[rocky heart]

Oooooo

[bleak tusk]

Pretty close to being done, anyway

[frank kelp]

no, they're the same car, making them separate is not worth it, it'd just take a lot of time for nothing

[bleak tusk]

2 more bugs to fix...

[winter rampart]

amaze

[bleak tusk]

Anybody want to make a map recommendation for where I should take the pics/demonstration video for the repository at?

I'm probably going to use Utah but thought I'd ask :)

[winter rampart]

utah probably makes sense

[drowsy leaf]

^^

utah or wcusa

[rapid pond]

GIVE ME THE DOWNLOAD LINK.

[bleak tusk]

I'm submitting it to the repo tomorrow

[drowsy leaf]

...

[rapid pond]

Oh yeah!

[drowsy leaf]

beggars...

[bleak tusk]

So just a bit longer :)

I've hopefully got most bugs worked out, the gh is up though

In fact people can probably get it going now if wanted. It's just not off the repo so no mod info or stuff

[winter rampart]

Nice

[empty cipher]

Ats/ets map

[bleak tusk]

Beam advisor gang

[winter rampart]

Customisable icon?

[bleak tusk]

Hm?

[winter rampart]

Like the arrow

[bleak tusk]

It's kinda customisable

You can change the svg in /images in the mod files

I can't make it any more customisable through the UI sadly

[winter rampart]

Oh ok

Imo orange would fit better

[bleak tusk]

Orange is the stock one but I used the one ETS uses, the blue one

I could make it a choice though

Stock orange beamng arrow or ets-like blue arrow

[winter rampart]

Also what about a rpm gauge?

[bleak tusk]

It's a detail in the vehicle tab if needed. Dedicated guage is beyond the scope of the mod

If you need a dedicated tacho guage you can still have the stock beam one or a modded one

[winter rampart]

Yeah I meant a readout

[bleak tusk]

Yup already in vehicle tab

[winter rampart]

Nice

[open kite]

what modded cars are recommened?

if you guys have any sned me the links

[drowsy leaf]

Sned

[open kite]

Sorry

*send

[drowsy leaf]

No problem lmao
just sounded funny

[signal bramble]

go to beamng.com and then to the mods tab

[drowsy leaf]

^^

[open kite]

i do that

[signal bramble]

here

[slate ibex]

So I'm planning to make an AI mode for street/roll racing where a car behaves like traffic until you honk at them, then they match your speed and wait until a third honk to go wide open throttle

Where would be a good place to start to learn the basics? Ex. having AI honk when you honk at them?

[frail pier]

Is there any private Jet mods around?
Ik about the AN12 cargo plane mod but it doesn't work anymore.

[rapid pond]

Possibly having A.I break into pieces when you honk at them

should be more visible.

[drowsy leaf]

maybe

[latent ivy]

what about it doesnt work? I swear I see people posting pics using it every week

[frail pier]

It just doesn't load most of the time. And when it does, it gives up an error and the game pauses.

[floral phoenix]

so i tried asking it in general but no one give me answer
is there a mod that adds "yes texture" or "no texutre" as a paint design option

i cant find one because it just shows people from reddit asking for help

[drowsy leaf]

dont think that something

[tame crown]

easy remove the textures and get no textures

[bleak tusk]

👀

[calm cloud]

Yesssss

I cant wait

[bleak tusk]

All submitted, now it's just got to wait for approval

[calm cloud]

Nice

[bleak tusk]

I have a few 'potential' features

• Route eta/distance may be possible by trying to work out the distance between nodes and things, have to look into that more at detail
• Map zoom levels I want to add back as on big maps (Italy, modded ones usually) the map is very zoomed out at the default zoom level
• Speed limit display on the map like ets/ats... doubt it's possible unless Beam exposes it somewhere
• Destination reached msg, possible as I could try hook off the navigation update for the route data being empty (= clear the route on the map), though it may also trigger if you manually remove a waypoint so not sure on that one

[latent ivy]

fun fact about that speed limit thing... beamng doesnt have it set anywhere. The ai calculates it on the fly lol. So you could just do that too based on the road if you wanted to

[bleak tusk]

Huh, so signs are just somewhat accurate props dotted around ig

How is it calculated then?

[latent ivy]

I cant remember exactly, but if you look for the ai lua file its in there

could just run a grep on the lua folder for speedlimit

[bleak tusk]

Going to also then ask the follow on dumb question but where's that file?

