Would give more motivation to finish

plush glade
#

so lj can relez ibish carmel

ocean flower
#

Perhaps i'm not ready for it lmao , but well , point is clear

polar cedar
#

Actually, Why dont the meshslap sites charge for some mods rn

#

Im not in favour of it, but nobodys stopping them because its their own site

ocean flower
#

Well , meshslap sites are stolen / leaked stuff too , if they monetize it , they would have legal problems i guess

plush glade
#

they would anyways

#

because they did not get permission to reupload open source material

ocean flower
#

Yeah still dunno why they actually didn't xD

plush glade
#

:P

#

and they do earn money

#

with ad revenue

#

@polar cedar wanna make bets in how many seconds the s15 would be on stmods or something

ocean flower
#

Bet the first site will be WorldOfLeaks

polar cedar
#

Im guessing 1000

#

Maybe 3600

#

Would payed mods drive people away from those sites

plush glade
polar cedar
#

Because then theyd get less ad revenue

plush glade
polar cedar
#

If theyre awake then yeah few minutes

ocean flower
plush glade
#

because the type of people that use those mods would pay for them

#

for idk

polar cedar
#

Ah πŸ˜”

Beamng crash complilation luxury supercar carkiller #344535 (Halal dowload 720p no virus)

#

where you see a bolide aventador meshslap

ocean flower
#

Lmao

polar cedar
#

Bolide aventador with popups and stock bolide rims

spiral roost
#

That is the correct site for the crd monster truck as that is where they moved everything

#

Can someone make a late model diet car. I know it a lot but we have dirt tracks, bit no cars.

#

*Dirt

ocean flower
#

What about make it by youself

sharp cradle
feral anchor
#

ah yes, diet car

waxen belfry
ocean flower
#

Nobody will make you an entire car for free

#

Just cause you ask

waxen belfry
#

Stfu single ass. You wonder why you can't pull girls and you sitting over here on the queue for 600lb life.

ocean flower
#

Wonderful

feral anchor
#

beginning to think this server needs an age verification

ocean flower
#

Why i even waste time on explaining the same shit to 11-yo kids

waxen belfry
#

That one moment when the 36 in his mom's basement thinks he makes a point.

ocean flower
#

36? I sound that mature ? Well thanks :D

waxen belfry
ocean flower
#

Your age is confirm

feral anchor
#

children usually think anything above 20y/o is an insult for some reason

ocean flower
#

Using a meme as argument is indeed a child-ish thing lmao

waxen belfry
#

Wrong server

waxen belfry
latent ivy
#

I went away for 2 seconds what happened here

ocean flower
#

Just a random underage insulting me

feral anchor
#

yeah, I'm having a conversation with my coworker while watching this shit storm. lmao

ocean flower
#

I'm working on the bus and reading lol

latent ivy
#

how about them mods tho

waxen belfry
feral anchor
#

discord tells the whole ass server you're typing even if you just have text in the message bar. wild shit

ocean flower
latent ivy
#

Im excited for when PBR comes out, I cant wait to be able to make maps and stuff that look good owo

ocean flower
#

Interesting stuff

latent ivy
#

hopefully the material system isnt as annoying to use as it currently is

feral anchor
#

maps that look good? i mean

latent ivy
#

where it just randomly forgets you created stuff

feral anchor
#

to be honest, I hope the whole map creating system on its own gets revitalized

latent ivy
#

same, its very weird and tedious

#

same with cars. I wish cars had a better creation tool

feral anchor
#

it kind of seems like nothing can compare to the level of detail put into an official beam map

latent ivy
#

because right now you basically just gotta use notepad

waxen belfry
ocean flower
#

beamng modding easier? that will never happen

feral anchor
#

don't ask me

latent ivy
feral anchor
#

im not a mod creator

ocean flower
#

Maybe for complicated stuff like lua

feral anchor
#

nor would I be handing that info out to people who attack others in public servers for no reason

latent ivy
#

for a lot of lua stuff yeah

#

like if you want a custom screen, you gotta dig

ocean flower
#

But all the small stuff i did was just taking as example the vanilla cars

latent ivy
#

there is no docs for really any lua

ocean flower
#

Or even some things written by me (with templates files)

waxen belfry
#

Anybody on this server know a good modding platform to build cars?

