[latent ivy]

what are the best sites for modding?

[dusk tiger]

Only get mods off of the official BeamNG page: https://www.beamng.com/resources/ don't go to dodgy russian websites for a mod, it'll either be a virus or just not that good. Also, those dodgy sites reupload mods and give no credit to the original creators.

[latent ivy]

thanks

[clever solar]

Yeah I get that but it's either early or late regardless of where you are lol. It would be midnight on the west coast, 10am in Germany.

[dusk tiger]

Good point. I was being a bit of an idiot

[clever solar]

Nah not really. Probably just frustrated with your exhaust issue. I've been there

[fallen star]

is there any mod that makes covet RWD?

[hardy jackal]

does antbody know how to bake a model so I can apply a texture to it in beam

[tired coyote]

https://beamng.com/resources/13919/

[fallen star]

LOL drifting with covet XD this mod is amazing thanks

[drowsy frost]

I hate to break it to you but just because someone starts a project and cancels it it's usually for a good reason. They could have shit going on in the real world or might just never get time to work on it.

[latent ivy]

@fallen star

[fallen star]

@latent ivy

[stiff furnace]

Does anyone knows how to prevent theses kind of tire marks while still having the possibility to dynamically have tire marks on top ?

I've already tried various decalType without success

[subtle vortex]

how did you find it

[tranquil granite]

it was an internet site that offered it, but i don't remember its name

[subtle vortex]

aw ok

[tiny gulch]

Looking for somone to help me make a nascar mod or out right commission to do so

[half egret]

Yo Guys I got the RTGI raytracing and it looks nothing like the videos

there's literally no difference if i turn it on or off

[buoyant dragon]

then you didnt do it right

[half egret]

How tf am I supposed to do it then

[buoyant dragon]

watch a tutorial

[half egret]

I did

[buoyant dragon]

which one

[half egret]

oh yeah turns out that uh

yeah it looks like that for other ppl as well

lmfao it looks different for everybody

I'm probably supposed to use it with like 9 other graphics mods

[buoyant dragon]

yeah theyre different presets

[latent ivy]

[buoyant dragon]

not sure maybe the mod is broken

its just came out

[past widget]

hm

[tight crater]

good train mod?

[tight crater]

e

[cloud pike]

theres some but here's the recent one https://beamng.com/resources/tЭm2-locomotive.16706/
you'll need to find the maps with tracks in the mods section on the site

[supple timber]

still confuses me how that got on the repo with the name but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent ivy]

because its russian bias

[tired coyote]

Did you check the muffler slot (frame) and the exhaust slot (engine)?

[past widget]

i did

[tired coyote]

It's packed incorrectly

[past widget]

how do i fix that

[tired coyote]

Unpack the zip using the in-game mod manager (click on mod and then unpack), move the vehicles folder into the main folder (so that its bed_stacks/vehicles) and repack it.

[past widget]

uhh

ok

[shadow gorge]

Well I am very late but I got the mod from a sketchy ass russian website and it worked fine

[split skiff]

oops

Hi is there a rope mod i know of old rope but cant get to the download page i get error when i try to get it off the offical beam.ng website

https://www.beamng.com/resources/old-rope.2657/

[lofty monolith]

anyone here have experience using GIS to create levels?

[winged prairie]

jbem

I don't know what i tried doing here i just made some basic structure

[devout solstice]

wow

[harsh coyote]

So,

I'm having a bit of issue finding good place to put those

that is the Brake can and Brake rods for a Low Floor dually tag axle for an articulated bus

modern ZF's axles have them on top like here

however they're also using disc brakes which allows them to do that

I'm stuck with drums

and for obvious reasons that arrangement won't work with drum brakes ]

that is without overly complicated linkage system

[warm sentinel]

@rotund skiff any update on the 4Runner

[vast atlas]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/improved-siren-mod.16811/
Interesting

[cloud pike]

Have you tried it? I was wondering if it's used by the AI police at all

[rotund skiff]

yes

airbags

[fossil sierra]

hey, i dont remember who made this mod but they made a mod for Emergency Vehicles with a siran box ui, if its posible please make a postle map for the ingame map

[echo timber]

How do I add the late model stock car

I have the compressed file on my desktop where to i place it

[echo timber]

Nvm I just put the normal file in content then vehicles

[buoyant dragon]

you should put it in mods instead

[echo timber]

There's a mods folder?

I'm not using a cracked version

Do I make a mods folder?

And if so where do I put it

Halp pls

Nvm its in documents

I'm dumb

[drowsy frost]

If you first got the game it's fine, if you've had it for a while it's safe you are dumb

[signal surge]

How do I start to create my own map?

[latent ivy]

anyone wanna guess what car im making in automation?

Hint: L---------i

[stuck olive]

why do people make private mods

[cloud pike]

They're either WIP and will be released at a later date and are being tested by a close trusted group, the quality isn't good enough to be released, they are using copyrighted mesh, or it's simply an artist that made a mod for themselves to enjoy

[stuck olive]

ok

[jade plover]

dang

[latent ivy]

what are some mods i should install?

[buoyant dragon]

look in repo and sort by best reviews and most downloads

[latent ivy]

ok

thanks!

[delicate quail]

Best Goggle street view car yet.

Fast af.

At least 300kmh.

[cloud pike]

"Hey it's time to update street view aga- " "done."

[sweet jetty]

lol

wow

[delicate quail]

Without nitro.