I'm not perfect at lua but might be able to figure it out

[latent ivy]

Im not at my pc so I cant point its exact location since the lua folder in the beamng root is kinda a maze

I always just use something like astrogrep to search the file contents for the thing I need lol

[bleak tusk]

I assume it's in the actual steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive folder then?

[latent ivy]

yee

[bleak tusk]

I'll try take a look

/lua/vehicle/ai.lua?

[latent ivy]

no clue, I think its called traffic or something

[bleak tusk]

Hm

Route speed sounds right

Also found 'legalSpeed'

[modest crag]

im die

thanks

[bleak tusk]

Paid mods sound fun but they aren't exactly advertised lol

[latent ivy]

makes sense

#moretanks

[quartz sierra]

Could Automation-made semi trucks pull trailers is my question?

[floral phoenix]

Welp...
What file should i remove

[tame crown]

depends which texture do you wanna remove lol

and why do you wanna remove it tbh that's just ridiculous

[latent ivy]

cause no texture is c o o l

[tame crown]

i disagree its annoying and irritating to me

[floral phoenix]

I just wanted a no texture paint design
But i guess i need to make one

[pliant sequoia]

Wait so the dfa thing is paid now?

I think its called that

[signal lotus]

I think it can be scaled

[winter rampart]

cant

[signal lotus]

Oh alright

[bleak tusk]

Hm

It looked right on my monitor, guess I am high res. I'll look into adding scaling I guess

It's a set size rn so it doesn't break

[signal lotus]

Is it released? Or its still getting approved

[winter rampart]

yeah im on 1080p

least minimalistic ui

these things are stuck at red

[drowsy leaf]

if you cant just add some sizes , medium big, small....

[bleak tusk]

What vehicle?

[hollow crown]

Does anyone sell chevy tahoe mod for beamng?

[bleak tusk]

Damage being red is an odd bug I've never run into. Fuel hitting red at 100% also odd. Could be vehicle related

[winter rampart]

pigeon

i just destroyed the car

[bleak tusk]

Or I can just change the css so it's dynamic and not fixed at 600 px

[bleak tusk]

Hmm and damage didn't change?

[winter rampart]

cant imagine it at 720p lol

[bleak tusk]

Can you hit ` and see if there's any errors in the console related to beamadvisor/app.js

[winter rampart]

damage went to 100%

[bleak tusk]

Oh ok

[winter rampart]

too late lol

[bleak tusk]

I'd try do something now but I'm on my laptop and Beam doesn't work on mac lol

I'll try replicate that issue though and see if its something I can fix

[winter rampart]

Try getting the damage to 100%

And also the fuel tank drained

[bleak tusk]

Yeah damage >40% and fuel <10% I think make them red

Do you mean they don't change back?

[winter rampart]

Yes

[bleak tusk]

Ahhhh ok now I got you

If you hit esc and then esc again it should fix it, as that reloads it, but yeah nice find

I'll add that to my fix list

[winter rampart]

Nice

[bleak tusk]

Overall think it's good though?

Hopefully it won't have any approval issues 🤞

[winter rampart]

Yep

Btw does the screen stay as messages when a message comes up?

Also one suggestion is you could add the option to hide everything except the main map part

Because then it'll be a nice navigation replacement

[bleak tusk]

I'll look into this

[bleak tusk]

Also may be a bug I introduced fixing another bug

[winter rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/programmer-developer-debugging-code-testing-fixing-gif-7663766

[bleak tusk]

lol

It's my first mod so not everything is gonna be perfect off the bat :)

[winter rampart]

It's really good already tbh

[drowsy leaf]

literaly life

[bleak tusk]

I'm going to try improve it as I go

Could add a "gps only" appearance mode on right click

Oh damn didn't even notice it got approved lol

[winter rampart]

How would I have had the mod 😂

[bleak tusk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bleak tusk]

Attempt one of resizing lol

"works great"

[drowsy leaf]

its something

[bleak tusk]

It's a bit of a pain as I made it so static so sizes worked lol

Seems making it too small squishes a lot of stuff together

Might have to do a small size check to reduce padding in places

[winter rampart]

Doesn't look too bad

[bleak tusk]

It's something

[winter rampart]

Also, an option to make the clock show in game time?

[bleak tusk]

I could try

Not sure if beam exposes it

[winter rampart]

I mean it's in the environment menu

[bleak tusk]

Nearly

[bleak tusk]

Dunno if it's exposed to UI apps, I mean

Okay I have to go to bed but I've made some progress

[cerulean canyon]

is there any mods to make the game have more fps or lower settings below lowest

[drowsy leaf]

no

like what do you want
a nintendo 64 game?

