[prime garden]

ou nvm i need to assign a material

but how?

[latent ivy]

depends on what you are doing xD

hence why I asked

[prime garden]

i did a front bumper

[latent ivy]

ok you can use the material editor in the world menu

[prime garden]

ohh

[latent ivy]

just create a new material and pic your material from the vehicle while the bumper is on

then restart the game

[prime garden]

oh ty

[lime prism]

hi

[hollow gate]

Anyone know if its possible to convert an engine sound from test drive unlimited to beamng?

[wet wedge]

I think you can manually record each individual sound and then put it into Beam

[hollow gate]

but no way to directly convert them?

[wet wedge]

I'm not exactly aware of any way

Unless you can find the source of the sound models

Then maybe there can be a workaround

[zealous quartz]

!rank

[olive holly]

🚫 lamborghini concept₿₿, that command is disabled in this channel.

[hollow gate]

id have see again but there may be a way to grab mp3 or ogg files from the bnk they are in

[wet wedge]

IIRC aren't the files embedded within the .exe itself?

[latent ivy]

i have a question who made the 6x6 mod for D series

[hollow gate]

to mod tdu you had to extract everything and they are in bnk files then

[quasi mango]

is it a .bank file

there's a way to extract .bank files it works on ETS2 but should work for most .bank files

[hollow gate]

.bnk

Try this

[devout solstice]

Which modded vehicle has animated headlights/taillights?

[rough tusk]

animated?

[devout solstice]

yes

dynamic headlights, like the glowmaps flow

[gaunt solar]

I know what u mean, I've seen it on the forums before

No clue what it was called tho

[devout solstice]

I just need to implement it to my bike lmao

[gaunt solar]

https://youtu.be/GJxUON0efwI

[gaunt solar]

[shadow gorge]

innocent joker made the lights

[prime lake]

[unborn flume]

[white prairie]

[white prairie]

oh

[pine wyvern]

Hi! can I know where can I get these mods?

I really appreciate it if you can help me regarding my above topic.

Thank you

[solid vector]

I think it's the chain mod

https://www.beamng.com/resources/torsions-vehicle-to-vehicle-couplers.1216/

[latent ivy]

rest of the mods (vehicles) is private or trash

[pine wyvern]

Thanks LOT and Highly appreciate

[tired coyote]

I think the 200bx concept in wbimp has animated ones

Yes it has them

[buoyant smelt]

idk but its cool

[buoyant smelt]

These Mods like the lamborgini and those others you watch are private and they were made in 2017 or 2016.

[gaunt solar]

Um ok? Why the ping tho?

[buoyant smelt]

?

What are you talking about?

[gaunt solar]

U pinging me when you replied to my msg

But like it wasn't important what so ever 🤣

[cobalt jay]

does anyone have a mod for a miata?

[shy magnet]

where can i find the tesla at for beam

id like it like this one

[ember crater]

If you can't find it on the beamng forum or repo, it's probably private

[wet wedge]

This one is super broken, you'll have to clear cache every time you load it, since it is based on the Vivace and it messes up both Vivace AND Tograc

It's basically Vivace S with the engine sound files replaced with electric sounding ones

Basically a typical meshlap

[shy magnet]

ahh ok

is that to get model to show up

and also can i reneame the meshes and itll work if i do the same with the jbeam rename stuff?

[shy magnet]

??

[wet wedge]

I think that might work

Never really considered the possibility of doing that lol

I just got the mod from a contact of mine and when it messed up my Vivace models up TWICE, I just deleted it 😛

[shy magnet]

k

lol

ya ill do that it has no texture for windows and such but ima try

make it lighn up more

[radiant locust]

i think this car going to be a best example for my car mod

what do you guys think?

im planning to make a car mod that the shape is just like this

but the better version

[prime ravine]

too blocky if that's not what youre aiming for

but other than that p cool

[radiant locust]

i mean i can make the not blocky version

i mean @cloud pike said that that is the old design of the wendover from 2015 i believe.

so maybe i can make the not blocky version of it

[radiant locust]

the wendover that in the game it self is only the coupe

so i want to make the 4 door version of it

[latent ivy]

can someone find me the mazda rx7

bc i am not finding it

[magic marsh]

hello do you have any good mods

[shy magnet]

can someone get hoonitruck in if i give them model into beam

[wet wedge]

You gonna take it from Forza?

