[robust coyote]

oh

[timber sail]

the rotech 830

[tranquil marsh]

That's why people hate meshlaps, they use models from other games which can handle higher detail because they don't have the same physics as this game does

Probably to do with other stuff too but idk, just know this game doesn't agree with higher poly models

[robust coyote]

no need high detail just slap a black plastic engine cover on the car like most cars nowadays

[shadow gorge]

Huh????

How many braincells does this guy have

[ebon saddle]

is this sarcasm? if yes, xD

[tranquil marsh]

No, you still will want detail but just not that much

[robust coyote]

what no every car is plastic engine cover nowadays and that guy say less poly=good

[tranquil marsh]

This game is realistic, that's why there is an underbody n such

[ebon saddle]

with every suspension component modelled

[tranquil marsh]

Yea

[robust coyote]

this is old car

[ebon saddle]

giant oil air filter

[robust coyote]

and this new car plastic

m powaah

[tranquil marsh]

Not many old cars have an engine cover so you need detail, this game has to have detail

You can still have detail without making it high poly

[robust coyote]

yes but if make new car then its easier to make low poly because engine plastic

[tranquil marsh]

You can still make a old car low poly

And newer cars will be higher poly than older cars because they have more fancy details

[robust coyote]

but old car engine is a mess

[tranquil marsh]

Newer cars are harder to work with

Older cars are more simple

Less detail 🤷‍♂️

[robust coyote]

ye

old car engine is like spaghetti and many part and new car is smooth plastic with a car brand emblem

[tranquil marsh]

Newer cars are messier, they have more wires than older cars so

[robust coyote]

ye but in game no need to have detail under the plastic beecause nobody will see it

[tranquil marsh]

Why do I bother

[drowsy leaf]

ignore fakeshadow

he takes too much tme to understand

[robust coyote]

whyt ignore

[drowsy leaf]

.

[robust coyote]

why u always mad to me?

aari you and everyone hates me 😦

[drowsy leaf]

noone hates u

[robust coyote]

everyone do 😦

[drowsy leaf]

u take too much time to understand things so ppl get pissed off

[robust coyote]

yes because im not good at typing simple things its hard to undeerstand my writings

Released on: 2014-11-10 whaaa kenrick lamar hood gone love it only 2014 i thought its like 2005 max

[drowsy leaf]

uh

wtf

ur talking about

[robust coyote]

i dont know

[tranquil marsh]

I'm not pissed

[drowsy leaf]

then dont say dumb stuff, thats why u hated

[glass stag]

Hi I wanted to fiddle a bit around with szenarios and I'm already struggeling with the first steps. Is that tutorial still up to date?

https://www.beamng.com/threads/introduction-to-scenarios-creation.14700/

[drowsy leaf]

maybe no bc the editor has changed

[glass stag]

I'm already failing to have my dummy szenario show up in the szenario list ingame

the documents/mods folder didn't exist for me, did that get moved somewhere else ?

[drowsy leaf]

probs

[glass stag]

y it got moved to \AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.23\mods

[young yacht]

its been there since 0.22 it aint new

[deep sierra]

how does one use Reshade

[wide oak]

How do you add a CVT engine to an Automation car?

[latent ivy]

Any good quality mods

[limpid lichen]

Anybody know if the helicopter mod still works? And if it does can somebody send a link? For the life of me I cannot find it on the repo

[quasi mango]

he is somewhat right though no point in modelling something no one would see

would you model the wires behind the door panel??

no

[drowsy leaf]

no but i mean

noone understands him

[quasi mango]

what he is fairly simple to understand

[drowsy leaf]

u understand this

[quasi mango]

hes basically saying whats the point of modelling something no one would see

[drowsy leaf]

that can be understood

but some things...

[quasi mango]

yes

he was talking about that song

he thought it was from 2005 but he was shocked that it was from 2014

[calm cloud]

I got a working helicopter mod but it's not on the beamng site any more

[limpid lichen]

Ah okay

[calm cloud]

But I can send it to you if u want

[robust coyote]

yes finally someone who understand me

[calm cloud]

What?

[robust coyote]

wow it got updated because not outdated anymore?

[granite lodge]

nice

[tranquil marsh]

You will see it

[timid stratus]

Tsutarja has made so many good bases

[tranquil marsh]

There are people who are picky like that and for a game that is realistic, it makes sense to do it

[latent ivy]

are there any mods for a 6x6 d series?

[foggy shard]

hnn

[granite lodge]

those seem a bit small

[foggy shard]

yeh

[latent ivy]

Mad taillights mmmm

[granite lodge]

angy taiwwights

[foggy shard]

lol

[latent ivy]

lol

Ok

[foggy shard]

i wonder where the shape came from O_O

[latent ivy]

Maybe an Owl?

Angy owl

[foggy shard]

the civetta logo .-.