[cerulean canyon]

just trying to run beam on a very old pc isnt good

[drowsy leaf]

yeah
well

tough luck
nothing can be done

[bleak tusk]

I'll make a 'reduced' UI mode too which will lower padding and font sizes etc, for smaller screens. Hopefully should help

Getting up early tomorrow to get that done

[burnt vale]

@drowsy leaf
International model pessima geb 2 sketch

Not the ugly goofy ahh fwd blob

[bleak tusk]

I feel so bad laying in bed knowing my mod needs fixing

Sleep sucks

[vague meteor]

is there a mod that makes diesels bellow absolute pitch black toxic unbreathable smoke? I think it's called rolling coal in English (? I think, it's literally the thing of our entire tuner culture here xD)

[fervent crag]

Cummins engine mod + custom injectors for that cummins mod (yes, a mod for a mod).
It's not gonna be the closest thing, but whatever.

[vague meteor]

thanks, I'll try it. Hope it's not for trucks only

[cerulean canyon]

is there a dyno mod or rolling road

[rich wyvern]

Hey I want to change the filename of my mod that's already on the repo (it will be an update), what is it gonna change for the users when they will download the update ?

[ripe raptor]

i automatically installed the BeamAdvisor mod and it isnt on screen, i think this is a common issue tho judging by previous messages

[vapid hollow]

^

i got it on screen by adding 2 of them

but nothing shows up on the thing

[ripe raptor]

you managed to add 2 and it worked? what

[vapid hollow]

i added 2 of them and 1 showed up on screen

this

[ripe raptor]

hmmmm

when i first added it there werent any issues, then i finished modifying a vehicle and it went out to get milk

[ashen linden]

yo so how come when i spawn up my Ibishu Saga the wheels keep spawning in as 4 lug steelies

@ me with a response

my bad lmfao before it was updated it worked fine for me

[velvet laurel]

How does the multiplayer mod work? Is it just a freeroam, or you can do scenarios?

[open phoenix]

Add a diesel engine and fuel tank

[whole ruin]

Hey all, but what map that has the vapor sunset background?

[open phoenix]

Car killer's showroom mk2

[onyx widget]

I think I've just found the easier and more practical way to make engine sound loops in FL Studio

[bleak tusk]

Trying to get resizing working and it's quite hard lol

It's somewhat working but the smaller it goes the more stuff breaks

[bleak tusk]

I got so many things to do again lol

[bleak tusk]

Low space mode making progress

Not as pretty but should help in low space

[fallow fiber]

Openable mod rocks!🤙

I do not know why it happens by the way.

[neat rock]

I wonder if its possible to make something faster and better than the srt tomahawk in beamng

[latent ivy]

Where does everyone get good mods form??

[bleak tusk]

The repo

[vast atlas]

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

[bleak tusk]

Resizing works

GPS works with it too finally

[winter rampart]

pro

[bleak tusk]

Gonna add more before I release this ofc

[bleak tusk]

👀

Going well for next update

[winter rampart]

👍

[bleak tusk]

Disabled preserve aspect ratio too, means it's a lot better

[winter rampart]

nice

[earnest vapor]

Yes, now I can use it with a 720p display

[bleak tusk]

Added support for disabling certain msgs too

I've got to add map zooming, fix a few bugs and update some UI (ie. that fugly white line) then it'll be ready for posting the update

[bleak tusk]

I've done the best I can - with low space mode especially
It's hard as there's a lot of UI to fit into a small space, so I have to provide a compromise for low resolution people

[bleak tusk]

Alert disabling done (example shown is damage alerts on/off)

[bleak tusk]

I want to make something like this for the fuel and damage displays

Some kind of tiny vertical progress bar I guess

[devout solstice]

for the damage display, you can use the vanilla damage ui

[bleak tusk]

New update has been published - waiting on approval

[bleak tusk]

Might be able to do that

[polar cedar]

@latent ivy i started roughly 4 years ago

[latent ivy]

Lool

[devout solstice]

1 year ago

[latent ivy]

Have you designed any car yet

[devout solstice]

Many, but they were quite a long time ago

[latent ivy]

Me too

Hmm can you show some? I am curious

[polar cedar]

[latent ivy]

Its okay bro ur models are very nice

[polar cedar]

[devout solstice]

El jay

[latent ivy]

The first three are just worser than mine, or are the same?

