[ocean flower]

lol

[polar cedar]

You have asked at least 4 times in this server in different channels, that's close to begging

[nova wren]

Also i sent that yesterday so why does it matter

[ocean flower]

Still begging tho

[nova wren]

Nope

[ocean flower]

Sure lol

[nova wren]

Did you just come here randomly to post that

It is not on topic

[polar cedar]

All we want is for you to just stop asking for it because nobody will give you it without jsz's permission

[ocean flower]

^

[nova wren]

I know you won't but how about other people

Just wondering

Since my friends always sent me the mods I don't have

[ocean flower]

Ask them to make you a mod then

[nova wren]

Nvm

[polar cedar]

Other people wont either without jsz's permission because the only people with the mod are his friends

[nova wren]

Nvm

I will ask other people

[nova wren]

Also not everybody is a modder

Just because you are good at modding doesn't everybody else can make a mod easily

[ocean flower]

I'm good at modding?

Aww

Thank ^w^

[shadow gorge]

lmao

[nova wren]

You make it seem like it

Idk what mods you made but you seem to think modding is easy

[ocean flower]

Not at all

[ocean flower]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/authors/dax_with_a_citroen.365666/ :P

All yours , feel free to download them ^^

[nova wren]

Then why do you always talk about modding like its something everybody can learn

[ocean flower]

Cause it is

[nova wren]

Lol you just made 2 cabriolets

I thought you were talking about a scratch car mod lol

[ocean flower]

2 Engine packs , 1 cabriolet , 1 targa , and a LHD interior

I just have a month into this what else you expect smh

[nova wren]

So you basicaly just copy and pasted 2 engines , deleted the roof on 2 cars, and mirrored dashboard on another

Lol

[ocean flower]

And a few other projects on mind 😛

[ocean flower]

That's not even closer to what i did

Jesus christ , why you shoot on your feet so often

[polar cedar]

Don't say that as if modding's easy when you just said it's not and easy thing to learn

[ocean flower]

Lmaoooo yes

[nova wren]

Bruh

I said modding is not easy but you make it seem easy

Nvm

[ocean flower]

i'll explain you on easy words so people like you understand it:

-Is not just "cut roofs"
You also need to create new faces , UV Edit them , make configurations , photos
And a lot of Node work tho

[nova wren]

Well you did not do that good of a job on the UV editing that is for sure

Lol

[ocean flower]

And lhd interior took 3 days lmao

[ocean flower]

Oh really

Tell me where are the fails

Please! I want to fix them!

[nova wren]

There are weird textures on the parts you removed

[ocean flower]

Oh you mean this? https://www.beamng.com/attachments/unknown-png.779945/

Well , apparently you can't read the Updates zone either ^^

Take a look :P

https://www.beamng.com/resources/miramar-cabriolet.16901/updates

[nova wren]

Lmao

All you did is take all the uvs of that broken part and move it on to a blank part like the door

[ocean flower]

Body part*

And? It works perfectly

Don't see the point you're complaining about lol

[nova wren]

Lol

[polar cedar]

modding isn't easy, you can't expect everyone to know how to make things look perfect

[nova wren]

See

Its not easy so why do you make it sound like it is

[ocean flower]

Bruh

[nova wren]

Every time you just say "Why don't you just make a mod" or "Why don't you just learn modding"

[ocean flower]

Do you have dyslexia or something?

[nova wren]

I can read fine

[ocean flower]

Otherwise i can't understand what are you saying smh

[ocean flower]

All i just say is , use the time you waste complaining how hard is modding to actually learn modding

[nova wren]

I am

[ocean flower]

Is like saying "Damn German language is so hard"

But not even try to learn it lol

[nova wren]

I am trying to learn modding bruh

[ocean flower]

I see

[hushed cobalt]

What are you trying right now ? Not about that drama or anything, actually curious

[nova wren]

Make a mercedes mod by myself

Since you guys keep saying all the good ones are private

[ocean flower]

Wait

[hushed cobalt]

But what precisely in that ?

Also, you might want to start small

[ocean flower]

Literally what i been saying those 2 days lmfao

[nova wren]

Wdym

Yesterday I asked how hard it is to make a meshslap and they said not hard

[hushed cobalt]

Oh you're making a meshslap

Nevermind then

[polar cedar]

why make a meshslap

[nova wren]

Because its easy

[hushed cobalt]

Also a meshslap easily done isn't good

[nova wren]

And you can learn modding

[hushed cobalt]

Learn with small things then

[polar cedar]

it's a waste of time and a waste of the great physics this game has

[hushed cobalt]

Spoilers, wheels, idk man

[mighty basin]

you won't learn anything with that

[hushed cobalt]

There's a lot of things in a car

Bumpers

Stuff

[nova wren]

What do you mean

A lot of good car mods are meshslaps

[polar cedar]

no true meshslap is good

[nova wren]

So you said all mods are bad

[ocean flower]

Bruh

[polar cedar]

no

[nova wren]

The supra mod is on 200bx

[ocean flower]

All mods aren't meshlaps

[polar cedar]

i said true meshslap

[nova wren]

As well as etk 1300 is just etk800 edited

[polar cedar]

the supra mod is low quality and the etk1300 is etk800 edited which means its not a true meshslap

most mods are edited jbeams, even official vehicles use donor jbeams

[nova wren]

LJ your mod is also 200bx jbeam right

[polar cedar]

which mod

[nova wren]

The silvia one

[polar cedar]

it uses the 200bx as a base but its heavily edited so it's not really a 200bx

[shadow gorge]

a true meshlap is taking a really high poly body from forza and slapping it on the bolide