[granite lodge]

its a little owl

[foggy shard]

yeh

[granite lodge]

and yes thats an actual bird

[latent ivy]

i was surprisingly right
even tho i didnt know that

[foggy shard]

lol

[granite lodge]

well it looks like an owl so

civetta is the name of a bird

in italian

[granite lodge]

good egnine

[onyx dirge]

Do other modders also get really demotivated when really unexpected problems happen lol?

[granite lodge]

do you have engine mounts on?

[onyx dirge]

Cause I knew that the issues with this car were

• Hood self collision
• Engine mounts bad
• Rear bumper attach bad

But now I just bent the entire rear frame 90 degrees through the boot lid and I'm just like
"Ugh, now I have to look into that"

[granite lodge]

thats a problem with the game engine i think, not the mod

[onyx dirge]

Nah I had the engaf0r and engaf0l too high

[latent ivy]

that happens a lot to me lol

[onyx dirge]

and they were basically intersecting the hood coltris

so the hood was always vibrating and under stress while closed

because it was being pushed on

[granite lodge]

oh

[onyx dirge]

Still some issue because with the hood latches removed it's partially stuck open

probably have my support beams precompressed too much

oh, I have no beam from ifrm2l to rf1l

and there should be because there's a beam there in the frame

Gg past me

All part of the learning process I suppose, but I kinda feel like 😬 looking at my older mods lol

[foggy shard]

here we go

decent rear shape

[feral anchor]

so judging by your name, i take it this is some sort of newer model year compact bolide

[spiral roost]

Mak dually pigeon

[sharp vapor]

wow how respectful

[ebon saddle]

Wow. That looks amazing now. Very very noice proportions

Also, just me or does the rear look a bit, tall?

Probably the camera angle imo

[weak briar]

That looks fantastic

[vital junco]

I am as well scared that it might have a too tall rear. If it gets designed well it might disappear how big it is but I would keep an eye on that.
Like, from the side it looks fine, just from the rear it seems big.

[ebon saddle]

Tbh, wider rear haunches would make negate it I guess

[misty wedge]

does anybody know any mercedes mods?

good mods?

E sedan?

i downloaded one but it isn’t showing

[ebon saddle]

mmm, most are probably private

[misty wedge]

i wanna use this

is this safe?

[hidden tartan]

worldofmods moment. no.

[misty wedge]

any good websites?

[ebon saddle]

beamng.com

[hidden tartan]

forum or repo. everything else isn't supported here.

[misty wedge]

do u know any good mercedes mods?

[ebon saddle]

I remember there used to be a meshslap e class wagon, in a group, buuut, no

[misty wedge]

anybody know any minivan mods?

[shadow gorge]

ibishu kashira

mk1 and mk2

[ebon saddle]

Ibishu kashira, mk1 and mk2.

Dang. I got ninjad.

[shadow gorge]

LMFAO

[ebon saddle]

xD

[hidden tartan]

no and I don't care about real car mods :P

[misty wedge]

they are outdated?

[ebon saddle]

Ehhh, yeah..

[misty wedge]

it’s outdated so can i use it?

[ebon saddle]

What do you think?

[misty wedge]

no?

[ebon saddle]

Correct. It might break stuff.

[misty wedge]

sad

is there any other minivans ?

[shadow gorge]

nope

[misty wedge]

no i don’t sadly

trustable?

[hidden tartan]

dude, you've already been told that the only trustworthy ressources are the official repo and the beamng forum.

[misty wedge]

i’m just gonna test

[shadow gorge]

no

[latent ivy]

mmm viruses

[shadow gorge]

mmmmmm yes lets wait until the owners of these websites put a bitcoin miner in there and steal all of your data

[latent ivy]

Guys

i have a question

How can i make beamng mods?

[drowsy leaf]

Hatd

[latent ivy]

Not Automation

[drowsy leaf]

Hard

[latent ivy]

ok i know im noob

but what programs do i need?

[hidden tartan]

#modding-general check pinned

[drowsy leaf]

You need TOO much pacience

[hidden tartan]

look through the forums

[latent ivy]

ok

uhhh

i need about textures

but imma check

thanks anyway

oh i have to go to bath

nvm

[polar cedar]

blender, some text editor preferably notepad++ and some image editor like photoshop or gimp

[shadow gorge]

^

exactly that

[latent ivy]

Holy fuc*k

Oh

Is there any alternative to blender

Less resource eater?

[cinder carbon]

As far as I know, blender is the only viable option for beam mods, stuff like fusion 360 works in squares, so you'd be able to make a Volvo V40/V70, but that would be about it

However, I've never modded, so is only speculation

[ebon saddle]

Lmao yeah.. and interest. If you have too much patience, you get bored xD

[drowsy leaf]

too

[shadow gorge]

you need patience and a lot, a lot of motivation

[drowsy leaf]

ye

[latent ivy]

Guys

[drowsy leaf]

things that i have

[latent ivy]

...

Ok i give up with blende

R

Will it work with 4 gb ram?