Okay

Now i wonder, are in the game files glass break texture templates?

Its morning for me lol:)

Good night anyway!

[bleak tusk]

Anybody that's been waiting - 1.1 got approved for my mod. Adds resizing :)
https://www.beamng.com/resources/beam-advisor.22346/update?update=38957

[honest tree]

finally, i can play Proper ATS in Beamng loool

[bleak tusk]

lol, time to put out dodgy videos "ATS but crash physics are realistic"

[honest tree]

yeees lmfao, only thing missing now are more truck mods

[bleak tusk]

The MAN TGX one is quite good

[honest tree]

yeah but i mean US trucks

[bleak tusk]

It's a euro truck though, so better change the video title to ETS2 lol

Modern US truck would be great

[honest tree]

yeah, that would be cool if the devs added one like the Western star 49x

[floral phoenix]

ayy new updatee

[bleak tusk]

Or freightliners/whatever modern ones exist

[honest tree]

yeah

[bleak tusk]

Could sub to it in the repository

[honest tree]

btw, will the navigator be compatible with Multiplayer?

[bleak tusk]

It should be but no guarantees as I don't play MP

[honest tree]

ah

[floral phoenix]

or i could update my copy of IDM

[bleak tusk]

I guess

[winter rampart]

the repo is delayed

1.1 isnt there yet

[bleak tusk]

Ah, rip

Already getting a list of things ready for next update

[winter rampart]

lmao

10 updates per day

[bleak tusk]

Nah

Next one will take a bit - I have to get some weird bugs fixed and need to put a lot of study into new features

[hoary scaffold]

Ooooh we need teasers

Just kidding lol

Can't wait to see what Beam Advisor will become
I'm myself working on a mod, but it's taking much, MUCH more time than expected

[bleak tusk]

Planned & Potential features cols

Honestly, the mod probably won't stray too far from how it is so far, just extra features and improvements and appearance fixes

[hoary scaffold]

Oh wow I was not expecting that
What software is that?

Oh btw, something I haven't talked about in my review : the parking brake message can get a bit irritating, is there a way you can make it smaller, like a pop-up notification? I know it will be different from ETS/ATS

[winter rampart]

do i need to clear cache or something after downloading the update

[bleak tusk]

Trello

New version lets you disable the parking brake msg entirely or just disable the audible pings if it helps. I don't think I can do much else as the content could only display within the UI itself which would seem a bit off

[hoary scaffold]

Talking about appearance (really sorry for all the work I give you lol), when we select the transparent theme (can't remember the name of it), the app tends to be further from the edge of the screen, which results in the app being too high on the screen, if you don't know what I mean, I can send you some screenshots
So I don't know how you are supposed to fix that, might look into it

[hoary scaffold]

Oh alright, haven't tested the new update yet so I'm just going to stop talking then lol
Good job!

[winter rampart]

epic

[hoary scaffold]

What is that?

[winter rampart]

the mod

[hoary scaffold]

Oh, and that's what remains of the ui app?

[bleak tusk]

More space under the app I'm assuming?

If so, that's how it is in ETS/ATS

[hoary scaffold]

Yeah, that's it, maybe making the resolution change using the transparent theme
Like 800x1400 becomes 700x1400, for example

[hoary scaffold]

Oh that's what I thought, been a long time since I've played ETS
Alright then, guess I'll need to get used to it

[bleak tusk]

Yeah, though I may mess with it in the future

[hoary scaffold]

Oh alright, nice to hear!

[bleak tusk]

Tbh I'm just happy something I've made is something people can find a use for

When I get my steering wheel in the somewhat close future, I'll prob set it up and do a video with my mod

And some terrible title like "Truck Sim but it's BeamNG" and do a fake Utah run

[winter rampart]

unfortunately i could not find a bug in v1.1 😦

[bleak tusk]

Isn't no bugs supposed to be good haha

[honest tree]

@bleak tusk is this normal that the Beam Advisor doenst show up?

[drowsy leaf]

press f5

to reload ui
may fix it

[honest tree]

ah thanks

[bleak tusk]

If stuff acts up port of call is to hit esc->esc again to reload the mod, or f5 as mentioned

If not, @ me and check console (` key) to see if there's errors

[honest tree]

aight

[tired coyote]

@bleak tusk it does not seem to like resizing

[bleak tusk]

Judging by settings menu you're still on the first version?

