@dense portal why does this happen when i shade smooth?

here is the polys their smooth and everything

is it just some blender shading issue or is it actually a issue?

[dense portal]

wtf
have you got autosmooth on?

[worn tree]

Yo, if I can ask, please can you show how you will get this in-game? Just something I've always struggled with. Also, it looks perfect now 🙂

[foggy geyser]

yeah.

[foggy geyser]

actually i have a friend gonna jbeam it for me and get it in game, idk how to do that, and dont have the time to learn.

[worn tree]

Ahh awesome man, something I've always struggled with and gets in the way of me making mods lol

[foggy geyser]

can always ask in #modding-general

[worn tree]

True, good luck with your mod though man it is looking awesome. Can I just ask, how did you make it less high poly? Thanks :))

[foggy geyser]

select all of the object, and right click, in these settings should have "un-subdivide"

[worn tree]

Ahh thank you man, that's really helpful. I'll see what I can do and if I can make a fairly decent model xDD 🙂

[foggy geyser]

yeah np. :)

@dense portal it's just in the right click menu, idk why it happens tho, doesn't seem to but much of anything tho, seems to be blender shading issue, theirs no messed up polys in there.

[forest mountain]

Alt n, recalculate outside normals might fix that

[foggy geyser]

actually, seems that only one side was effect.

imma cut it in half, flip it, and connect it back

seems some mirror work wasn't done.

as see here

[forest mountain]

Just select it all verts and recalculate the normals, I'm sure that's it

[foggy geyser]

welp already started the other method lmao XD

seems fine tho, seems to fix the issue.

or not...

lol issues

[foggy geyser]

how do i do that?

sorry for asking, but kinda clueless lol

oh wait alt n

oh shit, fixed it thanks alot!

[spice fable]

What do you think about this polyflow? I think its pretty good for my first car model

I just have a few shading issues

[foggy geyser]

@dense portal is this good poly count?

[dense portal]

splitter is too high but its ok otherwise

[foggy geyser]

i lowered it but once i lowered it more than that, it kinda became weird and choppy.

it became un even and not so smooth and sharp edges that i wanted dissapeared

it's good enough

[dense hollow]

i need

[drowsy leaf]

ok

[ripe raptor]

probably dumb but could someone make some US police skins for the ETK 800/K Series? stuff like firwood or belasco police skins

[pliant viper]

Pls someone make a Saab 9-3 mod

Ok

[zenith cloud]

did you expect someone to just say "yes" and then spend 2 months making a mod just because you asked them to? 🤣

4? 6?

sounds about right

[pliant viper]

Idk, perhaps it could inspire a modmaker for their next creation

[dense portal]

most full car mods take in excess of 6 months

[drowsy leaf]

idk
modders prefer their own ideas over someone else's

[warm topaz]

yo is that a 200bx ?

wait im retarded

tought it was the blender server

[latent ivy]

well it didn't and btw don't beg for mods

[worn tree]

Hey guys, I am making a Max Power themed Astra V6 mod for the 200BX. Is this polyflow any good? No idea, thanks guys 👍

[ripe raptor]

looks nice, even though i hate most Vauxhalls (except Lotus Carlton, VX220 and VXR)

[worn tree]

Ahahah thanks man, Max Power is incredibly over the top for sure! I like Vauxhall's, but are a bit too mundane for the most part.

[ripe raptor]

np, that kinda reminds me of the NFS M3 GTR or soomething because of the colour

[worn tree]

Yeah that's true actually, honestly didn't think of that. Quite Pessima as well, midsize and FWD 🙂

[ripe raptor]

yeah

[worn tree]

Anyone know why this happens with mirror modifier? Thank you

[ripe raptor]

im not a modder but you might want to ask that in modding help

[worn tree]

Yeah true just seems like not many people know, no offense

[hoary scroll]

anyone know any good car mods?

[ripe raptor]

i know a 2021 skin pack but not a 2018 or whatever skin

[nimble valley]

yes

[hoary scroll]

can you tell me?

[nimble valley]

there is the etk-k1994

[ripe raptor]

just search for FR17 and you should be able to find the 2021 F1 pack

[hoary scroll]

can you send link?

[nimble valley]

sry

[ripe raptor]

ive forgotten the name of the mod unfortunately, try searching for 2021 F1?

yeah ik im not helpful

found it

[balmy loom]

Its on the site or only in the game itself?

[ripe raptor]

might be on site, probably better to get it in game, no Williams skin btw for some reason

np

[latent ivy]

Anyone know of a mod that allows drivetrain swaps for any car

[ripe raptor]

theres one which allows you to add AWD drivetrains to most vehicles (grand marshall, 200bx etc) but ive forgotten the name of it, i think its called something like "AWD driveshaft conversions" but if you search for driveshaft you might be able to find it

[pliant viper]

I know, I said it mainly as a joke, but I understand people probably do this constantly, and it must become annoying

[latent ivy]

It's good, btw I like the idea

[cunning zodiac]

so are there guys actively making content still?

[worn tree]

Thank you man, appreciate that :)))

[drowsy leaf]

yes

[mystic coral]

anyone take mod comissions?

[drowsy leaf]

on what?

[mystic coral]

a vehicle mod but a kinda strange one. a robotic crocodile.

[drowsy leaf]

dont think thats even possiblo

[mystic coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyvi040H-Es there has been this made before

[ripe raptor]

save the pigeon

[wooden bolt]

Wtf is this

💀

[mystic coral]

same

basically i just a robotic kaprosuchus saharicus that can walk around, swim and chomp and tail whip cars lol. i guess i can put $100 (more can be negotiated) for anyone that wants to do this for me.

[devout solstice]

it's not a mod. it's technically vanilla that hasn't been release, if it ever will be. It's just made by the devs as an experiment to what the game engine can provide

[drowsy leaf]

that would be terribly hard to do

[nimble valley]

bruh this c63 sound i made for this sim is now intense

[drowsy leaf]

oh back to using meshslaps again???

didnt you say they were inaccurate and shit??

[nimble valley]

this one is still fucked yea you are right i am not sure why im still using it

i forgot to edit the weight but i did fix the drag coef

[nimble valley]

lordlichi it is hard to resist the real life cars designs sometimes

Beamng vanilla designs have yet to grow on me

[foggy geyser]

no bro it's a ford F150

lmao

[warm topaz]

aint no way

[mystic coral]

hovercar in progress

[quaint flint]

literally if you can use that piece of crap then why are you complaining about detailed ones :trol:

[nimble valley]

Yea true

[nimble valley]

There is no c63 w204 lookalike yet

[foggy geyser]

(i really hope this is sarcasum)

[icy jasper]

uhm i need help to do a stronger driveshaft

[foggy geyser]

#modding-general ask there

[icy jasper]

oh

srry

[fathom escarp]

does anyone know when the gavril vertex na2 will be done

[tawdry mantle]

Don't know where to put this, but I wanted to suggest a side project for anyone that wants to do it. I don't know how hard beamng modding is as I've never done it before, or how busy modders are, but I think it would be nice to have a '79 Camaro and have a Ghost Camaro variant to go with it. I don't really know any stats, but I can look them up if needed.