[drowsy leaf]

no

probs

[ebon saddle]

Yes. But wil be very laggy

[cinder carbon]

It'll work, but it won't work

[drowsy leaf]

indeed

it will lag a tonç

[ebon saddle]

Ye exactly

[latent ivy]

I remember few time ago when i tried to make a high poly ball..... And my pc froze...

[cinder carbon]

I tried some rendering of a model I made in Autodesk Inventor, with 4GB RAM and a GPU with 512MB of VRAM, at 720P resolution, and it took the entire day lol

[latent ivy]

Exactly my specs

Hhhhhhsomg

[cinder carbon]

Now however, I've got a GTX 960 and 16GB of RAM with a six core processor, so we vibing, 4K render in under an hour

[latent ivy]

Ok lemne to switch the thing

What things do i need for automation mods?

[cinder carbon]

Automation, for a start

I think there's all the stuff you need written on the website somewhere, they've got an entire section dedicated to modding if I remember correctly

[latent ivy]

AAAAAAH

[ebon saddle]

Me using blender with 4gb ram, 3rd gen mobile i3, and 1gb vram. Not quick but works.

[latent ivy]

AAaaaa

auuuuu

au

a-automation i-i-is...14 gb?

aumaigad

[cinder carbon]

That's not bad in the grand scheme of things

[latent ivy]

Ok imma download blender

[ebon saddle]

Yeah, it's not 101gb like gta..

[latent ivy]

its less heavy

where are you hiding, steam?

oh updating

nvm

Can i make money from modding?

[cinder carbon]

Blender isn't on Steam lol

[latent ivy]

It is

i saw

i screenshot

[ebon saddle]

It is available on steam iirc

[cinder carbon]

Oh nvm that's cool

I just downloaded it from the website

My apologies

[latent ivy]

Do i need any asset?

[latent ivy]

for my laptop yes

[latent ivy]

boys?

hello?

[latent ivy]

do i need big vram?

i have 512 mb i guess

[ebon saddle]

512 should be fine.. to do some basic modelling.. but for rendering and stuff probably not

[latent ivy]

i just need/want to mod in game cars

is enought?

[ebon saddle]

I guess so

[latent ivy]

do i neeeeeeeed to activate a power plan?

a stronger one?

[ebon saddle]

Tbh, you might need a better laptop to do all the rendering, texture, jbeam etc..

[latent ivy]

yes but how do i...

[ebon saddle]

Switch your laptop to its performance mode.. and you should be fine.

[latent ivy]

ok

[ebon saddle]

For now :/

[latent ivy]

balanced imma try cause runs better than performance lol

[ebon saddle]

Wha

How? Shouldn't performance have better 'performance'?

[latent ivy]

no

the disk usage seems being smaller

[ebon saddle]

Hmm

[drowsy leaf]

512 vram cant get you anywhere

i had 1gb

and barely ran blender

[drowsy leaf]

btw @small olive you should consider changing the thumnail for the a series bc it has the same color as the covet and is near the covet

[ebon saddle]

Not if you have a shid ton of other mods lol

[drowsy leaf]

uh i only have that car mod

literaly

i have 8 etki mods

and the a series

maxed everithing

[ebon saddle]

Woa, that torque bump is gonna be fun

[small olive]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/etk-a-series.19186/

cabrios are out

[ebon saddle]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yessss

[vital sentinel]

i’ve used that site for a few mods, it’s trustable but some of the mods just straight up don’t work or are a bit scuffed, only good one ive found so far is the s4

[drowsy leaf]

no

dontg

[quasi mango]

True some 3rd party sites are fine they just have some shitty mods

[drowsy leaf]

i think i overdid

[ebon saddle]

Nah, that's fine

[drowsy leaf]

it was too big

[ebon saddle]

aww

Looks good still

[drowsy leaf]

compared to the 800~ hp

[ebon saddle]

How much psi can we push on it?

[drowsy leaf]

a lot

the 800hp had 40

so.............

[ebon saddle]

Wew

That's a lot

[weak briar]

Wow, turbocharged turbocharger

[drowsy leaf]

bruh moment

[ebon saddle]

Hmm, custom hood needed then. Wow

Too jaaay zeee

[drowsy leaf]

nope, you dont use hood

[ebon saddle]

ah, the best way

[hidden tartan]

Too jaaay zeee

[latent ivy]

yo can someone find me a crash test dummie mod so i can put them in cars

[granite lodge]

crashhard dummie

[ebon saddle]

Google bruv

[robust patio]

The lambo mod is broken. It says no texture. I tried redownloading but it didn't work...

[granite lodge]

delete the gallardo folder from appdata/local/beamng.drive/0.23/temp/vehicles

[robust patio]

ok. I'll try

[hidden tartan]

you can find it yourself, using a thing called "google". why would another person google for you?

[latent ivy]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/the-crashhard-dummy.10550/

@latent ivy

thx

What things do i need to make engine modes?

Just like, not hardware mod

Like to overpower them

But to can everyone understand

Do someone watches Forgotten Mustard

?

That kind of i want to make

And custom sounds too

[latent ivy]

Hello?