[fervent crystal]

can i have the google mod

i mean

is there a non tuned version

[delicate quail]

There is lol. I just put the innocent customs vivace mod on that to make it le fast.

https://www.beamng.com/resources/vivace-street-view-maps-skins-pack-街景地图包.16604/

https://www.beamng.com/resources/innocent-customs-quad-turbo-vivace-tograc.14165/

That lower one is the tuning mod for the vivace/tograc.

This is even more hilarious.

[astral sapphire]

Is there a good way to make a mod with free software?

[robust sage]

Gimp, Notepad++ and blender, alongside a whole lot of commitment will get you far

[timber sail]

Found atv_123’s google drive with the brutus in it: Told Slitthy about it and got removed from drive

[high barn]

how long does it take to make the average BeamNG mod

[robust sage]

depends on who you ask and how good you are at it, the quality you are shooting for, etc

We've seen people churning out mods on almost a biweekly basis, others that have been for literal years in the works

(And that is ignoring the mesh slap stuff that is out there)

[past widget]

any one have the link to the gavril gladiator?

[daring kite]

Can't you search it?

[buoyant dragon]

i think it was taken off the forums

[drowsy frost]

UK Emergency Skin Pack.

[drowsy frost]

It was.

[fallow sequoia]

https://imgur.com/V397h1O slowly coming together

[drowsy frost]

Mods would be better for this

[timber sail]

Never made one

[celest veldt]

i got car with airbags!

[hushed cobalt]

Press X to doubt

[latent ivy]

months

[spice rain]

Could a modder try to make a mod to open car doors normally?

[latent ivy]

By pressing a key?

[tardy onyx]

Hmm I don't know, it would be so complicated, I mean that means making an animation with real nodes moving.

[tired coyote]

I think someone actually did, however that mod is very old and outdated by now.
Still, have a link: https://beamng.com/threads/32910/

[devout solstice]

literally beam Devs have made that happen

the H series is capable of opening its cargo doors

[deep summit]

how do skyboxes work?

looks like you gotta make a material for it or something

[drowsy frost]

I think they meant like the hood and doors open as well.

Instead of using node grabber.

[devout solstice]

The cargo doors can be opened by a key not the grabber

[drowsy frost]

I know

But not the other hinges.

[lucid tulip]

does anyone make a rv like in this one from top gear

link pls

[buoyant dragon]

no but i dont think it would be super hard to make, its just a box on the back of a car, could modify a pessima or something

[lucid tulip]

aww but thanks anyways i dont have the skill to do so

[timber sail]

Where

[tough tendon]

We need a full trailer mod. I’m always depressed by the lack of trailers for pickup trucks. I had one but the creator stopped updating it and it broke with game updates.

[ocean bronze]

Does anybody know any good mods?

[buoyant dragon]

look in the repo and sort by best rating

[sonic quartz]

That might get you outdated mods that break the game though

There's several that caused my game a massive memory leak

[buoyant dragon]

not in the repo

[sonic quartz]

yes in the repo

[buoyant dragon]

since when?

normally all the mods marked as outdated in the forums arent in the repo

[sonic quartz]

Not all outdated mods are marked

[buoyant rapids]

what happened to the bolide evolution?

[buoyant dragon]

?

[buoyant rapids]

this thing

[buoyant dragon]

probably outdated

[buoyant rapids]

i checked the website, its not there

[buoyant dragon]

yeah mods get removed if they dont get updated for a long time

[tired coyote]

The author got banned sadly

[sweet jetty]

Looks nice in my opinion

[latent ivy]

Give me a link plz

[scarlet stone]

how do i get mods to work in beammp server?

[latent ivy]

I found it too

It looks like this lol

Airbagz

[mighty basin]

bruhe

[obtuse coral]

airbag!

[rough tusk]

i like how the plate says its private so people (specifically people with the IQ of a cabbage) dont go
deep inhale

OH MY GAAWD IS THAT A FERRARI AVENTADOR ZR1 1LE I NEED IT OH MY GOOOOOOOOD YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS ITS AMAZING

[latent ivy]

This is the ibishu zephyr

[vague dawn]

are there any good trusted websites to download beamng mods from or should i only download mods from the beamng website

[latent ivy]

You should only use the official website

The mods on the other websites are or stolen from the official website or are low quality models slapped o official cars without editing nodes etc.

[vague dawn]

👍

what about maps though?

[tired coyote]

...still beamng.com? There's literally a map section in the repository and on the website

[vague dawn]

of course, but theres a ton of famous maps that arent on there, and maps probably cant be made as easily as putting a skin of a lambo on a bolide

[tired coyote]

You could check the forum level section aswell

Could you give an example of a map that's not on the repo?

[vague dawn]

an obvious example is the Nordschleife

thatd be awesome to have in beamng and there are multiple maps available that i dont think you can get from the beamng website

nordschleife maps*

[tired coyote]

I don't even think you can download that anywhere else than from a server

[vague dawn]

exactly

which is unfortunate

[tired coyote]

Then just go on the server and copy the map. Your BeamMP/KissMP client will have to download the map somewhere and you can just copy it into your userfolder from there.
For BeamMP it should be in AppData/Locals
For KissMP it should be saved in your userfolder in kissmpmods

[vague dawn]

are there any with that map currently?

[tired coyote]

If you've played on a server that has the map before, it'll still be saved somewhere for future use

[vague dawn]

i havent

[tired coyote]

Thats unfortunate then

[pastel snow]

Is it possible to get a 1962 Corvette in game

[rough tusk]

i dont think you can get that corvette but there is the Gavril Vendetta mod

its more like a 1968 though

[pastel snow]

yeah i noticed it doesnt look as good as the 60-62

its just a nice looking car

is it hard to make one

[rough tusk]

modding in beamng takes alot of effort and work

(im not a modder personally, i know a few tho)

might take a few months for a good quality one

[pastel snow]

just curious never made a mod before

but that car would be worth it

[rough tusk]

most mods take months to years to make

[atomic belfry]

!SOMEONE MAKE A LADYBUG SKIN FOR THE PICCOLINA!

