[edgy sand]

Please do not upload mods, only get them from the fourm or repo as people can put viruses in them

[barren hollow]

Yes

[pseudo dune]

hello guys , can anyone help me make a mod for economy /money and a inventory of cars for online that only admin can give money ?if this is possible

[timid stratus]

This would be more relevent on BeamMP or KissMP Discord

[tender summit]

i know there is a dodge charger mod but how do i find it

it is a newer style dodge charger

[pseudo dune]

no one reply lol

[timid stratus]

Cuz people are not going to explain you how to make a whole plug-in

You'll need to understand by yourself using the documentation I think

[sacred dawn]

anyone know a accurate route 66 replica map?

[zenith cloud]

that folder was from the forums

[stable pivot]

I don't think there's ever been a mod that adds steer horns to the front of any car in BeamNG

[past widget]

that'd be sweet

[rough tusk]

i believe it was taken down

[feral anchor]

the 2015-2020 charger was taken down a while ago, before the pbr update. i don't think the mod is still functional, unless someone else tested it and knows otherwise

[summer sentinel]

anyone here use the mod crazy contraption?

I can't seem to get it working

[winter rampart]

Go to UI apps and add it

[summer sentinel]

well I added it but the button won't show up

@winter rampart

[winter rampart]

In UI apps?

[summer sentinel]

ya

[winter rampart]

If you add it in UI apps and it shows on screen it shouldn't go away

[summer sentinel]

but when I click the checkmark it won't show the button that you need to click

@winter rampart

[winter rampart]

Umm

Click the plus button and add it

Oh wait what

Try changing size of it

[summer sentinel]

not working

[idle flame]

If its the one with a blue thumbnail pic in game it works fine

Are there multiple multiplayer mods or just one?

[lyric cedar]

No

[fathom yacht]

hello i want to ask for help in making uvs in car mod

[feral anchor]

#modding-general

for all of your modding assistance needs

[reef flint]

It still works I have it

[wise oyster]

Are there any go kart mods in Beamng Drive ?

[halcyon ermine]

any good NISSAN mods?

[sturdy bramble]

?

yes

[halcyon ermine]

send link plz

i cant find them

[sturdy bramble]

download

beam mp

and go public server and search real cars

[ebon saddle]

Not a good idea, since some of those mods are used without permission from the mod maker.

[sturdy bramble]

srry im not good

[ebon saddle]

No probs man.

[solemn lintel]

can someone reccomend a place to get mods

[latent ivy]

beamng repo on the official site only

no other site is good or safe

[solemn lintel]

i normally use mod land and that has tones of amazing cars just got most of them plus there real cars

[latent ivy]

never use mod land

never use external sites

unless you like the risk of getting a virus of course

while also degrading your beamng experience

[shadow gorge]

and disrespecting actual mod creators

[ebon saddle]

How to fix de dacia Logan mod of stivs?

[surreal geyser]

[ebon saddle]

[small olive]

Finally remade chisai ute

[compact ruin]

since its common in japanese cars

[small olive]

yep

[compact ruin]

[small olive]

as it was super rare for 1980s shitboxes to have it

[thin musk]

anyone in here knowing if theres a mod that adds awd to 200bx and covet?

[past widget]

idk, but it'd be cool tho

[thin musk]

[devout solstice]

[fathom yacht]

hi

i dont know how to make 3d model doors and other stuff

[bright swan]

Does anyone have the link to the bolide ramp car

[zenith cloud]

holy shit you're lazy

you're so lazy im not even going to help you

just search "bolide ramp car" on google

[onyx dirge]

Nice About Me
This isn't a standalone mod and searching that will give you YouTubers who don't link the mod in the descriptions. Took me a while to even find a reference to the pack it's from.

[onyx dirge]

It's part of this Mad Mod
https://www.beamng.com/resources/javielucho-mad-mod.1395/

Last updated almost 4 years ago though so it might just be broken

[tired coyote]

Well the bolide hasn't seen anything new in years apart from the Pbr textures recently

There's still a good chance it works

[onyx dirge]

Yeah but the pack as a whole may break things

[tired coyote]

I was about to write something like that

[spiral roost]

It’s broken

[spiral roost]

It’s broken big time the only thing that works is the rat rod in that pack

[dark siren]

Oh this was one of the best mods at the time, I remember getting excited for the updates. I wish he continued supporting it. Btw do you know why carjumparena stopped getting updates .

Cja's author even posted trailers for a new update few years ago then just puff gone.

[bright swan]

Thanks

[bright swan]

Thanks for your help

[bright swan]

Thanks for the info

[sturdy bramble]

[shadow gorge]

[coarse pivot]

Yo i need help using some mods

I downloaded some mods for some bugatti and i can see them in my mod loader but i cant find them within my vehicle selector

[ebon saddle]

did u enable the [*] 'show custom configurations' box?

[keen venture]

Was curios on where I can find like the top car mods, or just mods in general?