[nova wren]

Even the Ibishu zephyr is just a 200bx with 2 doors added

[polar cedar]

yeah, that's not a meshslap though

[nova wren]

So if I make mercedes on like ETK jbeam it isn't that bad a mod

[hushed cobalt]

It is

You need a somewhat fitting jbeam

[polar cedar]

it is if you don't heavily edit the jbeam to be accurate to the mercedes

[ocean flower]

^

[nova wren]

They are the same shape anyway

[hushed cobalt]

jbeam is an important part of the physics

In a game about physics especially

[polar cedar]

changing weights, changing nodes location, changing how many nodes, changing beam properties so it crashes how an irl mercedes does etc etc

[nova wren]

The ETK is just a mercedes

[hushed cobalt]

Not at all

[ocean flower]

No lmao

[mighty basin]

Wha

[nova wren]

It has the same shape and stuff

[hushed cobalt]

Besides it's not the same shape

[polar cedar]

not at all

[ocean flower]

Perhaps both brand are German , ETK is focused on BMW

Is not even hard to know that lol

[hushed cobalt]

It's somewhat close but not the same

[polar cedar]

etk is a mix of cars

[nova wren]

ETK is not just focus on BMW lol

[hushed cobalt]

For example

[polar cedar]

all beam cars are a mix of cars + a lot of original design

[mighty basin]

no it doesn't
It's not a rip off of one brand, it's inspired by a few different ones

[hushed cobalt]

You have a Hot Wheels Mustang and a Matchbox Mustang

[ocean flower]

Not at all

[devout solstice]

my back hurts God damn it

[ocean flower]

lol

[mighty basin]

What site even is that info from

[hushed cobalt]

They'll look somewhat similar but if you put them aside you'll see how different they are

[ocean flower]

IGDC

[nova wren]

Lmfao

[plush wren]

does steam workshop work for beamng or has it been canned

[nova wren]

That is not accurate

[ocean flower]

Sure

[devout solstice]

no

[ocean flower]

https://www.igcd.net/

[polar cedar]

theres no steam workshop for beam, mods can be found here https://www.beamng.com/resources/

[nova wren]

That website just made up a bunch of stuff LOL

[plush wren]

ok ty

[polar cedar]

etk is just etk

[ocean flower]

Is indeed a mix

[nova wren]

You just said its a BMW

Lol

[hushed cobalt]

It is somewhat inspired but it's not the same shape

[ocean flower]

A mix of bmw and a lot of german brands lol

[polar cedar]

i said it's a mix, not just bmw

[nova wren]

Bruh

[mighty basin]

It's inspired by a few german brands, it's not one brand rip off

[ocean flower]

Is focused

focused

[nova wren]

No

It is not focused on BMW

[polar cedar]

that's not me btw

[ocean flower]

So in what?

On mercedes?

[hushed cobalt]

You're saying it's different then

[nova wren]

No I agree with LJ

[polar cedar]

yay

[nova wren]

But I also said that the car is similar enough to Mercedes SLK

So i can use the jbeam

[ocean flower]

Do it lol

Who stop you

[nova wren]

Nobody lol

[polar cedar]

that's not close to the k-series jbeam

[nova wren]

I'm just asking your guys opinion

[ocean flower]

I see

[polar cedar]

my opinion is it's a waste of time and wont work well if you're going to meshslap it like this and it's a waste of the cool physics system beam has

[nova wren]

Wdym

[hushed cobalt]

From my understanding, meshslapping for training is just the equivalent of printing other artwork for learning how to draw

[latent ivy]

You would have to modify the jbeam, if you wouldnt then

[nova wren]

Bruh

That picture is like using lambo model on bus jbeam

I am using a car that is more similar

So it can fit better

[hushed cobalt]

It's still gonna teach nothing to you

You won't be able to do a fleshed-out quality mod after that

[polar cedar]

it's not as similar as you might think though

[ocean flower]

Just start learning with smaller things smh

[nova wren]

Not similar

[nova wren]

Bruh

[ocean flower]

Trunk is larger

[nova wren]

Then I can just edit the trunk

[hushed cobalt]

The whole front end is different

[ocean flower]

I think is thicker too

[nova wren]

Ok and

It should fit

[ocean flower]

I mean , you do whatever you want dude lol , you're asking for opinions and get mad at us

[polar cedar]

the only thing that's similar is it's a modern long hood coupe

[sick prairie]

You would be better off starting from scratch than you would be trying to meshslap it.

[polar cedar]

yeah

[nova wren]

When did I get mad at you, Lol

[latent ivy]

tbh, @nova wren make a model from scratch and edit the jbeam if you want it

[hushed cobalt]

Simply : If you want to learn how to mod, start with car parts

[nova wren]

I don't know how to make a model on scratch

[hushed cobalt]

LEARN

[latent ivy]

true

[nova wren]

I can't learn like in 10 minutes

[ocean flower]

Complaining won't help

[hushed cobalt]

That's what we've been telling you for 20 minutes

[latent ivy]

It means that you make the model from the basics

[nova wren]

Anyways a lot of mods use not scratch models so that is not a problem

[latent ivy]

idk how to explain

[hushed cobalt]

And ? Whatever, just take 10 hours, 10 days, 10 months, 10 years

[nova wren]

For example the supra mod I told you about earlier is using a model from another game

[polar cedar]

oh cmon, don't steal a model as well

[hushed cobalt]

And the supra mod is bad

[nova wren]

Its not stealing lol

If i ask permission then its not

[nova wren]

That is a good mod with a lot of downloads and good review

[hushed cobalt]

Just have goddamn patience

[wind wren]

People aren’t just going to give you stuff

[ocean flower]

As i say 30 times , complaining about how hard is learning will never brind you somewhere.