[tame crown]

no

[drowsy frost]

!MAKE IT YOURSELF!

[tired coyote]

!NO!
seriously it's not that hard

[atomic belfry]

I dunno how to

[tired coyote]

https://wiki.beamng.com/Skin_Creation_Megapage

[potent edge]

I'm after a good place get car mods for this game please help me :(

[buoyant dragon]

The forums or the in game repo

[potent edge]

Arr I wanna try avoid the game repo because they don't really work

[buoyant dragon]

They should all work, they're verified

[potent edge]

Like as in the maps are good

But the cars its not really ligit

[buoyant dragon]

Sort by best reviews then

Most of the stuff in the repo is pretty good

And anyways you shouldn't be downloading mods from anywhere but the repo or forums, with very few exceptions

[sonic quartz]

and those few exceptions are when a modder has their own website that they distribute their mods on. Otherwise, don't.

[drowsy frost]

Google drive you still need to be careful of

[latent ivy]

Hey so this isn’t exactly about mods but is there a way I can edit the cars I made in automation like to increase the max rpm or hp? And be able to drive it in beam?

[buoyant dragon]

edit them in automation

[latent ivy]

I mean past what u can do in automation

[buoyant dragon]

how much rpm and hp are we talking

[latent ivy]

I gave hp as a example

Rpm 15l

15k*

I was trying to create a f1 engine but was bummed out when I realized the max is 12k

I have another question but I’ll ask it separately in mod help

[buoyant dragon]

yes you can but you would also need to increase the engine strength

[latent ivy]

Ah

It was setup exactly like a current gen f1 engine

[buoyant dragon]

https://youtu.be/XIpXGwg6wC4

tutorial

[latent ivy]

Ok thank

Thanks*

Wait I had tried editing that file before and re-saving it and re zipping it but it wouldn’t show up in beam ng

Or would it show up in automation?

[buoyant dragon]

it should show up in beamng, that's beamng file structure

if you follow the tutorial it should work

[latent ivy]

Lemme try ok I’ll be back

[buoyant dragon]

i could help with that other question too if you need

[latent ivy]

ok

omg it did work i just didnt noitice

[latent ivy]

@buoyant dragon i changed it to a sequential gearbox in automation exported it and everything it says in the files it’s a sequential gearbox but when i actually drive it in beam it is still a automatic,

[buoyant dragon]

press q

[latent ivy]

no i mean like the actual automatic gear box

park reverse drive sport manual

[buoyant dragon]

oh im not sure i think thats just what the automation sequential is

[latent ivy]

oooh

k then when i use it tomorrow i’ll switch it to manual

[buoyant dragon]

yeah because they have to be generalized

if you really want to you could modify them

[ripe loom]

Anyone can teach me mods

If so pls pm me

[grand lance]

sure

i can teach u after school

[buoyant dragon]

It's not what I would call super easy

[subtle crow]

Do any of you know a good race track with AI?

[latent ivy]

There’s a map mod on BeamNG.com but I don’t hone what it’s called.

[mighty basin]

Just check the repo there are a lot of maps

[subtle crow]

Yes but i cant find much racetracks, most of the good ones either:
are outdated
have no AI
are canceled

so they cant be used

[mighty basin]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/lakeside-park-raceway.10895/
https://www.beamng.com/resources/trial-mountain.285/
https://www.beamng.com/resources/road-atlanta-lidar-edition.3146/

Here are some good ones

[subtle crow]

[gritty osprey]

i know ive tried bledner but i cant import car : /

[fallow sequoia]

[gritty osprey]

sry not good with files lol

[ocean flower]

DAE files content all the 3d modelling data

[gritty osprey]

it wont let me open it tho?

[ocean flower]

You need to import them

Not open

[gritty osprey]

when in beam.ng folder what do you hit?

[ocean flower]

Search the .zip of the car you want

and import the .dae file

[gritty osprey]

this is wat it says when i hit import Parsing errors in Document (see Blender Console)

[ocean flower]

What you're trying to import?

Show me

[gritty osprey]

can u test my server for me idk if its online it called OVERKILL RACING

[ocean flower]

Umm server?

[gritty osprey]

[ocean flower]

No

Why did you change from one topic to other that quick lmao

[fallow sequoia]

[latent ivy]

Stop asking people

[night narwhal]

WIP

[latent ivy]

WIP - Ibishu gtz

[pale sleet]

i want to make a fairly simple car part mod (ive never modded) what should i make

[ocean flower]

So you could say you're a beginner at modding right

Start with something simple and small , modelling isn't easy

Less for somebody who just start

[pale sleet]

right

i just dont know what i wanna try and make

[hushed cobalt]

Additional parts for an already existing vehicle

[ocean flower]

Engines for example

[pale sleet]

yeah

i think imma start with a wheelie bar for the dseries

just somthing real simple

[hushed cobalt]

Seems like a good idea to me

[ocean flower]

Yeah , isn't that bad

You should make node and beams work too

[pale sleet]

yeah thats honestly what im worried about but ill figure it out eventually

[ocean flower]

Is kinda hard

[novel rapids]

do you guys think the T-Series needed a Soundswap?

[buoyant dragon]

no

[novel rapids]

:c

because i made one

[buoyant dragon]

ok what is the sound based on?