[tired coyote]

i did redownload it 🤔

whops

sorry 😁

[bleak tusk]

In game repo version will take a bit to update if you're using it

[tired coyote]

yeah i know

i read it on the website first and then mistook this text line as the one there

[bleak tusk]

Yeah, all good

[tired coyote]

yeah it works now

[woven lark]

just asking for part of my visual mod
do any of you guys mind if smoke clips into the interior or are you fine? (this question is for everybody btw)

[idle nest]

I'm fine

I mean, you won't see it go inside that much

And it would be realistic if you had you car windows "down"

[woven lark]

i cant force car windows down just for overhauled smoke

[idle nest]

Oh

[woven lark]

do you think this is acceptable or not

[idle nest]

Ahhhh

It's acceptable

It's not covering the driver's vision though, right?

[woven lark]

fyi this is the smoke

[idle nest]

Noic3

[woven lark]

not exactly but it might bug some

[idle nest]

Probably fine then

[woven lark]

mk

fixed with still good results from outside

[bleak tusk]

That looks pretty damn cool

[woven lark]

thanks

[burnt vessel]

I don't know where to ask... Has any1 the Pigeon files of the last game version before the remaster?Would be awesome to be able to fix/use certain older Pigeon mods again... And secondly I wondered whether it would be possible to implement these old parts back to the current Pigeon as alternate body option for example

[near plume]

Man we need a revamp of the pigeon expansion mod

If anyone remembers that

[neat meadow]

The one with the original flying pigeon?

[burnt vessel]

The Pigeon pack by taza?

[fiery acorn]

whats the proper way to texture cars? doing stuff directly on the texture files makes the actual livery all warped and stuff 😦

[devout solstice]

world editors material editor

[fiery ibex]

Beamng Needs a crane

[signal lotus]

CRGZ is making right now

[fiery ibex]

Yay!

[hushed gate]

Anyone got a mod for the 1967 Shelby GT500?

[drowsy leaf]

no

[frail pier]

Beamng also needs more planes!

[near plume]

Yep

[near plume]

Yessir

Miss that mod

[fiery ibex]

Yes

[neat meadow]

We all do

[carmine beacon]

i forgot where to get mods and there's no workshop ;-;

ah alright

[cedar thunder]

guys the d series dfa pack was removed 😭

i mean im not the guy who goes on the site all day and reads forums

[carmine beacon]

also does anyone know a good supercar or aston martin mod?

aight thx

[frail pier]

No doubt its on modland anyways.

[cedar thunder]

I’ve checked around but i didn’t see it anywhere

[frail pier]

Doesn't concern me anyway as I didn't use it but I hope the beam modding community isn't going downhill like the gta modding community.

Its not that. Its the principle of paywalls...

[drowsy leaf]

i have a paid mod

noone buys it tho

[frail pier]

Cool!

[drowsy leaf]

me literaly gonna make all of my mods paid

for the same reason loh

[frail pier]

Doesn't bother me so seems like its just gonna create more hastle for yall and backlash from other people tbh.

[drowsy leaf]

same

[frail pier]

I think its morally wrong that in a time when everyone is fighting poverty that you would even think of doing it tbh though and anyone who actually does it I don't agree with. Just exploiting people's desires to have a mod and for some people modding games is almost like an addiction and then it becomes a slippery slope.

I get modders want their work to be valued and they get credit etc and that is fine that should be the case as it is their hard work but paywalls aren't the way.

[drowsy leaf]

mimimimimimimimimi

exactly

[frail pier]

That isn't my point though.

[drowsy leaf]

cope

[frail pier]

And that is just rude and ignorant.

[drowsy leaf]

ok?

[frail pier]

Ykw not even gonna attempt to explain to yall further, ciao.

[drowsy leaf]

good

[woven lark]

lol

edit: sorry

[bleak tusk]

This morning I've got an hour to work on stuff so I'm going to add temp hiding the UI to advisor

Right click cycles between normal -> hidden and maybe gps only later

[slim sky]

does anyone have any good suspension mods?

[drowsy leaf]

You are working a lot on it lol, maybe don't work that much, you may get demotivated from the proyect, just a tip that might help

[bleak tusk]

Yeah, fair enough. Next update will be a bit away prob, I just wanted to fix the issues it had

[drowsy leaf]

Just wanted to give my tips so that you don't fall on the same trap I've fallen in sometimes

[bleak tusk]

Yep

I can't do too much fast now

Most of the features planned/bugs are ones I need to really sit down on and try logic out with someone smarter than me, or to do a lot of research into

[latent ivy]

sheesh

[late swan]

is there a way to save ai presets

like a mod or something so that way its pre configured with risk and everything

[pale flame]

Chryslers are too expensive, they should be free because I can’t afford them.