[nova wren]

I didn't complain

[latent ivy]

Gl with asking forza horizon 4 devs for the model and textures to make it legally lol

[pearl cedar]

im going to learn modding one day

but i cant really find a tutorial

[nova wren]

Bruh

Just learn

Like they said

[ocean flower]

Are you fucking kidding me

[pearl cedar]

tf bruh

[latent ivy]

There are some

[pearl cedar]

are u dumb

[nova wren]

That is what you are telling me all the time

[wind wren]

Stop making a fool of yourself

[hushed cobalt]

Why don't you ?

[ocean flower]

True lol

[nova wren]

I am trying to learn

[hushed cobalt]

You aren't

[ocean flower]

Complaining is not a way of learning

[pearl cedar]

ik but i need to learn how to use blender i am messing around though

[hushed cobalt]

You just told that it's too hard

[pearl cedar]

then try

[nova wren]

Wdym

Im finding a model rn

[polar cedar]

don't use downloads and reviews to say whether it's good or not, it uses old models and textures and a jbeam that's not edited that much from a 200bx

[pearl cedar]

if you dont try you will never achieve anything

[hushed cobalt]

That's complaining

[ocean flower]

https://www.youtube.com/user/AndrewPPrice A good channel to start with :P

[devout solstice]

model yourself

[hushed cobalt]

Yes

[nova wren]

I don't know how to model it myself

[latent ivy]

for blender there is a lot of yt tutorials

[pearl cedar]

thanks!

[devout solstice]

learn

[nova wren]

Bruh

[hushed cobalt]

We just gave you tutorials

[ocean flower]

he don't want to lmao

[hushed cobalt]

They're RIGHT THERE

USE THEM

[devout solstice]

what's even happening why are we mad at him

[nova wren]

I'm just saying I don't need to learn to scratch model everything I can borrow somebodys model

[ocean flower]

Andrew teach me the basics of blender :P

[ocean flower]

Idk lol , this dude complain about how hard is modding but don't want to learn either lmao

[hushed cobalt]

I'm doing this at this exact moment

[polar cedar]

he wants to meshslap

[ocean flower]

oh yeah and that

[hushed cobalt]

And it's going fine

[devout solstice]

I made a bike as my first mod with an original jbeam wtf is he on

[polar cedar]

laziness is what

[nova wren]

Bruh

[latent ivy]

@pearl cedar this one is a gr8 start (ik it's for roblox but it is a great start, really

)

[hushed cobalt]

He wants help, we give him help, he won't take the help, we still give him and I don't know why we do

[latent ivy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbfO0ryZ74k&t=2556s

This

[nova wren]

You guys just get mad at me for trying to use pre made model on a etk jbeam

[polar cedar]

yes

[pearl cedar]

lemme learn to make a donut first

[nova wren]

I ask for help on how to put a model on the etk jbeam not for help on modeling

[latent ivy]

lol

[ocean flower]

And you are mad at us cause we want to teach you (?

[latent ivy]

gl btw

[polar cedar]

we don't help meshslappers

[latent ivy]

true

[polar cedar]

actually that's not true

[nova wren]

Bruh

[hushed cobalt]

Nevermind I'll keep modelling my donut

[polar cedar]

we help them to not meshslap

[latent ivy]

ah nvm

I was a meshslapper bacc then

but now i know how to jbeam

[ocean flower]

"dont fall into the meshlap world , search help"

[nova wren]

Bruh

I don't get what is the problem with using somebody else model

[devout solstice]

because it's a lack of skill

[latent ivy]

It is low quality

[ocean flower]

What a bad election of words

[polar cedar]

everything is the problem

[nova wren]

A lot of good mods use somebodys model

[latent ivy]

and if youre gonna do that then you are lazy af

[nova wren]

Even on the official website

[ocean flower]

Tell me 1 of them

[polar cedar]

it will not fit beamngs jbeams at all, it wont have the level of detail you need, it wont have textures made specifically for beam etc etc

[nova wren]

But you can edit the jbeam

[latent ivy]

noooooooooo they don;t good mods olways have a scratch made model

[nova wren]

Um no

[latent ivy]

yes that on is true

[polar cedar]

no matter how much you edit the jbeam, it wont work that well

[nova wren]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/hirochi-prasu.2251/

[polar cedar]

the prasu is a bad mod

[nova wren]

?

No

[latent ivy]

old and bad

[polar cedar]

low quality model and textures and the jbeam doesn't fit

sound is weird

[nova wren]

It has 700k download and 250 good reviews

[devout solstice]

the prasu isn't bad, just the textures itself is shi

[polar cedar]

i could slap an r34 on an etk k jbeam and it would get a few 100k's

it's because it's a popular car

[nova wren]

But it has good reviews as well

[ocean flower]

From supra fans lmao

[nova wren]

And the jbeam is good

[polar cedar]

yeah

no

well

the jbeam is kinda good because it's a 200bx jbeam

[nova wren]

Yeah

[polar cedar]

but because the model doesn't fit, the jbeam is bad for the mod

[nova wren]

Bruh

I doubt that the private red mercedes I showed earlier is scratch model

[polar cedar]

it is

jsz scratch makes all those facelift models

that's why they flow with the base model

[nova wren]

Ok still

[polar cedar]

?