[novel rapids]

K700 Kirovets

[buoyant dragon]

oh ive seen that before

in mudrunner

[novel rapids]

yes

i hope they dont mind me yoinking it with credits to them

i already uploaded the mod to beamng.com

[sacred lake]

hi

can one show me a link to an saudi arabic number plate ?

[buoyant dragon]

cant you look it up?

[lucid tulip]

exuse me but oh my fricking god i love blender

[novel rapids]

now download embergen

[sweet jetty]

wow

[tiny roost]

Try RSwats Rallycross

[subtle crow]

I have it and I’ll try

[sacred lake]

was not able to find it

that is why im asking

[tired coyote]

https://beamng.com/resources/11725/

[fathom pivot]

Does anyone have like a Tahoe or a realistic car mod?

[tiny roost]

are there any fun mods

[tired coyote]

Gavril Vertex

[tiny roost]

you mean gravril

gavril

ok thx

[tired coyote]

Yeah, autocorrect lol

[tiny roost]

it looks cool

so many configurations

i'll download it, thank you!!

[sterile compass]

Oldsfullsize

[buoyant rapids]

Is the gavril vertex lite back into existence yet?

[sacred lake]

thank you

[wise pumice]

Hey, does anybody know what mod could be causing my ETK I Series's default texture to show up as "No Texture"? When I put on the chrome trim skin, it looks just fine.

[latent ivy]

Did you try to do smth in the original content files?

[placid sinew]

imagine if it was actually easy to put mods in game

[wise pumice]

Nah, I just download mods off the forum.

[wise pumice]

It is. Troubleshooting can be a bitch, though.

[placid sinew]

I cant figure it out for the life of me

but I am pretty bad at following instructions, so prolly me

[wise pumice]

Hold on a sec.

That's all you need to do.

[placid sinew]

oh my bad, I meant models. I didnt realize my typo

like putting my car models in game

[wise pumice]

Oh, you can probably unzip a .zip file of another car mod, learn what you need to put into your own .zip, then set up your car model .zip similar to the car mod's, if not the exact same.

[ocean flower]

In short words , making a mod

Well nothing is easy at beamng modding

Importing your own bodies isn't that hard anyway

[tame crown]

importing bodies doesnt seem super hard

the worst thing about modding is jbeam

legit it can be a pain in the ass

[ocean flower]

Agree

[warped hatch]

What can I do to make my graphics more realistic

[ocean flower]

Shaders

[warped hatch]

Gotta link to one just got a new processor and graphics card and want to use them

[rocky heart]

Got the Trash upfit from GTA V 😂

[stoic idol]

PLEASE tell me how you got this! I've been trying to get an old garbage truck mod to work for ages but I couldn't figure it out. I NEED to know where you got this/how you did this!

[rocky heart]

I'm working on it.

[stoic idol]

it's cool if not, but could you send it to me. I'm really desperate for a garbage truck mod.

[rocky heart]

I JUST got it to show up in game. xD Still need to do a lot with the jbeam and lights.

[stoic idol]

how finished is it though. is it barley functional or not

[rocky heart]

Well, it doesnt do anything. Doesnt open or close.

Just going to be a static back with working lights.

[stoic idol]

does it move? I just need it for the aesthetic not for it to be functional

[rocky heart]

The truck moves, yes.

[latent ivy]

Idk then

[stoic idol]

like I say, its cool if not but could you send it to me, I dont really mind if it isn't finished I just need it as a prop more than anything

it just seems like too perfect of an opportunity. lol. I've spent all day trying to get a garbage truck mod to work and then I see that you have. lol

[rocky heart]

That's weird. 😂 I have no idea why I decided to do this, but I figured I'd be the only one to enjoy it. If I end up not doing anything with it, I'll send you what I have done.

[stoic idol]

thanks!

[rocky heart]

Welcome ^^

[stoic idol]

how are you gonna send it? like Google drive or something

¿

[rocky heart]

I could try google drive. But I can't atm.

[stoic idol]

oh ok, just DM me with the link when you can

[rocky heart]

Can I PM you just so I dont forget you? 😂

[stoic idol]

yes

[timber sail]

HOW

[sleek kettle]

Is it a bad idea to port the Caterpillar C7 engine from the Freightliner fs65 mod into the T series

[timber sail]

Uhh

Add an aircraft engine and add propeller to the t series

[sleek kettle]

I make videos on Diesel engines for BeamNG

Thought it would be a good idea

[crystal scarab]

fuckin send it

[sleek kettle]

Gonna try and use blender and put it in the t series

Apprently the C7 was in some semi trucks

[crystal scarab]

Let me know how that ends up

[sleek kettle]

Gonna have to use blender and get familiar with it

[crystal scarab]

Alright

[sterile compass]

Something nice to see in BeamNG would be an 80's econobox with a late group B rally configuration.

With all the ridiculous aero and massive power

If I had the talent to, I'd make it myself but I'm only decent at making in-game configs so xd

[rugged garden]

I’ve seen people play multiplayer how do I do that?

[rocky heart]

Beam-MP

Googling that should have their website as the first result.

[rugged garden]

Ok

Is there like public server or are the all private?

[rocky heart]

Tons of public servers.

[rugged garden]

Ok

Thx

[rocky heart]

Welc!

[sleek kettle]

Bruh I wish someone made a 1970s American Cabover mod

Like a Kenworth k100

Or a White Freightliner Cabover

[rocky heart]

Would be cool!!!