[granite lodge]

whats the current mfd modding challenge?

[shadow gorge]

Trailers

[granite lodge]

oh

[latent ivy]

Hey

[hidden tartan]

https://lmgtfy.app/?q=how+to+edit+beamng+engine+files&iie=1

[latent ivy]

Brother

I asked something before

Ok?

[hidden tartan]

ye

that's why I post that.

you asked precisely that.

[latent ivy]

Why

?

[hidden tartan]

you wanted to edit beamNG engines - I delivered you how to do it.

what's your frickin problem?!

[latent ivy]

None

[hidden tartan]

ye, what are you even on about then?!

[latent ivy]

None

Oh sorry i thought this was a joke

[hidden tartan]

ye, googling something apparently is a joke. as if it doesn't exist in the real world.

[latent ivy]

You arent angry on me baby right?

[ebon saddle]

What is with you and calling people 'baby'?

[latent ivy]

Nothing just im... Sad

For some reason

[hidden tartan]

ye, next time: use your own brain first, then ask questions.

[latent ivy]

I used it but i didnt gave time to the website

And i thougth was a link too a search engine

Understand man

[hidden tartan]

are you mental?

[latent ivy]

Wat

Listen man

My head hurts

But i have to talk

Cause why not?

[hidden tartan]

no worries. just go ahead. simply type into google (by using your keyboard) "beamng how to edit engines" and there you go, literally first link will tell you all you need to know.

but no, instead of doing a really simple and quick google search, you keep asking for basics.

[latent ivy]

Im soorry of crashing your day sir.

Apologise.

[quartz trail]

is anyone aware of any gokart mods? i've discovered one that is extremly outdated and barely working and thats it

[untold beacon]

just started first Automation vehicle - where do I add the description etc for BeamNG car chooser?

[hidden tartan]

you might be better off asking that in the automation discord

[elfin trench]

So i have the latemodel nascar mod

And i have no sound from it.

Like zero engine noise

[granite lodge]

dummiesman knows and is currently fixing it

[elfin trench]

k

So do i have to like unistall and redownload or what?

[granite lodge]

its a bug with 0.23.4.1

no

[elfin trench]

Ok

Just wanted to do some racing last night with ai's so it kind of bugged me

[robust patio]

Is their a next gen looking Sunburst or Vivace?

[granite lodge]

no

[robust patio]

😫

[onyx dirge]

Actually sitting down and thinking about this

[dire maple]

while it would be more cpu efficient

how would the wheels move properly

[onyx dirge]

Maybe done like player heads in KissMP where it's a separate object

[ebon saddle]

This, would work pretty good imo, especially for lower end hardware users,

Also, KissMP has vehicle draw distance too

[granite lodge]

kissmp sounds 10x better than beammp

nice

[onyx dirge]

I know 😛

[dire maple]

would having all those models and textures loaded take up memory?

[ebon saddle]

First time I used it and saw heads, I was like, what is that thing?!?!

[granite lodge]

wait kissmp has heads?

[ebon saddle]

Oh. Noice

[ebon saddle]

Yes

[granite lodge]

oh man

nice

[onyx dirge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/710083525885558788/826934014144544788/screenshot_2021-03-31_17-36-35.png?width=801&height=601

[onyx dirge]

Definitely, but probably not nearly as much as actual vehicles

[granite lodge]

oh nice

[onyx dirge]

I've had this concept in my head for a while. It'd be great seeing like, 64 other players (or more) on the map at once
They'd all be smashing into stuff and doing stupid stuff, but that's the fun of it too 😛

[dire maple]

since it doesn't need to have the jbeam in memory, makes sense

would the cars have deforming meshes or will they just be static?

[onyx dirge]

static, probably even generic (not entirely representing the config, or only made for default configs)

IIRC there's no way to set what objects in a TSStatic appear, so they'd need special DAE files
Haven't looked into the Lua API for it though

[dire maple]

ah gotcha

[ebon saddle]

Hmm, ye, I was thinking of simracing kinda stuff, where we don't get rammed by 10 year olds.. who reset and change car every 2 seconds...

[dire maple]

yep

[granite lodge]

oh yes

[dire maple]

crowded servers get real laggy and chaotic fairly quickly

[ebon saddle]

I can handle 2 cars max, with physics.. so the second a 3rd person joins, I yeet myself out with 10fps to spare xD

Wonder if enabling the simplified collision physics box in settings does anything different in MP.

[onyx dirge]

Makes it so you can drive through other cars, gets decent FPS

[ebon saddle]

Even in MP?

[onyx dirge]

When KISS first released, I was running 30fps with simplified collision physics in this pic on my i7 7700

[ebon saddle]

Woah. That's a lotta horsepower in that image

So, you can enable it and it works in MP?

Hmm, might try that next time

[dire maple]

honestly my computer can handle 10 cars on ecusa without simplified physics
...at a very stuttering 30fps

but then again that's an i7 10750h

[ebon saddle]

Hmm, i3 3110m isn't a very good cpu today.

