most likely
vagrant folio

Does anyone know if there are mods for trailer cargo? Say oversized loads or heavy loads?
hushed cobalt
Have seen a silo trailer somewhere, no clue if it's a good mod though
prime dirge
the silo is a part of this mod if anyone is wondering https://www.beamng.com/resources/gavril-t-series-addon.178/

@fossil ore pls come back and release ur mods they r great work
slate swan
@green plume please stop begging for his mods and get over it
slate swan
because it’s not getting released because of people like you
green plume
?
slate swan
All you’re doing is making the chance lower that it actually does get released
get. Over. It.
green plume
i thought he already quit

@fossil ore pls come back and release ur mods they r great work
@green plume, my goodness, I’ve only been apart of this discord for a day and you’re already on my most hated list, you’re telling this JsZ dude to release his mods, because kids like you can’t get your grummy little hands on them, I found the Zephyr and Airbag mods interesting, but I won’t say to JsZ or any of the testers "plz relez"
And I do believe the community might have a chance to regain JsZ’s trust and he’ll release his mods, but people like you make it less and less likely, if you see people who actually know JsZ saying "don’t beg", then listen
fathom pulsar
Alright
midnight nacelle
it's just cause he won't understand lol
keen cosmos
just curious, how is it going to stay upright
devout solstice
i didn't add the kickstand yet
it'll kick back in once it reaches a certain speed
like all other motorcycle mods
since theres no actual way to stand it upright for too long
keen cosmos
no like when you control it, wont it just fall over on a turn?
devout solstice
only when the lean angle is too aggresive
keen cosmos
ah okay
devout solstice
its just like other motorcycle mods, same concept
keen cosmos
ive never seen a motor cycle mod in beam lol, i just didnt know how they would react in game and if they would behave like a real bike
fossil ore
the sportbike was quite complicated
it involved lua which used a moving hydro to constantly balance the weight
devout solstice
damn, then this is going to be one hell of a mod if it actually gets completed
fossil ore
well yeah
i dont recommend you attempt something so complicated for your first mod
i doubt i'd even be able to pull it off lol
devout solstice
then that's a waste of my model
fossil ore
i mean you could try
devout solstice
are there any advice or tips that I could use when creating the jbeam
keen cosmos
this might sound dumb but could you just make invisible "training wheels"? that would stop the bike from falling over
devout solstice
it has to lean
keen cosmos
ik
devout solstice
that's how a motorcycle turns. countersteering
devout solstice
I mean, if there are 2 decent motorcycle mods out there w/o training wheels, I'm pre sure I can do it too
not saying it's easy or anything, I know it's difficult af
fossil ore
its really difficult to have it balance
devout solstice
yes it's my first mod
keen cosmos
not to be mean but you may have bitten off more than you can chew
keen cosmos
maybe shelf it, and come back when your more experienced
devout solstice
but I'm so proud of it
keen cosmos
i would be too
doesnt mean you cant come back to it in a month or two if you really try to learn this stuff
devout solstice
I have school too, and sports, and someone to take care of, so it's pretty difficult to make time for more mods
keen cosmos
yea...maybe find someone who could help idk lol. make a forum post and pass the model off
keen cosmos
im not trying to be rude btw, i think you did a great job
devout solstice
since motorcycle mods are limited, and this is my first mod, where I don't necessarily know how it looks in beam itself, is it respectful if I took the jbeam and lua from another bike mod and test to see if the model looks good in game?
I'm not going to use the lua and jbeam files when it's published
it's going to be original
keen cosmos
well then you just made a meshslap with someone else's work lol some people enjoy them ig and others frown upon it
devout solstice
well it's not going to be a meshlap when I publish it
it's just for testing purposes
keen cosmos
your model + someone else's premade jbeam = meshslap
devout solstice
I understand that. but when I'm finished testing to see if the model works in game, I will remove the premade jbeam and try to make my own
keen cosmos
well then its, your model + tweaking someone else's premade jbeam = glorified meshslap
devout solstice
oml no I meant remove the premade jbeam entirely and start from scratch
keen cosmos
with your time constraint doing all this would take months tho
devout solstice
if it's worth it, I'll try it
keen cosmos
try it, but anyway you can try and use that other bikes jbeam and ect, to test your bike and seem how the model looks in game or whatever else
devout solstice
alright, but I don't want to get hate just because I wanted to test my first mod out
keen cosmos
nah, just dont advertise you made it all from scratch and maybe be clear its just for testing
keen cosmos
yes
devout solstice
oh god
heres what i have rn
I don't have any .dds texture files yet
ion know how to get them
and yes this is just a test
keen cosmos
did you change the jbeam or did you just put your dae in there
devout solstice
the dae file is just a collada export from blender
keen cosmos
yes but the parts inside have dae have to correspond to the flexbodies names in the jbeam
devout solstice
let me check rq
so im keeping Darren9's name there to be respectful to an extent, though I have to change the part where it says "GSXR_Vtwin_eng" and everything else with gxsr in it?
and for mesh names, do you mean the mesh names in blender
keen cosmos
i meant the flexbodies sorry
"flexbodies": [
["mesh", "[group]:","nonFlexMaterials"],
//Mesh name, group it belongs to
["my_mesh", ["my_group"]],
],
devout solstice
what the fawk
devout solstice
oh yes thank you so much
keen cosmos
np
devout solstice
all good man, thank you for your help though
devout solstice
So "myPart" can be any part of the bike such as the side fenders and "slotType": "main", is the entire vehicle itself where the multiple different parts of the bike come together to form it?
polar cedar
myPart is the name used by things like slots and .pc files etc
slotType is what slot it is under, main is the main slot aka the main part so that would be the chassis or frame otherwise it should be something like pessima_fender_L
devout solstice
So are these names the ones I made in blender?
such as these
oh shit wait, is this where the .dds files come in
polar cedar
no the names of the meshes in blender go in the flexbodies section
which isnt shown in the myPart example
devout solstice
Sorry for asking so many questions
drowsy frost
Asking questions is how you learn
You think modders didn't have to ask questions when making their mods?
midnight nacelle
no one would answer your questions if they didn't want to anyway
devout solstice
Alright then how do I get .dds texture files from my model
keen cosmos
that i dont know, im stuck there too 😦
midnight nacelle
jésus
devout solstice
This prolly isn't the way to do it, though I unwrapped a part of the bike and i compared this to a .dds image and they were similar, though there isn't a way to export this into a .dds texture file
devout solstice
ik that but the exporting is what i have trouble with
fossil ore
exporting the uv layout?
devout solstice
to .dds yes
fossil ore
well u can’t
you can export a map
then you have to create textures
using the uv layout as a guide
it saves as png i think
devout solstice
so i have to use a different program such as photoshop to add textures using the uv layout
fossil ore
yeah
devout solstice
alright thank you
devout solstice
thanks man
fossil ore
np
devout solstice
so
i linked the rim together into the uv map thing
and it came out like on the right side of the photo
My question is, do the maps have to look somewhat similar to the object itself or will they sometimes be horrendously out of shape
polar cedar
They should look organized and clean for making the textures
devout solstice
my second question is, this exported map has the edges on it, thats the correct way right
oh yes alright ill try to fix it
So I'm selecting only one brake disk rotor and i have already exported it
must i do the same for the other rotor on the other side of the wheel?
sonic tundra
So.. How would one go about getting the 3D Model of one of the Official beamng maps? Im wanting to add a few new buildings and such that i made from my home town into beam into a pre existing map