Especially with how high used car prices are and how we all are fighting extreme poverty so we can’t even drop 2 dollars it’s crazy

[latent ivy]

Imagine to put my Covet or the old ID as paid mod

[noble brook]

Hey does anybody know where to get a Bugatti Chiron mod? I tried 2 websites both gave me porn ads

[bleak tusk]

Feel like I should be working on my mod but I should just let it have a bit and not let it die from 1000 updates every second lol

[mighty berry]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/crash-test-deformable-barrier.22297/

How can i make it deformable?

[mighty berry]

Ok, thanks

[noble brook]

I'm dutch

[nimble valley]

did the kc5 wheels ever get modded to be 20 inches?

needs to be 20 and black to fit the bastion to make it look like hellcat 😄

[devout solstice]

no

[latent ivy]

yes

[drowsy leaf]

no???

[latent ivy]

yes

[frail pier]

And a new hood.

[nimble valley]

i did it. 20 inch Kc5s

now i need to change them to black

[frail pier]

Looks awesome!

[nimble valley]

it feels heavy too lol steering is heavier now i like it

you can see the brakes are not effective lol it takes time to stop maybe i made the mass a little to much

i found out the 20x11 are 11 kg and 19x10 are 9.6 so i changed the mass from 5.0 to 5.72 there about

i think making the hubcap mass also higher from 0.48 to 0.55 was a mistake

i will change back see if it still feels heavy. 19x10 probably has similar hub mass as 20x11

why is this happening?

this doesnt get colored i tried changing all 3 paint schemes still nothing

[devout solstice]

it's the trim I think. It's not mapped to a palette

[nimble valley]

ok it needs to be darker then

to not stick out like that

how do i recolor the wheels?

do i have to change the texture?

[latent ivy]

check the b.color.dds file in the wheel files and what's whiter turn black

work with Gimp

[nimble valley]

ok thanks will do

i thought it was the 08a_s

i cant add files to the zip only extract

[latent ivy]

then extract and when ur done pack it up back

[nimble valley]

oh yea ofc lol

[latent ivy]

ok

[nimble valley]

export as bc7?

or bc3

[latent ivy]

is it a photo?

[nimble valley]

its the b_color

all white parts turned black

[latent ivy]

is the og b_color file dds extension?

[nimble valley]

yes

[latent ivy]

then it should be exported to dds... and this cannot be realised with gimp

[nimble valley]

i have a nvidia dds exporter i just need to know the export bc type

[latent ivy]

well does it matter?

[nimble valley]

i will just try bc7

[latent ivy]

okay try

btw tell me in dm where do you got this dds exporter and how it works please

[nimble valley]

after repacking my extracted common its much smaller like 850 mb

the original is 2gb. I will just try anyways see what happens ingame

i cant move it or rename it either

[latent ivy]

go ahead, it might be compressed better? idk

[nimble valley]

ok will try

[latent ivy]

if you don't try you don't win

[nimble valley]

what the hell i cant rename or delete i could just minutes ago i accidently deleted common.zip and had to redownload it through steam but now i cant even move it or rename it

let alone delete

[latent ivy]

wha-

[nimble valley]

wtf did i do

i think..... i redownloaded a updated encrypted version. I just had a older common zip before

[latent ivy]

what is that

[nimble valley]

encrypted is you cant move it or delete only extract from it

[latent ivy]

oh

[nimble valley]

i think they just changed this shit just recently

i cant even rename it now hahaha

forget about changing that fking kc5 color

ok my bad

i had it open in another 7zip

[latent ivy]

bruh

[nimble valley]

im trying now

nothing changed

[latent ivy]

btw do you know how to model some rims in blender?

[nimble valley]

but my zip works

so i must have edited the wrong dds file i think the one i wanted to edit was the correct one

the _s not the _b color

[latent ivy]

i don't know how textures work on rims

does it work now?

[nimble valley]

im working on it

hell to re arrange the files

i hate 3d work

[latent ivy]

pfff

[nimble valley]

ok s didnt work

i will try b color maybe i did something wrong last time

[latent ivy]

i think u coloured the wrong parts to black in the b file

[nimble valley]

i made everything black

will not work like that?

[latent ivy]

is it now a black pic?

[nimble valley]

yes

[devout solstice]

seeing you struggle more and more amazes me

[latent ivy]

i think it will like it has alr normals and some stuff

save the black pic

[nimble valley]

or the bc7 doesnt work

[latent ivy]

try bc1?