[dire maple]

no kidding

that might be similar to my old laptop

it had an amd a6-7310 apu

[ebon saddle]

2 cars max. And no intensive maps like wcusa or Italy xD

[dire maple]

and r radeon r4 graphics

[ebon saddle]

Hmm, I've got a 1gb Radeon GPU in this.. overclocked

I can get around 20fps with another person.. on Hirochi raceway, at low settings, using KissMP

[dire maple]

mine could barely handle 1 car on ecusa at 10fps, lowest graphics

that's why i got my new one

[ebon saddle]

Yikes.

[dire maple]

this thing is at least 200x better

it can do 5 cars on ecusa, ultra graphics, ~40-50 fps

[ebon saddle]

I might get a new laptop soon, r5 5600h and rtx 3050, hoping that can handle 10 cars easily in mp..

[latent ivy]

are there tanks?

[ebon saddle]

Maaaaaybe somewhere in the forums. Probably outdated.

[small olive]

drip

[granite lodge]

cheese

[ebon saddle]

Hmm, does it smell like mozzarella?

[small olive]

brie cheese smell

also indian food

[ebon saddle]

Heheheh, nice

[ebon saddle]

hello little rock. do NOT damage my oil pan.

this is as far as i got with my renault kwid modelling. oof. dont exactly know hot to do the inside of the chassis. yet. still learning blender stuff. so probably wont expect this to be completed

gonna grab some more screens of it..

id say this is decent..

working on the fender area.. still wip. lel

[hidden tartan]

rekz wen

[ebon saddle]

idk.. xD

pre facelift

post facelift

this is gonna be a pain to model

[ebon saddle]

ooooh noice

[hidden tartan]

noice bruv

[ebon saddle]

is it colourable? /s

[small olive]

i wanted to make one with 3 channel colors

but nah

it needs 4

[ebon saddle]

hmm, yea, and we have just 3 paint selectors..

[rose iron]

that looks really great

hope it gets released

anyway i wonder if there is any mod for a renault twingo

[granite lodge]

it will get relez'd

[drowsy leaf]

when the 2jz you are working at is nearly identical to the rb26

i just flipped the turbos and configuret the valve cover

[hidden tartan]

i6 for the 200BX weN

i5 for the etk I would be nice as well. audi quattro s1 e2 vibes

[drowsy leaf]

uh when 1.0 gets relez in repo i will work on it

[hidden tartan]

np m8, just jokin

[latent ivy]

yo is there a spike strip mod

i cant seem to find one

[granite lodge]

there is one but it breaks the grand marshal

[slender tiger]

512mb?

you'd have fun rendering the default cube with 512mb

lol

1gb at least on a dedicated card

something something archer phoenix but suv

still WIP even though it's been cancelled on 46 trillion occasions already

[drowsy leaf]

rb26 moment

[granite lodge]

oh nice

[broken dirge]

hey so my friend is having problems and cant get any textures for the Lamborghini mod that was going around. dose anyone know what he can to do fix it?

[granite lodge]

delete the gallardo folder from appdata/local/beamng.drive/0.23/temp/vehicles

[hidden vapor]

Would it be possible to make a UK license plate (the design is different front/back) and when the plate is randomised it picks a period correct text? For example, if the info.json says the car is from 2005-2008 the plate would either be an 05,06,07,08, or 55,56,57,58? Would that be possible

[foggy shard]

@ebon saddle ... don't tell me you are modeling moving each and every one of those verts...

[dire maple]

yesss

before it was smth like 5600 idk

irl value is 3400

but i have extra room for the suspension

spent all day getting the deformation and behavior good

since ofc cutting down weight to 60% of its original value takes a lot of fixes

otherwise instability!!!11!1!

[ripe verge]

Anyone know any low detail mod maps?

And any stock cars mods?

[dire maple]

There's the latemodel stock car that's released, and a few that are WIP and unreleased (like mine). The latemodel can be found here:
https://www.beamng.com/threads/late-model-stock-car-lmsc-2020-updated.45161/

The latemodel is meant for short tracks, however

[ripe verge]

Oh

[broken dirge]

that didnt work

[granite lodge]

deep clean cache

[ripe verge]

Low gpu mod maps?

[ivory silo]

Harlequin!

[foggy shard]

if this becomes private ima be big sad

[dire maple]

it won't

[foggy shard]

also, @dire maple all your edges are beveled other than where the C pillar meets the rest of the body

mildly infuriating lol

[dire maple]

eh

that's where the rear quarter glass goes

i haven't put that in the game yet though

[foggy shard]

also, is the front grille texture stretched?