[nova wren]

There are lots of good mods that use non scratch model

So that is what i am doing

[polar cedar]

name 1 please

[nova wren]

I already did

[ocean flower]

again

i want to see it too

[nova wren]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/hirochi-prasu.2251/

[polar cedar]

no, the prasu is not good and i have already told you why

[ocean flower]

bruh

[polar cedar]

downloads and reviews mean nothing about the quality

[mighty basin]

that's because many care about quantity over quality
Pretty sure even the author of the mod said he would do a better one someday

[ocean flower]

Why is he so predictable

[nova wren]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/gavril-vertex-na2.13061/

This is a automation model

[polar cedar]

it doesn't crash well

it's a cool mod with a lot of work put into it

[devout solstice]

it really doesn't crash well

[nova wren]

That is the best mod

Even devs said

[devout solstice]

sorry innocent lol

[sick prairie]

But thats all automation cars really isn't it

[polar cedar]

the devs said because of how much work innocent put into the mod

[nova wren]

Bruh

Then what is a good mod in your opinion

[ocean flower]

Any scratch made model

[sick prairie]

The ME-262.

[nova wren]

That is scratch made

Is it good

[polar cedar]

lucas's delorean is good

[ocean flower]

^

[nova wren]

Yeah but he is a pro modder

[polar cedar]

scratch made doesn't always mean good

[polar cedar]

that doesn't disprove my point

it's still a great scratch made mod

[nova wren]

I'm not very good at modding so using a model from gamemodels is ok

[polar cedar]

no

[nova wren]

Why

[polar cedar]

using models from there is stealing

[nova wren]

My friends use it

to make like Dodge Charger mod and Ford Mustang

[polar cedar]

and because like i have said too many times, using non scratch made models is bad

[ocean flower]

"my friend consumes drugs" ,it is right? No

[polar cedar]

well then they're stealing

[latent ivy]

dof**?

[nova wren]

Some guy made that a long time ago Lol

[latent ivy]

It's crap and its not scratch made at all

[nova wren]

It was on a discord

[latent ivy]

its edited

badly

[polar cedar]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/ford-fiesta-mk1-1976-1983.63119/

another great mod

[nova wren]

The front part is scratch

[polar cedar]

not released yet but still great

[latent ivy]

mazda cosmo is scratch made i think

same with the 94 covet

[nova wren]

Nope

all reused models from other game

[sick prairie]

Why do you think that?

[nova wren]

Because they literally said on the thread

And they don't have permission for that one so it cannot go on repository

[latent ivy]

Find the moment when people said thar

[latent ivy]

It can't go to repository cuz its not lore friendly

[nova wren]

Nope

[latent ivy]

what mod

[nova wren]

1994 covet

[latent ivy]

wait what

[nova wren]

That model is stolen from Turn 10

So even though its ibishu it cant go on reposotory

[mighty basin]

Cosmo is scratch made

[latent ivy]

but its not from a crappy website and the guy said most of it which means that some of the model is hand made or edited

[sick prairie]

We hadn't been talking about the 94' vet I thought? Hadn't we been talking about the Mazda Cosmo?

[nova wren]

No

the Mazda is good

[ocean flower]

he delete it lmao

[nova wren]

Whats wrong with that?

I realized what i say is wrong, so i deleted it

[devout solstice]

someone please break my back

[mighty basin]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/v1-4-released-1968-1972-mazda-cosmo-l10a-l10b.61106/

[latent ivy]

subaru brz is good isnt it

[nova wren]

What

No

That is also stolen model

[latent ivy]

oh wait

[nova wren]

even the sounds is stolen

[latent ivy]

yes youre right

[nova wren]

Lol

[latent ivy]

but its a high quality model tho

[nova wren]

See

[polar cedar]

i wonder how many released car mods there are with scratch models

[nova wren]

I can just use a mercedes model like that and use ETK jbeam

[latent ivy]

not from a crappy website

[polar cedar]

no

[latent ivy]

nope

[polar cedar]

it will be a bad quality mod

[nova wren]

Wdym

Those mods are quality

On forums

[polar cedar]

no they are not at all

[latent ivy]

make jbeam yourself or at least modify it properly

[nova wren]

Well still I'm making a mercedes

[ocean flower]

Just leave it do whatever he wants lmao , then when bad reviews appear....

[nova wren]

I can edit a jbeam

[latent ivy]

THEY HAVE THIR OWN JBEAM

[polar cedar]

make the model yourself at least

[nova wren]

No they don't

[latent ivy]

THATS CALLED QUALITY

[nova wren]

It is all like a meshslap

Lol

[latent ivy]

do you even know the definition of it

[nova wren]

Yes

[polar cedar]

don't follow what they do if you know what they're doing is meshslapping and low quality

[nova wren]

They just slapped it on a offical car jbeam

[polar cedar]

yeah

don't do that

[latent ivy]

and thats what you want to do with a merc?

huh?

[nova wren]

Yeah

I already said

[ocean flower]

Do it

Just do it

dont ask for help here tho

[nova wren]

I am

Just finding a model rn

[ocean flower]

Even the model

[nova wren]

You aren't the admin of the server

[ocean flower]

jesus chirst

[nova wren]

There is a channel called modding help and I will ask there

[ocean flower]

Do it

[latent ivy]

do it your way but youll start crying (literally) after a lot of bad reviews hit

[nova wren]

A lot of the reviews on the ones on the forum are good

[sick prairie]

If you think we are shitting on you for wanting to rip a mesh others will dig even deeper.