[shy magnet]

i got mine from friend that got from asseto corza idk if its a forza model

i think it might be

[wet wedge]

It's most probably gonna be from Forza, since they have that model since FH3

[shy magnet]

ya

slide.kb do u want to put it in

or

[wet wedge]

I'm still learning modding as of now tbh, so I'm pretty useless at this 😅

[shy magnet]

lol

[wet wedge]

Although I do understand the whole technicalities of it

just not the actual implementation

[shy magnet]

ahh

i can only get frame in and then im lost how to do suspension

i want to do tesla though

[latent ivy]

nowhere

Its private

[wanton cedar]

miracle

[latent ivy]

But theres a leak on modland

which is trash

[shy magnet]

y is it private

[latent ivy]

i don't recomennd it

[shy magnet]

its so good it looks good

[latent ivy]

maybe the creator doesnt want to share it

bcuz he doesnt want it to get reuploaded

or she

[shy magnet]

huuu i want it though

[latent ivy]

respect modders man

they got a tough life

[latent ivy]

are you a child

[wanton cedar]

yes

[latent ivy]

bcuz you are behaving like one

[latent ivy]

im not talking to you 0_o

[wanton cedar]

ok, im sorry

[latent ivy]

nah its ok

[wanton cedar]

thank you

[latent ivy]

np

[shy magnet]

by heart or by age

[latent ivy]

[shy magnet]

[latent ivy]

ah ok nvm

[shy magnet]

[latent ivy]

[ember crater]

[tired coyote]

Is a picture in the overview of a resource mandatory even if a video is linked/embedded?

Wouldn't make much sense but I'll still ask

[ripe loom]

Is there some winter mod maps?

Or some good covet mods

[urban dove]

Hey anyone have a mk3 supra mod because there is 1 out there but the textures are garbage

[wet wedge]

Could you frame the question a little more clearly? It's pretty comfusing to read 😅

[lusty saddle]

why didnt the car didnt get freshly restored by the gf?

[tired coyote]

it's pointless answering now, the mod's been approved 🙂

[rough tusk]

Mammoth Valley, Season Pack

[buoyant rapids]

the mod is outdated

[latent ivy]

anyone got a mod for the truck addon? possibly toolboxes or new flatbeds

[magic marsh]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/t-80ud-tank-shoots-and-working-turret.70687/

tonk

[latent ivy]

I wish beamng had proper lua docs so I dont have to do this nightmare on each tire reset

                if part == wd.partOrigin:gsub("wheeldata", "tire") then
                    print('me') 
                    rubber = data.information.name
                elseif string.sub(wd.name, 1, 1) == "F" and part:find("_F_") then
                    if part:find("sport") then
                        rubber = "sport"
                    elseif part:find("redline") or part:find("ww") then
                        rubber = "standard"
                    elseif part:find("race") then
                        rubber = "race"
                    else
                        rubber = part
                    end

if anyone knows a better way please let me know xD

all of that to assign a variable to tires with which kind of rubber they have

by iterating over every part in the vehicle, checking if there is 'tire' in the name, then doing that

surely there has to be a function right? ._.

[gaunt solar]

Lets Go!!!

update soon xD

openable mod^

[flint pagoda]

is there a leguna seca raceway mod?

[shadow gorge]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/mazda-raceway-laguna-seca.3524/ I found this really old one, idk if it works

[foggy pier]

can someone help me find an offroad suspension mod with custumizable ride height?

[young yacht]

depending on the suspension in game suspensions already have customisable ride height

do it from the tuning tab

[foggy pier]

Not enough and for offroad suspension you can only put it on the front

but

[young yacht]

other than that IDK about a mod like that

[foggy pier]

i see that baemg has such a big community but just sometimes a mod is very hard to find or diesnt even exist

[celest mesa]

any rover mods?

[dusk dragon]

It's not because Beamng got a big community that there's a lot of modders.

[warm moth]

I have to say I love your mod it is one of the best mods out there!!

[gaunt solar]

Thank you!

[warm moth]

Np

[icy dome]

what would cause a beam to break instantly

[foggy pier]

A nuke

[onyx dirge]

over spring, over damp, general instability

[icy dome]

how much should i lower it by

[onyx dirge]

Gotta do some trial and error and find out where it stops breaking
Usually once you find that point you still want to lower it just a bit to be safe

[icy dome]

whats a good number to decrease it by. idk how much is too much or not enough

[onyx dirge]

There's no real way to determine that as the spring/damp limits are affected by t he way the entire structure is designed

[icy dome]

okay thank you. ill see if i can get it

[mystic coral]

anyone know how to make the unicycle/first person camera very fast

ping me if replying

[placid musk]

gips a car ferry mod

[dusk dragon]

?

