Hey... anybody having texture issues with the pre-facelift Roamer mod our good friend waboll made? I don't know what mod causes it but my poor Roamer's front end seems to get mutilated with shading in wrong places on the hood and some red textures for the headlights.

nope, also having issues with that.
but well, it's 2 versions old so what do you expect

another message where i question if its satire or genuine
tired coyote
Mods go outdated because a game update broke the mod
harsh coyote
why do mods go outdated
its because to implement new features into the game, some code has to be changed
textures get updated and so on and so on
which means mods that use those features, textures, jbeam etc. have to be updated accordingly
latent ivy
this thing doesn't have an ai
mhm pretty bad mod tho
and it's made by zlodikan i guess

the quad?
Oh yep, il delete it then cause wont be getting updated. I thought he was original creator (cant keep track but do remember seeing it)
devout solstice
damn this is so sad lol
wait
no wait
now it changed to 128,671
thats not even terrible?
the sportsbike has 50k vertices
and its just like spawning 3 of them, less than that actually, so it won't really kill performance?
fossil ore
it wont affect performance
but it will significantly affect deformation quality
especially considering how few nodes a bike has
devout solstice
ah yes I understand. I thought it was the nodes and beams that affect the overall deformation quality?
fossil ore
well yeah but the mesh deforms according to the nodes/beams
if you have a super high poly mesh with a few nodes the deformation will start to do strange things
likewise with a super low poly mesh and high nodecount
devout solstice
well then fcked it up
fossil ore
altho 120k isnt terrible its not ideal
devout solstice
cause its difficult to fix it considering the amount of verts
ig i can say its for pictures
and for riding
fossil ore
up to you
devout solstice
thank you though
wait the radiator mesh also has to be separate right, and does the radiator mesh match a jbeam file or a lua file in order for it to act like a radiator?
harsh coyote
radiator doesn't need to be separate unless you want it to be able to move or fall off independently off the chassis
as far as properties are concerned its all jbeam side
devout solstice
ok now actually why am i happy that i made this junk
it finally spawned after 2 months of trying
thank you torror again

where i can find the Jbeam code related to the dashboard of a car
tired coyote
In the game files, if you have steam it's in: C:Programs/Steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/content/vehicles.
There you can find the vehicle zips, and in those files should be their dashboard jbeams.

anyone know why, i loaded the template map and opened the editor. The terrain tool makes the editor crash every time I try to even select it. Doesn't happen in other maps. I'm just trying to start a new map, new terrain, copying an imported dae object (lidar data)

I can't fine the .jbeam related to the civetta bolide dashboard

The oil gauge is probably meant as oil pressure
And there's no built in feature in-game to do oil pressure.

but, the oil pressure is not simulate in the game, maybe an upcoming feature planed when they dev the bolide
and then they don't implement it, so the gauge is useless

that's for the oil temperature i think

Really nice, indeed! Did you take note with the dimensions of each side of the car? Or how the car looks like when it's stripped off?
When I was in the middle of modelling my car, I was like "oh yea, how would the car looks like without the bumper?" :p
Yea, I've taken that into consideration. I've based it off of a McLaren P1, and I've tried to keep the body somewhat similar so the chassis should still work. At least I hope so qwq
If not, adjusting the chassis shouldn't be too difficult
Most of it is a Uni-body

since you seem to be going decent with the modelling, the only other major thing is jbeam editing. i suggest you take a look at the jbeam debugs ingame, (ctrl n, ctrl b, ctrl t, and such)and have a look at some vanilla jbeam files and see if you can figure it out, it's reasonably straightforward
latent ivy
You really donβt need to be advance to make a mod
Of course doing something from scratch would take some skill but doing editing is pretty easy
devout solstice
Who's he talking about

even simple mods like the faceswaps i did dont require much skill tbh
all you really need to know is basic jbeam and modeling knowlege

and PCH is a straight coastal road of 20km.... π
wise pumice
Further you go from point 0, the messier it gets afaik
Yes, I remember the case of somebody driving a K-Series on SSRB and reporting jittery panels and odd readings on their measurement systems. Iirc, it's due to the fact that the current engine is limited to too few decimal places to make accurate calculations that far away from the spawn.
hushed cobalt
Huh
rocky heart
Can a vehicle that is a mod access all of BeamNGs default 5 lug wheels?
Or would those files need to be put into the mod.
tired coyote
If the mod has an intact 5-lug wheel slot, then yes.
rocky heart
Ahh, alright. This car only has 3 wheel options, but I want it to be able to use the 5 lug wheels.

