understandable, lemme guess something about the airbag, one, imma stop the work on it, two, imma make other mods instead, three, after a while of learning more about mods, imma work on the airbag again, for clarification
#mods-discussion

foggy geyser
the airbag is a little to hard to work on, the jbeam isnt hard, its the lua with the postbreakdetection thing, and the hydros in the jbeam and getting the detection to detect the actual hydro to inflate the airbag and actually work, hydros is what makes beams exspand, so if i can do that, the air bag will work fine, but then if my jbeam is to high detail in jbeam, the jbeam can just break when the post break detection lua makes the hydro go off, that is one of the issues JsZ had with the air bag mod of his, which is private, he got it to work but making it a little better than just a cube jbeam was harder.
and i need to understand and be able to atleast have a decent understanding in how to write luas.
but i think either way, i need to learn a little more about jbeams with making other smaller mods that require some basic .lua files
devout solstice

foggy geyser
like, maybe headlights and tailights that are custom and i can work on the Jbeam, and also maybe add a lua that could work with it, can also help me learn how to texture things alot better

i pretty much got ahead of myself, thought it was gonna be easy, and over welmed myself with to much knowledge at a time and well just pretty much failed, the model is fine tho, i already have two airbags, one passenger, and one driver, for the ETK 800, which is good, so yeah thats really it

If you're using a FH4 model, the devs aren't going to care lol

If only we could use blend shapes, airbags would become a lot easier
As far as the sensing goes though, that's pretty easy

You can create a few sensing beams, and check what kind of force is on them via lua

What is blend shapes?
onyx dirge
(Called Shape Keys in Blender)
used to move between 2 different sets of vertices basically

It's just blending to make the shape smoother, it has nothing to do with animation

Yeah, and it's really outdated, and at times just dosen't preform well. and then both sounds of it are pretty outdated and don't work well.

i mean there's a lot of mods using outdated sounds though, usually legacy audio or just the default engine sound that every car used to share. i don't think that even scratches the surface of it

it's not my internet. if it was, it would be taking significantly longer than him

How hard would it be to make some custom drive modes? Something like the ETK 800 drift mode
I've been looking at the drive modes .jbeam file, but don't really understand it, for example, this is one of the lines in the drift mode section:
["controller", {"controllerName":"adaptiveFrontDamper", "damperMode":"hard"}]
I found configurations of the dampers in the front suspension .jbeam , there indeed was "soft", "normal", and "hard", but the actual phrase "damperMode" was nowhere to be found...
How does the game know what does "damperMode" refer to?
I just wanna do like 3 modes with custom names, each having different turbo wastegate settings and gear ratios

doesn't make a difference
just because you have windows defender doesn't make you invincible
polar cedar
and those sites steal mods anyway so even if they're virus free, they're still scummy
devout solstice
no?
not always
the defender needs to be updated when they find a new malicious sw
they can be very late on those updates
polar cedar
why wouldn't you upload it to the official beamng website
devout solstice
because look at the mod
you reuploaded it
it's a garbage mod
I don't need to
is it a meshlap
or scratch jbeam
polar cedar
did you make this mod?
do you have permission to reupload it
did the original creator say you can reupload it
devout solstice
So you didn't have permission
polar cedar
nobody is born with mesh making abilities
devout solstice
Then learn instead of stealing and reuploading other peoples hard work
hard work doesn't count as meshlapping
So then why be a leaker
Acquiring the leaked mods is something, but reuploading is too much
especially without permission
And you're implying like you made the mod
before telling us all this
Don't give me all this bs
You know it's wrong and there aren't any excuses
polar cedar
you are supporting leaking/stealing mods and trying to justify it by saying it happens a lot
why not just not support that

for being so about the modding it has some of the worse docs I know of
That's why to learn modding in BeamNG, retro-engineering is the best way
latent ivy
but a lot of the lua funcs and stuff
either tell you what they do
or are C++
and you cant know
so you literally have to figure out what you can do via what has been done
dusk dragon
Well yeah
But after LUA is not that important, you can do a shit ton of things with jbeam only
latent ivy
yeah but not all of us want to do jbeam
like the only reason I have gotten tire thermals to work is none of the tire stuff was C++
so I could spend some time figuring out how stuff worked
but it would have been 10x faster if there was docs

I'm thinking of making a mod for BeamNG.drive but I don't know what car to make. Any suggestions or requests?

Not a bad shout. I might give it a go. Could be a pain to model though.

Nice work , well , an entire car still ambitious since you need a lot of things more than just a model
brittle flint
Yeah, I just figured if I could make a model, that's gotta be the hardest bit right?
ocean flower
For you no lol
You'll need jbeam , texturing knowledge
And a lot of other small stuff depending on the result you want
Modelling (even more for you) would be the easiest part
brittle flint
Yeah. It will take me a while, but I am gonna persevere and make a decent high quality mod.
ocean flower
My point is , you should start with smaller stuff to get into the jbeam world
brittle flint
Also, I wouldn't say I find modelling easy. That Aston took ages to do.
brittle flint
Yeah.
brittle flint
After asking on other social medias as well, I have had far more requests for a Camaro, so I will do that. It's also probably a bit easier to model.
brittle flint
I might try it one day.