[ocean flower]

English please

[cedar copper]

WHAT THE FUCK IS A CAR FERRY MOD!

[placid musk]

car ferry mod

[pale flame]

Ever heard of a ferry

It’s those boats that carry cars across bodies of water

[dusk dragon]

So a huge mod that will take 2 years to be created ?

[pale flame]

I’m just saying what a ferry is

[rare hamlet]

to who ever made the openable mod: its amazing

[west bronze]

is there any graphics mod to make my game look better

also my bad if this isnt the right channel

[latent ivy]

Not working on every car 🙂

[ocean flower]

And what lol

[tired coyote]

It's not done yet
It takes some time to place all the triggers and make the doors and bonnet/tailgate actually openable

[rough tusk]

theyre in this server, ive talked to them a few times

(its Jamie599)

[ocean flower]

The guy with the cat pic

[rough tusk]

yep

[rare hamlet]

i know just dont know who that is xD

[rare hamlet]

ok thx

[rare hamlet]

yeah but still amazing

[rough tusk]

hes slowly adding cars to it

[rare hamlet]

hopefully also the ETK 1300

[rough tusk]

i dont know if hes doing modded vehicles

hes done a few mods but theyre only different unibodies for base game cars

like the wagon sunburst

[glass rain]

will be good if someone can make this in beamng xD

[dusk dragon]

Modded vehicles are hell

[ocean flower]

Just do it in the pigeon

smh

[plush glade]

private modding is becoming bigger for a reason

as more and more people join the forums the less i can stand it

[ocean flower]

Fair

[plush glade]

its full of people like

"Hey make this now for no pay"

[ocean flower]

-kids
-kids
-kids

[plush glade]

"this is bad i can do better" does not do better

[ocean flower]

"make airbag mod"

[plush glade]

"where is the real badges"

"where is the lore friendly badges"

"will this be on repo"

"wen relez"

anyways

[ocean flower]

"an airbag mod would be a great idea!"

modders:

[plush glade]

thanks to @thorny yoke 's good reffence images i actually know what was wrong with it now

the side indicators were too small

they actually extend to the front a bit

so now that that is fixed

and the car is as wide as it should be

i can actually continue

[ocean flower]

Nice

[latent ivy]

dont forget though

the private modders make the situation worse

having a private mod is ok and all

but flaunting it

posting 50 pics of it a week and stuff when you know its something people are really interested in

'people getting annoyed im not releasing the mod is exactly why I wont' - says the man showing off his mod progress daily to people he will never let use the mod

[ocean flower]

Indeed, is quite flexing in the face of others

[latent ivy]

like posting something every now and then for feedback is one thing, but you can tell when someone is teasing people with it

and most of the private modders are

well

most of the private modders that we know of

[frosty finch]

is there any mod that make diesel engines roll coal?

[latent ivy]

Engine mods, Duramax for D-Series is cool.

[ocean flower]

why is everyone so aggressive lastly smh

[frosty finch]

its called a joke

lul

[ocean flower]

Your sarcasm is very dumb then

[frosty finch]

can we change the subjectr

[rough tusk]

good question

[gaunt solar]

That do be me xD

Lol, someone just reviewed the mod and said it don't work on one of the cars which isn't even added yet 🤣

Intelligence 100

[gaunt solar]

Thank you!

[feral anchor]

the people who make blatantly ignorant claims about things explicitly written in the description of a mod when reviewing it make me question how they even managed to install it in the first place

[dusk dragon]

well the in game repo

just need one clock

click

[feral anchor]

if they click on things before reading what they are, it's a miracle their pc still functions like normal tbh

i mean i'm more referring to the forums because you actually need to open your file explorer to install mods that way, but still

at least read what the mod is on the repo before installing it. lol

[latent ivy]

Is this good?

nvm the polyflow but the shape of the car

[gaunt solar]

the lights and wheel arch is good. but the hood is a bit plain imo

[latent ivy]

ok

Im still learning so i guess this is good

[rough tusk]

it gives me mazda vibes

[latent ivy]

it is a mazda

a 2019 mazda 6

[rough tusk]

damn i didnt think it actually was a Mazda

[shadow gorge]

aka 2019 pessima

[rough tusk]

you might need to rename it if you plan to get it on the repository so yeah a MK3 pessima should work

[latent ivy]

ye

[shadow gorge]

[hexed idol]

anyone know where to find the zip file for the cherrier emousse? i would like to import it into blender but idk where to find the file

[dusk dragon]

It's on the repo

[hexed idol]

no.. i want the .dae file to import into blender

where to i find the zip to extract it?