[nimble valley]

79 camaro would be cool

doubt anyone will do it for free

[tawdry mantle]

true, but it would be something nice to work on if they don't have anything to do

[nimble valley]

Someone sometime will eventually make 60s 70s muscle car.

There is a 1970 challenger 426 and also charger

74 camaro also

But they have "imperfect" jbeam as in weight and drag coefficients.

and deformation is weird

[quartz lily]

Is it going to be open to the public? Because I would 100% download it

[foggy geyser]

rear fenders are now in looking good

working on the rear end now

[foggy geyser]

yessir rocket bunny style yk

also @frail field finished it!

looks off but im sure after the textures it's gonna look amazing.

althought someone else is gonna do that, imma send them the blender file with only these things showing, so he know what they are.

[foggy geyser]

and it's done!

( @dense portal just cuz i did show you it already )

tmr imma learn how to material all of it, and let my buddy do the hard jbeaming part.

hoping i can get this published in a month from now minimum

Thanks a lot, my first TRUE model

Sometimes I just fuck around with fenders and modifying them, but never really finish ‘em

This time I decided, yk what fuck it, let’s get a actual turbo rabbit body kit lmao

BTW I fixed the rear diffuser dimensions looked a little weird like that looks better I don’t have a image tho, that’s it for today tho

@frail field imma polish some areas but it is my first actual mod I’m working on and won’t expect much love from people, what do you think for first actual model?

(Btw I went pretty blind finding new tools on the go)

Thanks a lot!

Ye I knew about it good quality but it’s really outdated sadly

Gonna polish up might and get it textured and bam have a friend jbeam it

[polar cedar]

Lol thats mine, i already started remastering it a couple months ago

[quartz sierra]

Considering there is the Rockport map, I suddenly want to see more of these maps.

[pulsar copper]

some good mods reccomandations?

[mystic coral]

yeah if i ever manage to make it

[nimble valley]

How good is this mod?

It looks good except for the shit shadering

it needs ambient occlusion

and jbeam is probably hot garbage as usual with wom

[fervent crag]

motorbike with bolide jbeam

[elfin cradle]

dog shit

[latent ivy]

I think You meant GM jbeam lol

The legends say that You can't unsee this

Kawasaki power

[clever canopy]

is there a storm chasers mod?

[foggy geyser]

And final product, ready for materials and jbeaming

[hardy axle]

Hi all, I’ve just purchased beamng, any essential mods to recommend as a new player?? Thanks in advance!

[open phoenix]

I'd recommend just trying out all the usual vehicles

and then slowly expanding

I dont think there's any essential mods

[hardy axle]

Ok thank you 🙏 are there any graphical mods worth installing?

[open phoenix]

unless you want your game to look like gta 6 leaked videos then no

[hardy axle]

Oh I don’t suppose you have a link to any instruction vid for your preset?

[cold pendant]

xd

[hardy axle]

True!

[open phoenix]

with concrete being reflective

the only graphical thing you should do

is mabye bump a few things in settings to ultra, if you can run it

[hardy axle]

Ok thanks @open phoenix , I’ll give that a go when I get the chance to play it, just got to wait for the kids to go to bed 🤣

[open phoenix]

Glad to help

[open phoenix]

they split the mod into parts, everyone focuses on their selected part

and then they would compare each others work, and improve on them

[forest mountain]

I'm not sure what you're expecting but that's kind of it. There's way no you can both work on the same file from different locations. So just break up the work amongst your partners and deal with the upload times.

[hardy axle]

Me again, can you recommend any sites to get cars from? I understand you can go into the repo section but just wondered if there were any other websites to try?

[open phoenix]

https://www.beamng.com/forums/ stick to the offical website

and repo

[hardy axle]

Ah awesome thanks 😊

[open phoenix]

You're welcome

[foggy geyser]

bit of polishing, and it's completed!

[dense hollow]

noob question, what does meshslapping mean

[icy jasper]

i wanna know too

[dense hollow]

so could i download a jet from flight simulator or GTA 5, and slap it on the antonov an-12b?

or would that be super complicated

[whole ruin]

ayo?

[dense hollow]

I used to play rigs of rods. they had some good planes. i wonder if you can bring models from there into beamng somehow

i probably sound like an idiot lol. im new to modding

[quartz sierra]

If someone were to take this and retool it, then yes.

[zenith roost]

are there any good engine mods for the t series?

[worn tree]

GTG T-Series Expansion Pack 🙂

[zenith roost]

Is there any better engines then what comes with that pack?

[worn tree]

Not that I can really think of, Gavril addons pack but pretty sure that's outdated. There's the RK's engine mod for everything so maybe try that out.

[zenith roost]

Ok

[candid lake]

So I've been trying to figure out why the ffb is so brutal at low speeds and while drifting. What I came to was the fact that the wheels don't have near the resolution that would be adequate for proper feeling. Now, I feel that the tires could be changed into a different type of dynamic simulation to replicate real world feel while maintaining system performance. I don't have enough familiarization with beam's game engine though to see if it could be implemented. Any thoughts from someone that actually knows this game? 😂

[worn tree]

What do you mean man? I'd say it's more down to wheel settings, never really had an issue myself

[candid lake]

@worn tree to get proper wheel feel you have to turn your damper settings and center spring settings all the way off, and turn off smoothing, but anything under 10mph or when you reach steering lock on a car that has drift angle, your wheel starts to stutter like crazy and try to kill itself, idk if those are exactly related or if the drifting has more to do with the deformation of the suspension but I'm gonna try to get a clip of what I am talking about

[candid lake]

well that didn't work as planned, anyways, when the car is rolling slow you can see the tires bouncing over every node, which is to be expected based on how they are set up, I'm just trying to find a way to remedy this and make it smoother so the option to have a more raw input is possible, I'm looking for realism, not necessarily if it feels good, it feels very real when it is sliding at mid angle but anything straight is very off

[worn tree]

I've got quite a bad deadzone, I agree. I've played for too long lol I am just used to it now. But I agree, it really does feel quite loose and not connected at first

[latent ivy]

Maybe a garbage truck mod

[midnight gazelle]

The model cars of turbosquid is good or bad models

?!

[spice wing]

Can y'all add a realistic school bus mod

[devout oxide]

Who download mods

Ops wrong chat

[spice wing]

Ok

[onyx widget]

I love this feature

[drowsy leaf]

commonnes of the car when spawning ai

how common it is

[midnight gazelle]

Sorry i man any questions in my head

[latent ivy]

what

[devout solstice]

oh my lord it's meowbah

God save the queen

[onyx widget]

Should I make a tutorial how to set/reset odometer in Crown Victoria?

[drowsy leaf]

??''

[unkempt gale]

what car is this?

crown vic?