[sleek kettle]

Some guy made a Kenworth k100 mod but it’s private sadly

[buoyant rapids]

Big bet its a t series with minimal changes

If any

[timber sail]

Nah

Its a pigeon

[rocky heart]

Kinda has working lights now. xD All I can do is add the flares. Dont know how to make them look like glass and be breakable.🤷‍♀️

[latent ivy]

anyone know how to make engines for beamng

pls help

There any mods what adds this to some cars. I do remember the 200BX having a mod what adds that but I cant find it anymore.

For my fans of the 17 raptor mod I'm making I've stopped for now because it's issues are beyond me and it needs someone more skilled than me to fix them. Anyone willing to help?

[devout solstice]

sure

[devout solstice]

tell me exactly the problem

and tell me how many jbeam files you have

[pearl night]

I have the engine jbeam and the jbeam for the model itself, the problem isbit don't appear in the vehicle selector even after fixing errors

[devout solstice]

make sure you have your dae file in your mod folder

and make sure the blender mesh name is the same as the name in flexbodies

[pearl night]

Uhhhh ok

[shy magnet]

In general

[long wasp]

umm, should i make low poly car mods for beamng lol

[ocean flower]

No

There is enough of them

[latent ivy]

WOW

Hi guys.

hi

Does anyone here make mods?

Mods****

[latent ivy]

is this gonna be realesed?

[ocean flower]

A lot of people

[latent ivy]

yes

Is it possible for someone to assist me?

I need a special car for a upcoming video.

[ocean flower]

Ehh wym?

[latent ivy]

And I want it to be a certain car...

[ocean flower]

You're asking for somebody to make you a car?

[latent ivy]

are you making it?

or you want someone ot?

[ocean flower]

Or need help to create it by your own?

[latent ivy]

to

Yes that would be nice....

[ocean flower]

What

Well , if you want to make it by your own we can help you , but nobody will do it for you

[latent ivy]

I have 53k subscribers and I was hoping a feature in my video would be okay? Is that like unrealistic?

[ocean flower]

But hold up

You want somebody to do it for you?

[latent ivy]

Correct**

[pallid dragon]

@dusk dragon i saw a lightbar form one of ur newest mod but is it an upcomming one or an other mod ?
this is from this pic

(srry for the ping btw)

[ocean flower]

Well , what about make you by your own?

Making cars from scratch is not easy at all

[rocky heart]

Uhhhhh. Idk. It's not perfect as it's kinda my second mod other than changing engine and transmission specs in the jbeam. XD But I can send you the file of what I have. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[latent ivy]

I have the model

It’s a GTA car.

[latent ivy]

if you dont mind

[dusk dragon]

It's coming soon on the repo

[latent ivy]

and if its ok with you

[ocean flower]

Well , if you want a ugly meshlap into your game it still kinda hard

[latent ivy]

I also have Several Hum3d cars. And have nothing to do with them.

[rocky heart]

Can I PM you so I remember?

[latent ivy]

It doesn’t need to be perfect I just need it to be recognizable...

[ocean flower]

So if you have the resources learn Blender and Coding to make it by yourself

[latent ivy]

yes

[ocean flower]

Don't expect everything from up

[dusk dragon]

And it's also fully customizable

[latent ivy]

Is someone able to like teach me?

[ocean flower]

Youtube

[latent ivy]

I honestly have never done any cars before

[ocean flower]

Learn blender basics from Youtube (blender guru is a very good channel to start)

Then Jbeam , there is a few tutorials on yt but is more like trying and failing

[latent ivy]

Oh alright

[rocky heart]

Yeah, definitely try with smaller things.

[ocean flower]

^

Forgot to say that to , but starting with a car is something big

[rocky heart]

I started off with engine and transmission jbeam files.

[ocean flower]

Same

[rocky heart]

Not making my own models, but changing specs of them and stuff.

[ocean flower]

A good way to start "modelling" is to cut actual bodies

[latent ivy]

trying making a prop first

[rocky heart]

I still haven't even figured out how to place nodes in blender. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤣

I know how to delete and add a face though. 🤣

[ocean flower]

Blender won't have nodes work

[rocky heart]

No, not nodes for jbeam

Nodes to make the model.

Whatever they call them.

[ocean flower]

You mean verts?

[rocky heart]

Yeah xD

[ocean flower]

Just press "E"

Well , there is a lot of tools

[rocky heart]

Every video I have watched, they have never said the key presses.

[ocean flower]

Try to watch Blender Guru

Very cool channel

i've learn everything from him

And his voice is very chill xd

[rocky heart]

And then adding more than one texture to a model, it has to be a "separate" part, yes? And use a different material?

[ocean flower]

Yeah

[rocky heart]

Ahhh

I tried to do that with the taillights but couldn't quite get them to show up in beam.

[ocean flower]

And blender is very tricky sometimes

[rocky heart]

Will have to try again.

[rocky heart]

So I've been told. XD

[ocean flower]

If they won't appear is a jbeam issue , not blender

Yeah xd

Can help you with Blender if you want

Just ask me here or elsewhere

[rocky heart]

Well, the lights shown up in game. Just couldn't get the material/texture to work.

[ocean flower]

Did you rename it?

[rocky heart]

Yup xD

[ocean flower]

If it has something like .001 it never gonna work

Gtg

[rocky heart]

Ohhh, it was just "lights"

[rocky heart]

I'll have to go back and retry.