do you think there would be a way to make the headlights indestructible
https://www.beamng.com/resources/indestructible-vehicles.14818/ try this, it should still work.
pure obsidian
i have that mod
i mean only one part not break
so the vehicle wotuld still break but the headlighs wouldnt
devout solstice
I mean you can take the deform groups out
it's just commenting out one line of code
takes about 10 seconds
devout solstice
you have to go into the mod files itself
find where it's located
or the vanilla vehicles file, whichever car you want indestructible
pure obsidian
i cant do it with the tilde key thing
devout solstice
to comment out a section of code
it's just typing "//" behind the code you want cancelled
pure obsidian
ok
devout solstice
that's why you go to the file that's name is related to the headlights
pure obsidian
ok
devout solstice
it could be named headlight.jbeam
pure obsidian
ok

and just look at the first 10 lines or so
there should be something that's called deformGroup
just comment that out

has anyone seen this parking space trigger? I swear I have never seen this till now
it looks to be like a regular trigger
but I have never seen anything on it or about it
feral anchor
wouldn't that be for the deprecated garage mode?
the other parking triggers' names make me think it might be used for some new scenarios or functions down the road
sweet jetty
🤔
latent ivy
Well the reason I think it is new is the Dealer stuff
which has apeared in lua
it mixed with exploration is related to the buying and selling of vehicles + storing them in a garage. So I just wanted to know if this existed prior to these or if these all appeared at the same time
feral anchor
isn't there like a campaign mode we were supposed to get? or am i mistaking that for the series of scenarios we already got...
I've always wondered what it would be like if a beamng mode existed that had a sense of progression to it
latent ivy
you are talking about career, but this sounds like that sorta
where you have funds, get rewards, etc
feral anchor
that's what it is, yes
im imagining some job based thing, where you can do deliveries, be public transport or win races to have an income
and spend it on more and more cars from dealerships
which would also make sense with all the dealerships they added to the maps...
feral anchor
yeah, it could theoretically be done
latent ivy
dealers where you buy cars and playerHQ where you can store and view them
its all currently there, there is just nothing using it
latent ivy
it says exploration.lua was moified on 3/29/2021, but that may have been me so
this + the few vulkan strings I have found + the metric ton of pbr strings and related files sounds like stuff gettin interesting 👀
sweet jetty
dealers where you buy cars and playerHQ where you can store and view them
playerHQ?
latent ivy
playerHQ aka garage
if locationInfo.type == 'site' and (locationInfo.subtype == 'playerHQ' or locationInfo.subtype == 'vendor') then
core_gamestate.setGameState("scenario", {}, 'freeroam')
local vehicle = be:getPlayerVehicle(0)
vehicle:queueLuaCommand('controller.setFreeze(1)')
extensions.core_input_bindings.menuActive(true)
state.missionExtraUiOpened = true
local mode
local vehiclesList
local money
if locationInfo.subtype == 'playerHQ' then
mode = 'garage'
vehiclesList = core_inventory.getItemList('$$$_VEHICLES')
else
mode = 'dealer'
vehiclesList = campaign_dealer.getStock('$$$_VEHICLES')
money = core_inventory.getItemList('$$$_MONEY')
end
= release date of 0.22 🕵️
feral anchor
as someone who loves progression portrayed through filling your garage (a la games like test drive unlimited and SLRR) I absolutely love the idea of this
sweet jetty
agree
latent ivy
there is also
an interesting 3rd option
guihooks.trigger('ChangeState', {state = 'garageProto.menu.select', params = {vehicles = vehiclesList, mode=mode, money = money}})
elseif locationInfo.type == 'site' and locationInfo.subtype == 'photoMode' then

if we actually get dealers with physical cars on the showroom floor, I think it'd be pretty sick if it had an experience like both of those games
things like being able to choose between a few colors and minor options if you're buying a new car, meanwhile you get what you get with a used car
latent ivy
if we actually get dealers with physical cars on the showroom floor, I think it'...
my guess is that is that these gameplay areas on utah are for
since they are directional
and facing out of the spot, not in
and its right next to a car dealer
feral anchor
yeah, I also noticed a couple of the dealerships in West Coast USA have actual interiors
even if you can't walk into them
which would make sense for a physical showroom floor
latent ivy
also, dont forgot
on the parking trigger
there was one method called "DealerDisplayDrivable"

then we can expect an update with updated textures? or what?

how did you make/find it?
custom ingame one using a shader I made
mixed with CK's fake flakes spec thing
sweet jetty
custom ingame one using a shader I made
so you made a pbr shader?
latent ivy
no the shader I did was not pbr due to limitations
it just did some look-alike carpaint
sweet jetty
oh, okay
latent ivy
but the pbr code is in the shaders already, its just not used
feral anchor
hmm. it's honestly not something I notice when it's not there, but when you put it up against pbr shaders it makes the original look like trash lol
cloud pike
carpaint
cars not using dynamic reflections should look significantly better now too, night time with dynamic reflections off is pretty bad since it uses a daytime cubemap

feral anchor
well, for the time it did
sweet jetty

it had a lot of relatively good things, it was just hampered by frustratingly difficult gameplay and instability/crashes
you could be in a race, finish it and then have your opponent plow into you at full speed and bam, your entire car is gone