[unkempt gale]

hell nah

[onyx widget]

Yes, Ford Crown Vic' mod

[unkempt gale]

yes pls

[deft wraith]

I think he should do the temp gauge.

[deft wraith]

There is a place called beamng mods.com i go there every time for mods but if you want basics stick with the offical website.

[deft wraith]

Somebody already did it.

[dusk dragon]

like, I was talking earlier with some people, it's quite impressive what the modders of Mudrunner were able to create, like here the fully functioning crane is a mod, that's mind-blowing.

[bronze silo]

someone should do a RHD etk 800

[languid timber]

I think someone in a server I'm in is doing something like that

[bronze silo]

which server? send an invite if you find one in DMs

[brazen scarab]

ngl the new Raven is kinda hot

[tawdry mantle]

Really? Damn, to the google i go.

Ah shit forgot to turn off mention

[brazen scarab]

now we just need the R61

[dusk dragon]

always complaining xD

[brazen scarab]

ngl the new facelift kinda looks like a Ferrari

[dusk dragon]

It's a shame to "bash" any mod that isn't perfect, it doesn't really motivate to mod the game and push new modders into the game.

If I take again the example of Mudrunner, many mods are not perfect but I had much more fun with them than with the last Beamng mods that came out because they try things and add interesting content, the last one I had a lot of fun with in beamng is the capsule bus which is also not perfect but very cool. Feel like that overcritisizing the mods of others just push for less "conceptual" mods and more basic regular simpler mods.

Probably also why a lot of mods are private, because the creators don't want to face groups of people that will criticise everything that's not perfect, it's a shame because we don't have access to this interesting content then.

but that's my point of view

[verbal fog]

you're gunna get criticism regardless of the quality of the mod

[drowsy leaf]

PBR is a must nowadays , that's why he said it

I get criticism and i mostly private release now

So the last point is a bit not valid

PBR is like a must

Like even if it's just the clicked PBR option

No custom material or anything

[dusk dragon]

just saying that it's probably why a lot of people don't try to mods beamng and/or why a lot of content is not public because people are like "I could make this but I don't know/don't want to make this thing in the mod and I know that people will bash me for that".

Like, if someone want for example to make a passenger train but know that he will get bashed on his 3D model or the jbeam he will probably not make it, which deprives us of a passenger train mod that could have been very fun although imperfect.

feel like that in other games people judge less which is why they got more interesting mods. but again that's only my point of view

[drowsy leaf]

I think there ain't so many interesting mods cuz there are 0 tools for modding easily
Imagine if a new nbe released
Modding would spike

Yeah

Heard of it
Will use as soon as I can
Still use nbe so that i don't have to manually type node names

[dusk dragon]

That's also true, there's a problem of tools and there's a problem of learning ressources (wiki, youtube tutos,...). I think it's a mix of all that.

-Lack of tutorials
-Lack of tools
-The community always asking perfect mods which ask quite an high level of knowledge in jbeam/modelisation/texturing which can demotivate/can be "scary"
-Time and motivation consuming

[drowsy leaf]

Motivation has killed at least 6 protects of mine

[dusk dragon]

motivation is the worst yeah

jbeam is really a bad b*tch, so annoying to make, also explain in part why other modding communities in other games make cooler/more interesting mods (GTA 5, Mudrunner,...).

like, making an A380 would probably ask 1 year of work for a modder, in GTA it was more like a few weeks if not less

[worn tree]

Absolute fax. Stops me from releasing stuff cus I can't get it in game

[latent ivy]

I guess we should count our blessings tho

Rocket League has a much bigger playerbase even on PC alone

But a much smaller modding community

Because the program you have to use for putting cars and making mapss in is ABSOLUTELY CURSED.

Like for example

This is the default material:

[latent ivy]

So while Jbeam is terrible, other games have much worse

[dusk dragon]

mmh, i still think that jbeam is more awful

because even when you do the things right, jbeam always find a way to fuck up everything

[worn tree]

Fax, and always complicated for beginners. I'm good at Blender but could never get anything in-game

[wheat summit]

Any good amphibious cars?

[worn tree]

Only a Pigeon and a Moonhawk released ageeees ago

[dusk dragon]

Yeah exactly, and if it's not perfect people will bash you because of that

[wheat summit]

Ok

I

[latent ivy]

When does chapter 2 come out?

[rugged cairn]

TLDR: It will get it in time, when I update it from material.cs to the newer materials format.
I have nerve issues in my wrists that I got 2 years ago, this limits the amount of time I can spend doing repetitive activities at a computer (such as modelling &jbeam) . Since that makes me slower (and pain kills motivation), my options were to either leave the R20 on the repo as it was, or upload something less complete earlier. One option leaves people with the sub-optimal (compared to the version I had on my PC) R20 for longer, the other gives people something to do and more options for play now. Both are valid depending on personal priorities.
With that said, I genuinely do very much appreciate the feedback and I do shuffle my priorities based upon it. Without it its impossible to know what people actually want. For example, as obvious as it sounds, I had no idea people wanted the monster truck to be able to crush things. It was brought up with me, and now there is a config in the mod for it. Reviews kept stating the car was ugly, it now has a facelift. Its not lost on me that the R21 could have been more, but it exists now, and thats more than before.

To give a further example, the R21 also doesn't have skinning support. It should have it, the R20 has it. But I decided to cut it from my goals for this release in order to make the release happen.

[foggy geyser]

Once the new super car comes out, just know imma do a LWBK on it :)

[foggy geyser]

Dude they loook Sik af tho wdym

[earnest vapor]

How to ruin a nice car 101

[foggy geyser]

How to have bad taste 101

[earnest vapor]

Look at it. You can see the bolts, the tires are barely visible, there's no reason to have splitter supports, and the stickers are just wannabe racecar

[foggy geyser]

Called air suspension, looks nicer, wider track of wheel allowing bigger wheels for more grip, also front splitter adds downforce, also stickers are 5+ hp

[earnest vapor]

Lmao, wider track width means nothing when the car is in that state. I was talking about the two wires that connect the splitter to the front of the car, not the splitter itself. But, judjing by your name, there's no way I can convince you otherwise

[foggy geyser]

Dude air suspension that low isn’t good I agree, but air suspension allows the car to be higher or lower, the two wires are really high quality and strong it’s LWBK one of the best type of Bodykits out there, many splitters have those two wires it helps to be more intact and not fall of easily, also wide track helps with cornering

Just because I like slammed stanced cars doesn’t mean I don’t know how a race car is and how areo and wider track works

[earnest vapor]

The bodykit looks the same as something stolen from a teenager's Civic...

