[ocean flower]

Ok and

[dusk dragon]

well at this point just use the in game vehicles, they are the top of the top

[latent ivy]

the best i could do is wait i guess

[dusk dragon]

waiting what?

[latent ivy]

how about just a regular one with exterior and interior

[dusk dragon]

what's the difference ?

[latent ivy]

more simplistic and not as detailed

[ocean flower]

Isn't that just "detailed" with a cute name?

It will not be 30$ for sure

[latent ivy]

ik

[dusk dragon]

well uh, a mod with an interior + exterior is a detailed mod

[ocean flower]

^

[dusk dragon]

sadly BeamNG is not GTA, we are not making cars in 1 week

[latent ivy]

^

i know

[dusk dragon]

an experienced modder need 6 months to make a car, a noob probabbly one year, one year of tests, fails, motivation

[ocean flower]

And thankfully since 1853 slavery is forbidden so nobody will make you a car for free

[dusk dragon]

after there's maybe War Daddy that can help

[ocean flower]

wot

[dusk dragon]

since he got the black role

xD

[latent ivy]

shit takes time,and i understand that.I honestly wanted the mod because my sister had one.She promised me the car when i got my license but she flipped it and totaled it.I wanted it so i could still somehow drive the car

And if it takes 1200 bucks i understand.nothing is free

[dusk dragon]

the best is probably just to drive the Vivace/etk 800

[latent ivy]

i guess i will try to make it myself.If i fail,i will do that.While i make it thats also what i will do

also im gonna fail

[ocean flower]

If you have that way of think...

[latent ivy]

wait how do i get the engine sounds

[dusk dragon]

maybe go to the modding for dummies server it's made for that

[latent ivy]

is there a 3d modeling software you reccomend?

[ocean flower]

Blender

[latent ivy]

fck im poor still

[ocean flower]

Blender is free lmao

If you need some introduction, read the wiki and this channel will give you the Blender basics
https://wiki.beamng.com/Introduction_to_Vehicle_Creation
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOKHwx1VCdgnxwbjyb9Iu1g

Still, an entire car from scratch is a very big project for a beginner

But with time and dedication, you might get it

[latent ivy]

i hope so.What should i call it

[ocean flower]

Very early to think about a name imp :P

[latent ivy]

my slow ass 2014 macbook air is taking forever

53 minutes remaining?NO THANKS

[ocean flower]

lol

And that's how i waste text explaining stuff to someone who will never use it, great

[latent ivy]

maybe i should invest in a faster computer instead

its not going to waste

its official,im starting the 3d model

[latent ivy]

i take that back.Is damn near impossible,not my thing.There wont be a fusion after all...

[devout solstice]

lmfao

[latent ivy]

LAUGHING AT INCOMPETENCE ISNT NOT FUNNY!!!

lul

[devout solstice]

haha good try though

[latent ivy]

i spent 35 minutes trying to sculpt e sphere into a ford fusion chassis

[devout solstice]

just add a sphere mesh

and sculpt

[latent ivy]

i did

[devout solstice]

how did it turn out

[latent ivy]

BRUH IM SOO DONEE XDDDDDDD

[latent ivy]

my cybertruck so far

[flat sphinx]

Has the wbimp mod been fixed

[barren lintel]

what is wbimp

nvm

[flat sphinx]

adds a bunch of stuff to other cars like facelifts

[ocean flower]

Why do you call it Cybertruck

No hate, just wondering

[dusk dragon]

Because it look like the wigeon but longer

[ocean flower]

lmfao

[polar cedar]

No not yet, we're still busy with stuff

[ashen jacinth]

[dusk dragon]

@ashen jacinth

[thin musk]

Anyone know a good Graphics Mod that doesnt kill FPS?

[tired coyote]

I mean
PostFX

That's already vanilla so idk if it counts as a graphics mod

[sacred kiln]

aint that just a mondeo?

[slim adder]

What is postfx?

[hoary horizon]

It would be cool if the gavril vertex mod had more recent versions of the Ford Focus

[clever canopy]

how how do do i i get get it it

[tacit sierra]

is there any jetski mods out there

[tired coyote]

A little system that's included in the game that you can use to change the graphics a little

[slim adder]

Where do I find that? In the settings I mean….@tired coyote

[slim adder]

“On about”….what, are you like 50 years old or something?….lmao… ”on about”……🤣

[tired coyote]

You enable advanced features and then there's a button in the middle of the graphics settings

[slim adder]

The “button” is called (postfx)?

[tired coyote]

I'm not sure

You can't really miss it though

It's a big blue button next to another one

[slim adder]

Ok cool, thanks for the info. I have a 5900x and a 3080ti and my pc needs a better workout in this game/I feel like the graphics could be a little better…

@tired coyote

[thin musk]

tbh then just get reshade or similar, postfx is just something u can play around with, but some settings dont even work.

[subtle vortex]

ok??? literally everyone in england says that not just old people???

[subtle vortex]

its private 🥲

[clever canopy]

Oh

[prime ravine]

are there any mods for le mans prototypes?

modern or classic will work

other than the 787b

[devout stirrup]

some mods pls

[tired coyote]

https://beamng.com/resources/

[latent ivy]

anyone have any good dodge challenger mods?

[latent ivy]

no

The only one is the private one.

that Exorion is giving away to everyone

when?

Anyone got any good subaru mods?

[devout solstice]

sunburst

[latent ivy]

no shit dumbass

[devout solstice]

then stop asking for mods and search it up yourself

[latent ivy]

i did

im trying to get some help

iun finding one

[devout solstice]

if there aren't any on the web, there aren't any

[latent ivy]

there could be a site which has some mods of that type, but I just never encountered it

go fuck yourself, i dont need a mini-mod

[devout solstice]

you're fuming I'm not even being a minimod

[ocean flower]

Angry weeb

[past widget]

leave.

[latent ivy]

what happened to the ibishu kashira

it used to be on the repostitory

[drowsy frost]

it still is i believe

https://www.beamng.com/resources/1989-ibishu-kashira-gen-1.3459/

https://www.beamng.com/resources/1995-ibishu-kashira-gen-2.8319/

Yeah it is lol

[latent ivy]

its outdated though

[mighty basin]

still works though

[rare hamlet]

yeah but the automatic transmission is brokeyyyy (very brokey)

[drowsy frost]

ok

[daring kite]

Should I release to the forums a skin pack of a local business owned by my dad and my uncle that makes garage doors for all of Argentina (sorry for my bad English)

[ocean flower]

What brand of doors?