ocean flower
#

No

latent ivy
#

define modding platform

latent ivy
#

it makes things so confusing

ocean flower
#

He want an easy tool to make professional cars i bet

ocean flower
#

I haven't worked with common folder that often thankfully

waxen belfry
ocean flower
#

Since miramar / barstow / city bus has their own folder

feral anchor
#

tbh though, ive always wondered what it'd be like if they took the best parts of automation and brought them into beamng

latent ivy
#

but trying to figure out how to make a mod with vanilla vehicles makes stuff hard because of that common folder

#

like yoinking wheels and stuff

ocean flower
feral anchor
#

like being able to modify a car's engine from square one right in beamng

ocean flower
#

Wheels must be a cancer

devout solstice
#

I'm so confused what happened

latent ivy
#

also all the meshes overlapping and stuff, 100% confusing for the newbie modder

ocean flower
#

Not even worth to explain

#

Scroll a bit up i dont want to re-explain it lol

latent ivy
#

almost like having docs is important for game modding

#

considering GTA 5, a game with no official tools, has better modding docs

waxen belfry
ocean flower
#

Like the wendover which has a separated interior and exterior parts

ocean flower
#

you can't even spell daxie right

latent ivy
ocean flower
#

Just ignore him lmao

waxen belfry
ocean flower
#

What the heck i did you lol

devout solstice
#

I read over the chat. Outlaw, you came aggressive at him first. Dax was just stating a point every modder will give when someone asks someone else to make mods.

latent ivy
#

^

ocean flower
#

^ x2

feral anchor
#

fax

latent ivy
devout solstice
#

It's just the reality of it. We don't make mods for the satisfaction of other people. We definitely will not waste a couple months of our lives just to make someone happy.

ocean flower
#

At this point i should stop answering those type of messages

waxen belfry
latent ivy
#

now we talkin

#

what is your price point

feral anchor
#

guess how much you're gonna pay for a handmade beam mod tho πŸ‘οΈ πŸ‘„ πŸ‘οΈ

ocean flower
#

"Sensitive"

devout solstice
#

I'm not being sensitive, I'm just giving out a statement all modders would state back to you.

ocean flower
#

-tell him to learn modding
-insult me on 35 languages

Physically based rendering (PBR) is a computer graphics approach that seeks to render images in a way that models the flow of light in the real world. Many PBR pipelines aim to achieve photorealism. Feasible and quick approximations of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function and rendering equation are of mathematical importance in ...

devout solstice
#

it's coming to beam?

ocean flower
#

Apparently

latent ivy
#

definitely

#

and probably very soon

devout solstice
#

oh that lag we're going to face

latent ivy
#

pbr isnt that expensive

#

not much more expensive then spec/gloss

devout solstice
#

So it's just a simpler version of all our normal, color and spec maps?

latent ivy
waxen belfry
#

Have y'all had trouble with the General Lee mod?

latent ivy
#

spec gloss is an aproximation, but you can have stuff like a light bouncing out more energy then it gets and metals looking like plastics

devout solstice
#

or just the vehicle

latent ivy
#

depends on how they impliment it

#

but based on this code

devout solstice
#

ah understandable

latent ivy
#

it will implement clearcoat 2 layers

#

so maybe it will start with the car

devout solstice
#

so no longer 3 layers?

latent ivy
#

beamng right now is 0 layer paint

#

its plastic

#

but car paint is multiple layers

devout solstice
#

ah yes I was thinking about the car paint

latent ivy
#

and based on the fact that its clearcoat dual normal

#

means glossy carbon fiber type stuff may be do-able

waxen belfry
latent ivy
#

why would I know

devout solstice
#

good, a step into the better graphics lol

devout solstice
#

that'll look so much better than the existing one

#

Lucas will be able to implement that to his Genesis

waxen belfry
latent ivy
#

I posted this last time the car paint was brought up but it still feels like a good comparison so

#

beamng now

#

beamng + some carpaint

devout solstice
#

Wait hold up, are those both in beam though

latent ivy
latent ivy
ocean flower
#

Amazing

latent ivy
#

so it likely looks worse then it would actually

devout solstice
#

yeah if it's the second one that's coming to beam, I can't wait

#

but maybe it'll need to be toned down a bit, it's too, detailed for beam?