[foggy geyser]

Why do you think most race group 3 cars are wider than normal

[foggy geyser]

LIBERTY WALK BODY KIT… if you knew who made it and how fucking high quality those body kits are, you’d change your mind

They aren’t exspensive for anything

[earnest vapor]

It doesn't matter how fucking high quality they are, it's a bolt-on and I can't stand them

[foggy geyser]

Really fighting with some 12 year old with a cringe ass pun as a name…

[verbal fog]

why are you guys arguing over a damn fender kit

[foggy geyser]

Dude started it, he doesn’t understand shit honestly

[verbal fog]

let him be a dumbass

[earnest vapor]

Hmm, disagree with someone, he must be a 12 year old who doesn't understand shit

[foggy geyser]

Ok

[foggy geyser]

If I disagree i have my reasons…

[vast atlas]

I only got ms paint

[foggy geyser]

Can’t have opinions without anyone saying shit about it anymore

[verbal fog]

got your point across so 🤷‍♂️

[earnest vapor]

That's funny, coming from the guy who just called me a stupid 12 year old because I don't like the bodykit that he does

[foggy geyser]

I did because you don’t understand a opinion lol

[verbal fog]

@vast atlas come back rq

[earnest vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/bobthetomato-gif-8017726

[foggy geyser]

It kinda makes sense to call you that since you did start a argument just from stating the fact I’m making a LWBK for the new super car once it’s out

[vast atlas]

tbf, I'm confident the new car will come with a LWBK.

[foggy geyser]

Now shush and keep your thoughts about Someone’s opinion out your head

[earnest vapor]

Oh boo hoo, you can't handle my opinion

[verbal fog]

if i can figure out how to do it, ima make the new supercar front engined once its out

[foggy geyser]

You can’t handle my opinion at all 💀

Yeah I hope lol, my models are shid

Kinda funny how @vast atlas is probably eating popcorn and chilling laughing at this dumb argument lmao

[vast atlas]

I'm actually sailing in sailwind

[devout solstice]

bye cop, I'll see you in the horizon

[foggy geyser]

Welp anyways imma go on with my “night” and carry on, wish the car community wasn’t so fucking toxic man,omg lowered slammed car with wide body so bad! ok and

[foggy geyser]

Cool

[foggy geyser]

@devout solstice didnt want to ping you yesterday but i finished up this model, since your here, can you tell me how it looks?

[earnest vapor]

I'm so close to being done with this community

[verbal fog]

looked smaller on the map

[whole ruin]

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[foggy geyser]

thats what she sai-

[whole ruin]

Wth is going with this server

[devout solstice]

eh it's good. I don't specialize in body kits but I know it don't usually look that sudden with the kit and frame transition I think

[verbal fog]

sensitive kids

[foggy geyser]

I'm so done with people not accepting a opinion that is the complete opposite of theirs

[verbal fog]

stop instigating

[earnest vapor]

I never did that

[foggy geyser]

true

[earnest vapor]

I simply argued my side

[foggy geyser]

It's meant to be like that kinda, here lemme get a example.

[vast atlas]

Just stop about this stupid argument about stupid body kits that don't affect you. One thinks it's dumb and the other thinks it's cool. The end.

[foggy geyser]

👍 fair

[devout solstice]

I mean, ask cop, he looks like a cool dude who knows kits. cop how does the kit look to you

[foggy geyser]

i might shrink the end of it tho, just to get it kinda on the actual body panel

[vast atlas]

(ima be real with ya chief, I'm more of a stock person)

[devout solstice]

see, solid answer

[foggy geyser]

fair lol i love rocket bunny and LWBKs

ight peace guys, imma play Beammp

[verbal fog]

tbh i like seamless widebodies, so it looks like someone just grabbed some vertices and moved them a couple inches out

[foggy geyser]

doin so BAJA RACIN!!!!!!

[foggy geyser]

aka like pulled fenders?

[vast atlas]

But idc if someone likes kits epically in game or if it provides a ACUTAL befits irl. This just hurts my soul.

[foggy geyser]

yes it does

[verbal fog]

yes but it looks stock

[devout solstice]

donk

[verbal fog]

factory bodylines and everything, just a bit wider

[earnest vapor]

I'm gonna end things here by saying that I'd prefer that to a Liberty Walk Ferrari. Grove Street is king!

[vast atlas]

Now this is the only non stock kit I would pay money for.

[earnest vapor]

Agreed

[earnest vapor]

No, different island

oh its a different gta nvm

[verbal fog]

thats so much different than 5 lol

[earnest vapor]

Yeah, how cool would it be to have all those locations

It's not a bigger map, though

[verbal fog]

take all the gta maps and mesh them into one

rockstar would find a way to fuck it up

[earnest vapor]

I think someone has done that

[vast atlas]

3 citys+ 9 towns, 2 military bases, 3 major airports, 1 private airport and so many garages.

[earnest vapor]

All in a map smaller than 5's

[vast atlas]

Yet feels bigger

Eat your heart out Los Santos Customs.

#pleaseaddthistobeamng.drivemoddersplz

[earnest vapor]

I find it weird that LS customs says that it was established before SA takes place, yet it's nowhere to be found in that game

[vast atlas]

Loco Low Co.

But rockstar stated that the 3d era and the HD era are different timelines.

[earnest vapor]

And I hate that

Just seems like a lame way to change up the map from the previous entries

[summer canyon]

[feral rock]

[serene lichen]

eg some orange car paint reflecting off the road 5m away

[worn tree]

How can I mirror what I do on one door to the other? Thank you 🙂

[vivid wadi]

moddificator

mirror

[worn tree]

Thanks man, I did this but it doesn't mirror it for the other door. Do I have to group the doors together? Thank you 🙂

[vivid wadi]

sorry i forgot everything in the blender

[worn tree]

Yeah np man I think I got it sorted now, I just have to apply the modifier. Thanks man 🙂

[vivid wadi]

no problem

[latent ivy]

duplicate it, mirror X, all transforms, flip normals and boom, You've got a door on the other side

[devout solstice]

you have to apply the mod to actually edit the mirrored vertices

[woven lark]

yeah theres mine but its locked behind a patreon for £3.50 and is kind of beterish
sorry i dont want to seem like im advertising

[woven lark]

[hardy axle]

Ok nice one cheers!

[woven lark]

anyone bother testing for my beterish graphical modification
just saying you risk screwing your game files up and might need to reinstall beamng but this hasnt happened to me

[serene lichen]

[serene lichen]

as long as I don't have to pay, im poor af, just blew 1400 on a setup

[woven lark]

[earnest vapor]

Why can't you test it yourself?

[grim magnet]

What mod is this?

[earnest vapor]

Cherrier Picnic, I think

[dusty laurel]

any of u use this mod? and maybe you have had the textures missing, trying to fix it

^

hmmm?

re downloading the mod fixes it

[grim magnet]

It is thanks, although there doesn't seem to be any downloads to it

[devout solstice]

it's wip

[grim magnet]

Does anyone still have the infinite NOS mod? disappeared from Repository

[harsh hinge]

i want to fit a skin i made to the wendover and have no idea how

[steel fractal]

heh my skin isint working -.-

am i missing something?

[languid timber]

Oh shoot

[languid timber]

Uh, open the CS and lemme check it, although most skins that are made use a JSON material file

[steel fractal]

is this good?