I'm from Arg too xD

[robust coyote]

are agents mod packs safe?

and how do i find the real agents mod packs i dont want from fake agent

[runic relic]

go to YT, they’re posted there

and yes they’re safe

now for my post

Hey everyone. Sorry if I sound like a beggar (i’m not but tone is impossible on the internet). Does anyone have any nice car mods that were released by the AUTHOR? Mainly those released on YT like Agents mod pack. I’m mainly searching for real life car brands but everything is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

ping if you respond and dm if i need to take this down

[rough tusk]

theeres a charger on the forums

[runic relic]

i’ve got it

[last kelp]

are there people out there who will like make mods if someone pays them?

[latent ivy]

sure, depends on the mod and how much muns you got

[last kelp]

ah, I see

[dusk dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/ifht-carbon-dealer-mtb-mountainbike-gif-20969945

[runic cove]

dm me if you have any fun mods that i can download or maps

[feral pawn]

How would i get this engine model on the 200bx

[ember crater]

that's a lot of detail for beamng engine

[feral pawn]

Almost half the engine in missing right now

I still need to make the front, rear and oil pan

[dusk dragon]

i think there's too many details

[ember crater]

He posted a screenshot in mods earlier with the whole inside of the engine modeled

[ocean flower]

May i see the poly flow? Seems quite high poly for beam

[latent ivy]

yes.a mondeo and fusion are practically the same car

[sacred kiln]

my mum had a 2010 mondeo zetec 161
i miss it so much it was a literal torque beast

[feral pawn]

Is there such thing as too much detail?

[devout solstice]

yes

[dusk dragon]

yes

too much = bad crashes

that's why beamng vehicles are low poly

[feral pawn]

I mean I'm not planning on crashing

And there is going to be a reinforced front end (tube frame)

[dusk dragon]

ahah I was saying the same, but if youare going to post it on the repo caution

[feral pawn]

I could make it a lower poly if i wanted it to be on the repo
But i am making it purely for fun

[dusk dragon]

well it's just that people are going to critizise the fact that it crash badly like on my mods when it's mainly for roleplay and screenshots stuff

[feral pawn]

Yeah

[latent ivy]

has anyone thought of tire wear?
like not visual and losing grip + popping over time
but ui app and the two above

[sick perch]

Is there an American Vector wheels mod out there?

[latent ivy]

are there any tire wear mods you can find and actually download so they will still work?

[tired coyote]

No

[latent ivy]

will there be any made?

[devout solstice]

Tire wear for performance or visual effects?

[latent ivy]

tires losing grip over time abused and popped at 0 health, a ui app that indicates tire health like the brake temp does with brake temps and dynamic wear meaning that more abuse will take more tire health

[devout solstice]

I have that, though it's private and I'm not going to be mentioning the creator since he prolly doesn't want any begging.

Other than that, unfortunately not

[latent ivy]

are they releasing their mod at some point?

[devout solstice]

I don't think so

I don't think it's possible to release it anyways

[latent ivy]

why?

[devout solstice]

It involves changing the games files

[latent ivy]

oh

and what do they use it for?

[devout solstice]

wdym

[latent ivy]

what they created it for

[devout solstice]

Testing I guess

[latent ivy]

and nothing else?

[devout solstice]

"realism"

[latent ivy]

i mean there are mods that kinda change the gameplay indepth? do they not have knowledge on how to make it easy to download or just dont want to?

[devout solstice]

They just don't want to

[latent ivy]

oh

do they have a reason

[rough tusk]

rotary?

[feral pawn]

yeah its a 4 rotor

[rough tusk]

fokin noice

200BX with a rotary soudns amazing

[bright swan]

Any one have a good helicopter mod

[sage gust]

Anyone one with real life car mods? I won't leak them. I promise.

[devout solstice]

Promises don't go a very long way on the internet

[sage gust]

I didn't even leak the Chevy Nova I was given.

[devout solstice]

okay and

[sage gust]

I just want something to play around with

[last kelp]

"bro trust me"

[ocean flower]

Imagine promising on internet

[dire haven]

Eh some people can be trustworthy. Anyways how much are most paid for cars?

[runic relic]

If they were paid based on how much work they put in….

easily over 1000

[ocean flower]

Would you trust your mod to an stranger who simply said "i will not leak it"

[livid void]

yoooo

okay is this the channel for mod ideas

[ocean flower]

No

[stable pivot]

Anyone know a good website to get the pre facelift Bluebuck mod from without also getting 74 viruses

[split flame]

Henlo. Soo... I have zero BeamNG modding experience, but I'd like to learn. And hopefully make something useful in the process.

I've noticed that the Off-Road body for the D-Series doesn't have a Snorkel; from the outside that seems an easy thing for me to fix with mods. How feasible would that be?

Would I really just need to create a slot and JBeam the vanilla snorkel or is there more to it than that?

[buoyant wyvern]

Hello, anyone have an idea how to mod in beamng other than using automation?

[glad lily]

i need help with my mods, ive added some before but now when i move the zipped folders into the mod folder nothing happens and it is getting very frustrating

[split flame]

Make sure it's the correct mods folder. BeamNG's user folder moved with the last update, if you're using Documents that's the wrong folder.

[glad lily]

oh wait yeah it is in documents

[split flame]

It should be under Appdata > Local > BeamNG.Drive now

[glad lily]

how do i fix it

let me check

how do i open app data again

i know its %localappdata%

but whats the keybind to bring it up

[split flame]

You'll need to allow yourself to view hidden folders and then open it via Windows Explorer

[glad lily]

how do i do that

@split flame this is all i see

[split flame]

Open up 0.22, it should be in there somewhere

0.22 is the current User Data folder, and has the Mods Folder and all the other useful stuff.

[glad lily]

yeah thats where my mods are

but when i put stuff in there none of it shows up in game

do i have to unzip it? ive tried it all

[split flame]

Hmm.

[split flame]

It's working for me, this is how I have mine set up

[glad lily]

so just put my zipped mods in that page?

[split flame]

Yep!

[glad lily]

i'll test it

they just show up like this and i cant use them in game

i guess my game is just broken

nice

[split flame]

More likely the mods are broken

[glad lily]

its every mod

[split flame]

What's your source for mods?

[glad lily]

world of mods

[split flame]

Yikes.