[ebon saddle]

beamng forums, or some youtube videos

[zenith cloud]

it took me less minute

[latent ivy]

It is on the first page of google, but its the kinda thing that it doesnt link you to the mod, but the 4th page of the discussion so if you didnt know it was part of the mod you wouldnt even check it

[rain pier]

me try to figure out however the heck the new skinning system works so i can use overlays on the wigeon

they no longer use overlay maps

[latent ivy]

does enyone know a map that has a clean gutter so i can do a gutter run

becouse all the other maps have bad gutters

or shallow gutters i want DEEP gutters

i can port one for you lol

like a touge from assetto

[true python]

is there some kind of mod that adds a big spike or bayonet to the front of a car, not like the ram plow but just a spike

[latent ivy]

sure

do you know one that you might want?

[chilly crown]

hey does anyone remember this rebadged roamer?

i think it was a gm or a chevy or a ford

had it ages ago

i can merely remember it

yes

i finally found it

it was gmc

this

[latent ivy]

enything that i can gutter run

[trim ruin]

Is anybody working on a GoodWood Hillclimb mod? If I'd know how to make maps, I'd make it.

[latent ivy]

i can port it from assetto

@trim ruin

[trim ruin]

I've send you a dm!

[ebon marsh]

so what can one do, if he wants a specific car in beamng as a mod? are there any modders who´d be willing to do it for a couple of bucks (i get that a couple of bucks would not be anywhere enough for the time put in, but i guess you can understand the consumer´s site as well)? i´m kind of surprised that there aren´t any modders who offer their private cars for money, probably because of leaks?

i´d love to have a toyota avensis in the car, seems random but it was my first car so im sort of nostalgic

[timid stratus]

Hi guys, I made a syntax color for Notepad++ for JBeam

[boreal shell]

Hello, i was wondering which of these files in the content/vehicle folder pertains to this car?

[winged spire]

That would be sunburst.zip

[boreal shell]

oh thanks dude :)

[graceful shoal]

hey guys.. i realy want the new nix crawler pack 1.5....hey guy, I really want this mod as it looks really good and my buddy has it its awesome. But I'm having trouble to install it iguess? I tried with the repository and manually and it doesn't work...cleared the cache updated everything uninstalled and installed back all my mods(only have like 10 mods all trucks).i also have every other nix mods they all work great, unpacked and packed. Nothing seems to work. anybody would know or have a trick that i do not know?? thanks for the help

[quick tundra]

https://youtu.be/-ZoDZMQX6Cg Anyone know what mod puts that rotator lightbar on the tow truck in the title image?

[rain pier]

automation test track

[elder hatch]

I'm Looking for the Nürburgring Nordschleife does somebody have a link of it? I Have seen some picture's from that map with the new Pbr Material's/Texture's

[small olive]

dont mind the thumbnails as they are not generated yet

neither are performance stats

[latent ivy]

can someone make a mod that makes invincible/not inflatible tires? plsss

[limpid lichen]

Stop spamming, that would be super difficult, almost impossible, it would take months if not years, and every update will break it

[latent ivy]

but with that 10 deo volente car the tires wont break too

[small olive]

yo i forgot how to set up work.json for specific configs

can someone help

[rain pier]

i can't force the wigeon to take a color pallette map like i forced the pre update legran to have an overlay

guess I'm not skinning the wigeon

[zenith cloud]

where do i find vanilla cars?

theres nothing in modding resources

only fonts

[rain pier]

steam/steamapps/common/beamng/content/vehicles

[zenith cloud]

no i meant the 3d models

[rain pier]

should be one of the files in the vehicles respective folder

[zenith cloud]

found it, ty

gearbox no engine

lol

this is shockingly high poly

actually wait i think that might just be because its triangulated

[latent ivy]

does enyone have a link for a yugo

[coarse pivot]

where is this?

[zenith cloud]

im making a stripped race car interior

would a digital dash be easy or should i just keep the analog ones?

[coarse pivot]

I clicked the "show custom vehicles in vehicle selector" and they still didnt show up

[rain pier]

I DID IT

you just needed to ad the line
"baseColorMap": "vehicles/wigeon/your_skin_name.png",
AND
"diffuseMapUseUV": 1,

[latent ivy]

Is that easy to It? I want to do a skin too

[rain pier]

I mean you need previous skinning experience to set up the jbeam and stuff

[tired coyote]

Somewhere in common.zip/vehicles/common/pigeon and the pigeon_mechanical.dae (I think)

[zenith cloud]

i dont need the engine

i just thought it was funny it came with a gearbox but not an engine

although, wouldnt that give me the pigeon engine?

[tired coyote]

The pigeon and wigeon share engines

And the respective models

Which is why they're in common

[zenith cloud]

but then id still get pigeon/wigeon engines?

[tired coyote]

Yea

The frame is in common, too

[zenith cloud]

but its a unibody

[buoyant dragon]

it isnt a pigeon lol

[tired coyote]

The wigeon/pigeon? Nah

You even have a "frame" part

[zenith cloud]

this isnt neither

[tired coyote]

i am very confused right now

Oh it's the wendover

Bruh am dumb

Sorry m8

[zenith cloud]

no

its a k series

[tired coyote]

???

I need sleep

[zenith cloud]

perhaps

[tired coyote]

Speaking of sleep

Goodnight

(if you call this a rocket bunny or whatever drift kit i will kill you in real life, this is a gt3 kit inspired by the m6 gt3.)