#

I don't know how to explain it lmao

latent ivy
#

there are lines talking about clearcoat in the hlsl files so it should be

devout solstice
#

it looks too clean to be in beam

latent ivy
#

well this was my implimentation

#

that was a literal hack

#

so likely the official one would be 10x better

devout solstice
#

dyk an approx date it'll be released?

latent ivy
#

no clue really, im guessing next few updates

#

since there is a LOT of code for it

devout solstice
#

yep, but it's worth it

latent ivy
#

I mean a lot of code actually in the game right now

#

like a suprising about lmao

ocean flower
#

Do you think modding itself will turn easier with more updates?

#

For me , i don't think so

devout solstice
#

no I don't this so either

#

to put it simply

latent ivy
#

I dont think so either, maybe there will be better docs but

devout solstice
#

the more arguments there are, the more flexible your vehicle will be

#

flexible as in features

ocean flower
#

yeah

latent ivy
#

I do wish setting up nodes/beams/coltris was easier though

#

and exporting meshes for levels

ocean flower
latent ivy
#

like a proper app for it

#

would be nice

ocean flower
#

One of the mods i'm about to finish well , i'm stuck at the nb

latent ivy
#

I dont think there is one app that allows you to work with all of it

devout solstice
#

wdym?

latent ivy
#

there was that blender plugin but that just dumped the node/beams

ocean flower
#

NBEditor helps with beams

ocean flower
latent ivy
#

there is no all in one tool for creating the nodes and the beams and the part groups and stuff like that

devout solstice
#

nbe helps with visualization, that's all I use it for

latent ivy
#

there is no 'do all the .jbeam work' tool

ocean flower
#

Yeah , that would be awesome

latent ivy
#

maybe once the game reaches beta there will be one

ocean flower
#

Could be

devout solstice
#

at this rate, we'll prolly all be dead by beta

latent ivy
#

when the game released I was just becoming a teen

#

and now I can legally drink

feral anchor
#

same

#

except i can legally drink in 3 months

latent ivy
#

youngin

feral anchor
#

meanwhile in other countries, they can inhale vodka through their eye sockets by 17

ocean flower
#

lmao

#

my classmates

shadow gorge
#

what the hell happened here

feral anchor
#

that was 2 hours ago my guy, don't worry about it

gritty osprey
#

i made a skin but it doesnt show in the parts menu what do i do?

night narwhal
#

Not showing in parts menu is a jbeam/folder issue, AFAIK

gritty osprey
#

ok

#

also do i need to keep it on the car outline?

polar cedar
latent ivy
#

same!

#

I cant wait till I can make some dope looking assets

#

having beamng vehicles that dont look just solid clean plastic

polar cedar
#

Yeah, gonna be wild

#

Way better metals and metallics too

latent ivy
#

me being able to texture stuff correctly is gunna be hot

polar cedar
#

Yeah

latent ivy
#

throw a car in mari for a skin πŸ‘€

shadow gorge
latent ivy
#

im more interested in the entire game becoming pbr though

#

being able to make pbr environments owo

shadow gorge
#

I can hear my computer screaming

latent ivy
#

PBR is not much more intense then current spec gloss

shadow gorge
#

well thats good

latent ivy
#

a lot of the stuff that is usually brought in with it by other games is

#

like better reflections or proper AO or better shadows or dynamic GI, etc

#

but I have not seen anything about those

#

so no clue if they are coming or not, I doubt it

polar cedar
#

How much different and better would pbr maps look?

latent ivy
#

thats a really old pic

#

but gives an idea

polar cedar
#

Oh well then i hope its not just vehicles

feral anchor
#

damn, the beamng forums really do be the epitome of having something you wanna do in your mind as a mod, but running out of motivation to do it

latent ivy
#

how so?

feral anchor
#

i only say that because I went down a little trip through memory lane and looked through the history of the mods section, all the threads left in WIP or cancelled

latent ivy
#

ah yee

feral anchor
#

kind of reminds me of the time when I didn't realize how long it took to make a mod