[ocean flower]

yea

[haughty surge]

[past rapids]

Noice

[wide storm]

[dusk dragon]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/unmarked-beacon-pack-legran-sunburst-pessima.17012/

Old Lightbar with retro french police skin

[steady palm]

someone should make the italian police lambo

[dusk dragon]

well it need some work

Plus there's already the Bolide

The whole police station https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/665240035494461461/819057827032596501/BeamNG.drive_-_0.21.4.0.11370_-_RELEASE_-_x64_2021-03-10_04-58-56.mp4

[steady palm]

oh right i forgot abt that

[dusk dragon]

and you can use my undercover light setup for it

[steady palm]

thats the slowest police ever lmao

[dusk dragon]

Well it's the pessima

[steady palm]

wheres the link for that

[steady palm]

lmao yeah

[flat sphinx]

My pc would die at that many cars even tough its a high end one

[dusk dragon]

inspired by this

[flat sphinx]

Or atleast it would run at around 30fps

[steady palm]

are those peugeots

[dusk dragon]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/civetta-bolide-undercover-light-setup-with-selectable-light-patterns.16148/

[dusk dragon]

yes Peugeot 405

of the french Gendarmerie

look like the pessima, that's why I use it

[steady palm]

lmao thats so basic

[dusk dragon]

well it's from 1987

[steady palm]

wait that old?

[dusk dragon]

1987 USA cars looked like this xDD

[steady palm]

i thought it was from 90's smth

waow

[dusk dragon]

of course really old, not used anymore

[steady palm]

what u can do is that use the old livery but on new cars

[dusk dragon]

now they use this

[steady palm]

pretty basic

[dusk dragon]

well the gendarmerie livery is still the same xDDDD

[steady palm]

imagine getting caught in that

[dusk dragon]

well like 50% of the french police use this vehicles

[steady palm]

wow

the police is so slow

[dusk dragon]

well it's france everyone got this type of car, no need for supercars xD

[steady palm]

yeah

[dusk dragon]

https://youtu.be/QXZYywJzJFM?t=10

[steady palm]

they make bugattis and that lmao

[dusk dragon]

well it's not the same budget Bugattis xD

[dusk dragon]

now they use some Peugeot SUV

[steady palm]

thats sorta cool looking from the front

[dusk dragon]

Yeah new peugeot look really good

[steady palm]

i wish i could make mods

[steady palm]

id make the lada niva and whip it on dirt tracks

[dusk dragon]

well it take a looong time to make a car

[steady palm]

where i live, there are a lot of citreons and Peugeots

even though its not even close to france

[steady palm]

even tried making a car?

[dusk dragon]

oh god no

I modified the vanilla vehicles

I make ambulance, firetrucks, lightbars

[steady palm]

yeah i saw

[dusk dragon]

and props

but I can't take 6/9 months to make a car

[flat sphinx]

Can you modify mod vehicles like the Fait One,Bitron B2 etc?

[dusk dragon]

I don't really touch to modded stuff, to unstable and can be outdated with just one update

[flat sphinx]

oh i get it

[dusk dragon]

yeah

would like too, but don't want to take 2/3 days to make stuff for something that can be outdated definitely in a second

[ocean flower]

On my country 405 was used as police car too , for taxi too

Also the 504 , 505

and in some arabic countries the 205

[dusk dragon]

Yeah they are quite successful cars

[ocean flower]

I like them

Peugeot on general is cool , that's why i own one

[dusk dragon]

yeah, basic and efficient

like Dacia now

[ocean flower]

yea

Really wanted to make a 205 in Beam

Cause the only actual one is a gti

[dusk dragon]

the new Dacia look good

[dusk dragon]

well it's so complex to make a car, not surprising that there's none

[ocean flower]

there is one

[dusk dragon]

on the repo ?

[ocean flower]

Actually properly builded

No , on forums

[dusk dragon]

mmmh ok good

[ocean flower]

But is just a GTI and RHD

[subtle crow]

Whats the best flaps for the an-12 to takeoff?

[ocean flower]

And the developer didn't show signs of life since 2018

[dusk dragon]

but making a car is soooo long, take months, can take years, that's why there's not many

[ocean flower]

Yeah

[dusk dragon]

well idk look on internet Antonov 12 flaps settings takeoff

[subtle crow]

i mean it has 4 setting

[ocean flower]

Even the dae file of it can't be imported on blender for some reason

otherwise i could edit the dash

[dusk dragon]

look on internet

[subtle crow]

ok

[dusk dragon]

well old blender stuff can be unstable so not really the best to work on

[ocean flower]

That's probably the reason

As far i know is a texture problem

But dk why it won't show up on blender

[dusk dragon]

sometime there's no explanation

[ocean flower]

Gonna contact a guys that recover old mods

[sweet jetty]

yea

[opaque ibex]

anyone want my automation mod? it goes 365 mph and with just automation, i never touched any files, just automation

just dont turn or it breaks

[flat sphinx]

Its very outdated so you could make one

And its not even finished

[ocean flower]

Still working anyway

And the basics are done , Teh was planning on add a lhd variant and rally parts , but that's not necessary

[mental geode]

i am waiting for the beamng team to check my new repo mod

[limpid pewter]

Anyone else see the chaos on that "IBUSHU 200" reviews?

[buoyant dragon]

?

[ocean flower]

The entire community is a chaos

[limpid pewter]

True that, but I haven't seen this much negative press for a mod in a VERY long time.

[ocean flower]

Which mod you say?

[limpid pewter]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-200-redesign.17008/

[ocean flower]

The mod actually looks cool

[limpid pewter]

To sum it up:

• Creator put self advertisement on the windscreen. Self advertisement is kind of frowned upon.
• It's less of a "redesign" and more of a "facelift" (So false advertising)
• Creator really isn't doing themselves any favors in terms of replying to people, so it's obvious they only care about the downloads that isn't getting, when I can only assume the majority of those downloads are people checking out the mod after seeing all the 1 star reviews.