That's a very sus site, I've heard a lot of bad things about it

[latent ivy]

yeah dont use world of mods

[glad lily]

i cant find any other website that uses real cars

[latent ivy]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/

yeah no dont use real cars lad, they're all crappy poorly made mods

there's a few on the forums that are okay at best, but i would stay away from them, irl cars are good to have but no one really puts the effort into making them, plus they cant be put on the repo due to copyright reasons,

[split flame]

With maybe the exception of Stoat Muldoon's Dodge Coronet

Maybe

[latent ivy]

stoats a beamNG dev last i checked

iirc the jbeam is custom made aswell

[split flame]

Oh wow! Congrats to Stoat!

[latent ivy]

he's been a dev for like 2 years lol

[split flame]

Hey, I've been away for a while - almost 5 years, forgive me if I'm a bit out of touch :)

Lol. It's a nice mod tho, especially compared to the spooky meshflip stuff on sites like World of Mods.

[latent ivy]

that's fair enough lol i been around since like late 2014 but havent been on the forums with an account for very long, always lurked lol.

Also WoM is one of the worst modding sites out there imo

[split flame]

I agree with you on that

Yeah... I got Beam very early, was dazzled by the promise and then had a lot of other games and a lot of IRL to focus on. I came back early this year and found it was much more the game I wished it could be. But that's off-topic.

And now I want to dip my toe into modding. And fix a few tiny little things, like the D-Series not having a snorkel for it's Off-Road frame. Which makes it not-very-useful for the off-road maps.

[latent ivy]

https://discord.gg/3Fy86de

this is a good place to ask

[split flame]

Thank you!

[latent ivy]

super experienced modders and very friendly in general

[split flame]

Much appreciated.

[ocean musk]

Mod suggestion a repo tow truck I can't find any

[dusk dragon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/BeamNG/comments/o0bjfx/do_you_think_that_some_mods_should_be_paid_if_yes/

[latent ivy]

god dont even want that discussion starting

[dusk dragon]

I love to start wars

[latent ivy]

you might start screwing the beamng community even more

[tame crown]

screw me daddy

[dusk dragon]

Because the beamng community is just a fight on pause, just need a bit of fire to explode.

[dusk dragon]

yes

[tame crown]

my farts are flammable

[latent ivy]

it already did once and it screwed up peoples lives. Please dont do it again

[dusk dragon]

like everyone else

[dusk dragon]

"it screwed up peoples lives" xxDDDDDDD Hey, BeamNG is a video game we are not talking of a real war with real bullets Zack

[latent ivy]

oh im sorry let me rephrase then

[dusk dragon]

not our problem if people can't differentiate real life and beamng

[latent ivy]

it already did once and it screwed up my life for a whole year

better?

[dusk dragon]

how ? you're sensible ?

[latent ivy]

it literally killed one of my relationships people popular beamng modders tried to get me and my now ex to hate eachother

[dusk dragon]

don't really see how it could screw someone life, maybe you can be a bit sad for like 2 days but that's all

[latent ivy]

and it worked

because I helped make popular mods

this community is screwed up, dont like flames

[dusk dragon]

That's just personal drama with shitty modders, there's shitty people everywhere

[latent ivy]

you mean most of the top modders?

[dusk dragon]

that's not because you're on top that you're not shitty

[latent ivy]

what

[dusk dragon]

that's not because you're a top modder that you're not a shitty person

[latent ivy]

idk what you are trying to get at

but im trying to say, the community is toxic and setting it off can mess people up bad, so please do not try to do that stuff

[dusk dragon]

I'm just saying that there's shitty people everywhere, we should not stop living for them, it is rather the worst thing to do giving them importance.

[tame crown]

just

stop it

both of you

i joined this server again and i expected it to be better

[latent ivy]

there is but dont poke a bear

[tame crown]

isnt anymore

[latent ivy]

that is where you went wrong, this server is toxic like the community

[latent ivy]

because again ^

[tame crown]

yeah

this server is the community

anyway i better not talk

[dusk dragon]

Everyone expect the beamng community to be better, the only good places are small private servers. Plus, we only discuss, nothing wrong we do not insult each other.

[ocean flower]

Definitely 0 insults in this server, yeah

[tame crown]

yeah 0 insults

totally

[dusk dragon]

@latent ivy

For me actually, I think you're mixing it up a bit. You just met the wrong people, I don't see how a simple survey is going to break lives? On the contrary, if just a simple survey can break your life, it means that you have very very bad relationships that one day or another will end up hurting you. And so it's up to you to question yourself.

I've been in the BeamNG community since October 2020, I only keep relationships with people I trust and then everything is fine.

[dusk dragon]

@ocean flower I'm talking of my discussion with Zack

[tired coyote]

I mean
Yes
The community is toxic and the already toxic forums are only the tip of the iceberg

The beaming Reddit is even worse

For example

[latent ivy]

I met the wrong people? again im talking the top beamng modders at the time forming an 'anti (my name)' community. Not one person, or two, or three, but 10+

the people that ran the mod scene

[dusk dragon]

The fact that they are top modders doesn't change anything, on the contrary, using the status of some people as an argument to trust them is bad. A bad person is a bad person. Some modders are much worse than the majority of the community sometimes.

[latent ivy]

except

this community lives and dies by mods now

[dusk dragon]

And so ?

[latent ivy]

the top modders are the face of the community

their actions shape it

and they could not be sane

publicly attacking people and literally trying to damage modders lives because 'they are popular and we dont want them to be'

[dusk dragon]

hmm, I don't know. 99% of modders are not cringe noobs, and still the beamng community is know for it's noob part.

[latent ivy]

points at all the private modders showing off their mods knowing people like them and want them

the community is fame

not fun

and just like dogs, if they dont get fed, they will attack

the silent majority of modders are nice

but the top ones are not silent

just like mob bosses, they have followers

and they will attack if provoked

I can tell you are new to the whole beamng community if you dont remember the now nuked forum posts about this stuff

[dusk dragon]

meh, for me they are not noob, just self-centered people

[latent ivy]

I would say that if all they did was call me names

but they literally tried to damage my life outside of the beamng relm

they literally did all they can to destory an actual relationship

that is not just self-centered

[ocean flower]

Jesus

[dusk dragon]

Well I just don't care of other people that are not my friend, they are not mafia, they are not going to kill me, I go to the forums like 1 time per week xDDD

[latent ivy]

that is actual, potent and directed, toxicity

[latent ivy]

cool, but others are not like that, which is why I asked to please not start flame wars intentionally

there used to be another beamng discord, with thousands of people. Gone because of the toxicity... why do you think the devs never wanted to make one

[dusk dragon]

But... like... I don't even see how people could destroy my relationship, like I think maybe you mixed too much your life and Beamng discord.