[zenith cloud]

gn

[frank kelp]

when the shading is

[dusk dragon]

Modders when someone leak their mods

[zenith cloud]

yeah i tried to fix it but it doesnt work

like

at all

also by the way

should i delete everything that im not going to change?

[last kelp]

what would it take to convert a mod to pbr

[unborn slate]

Red… r-… rocket 😁

[jagged ridge]

does anyone have the r34 gtr mod

nvm i found it

[buoyant dragon]

better not be from a random website

[shadow gorge]

well I had it from the official website (before it was taken down)

and its broken now

all of the suspension is now no texture

and the engine

also looks like doodoo now because no pbr

[faint imp]

There was a mod I had a couple of months back, it was a config for many cars for RHD but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have it? Thanks

[umbral stag]

I say strip the gauges and move everything to digidash. Either a steering wheel one like LucasBE's F2 & F320 or something like I-series digidash option from UCP modpack.

But honestly, digital dashes can be pretty hellish to make.

So just go for what you like.

[elder hatch]

Is There a good mod to slam vehicles?

[ebon saddle]

wentward jato, default vehicle in game

[elder hatch]

Like all default vehicles

[untold wolf]

did yalls mods get deleted in the new update/

?

[shadow gorge]

nope

[ebon saddle]

nope

[small olive]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-chisai.12852/ 2.0 is out

[shadow gorge]

very nice

[zenith cloud]

isnt it just a covet facelift?

thiis totally looks like a covet

[shadow gorge]

uh

its a kei car

its a very small covet

it isnt a facelift

kei car and facelift are completely diff things

[small olive]

read the description

lots of the stuff is different

only styling is similar to covet

its like the honda civic and honda city

or any other hatch and its kei counterpart for japan market for that matter

[zenith cloud]

massive family car

[small olive]

?

american brain

civics are different in other parts of the world

use google and type in 1986 civic

[latent ivy]

My first Mod is finish

[zenith cloud]

what is it

[winter rampart]

His pfp

[zenith cloud]

woah

[zenith cloud]

although you might need to change the wheel spacing

front too far in, rear too far out

you can change that in the tuning menu though

so it should be pretty easy to fix

[latent ivy]

yes I will still do it

[winter rampart]

How did you add custom textures?

Cus I'm trying to do that

And idk how

[latent ivy]

you have to create a folder

there you have to set the colors you want

little information

[winter rampart]

I just got the sunburst main materials file

And edited it

Would that not work?

[latent ivy]

my next mod because i'm going to make will be released

Mercedes X Class

[winter rampart]

Nice

Will you make a custom Jbeam?

[latent ivy]

yes

it will then be available for everyone to download

[zenith cloud]

how do i make my shading not look like it got the v8 supercar pitcrew treatment?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOcahb9rw1o

[winter rampart]

Turn up/down smoothness?

[chilly crown]

do not

this is a scam

[zenith cloud]

what

[winter rampart]

Like in the material

[zenith cloud]

its not a material

its just a matcap

[latent ivy]

can someone make a mod that makes invincible/not inflatible tires? so i can drive really fast XD

[winter rampart]

I think already exists

I think you can do it with vehicles global strength edit

[latent ivy]

is that a mod?

[winter rampart]

Yes

[latent ivy]

okay

ima try it

im donwloading it now

thx ima try it now

[winter rampart]

I think you just need to increase the deformation or breaking resistance

Read the instructions on how to use it

[latent ivy]

thx

[zenith cloud]

when the shading is sus 😔

[shadow gorge]

lmao

"american brain"

yeah old honda city's look completely diff

[small olive]

technically it was still a smaller counterpart to civic of that era

[frank kelp]

show polyflow

[frank kelp]

yeah that's uhh

not good

[zenith cloud]

it doesnt look as bad as it did but it still looks like someone tried to remove a dent by slamming the inner side of it with a hammer

[frank kelp]

• you're still using the etk's triangulated mesh

[zenith cloud]

how would i get the one that isnt?

theres no cars in modding resources

i have to use the ingame dae file

[frank kelp]

you untriangulate it by hand, or hit alt+J and pray that it works semi-correctly

[frank kelp]

yeah, now fix your polyflow

[zenith cloud]

mine or the stuff created wtih alt j?

[frank kelp]

yours

you want something like this

not like this

[zenith cloud]

is this fixed or just improved?

[zenith cloud]

idk man, that version looks kind of funky fresh 😳

[frank kelp]

just improved, already looks better tho

[zenith cloud]

although arent you kind of breaking that rule yourself?

[frank kelp]

what's wrong with that

[zenith cloud]

which places needs fixing?

[zenith cloud]

almost exclusively triangles

[frank kelp]

what's going on there

[frank kelp]

there's nothing wrong with triangles

[zenith cloud]

my best attempt at making it fit the fender

[zenith cloud]

didnt you say it should be untriangulated?