[polar cedar]

reviews don't mean anything as we've said before

[ocean flower]

from people who don't know nothing about modding

[polar cedar]

what is it with people and doing it just for good reviews and downloads

[latent ivy]

thats becuz the jbeam is HAND MADE

[nova wren]

Nope

[latent ivy]

or edited with paying a lot of attention to it

[nova wren]

None of jbeam is hand made

Not edited a lot either

[polar cedar]

yeah

[nova wren]

Maybe they change the wheels but that is it

[polar cedar]

so focus on that, not on the good attention it gets

[nova wren]

I found a good file, and I am opening in blender

How can i rename the ETK to mercedes

[devout solstice]

no help allowed

[nova wren]

?

Ok i'll go to modding help

[devout solstice]

The ETK Jbeam or what

[polar cedar]

oh god that model

that will not work well in beamng at all

[devout solstice]

How many verts

[polar cedar]

looks like way too many

[mighty basin]

@nova wren You can't just take any model, not all are suitable for Beam

[ocean flower]

Oh gosh

[sick prairie]

the verts are yes

[ocean flower]

Shh leave him alone

[nova wren]

190,000

[ocean flower]

i want to see this

[devout solstice]

oh my

[nova wren]

Wdym

[ocean flower]

Very optimized!!

That would work great on the game!

[nova wren]

I downloaded another mercedes mod and it had even more verticies

[devout solstice]

At least download something that looks good

[polar cedar]

190k and that's just a base model shell and wheels

[devout solstice]

Does it have suspension lol

[ocean flower]

more verts = better

[sick prairie]

Would be better off making your own.

[polar cedar]

190k is high for a beamng car including all non base parts

[devout solstice]

My bike had 580k so I'm not complaining

[ocean flower]

Lmfao

[polar cedar]

yikes

[nova wren]

See

[polar cedar]

wdym see

[ocean flower]

What the

[nova wren]

This one has 400,000 verticies

And it works in Beamng

[devout solstice]

wdym yikes lj, I had a lot of parts

[ocean flower]

Definitely not WoM

[polar cedar]

yeah because it's a meshslap from a bad website

[polar cedar]

ah right

[nova wren]

Yeah but im just saying a lot of verticies isn't that bad

[polar cedar]

yes it is

it very much is

[ocean flower]

Yes

0 lag

[nova wren]

If he has 500k and it works in game then its ok

mine is only 190k

[polar cedar]

how dense your model is a huge factor when it comes to deformation

190k is too much

500k is 5x too much

[devout solstice]

I sacrificed deformation for poly count

which wasn't smart

[nova wren]

His bike is way smaller than car and it has double verticies as my car

Lol

[ocean flower]

double verts wat

[polar cedar]

he just said it wasn't smart so don't use it as an example

[devout solstice]

1. that was my first mod, 2) Bikes will never deform well

3. bikes are experimental to the game

[nova wren]

This is also my first mod

[devout solstice]

too bad

fight me

[nova wren]

??

[devout solstice]

At least I could model it

[ocean flower]

xd

[polar cedar]

we're trying to help you to have a good first mod and even better mods after that

don't just use 'oh this mod is bad so mine can be too'

[nova wren]

LJ you are a good modder, what is your first mod

like a full car?

[polar cedar]

i've used that kind of excuse when modding before a lot and i'm not proud

[polar cedar]

full released car mod was the evo

[nova wren]

I mean first mod you ever made

[polar cedar]

i'm checking

bumper car mod

[ocean flower]

I made an engine as first mod lmao

[polar cedar]

terrible quality mod

[devout solstice]

Wait was that the mfd challenge

[polar cedar]

wait no it wasn't

and yeah mfd challenge

first mod was the rocket bunny 200bx

[devout solstice]

Put coltris man, I just need to hit other cars without going through them

[polar cedar]

lol that thing needs more than just coltris

needs a whole restart

[nova wren]

I know a guy also working on a new airbags mod so maybe I can add that to my mod as a feature also

[ocean flower]

Who

[nova wren]

Stance_Nation

[polar cedar]

stop thinking about features like that yet

[pearl cedar]

ok guys so i need to study bcuz of exams tomorrow is it ok if i download a model and mess with it?

[devout solstice]

Stance nation is new

[polar cedar]

focus on learning how to actually make the mod first

[nova wren]

I was talking to him and he said it will be done in like a month

[pearl cedar]

that is not easy

[devout solstice]

and he doesn't know the basis of jbeam

[nova wren]

So it will be finished maybe when my mod is done

[devout solstice]

let alone lua

[polar cedar]

a month?!

[nova wren]

Wdym

[devout solstice]

god damn

[ocean flower]

lua for start modding is like starting with Java on coding

[devout solstice]

no lol

[polar cedar]

you said it would be done it about a month

[nova wren]

Yeah

[polar cedar]

and then you said your mod would be about the same

[ocean flower]

just an example lol

[polar cedar]

you know full car mods take years to make good

[ocean flower]

I know lua is not java lmao

[nova wren]

Im not making the jbeam from 100% scratch

Some people can make a meshslap in 1 day

[polar cedar]

neither but my silvia is at least a year old now

[pearl cedar]

guys is it ok if i download a model and mess with it?