[latent ivy]

explaining how it worked would require me to reveal a lot of personal details. But life is public these days so

[dusk dragon]

I don't start a flame wars intentionally. This is important subjects and we need to got the point of view of the community around it, just closing our eyes on this really important subject is stupid for me.

[dusk dragon]

Yeha sure I understand that.

[latent ivy]

you said yourself that you did

[dusk dragon]

For me, the best is really to separate life and beamng, it's really two different things that should not be mixed at any moment.

[latent ivy]

you said the whole point was to add a bit of fire so the fight starts up

[dusk dragon]

Well that was a joke xDDD

[latent ivy]

everyone says something is a joke when they want to take it back

[dusk dragon]

I'm just curious about the point of view of the community about this subject

[hidden tartan]

it's even written in italics, so one could easily tell it's a joke.

[dusk dragon]

Oh no, that's my typical humor, Dax probably know it

[ocean flower]

different points of view = discussion = fire and war

[latent ivy]

well even if it was a joke then, you dropped a hammer and hit the nail on the head

[dusk dragon]

different points of view = discussion = exchange of views, learning new information,...

[ocean flower]

Oh yeah! Never take a word from Kenny serious since is all sarcasm

[hidden tartan]

how about then just not assuming people are outright evil all the time?

[latent ivy]

oh I dont

[ocean flower]

Maybe on a polite server, but not here, definitely

[latent ivy]

but having been with beamng since the community was a skype group

[dusk dragon]

well the poll is not here, it's on reddit and for the moment it's rather calm and polite

[ocean flower]

for the moment

[dusk dragon]

for the moment

[latent ivy]

back in 2013 first release, being on call with people like drowsysam as 0.5.0.0 dropped and we all had to download it via the updater

I know the community

[ocean flower]

Good luck maintaining that calm

[latent ivy]

I have been lifted by the community

and I have had the community slap me in the face, shove me down, and spit on me

the 2nd one became popular

[ocean flower]

I'd have leaved it just by half of that

[latent ivy]

it exploded with the incident I had

then it dropped

but it is rising again

private mods are adding fuel

because back then it was cdaes

where you could compile your model and no one would see it

and that started a war

[tired coyote]

What's the expected explode date?

I wanna not be on then

Just to be sure

[latent ivy]

its like adding air to a balloon

you can see it growing but you dont know if it is gunna pop yet

[tired coyote]

Makes sense

[latent ivy]

you can say 'now' all you want but till it does you have no way of knowing

[ocean flower]

That's the best description i heard lmao

[tired coyote]

I remember there was like an actual war in the wbimp thread

Like 8,9 pages

Of straight up war

[latent ivy]

exactly, now imagine that but everywhere

because people learned they could lock their assets

but now we have private mods

dividing the community

imagine what will happen if people find out its ok to charge per update for mods

'you want a dodge charger? 5$ a month on pateron :)'

the minecraft community did it

just look at sonic ether

'5$ a month for wip stuff'

2-3 years later... its still wip and obfuscated

he doesnt have a reason to finish it

the minecraft reddit

is now ads for paid texture packs

that add 3-4 blocks a month

and to get updates its 10-15$ a month

[ocean flower]

Wtf

[latent ivy]

you think the people who have private mods wouldnt love to have 'wip' mods that kids steal their moms cards for?

or the people who would lock their mods behind a cdae so you could not add parts yourself

im surprised no one has learned you can run luac and just compiles all their lua mods so no one can read the code

because again, this whole community boils down to one thing

its not the fun of modding

its not making content to entertain

its fame

[tired coyote]

Wait that works?

[latent ivy]

everyone wants fame, and will do whatever they want

[latent ivy]

not anymore the devs patched it out

[ocean flower]

Yeah

Used to work

[latent ivy]

you used to not have to ship a dae, just a cdae

and nothing can open that

[hidden tartan]

gladly I'm old enough to not be part of all that "paid mods" shenanigans. grew up in pre steam counter strike and Q3 lul.

[ocean flower]

Happens a lot in the My Summer Car comunnity

[tired coyote]

Iirc cdae is smaller tho

[ocean flower]

Basically you can even lock a mod or execute a code by the steam name

[latent ivy]

there is no cdae importer. dae is ascii, cdae is binary and compiled by the game

someone could make one, but you need a lot of code knowledge

[tired coyote]

but wouldn't that mean that it's ""just"" the .dae file in binary?

[latent ivy]

Likely yes, the bare minimum

Just like disassembling compiled code

[dusk dragon]

Well of course there can be some problems, but then it's up to people to choose whether or not they want to put some money into this or that. It's like at the supermarket, if a product is too expensive and it's crap, you'll either choose another product or not buy anything, it's the same thing.

It doesn't change the fact that modders who want to should got the possibility paid, we're not talking about a week of work, but 1/2/6 months or more.

[latent ivy]

You are right, it is like the supermarket

Where every product is from one of 6 people and sometimes they work together to Jack up prices because they know you can't go elsewhere

What ever happened to donations

Like a mod? Drop a 10 bill via paypal

[hidden tartan]

ye, I'd rather donate every now and then instead of paying for mods regularly.

[latent ivy]

Making mods paid will make the norm to be paid, just like the norm is to be private right now

This isn't DCS

[hidden tartan]

donations have been around for like forever and that's fine. most communities (CS or Q3 or other games back in the day) ran servers and community services and people were quite inclined to donate, but pay to play is bollocks.

[latent ivy]

Community dlc will harm the game, because leaking is now illegal and people will go nuts

[dusk dragon]

That just doesn't work, either for small or huge Beamng Modders

[latent ivy]

It has worked for years

[hidden tartan]

well, I can't speak for beam modders, obviously. just stating that the possibility of having donations always worked quite well.

I have been part of several gaming/modding communities and that always worked. if anyone is into dayz: most of the big servers are being kept up by community donations.

[hidden tartan]

indeed.