[frank kelp]

because it's easier to work on when it's untriangulated

doesn't mean there shouldn't be ANY triangles

[zenith cloud]

to me its fine as long as they dont use edge split

man i fucking hate edge split

i dont understand why people dont just use auto smooth

[frank kelp]

it's fine if the shading doesn't get fricked by triangles

[frank kelp]

because at the time it was easier for the devs to use edge split

[zenith cloud]

that is slightly fucked

[frank kelp]

how is it fucked mayt

[frank kelp]

are you have the stupid

[zenith cloud]

ohh, its the rear clamshell

i thought it was just a flat surface hence the confusion

[frank kelp]

[zenith cloud]

profesinglal gaminig

[zenith cloud]

@frank kelp

i dont know what is wrong with my topology on the front half of the fender but shading still fucky

recalculated the face area 100 times

[frank kelp]

already looking better

this entire edge loop is useless

[zenith cloud]

still borked

[frank kelp]

also wth is this

[zenith cloud]

already fixed

getting someone to do a mod for you is one of the most unlikely things i can think of

[vocal basin]

I can't install mods from the world of mods site, can anyone help me ???

[buoyant dragon]

dont install mods from there

only from the in game repository or https://www.beamng.com/resources/

[real laurel]

Hopefully someday, someone will make a 2021 BMW 330i-340i!! Awesome car, btw there is a 2021 BMW M3 G80 mod coming out in a week from my buddy, I will keep everyone posted and put the link

[shadow gorge]

yes

[frank kelp]

make it yourself if you want one

always a possibility

[inner plover]

Ive built a race car in automation and ive exported it to beamng and tested it, the steering is not great the front wheels slide when i steer should i make the front wheels bigger?

Its a mid engined car so there is not much weight at the front either

[real laurel]

True, very true. I just dont think Im capable but I should at least try!!

[frank kelp]

One thing's for sure and that is if you never try, you'll never be capable

[proven walrus]

Hi

How can we download Atlanto Map Mod for Beamng.drive?

[shadow gorge]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/atlanto.8787/ here

[proven walrus]

Thanks

[shadow gorge]

no problem

[real laurel]

Thank you so much, Ill def think about it. What all will it take, I hope thats not to much to ask for. I know about JBeam and all that kinds of stuff, what platform or application should I download to start working or planning. Thanks

[limpid lichen]

Blender and a text/code editor of your choice

[real laurel]

Okay!!

[small olive]

any suggestions for chisai besides lhd

?

[shadow gorge]

5cylinder😎

[small olive]

how about v5?

1250cc

basically another motorcycle engine swap

[shadow gorge]

That's sounds good

[small olive]

and i make a rally version featuring the engine

since ive removed previous rally version

as it was kinda shit

[shadow gorge]

Yesss

Excellent

[small olive]

started working on a model

[shadow gorge]

very nice

[hushed storm]

VR5?

[small olive]

nah not really

you can call it bootleg tiny 80s version

[hushed storm]

wait hows it work if its not a vr5

[small olive]

vr5 is just a name vw gave it

v5 engines are common in motorcycles

[hushed storm]

really?

i thought a VR engine is defined as a really low angle V with a shared head

and a normal V engine has separate heads

[small olive]

yea, but like its not gonna be called vr

like yk shared head v8 exists

[hushed storm]

no i dont know

[small olive]

probably trademarked or something

vr name

so cant go to repo

i can check tho

[hushed storm]

https://tenor.com/view/themoreyouknow-more-know-gif-4483207

[small olive]

well my bad, checked and it seems like its not trademarked

i guess it should be called vr then

kinda embarassing as i own a vr5 golf

xd

[hushed storm]

lol

but yea im looking it up on wikipedia and it does seem like VR is what VW called them but the layout is technically a V5

so youre right on that part?

assuming wikipedia is correct

[small olive]

yea i think so

but technically they made the engine with the layout

[hushed storm]

this explains the confusion lol

only ever V5 car engine

[small olive]

yeah

fun fact

bugatti w16 isnt really w16

then

[winter rampart]

Wait how have I never heard of a V5 Lol

[small olive]

since its the same layout as vr6 and vr5 golfs

xd

[hushed storm]

lol nice

[hushed storm]

because theres only one V5 car engine

ever

period

and its not very well known

[small olive]

and like it wasnt popular

neither common

as i own only 1 of 6 v5 golfs in latvia

and thats pretty close to germany

where it was only sold

[winter rampart]

Damn that's sick

[small olive]

*AQN ones not the ones with shittier pre-2002 enginr

[winter rampart]

How many were made?

[small olive]

No idea honestly

[hushed storm]

they sound sick too

[small olive]

Id estimate around 5k?

[winter rampart]

Was it a 6 speed manual?

[small olive]

There was 5k r32s produced

Even tho they are limited but they had the demand

[small olive]

5 speed

[winter rampart]

[small olive]

Gonna do a little shopping for it today

Might do resonator delete and put good aftermarket intake on it

[winter rampart]

Nice

[small olive]

My car yes

[winter rampart]

Isn't it good to keep a rare engine stock sometimes tho?