[latent ivy]

What’s the front mod?

No clue didn’t even notice

Oh

[dusk dragon]

it's on the repo

[hexed idol]

in game repo? i don’t know if u understand. i’m not looking for the emousse mod, i’m looking for the zip file i can extract to get the .dae file for blender

[dusk dragon]

the zip file IS the mod. . .

[hexed idol]

you don’t understand.

nevermind.

[dusk dragon]

You want the dae of the emousse, right ?

[hexed idol]

yes i do.

[dusk dragon]

so it's in the zip

zip that's the mod

mod that's on the repo

[hexed idol]

yes but i can’t access the repo folder in blender. so how do i get to the .dae file?

[dusk dragon]

just download the mod manually on the repo and put it on your desk

[hexed idol]

like make a shortcut? wdym by put it in my desk?

[latent ivy]

Found it maybe

[hexed idol]

and i already have the mod. i want to get it into blender to mod it

[latent ivy]

Thank you so much

[dusk dragon]

are you sure you want to modifie the dae of the emousse ? You don't seem to have a lot of knowledge with how a pc work 😓

just go on the Beamng website

download the mod again

put it on your pc desk

[hexed idol]

i have modified cars before

what is the pc desk??

[polar cedar]

Desktop

[dusk dragon]

yeah desktop

[polar cedar]

Main screen of your pc

[hexed idol]

so make a shortcut?

[dusk dragon]

no...

[polar cedar]

Just download the mod manually off the website and extract the zip

[hexed idol]

how do i add.. what??

[dusk dragon]

I don't want to be mean, but did you really manage to modify cars with so little knowledge you got about how a computer works?

[hexed idol]

maybe im just dumb or yall making this way too confusing

[polar cedar]

It is as simple as what i said

[hexed idol]

ooohh wait

[dusk dragon]

do you have winrar or something similar at least ?

[hexed idol]

i think i understand

i have winrar

ive done this before but just with vanilla cars

[dusk dragon]

well so there's no differences with a mod

just put the zip on your desktop

[devout solstice]

all you have to do, is open the file

[hexed idol]

so i download it and extract it in the downloads folder?

[polar cedar]

Actually

You have mod downloaded in game right?

[devout solstice]

if you have winrar, you can literally just open it, and import it into blender without extracting anything

[hexed idol]

yes

[polar cedar]

Alright, go to the mod menu in the game, click on the mod and then choose unpack

Mod menu aka where the ingame repo is

[hexed idol]

alright thanks, i was not thinking at all before lmaoo, my mind was somewhere else, i promise im not that dumb🤣

[lunar pier]

Hello everyone.

[latent ivy]

hello, you should post this in #off-topic

[lunar pier]

I have modding questions just hadn't gotten there yet.

Anyone know of a newer tutorial that the one posted on Beam's website? I've got a trailer project I've been working on, I have a mostly functional jbeam but no matter what I try I can't get the .dae to load in the game.

I just updated my old forum post, there's slightly more info there.

Nice Mazda 6 BTW

link in case anyone's interested:
https://www.beamng.com/threads/360-trailer.70371/page-2

[latent ivy]

thx and when it comes to tutorials:

https://www.beamng.com/threads/how-to-mod-a-vehicle-basics-2021.79294/

here's a working one

[latent ivy]

and when it comes to .dae, are the names the same in the jbeam and blender?

[lunar pier]

thanks, I'll check it out in a bit

[junior venture]

Guys I want to add a spawnpoint to gridmap... i added the spawn location but it isn't there... what do i need to do to make it work?

[latent ivy]

#modding-general

[junior venture]

i know but no one is using that...

[latent ivy]

umm no?

[dusk dragon]

WaNT SuPeR CaR

[ocean flower]

meshlaps are gud what are u sayin

[lunar pier]

If i can make a not horrible jbeam you can also make one that is relatively close to the cars dimensions

[dusk dragon]

Well especially here, he could have moved the top nodes to fit the shape

[lunar pier]

Ok, well i finally got the mesh in game. It seems ALL the mesh refrences have to be the part name from Blender... a detail not mentioned anywhere. lol

[latent ivy]

is their a mod that can make the turning easier

[cursive prism]

What do u wont from it. It looking solid

[lunar pier]

What do you mean, make the turning easier? Beam's cornering is fairly realistic already

[latent ivy]

what car is this, is it a mod?

also are there any mods for the hirochi prasu, like widebodies?