[dusk dragon]

no, I tried it didn't work , LucasBE tried it it didn't work either if I remember well

[dusk dragon]

Leaking as always been illegal in fact xD

[hidden tartan]

well, that paid mod thingy might as well just be an established thingy now, so.. yea...

[rough tusk]

RIP Beamng.Blue

[hidden tartan]

unfortunately, I do have to add.

[rough tusk]

RIP in this case standing for rest in piss

[dusk dragon]

people just don't donate, they click on download they don't even read the description (same for the advices you tell them to do this or that and then in the reviews there's : 1 star "it don't work".) They consume mods like an overweight guy eat a Mc Donalds, they download they test they download they test...

[rough tusk]

cmon BeamNG Blue, whyd you have to leak the Veyron

[dusk dragon]

(excepted 2/3 people but they were my friends, I never got a donation by a random person personally)

[hidden tartan]

ye kemro, that might be specific to games which have multiple small mods like beam - as I said, that very donation based principle does work on other games and communities though. doesn't mean it would work all too well here. :)

[dusk dragon]

yeah, in fact on other games

there's also the thing that people have to find the websites, the mods,...
there's some work by people to found the mods

on beamng everything is on the official website (which is a good thing of course) so you got 5 new mods per days, people over-consume them, they don't take time to test everything, they don't take time to read description,... They look at the mod they think "oh ! it's nice I have to download it", they play with it 3 mins and then they search another mod.

that's how you got 100+ mods in like 1 month

[hidden tartan]

but I do have to say: I don't see modding for a game as a viable source of income. first of all, you're investing time and work to grasp the games modding structure/environment and to my understanding, that alone is some deliberately chosen stuff. there's no "right" for you to make some profit off of it.

I do see that point, kemro. I usually don't use mods. or if at all, only high quality mods. and well, if I see any, I wouldn't mind shooting them a fiver and encourage them to create more topnotch stuff.

[dusk dragon]

"a viable source of income" of course not, it's just a small + every months

[dusk dragon]

"that alone is some deliberately chosen stuff. there's no "right" for you to make some profit off of it."

Well if you learn Blender that's a deliberately choice, right ? Still people are selling 3D models on internet, same for a lot of softwares and quite everything.

If you learn to make pencils, you can sell this pencils

[hidden tartan]

true

[dusk dragon]

Yeah that's the whole point, pushing people to really invest time and money in some mods to really have fun with them and for a long time, and not just switching of mods every 2 mins

[hidden tartan]

yea, well, then it - in my eyes - ultimately boils down to "value good mods on your own" vs. "being forced to value mods by modders".

[dusk dragon]

you're not forced

it's like again, everything. You're going to play for hours and to really try to finish a game that you bought 60€ than a free game

it just allow people to really have fun and to try everything of a mod

you consume less, which is better

[hidden tartan]

that general statement is true in my eyes, but unsure of the rest: I've had expensive games and they didn't catch me as much as cheaper games did. it's a bit more nuanced than that black/white contrast imo.

but I get where you're coming from :>

[dusk dragon]

useless to have for example steam with 50 games with 15 unused games than a steam library with 10 games that you absolutely love

[dusk dragon]

well yeah of course

there's always some nuance

but we can't take into account everything

too complex

[hidden tartan]

interesting to have that civilized discussion about paid mods nonetheless ;D

even if we can't factor it all in.

[dusk dragon]

but for mods, if you want a firetruck and there's a firetruck mod that look nice on pics/vids there's not a lot of risks that you don't like the mod xDD

[dusk dragon]

well there's no point in insulting each other 😄

[hidden tartan]

well, physics could be crap and that'd be the deal breaker for me lul

[dusk dragon]

Oh yeah sure, that's why some videos of it could be nice before buying it

https://youtu.be/PAzk5HHVp7M

[fiery acorn]

i find that patreon and "join my discord to download 😉" has worked really well for many mods

[hidden tartan]

but did we play with fire? lul

[fiery acorn]

it's a pain in the butt to join 80 discord just to download a single file

but gives patreon more visibility

i'm 100% against paid mods but not at all against patreons

modding takes a lot of time

[dusk dragon]

Do you have example ?

[fiery acorn]

yeah, give me a sec

[dusk dragon]

Well if you can pay for patreon why you could not pay for just the mod ?

you pay for what you want

seem fair

[fiery acorn]

there's a huge difference between "give me money or you don't get the mod" and "download the mod and if you like it support my work"

this is really common nowadays

[dusk dragon]

Indeed, but again it's a personal choice for every modder.

[fiery acorn]

it is

and i'm against paid-only mods

[dusk dragon]

understandable

and with my personal experience with modding

I'm for paid mods

[hidden tartan]

ye, SRP are nice

[fiery acorn]

SRP owns

[dusk dragon]

"Assetto Corsa"

[hidden tartan]

so is ilja, the maker of CM

[dusk dragon]

Talking of Beamng here Pastry

[fiery acorn]

yes i know what SRP is a mod for

🤦‍♂️

it's an example my guy

you asked for an example of a "join my discord to dl" mod is

lol

[dusk dragon]

Yeah but you can't put an example from a communty to another community

[hidden tartan]

@dusk dragon still, the same principle applies. car/track mod for a car game.

[meager arch]

I think depending on the quality it might be a good idea to make some mods payed but at the same time I think it's a slippery slope
But I understand that modders who put months of work into something would want some kind of compensation

[dusk dragon]

Beamng community is not Assetto Corsa community

[fiery acorn]

i'm just saying - i wouldn't ever pay for a paid-only mod, but i have and i would support someone whose work i like on patreon. it's likely the case for many other people. i bet there's also people for whom the opposite applies: they'd pay for a mod but not support it on patreon

[hidden tartan]

well, I'd rather think "would be nice to have some compensation but I'm fine without any compensation as well."

[fiery acorn]

i'm just against paid mods in principle

i don't mod games as a career

[dusk dragon]

Well Patreon and donation from my experience and what I could see on the community are not really working for Beamng

[fiery acorn]

works for me

[hidden tartan]

ye, it's a hobby and therefore CAN turn a dime, but doesn't have to

[meager arch]

True that would be the ideal world but I think if you give people the option you might not get anyone to give you anything (or just a really small group) I might be wrong but yeah

[dusk dragon]

you can do paid drawing, it's not a career but a +

[fiery acorn]

modding is a naturally collaborative endeavor thats impossible to exist without someone's paid-for work

[dusk dragon]

You can show us ? Not that I don't believe you but it's nice to have new elements like this

[fiery acorn]

i make carp

[hidden tartan]

I think it depends on how you look at people, yo. I'm quite positive most of the time and if you give, people tend to give back most of the times. at least that's my experience. now I can't speak for minecraft kids though. heavily depends on what sort of people you cater to (or not).