[ocean flower]

"his" meshlap shoudln't take a lot thoug

[ocean flower]

Not recommended

[polar cedar]

what type of model

[pearl cedar]

mercedes

car model

[ocean flower]

We are literally talking about how bad meshlap is

[nova wren]

Yoo same

[polar cedar]

don't use downloaded models pls

[nova wren]

Im also making mercedes mod

[pearl cedar]

meshlap is like bootleg

[devout solstice]

You're not making anything lol

[ocean flower]

Literally lmao

[nova wren]

I'll talk to Stance about the idea

[devout solstice]

Sorry but stance knows nothing

[nova wren]

Since it will be cool to have features in my mod that other cars dont

[polar cedar]

focusing on little details like airbags before the rest of the mod is how you get lost with mod making

trust me

[ocean flower]

So you don't even have the car ingame and already have an airbag on it

[nova wren]

Well i'm not making it

[polar cedar]

it's half the reason i'm restarting the silvia

[ocean flower]

That's fast

[nova wren]

Stance is making the mod

[ocean flower]

wen riliz

[nova wren]

I just plan on adding the feature to my mod when its done

[mighty basin]

don't plan a lot of stuff early

[ocean flower]

I really wonder where is he getting the lua code from

[nova wren]

Wdym

My mod doesn't need lua code

[polar cedar]

for airbags it will

[nova wren]

Stance is working on that

[devout solstice]

General error can't help

I doubt he's going to finish it in a month, yet even finish it in the first place unfortunately

[ocean flower]

You even know what lua is

[nova wren]

Do you know what it is

[polar cedar]

you still will need lua in your mod for it to work

[nova wren]

No

[devout solstice]

yes

you literally do

[ocean flower]

Bruh

[nova wren]

Its just the regular etk lua

[polar cedar]

theres a reason all beamng cars with special unique functions have a lua folder

the etk k has no lua folder

and especially not one for airbags

[nova wren]

So you just add it

[polar cedar]

yes exactly

[nova wren]

You don't even need lua on airbag

[devout solstice]

yes but you need to bind the lua too

yes you do omfg

[polar cedar]

how else will it know when to go off

[devout solstice]

Collision detection is part of lua

[nova wren]

I downloaded a test version on modland and it doesn't have lua

just a jbeam for the glass

[polar cedar]

because that's a terrible lazy version

airbags don't go off just because of glass breaking

[nova wren]

Well that is not mine

[ocean flower]

What you exactly downloaded

[devout solstice]

How old are you man

[sick prairie]

Computer AIDS probably since its off of modland.

[devout solstice]

You're among the ignorant

[ocean flower]

bruh

[sick prairie]

Just leave him he can't be reasoned with

[nova wren]

Dont blame me idk how it works

Stance is making that

[devout solstice]

Stance doesn't even know how to jbeam properly

[ocean flower]

Yes , we see

[devout solstice]

He literally was invited into a group out of nowhere in #off-topic where a group of people were planning to make the ab mod, ended up leaving stance to do it by himself, don't think he really got the stride to do it. Haven't seen any progress lately

[latent ivy]

@nova wren Watch this i tested a meshslap and a GOOD mod

[polar cedar]

those lambo rims 😍 😍 🔥 🦞 😍

[latent ivy]

Y E S

[devout solstice]

hold up just saw that lmfao

[ocean flower]

i want to puke

[latent ivy]

40 mph into a tree

that merc o be like an automation car lol

[devout solstice]

wtf

[nova wren]

Both of them are spiky lol

[latent ivy]

look at the merc

[polar cedar]

exactly why you don't use high poly models mixed with meshes that don't fit at all

[latent ivy]

that model is a scratch made one but yes its high poly

and that merc is i think from forza horizon 4

[devout solstice]

biek

[nova wren]

I can find a lower verticies model

[polar cedar]

or

scratch make one

[ocean flower]

Solution : make it by your own ✨

[nova wren]

Also is this the correct airbag system to use

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW2xHz_LAU-Xj9u4kYEshxg

[ocean flower]

Bruh

[polar cedar]

omg pls no

[hushed cobalt]

Coming back for a sec

[polar cedar]

not alex

[nova wren]

I was talking with Stance and we found one already made

[hushed cobalt]

NO

[devout solstice]

ALEX

[nova wren]

But I don't think that is correct

[pearl cedar]

NOOO

[ocean flower]

alex...

[nova wren]

?

[hushed cobalt]

No no no no

[ocean flower]

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

[hushed cobalt]

Not goddamn alex

[ocean flower]

did you ever watch this

[devout solstice]

it just appears out of nowhere lmao

[polar cedar]

i have tested his airbag mod and it has so many problems

[pearl cedar]

NOT ALEX
'

[latent ivy]

THATS WHY YOU SHOULDNT MAKE A MESHSLAP

[latent ivy]

A I R B A G

[nova wren]

Anyways stance's airbag mod will have lua

[devout solstice]

Man's just uses deform groups like its nothing

[hushed cobalt]

I didn't try his mod though if it's like its creator I can guess what it is

[ocean flower]

high quality airbag mod

[polar cedar]

wow

[hushed cobalt]

Awful

[polar cedar]

i thought my evo spiked more than that

[ocean flower]

do both of you know how even lua works

Or know how code in

[nova wren]

I don't but i think he is learning

[ocean flower]

learning or stealing

[nova wren]

He is making his own

[devout solstice]

no

[nova wren]

Not stealing because the other airbag mod is not good

[devout solstice]

he's asking someone to make it for him lmao

[nova wren]

No

[ocean flower]

Literally lol

[nova wren]

He asking for tips

From somebody who knows lua

[ocean flower]

Why you can't handle the truth smh

[devout solstice]

that's not what i saw lol

[nova wren]

He is learning

[devout solstice]

a little more on luas won't really be sufficient but ok

[ocean flower]

One pic just contradicts the other lol

[nova wren]

Anyway

He is making the mod

You are not

[ocean flower]

Omg

I'm so jealous !

[nova wren]

Im just saying to not judge him

For not knowing how to code lua

He is learning

And the mod will be done one day

[devout solstice]

Ask him what progress he's made

[ocean flower]

And show it to us , please.