Yeah I mean it's an ok facelift but comparing it to the the already in game version, virtually nothing is changed.

[ocean flower]

Yeah is more a facelift than just a redesign

[limpid pewter]

Self promotion isn't supposed to be blatant imo, that's just my take. If you do self promotion have it as something minor.

[robust sage]

I honestly dont understand why its in the repo

What a nice way to avoid making the mod properly so updates wont break it

So instead of going through the hard work of making it a new bumper

and implementing it properly

you just add another car and change the meshes around, to add even more clutter.

No wonder there are zero pictures of the car in game

just those renders that always are nothing more than pipe dreams

[dusk dragon]

French Old Lightbar (municipal police)

SAMU

Gendarmerie

Firefighters

[ocean flower]

That's so cool

[dusk dragon]

Thx ^^

with a luminous central panel

[ocean flower]

Amazing , it has been released ?

[dusk dragon]

Not yet, I hope this weel

week

[ocean flower]

Cool

[dusk dragon]

[ocean flower]

OOF

[finite geode]

Well, I managed kind of play BeamNG in VR using Virtual Desktop
made the screen huge and the FOV to high and it was driveable tbh

Now, could it be theoretically possible making an actual VR mod using WebXR and maybe a VR app (as the apps use AngularJS)?

[violet dust]

Hey people, where i can find lore friendly cars?

[buoyant rapids]

In game Repo

Specifically WBIMB and Urbanlore cars

[buoyant dragon]

also wbimb isnt in repo because its technically outdated but almost everything still works

[buoyant rapids]

well, oof, I diddnt actually know that till now, aside from the GM wagon it works fine

[gritty osprey]

wats tha slowest car i can make it fast
at least 200 mph fast

[feral anchor]

There's a 3D VR driver program called VorpX which actually works with BeamNG already, only thing is that it's a paid program. I've given it a go myself, it's pretty cool

[buoyant dragon]

anyone know if this is baked into the grass texture or if i could remove it?

[ornate coral]

can someone make a v8 legran

[arctic hound]

Try speaking with the fine people in #modding-general

[buoyant dragon]

yes i did but no one responded

[shadow gorge]

I saw ninetynines UNRELEASED 90s iBishu Miramar on a sketchy russian website

[finite geode]

I know about it, but I thought maybe doing a free mod that enables VR

[feral anchor]

well if you're trying to make your own, then good luck. a 3d VR driver is no small feat lol

[finite geode]

First I need to figure out how to implement webXR and then how transmit the game to a webpage

Gonna be weird no doubt

[cloud pike]

Looks nice!

[dusk dragon]

Thx ^^

[orchid cedar]

pls send list of good mods

also nice cars ^^^

[latent ivy]

Where do I find models for IRL cars? Every website is russian stuff thats sketchy, where do some of you guys find these mods?

[dusk dragon]

well a part is private

[latent ivy]

what do you mean?

[dusk dragon]

it's private mods

[supple timber]

If you have only searched the repo be sure to check the forum also

[latent ivy]

what do you mean by that?

[dusk dragon]

The mods are not accessible to the public

[latent ivy]

so they made it themselves or..?

[dusk dragon]

modders can make mods for themselves or some special utilizations

[latent ivy]

ah, but is there anywhere where these people get these irl car models on yt or just their own models?

[dusk dragon]

well if it's their mods, it's their own models

[drowsy frost]

not always

GTA models, forza models and some other models iirc some modders use.

sometimes people model their vehicles from scratch.

[cyan pendant]

Is it possible to get those spikes guys?

[buoyant dragon]

pretty sure thats photoshop

[tired coyote]

That's Photoshop
There aren't even shadows and the perspective is messed up

[latent ivy]

Hello everyone!!!

for the moment its going the project advances little by little

even the inside!! but well, the hardest is me engine..... ヾ( *)o

and I would THINK I need a lot of help so the volunteers you can share your help in PM

I’m thinking about using automation but I don’t know yet

[hoary ferry]

good luck : )

[latent ivy]

How to make mods?

[boreal brook]

Depends

You can use blender, Automation, etc

[latent ivy]

talk in #modding-general

and can we call

[latent ivy]

thanks!!

[latent ivy]

im trying to get a model for ped but where do i get one

[boreal brook]

Power chart for my engine, and the original

Both are at idle throttle

[latent ivy]

Drop an automation engine in it

The only good mod that isnt on forums or the offical beamng site

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9TZZF0Myfs

Its not bootleg its pretty good

you download off of drive

((google drive)

[toxic apex]

yes

[latent ivy]

Its RL cars

[devout solstice]

no shit sherlock

[latent ivy]

mad boy 69

[boreal brook]

I literally just typed a small tutorial on my phone for how to make a custom engine with the default ones. It probably will sit in my notes forever and not get used lol

[toxic apex]

any note in a nutshell

[boreal brook]

Yes

It’s 5 steps

[thorny sonnet]

Hi

[wide storm]

theres a mod.

https://www.beamng.com/resources/wbimp-game-expansion.6880/update?update=25835
it doesn't have taillights, but its good

[wide storm]

and why dont you use it?

because the taillights aren't there?

[tired coyote]

The team of that mod is already working on an update

[tawny path]

what to do when i have mods installed and they show up on menu but not on the car list?

(specifically only a few mods, i have other mods that work fine)

[tired coyote]

What mods don't work for example?

[tawny path]

f

hold on

[tired coyote]

Are they from world of mods or similar?