[fiery acorn]

it's different imo from drawing or music or whatever

[dusk dragon]

Not really

[dusk dragon]

Carp ?

[fiery acorn]

jesus discord i tried not to embed it

there

[dusk dragon]

in a mod you're doing 3D modelling, texturing, coding,... All this three things are sold on the internet (3D modeling stuff, textures stuff, code stuff), so it's even more strange that something that ask all of this should not be paid.

[fiery acorn]

i spend 10 hours a week writing code for carp

on my own free time

sometimes more, honestly

[dusk dragon]

And that's a personal choice from you

[fiery acorn]

of course it is

why aren't you making unity/ue4 assets?

way more profitable and honestly easier

[meager arch]

That's good to hear! I think no one can speak for the minecraft kids lol but yeah if it works it works no need to change it if it does
And if someone wants to make money from mods they could also do commissions, that way all mods stay open for everyone except if you want something really specific

[dusk dragon]

because I like the fact that you create stuff that you can directly use in a game

[fiery acorn]

uh... lol

[dusk dragon]

?

[fiery acorn]

do you know what unity/ue4 assets are

hahaha

[dusk dragon]

I know what they are

[hidden tartan]

yea, he does

[fiery acorn]

in any case this is all highly subjective

[hidden tartan]

but you do make more use of a car in beam than a rock in UE4

[fiery acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-gif-15031984

we're not going to change each other's minds

[dusk dragon]

but I'm not a game creator, I can't just take my things put it on an empty map and then play with them and see other people playing with them directly

[hidden tartan]

and that's absolutely fine. :)

[fiery acorn]

of course it is!

[hidden tartan]

just wanted to add that :D

for good measure lol

I mean, at least kemro isn't for outright mod scamming - i.e. making low quali mods and sell them for way too much.

which is a big plus in itself

[fiery acorn]

yeah his mods are good

[dusk dragon]

For me my point of view is simple.

Modders should get the possibility to sell mods, it's a personal choice. For me again, based on my experience donations and patreons doesn't work on beamng (glad if it's working for you), and so selling mods is a good alternative, since all work should have the possibility to be paid, as again a personal choice.

😄

[hidden tartan]

well, the possibility of selling is fine, but you should allow users having the possibility of paying rather than the obligation.

so both sides have the possibility to exchange money, but don't have to.

[dusk dragon]

but since it doesn't work, there's no alternative

for me

at least

[hidden tartan]

didn't seem to work for you - zack stated otherwise

ha! :) <3

[dusk dragon]

Zack stated otherwise but was still talking of other communities than BeamNG

[fiery acorn]

unless beamNG devs come out and tell you you can't sell work based on their own, there's literally nothing stopping you from doing so

[dusk dragon]

Indeed

everyone got his own way

of doing things

and that's good

[fiery acorn]

most of the work in getting money out of your mods is about building a community

which is something i'm not good at and dislike

but it's necessary

[dusk dragon]

Building a community is nice but also can be really annoying and time consuming

[hidden tartan]

btw kemro, would you mind linking your best mod? :D

[fiery acorn]

not-F1

[hidden tartan]

feel free to shoot a DM

[fiery acorn]

can be? lmao it is 100% of the time

[dusk dragon]

The best way is to make a youtube channel I think, but again takes hours to make the videos

[dusk dragon]

Well I mean it depend of the number of people

20 people on a discord server is chill

100/150 is another thing

[dusk dragon]

Well best mod depend of your tastes ^^

[fiery acorn]

i've had 5000

it sucks

it's awful

[dusk dragon]

Yeah I guess xDDDDDD

[hidden tartan]

@dusk dragon road cars preferably! :D

[fiery acorn]

i really hate being a community lead

it's not fun

[dusk dragon]

Well for me it's a bit fun, but it's true that shitty dramas are... useless and annoying

[hidden tartan]

well, in the age of being toxic but at the same time a big crybaby, having a community isn't exactly easy, ye.

[dusk dragon]

Drama like "he said this to me on this server I hate him" " He took my mod here" "He said that I was a cunt"...

gosh they can be annoying

[fiery acorn]

the other day two people joined and they didnt like one another and argued for two entire hours

i was offline

[dusk dragon]

if I was online I would just have muted them xDDDDD tempmute is my best friend

[hidden tartan]

I just blocked all of you because you don't share my opinion and therefore offend me - every discussion, always, since 2020.

[dusk dragon]

I'm blocking you too, I don't like your name

xDDD

[hidden tartan]

fair point! I don't like it either!

I'll be better off blocking myself then

[dusk dragon]

Para ^

[hidden tartan]

hahahahha

[dusk dragon]

xDDD

[hidden tartan]

at least we all agreed that it's quality over quantity and that we should value other people's work in one way or another. that's progress as well :p

[dusk dragon]

Yeah indeed

only noob of 9 years old that should not be on discord and reddit and that don't have a way to pay something don't agree with the "work got a value". xD

[rough tusk]

it looks really tall

the roof section feels odd

but otherwise, looks pretty noice

[hidden tartan]

well, if it's going to be a british car, it might as well be fine :D or russian.

[boreal charm]

well fuck me for following how the thing looks irl

[frank kelp]

Getting criticized for accuracy

[sage gust]

Bruh why do people criticize before its done lmao

[latent ivy]

I'd like a Nissan Tsuru mod------- Its gonna be RWD with Rear engine?

[boreal charm]

pretty sure theres already been a sentra

[latent ivy]

Yeah but The Tsuru its missing

[feral pawn]

changed the idea for my 4 rotor project
its in a covet instead

streached the front and made a tube framed front end

[ocean musk]

Suggestion repo car

[feral pawn]

eventually

there is alot to do still

[latent ivy]

I6 rottary engine?