[nova wren]

Why

I told you he is right now learning lua

[sick prairie]

Cause he probably is either bluffing or like you is trying to steal it from someone.

[ocean flower]

So he didn't do any progress?

[nova wren]

I did not steal anything

[devout solstice]

He's not stealing pre sure

[nova wren]

And who can you even steal from

[devout solstice]

And he's not bluffing, he's shown me some stuff

[nova wren]

Nobody made an airbag mod

[devout solstice]

but he's made a total of 4 nodes

and a square mesh

[sick prairie]

RCMERC you were trying to meshslap earlier today

[devout solstice]

and for some reasom wants to make it a separate vehicle for the airbag

[sick prairie]

And that will work how?

[devout solstice]

I don't even know tbh

[pearl cedar]

guys how do i like trace pictures like in videos

[nova wren]

What

[pearl cedar]

like

they have a flat layout and then they trace over it

[ocean flower]

what

Can you show what are you talking about

[pearl cedar]

bruh are u dumb

[nova wren]

bruh

[devout solstice]

bruh

[ocean flower]

Lol

[nova wren]

I know what he mean lol

[pearl cedar]

one sec

[nova wren]

Like import a picture to model off of

[ocean flower]

Not my fault your way of expression is just dumb

[nova wren]

Car blueprint

[nova wren]

No you are dumb lol

He explained it clearly

[ocean flower]

You just shoot on your feet again

Why i even waste time on this smh

[devout solstice]

then why didn't he just say blueprint lmao

[nova wren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzZd1Q3Jlhk

[devout solstice]

why are you sending tutorials if you won't even make a model yourself lmfao

[nova wren]

Wdym

[pearl cedar]

how do i do this

[ocean flower]

is called "blueprint" or "vector" , dearling

[devout solstice]

extrude?

[pearl cedar]

oh my bad

yeah how do i do that

[devout solstice]

e

[pearl cedar]

noo

[ocean flower]

Ah

[pearl cedar]

how do i trace

[polar cedar]

i wouldn't really recommend that tutorial

[devout solstice]

dude you explain like a 5 year old

[nova wren]

LOL that is penta's video

[pearl cedar]

ok

[ocean flower]

Why i waste time sending you Blender Guru channel to you just search the first dumb tutorial you see

[nova wren]

Bruh

[pearl cedar]

1. how do i trace
2. im 14 get your facts straight

[pearl cedar]

i did watch it

[nova wren]

Why are you so mean

[devout solstice]

trace in edit mode

[pearl cedar]

Thx

[devout solstice]

ctrl a then mesh then square or some shi

[polar cedar]

to trace

[devout solstice]

then delete whatever you need

[polar cedar]

just press e and drag the mouse

[devout solstice]

yes

[ocean flower]

Shooted on your feet twice

[nova wren]

You called him dumb first

[ocean flower]

Bruh

How old are you Merc

[nova wren]

Why are you asking that

[hushed cobalt]

Be honest

[nova wren]

How old are you then

[ocean flower]

Just wondering

[devout solstice]

ong

[ocean flower]

16

[nova wren]

Lol ok

[hushed cobalt]

I'm 14

[nova wren]

same

[devout solstice]

understandable

[ocean flower]

Indeed

[devout solstice]

not in a good way

[nova wren]

Wdym

I am over 13

[devout solstice]

I'd expect you to understand our side of the argument

instead of being ignorant

[sick prairie]

25

[nova wren]

You are playing roblox

Do you not have a job

[ocean flower]

Bruh

[sick prairie]

I am not the one on Roblox that would be my nephew who has access to my discord account.

[ocean flower]

"you are an adult , you can't play games"

[nova wren]

Did i say that

[ocean flower]

That's just the most stupid argument i've heard

[sick prairie]

I personally am at work just waiting to get into my morning meeting

[nova wren]

Why are you so toxic all the time jesus christ

[ocean flower]

You just shooted on your feet

For third time

Woah

[nova wren]

?

[polar cedar]

you pretty much did

[nova wren]

When

[sick prairie]

I am playing WarThunder while I wait he doesn't have school because of Ohio state testing

[nova wren]

That is a question

When did I say he cannot play games

[ocean flower]

Why you even took us as idiots

[polar cedar]

you implied it

[sick prairie]

heavily

[nova wren]

So when I imply things its not ok but when you guys imply things it is ok

[hushed cobalt]

When did we imply things

[pseudo gazelle]

lol

[polar cedar]

?

[nova wren]

When you say "just make a model from scratch" that implies that it is easy to learn

[devout solstice]

scrolls up infinitely

[sick prairie]

When you imply that I have no job because of the status of my account yeah.

[hushed cobalt]

How does it imply it ?

[ocean flower]

All your behaviour is cause me?

[sick prairie]

And its not too bad if you are patient.

[ocean flower]

Jesus

[nova wren]

?

[polar cedar]

i didn't say that

[nova wren]

I wasn't talking to you

[polar cedar]

adding 'just' implies that yeah but i never said 'just' scratch model

[ocean flower]

To me as always lol

All of this for a dumb model jeez

[sick prairie]

Hell it isn't too terribly difficult to learn and the results are far better than mesh slapping

[nova wren]

Ok

And

[polar cedar]

not even the results, the workflow is just so much easier

using pre-made models is a terrible pain to work with

[nova wren]

?