[nimble valley]

first b color with bc7

this is why i dont do 3ds work

[devout solstice]

don't know why you're using gimp when paint.net has a built in dds exporter lol

[nimble valley]

photoshop

i did it haha

struggle more and more always pays off

holy shit it looks similar to the HC2

[latent ivy]

show how does it look please

[nimble valley]

b color is the one that changes the color and it needs bc3

yes i will show

why does my paint job never save in the config it always returns to white

[devout solstice]

because your info.json defines what your default color is

[latent ivy]

wait every config needs an info.json???

wait yea eye for goat

[nimble valley]

i cant get the paintjob right

wheels need more shine

[latent ivy]

it really looks nice bro

[nimble valley]

hell yea

yea paint job always returns to white

annoying

[latent ivy]

oh god

[nimble valley]

oh satan

ok yes this is now good

He will send you invite to server

[frail pier]

Cool.

[quick copper]

Hi, I'm new on this Discord. How easy is it to make cars e.t.c. in Automation. And where do you get it from?

Thanks, is it easy to use?

Thanks. Do you just look for automation, as i have and there are lots of things with that name.

[frozen frost]

Are the good quality modded vehicles locked behind some sort of author donation?

[quick copper]

OK, thanks for the help anyway.

[frozen frost]

I can't seem to find any, the list of mods in game are getting stale and I want better looking vehicles

mainly using the in-game repository

I'll check it out

[quick copper]

@latent ivy I've found the Automation that lets you build cars. It's 'Automation-the car company tycoon game' £23.79 or $31.00, on steam.

[dusk dragon]

every skin modder

[drowsy frost]

Na.

[drowsy leaf]

apart from the proffesionals

[dusk dragon]

and that's why they are professionals

[pale flame]

I don’t know if I’ve ever had something like that

A lot of no texture but I really only get that with new parts

[gilded locust]

Hi ... I have a special question: a user at youtube was writing that there is "a plugin for blender that defines nodes and beams in a jbeam file for you, and cross brace all the nodes" ... how is that plugin called??? thx in advance

sorry if I dismatched the channel

[floral phoenix]

very cool.

[gilded locust]

who is that guy?

[floral phoenix]

go read the message i replied to

[gilded locust]

I will .. thx

[wary socket]

@bleak tusk I really like the Beam Advisor.:-)

I would like to report a few bugs and also make some suggestions 😉

The Beam Advisor logo below the app is costing valuable space and make it higher than the standard navigation app. Could you maybe remove it/give it an enable/disable switch.

Bug Report: Calculated driven distance is very far off, around 3 times the actual driving distance is calculated. At 120 km h [2 km per minute) your app indicates 6 km of distance. This likely affects fuel consumption statistics and remaining range.

Bug Report: Oil and water temp is completely wrong, compared to the values in the official engine thermal debug app.

Bug Report: Transmission type is always manual.

Short messages don't seem to display anything ever?

Electric vehicles cause the app to disappear as they are apparently not detected as a powered vehicle.

Suggestion: Add oil temperature to the upper overview.

Suggestion: Move damage percentage in the upper overview to the right, make it the last value displayed.

Thank you for this great mod again. 👍

[bleak tusk]

Ty for the kind words :)

• Regarding logo - would you prefer an option that uses the full size, and expands the content area down, or would you like to have an option like the reduced mode but not transparent? Like the idea though and will add one of them
• DTE, fuel consumption and such are known to be wonky, it's how I calculate it, I'm using real ways to do it so no idea at this point why it's inaccurate (if it's a big issue, don't rely on it, as I have no idea where to go on them)
• Oil and water temps are what Beam provides me - if they're wrong then it's a Beam bug with engineInfo/electrics
• Also a Beam bug
• Not sure what you mean, they work fine for me & everyone else? The short messages that exist are for driving w/ parking brake on, damage changing, and fuel 10%/5%/0% (maybe you disabled them?)
• Known but seems to be map dependent as EVs work 100% fine for me on some maps (ie. Utah) but not others (ie. Automation Testing map)
• Not enough room for oil temp and I don't feel it's as important as water/coolant temp. Could add an option to choose which you'd prefer to show though
• The figures in the top bar are roughly ordered how ETS' figures are and going to keep them that way (ETS has gear->damage->fuel->message indicator, so mine has gear->damage->fuel->temp)

My fingers are now dead :v

[winter rampart]

Damn

[bleak tusk]

(Want to add on: I try to be reasonable with "this should be here instead" req's but it is my mod, and I want to try keep most design choices close to ETS/ATS where I can)

[winter rampart]

Wip

[bleak tusk]

First thought is commodore but /s

[glad walrus]

I talked to angelo234 to know if he's working on lane assist and he told me he worked on it but he deleted all his work ! ): ...