[feral pawn]

Nope

4 rotor

[minor mist]

why does it have 6 then

6 = 4

[meager arch]

4 rotor housings + 2 end caps = 6 segments

[feral pawn]

exactly

if there isn't one on the official beamng website then it most likely doesn't exist or isn't public

[jaunty briar]

not truw

*true

you can get mods everywhere for beam like assetto corsa recycles some of its tracks

but did you check out race dept

[feral pawn]

thats called stealing

[jaunty briar]

crd

Who has a temp name?

ohh you got me there he he 🙄

but @latent ivy yea you can totally find all types of mods just google bing or what ever and some of the same mods used fro assetto are used here as well so look in places where there are assetto mods

[feral pawn]

smart idea ||if you want a virus||

[tired coyote]

There is an Mk5 in agentmooshroom5's pack

[late swallow]

Help

How do i play online?

[dusk dragon]

[late swallow]

Link?

[dusk dragon]

google is your best friend

[frosty swan]

Hey, was Hirochi raceway textures changed, a modded map is trying to use hirochi_raceway textures and is not able to create them

mostly groundcover

[terse sandal]

If anyone wants to attempt this they can, but there is a mod for a soviet siren. And the comments section was all about the zil 130. So, theres a suggestion if youve got time. :>

[modern pilot]

i need some help im new to beamng and i could use some suggestions for some well known and commonly used mods

[rustic cedar]

step 1: check how much storage you have

[modern pilot]

i have planty

[rustic cedar]

ok good

step 2: get anything that looks cool

i mean anything

[modern pilot]

ok lol

i pretty much did

[rustic cedar]

nice

[quaint flint]

highly recommend viewing some of the mods on this page (p.s, the oldfullsize has an addon that adds the classic chevorlet caprice; https://www.beamng.com/threads/american-80s-fullsize-series.44514/) @modern pilot

https://www.beamng.com/threads/must-have-mods-for-new-players-community-feedback-welcome.59752/

[boreal charm]

thx

[stiff pasture]

are there any Toyota Prius mods? (sorry if this isnt the channel)

[latent ivy]

so@ @ocean flower when modeling, texturizing is hard?

[ocean flower]

Depends what are you trying to texture

I'm not really an expert in that xD
But well, applying textures for renderings isn't a hard task

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/803440822979657748/853759410640125962/Room_3.png This is one of the renders i've made, texturing the floor is an easy task and the tutorial i sent you teaches how to

[latent ivy]

I think imma start watching tutorials. Imma sacrifice my drawing hobbie for this :_)

[ocean flower]

I draw too xD

[latent ivy]

Usually it takes me 2 hours to finish one drawing with a single character

And sometimes 3 days

[ocean flower]

Ah, quite curious how they look :p

[latent ivy]

I'm still a begginer so they're that good

I just got my Graphic Tablet 6 months ago

[ocean flower]

Cool!

[feral pawn]

does anybody know of a map with damageable buildings

[tired coyote]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/gas-station-experimental-unfinished.57155/

[muted frost]

thanks man

i really appreciate it

[cursive moon]

Hello, could someone possibly make or suggest a track which is straight, and that has many different road surfaces?
I am blind so cannot make one myself, also I want something that I can enjoy without crashing into things.
Something like grid map would be nice, but with different terranes to drive on and a few jumps to have fun getting air.

[latent ivy]

Someone has a good audi A7 mod?

[rough tusk]

how are you playing beamng while blind, if you dont mind me asking?

[latent ivy]

how would they even get here and type that message

[rough tusk]

actually yeah thats a better question

abslutely no typos

aaand i managed to make a typo

[latent ivy]

Does anyone here know a console command to induce physical engine damage (i.e rough idling, misfiring, random shutoffs)

[atomic plover]

any rx7 mods?

[worldly shuttle]

Yes but its outdated

[mighty basin]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/mazda-rx-7-iii-updated.57461/

Still works decently

[cursive moon]

@latent ivy I have software called a screen reader on my phone, laptop etc that speaks out the contents of the screen, like your messages, websites etc. As for typing, blind people have a system known as braille which allows them to read/write by touching. We use a machine called a brailler, which has 3 keys each on the left and right. with that said, I have software on my phone that allows me to use it like a brailler when typing so even though I can still use a normal keyboard, this way is much faster for me.

As for playing beam, I memorise some of the menues, and mainly just play on the grid map because there's nothing to crash into, but it's only one flat texture hence why I'm looking for a custom map. I also play other games and use sound as my primary method of orientation, like the NFS underground series for example I win people on drag races because I know what the engines sound like so I know when to shift in time without over revving

[shadow gorge]

no

[random plank]

what mod should i download?

[pseudo cypress]

When I use it it crashes the game though. And I'm having trouble sourcing out the causes

[mighty basin]

Still does? For me it used to crash the game too, but in the latest version it doesn't anymore hmm

[pseudo cypress]

I'll try it then

[latent ivy]

dont spawn in the normal one

spawn the panspeed race or drift

and change out thje body panels in settings

there is something in the original setup that causes the game to crash

and basically just keep the interior racy, but change exterior

[pseudo cypress]

Well nvm then

Mods too finicky and I don't know what parts break it. Plus if traffic spawns one my game is toast

This is why I asked if a fan made a fix for it like the AE86

[latent ivy]

Soon I will make a mod that isn't a donut

[hollow monolith]

I need help with something

Within beamNG the map editor

Im trying to create rivers but I cannot seem to make the rivers move

Like move objects

(Ping me if you know how to do it
I might be in another server at the time someone reads this)

[ocean flower]

Don't download from 3rd party sites, please

[latent ivy]

hey, do you guys have any suggestion for ai that i can use in a police roleplay

sorry i am new to the game

[latent ivy]

Can someone delete this link

[ancient robin]

dose any one have a link to a heilcoter

[latent ivy]

no

[umbral drift]

A sneak peek of a mod I am working on

[hollow monolith]

Lemmie guess

[tired coyote]

W I D E A X L E

[hollow monolith]

the WIDEover

[polar roost]

anyone got an E46 mod?

[drowsy leaf]

does anyone remember a realistic i6 for the etk-i

it had moving cams

o nvm found it

[leaden pine]

The I28?

Is-28?

[latent ivy]

its gonna be a hell modifiying this miata.... :_ )

[latent ivy]

I'm seeing that the parts of the miata and those are faces.... How do i turn nodes into faces?

[ocean flower]

Go into verts mode

[latent ivy]

alr thx Dax... I need to experiment with this car to see with which vert its easier to work

[ocean flower]

You should experiment with vanilla cars

That miata, if is the same i'm thinking of has a lot of modelling issues

[latent ivy]

agreed

I'm trying to find the ETK-I blend.... I dont see it

[ocean flower]

Do you mean the dae

etkc iirc

[latent ivy]

Oh its called like that?