[worn tree]

Thank you so much :))

[latent ivy]

someone make the kirby car for beamng lol

[languid timber]

I think you need to rename the "toxic" file to "wendover.skin.toxic.dds"

[steel fractal]

kk ill try again

nope

im still getting the orange texture

want the file?

[languid timber]

Just to be safe, I'll help you convert the materials file to JSON

Download the attachment, replace all mentions of "SKINNAME" with "toxic" and when it asks for the baseColor map, and the provided map says "vehicles/wendover/SKINNAME/wendover_skin_SKINNAME.png", replace that with "vehicles/wendover/toxic/wendover_skin_toxic.dds",

[steel fractal]

alright

[languid timber]

And when you're done, put the file where you put your original materials file is and delete the old materials file

[steel fractal]

it gave me this

ima keep trying

[languid timber]

Show the materials file

[steel fractal]

one moment

[languid timber]

@steel fractal Interesting

Show me the File Explorer window that shows the files

[languid timber]

What folder are those files in

[steel fractal]

the wendover folder in the zip

[languid timber]

Wait

Just to make sure, they're in a folder called "toxic" right?

[steel fractal]

kk

OY

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[worn tree]

Thank you man, polyflow sucks but I'm trying xDD

[latent ivy]

And that's good, don't give up mate!

[worn tree]

Nice to have some encouragement man, really appreciate it! I'm definitely getting better 🙂

[flat mirage]

@worn tree Here some spontaneous ideas which could help you:

Go to edit mode → Normals → recalculate Outside
Use the modifier „WeightedNormal“ and try around with its settings

Hope I could help you 👍

or try the Merge by Distance function, maybe some vertices that are too close to each other🤷‍♂️

[worn tree]

Hey, thank you so much man! I'll have a look at what I can do. Really kind of you to help man as I am fairly new to all of this to be honest! I'll try it out :))

[flat mirage]

no problem, let me know if worked 😉

[worn tree]

I did actually separate it from the rest, I think this is probably better this way? Trying my best at this and just going with it trying to learn 😂 👍

[flat mirage]

Looks pretty good so far, looking forward to see more of this project👍

[worn tree]

Thank you! Is the polyflow any good? As honestly I am not really sure, never actually got anything into Beam 🙂

[flat mirage]

Me neither, I really have no idea how BeamNG handles with the mesh, maybe there are some more experienced modders which can help with this...

I never modded something into BeamNG, I am just good at Blender

[worn tree]

Yeah man honestly I have toyed around with Blender for quite a while on and off. I just make silly things like limo versions of Beam cars. I have no clue on JBeam or any of that jazz, which always cancels anything I make. I don't know advanced Blender though, only messing about with other people's stuff really xD

[flat mirage]

haha, at least you have fun with it, so you will learn it by time

[worn tree]

For sure man, and I appreciate the help from you and other guys in the community, means a lot to me. Always had a dream of recreating a Rover P5B in Beam. Maybe one day 😄

are there any mods on the official repo for McLarens? (not Automation, my computer pretty much dies with automation for some reason)

[supple timber]

car brands like mclaren are copyright protected and thus won't be on the repo(well not with the mclaren badge anyway)

[tired sun]

i'm just saying design, i don't mind if it's debranded

[untold ravine]

Hi guys! I'm modifying car's suspension jbeam files to have more steering angle (via ATOM) and im wondering how can i make the beam structure of the steering unbreakable? since a joint just always breaks when at high angles of steering.

Help would be appriciated! thanks :3

[latent ivy]

Hmm i wondered has any body tried making a beamng citroen saxo mod?

[astral charm]

noone did it

at least that's how i know

[drowsy leaf]

No

[earnest vapor]

Cherrier Picnic is kinda similar

[foggy geyser]

Bros one uping me 😭

[latent ivy]

@earnest vapor question for you

[earnest vapor]

?

[latent ivy]

Have you ever made any mods?

[earnest vapor]

No?

[latent ivy]

Just curious

You are very ready to criticize, though you don’t know how hard it is

Have you ever tried?

[earnest vapor]

I tried making a meshslap like a week ago

[latent ivy]

is the BTR-80 still working

[worn tree]

Ahahah I hope it'll be as good as yours man 🤣 giving it my best shot 😄

[foggy geyser]

Lmao first model same here wish ya luck

[worn tree]

Ayyy thank you man, we're both getting through it pretty decently I think, yours looks great! I'm going for that 2000's Ricer/Max Power look 🤣

[signal lotus]

Great work! I have an unusual question:

Fenders are made from cube Base or different mesh? I want to make a Fender but i don't really know with what mesh do it

[worn tree]

Hey, thank you man! What I personally did was highlight some of the mesh from the original fenders, and press Shift D to duplicate. Then, I joined those 2 parts together and joined them so they are separate from everything else. From there, I modified them to fit. It's very difficult to do it without using parts of the original game mesh, and personally this is how I got a better fit. It's taken a lot of time, but the front part you see here is actually the rear that has been duplicated, but cut and changed manually. I believe you would use a Plane if you wanted to make your own 🙂

[signal lotus]

Thank you so much for answer!
Your mod will be really good in game, i can't wait when its Released! Have great day

[worn tree]

No problem man, I hope it goes well for you!
I won't lie, although I've played Beam for years, this is my first serious shot at it. You get used to things like Blender, and by mucking about with the models you can learn a lot. I've got no clue on how to get it in game but it will happen! Have a great day too 🙂

[signal lotus]

Thank you too!

Also I'll be bouncing between here and #screenshots so if you reply ping me

[latent ivy]

is the rain a filter only?

No, it's in the World editor

so every drop is simulated as far as i know how it behaves in world editor

Usually

But there's one texture that no one likes because it looks like snow

And if you make it massive it does about 12 visible drops per one simulated drop

Lemme find the name of it

i see

how did u do the slippery road physics im loving them

The rain is just rain_medium

[latent ivy]

Really easy actually, you just change the groundModel in the material editor

oh damn

And I also have all the dirt tuned to mud in the terrain editor

ah yeah i noticed

makes sense!

[ripe raptor]

does anyone know if theres an Formula 2 or 3 mod thats compatible with newest version?

[sweet jetty]

@tired coyote Oh I see what method you are using for the oil system

[tired coyote]

i cast a ray from the oilpan nodes downward, use that as the position for a decal that gets placed every frame

however i really have no clue how i could fix this

[sweet jetty]

Yeah I thought nearly the same

[tired coyote]

i dont think i can tbh
the tire marks are not done with lua, probably in the c side of the game

which i can't access unfortunately

[sweet jetty]

Maybe you have to place that decal every 0.5 frame or more dense?