#

i wanted to make some cars from the old chrysler LX platform, just because nobody had done it yet. lol

#

so like the 2005-2010 chrysler 300, dodge charger and dodge magnum

latent ivy
#

the community sure doesnt help either

#

from both sides

polar cedar
#

Its hard with how little amount of people properly know how to make cars and jbeam

latent ivy
#

then maybe some modders need to be a bit nicer and more open πŸ™‚

#

not talkin anyone in specific

#

just somethings that have happened in the pat

feral anchor
#

tru

#

it's something I'd like to learn one day, but baby steps. I'm not trying to make a literal 1:1 creation of the quality level that the official cars have

feral anchor
#

but I also have different expectations.. I don't really give a damn about detail in collisions as much as I do the driving experience

#

which is the whole reason I came back to beamng, when cars started feeling more like... cars

#

and less like driving on ice lol

polar cedar
#

Lol

latent ivy
#

I like both

feral anchor
#

that's fair. for me, it's the one game that scratches that sim driving, sim racing itch that other games don't for me

#

so I tend to care about things like cockpit/interior quality and driving experience the most

#

which i guess is why i don't like automation cars cough cough

polar cedar
#

Yeah

#

They have none of that

#

Just the fact that you can drive your creations

latent ivy
#

also automation cars crash like a rock

#

feels like running an rc car into the wall vs a real car

polar cedar
#

Agreed

latent ivy
#

and then you got the lack of docs

polar cedar
#

Ikr

#

Hopefully the new website will bring more though

latent ivy
#

they used to have proper LUA docs

#

like every lua func

#

but poof gone

#

so now you gotta learn obscure lua funcs from other mods

#

until those mods become paid and obfuscated to hell like seus ptgi

feral anchor
#

also I take a LOT of screenshots, so that pbr thing is definitely πŸ‘οΈ from me

latent ivy
#

yee im getting a good example of the difference between pbr and spec/gloss

feral anchor
#

anything that'll make the game look more eye-candy is pretty good in my book

#

considering on its own, on a 1440p ultrawide the game kinda looks a little derpy

polar cedar
#

I bet it does

#

Just different amounts of shinyness plastics tbh

pearl cedar
#

how do i access engine sounds?

polar cedar
#

Isnt the sounds folder password locked

latent ivy
#

the audio.zip is locked and the fmod bank is encrypted iirc

pearl cedar
#

is there any way i could access it?

latent ivy
#

well I know the audio.zip is locked because I know the password but no clue on the fmod bank

feral anchor
#

if it's encrypted, i would assume the answer is probably a strooooong no

pearl cedar
#

hmm

shadow gorge
#

why is it passcode locked?

latent ivy
#

licensing likely

pearl cedar
#

ight i posted a thread in the mods forum lets see if i can get any clue

trim ruin
#

Hey I've got a qustion. Why do people keep mods private? Does it cost money to upload them? Is it because they don't want hate or something?

latent ivy
#

because the community can be quite toxic at times so people dont want to deal with it

#

people leaking stuff and whatnot

feral anchor
#

there are people who keep mods private in order to get money out of them, but that's usually a rare situation

polar cedar
#

Or theyre meshslaps that they just like to give to big youtubers

feral anchor
#

i was gonna say, that too

polar cedar
#

Or they get banned and actually cant post the mod lol

feral anchor
#

just out of curiosity I looked around to see if anybody did make any of the original chrysler LX platform cars... people sure did, they're just all private meshslaps on youtube with a shitload of algorithm-gaming tags on it in order to farm youtube revenue

polar cedar
#

Or they end up not finishing it becaus they think its bad like ive done a lot

latent ivy
feral anchor
#

shhhh you're giving them ideas lmao

latent ivy
#

the 7 page paid mods thread already gave them it

#

because everyone wants another PTGI where all the code is obfuscated and the mod is updated once a month slowly and if you want to have updates you have to shell out 10 bucks a month every month

#

like

#

remember when you could just use a cdae

#

and everyone only used cdae instantly

#

because then no one could open the model in blender

feral anchor
#

I'm a patron for a modding tool for a completely different game and I usually just donate once, download it and then come back in like a year when the new features are worth it

latent ivy
#

patreon where you get in dev stuff only works if stuff leaves dev at a logical time