Gotta say tho was really happy with the performance for kissmp
wintry axle
exactly
cloud pike
and wondering if itll ever be possible to not have lag when others spawn in
like if that can be linked to their own game, for now it feels like it treats other players as AI
wintry axle
beammp literally was unusable for the first few months unless you paid them money
cloud pike
so i've heard
cloud pike
well safe to say competition is good
wintry axle
yessir
cloud pike
atm something like 3-4 players seems to work well, anything more does get some glitches but i mean, the data that needs to get transferred considering how beam works tho
raw dune
yeah beammp was garbage at first
like yah it was cool there were other people
but you had to pay to get the non laggy (ish) version
and even now its just meh but its still kinda cool they did the impossible and were the first to do it
cloud pike
indeed
runic osprey
and kissmp is sort of an improvement
keen cosmos
Ive been hosting a local server for me and my brother and its been amazing. with little latency its soo much fun. and yeah ^
not really sort of lol, a good bit
raw dune
Imma be busting out the ol g29 this weekend so imma give it a shot then
devout solstice
Good luck
onyx dirge
and wondering if itll ever be possible to not have lag when others spawn in
@cloud pike We've found out how to un-check the "Change parts automatically", but also have a draft implemented where cars >200m away won't apply changes / spawn

@onyx dirge so you should be nearby others to be able to change vehicle?

How can I make liveries for existing cars? I noticed that CrashManjaro uses a lot of liveries that aren't avalible in the game in his videos.
devout solstice
so this jbeam thing, for the slots, it reads from top to bottom right
so tham means the from suspension is going to load first and then work it's way down, and the front cluster is going to load last?
this isn't my jbeam js, I just wanted to understand how jbeaming works
yk the jbeam wiki thing
it says it loads in order
I'll try to find it
"the purpose of this system is to replicate the assembly of real vehicle components. a tire should not be loaded without loading the wheel first"
keen cosmos
so what are you lost about?
devout solstice
oh shit I just answered my own question
keen cosmos
dude i was lost
devout solstice
what
keen cosmos
Because yes, you did answer it
keen cosmos
i was confused on how you didnt understand it when you just explained it lol
devout solstice
bruh idfk I just want to make sure even though there's solid info about what It means
keen cosmos
are you using the up to date wiki
devout solstice
yep
keen cosmos
hmm