[small olive]

Ill keep stock parts dw

Also they can take a beating as they were produced the same way as bugatti engines

People supercharge stock ones

[winter rampart]

Quad turbo it 😎

[small olive]

Too expensive for a student lmao

Sc kit for it is about 7k + shipping

Turbo a little cheaper

[winter rampart]

This gonna be a sleeper lol

[hushed cobalt]

Make one with junk

100% safe

[small olive]

Nah thanks

Not into ruining cars

[winter rampart]

Nah add a blower

😎

[hushed cobalt]

Hairdryer

[agile mauve]

Add a Cold Air Intake. And improve your Throttle Response

[hushed cobalt]

100% safe too

[winter rampart]

#automotive ? Lol

[small olive]

[agile mauve]

[primal mason]

anyone know any decent mod making tutorials? i'd prefer something more ''beginner friendly'' since im new to blender and modding as a whole. But i don't mind if i half to learn some ropes*

[latent ivy]

1- You can't go straight to make a mod
2- You need to learn Blender basics
3- A good beginner tutorial channel is Blender Guru

[primal mason]

Alright thanks

[latent ivy]

Np

[open bridge]

Could anybody help me with creating a 2000 Chevy Cavalier in blender? I'm very new to the modding scene like im talking today years old. just dm me if you want cause that would be easier!

[green drift]

how do i put the dummy in the car?

[vivid charm]

i think there should be a seat option if its a vanilla car

[open bridge]

Yea

[green drift]

oh ok only vanilla cars ive seen people put them in modded cars and i have the same car that people have used but it has no option so that's why i was confused

thx tho

[open bridge]

or just make a mod....

[buoyant dragon]

its probably a different mod to that one

[green drift]

damm ok

[paper verge]

did they ever fix the passengers mod?

[green drift]

idk

[mystic kestrel]

Does anybody know where the folder is for the widgets?

Im looking for the minimap widget file thingy btw

[naive perch]

@versed tide

pleaze for help

[shadow gorge]

???

[still stone]

its an option of an vanilla car

you have to press ctrl and w and it opens

on one tab you can customize it

[quiet timber]

yo can somebody tell me any good alternative mod websites with realistic cars

[cloud pike]

there really isn't any outside of the forums that are reliable or have good quality mods

i can strongly recommend this mod though https://www.beamng.com/threads/improved-lamborghini-gallardo-v1-11-big-update.80412/

[quiet timber]

am i the only person who dosent know how to download mods that are downloaded files

[cloud pike]

It's easy, open your mod folder from the in-game mod menu then just put the mod in there

Then I think you might need to restart if it doesn't show up or work properly first time

[quiet timber]

oh ok

[round ember]

Good man deer

Im the tester for that mod before it was put up. What are your thoughts on it?

[pallid glade]

hi...! Just a question about some mods.... like Farmingpack have troubles with tires/tow hitch.

[cloud pike]

I got some testing too! It's great

It's the reason I recommend

[pallid glade]

is it possible to fix Texture/nodes glitch easly ?

[pallid glade]

🤔 have fix Textures

only unzip/zip replace file

but always freeze game after attach something

Can't move

[obsidian wolf]

Is there a well made LR Defender 110 mod?

[small olive]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-chisai.12852/ chisai 2.1 is out

[shadow gorge]

Very nice

[warm echo]

Is there aney foxbody mods?

[boreal shell]

anyone know of a fabia r5 knocking about the community? post 2015

[strange gorge]

Hey, can anyone take me to a place where I could download nordschleife laz0r scanned version?

[sand kettle]

https://www.mediafire.com/file/ts5non13t641ztb/ks_nord_v20210709shadowfix.zip/file here

the link is from the description of the yt video showing the map

[strange gorge]

Big thanks

[sand kettle]

no problem

[strange gorge]

Any good GTE or GT3 cars to start with as well? 🙂

[sand kettle]

nah - i don't have many mods that add vehicles

you'll have better luck asking other people

[strange gorge]

Thanks, maybe someone posts something here later 😉

[mystic kestrel]

AL15 is the best mod for beamng, change my mind

[sand kettle]

try https://beamng.com/resources/vehicle-global-strength-weight-size-and-other-values-edit-works-for-mods.14868/

[fierce wind]

X-post from modding-help: Should I reference the Wiki for anything about the materials.json file and its format?

I haven't touched beam in about a year

And modding in an even longer span

[mystic kestrel]

Ok that's pretty cool. Shaders are cooler tho😋

[sand kettle]

yeah, shaders are cool, but 3x3 pigeon with a bus engine is cooler - you can do all kinds of dumb stuff with this mod

[severe flame]

how do i get mods

[latent ivy]

go to beamng.com and then look in the mods tab

then just search for whatever you want

[tranquil burrow]

does anyone know if theres a good mod for a locker (differential)

and not one thats a selectable locker, a differential that locks when it detects slip

sorta like a really aggressive limited slip

[latent ivy]

depends for what you want that.

for trucks?

suvs.

[tranquil burrow]

yeah preferably a truck

d series

the limited slips ingame just dont do anything if a wheel is in the air so id like something more aggressive

[harsh coyote]

use gas and brake pedal at once

then the LSD will lock up better

[tranquil burrow]

i know but it still does nothing

the lsd is too soft for it

[latent ivy]

Well, I was looking in the forums for it.

[tranquil burrow]

itll drift and such no problem but the second a wheel goes in the air its useless

[harsh coyote]

wut

[tranquil burrow]

all applying the brakes will do is slow down the one wheel thats spinning

it hasnt helped it drive the loaded wheel

[harsh coyote]

lemme grab a video real quick

[tranquil burrow]

i mean if im doing something wrong thatd be perfect because then i dont need to go chase a mod down

[latent ivy]

well, your out of luck anyway. While a user tried to do a mod for this, it's nowhere to be found.

atleast not on the forums.