#

but again, everyone wants to be ptgi

#

so you want to give the modders, who dont want you to even be able to mod their mods, the ability to milk money from people

#

(not you specifically but the general you)

feral anchor
#

i don't even know the context for that because idk what ptgi is

latent ivy
#

seus ptgi

#

a shader for minecraft

#

that has been behind a pateron paywall for

#

mmmmmmmm

#

2-3 years now

#

and its obfuscated to hell and back

feral anchor
#

oh. huh

#

i have that on my copy of minecraft, but I don't recall ever paying for it... matter of fact, my friend just gave it to me and said "here, you'll want this"

#

oopsie

latent ivy
#

welcome to 'mod piracy'

feral anchor
#

i think that might be the first time I've ever unknowingly pirated something lmao

#

my friend never informed us that it was a paid thing or anything like that, we just assumed it was freeware

latent ivy
#

you would because your average mod basically is

#

but the tides are shifting and now every mod is on pateron

feral anchor
#

yeah exactly, nothing gave me a hunch that it was paid

latent ivy
#

I literally saw the other day a simple minecraft plugin for 15 bucks patreon

#

😐

#

you can give other patreon incentives, but the mod itself shouldnt be one dang it

feral anchor
#

i mean I get it, but I think you'd probably be a more positively looked at member of the community if you simply didn't paywall your entire creation

#

kind of like the Assetto corsa mod manager

#

you can use it for basic stuff but you get access to things like direct mod installation for paying for it, which I think makes sense

latent ivy
#

yeah stuff like that is ok

#

or like

#

you get in between update versions

#

or you get updates 2 weeks early

#

stuff like that

#

patreon should be a bonus not a store

#

also random off topic, god I hope that japan.dae leak becomes an actual map

feral anchor
#

agreed

#

it's funny how many racing and driving games avoid japan as a setting specifically

latent ivy
#

im just driving around on it and I like its vibe

#

xD

#

idk how else to describe it

feral anchor
#

i haven't tried it or seen it

polar cedar
#

even though its got amazing mountain roads for touge or just cruising

feral anchor
#

only heard of it

#

also it has a gorgeously vertical metropolis

polar cedar
#

yeah

latent ivy
#

I really want a suburban map

#

something not dense and closed in like west coast

shadow gorge
#

ooo what's happening here

latent ivy
#

but not as open as east coast

feral anchor
#

i mean, there's that one suburban map... but it's woefully unfinished

latent ivy
#

a proper suburban map

#

that is not giant for no reason

polar cedar
#

i like garfield height quite a lot

#

its kinda suburban

#

it's just unfinished

feral anchor
#

I'm not a huge fan of it because it's pretty much just a bunch of houses with like a single gas station and a school building

polar cedar
#

i mean yeah it's quite bare, but there's not much else like it

feral anchor
#

although I'm curious to see if people start using the new walk mode to their advantage in map making in the future

polar cedar
#

wcusa has that little town area which i like quite a bit too

latent ivy
#

I have been tempted to just yoink some open streetmap data + terrain party data and make a proper suburban area

feral anchor
#

things like adding building interiors for, y'know... garages, showrooms, etc

latent ivy
#

mainly just waiting for pbr

polar cedar
#

i want to aswell but maps really aren't my thing yet

feral anchor
#

i'd want to make a slightly more accurate east coast usa that is more like where I live

#

because believe it or not, we don't all live in tiny villages in the middle of giant forests lol

latent ivy
#

east coast is in maine iirc

feral anchor
#

and yes, we have supermarkets and schools and factories too

#

yeah it is

latent ivy
#

yet it has a washington dc num

feral anchor
#

i used to live in maine, but it still wasn't totally like that

#

east coast usa feels like it's made of the most desolate parts of maine

#

areas like Eliot where the population is 600 max

latent ivy
#

yeah I feel like it is lmao

#

because idk about you

#

but when I think east coast

#

I dont think maine

feral anchor
#

I do, but that's because I live around there lol

#

I'm still close, in new hampshire

latent ivy
#

your average person doesnt is what I mean lol

#

so it was kinda an odd choice

#

like for west coast its clearly socal

feral anchor
#

well if they ever choose to do an east coast city, they ought to do something more widely recognized like boston

unreal mirage
#

correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure this is not how turbos work

latent ivy
#

oh and also going way back to that pbr chat... if pbr does come out for environments then I can use my photogrammetry assets πŸ‘€

feral anchor
#

i kind of wonder what an 01-05 pessima would look like...