[dire maple]

yep

im working on fixing that

i have a completely new uv map

[foggy shard]

ok

[dire maple]

but i haven't implemented it yet

[foggy shard]

gud

[dire maple]

today i just worked on cutting the weight down nearly half

to make it realistic

[foggy shard]

i really need to learn how to mod

[dire maple]

the new uv map is still a wip

[foggy shard]

i can model... not Jbeam and all that lol

[dire maple]

believe it or not

[foggy shard]

bc i am making a concept bolide

[dire maple]

this was my first attempt at modding anything

[foggy shard]

.-.

dang

[dire maple]

i had no prior experience

the trick is

[foggy shard]

y o u t u b e ????

[dire maple]

go back and redo stuff once you get better at jbeam lol

[foggy shard]

oh lol

[dire maple]

ive redone the body twice now

actually

3 times

[foggy shard]

dang

[dire maple]

it's all part of learning

[hidden tartan]

imagine having patience while also being willing to learn something in the process

[latent ivy]

I want to make a Volvo xc40 mod

But.... I spend 1 hour just to put some blueprints in the wrong way.

[ebon saddle]

mmmmm maybe

But it looks fine for now.. I guess.

[umbral drift]

Mine are fairly small and bare bones, but they are closed courses

[latent ivy]

[small olive]

[subtle vortex]

im installing the k-series facelift and it says this, where do i go to actually clear cache??

[drowsy leaf]

In the launcher

[subtle vortex]

oh

[slender tiger]

I'd love that to exist but it would take some lua work

cause I could do with UK plates tbh

[ripe verge]

Tell me

[hidden vapor]

Yeah I think it'd be cool aswell

[river jetty]

hi

can someone make a mod of this train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJaaCKUExDg

[granite lodge]

people dont make mods just because you asked them

[ebon saddle]

Plus, where r train tracks? Not a lot of maps have them. Yet

[umbral drift]

This is the most polished one: https://beamng.com/resources/lucasoil-trophy-truck-track-lidar-edition.15889/
This one is fairly new, but the course is driveable: https://beamng.com/threads/wild-west-motorsports-offroad-track-lidar.80999/

Both are setup for AI

[foggy shard]

@ebon saddle you are making it 10 times harder for yourself like that lol

[ebon saddle]

Oof xD

[foggy shard]

compare the space to yours

you can make modifiers smooth it out for you

see?

[analog totem]

this is totally a mod

[foggy shard]

...

[ebon saddle]

Oooh, gonna try that tomorrow. Thanks

I still need practice with the stuff blender can do

[foggy shard]

if you are comfortable, i can explain it to you over vc sooner or later

[ebon saddle]

Yea, that would do! Thank you.

[foggy shard]

just DM me whenever

[ebon saddle]

Sure!

[foggy shard]

...

[quasi mango]

russian mod sites are usually ok for pics

ofc not crash physics

actually i think there is a mod on modland with airbags

[latent ivy]

do they work

[quasi mango]

yes ive seen pics

[granite lodge]

that is actual trash because its a pessima meshslap

[quasi mango]

have you tried it

[granite lodge]

the airbags are just a solid mesh that pops up when the windshield breaks

[quasi mango]

for some reason all world of mods cars are based on grand marshal

ofc it wont be the best

its not going to be like jsz level

[latent ivy]

only good meshslap i found was 2fast mods f150

because both were similar

[quasi mango]

ngl this russian mod looks cool

havent tried it though

[granite lodge]

it looks decent

[latent ivy]

its not

it the guy that made it

himself

[latent ivy]

is there a airbag mod?

[thin musk]

its not very decent

[hidden tartan]

why bother with gettin russian mods for screenshots in beam when games like ac and such look MILES better anf literally have all the cars from the get go?!

it's just somewhat lunatic really

[granite lodge]

if you buy all of the dlcs

wich are 60 dollars

[hidden tartan]

ultimate edition has been on crazy discounts. just sayin.

[granite lodge]

yes

its like 40 euros

[small olive]

[drowsy leaf]

Google it

[latent ivy]

ZRV?

ZRV

good

if anything comes out of this you will get credit

if ur confused

remember the 3000gt/fto/eclipse thingy i was planning?

i realized its way too big for my first mod, so i decided to make few small ones for practice till i get skill to make the big one

[dawn dock]

yes but no

[robust coyote]

100000% safe?

[granite lodge]

yes bro

[robust coyote]

Nothing comes up except what I listed

Does anyone happen to know what mod was used in this video

https://youtu.be/QeNGP9bLTd8

[stone marsh]

Does anyone have a mod with a Hudson Hornet

[latent ivy]

Does making a scenario count as modding? 🤔

[granite lodge]

yes

[feral anchor]

the game already has a hudson hornet by default, it's called the burnside special

[granite lodge]

yes

[winter rampart]

Is there a mod that allows you to put things in a car's trunk? currently all cars have a bad trunk jbeam that doesnt allow things to go in

[latent ivy]

what does that mean?

[winter rampart]

it means yes but actually no

[eager oxide]

well, there is airbag mod but it put bag with air to your car XD

[white siren]

can someone link me some hillclimb maps?