[tired coyote]

Looks like a modded k-series to me

[latent ivy]

also another question, are there any JGTC/SuperGT mods or bodykit mods for existing cars?

[latent ivy]

how do i drive ?

[thin walrus]

My first mod

[latent ivy]

sick but how do i drive in game ?

[devout solstice]

no way, seems legit

[analog rivet]

Are there any dyno mods?

[ocean flower]

100% good jbeam

[rough tusk]

is that a god damn covet mclaren

[ocean flower]

yes

[rough tusk]

i love that.

[thin walrus]

thanks m8

[rough tusk]

question: does it have engine sounds and like a proper power?

[ocean flower]

Did you model it by your own?

[thin walrus]

yes

[thin walrus]

no

I can record

[rough tusk]

hohohohohohoho

[thin walrus]

and show

[ocean flower]

Where is it from then

[thin walrus]

grid model

[ocean flower]

What about the jbeam?

[rough tusk]

oh, i thought it was gonna be like a forza model

[ocean flower]

You made one from scratch ?

[thin walrus]

detailed

[thin walrus]

no :/

[rough tusk]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

love it

its colorable too, right?

[ocean flower]

So, edited one from another car?

[thin walrus]

ye

[thin walrus]

yes but it wont overlap

[ocean flower]

Or is not edited

[rough tusk]

oh my god. i love this mod

[thin walrus]

very edited

[ocean flower]

Can i see it

From X and Y view

[rough tusk]

gagues look good?

[ocean flower]

Just curious

[rough tusk]

sorry if were asking so many questions, its not often you see a wellmade hypercar mod in beam

[thin walrus]

no interior yet 😦

[rough tusk]

either way, its amazing

[thin walrus]

it didn't come with the model

[thin walrus]

I prob will get a forza model for detailed interior

[ocean flower]

Seems pretty weird

[thin walrus]

those were the mirrors

[ocean flower]

Mirrors in the roof?

[thin walrus]

no

[rough tusk]

roof mirrors

very effective

[ocean flower]

Well, you could try to make a better job with the jbeam structure

[thin walrus]

my first one

[ocean flower]

Other than that, seems interesting

[thin walrus]

;-;

[rough tusk]

its really good for a first mod

[thin walrus]

ye

I made it in 3 days

[rough tusk]

for 3 days, thats really good

[thin walrus]

thanks

its a W.I.P mod

[ocean flower]

If he use an imported model, of course it would be quick

[rough tusk]

i think that dodge charger was the persons first mod and i think it took em like 2 years

idk tho

[ocean flower]

Cause it was modelled by the modder lol

Basically, everything by hand

[rough tusk]

yeah, editing a J-Beam that quickly is impressive id think

i havent edited a j-beam before

[thin walrus]

no

it was a forza model

[sonic temple]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ex-parts-for-k-series.13672/

[rough tusk]

especially concidering i have the coding knowledge of a moist pancake

[ocean flower]

Not talking of your lol

[thin walrus]

ik

the forums one

[ocean flower]

What about the suspension

[thin walrus]

im in his group

[ocean flower]

Where's the code from

[thin walrus]

3 days

im not a pro

[rough tusk]

J Beam is very nice for 3 days of work

[thin walrus]

I learnt while making

[zinc prairie]

suspension will make or break a car like that

[thin walrus]

sbr suspension

[ocean flower]

Ah, there it is

[thin walrus]

because its similar to bugatti

[ocean flower]

Sbr code..

[thin walrus]

no

not fully

[ocean flower]

what

lmfao

That has no sense at all

[rough tusk]

yeah it could be changed up a bit but yknow, its not the worst choice

[ocean flower]

but well

[thin walrus]

its not made to be good

its made for photos

not a forums mod

[zinc prairie]

can always make it good later

[ocean flower]

What's the sense then

[thin walrus]

for fun

it gets rid of your time fast

[zinc prairie]

1st few mods are usually fun throwaways

[thin walrus]

yes

my better mods will be public

[ocean flower]

Don't find a reason to make a car for "photos" but sure thing

[thin walrus]

ok

good

you understand

[zinc prairie]

is it normal to go a week without any feedback or release on the repo?

my first mod went right up, but Ive been waiting a good bit on the follow up

[rough tusk]

well a Veyron does have coilovers in the back i think

[thin walrus]

its a meshcrap nothing to expect from my mod

[ocean flower]

Knew it lmfao

[thin walrus]

ok

[zinc prairie]

suspension and door/window number are good starts anyway, engine placement can always change

I just slap around the vanilla stuff myself

[analog rivet]

??