[tranquil burrow]

dang

[latent ivy]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/auto-locking-differential.67164/

So yeah, the idea was there, but not an actual mod representing this idea.

[tranquil burrow]

dangit

thanks for the help though

[latent ivy]

No problem :D

[harsh coyote]

on a 2WD vehicle you may have to use a handbrake instead of footbrake

[tranquil burrow]

@harsh coyoteshould i also include the traction control system then

[harsh coyote]

it helps

but you don't have to

[tranquil burrow]

okay because i prefer the more chaotic no traction control

ill experiment

[latent ivy]

yeah I think thats the best.

[harsh coyote]

here's a better example

[latent ivy]

You do know your way around this kinda stuff, I am interested and impressed.

[tranquil burrow]

what diffs are you using?

[harsh coyote]

you kinda learn that kind of stuff after messing about with vehicles for almost 4000hours in a signle game

open front and standard limited slip in the rear

[tranquil burrow]

yeah i only have 3k hours

lol

im gonna tyr it out though

i got the powertrain debug too that looks nice

[latent ivy]

also, I need to admit that gabester is the living legend. He made his name with mods in rigs of rods and in beamng.drive, he made his passion basiclly to a job.

I mean the cars he made...

[timid stratus]

Musics are even better though

[latent ivy]

huh?

[timid stratus]

He made all the musics BeamNG used on their Youtube channel (almost)

[latent ivy]

he is a multitalent.

no doubt.

[timid stratus]

http://gabefink.com/

[latent ivy]

and I wish he remasters all of the cars he made for rigs of rods and put them into beamng.

but ik what for a mammoth task that is.

[timid stratus]

I wish it was easier to make BeamNG vehicles with assisted tools

I think there would be much more ||good quality|| mods!

[harsh coyote]

its not hard

just takes a lot of time

[timid stratus]

It's not hard

but way too long exactly

[harsh coyote]

you can't go around that

to make a car you have to model it

[timid stratus]

Yeah but if we had a good quality in-game or visual beam editor with mirroring and all

[harsh coyote]

then you have to jbeam it

[timid stratus]

Without having to wait a 2 seconds to reload the car between each change

[harsh coyote]

and theres no way in hell you're jbeaming a car with just visual editor

especially one like nbe

[timid stratus]

Hence why we need good quality softwares

nbe is way too cheap

[harsh coyote]

I do 90% of my jbeaming with notepad and just reloading the car in game

[timid stratus]

A blender addon maybe idk

Yeah same but it takes way too much time

[harsh coyote]

blender addon just works for basic structure

[timid stratus]

I think the worst is to reload the car each time

[harsh coyote]

and that's quick and easy to make no matter what you use

fine tuning and working out the bugs is the part that takes absolute ages

[timid stratus]

Yeah but you could save hours if you could for example create triangles just by clicking nodes

and it makes the triangle idk

[harsh coyote]

you do exactly that in NBE

only thing nbe is good for btw

[fierce wind]

And if you use the Blender Add-On, you can export Triangles

[timid stratus]

There IS a blender addon?

[rocky arch]

are there any 2010 (ish) C class mods

[fierce wind]

It formats stuff pretty nicely

[fierce wind]

Yes

[timid stratus]

Oh noice, I meant like if there WAS one when I said this

[harsh coyote]

there is some old addon iirc

[timid stratus]

I didn't know there actually was one

[fierce wind]

It still works for me at the very least

[harsh coyote]

don't know many people that actually got it to work well

and even if it worked

its just NBE with blender controls

[fierce wind]

NBE is crash-prone.

Blender has stability at least

[timid stratus]

I wanted to make a JBeam editor but I thought making a blender addon would be much easier

[fierce wind]

And NBE has been outdated feature-wise for quite some time

Unless I've been missing something

[harsh coyote]

thing is

[timid stratus]

👀

[harsh coyote]

most addons/editors like that only work for simple stuff

like triangles

and basic structure for simpler stuff like props, maybe trailers

[fierce wind]

Wheels and whatnot always have to be hand-coded. There's no JBeam Editor that can do it that we have access to.

[timid stratus]

I don't understand why because being a programmer for years it would be "fairly" easy to make a full jbeam editor

But I'm too lazy to do so it would take ages

[harsh coyote]

once your jbeam file reaches lenght of 4500 lines

any visual editor will just make you loose your mind when you're trying to click that exact node

[fierce wind]

True

[harsh coyote]

which is why I only use NBE for basic stuff

[timid stratus]

I mean you're able to click the right vertice on Blender when you have like 500k vertices

[harsh coyote]

and then move to simple notepad

[timid stratus]

so why nodes wouldn't work

[harsh coyote]

jbeam doesn't work like a mesh

[timid stratus]

nodes are basically just doing a ultra low poly version of the 3d model

[harsh coyote]

its not just the outer structure

[fierce wind]

There's an inner structure

[timid stratus]

Yeah for inside ones it's more of a pain

[fierce wind]

Rigidify by triangulation

[harsh coyote]

you also have an inner structure

you have rigifier beams, torsionbeams

limiters

hydros

[fierce wind]

Have fun doing that in ANY Visual editor

[timid stratus]

Idk I still think it would be simpler

But I didn't try one so

[harsh coyote]

even something like a wentward bus

all you really can do in a visual editor fairly reliably is lay out nodes, collision triangles and maybe basic beam structure

[frank kelp]

if the visual editor was well made then it would be possible
separate visuals by .jbeam files etc

[timid stratus]

Yeah it's what I was thinking

wit the according 3d model for each

if any

[fierce wind]

Isn't NBE+ a WIP?