[latent ivy]

It’s the Cummins Mod, Put on the Magamflow exhaust then you’ll be rolling coal

[thorny pollen]

i got the dark smoke mod actually

cummins mod produces no smoke now

its broke

[granite lodge]

does the garage unlocker mod unlock the garage like it was in older versions or does it just add it as a map

[drowsy leaf]

probs as a map

[granite lodge]

sad

im reading the old patch notes and the garage mode looked awesome

[ebon saddle]

Pikes peak, lidar edition

[white siren]

[ebon saddle]

Hmm, does the nordschleife count? lol

[white siren]

Id love to have that,can u drop me a link?

Lidar version or a ripped off version from a game?

[granite lodge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDI1DF9VB2s&t=7s

[latent ivy]

Scroll up a little

[granite lodge]

modding

[small axle]

that is some modding advise

[granite lodge]

modding discussion

[dusk dragon]

hard to not make hxntai skins

[granite lodge]

[small axle]

da fuk

[granite lodge]

[small axle]

cmon yall can private chat that type of shit

[granite lodge]

lmao

[dusk dragon]

you're too sensitive

[dusk dragon]

I'm not surprised

[granite lodge]

want link?

[small axle]

im not sensitive i have human decency

[dusk dragon]

you're on discord in a beamng community

not really the place for decency

[granite lodge]

well i mean theyre not on an anime community so

[small axle]

oh i thought beamng was a car game not a h3ntai simulator i think

[dusk dragon]

It's literally a game in which you make two or more things collide repeatedly until complete destruction, there is no more hxntai than that

[small axle]

so your taking cars colliding has h3ntai are you good?

[dusk dragon]

It's hot

[small axle]

are you good?

[granite lodge]

lmao

[dusk dragon]

Especially when the radiator is destroyed, then it become hot really fast

[small axle]

so you mean people who die in fatal car crashes is hot what the actual fuck

[granite lodge]

lmao

this is a good conversation

[dusk dragon]

Did you ever saw a human in beamng drive?

[granite lodge]

what about when cars get stuck in eachother

[dusk dragon]

Maybe you're seeing ghosts

[small axle]

your not good

[small axle]

wbu

[dusk dragon]

Oh yes, especially when you move backwards, you move forward, you move backwards, you move forwards,...

[small axle]

so you guys think its ok to take cars in a sexual way that ok you guys are in right is what a high person would say no it is not ok they are vehicles you degenerates

[small axle]

i am thinking the same thing

i wish beamng discord was beamng discord

[dusk dragon]

Well sometimes it's good to talk of other things than fights and dramas

[small axle]

cmon dude its not a good thing jesus did not die for this

[dusk dragon]

Jésus would have loved that

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-take-the-wheel-take-the-wheel-autopilot-driving-jesus-gif-14484109

[small axle]

what the fuck are you high

[dusk dragon]

Jesus love cars

[small axle]

not h3ntai

[granite lodge]

how do you know

[small axle]

because jesus is not degenerate you horny little shit

[hidden tartan]

imagine talking about being h0rny and h3ntai in a car games modding discussion channel.

[dusk dragon]

Well, he was saying religious stuff, was "healing" people and doing "exorcism" .

If he was born in today's world he would probably look like this crazy homeless drug addict under bridges.

[hidden tartan]

meds shall be taken.

[atomic dome]

Well to be honest this was a funny conversation (it just depends on your way to see humor), but it had nothing to do here. Also no need of being angry at it, and bilal didn't seem to understand humor.

[soft pulsar]

I'm trying to make a fully colorable skins for the vanilla vehicles. I basically got it all working following this wiki. https://wiki.beamng.com/Introduction_to_skin_system But I think this is dated because the the pbr sliders (Metallic, roughness, clearcoat) don't work for my custom skins.

does anyone know what I need to add to make these sliders work for my custom skin?

[honest tree]

Hey everyone I am looking for a specific vehicle but none made it yet so if someone would be eBic and make that,would make me the happiest man alive lol

It's a 2005 Toyota Avensis Kombi

[latent ivy]

[hidden vapor]

Anyone have any tips for making a free reshade preset that looks good and drops 10fps max

[coral ivy]

https://youtu.be/umm8V2hiFsA I am trying to release my car pack with car sound mods, but I don't know how to do it because it says my file is too big, is there a chance anyone can help plz?

[dire maple]

maybe upload the file to Google Drive and link it from there?

[round mulch]

what are some key mods to have for a beginner

[latent ivy]

There is no such thing. Just find what you want on BeamNG.com and don’t download from ANY third party site

[round mulch]

not even world of mods?? shit lol

[dire maple]

world of mods is actually the worst place to get them imo

ridden with viruses

[round mulch]

dammit lol

i might be screwed

i wish you could make the covet awd

[spiral roost]

M o d

[latent ivy]

Oh thats why my computer is slow...