[tired coyote]

i literally cannot do that unfortunately

[ripe raptor]

i want to try and help when it comes to how that happens but i dont even know how to download something from the beamng website manually

[tired coyote]

onUpdate is called every frame and i can't adjust when it gets called

[sweet jetty]

Tbh I used this technique when I made a painter game in Unity (C#)
I know that's off-topic in that meaning but yeah I think I know how it works

but the problem was the same in my game: when the cursor was too fast, it looked like your picture; points and not a line

[tired coyote]

also the decals fade way to early which seems to be related to the size of each decal

[sweet jetty]

So looks like the player have to drive slowly to get a beautiful line of the oil

[tired coyote]

yes

[tired coyote]

i might be able to combat this if i make it a decal road instead of multiple decals

as weird as that sounds lol

[sweet jetty]

however, I think this is realistic in a sense, because the oil does not leak continuously, but rather drips

[drowsy leaf]

depending on vehicle speed alter the amount of decals placed

[tired coyote]

every frame a decal gets placed

i cant control the amount of frames a second, thats your pc

[drowsy leaf]

oof

[ripe raptor]

when this gets done, would there be a version for fuel leaks?

[tired coyote]

if it ever gets done, maybe

[manic laurel]

Hey guys I'd like to ask what are the best GT and Nascar tracks to download as mod?

[ripe raptor]

theres a soliad wendover nascar mod which has a seperate mod for nascar skins i believe, for gt cars theres an ETK K series facelift mod which has 2 GT3 configs i believe

theres also a nascar mod for the moonhawk

[cloud pike]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/motorsports-playground.21834/ this map has a large selection of tracks and a super speedway on it

[ripe raptor]

oh you meant tracks, im an idiot

[cloud pike]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBluGKs1wjs&ab_channel=Kirbyguy i recommend this too

[manic laurel]

Ah thanks man

[cloud pike]

and just in case you didn't know, there is an actual nascar mod but the damage model is too rigid https://www.beamng.com/threads/gen-6-nascar-stock-car.79631/

[ripe raptor]

but yeah motorsports playground has some irl tracks recreated like Hockenheim, Daytona (and daytona road course), a martinsville recreation i think and some rally tracks

[manic laurel]

Thanks I might get those

[ripe raptor]

thanks for that mod link

[manic laurel]

Ok got u I'm gonna get that

[cloud pike]

no worries, its good fun, all these

[ripe raptor]

i have tried to download the gen 6 mod but it hasnt worked for me, not sure how to download it

[manic laurel]

Aswell I was gonna ask how do u get multi-player because I just got the game so.....

[cloud pike]

should be as easy as dragging and dropping this one to your mods folder

[ripe raptor]

i have tried that

[cloud pike]

as for MP, here you go https://beammp.com/

[ripe raptor]

thanks

[manic laurel]

Thanks man

[cloud pike]

ooh weird, maybe you have some overlapping mod or something? works for me

[manic laurel]

Ngl I wanted to ask if anyone makes maps but I don't know if I want to ask for a map maker to do it😅

[drowsy leaf]

dont ask

[manic laurel]

Ok got it

[ripe raptor]

i think its because ive tried downloading the 3 files on the site, gonna try the one you pointed out

[cloud pike]

maps do take a lot of time to make so your options would pretty much be to use existing mod maps, learning to make maps, or commissioning one

[manic laurel]

I mean I'm a patient man i just wanted someone to create the place from this one movie in my childhood so, but I understand if you can't make the map

[drowsy leaf]

the issue is that modders dont have time

and wont do people's requests

[ripe raptor]

tried downloading the gen 6 car, doesnt appear in game, should i try restarting the game?

[cloud pike]

oh i don't make maps or any mods tbh but i know that something like that would take time, probably a few months if they need to make assets too etc

[manic laurel]

Ah makes sense now

[cloud pike]

if you just dragged and dropped while it's running then yeah try that first

[manic laurel]

True

[ripe raptor]

alright, thanks for helping rn

[manic laurel]

Anyhoo I'm gonna get the multi-player so I can start playing with people if I'm bored

[ripe raptor]

lol i closed the game and my PC logged me out

anyways it didnt work 😦

[raw burrow]

hi

[ripe raptor]

hello

[magic gull]

aye

is their any good hatchback mods

[ripe raptor]

idk

theres a vivace hatchback mod but thats more outdated than the first version of beamng

[safe geyser]

vivace is a hatchback

[ripe raptor]

vivace is estate

[whole ruin]

Still a hatchback :trol:

[ripe raptor]

well if you rear end it with a t series going over 80mph then its a hatchback

[dense portal]

what
the vivace is a hatch by definition

[ripe raptor]

okay fine, im not gonna argue with someone who likely has something better to do than argue with someone who doesnt know how to manually install a mod

im the guy who doesnt know how to manually install a mod btw

[drowsy leaf]

ah yes

that is an estate
there is a mod for that but by default its a 5 door hatch

[ripe raptor]

k

not sure if its still usable with newest version tho

just checked and it was updated in 2020

[ripe raptor]

it works

[ripe raptor]

uhh why doesnt my E-Bastion have any bumper or grille?

[worn tree]

Got the same issue ever since launch

[ripe raptor]

when it was first released it was fine because the grille was the regular one but there was something behind it, but since the Tesla style front parts got released they've been nonexistant so theres just been a floating number plate

[worn tree]

Yeah man I've had the same thing since the new parts came into play. And when I try and make my own parts the same thing happens. Hope this gets fixed one day

[ripe raptor]

same, even if the e bastion bumpers got removed or minor changes like removing vents id be happy

[latent ivy]

oof

[drowsy leaf]

why oof?

[latent ivy]

because most of my ideas are "kind of" like requests because of how busy I am and also not knowing how to make a mod

[ripe raptor]

dumb mod idea: camper interior for Gavril H Series

[drowsy leaf]

not dumb at all but it would be ahrd

[ripe raptor]

true, could just be a bed or something in the back or front of the cargo area with some campervan stuff (doesnt need to have insane detail just enough so it doesnt look cheaper than a can of Pepsi from Tescos_

[latent ivy]

Anyone have any UK maps?

[ripe raptor]

theres a somerset map

https://www.beamng.com/resources/somerset-uk.20323/

like 500mb

[woven lark]

is iamthelaw a good mod creator

[polar cedar]

he makes meshslaps so no not really

[woven lark]

oh

[latent ivy]

ah nice

[ripe raptor]

it aint bad

[bleak tusk]

Tab functionality partially done; just need to add the active class

I wonder if I qualify for this role now lol

[median widget]

Hey, are there Otter City maps or good mde truck Mods?

Other

[ripe raptor]

idk

[zenith cloud]

kind of sucks ngl

[woven lark]

alr thanks

[pliant sequoia]

Since there are a lot of mods based on a partnership with cherrier and ibishu with the covet, why hasn't anyone made a new covet based on the vivace

[drowsy leaf]

what

[ripe raptor]

what like some kinda thing similar to like a volkswagen or ford focus?