[harsh coyote]

but the moment you get to stuff like lenghtwise rigids, which essentially just overlap already existing beams

it becomes and utter pain

to see what you already did

[timid stratus]

You could add a tag to them

And hide them

[frank kelp]

also imagine if it would give you set beamSpring/damp based on nodeWeight, it would be amazing
so you'd have presets like "stiff" for certain beams etc

[harsh coyote]

good luck adding tag to every beam

[timid stratus]

Or show a different color if two nodes are overlapping

There is a lot of possibilities

[frank kelp]

like forget about NBE

see it as a really well made tool

[fierce wind]

The issue becomes Number of Overlaps

[frank kelp]

it could work

[timid stratus]

It would be a "beam type" button on the right

No need to overcomplicate stuff

[frank kelp]

or beam classification, you could hide certain types of beams etc

[fierce wind]

Write that down, write that down!

[harsh coyote]

my DT60L body has 2521 lines of just beams

with all the parameters and stuff

[timid stratus]

Basically a good JBeam editor is not so hard to do and would be very cool but it would take ages to do

[harsh coyote]

point is

[fierce wind]

"Not so hard" and "It would take ages" seem contradictory

[harsh coyote]

you really can't base it off mesh system

[timid stratus]

something being long as nothing to do with it being hard (and I am indeed talking abut programing)

[harsh coyote]

jbeam without crossbracing just ends in a floppy jello

[fierce wind]

How does the game react to many, many overlapping beams?

[timid stratus]

A program can be pretty straight forward and easy to do but extremely long with a lot of things to add

[fierce wind]

I see your point

[harsh coyote]

if they overwrite, it just uses the latest one

[fierce wind]

Ah

[timid stratus]

I think the easiest would be to do a powerful Blender addon

[fierce wind]

I have never understood suspension and how to make it rigid

[harsh coyote]

the less nodes it has the easier it is to make stable

[fierce wind]

I mean, like the suspension just gives out.

[harsh coyote]

high beamspring

[fierce wind]

It can't hold weight

[harsh coyote]

beamdeform

etc

[fierce wind]

Okay

[harsh coyote]

and proper triangulated structure

[fierce wind]

How do sounds work properly when you only have 5 samples for engine noise?

[harsh coyote]

they're blended together

based on stuff like rpm, load, throttle etc

[fierce wind]

There's an idle, and a high/low on/off-load.

[buoyant dragon]

dont the devs use more than blender for modeling?

[harsh coyote]

you can use whatever

blender is free and fairly easy to use

[fierce wind]

Is there a way to cap the pitch at redline?

[buoyant dragon]

a case against a blender addon though

[frank kelp]

some use maya I think

but blender is the go-to 3D modeling software these days

[buoyant dragon]

yup

for hard surface at least

[timid stratus]

I personally use "Free 3D model yourcarname"

Easiest software to use

[fierce wind]

Lol

[buoyant dragon]

not if you are trying to get something in lore

[harsh coyote]

if you can achieve the required polyflow, and do it efficiently you can use whatever

think someone tried 3ds max?

[frank kelp]

easiest but probably not the best if you're trying to do something beamng-specific

[timid stratus]

👀

why though

[harsh coyote]

polyflow

[timid stratus]

Also I was wondering if the 3D model mesh had an impact on how it reacts in game to crash

[timid stratus]

what is it?

[harsh coyote]

"organization" of the vertices

basically you want to ideally keep even vertice spacing between sections where possible

[timid stratus]

Oooh, I've done changes to my model I've done a huge massacre to the polyflow

[harsh coyote]

having it sorta follow the jbeam helps to reduce spiking as well

[timid stratus]

yeah I see

[harsh coyote]

example with the bus

[timid stratus]

I see

[harsh coyote]

and generally the more uniform the better

you also want to keep the poly count quite low

compared to a lot of other games

[timid stratus]

I see

interesting thanks

The thing BeamNG misses now is tearing and breaking simulation

Plastic breaking etc

[harsh coyote]

you can kinda tear stuff

[timid stratus]

would probably be way too hard on CPU

[timid stratus]

How though

[tired coyote]

You can rip/tear the bus roof for example

[timid stratus]

Oh, because it's two different parts in the 3D model

I mean like dynamic tearing

[harsh coyote]

nope

you have meshbraking

[timid stratus]

Oh like breakgroups?

[harsh coyote]

nope

breakgroups are for beams

doesn't look pretty

but it works

red beams are broken

[tired coyote]

Definitely better than unbreakable lnes

[timid stratus]

I thought those were bugs lol

[harsh coyote]

grey triangles are broken as well

[tired coyote]

Actually

Did that other articulated bus have a breakable joint

?