[dire maple]

maybe! be very careful with mods you download (only use the official site). due to the way beam handles code, it can run lua that might contain a virus (afaik)

[latent ivy]

I downloaded the autoinstaller of the mod, just one,others i just downloaded the zip for manually instalation

[dire maple]

autoinstaller? since when did mods have that

[gaunt quest]

I mean I'll tell you to use mods you downloaded from it that doesn't auto instal b cause it's front wh forums and copyrighted it's making a folder in beam called mods and op them there

I always have a backup on a thumb drive Incase anything goes nutty

[latent ivy]

This might be the virus

[dire maple]

yeah, that's a possibility

what did it promise to do

[latent ivy]

i have no backup but i use dual boot

with linux

so i can access the files from windows on linux

[dire maple]

hm

[gaunt quest]

I always have a thumb drive for the qmrandom crap

[deft kite]

just don't use websites like WOM

[gaunt quest]

Heck I could get stuff from my phone to the drive right now

[dire maple]

yep beamng.com is the ONLY safe site

[deft kite]

not just because of the virusses but also because most of those mods are either stolen or an insult to the physics engine of BeamNG (or both)

[gaunt quest]

I've tried using third party mod sisters, they don't ever seem like designed for anyone below a computer scientist

[latent ivy]

Wdym insult babe?

[gaunt quest]

I literally only check them for like hey what looks cool.

[dire maple]

such as that terrible aventador mod from around 2014...

[gaunt quest]

And like they look good. I doubt they're even work but the look good in the showcase of there mods

Sorry insult to the physics what?

[polar cedar]

not many actually look good tbh

[gaunt quest]

I mean under right lighting and camera work they do

[ebon saddle]

Meshslap crash like shit. And handle like shit too
So for the handling and crashing physics, it ain't good

[dire maple]

especially the ones that use wheels and tires that don't match the vehicle

[polar cedar]

the materials usually look wack and the mesh often wasnt imported right

[latent ivy]

oh yes

[gaunt quest]

Oh god

Like meshslaps I see I ly one use for. Looking cool. Not being anything else but looking cool for photos

[deft kite]

they use the physics models of vanilla vehicles and those should be unique for every vehicle. A Gallardo shouldnt drive and work like a Bolide

[dire maple]

and some are straight ports and mainly in one single piece lol

[latent ivy]

One question, cause i want to make a trabi mod under etk brand: does the real life Trabant is Low Poly?

[gaunt quest]

I mean if the do it with a car that kind of matches like the actually use pop up headlights it looks somewhere ok

[polar cedar]

i don't get why people don't just play assetto or forza or some other game if they want meshslaps just for looks because the cars looks faaar better in those games

[gaunt quest]

It's Russian, it shouldn't have a fuel gauge it's a fuel dipstick. It's two stroke

[polar cedar]

since they're made specifically for those games

[dire maple]

ah yes, an aventador definitely uses pop up headlights

[gaunt quest]

So a bustered fuel tank is a bron oil pan

I'm not talking on about the bloody gualardi

I mean like a Miata or an rx7

[deft kite]

having pop-up headlights isnt a thing that makes a car good or bad 😄

[dire maple]

ah sorry i read it wrong

i thought you meant like bolide meshslaps with the popup headlights on vehicles that don't have it irl

[gaunt quest]

If its a vehicles that's supposed to use po ups. If it's not it's a floating orb

[latent ivy]

Ok.... Ladies and babes

[gaunt quest]

We got wm

[torn wasp]

Found this on beamng forum where can I find those tires?

[gaunt quest]

Mmm

[quasi mango]

tbh the russian mod models all are from those games anyways

[cyan pivot]

So, I keep watching videos like Muye's https://youtu.be/muuPg3f00Iw and I was trying to replicate it by changing the engine code, but i dont have an engine file, is this something new they did, I'm very new to the game and only have about 3 hours played. Can anyone help?

[quasi mango]

the engine data is stored in the car's jbeam

jbeam basically the code behind the car

e.g what makes it crash and move

[cyan pivot]

@quasi mango i dont see it in the pigeon jbeam file

[quasi mango]

there should be a bunch of jbeam files

in that pigeon zip

[cyan pivot]

so i went into the pigeon,jbeam file and i didnt find any engine thing there

[quasi mango]

it might be in common

as mechanical parts are shared between pigeon and wigeon

[cyan pivot]

ah ok thanks, i found it now

[summer canyon]

You won't

Only use the repository

[crystal zinc]

wbimp isnt there though

[latent ivy]

wbimp has a little problem tho

[crystal zinc]

[mighty basin]

WBIMP is outdated

[crystal zinc]

[latent ivy]

Whats the autosmooth angle at beamng

[latent ivy]

Good quality without being a meshslap and not leaked..... Nope

[crystal zinc]

[crystal zinc]

[robust coyote]

who minds meshlaps i dont do big crashes with cars i only fenderbender and drive

[pure grail]

Same

most of my mods are literally just made solely for driving

I have a forum based rp server for beamng

so you use a channel to rp

its fun

[robust coyote]

i only drive and do little fenderbenders

[pure grail]

do you want an inv?

[robust coyote]

yea

[drowsy leaf]

Euan, have you seen any tutorial on editing beams