[zinc prairie]

what would you want it to do the dyno and torque curve apps dont do?

[analog rivet]

DIdn't know that existed

How do I access that?

[zinc prairie]

then click the + sign to add apps

[analog rivet]

Thank you

I am just looking for a mod like a dyno

one I can drive up to like in real life

[latent ivy]

Thanks dude!

[rough tusk]

base game, scroll down. looks like this

[analog rivet]

There's not one for all 4 wheels though

Which one is the best to use?

[rough tusk]

you can add a 4th wheel

open the part menu and add the roller for each corner

[analog rivet]

Let me test that out

Do I have to line it up or does it do that for me?

@rough tusk

[rough tusk]

it lines itself up for your cars size

[analog rivet]

I just tried it and the 3 wheel variant lines up but not the other single one

[rough tusk]

wdym?

[analog rivet]

It looks like this since it doesn't automatically line up the one wheel roller with the other 3 ones

[rough tusk]

did you spawn the 3, then spawn a single?

[analog rivet]

yes

[rough tusk]

you need to spawn a 3 then add 1 in this menu

[analog rivet]

ohhh ok

let me try

[rough tusk]

l e x u s

[pure swan]

fixed interior

[jaunty mountain]

Hi, I was just looking into getting started with mods but I have no idea where to start any ideas?

[latent ivy]

Start from making configs, engines, body parts etc

just start from simple things

[latent ivy]

looks like a meshslap to me lol

but keep going

with the mod

[jaunty mountain]

Ok cool

Is there’re any guides

Or should I just go with the flow lol ?

Nice profile pic

[jovial vapor]

how doi create new map

its empty there . where is the option there

?

[latent ivy]

under terrain editor

[jovial vapor]

its not there bro

[latent ivy]

terrain editor

left side

import heightmap

[jovial vapor]

u mean this one ?

[latent ivy]

yee

the other option is a terrain block but iirc that currently does not save

[jovial vapor]

i press import ,but nothing is happening

[latent ivy]

did you give it an image

[jovial vapor]

yes

.

[latent ivy]

thats a texture map

not a height map

it needs a heightmap

[jovial vapor]

Ok i did that and it crashed the game

[latent ivy]

yep it does that sometimes

gotta try a few times

if you see the terrain and then it crashes, just mash the save button as it is importing

[rough tusk]

i mean, i think itd be best to start small, a small prop or maybe new fenders or something on a car.

as a first mod, its certianly not a good idea to try and make a full on car

[jaunty mountain]

Ok yeah

I will try

Never done modelling so...

We will see how this goes

[chilly crown]

i crave real life car mods

anyone got some

[hardy jetty]

Make one

[chilly crown]

k

A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY

i found this model good enough?

[hardy jetty]

Id guess so

[chilly crown]

alright

so

how i start lol

copy all the stuff from a sbr and boom?

lol

[hardy jetty]

yes

[chilly crown]

k

i should go into #modding-general ?

[hardy jetty]

yes

[rough tusk]

well its probably gonna crash and sound like crap so i mean if youre really dedicated you could find some tutorials or somethin

[chilly crown]

meh im just doing this for fun

plus ive never made a mod b4

well

does a config count

[rough tusk]

i wouldnt say thats a mod

[chilly crown]

k

well

imma go in modding help rq

[junior venture]

who likes my race track so far?

[chilly crown]

awesome

btw guys what is that app people use to make j beam

[latent ivy]

notepad?

[chilly crown]

no

this

[latent ivy]

does anyone use that to make jbeam? everyone I know just does notepad

[chilly crown]

idk

let me see

nodebeam editor

[frank kelp]

use a regular text editor

and blender vertex coordinates

[chilly crown]

what

im not doing mod now

i give up

[gaunt solar]

Looool

[mighty basin]

well that was quick lol

[latent ivy]

pls don't make a meshslap

meshslaps are bad ngl

unless you modify the jbeam

[latent ivy]

pretty nice but one corner loooks weird and sharp

[latent ivy]

notepad or any text editor

[latent ivy]

ah ok nvm me

[junior venture]

it is suppose to do that you know... throw people off

[latent ivy]

ok now i see why it looks sharp

[junior venture]

lol

how do i retexture it?

the objects

because all i did was copy and paste an existing thing

[chilly crown]

yeah it was just for fun

[chilly crown]

yes

[junior venture]

does anyone understand how to make new spawnpoint?