I got a Tesl Model 3 mod that I've almost finished.... There are currently no good Tesla Mods for BeamNG.
to release it, or to not release it?
that is the question
tame crown
up to you dude

It looks totally sick when you let the AI drive for you
looks like there's really an autopilot system

Aight I'll have to do it later after drive now work
tepid sinew
can somone tell me where to find that mod
I could'nt find it since the links I found didn't work
latent ivy
What mod?
signal sorrel
Judging by the blacked out windows it's most likely an Automation model

Someone know a good awd civetta bolide mod ?
woven grove
Anyone know of any good RHD vehicles apart from the AE86?
One thing BeamNG lacks is RHD vehicles.
I would love to see a RHD version of the Dansworth D2500 and DT40L
wise pumice
I believe there's RHD mods out there for (at the very least) the Ibishu Miramar and '96 Pessima, if you're looking for vanilla RHD vehicles.
latent ivy
What's RHD?
wise pumice
Just making sure.
woven grove
Yes. Reason I'm asking is because I'm British and RHD is the standard in the UK.
wise pumice
Oh, I could... only find a RHD Covet...
Hm. I'll keep looking.
RHD Pessima (kind of) here:
https://www.beamng.com/resources/arz-200.14432/
This is RHD, too.

I'm personally not a big fan of spoilers, so I'm planning on putting one on this car, but hidden under the body work, just outside the rear, do you think this'll look okay?
wise pumice
Yeah, that looks fantastic! Do you plan on making it adaptive, similar to the SBR's?
latent ivy
Yeah, that looks fantastic! Do you plan on making it adaptive, similar to the SB...
Yea, it's hopefully going to be like that, the only problem though, because the spoiler is there, I need to figure out another way to make an air brake
wise pumice
I see your rear quarter panels are curved in... Maybe make the parts that curve in separate from the quarter panels and have those come out on either side when air brakes are applied?
latent ivy
Well, I had an idea to use the over hand and have two flaps that pop up when you brake (like on a NASCAR)
Though, that's a good idea too
One thing is for sure though, I can't wait to start modeling this car
wise pumice
I can only imagine. I can't even design decent cars, anymore... π₯²
latent ivy
I can only imagine. I can't even design decent cars, anymore... π₯²
Well, I didn't start from scratch... I based mine off of a McLaren P1
Then just modified it in ways to make it my own
Since I'm only just starting out with designing cars
Oh by the way, should I put a V8 or a V10 in this car?
frozen bridge
v10
wise pumice
V10, absolutely.
And it's still very, very impressive.
frozen bridge
twin turbo π
latent ivy
Something you'd see on a Bugatti or something
The rear spoiler was inspired by the Chiron's design, but I'm not sure if it was functional on the Chiron
I think its may be
frozen bridge
i think it is functional
latent ivy
Yeah
For sure
It has a DLS spoiler, but the spoiler on the car I'm designing was inspired by its tail lights
frozen bridge
ahh i see
would be cool to have a spolier on it like it does on the SBR
not something ive seen in many beam cars
latent ivy
would be cool to have a spolier on it like it does on the SBR
Yea, only mine is going to be slightly tucked under the body work
So who knows how it'll look XD
frozen bridge
maybe it will have to do a weird like
move backwards then up
tucks out of the body backwards then goes up
if you get me
latent ivy
Yea, but that might be a little too complex
frozen bridge
true
latent ivy
, and the point of it being there is to be hidden at all times
So if it pops out it may as well work like the SBR4
keen cosmos
When that mod is out what will it be called, it looks nice.
if it ever gets finished, its just gonna be called a triple axle trailer
latent ivy
Oh that reminds me, this car needs a name
Hmm
It needs a sick name
Do you have a company name
Well, I've decided that it's going to be a Civetta (if it's okay to do that)
Ooh
Modern civetta?
Is it a 2020 model?
Or 20201
So probably a an Italian name
Lord
2021
Whatever year it is
Probably 2021, or 2022, this car is going to take a long time to do
Hmm
I'll get back to you in a bit
Conrex?
And ill have a few ideas ready
Okie, kewl UwU
I'll do the same!
At least the body designing part is almost done though!
I think I'm going to have fun designing the suspension though, I'm going to use some Push rod suspension set-up from an F1 car that wraps around under the front fenders

I'll post a picture of the whole car, one sec (some of the curves don't look correct because it's not quite done yet
Okok
Holy crap
are you going to release it when you are done
Well yea XD
Actually no, I'mma keep it for myself ΓwΓ
If you need help with modeling or anything I gotchu
Well I definitely won't be able to do it on my own XD
I'll keep you in mind once it comes to modeling (if you're certain you wanna help UwU)
Sure
A problem I'm probably going to have though, is partitioning the car
I have an idea on how I'm going to do it, but ehh
What do you mean by partitioning
latent ivy
Separating the body into body panels
So like doors, bonnet, boot lid stuff like that
Ohh
latent ivy
This back end is killing me, but at least it's coming along (any thoughts?)
Just checked, I spent half an hour doing that
tidal marsh
Is there a mod that lets you swap any engine into any car?