ember crater
#

Who made that

feral anchor
#

oh damn, there is actually one. interesting

#

Sorry but can anyone tell me why I can search up mods? Everytime I try to say something in the search bar it just goes away and stays at the first repository page πŸ“„.

feral anchor

because you can't just speak into your mic to search mods ingame... the game isn't google

try typing

feral anchor
#

like it's been said many times before

#

people are flaky like that when the community itself can be that toxic

south hazel
#

every community has its dose of modding toxicit

feral anchor
#

tbf it feels like it's worse with this game imo, i just can't pinpoint what it is

#

dunno if it's jealousy, the fact that the game attracts kids, or if it's just the whole forums aspect of it

runic smelt
#

I have the mod will i not be able to use it anymore?

feral anchor

unless the modder comes to your house and hijacks your pc to uninstall it, you would still be able to use it

The jbeam is the whole physics, and since BeamNG uses its own physics engine, you have to know how it wall works
On top of that, you have to design it physically correct, but also design it in a way where the density of the structure isn't too little, or too much

#

There are Nodes, which are essentially ball bearings, and Beams, which connect these
Since a node is like a ball bearing, it can move freely in any direction, anything attached can rotate freely
You have to constrain nodes from all 3 directions (XYZ) for them to actually stick in place

#

(Yellow: wheel hub, Blue: double wishbones, Red: shock/spring)

#

So even a basic double wishbone suspension is ~10 nodes, at least 15 beams (too lazy to properly count)
then you get the wheel attached, you have to figure out steering components, make it strong enough to hold the wheel in any situation
make it so it doesn't go weird in extreme crashes, etc

#

Suspensions alone take a good deal of work

#

Then you get to the car

#

You could make a basic fender jbeam like I did in orange

#

but that'll just flop around on it's own

#

since there's no constraints on the X axis

#

So you gotta hook that all up properly, make sure it deforms properly, attach it to the vehicle, etc

#

Even once you have things physically setup, there's still a ton of trial and error in the tweaking phase

#

@latent ivy ^

#

tl;dr is, there's a bunch of knowledge required of BeamNG, you have to know how vehicles physically work, and it's a lot of time and effort

#

Also why meshslaps suck, they usually don't account for proper suspension types, handling, and a vehicles physical properties.

does someone have a Daytona type map

i wonder if there's a diesel piccolina πŸ€”

ocean flower
#

please tell me you are joking

latent ivy
#

why is beamng terrain editing

#

the buggiest thing in existence

ocean flower
#

cause yes

latent ivy
#

the entire ui poofs sometimes when editing terrain

#

sometimes it just doesnt apply your paint material

#

it also did a CTD right after I stopped recording

#

now I cant even change texture scale

#

plus if I save and leave the level then go into any other, CTD

#

how do you make an editor this bad

#

I cant even do anything for 2-3 min when I first load the editor, because my fps goes to 3 and gpu usage to 100 for 0 reason

#

because 2-3 min later, 100fps and 20% gpu usage

#

just by sitting there

latent ivy
#

also the fact you cant adjust terrain resolution, why. like seriously

#

What programs do people use to make a car mods/edits?

humble dragon
#

Not new to installing mods to games just beamNG i can't find the "READ ME" text anywhere and I followed the steps on the Video but my charger didn't show in the car list in game

sharp cradle
#

Just drop the file into the mods folder inside of 0.22

#

No need to extract

#

Also, beware of mods downloaded from sites other than the official beam.ng website

#

It's rare but people have caught viruses in the past from other websites

humble dragon
#

i did that but still nothing in game

sharp cradle
#

Did you extract the zip?

humble dragon
#

shxt i didn't read what you said lol

humble dragon

That must be why

#

Delete the files you extracted

And place the zip

ok thanks

also how can i enable traffic?

that pops up when you press esc

shadow gorge
#

there is a fd on the forums

feral anchor
#

speaking of, is the FD still broken?