[deep mural]

Deos anyone seen this mod

[junior venture]

no...

it might be private

[deep mural]

Oh

I got it but it aint working

[junior venture]

it might be outdated

[deep mural]

Maybe

[latent ivy]

are there any good porsche mods, i know someone released their private pack, and it is pretty good, but ive seen these cayman mods, like 981 or 718 gt4 and i was wondering if they are private

[drowsy frost]

It was originally a private mod till some idiot decided to leak it to some 3rd party sites, do not go there and get it, third party sites are awful.

If you have it and it isn't working, then there's your answer, you most likely got it from a third party site, that's why.

[inner pulsar]

wut mod is that

[ocean flower]

He is literally asking for it lol

[subtle vortex]

i do

[subtle vortex]

i know its bad to get them from there but i got mine from that and it still works fine 💀

[drowsy frost]

No

Remove it, doesnt matter if it works or not, you're basically supporting theft by downloading mods from third party sites

[subtle vortex]

oh- 😳

[crude moon]

hey i there this mod that is a cargo plane does any one have it?

[ocean flower]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/0-21-antonov-an-12b-fixed-lua-error.53467/

[quaint flint]

[latent ivy]

others had s14 there private

[rough tusk]

yes. "private"

[vital knoll]

I have a few mods that are downloaded but not installed
How do I install them

[ocean flower]

Drop the zip in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.22\mods

[vital knoll]

I installed them ingame

Well
downloaded

Do I restart the game or something

[ocean flower]

Nah

[vital knoll]

How do I get them from downloaded to installed then

[devout solstice]

play the game

[quaint flint]

**...BeamNG.drive\0.22\mods\vehicles (for vehicles)

also, everyones location could be different, for example, mine is D:\BeamNG.drive\0.22\mods\vehicles, so just look for ...\BeamNG.drive\0.22\mods\vehicles.

[quaint flint]

Refer to the message above, then just run the game, and it should be in the vehicle selector/map selector. dont unzip the file, it should stay zipped.

[ocean flower]

By default is in the place i said, if it won't work, of course you should change the C: to D:

[vital knoll]

I already said I downloaded it ingame

[quaint flint]

true, by default you are correct

[quaint flint]

here, try following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPFpPOBCBqQ

[vital knoll]

I downloaded them IN THE GAME. Meaning I was in the game menu and I clicked subscribe

I have no zip, I didn't open my browser

[quaint flint]

OHH, in that case, you just press subscribe. thats it.

sorry lol

[vital knoll]

What about them being installed
They're stuck in the downloaded section

[quaint flint]

if they are stuck in the downloaded section, then they are either still downloading, or you have not enough storage to download it. if you have another drive and want to use that to add-on more memory for beamng, just go to your steam > right click BeamNG.drive > Properties > Local Files > move Install Folder > select folder to move game files in the new drive. make sure your beamng is closed when doing so.

beamng will also notify you when you have used over 80% of your storage

[latent ivy]

how to have a control panel on beamng driving police cars

[quaint flint]

not sure what you mean by that.

[latent ivy]

what

i can show you

[quaint flint]

sure

[latent ivy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hzdF2OVIQA

see

[quaint flint]

it literally says that in the title

its a mod

you have to download it

[latent ivy]

what do i look up

?

[quaint flint]

bruh

[latent ivy]

oh right they

[quaint flint]

look in the description

[latent ivy]

ok my bad

[latent ivy]

oh ok

just DM pls

[rugged charm]

Maybe its a quick fix, but I've downloaded a few mods from the repo and when i try to activate them nothing happens. I'm not to familiar with the game yet so the help would be appreciated.

wrong chat i apologize

[edgy sand]

if their cars you will see them ingame when spawning a car, if their maps they maybe outdated or you may need to restart the game on rare occasions

@rugged charm

[rugged charm]

sweet thank you

[vital knoll]

Whats the best map for rallying

[latent ivy]

Rswatts rally cross is pretty cool

But that’s rally CROSS

All rally maps are pretty good, just search around for maps on beamNG.com and select what you want

[hoary horizon]

i was scrolling through steam screenshots today and i saw a ford explorer mod, its a leaked mod right? heard someone talk about it a while back