You can swap the '96 Pessima's engines into the Miramar but that's about it.
tidal marsh
That...
isn't really what i asked...
latent ivy
So I just learned that beam hates mod folders with numbers... cool
I wish it tells me that earlier. Maybe that's why it keeps crashing despite everything is spelled correctly
rocky heart
So, if I got an object added to beam. How do I get a texture put onto it. Its just orange Lol
latent ivy
You need to make a new file, material.cs
And the only way to reload the texture is to close the game and open it again.
I learn that the hard way lol
rocky heart
Ohh. I see
latent ivy
I don't know how to connect two jbeam models into one. :/
Like using slots and .pc files and stuff

Hmmm wanted to add a driver camera to my automation created car.
Managed to add an interior to the car and make windows transparent.
tame crown
oof i don't know how, though it may include editing the file
fallen elbow
So I think it could be nice.
Thing is, I found what to change, but not HOW to change it.
I know that cameras use nodes, and such.
tame crown
the best you can do is just press 4 or 5 (not numberpad btw) to go into relative cam, increase fov and move to the driver view
fallen elbow
But I don't know exactly how those camera nodes might work.
tame crown
me neither
fallen elbow
F-22 I am actually quite much more interested into understanding how the driver camera works.
So that I can make some quality mods.
tame crown
me too actually
if I were you I would take a look at nearly every single file in your Automation car and find one relating to camera stuff
fallen elbow
I found the camera related stuff file.
And where I am supposed to change that.
Problem is that I don't understand exactly how that node thing works.

Nah I just wondered I'm bored as heck
I really wanna make a my first mod but idk what programs I need
I have Blender
I heard of this program called Jbeam
Is that a modding Program?
I just need to know that's all
Nvm
latent ivy
I completely confused as hell oof
tame crown
idk how to describe jbeam
polar quarry
Blender is a 3D modeling program, so start there... large learning curve though
Getting ahead of yourself there
fossil ore
thats very ambitious for a first project
especially since you havent made any other mods prior
smoky jolt
if i understand correctly jbeam is the skeleton upon which the game relies upon to deform the vehicle or object
fossil ore
bruh
fossil ore
ok well
if you dont even know how to import a photo into blender
then i highly doubt youd be able to model anything
smoky jolt
first watch some tutorials on blender and then start thinking about making mods
latent ivy
Well do you expect from a beginner
fossil ore
once you get the hang of it then start putting them in game
latent ivy
What*

Is low settings best or very low
Can somebody send me a link to a Mazda miata mod I really want one in the game
fossil ore
i doubt youd be able to even run very low without lagging
fallen elbow
So... no one can explain me then how cameras work in the jbeam file?
random coral
Is 1050 good
1050 Ti could run BeamNG in low graphics I guess, specially in 4GB edition, idk about normal 1050 but maybe in very low

At what fps.i got geforce gtx1060 6gb n can run 1080p on high at like 50fps. On 4k 3890 its like 20-30fps
latent ivy
I don't remember
It was using a 4k monitor with it and it was playable at high even with west coast
but I was also limited to the cpu cause I has a optiplex build but none the less the 1050 is capable of running beam with decent settings
fallen zenith
My dirt cheap RX460 2gb runs at 1080p 60fps on medium so I would assume the 1050ti could at least do high
north light
i have a freind with a 1050ti, he gets about 90 at 1080p high, but it all depends on your pc, software in the background, windows 10 magic

If you lift the car in the air with the node grabber and floor it what does it do?
I'm wondering if one axle might be going the wrong way?
latent ivy
Say I was still using an old Bulldozer chip
But I also had an RX 480 8 GB
Letβs say the chip is an old and tired FX-8350
How would it run?
cloud pike
Perhaps not too bad. The rx480 is just fine for beam, the processor is a little old but should also run fine, maybe some stutters because of the speed?
Anyway if you have any more questions based on that use #game-discussion

well if you have a heck of a gpu or cpu get a raytrasing mod
itll make the game look better
also better shading

wise pumice
I was wondering, actually, how can we get Ray Tracing and how does it work?
foggy geyser
well raytracing is something like this
its where light will bend off surfaceses by its self and keep going intill it loses power or just donsent bounce off anymore
normal games dont have that and well with raytracing everything looks better and more relistic
its really GPU heavy and well yeah

if you want to do it the easy way, just jbeam 2 boxes, connect to the covet roof and set up a few thrusters
foggy geyser
well radeon would support it
its not meant for it but if its high end it should be able to handle it fine
sonic quartz
I would not recommend raytracing without a 6000 series, or RTX and a proper GPU implementation of the raytracing. Otherwise, you're in for a laggy time.
foggy geyser
yes
cloud pike
if you want to do it the easy way, just jbeam 2 boxes, connect to the covet roof...
tbh I think it was thrusters anyway, the jets were more for show
Nowadays the JATO on every car mod would do the same thing this did