[tawny path]

yes

[tired coyote]

Check the pinned posts

[tawny path]

well

shit

am i just bad at searching, or does beamng forums not have many irl car replicas? (like bmw m3, or something similar)

[tired coyote]

These cars on wom and similar are stolen from their original authors and reuploaded onto third-party websites, sometimes even without credit.

The forums have nice irl cars, you just gotta search for them :smile:

[tawny path]

oh..

yeah, makes sense. i deleted all of those that i havent downloaded on beamng forums^^

ok apparently i was looking at the mods part of the beamng.com and not the forums..lol

[rugged nacelle]

How does the west coast streetlights mod work?

[sly holly]

Set the time to night and they will work

[rugged nacelle]

just on the normal west coast?

@sly holly

[sly holly]

No, there will be a separate map

[rugged nacelle]

Don't think I have one ;-;

I'l try reinstalling it

[sly holly]

Then you just do this (ECUSA used, but they work the same)

[rugged nacelle]

working now, it said installed in repo but wasn't actually downloaded

[dusky gazelle]

Something I've always wondered but have never really found myself, the big beam YouTubers all have some nice real car mods, vipers, corvettes, rx7, a90 supra, etc but where do they downloaded these from? The only one I've found is the evo 9 off of beams site

[devout solstice]

Russian sites

or private mods

[dusky gazelle]

Do you know a site in particular that is reputable for them or no? Is it just hit or miss

[buoyant rapids]

Inhales
Viper can be found on reddit
Corvette can be found in agents private mod pack (not private)
RX7 is on the website
Supra is on the repo called Hirochi Pressu

[nimble agate]

What is the name of that car cause I like the rear lights on it

[sly holly]

Sunburst "Bouncer" config from GPACK

[nimble agate]

Ok

[lucid peak]

guys

i wanted to ask this question since a while

especially since ill get started with modeling and modding soon

whats the difference between a "lowpoly" and a "highpoly" model? what do they do in game? which is better?

i tried googling but the answers werent quite...sufficient

or maybe it is that my newbie af brain cant process the info

[mighty basin]

You want low poly in Beam for better deformation and FPS

[lucid peak]

yeah but what exactly is "lowpoly" and what exactly is "highpoly"

id wanna know

[ocean flower]

Low poly cars are just bad modelled cars

[lucid peak]

and highpoly?

[ocean flower]

Or too poorly model

[ocean flower]

The otherwise , duh

[lucid peak]

i guess highpoly is a high quality model then

hm

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/710083442834145280/819952084899987476/gggggggggggggggggggggggg.png

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/710083442834145280/819952081682432010/ggggggggggggg.png

so lets take this model made by cincinnatus

is that low poly or high poly exactly

[ocean flower]

Show me the verts

It actually looks good

[lucid peak]

its not mine lmao

its cincinnatus's

was just asking

[lucid peak]

so i guess that means high poly?

[ocean flower]

By eye it looks fine

It won't have frame tho

Could be hidden

[lucid peak]

wdym

why

[ocean flower]

Is just a body , there isn't frame

Probably he hide it

[lucid peak]

yeah

but the car will spawn in game right?

[ocean flower]

Idk , i need to see it on Blender to judge it properly

[lucid peak]

i see

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/714429950765301791/820180899323969546/unknown.png

[ocean flower]

If there is nodes , textures and all the jbeam work is ok , yeah

[lucid peak]

right what about crgz's mod

it seems highpoly

[ocean flower]

It looks fine , why you're asking this?

[lucid peak]

im asking because

i wanna start making a mod soon

but im kinda lost in the whole "lowpoly highpoly" thing

and which one works in game

[lucid peak]

but by eye it seems highpoly right

[ocean flower]

Just do your best

Not need to look other's work

Learn and do what you can , slowly turning better

But if you're totally new into this , ofc don't start with modelling

[lucid peak]

huh

then what should i start with

[ocean flower]

Script easy job

Engines , exhaust

No modelling

Starting to modelling a car without previous experience is like learning to drive on a supercar

[lucid peak]

what if

i start basic modelling

cubes, spheres

[ocean flower]

I don't suggest it

[lucid peak]

before moving into the more complicated stuff

[lucid peak]

would a simple cube really take long to model in blender?

i dont think so

[ocean flower]

I mean , you can do what the heck you want but i don't recommend it

I start to first learning blender basics , then did a body cut

On an existing car

You can do a cabrio for example

[lucid peak]

is the learning curve really that steep for blender?

[ocean flower]

I can't say , just a beginner too

For all the things i did , never used the curve tool

Only edge split , solidify and a few more

[lucid peak]

i see

the thing is im getting different advice from each member

crgz told me to just watch a yt video about modeling a car in blender and apply it, such that i can adapt to the learning curve faster and easier

[ocean flower]

All have different opinions , i say mine , pick the most you like it

[lucid peak]

penta told me to start with more basic 3d software like tinkercad before jumping into blender

idk im confused

[ocean flower]

I wanted to do the same and fail

So that's why i started with easiest things

Do what you feel better with

[lucid peak]

i see

thanks a ton for the advice man

[ocean flower]

Np

[lucid peak]

ill try all three advices and see what suits me best

so far penta's seems to be the best but

ill give all a shot

perhaps crgz's method might be better for me because im a fast learner tbh but yea idk

[ocean flower]

Leaning took me weeks , months

[wise pumice]

Hey, I learned to drive on a manual Mustang... What're you saying?

[ocean flower]

The second after i tell "Mustang" my brain tell me "there gonna be people hating you for say mustang"

Fixed , so i don't need to explain the sarcasm

[lucid peak]

i learned to drive on my moms 2010 kia optima :') and my cousin's gmc sierra

and i still didnt get my license yet lmfao