#

i recall it causing crashes when you tried to spawn about half of the configs

shadow gorge
#

but it only spawns with steelies

feral anchor
#

ill have to try it again. usually when a mod causes a CTD ill end up disabling it until a fix is released for it, so i haven't tried it since it crashed on me

sweet jetty
#

HellO!

#

My Utah Extra still not separated from the original Utah

personally i had to delete it and redownload/install manually but maybe it just hadnt updated on in game repo yet

mine was fine

#

downloaded the new one, removed the old one, put the new one in and boom its working fine and separated

dusk dragon
#

Do you think modders should have the possibility to make paid mods ?

wise pumice
#

Definitely.

#

Some modders already have Patreons.

dusk dragon
#

I think the same

#

Modding BeamNG is harder and harder after every update

#

maybe in 2016 it was not needed since making mods was easy, but in 2021 to make a small thing you need already 1 week of work

wise pumice
#

Look, I'll put it this way; if I can get your mods for $2 a month, I'd do it.

feral anchor
#

if i were able to support a modder that i really like for a monthly fee on a platform that wouldn't inconvenience me in the long run, i'd do it

dusk dragon
devout solstice
#

bro some should be like 1k

feral anchor
#

that would work too, but it would depend on the content of course

#

yeah obviously they'd be expensive, but you'd offset the cost by offering it to anyone... not just a single buyer that's going to use it in an overly monetized car crash video and then have it never see the light of day again

devout solstice
#

someone make a fully working helicarrier and I'll pay them a grand

feral anchor
#

i simply can't justify paying that much for any mod... but for me, the kind of mod i'd pay that much for would be a car that'd probably be difficult to make because there's not much documentation on it

#

at least in terms of 3d models

dusk dragon
feral anchor
#

yeah, i wouldn't exactly call my desired mods little. lol

#

i'd probably have a better chance in seeing them ingame by learning beamng modding, but i'm kind of afraid of suffering burnout from beamng as a result

dusk dragon
#

the worst

#

is the time it takes to make just one mod

feral anchor
#

exactly

dusk dragon
#

like, 6 months to make a car, I can't do that, I don't have the motivation to make just one thing in 6 months

feral anchor
#

like for example, i'm interested in making some cars that aren't exactly seen in games frequently at all... particularly cars from around the 2000s that i'm nostalgic for, having grown up in an area where people loved their cars

dusk dragon
#

I don't have anything against meshslap as soon as they're well made

feral anchor
#

it'd have to be more than that, because i'm looking to have a fully working cockpit area

drifting sentinel
feral anchor
#

working gauge clusters, working wheel at the bare minimum, interior illumination upon turning on the headlights, things like that

#

those are things i'd have to learn lol

dusk dragon
drifting sentinel
#

that was not the point?

dusk dragon
dusk dragon
drifting sentinel
#

which meshlaps are "well made"

#

your standards are probably very low, i presume then

wise pumice
#

The C6 Corvette is almost well made.

dusk dragon
feral anchor
#

he literally said a meshslap is fine as long as it's well made, he didn't imply there's a bunch of them...

#

hell, he didn't even say any of them exist yet lol

drifting sentinel
feral anchor
#

but yeah, if you're talking about the c6 corvette from agents mod pack, i'd agree

dusk dragon
#

Yeah. A meshslap is the fact to use an existing jbeam with a new 3D model of body. If you move all the nodes at the right place and that it look good, it's a good meshslap

feral anchor
#

i don't care about crashing as much as i do driving, so i enjoy it

drifting sentinel
#

and you won't show us a good example, because that would make you a servant? lol

dusk dragon
feral anchor
#

rrc...