[drowsy leaf]

there isnt any ibishu x vivace

[ripe raptor]

i do think there should be a modern covet though tbh

[worn tree]

Vivace is pretty close. And what exactly is a modern Covet? It would be a completely different car nowadays, depends how modern

[ripe raptor]

basically like a Volkswagen or Ford idk

or hyundai

[worn tree]

The original Covet was based on the Civic and Swift, modern Suzuki Swift type thing? Would be awesome that

[ripe raptor]

i agree, what about toyotas though like a aygo or yaris

[worn tree]

That's true, it could be something smaller like an Aygo and have some insane versions. That might deviate from the Covet's original path though

[ripe raptor]

could happen :/

for a insane version could be an Aygo crazy sort of thing, well if it was based on toyota

[worn tree]

That would be so sick honestly, or maybe it could be something next to the modern Covet. Cool ideas but I doubt it will happen anytime soon 😦

[ripe raptor]

hmm, just hoping that someone could make a mid engined covet so it could be like a Renault 5 turbo or 205 T16

[worn tree]

Like a 6R4, we did actually talk about that and there was a mod years back

[ripe raptor]

wait really?

[worn tree]

Yea there was a mod, doubt it still works though. But for the remaster it could happen or some people have been saying that we could always make a mid engine mod

[bleak tusk]

Pain pain paaaain. Why css why :(

I don't want this orange outline on my centre buttons bleeh

[ripe raptor]

what mod is that?

[bleak tusk]

Centre buttons also seem to like shifting down a couple pixels lol

[ripe raptor]

not released yet right

[bleak tusk]

Mine? Not at all

[ripe raptor]

what kinda features will it have when released?

[bleak tusk]

I'm still undecided on what to put on the "Trip" tab (2nd - in ETS/ATS it shows distance remaining, cargo, ETA etc.) and the "Vehicle" tab (3rd - in ETS/ATS it shows truck, trailer and cargo damage. Could just show vehicle damage but seems a bit of a waste of an entire tab)

[bleak tusk]

GPS, trip, vehicle data, along with showing speed, damage, fuel, gear and temp, day and time

So far, the stats work, it's just damage doesn't work as a % as I can't find out total_beams. And I haven't worked out the navigation yet

[ripe raptor]

so it'll save space by having alot of info in just one UI element? nice

[worn tree]

It's just like ETS2

That's really cool

[bleak tusk]

^^
It won't be like the built in tachos etc

I'm not showing rpm, indicators, headlights, abs or stuff. Might hide that away on the vehicle tab, not sure yet

[worn tree]

It's pretty neat man, and of course because that would be too much

[ripe raptor]

how is it going so far (apart from it being annoying?)

[bleak tusk]

Appreciate it :) first mod but I am a web dev so it's not too different beyond Beam itself (and learning a little Angular with it)

As for how it's going, this is my rough checklist:

• Show speed, gear, damage, fuel, temperature and day/time
• Navigation tab*
• Trip tab**
• Vehicle tab
• Configuration tab
• Information tab
• Halt it from working when you're out of a car (either hide it or show a "get in vehicle to use Beam Advisor")
• Add the short messages system
• Package into a mod for repository
• General code tidy up
• Fix bugs
  (checklist updated 13/04)

* - Navigation works but routes won't render correctly. Some styling inconsistencies. Map is too zoomed out on some modded maps so need to re-add the right click to zoom function. Routes still won't draw right either. May look into adding distance/distance left/ETA.
** - Odometer partially works, need to add reset button and persistency. Still need to calculate instant/average fuel consumption and distance until empty.

And of course general ui fixes so it looks better, it is a bit rough in places

[devout grail]

how i do car

[bleak tusk]

Once the GPS does work, it'll look cool in a truck interior

[austere wyvern]

I look so cool

[bleak tusk]

Beam at night is such a vibe

[austere wyvern]

I hope you will release soon, because it look incredible

[bleak tusk]

When the entire checklist is done, and everything works, then I will

[slow moss]

Believe me a lot of people who really don't qualify for that role still take it so I'd say go for it lol

[bleak tusk]

Haha, fair

I've finished my work for tonight... or this morning - just hit 1 am

[half sail]

Hi, does anybody know where i can find good Tesla mods (or cars similar to Tesla)

[wheat summit]

Mod land has some good ones

Just search up Tesla

@half sail

[honest tree]

ETS/ATS hud :D

[drowsy leaf]

NO
NO
NO
modland is a website that is full of bad mods and you should not use it at all

[whole ruin]

I'm sorry, but that's a bad tip.

[errant moon]

hey i'm trying to install carmightys customs cars but I don't know which folder should I use because I tried this image and the folder beamng in my documents but both of them don't work

[worn tree]

Gotta do the back now

[half sail]

alr, ty

oh wait, if its a bad website then i should look somewhere else

oh

[onyx widget]

@high lily
Yes, it does have the custom model.

Ok, I'm going to go...
I'll be back later

[ripe raptor]

not trying to be annoying but could there be a mod which makes a different steering wheel for the ETK K series or SBR4?

[fast plinth]

Dear Map Modders, could you please convert the NFS Underground 1 or 2 Map to BeamNG.Drive ? I really really enjoy the NFS Most Wanted map by Eskim but i would like to See the NFS Underground Map too :) Maybe those Maps already exist here on the Discord but Not on the Internet. I would appreciate it a lot ! :D

[drowsy leaf]

no

that would take 13102931'931'39 hrs

[fast plinth]

Oh :( what about NFS carbon mountain map only ?

The Drift Mountain

[drowsy leaf]

no

map making takes loads of time
noone wil

[fast plinth]

Oof alright

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/need-for-speed-most-wanted-rockport-with-rosewood-2005.80038/

[fast plinth]

Yea this is the Track which i play

[empty basin]

To any private modders, would you let a YouTuber use your mod if they asked?

[ripe raptor]

this would be a dumb mod, dumber than any idea ive thought of

[drowsy leaf]

no

[weak lava]

Someone plz do it! I want to see it in Beamng

[worn tree]

I've thought abt that lmao

[ripe raptor]

yeah same

oh wait, im stupid

[onyx widget]

@dense portal
I'm replying here because I don't want to discuss on mods-SHOWCASE.
What program did you use to make the gauges texture? I mean the 'o-meters scales.

[dense portal]

they were done in pdn with trial and error

the cluster was done in substance for the most part

[ripe raptor]

like the Gavril Vertex screen or something else?

[dense portal]

similar yes

[ripe raptor]

ah okay, unrelated but would the paddle shifters be part of the steering wheel or stay on the wheel column?

[dense portal]

the rest of the interior edits will happen after release, so i havent decided yet

[ripe raptor]

okay, so you havent made the steering wheel yet, thats fine

[onyx widget]

I tried to search it.
But the problem is, I suck at browsing...

What's the full name of this pdn?

[dense portal]

paint.NET

[onyx widget]

I didn't even know that it's called pdn or something.
I already have this program

[dense portal]

ah lol

[steel fractal]

i have a question

does taking the exaust off improve performance?