[tired coyote]

it's etki.dae

or more should be

yep it's etki.dae

[latent ivy]

Alr thx..... for the mod I'm planning to do I think i'll only need to modify interior, doors, bumpers and headlights

[latent ivy]

And blender doesn't want to open it or detect it

I have it on my desktop :/ and it doesn't appear

[sweet scroll]

Are there any uk maps? I've found a few but are there any more?

[umbral drift]

Is this that one with the magazines and the bag in the back?

[latent ivy]

Idk I just clicked the archive that said mrx5.blend

[umbral drift]

Ah, I see. I also tried my hand at making a miata mod from an overly complicated model lol

[ocean flower]

Sorry, ekti.dae thought you said etk-k

[ocean flower]

Cause you're trying to open it, go to import<dae

[latent ivy]

Let's say it worked LOL

[ocean flower]

how do you fuck up a dae lol

[latent ivy]

I just imported it xD

Imma import it again

[ocean flower]

Start a new project

And import

[tired coyote]

In some newer blender versions

Old game daes are fricked

You have to install an older version for it to work

[ocean flower]

I'd recommend Blender 2.8

[ocean flower]

Honestly, never got a problem with 2.8

Some of the cars need edge split tho

[latent ivy]

Still fucked up ..... Time to install old blender

[rough tusk]

I-Series noises

[latent ivy]

2.80 right?

[ocean flower]

Yeah

[latent ivy]

This hurts my mind :(

[tired coyote]

try 2.90 it works for me

[latent ivy]

Lets see..... I hope this one works

[latent ivy]

YES!!!

Now to remove some useless parts :)

[sweet scroll]

Are there any uk maps? I've found a few but are there any more?

[quasi mango]

i use material view

it makes it appear properly

[umbral drift]

For when you want to have a higher top speed, but can't be bothered to change the transmission.

[latent ivy]

noep

[sweet scroll]

ok, i think i found enough tho so it doesnt really matter

[daring kite]

Should I relez?

[latent ivy]

[latent ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cry-crying-tears-broken-gif-15062040

s2000 is best Vtec

[wraith fog]

s2000 looks absolutely guuud

i like it

not as much as the mini or the beetle or the miata, but i truly like it

[flat gust]

Is there a mod that makes it so you can enable autopilot in a click of a button other than going through that huge ai to set it up? If not that would be a great mod :D

[sweet scroll]

i tried looking for one yesterday but i couldnt find one

[mental geode]

S2k k swap imagine

[ebon maple]

is there a mod that adds a toyota hilux

[mental geode]

Idk i think there is one that makes the d series look like a toyota pickup or 4runner

[ebon maple]

oh ok. thanks

[ebon maple]

lifted v8 😮

amazing

i dont see that mod in the repository. any idea why?

[mental geode]

Automation

That is not shown without a Filter

[ebon maple]

oooh

dont they have bad physics?

[mental geode]

Crsh physics yees

Cuz they dont have seperated parts and the body jbeam is set up like it was a prop

[agile geode]

can someone help me with a beamp issue?

beammp

[mental geode]

I cant sry

But try on the beammp server

[latent ivy]

i dont have anything about K-swapping

but K-Swapping an S2k is like LS swapping an rx-7

sure for a track build its a good idea

but swapping out the f20c seems like such a waste for me

[mental geode]

Or like recently everyone does with the miata:
EcoTec Swap

[latent ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/eww-gross-ew-no-puke-gif-16744341

im a purist

But even if you want to track it

[mental geode]

Yea

Me too

[latent ivy]

the f20c is MORE than capable

the only car that i would swap and daily too

is K-swapping an elise

and supercharging it as well

[mental geode]

Yea

[latent ivy]

then the elise becomes god tier

[mental geode]

What I would do: Take a Mk6 Fiesta ST150 and supercharge it

[latent ivy]

dont get me wrong, the elise's toyota engine is extremely reliable, but that k engine

:p

[latent ivy]

thats actually not a bad idea

[mental geode]

VTEC

[mental geode]

Ye cuz I love fiestas

[latent ivy]

im more of a golf gti guy but fiestas are pretty cool too

[mental geode]

The Mk7 cant be improved anymore, especially the st200, so I would project car the mk6 ST150

[rough tusk]

an it got leaked

it used to be private

but...

[mental geode]

Yea

[rough tusk]

some certian youtuber leaked it

[latent ivy]

yeah i remember that

[rough tusk]

cough cough Beamng.Blue cough cough

[mental geode]

Ye i wanted that and that challenger so badly

[rough tusk]

the challenger was also leaked

[latent ivy]

everything gets leaked

more people quit or go private

[rough tusk]

private mods tend to last about a month at most

[mental geode]

Yap thats why I always released my mods

[latent ivy]

by private i mean the guy only makes mods for his circle of friends

Beam Ng modding is an exact copy of AC modding

[rough tusk]

yeah, i had access to both the Challenger and the Bugatti before they were leaked

[latent ivy]

god its a shit show rn with Ac modding

[rough tusk]

im waiting for someone to put the Matress Sport into assetto

[latent ivy]

lmao

[rough tusk]

i cannot explain how much i want to drive that around the nurburgring

[latent ivy]

taking soft body physics to a whole new level xD

[mental geode]

Then i am waiting for jimmy broadbent to yeet it through the Nürburgring

[rough tusk]

J I M M E R

[mental geode]

I am rly waiting for a fiesta mk 6 or 7 mod

[latent ivy]

i think theres a private one

[mental geode]

[rough tusk]

you know what i really want? some kind of Ferrari 360. Civetta variant or not

i dont want any kind of new supercar, that would be really hard to make

[mental geode]

Or an alpine

[latent ivy]

i want a porsche 917k mod

[rough tusk]

an early 2000s one is perfect

imagine cruising through italy in a Ferrari 360

it would feel perfect

[mental geode]

Or a tvr like thing

[latent ivy]

there are so many private mods and im pretty sure ive seen this private

its so frustrating

[rough tusk]

nah, a TVR wouldnt have the same charm in italy

[shadow gorge]

the challenger was released on the forums after it got leaked

[mental geode]

Hell unsave hideously looking and very fast

[rough tusk]

maybe if there was a UK map, the TVR idea would work

[mental geode]

And a GB map

[rough tusk]

TVRs are literal deathtraps