[harsh coyote]

nope

dunno why

mine didn't as well

making it breakable took like 2 hours

[tired coyote]

Damn

[harsh coyote]

last minute change

pretty much

[timid stratus]

"Last minute change"
"took like 2 hours"

That's pretty much JBeam definition xD

[fierce wind]

Ah yes. The English Language

[harsh coyote]

well, this bus was in the works for few months

[timid stratus]

yeah make sense it's fancy

[fierce wind]

BTW, how long has the Radio been down?

[harsh coyote]

probably since the last time one of us typed !play in the bot controlls thing

we have to do it every time the playlist ends

[fierce wind]

Can't loop it indefinitely?

[harsh coyote]

unfortunately not

[fierce wind]

Man

[timid stratus]

didn't even notice you were a moderator

I was like "why is he asking that"

[fierce wind]

The H-Series Hammer

[timid stratus]

haha, no the van hammer

[fierce wind]

There's a joke in there

[timid stratus]

I laughed when I saw it but I think the "YES texture" got me

[fierce wind]

[tired coyote]

Smh my head they ripped the yes texture idea from me 😤
https://www.beamng.com/threads/the-skin-pack.71939/

[timid stratus]

hahaha

[tired coyote]

Also

I made a mod that added roof bars to the pigeon

Since it wasn't in the update

before they did add it

So basically I mounted it on the box attachment and the next minor update brought the roof bars to the pigeon..

..mounted on the box

😂

[fierce wind]

[timid stratus]

same shit happened to me

I made a mod to add multiple sounds including the flat tire sound

and they added it the next update

[harsh coyote]

its bound that some mod stuff get added later on in official game updates

[timid stratus]

and it sounded exactly like mine

[harsh coyote]

often quite unrelated

[tired coyote]

Well they are allowed to do that so

I don't really care

Btw the wind UI app was also a mod at first

[fierce wind]

How do you set a pitch cap with sfxBlends?

[harsh coyote]

no idea, haven't played with them yet

[frank kelp]

can't cap pitch

[fierce wind]

Does the game estimate the pitch if I provide sound samples with different pitches?

[small olive]

What are you guys thinking about me making a wacky 2000s concept car for beam

Like to preserve some part of history and make a truly unique car

Currently deciding between this

And this

[low hawk]

The honda please

[round ember]

make the concept c8 from 1960s

corvette

thats a concept car that was forgotten

[small olive]

I want a wacky 00s concept

[round ember]

hmm

i could have sworn there was a mazda concept

[small olive]

Preferably electric

[round ember]

forgot what it was called

oh

[small olive]

And stupid shaped

[round ember]

then the peugeot

[buoyant dragon]

reminds me of an old mod

[low hawk]

What could be the problem when i add road textures to the road folder and the main.materials.json has everything in it and nothing appears in game? Not even the road textures that were there before.

[buoyant dragon]

finally found it lol

ovo 11

[umbral drift]

If I set the drivability of the roads in my map to less than 1, will that affect what cars spawn in traffic?

[latent ivy]

are there any maps somebody could recomend me with a lot of mud filled and flooded offroading trails?

[limpid lichen]

Right now I am not home, but I might be able to make one

[latent ivy]

i mean like a very large map

[limpid lichen]

Ah

[latent ivy]

y e s

[limpid lichen]

I don't have the skills or capability to make a large map

[latent ivy]

yeah thats why i was looking for a mod i could get now

[limpid lichen]

Try to get someone to import a mudrunner map

[latent ivy]

but i have no idea where to start

[zenith magnet]

will steam workshop ever be supported?

[hidden tartan]

why? they have their own repo, which works just as good, if not better.

[feral anchor]

nope, steam workshop won't be supported because it's more difficult to curate and moderate mod uploads that way afaik

[zenith magnet]

ok thanks

[buoyant dragon]

plus it alienates humble bundle owners

[long kraken]

Does anyone have any good tips on what mods to use for doing a 'kit-car' kinda thing in Beamng?

[hidden tartan]

you mean F2 kit cars like in early 2000s tarmac rally?

[long kraken]

No, more so just mods for Beamng that give you a broken/destroyed car, and then you can upgrade them into whatever you want

[buoyant dragon]

just make one

[hidden tartan]

well.. if you want that, then I'd just spawn the derby variants of cars and change parts?!

[buoyant dragon]

lots of videos of rp "barn finds" being rebuilt

[long kraken]

Alright thanks guys 😄

[upbeat forge]

what the fuuuuh is this?

[small olive]

xd

[shadow gorge]

Yes

Make the honda purple thing

Fuya-jo

[small olive]

yes

[ebon saddle]

shoooooooooort.

[shadow gorge]

Party car

[small olive]

its short

xd

[ebon saddle]

there ya go xD

[small olive]

very short yes

[shadow gorge]

Yis yis

Also you work very fast, holy crap

[small olive]

im probably gonna make it lore friendly

like ibishu concept

with small 30kw electric engine

[shadow gorge]

Ye

[feral anchor]

the interior kinda reminds me of another compact concept car

[shadow gorge]

is it the honda S-ΣX

[feral anchor]

ah, found it. it's the Chrysler akino

[shadow gorge]

aka the car honda made specifically for people to do uhm adult stuff

[hidden tartan]

wasn't it an self-driving car for people to go to parties?