[ripe raptor]

well it stops power from being restricted by mufflers and catalyic converters, so yes

[steel fractal]

paddle shifters would stay with the wheel usualy

[ripe raptor]

unless its a really underpowered car, because then it'd have a normal automatic or a manual

my mother owns a citroen c4 picasso (2009 i think) and the paddle shifters arent connected to the wheel, engine barely works anyways

[dense portal]

following on from what I’m saying in showcase, the left is the chg-eco-pwr gauge I was talking about

[ripe raptor]

out of any of the pictures you posted, that is the one i like the most

[dense portal]

we had a CT before the NX we have now, so I know this thing in and out lmfao

[ripe raptor]

nice

[bleak tusk]

Is that intended for any kind of car? Looks really nice

[dense portal]

that is literally a lexus ct gauge cluster

[bleak tusk]

Oh that's just a picture of it

[dense portal]

an actual gauge cluster im making for my 2015 sun-facelift

[kindred moth]

new facelift!?!

[dense portal]

yes

[bleak tusk]

Oh cool

Also does anybody know if the author of this mod is on the server at all?
https://www.beamng.com/resources/improved-navigation-map.19983/

I think the majority of the code they have is basically what I need to roughly use to be able to add a map to mine

(found them)

[latent ivy]

the G wizz
"Look at that, two G Wizz`s taking up one space!"
"In mays Britain that would be punished by 6 months in prison."

[bleak tusk]

Hm... you don't say

[drowsy leaf]

thanks to that ui app i can now see that i damaged my car

[bleak tusk]

lmao yup

Very important to have

[bleak tusk]

Would anybody like to test out my mod (very early version ofc) packaged up? Wanting to make sure it actually runs right as a mod
Actually nvm it doesn't work lol

[bleak tusk]

Makes sense

[bleak tusk]

Revised the logo so it's not a semi-rotated rip off of ETS' route advisor

Aligns better with the built-in Beam Navigator now

[bleak tusk]

Only 1 day in and already recoding the entire thing because I don't want to release the first one's mess 😂

CSS and images are now separate which is great. Wish I could split it up into multiple JS files and just have app.js as the main point, but seems I'll have to keep it to one file

[bleak tusk]

Recode has been completed, mostly back to where the original was functionally.

Working on adding the UI for configurations, and still want to work out if I can make an <a> link or button that can open an external website in the user's browser (so far no luck with it). Configuration itself works though, I can now change between MPH/KPH, F/C and 12/24 hour time, as well as the threshold where the fuel level is set to red (ie. 10%)

[austere wyvern]

That definitely look great

[bleak tusk]

Configuration options almost done. UI isn't final, it's just a bit basic while I make it work first

[ripe raptor]

thats really good

[bleak tusk]

It's slowly going

[ripe raptor]

the notification about vehicle damage is very useful

[bleak tusk]

In ETS2?

I might try add the short message system

[ripe raptor]

alright

[bleak tusk]

I still don't know what to put in the 'trip' menu

[ripe raptor]

navigation?

[bleak tusk]

That's the first tab

ETS shows the cargo info ofc but Beam doesn't have that so

[ripe raptor]

oh lol, maybe put a sort of odometer in the trip menu or something

[bleak tusk]

Yeah I might be able to code some kind of odometer, using the time and speed

[ripe raptor]

would make sense in trip menu as well

if theres a fuel menu for some reason you could put like MPG and stuff

[bleak tusk]

Beam doesn't expose fuel consumption

[ripe raptor]

in the vehicle debug menu thing it shows like MPG and stuff

[bleak tusk]

UI apps don't get it though

[ripe raptor]

alright

[bleak tusk]

https://wiki.beamng.com/Streams.html#List_of_Streams shows all the data (the streams I can request and use) and none have fuel consumption

[ripe raptor]

oh wow

[bleak tusk]

I can get current fuel % and total fuel capacity, that's it though

[ripe raptor]

that should be good though

[bleak tusk]

Already showing it in the overview at the top, though

[ripe raptor]

true, would it have like warnings about low fuel/battery capacity?

[bleak tusk]

My thoughts so far in the trip menu:

• distance travelled this trip (odometer)+reset trip button
• vehicle weight

Uh, no warnings yet, I'm thinking of implementing the short warnings system

Like if you try to drive with the park break on etc

[ripe raptor]

hmm, nice

[bleak tusk]

I really want to get the GPS/navigation done but that's basically a couple of days work on its own lol

[ripe raptor]

would it be possible to basically combine the navigation UI app into the mod or would a new one have to be made

[bleak tusk]

I'm planning to do that

[ripe raptor]

hmm

[bleak tusk]

I've got permission to use the Improved Navigation mod's code in mine

[ripe raptor]

nice

[bleak tusk]

So I plan to strip it down to just the map+route and some settings, then drop it in and make it look good

[ripe raptor]

just so it isnt too complex for users

[bleak tusk]

I mean, having one thing is the goal here, so you just have the advisor, not a tacho+nav menu+other things

[ripe raptor]

yeah, sounds very good

[ripe raptor]

how do i stop the fuel tank in the genesis f2 exploding when i spawn the car?

[ripe raptor]

no, apart from FR17 there arent any good F1 mods yet, Genesis F2 is a decent one but its kinda messed up (fuel tank explodes when you spawn it and screen doesnt work) cherrier f320 is probably your best choice apart from, well, fr17

and even cherrier f320 is kinda broken, screen also doesnt work

something im looking for though is a Le Man track mod

[ripe raptor]

same, imma try and find a decent f1 mod

hmmm

thanks for that fuel tank fix, imma try and find an f1 mod, what era are you looking for?

not really any of those, managed to find the FR2X thread but no download for the car, i am hoping for a 2010 kinda f1 car mod, at least i found a go kart mod lol

i do hope it gets released, could be really good to drive

same, v10 is best sounding imo

v6 hybrid isnt bad though, not sure why people hate it

omg i was driving genesis f2 mod at a le mans map and destroyed the front wing by driving over a kerb

what?

oh

i dont use automation mods because the deformation is a bit weird, actually sounds like an F1 car though : )

for some reason it sounds better than the real v10 cars

dont ask

[bleak tusk]

Just realised for weight there's KG, tonnes and pounds (lbs)
😔

[ripe raptor]

yeah, you can choose custom units

[bleak tusk]

Is it t or ton btw?

I only use kg, so

[ripe raptor]

ton i believe

[bleak tusk]

All configurable now

If I can ever work out fuel consumption I'll add an option for it too

[ripe raptor]

wait so it shows the vehicle you drive, would it also show mod vehicle names?

for what?

[bleak tusk]

In relation to mine? It doesn't show vehicle names at all

[ripe raptor]

hmm

automation cars? btw that kart mod i found is kinda glitched

hmm

[bleak tusk]

Beam's telling me every single car has a manual transmission

🙃

[ripe raptor]

so you need to do a bit more coding to fix that?

[bleak tusk]

I mean it should be right

[13] v.data.engine.transmissionType string Manual/Auto/DCT/CVT

[ripe raptor]

what about sequential? wouldnt make sense though

[bleak tusk]

So... if it's only returning Manual, idk