[shadow gorge]

well as far as I know there is no explorer mod in the official website

so yeah it might be leaked or bootleg

[hidden kestrel]

you can change it in the settings cant you

[cloud pike]

ctrl + w then you can change the gauges, not all cars though i think

at least for non-american ones you can

[hidden kestrel]

yeah that is what i was talking about it also changes the gauges

i dont mind the american classics not changing

[left forge]

hello i'm new to the modding community, and i wanted to ask for help with a mod i would have liked to develop but, i don't know how to start modeling a vehicle which happens to be a bus, i only have a few base in 3d modeling on blender but not asser to make a quality mod. I hope to be able to have help and advice for this small project. bye and have a nice day 😉 (sorry for the bigest message :/ )

[latent ivy]

anyone has etk-k series conventible ?

https://beamng.com/resources/etk-k-series-convertible.894/

pretty old tho

[ocean flower]

Apparently doesn't work anymore

[mighty basin]

there is a fixed version of it in discussion page

[latent ivy]

....

[tired coyote]

@latent ivy

[latent ivy]

can't find it

[tired coyote]

There are only two pages lmao
https://beamng.com/threads/etk-k-series-convertible.26425/page-2#post-1226374

[latent ivy]

still broken

[tired coyote]

Have you installed the mod correctly (appdata/local/beamng.drive/mods)?

[latent ivy]

oof

ok hol on

[tired coyote]

...

[glad schooner]

bruh we got tow truck mods for the d-series

but what about a tow truck mod for the pigeon?

I mean, it has a bed just like the d series.

[devout solstice]

Do you ever see a tricycle with a bed pull a 4 ton car in real life

[glad schooner]

yes

[devout solstice]

no

[dusk dragon]

mmmh https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DuFfhzFVsAAF146.jpg:large

[devout solstice]

no kenny

[woeful reef]

I am looking to hire a modder to build custom models. Please send me a message only if you're seriously interested.

[vital knoll]

Does anyone have a link to the spike strip that CBP uses? The only one I can find is too hard and just messes everything up too much, bugs out the tires

[ocean flower]

What's the model

[lofty schooner]

Are there any decent 2017+ Ford Raptor mods available ?

[feral anchor]

no

[dire maple]

working on a frame model for a mod I'm doing. only the center bit was downloaded in the car model, the front and back are all custom. second day of ever modeling in blender.

(still wip)

so for the frame

since it needs collision

should i create it with like a triangle jbeam to fill up the bars?

since a single beam per bar wont allow collision.

[latent ivy]

I would look at the default beamng rollcages

or the pre-runner

[dire maple]

I'll do that thanks

probably tomorrow

since i have a temporary jbeam setup for the outside body while I'm getting the frame ready

but that needs a lot of support

such as this frame

[vital knoll]

People be saying that supra looking car is good
It is not
All it does is spin out

[quiet pewter]

How about this PRR K4 for the next destructible locomotive vehicle? :3

I am very aware this would be really fucking difficult but still

I mean technically blueprints still obviously exist

[dire maple]

look at all those fine details

very complex, fascinating

[quiet pewter]

Of course it wouldn’t be as “rustic” as this as a model hopefully @dire maple old boy’s been sitting for some time

Probably since oh..... when kennedy was president

[dire maple]

jeez

thats pretty old

[quiet pewter]

Heh, old... son, the actual age of the locomotive is much older

[dire maple]

yeah

[quiet pewter]

The PRR K4 class emerged in 1914, some prototypes emerged in 13’

And they remained one of the longest used locomotives in American history

Until the very late 50’s

[dire maple]

must've been very reliable to hold that as long as it did

[quiet pewter]

What about this really old boi in Beamng?

The 1901 Oldsmobile phaeton

Technically the first mass produced American car

Selling over 2000 units in one year

Impressive stuff actually

@dire maple knowing what kidders like to do I bet there would be like custom “pickup truck” and “hot rod” versions of this

[dire maple]

Haha

wouldn't be surprised

[feral anchor]

i mean how else are you going to get that thing up to reasonable speeds to crash it

[dusk dragon]

Look pretty useless to be honest

[quiet pewter]

I meant in numbers built before even the Ford assembly line method was developed

2000 cars a year or over was a huge number back in 1901

Most auto makers rarely made over 500 a year

[lyric pebble]

Can you guys recommend some good gavril d series mods?

[dusk dragon]

I mean the car in itself

[quiet pewter]

Well... yeah

[dusk dragon]

What kind of mods?

[quiet pewter]

Cars wouldn’t really become genuinely useful for multiple things until the Ford model t