#

that sounds familiar

wise pumice
feral anchor
#

ah, okay, right

#

i know why it sounded familiar. i forgot about that audi s3/rs3 meshslap as well lol

wise pumice
#

I downloaded it, forgot about it, it accidentally popped up in my traffic and genuinely scared me because at the time I had no recollection of installing it.

feral anchor
#

yeah, it's easy to forget about when it's so much of a meshslap that it's buried in the vivace spawnmenu lol

wise pumice
#

It was a meshslap of another mod already, wasn't it? I think you had to have the FCV sedan installed for it to work :P

feral anchor
#

that would make sense

#

but yeah, maybe i will try with something as simple as modifying an existing jbeam onto my model and see how i like it. lol

#

i've got nothing to do rn but go to work, so i might as well try to learn something

You search wrongly then

I don't think so , you can learn blender basic tho (For move objects and etc)

#

@latent ivy do you remember when that skoda mod worked?

#

then it is outdated and the publisher has to fix it

#

the AN 12 mod should work though i think there is a fix on the forums

#

let me try to find it

#

delete the AN 12 mod you have now

#

the file called
"an12works_with_021.zip" it should work

#

what do you mean?

#

you place the .zip into the mods folder as it is

#

dont extract it

latent ivy
#

you dont have to extract files

cloud pike
#

not every mod needs the same amount of files

latent ivy
#

just put the zip in the mod folder and start the game

#

devs made this super simple tbh

cloud pike
#

to mods

#

i just tested it now btw it works fine

#

you should, open the launcher and press manage user folder

#

then open in explorer

#

there should be mods folder

#

well all of the official mods from beamng site are placed into here, it's much easier and also has less chance of breaking your game later

#

when you press "open in explorer" it should look like this

#

then just place the .zip into mods

#

dont extract

#

that's good

#

yeah, at least 99% of mods from beamng site are made to be installed nice and easy like this

shadow gorge
#

what?

cloud pike
#

yeah, its not the best quality stuff there and likely doesn't follow the easy install method

shadow gorge
#

for the love of god please dont download from there

#

you have a high chance of getting a virus

#

and the mods themselves are quite bad

#

just because you have an antivirus doesnt mean you are invincible

#

just be cautious

#

around 3rd party sites

#

whatever, just be very cautious

cloud pike
#

that's probably something else or just a one time thing

hushed cobalt
#

No, mods there are pretty bad or just avalaible on the official website

#

that's not a virus

#

u are wrong

he made video about bootleg

not virus mods

#

fun fact: because of how beamng lua works you could easily get a virus that your av wouldnt detect until it is already running. Happy modding πŸ™‚

#

yeah

#

so that's why always i close beamng game crashes

#

wat

#

game crashes

#

after close

#

ah, I remember having that some time ago. its weird lmao, seemed to be related to CEF not being told to close so it yelled at me

#

before 0.20 update i got in beamng 150 working mods

#

but i must uninstall game cuz it crashed

#

And i download from world of mods cuz i like real cars mods

#

world of mods tends to be low quality and risky, but no one can stop you

#

no low quality

#

world of mods is either meshslaps or stolen from the forums without credit

#

i download only good mods

#

i dislike bootlegs

#

and you can't find on this page not bootleg dodge challenger mod

#

:/

#

yeah because no one has really made one up to date on the forums afaik

#

since any good quality mod on world of mods is stolen

#

i know

#

world of mods stole mods from other pages

#

if you know why are you supporting that

#

using the site is supporting it

#

you are even suggesting it

#

ok

#

how can i download good graphics mod

#

latent ivy
#

afaik there is nothing in the wild yet

#

wdym

#

there is no actual known virus that us using lua and beamng, its a possibility but nothing has ever been found so far

#

so dont let it scare you, download from the repo and you should be fine

#

beamng is well sandboxed with its lua, I know I have been throwing my head against it

#

there mightve been a possibility where i downloaded some cars from worldofmods just to see the quality of mods there
guess imma die

#

even then you are still probably good

#

this is def not something some kiddie can break outta

#

i guess so, yeah, but the possibility still exists nonetheless

#

indeed

I would be more wary about where you wouldnt expect it if you wanted to be worried

a vehicle

latent ivy
#

well then if its a custom vehicle you will probably need a few years of 3d experience to make the model in a tool like blender or maya, then something to texture like substance or photoshop, then notepad++ to make the jbeam stuff

#

if its from a premade model then just notepad++ and tools like blender or maya

#

the wiki has stuff about creating the jbeam items you need and how to do it

No