How

[ocean flower]

I will not have this discussion again lol

[nova wren]

All you do is import it and adjust the parts to fit

[nova wren]

Nobody is talking to you

[ocean flower]

guess what

you

[nova wren]

Nobody asked you to talk

[ocean flower]

shooted

on your feet

[nova wren]

I am talking with LJ right now

[hushed cobalt]

Poly count

[polar cedar]

no you don't

what about textures

[nova wren]

Use the beamng textures

[ocean flower]

Bruh

[polar cedar]

the textures it comes with likely won't be beam ready

so you will have to uv map it

[nova wren]

I just selected all the verticies for the body color and move it on the uv of the etk K series door

[polar cedar]

with pre made models, that's insanely harder

[nova wren]

Like door, body, trunk, bumper

[polar cedar]

it will look really bad like that

[nova wren]

Wdym

[devout solstice]

and you have to split the parts don't forget that

[nova wren]

They are already split

[devout solstice]

not always

[polar cedar]

it won't have actual texture and normal maps

[nova wren]

It has texture

[polar cedar]

most of the time not

[nova wren]

And it can change color as well

[polar cedar]

not if you just 'selected all the verticies for the body color and move it on the uv of the etk K series door'

what about non body parts

[nova wren]

It is my first mod so it doesn't need all the normal maps

[polar cedar]

like the chassis, interior, mechanics

[polar cedar]

again, lazy excuse

[nova wren]

For the window frames and such I can just move the uv on the dark part of the etk texture

[polar cedar]

i didn't say window frames

[nova wren]

The suspension and engine is reused from ETK

[devout solstice]

of course

[polar cedar]

what about the chassis bits and interior

[nova wren]

That's why I adjust the body to fit the suspension

Wdym the chassis bit

[devout solstice]

the interior you won't be able to refit into a different chassis

[polar cedar]

chassi bit textures

these bits

[nova wren]

Just the dark texture i said

My model doesn't have that part

[hushed cobalt]

You do realize you've been fighting for 2 hours just to be lazy

[devout solstice]

not a suprise

[nova wren]

But you can't see it because the hood covers it

[polar cedar]

that's even worse

those parts play a large part in beam cars

[hushed cobalt]

In that time you would have started the donut tutorial and you'd be gone very far

[polar cedar]

what about when it comes off

[ocean flower]

What an awful mod this will be

[devout solstice]

ong

[polar cedar]

couldve even finished

[nova wren]

How do you know it is awful

[polar cedar]

omg

[ocean flower]

Reading your wholesome words

[nova wren]

Why do you keep coming back just to be mean

[ocean flower]

I'm here lmao

[polar cedar]

heres just one of the many reasons

[polar cedar]

another

[nova wren]

On some of the mods i tried the hood and doors and trunk don't fall off

[ocean flower]

1- Is a free model
2- You don't know the basics
3- The model is junk

That's how i know

[polar cedar]

don't use those mods as an example and an excuse then

[nova wren]

They are good mods

[polar cedar]

using the 'this car doesn't so why should mine' excuse is so lazy

[nova wren]

Just because the door doesn't fall off doesn't mean its a bad mod

[ocean flower]

Yes , it is

[polar cedar]

i used that excuse on a lot of my previous mods but now i know you should always try to exceed the quality of other mods and even dev cars

[nova wren]

In fact I have a mod from the repo and its a good mod but the doors don't have a jbeam and fall off

[hushed cobalt]

Anyways, I'm trying for the 3rd time, I shouldn't but you should try with parts for a vanilla car

[polar cedar]

the na2?

[nova wren]

That one used to not have doors

[ocean flower]

He will never do that lol

[nova wren]

And it was still a dev featured mod

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-jbx100.14139

This one only have 2 doors that work

[polar cedar]

thats a heavy wip mod that he doesn't want to work on anymore

[nova wren]

That is a excuse lol

[ocean flower]

an excuse*

[polar cedar]

wdym

[nova wren]

Why can you give excuses but i can't

[hushed cobalt]

Why won't you listen to me ?

[polar cedar]

what is it an excuse for?

[nova wren]

For it not having working doors

You said its wip and he doesn't want to work on it

[polar cedar]

not working on it is a reason, the doors can't magically make themselves

reason and excuse are completely different

[nova wren]

So if you can say that I can also say my mod is wip so my mod doesn't have doors also

[polar cedar]

well then either you're lying or it will eventually get doors

[nova wren]

Anyways I am going to work on my mod

[hushed cobalt]

I'm being very nice with you right now, I'm pissed off and I'm still helping you so please answer me

[ocean flower]

Good luck , you will need it lol

[devout solstice]

does he know where to start

[ocean flower]

Wanna bet something

he will:
Open blender
and ask "how i import my model into blender"

[devout solstice]

he already did

#modding-general

[nova wren]

I already got the model in blender

[devout solstice]

wow

what next

[nova wren]

The part i need help is getting the model on to the ETK jbeam

[polar cedar]

i don't think he realizes it's not just as easy as importing it into beamng

[nova wren]

I am working on that now

[devout solstice]

keep me updated please lmfao

[ocean flower]

Same

[foggy geyser]

good luck bro!

[ocean flower]

oh no

[foggy geyser]

?

[ocean flower]

You should scroll up and read all the stuff your friend wrote lmao

[foggy geyser]

?

how far up?

[ocean flower]

Literally 4 million of messages up

[foggy geyser]

to lazy to check

[sick prairie]

IDK the part where he admitted to wanting to mesh slap

[polar cedar]

scroll till 2 and half hours back

[ocean flower]

yeah 'round that

[foggy geyser]

yeah im good

[nova wren]

Lol

[foggy geyser]

probally for the best lmao

[pearl cedar]

yeah uhh your friend uh made us confused stonks