[signal lotus]

Really? I always liked his assistance mod and waited for update

That's sad :(

[bleak tusk]

He's said multiple times in comments it wouldn't happen so don't know why you're surprised

[winter rampart]

German commodore lol

[signal lotus]

I never looked into comments of his mods

I downloaded it from repo

[bleak tusk]

:squint:

[bleak tusk]

And yet on the repo it says it

[signal lotus]

Oh
Lmao

I didn't looked at it also
When im downloading mod im Looking only on thumbnail and name

[honest tree]

Etk 800 Ute?

[winter rampart]

Yes

[bleak tusk]

Makes sense to base it off that

Frankly I live off the etk 800 so I support that

[honest tree]

It's got something to it ngl

[winter rampart]

I mean the etk 800 is basically a the German version of a commodore

[honest tree]

Ah okay

[bleak tusk]

It's just sleek af

[winter rampart]

Yep

Don't mind me ruining the proportions 👍

(I make the windshield steeper)

[bleak tusk]

You break my 800 I break your kneecaps

lmao I think it's needed but please make some kind of rear swap

So you can have a tub, a tray or a tub w/ canopy or other accessories

[winter rampart]

Wdym rear swap

[bleak tusk]

Legit what I just said

[winter rampart]

Lid

[bleak tusk]

Allowing the rear to be a tub as your screenshot has, or a tray option too

[winter rampart]

Oh yeah

Wait I just realized what you meant

How are you supposed to put on a tray

[bleak tusk]

I mean the falcon for eg

It just cuts off and swaps

[winter rampart]

This is based on the vf commodore

It doesn't split apart

[bleak tusk]

Makes sense, commodores aren't useful for more than showing off really

[signal lotus]

What map is it if i can know please

[bleak tusk]

Roane County, iirc.

[signal lotus]

Thank you

[glad walrus]

That's what jhe respond to me....

[bleak tusk]

Well that's the reason

[gilded locust]

other question ... to make a video like this .. i have to set every car alone and then to record it ... like what? what is the best way to record a video like this?

aww sry wrong channel

[glad walrus]

lol

[clever canopy]

anyone have a idea whos making the t cross?

[wary socket]

@bleak tusk

Your welcome.

I would like to have the size of the total app reduced = the app should have less height. 😉 I think it already consumes enough screen space. Basically I want to scroll down the logo/transparent or not) down below out of the screeen.

Please have a look at this video which also contains some bug reports regarding temperature and distance.

https://youtu.be/lKmsMvOzaBE

I think DTE and fuel consumption would be pretty accurate, the problem is that - mabye - they are using the wrongly calculated moving distance.

You seem to have mixed up Fahrenheit, Celsius and something else.

Standard temperature display in in Fahrenheit... but it actually uses the Celsius value. Not sure what value Celsius values are... maybe kelvin which also floats arround in the game somewhere?

Ahh, I thought that it would display messages like the normal message app... things like coolant overheating ect...

An option would be nice. Maybe you could also squeeze it in? 😉

Thank you for consideration. 🙂

[bleak tusk]

I'll take a look at the video and stuff tomorrow

[latent ivy]

wait why would you turn a sport car into a...pick up or smth?

[dusky bronze]

ute

[polar cedar]

why not

[dusky bronze]

Complain to the aussies

[polar cedar]

beamng, where you can make pretty much anything

[dusky bronze]

Someone even made a tesla truck

[bleak tusk]

Sport utes exist

FG lineup was/is nice

[drowsy leaf]

yes

even 8 turbo ls3s
lel

[signal lotus]

So

[latent ivy]

seems pretty strange but cool at the same time lol

[onyx widget]

So first I created a new material in BeamNG's material editor.
Then I moved to blender and tried to find "etk_lights_remastered" in materials list, but I couldn't. So I added new material and named it "etki_lights_remastered" like in the .materials.json file I created in material editor

[latent ivy]

and it doesnt work fine?

[signal lotus]

I got no idea

[onyx widget]

It doesn't.
Maybe I did something wrong.
It's pretty possible because of my skills...

[latent ivy]

I hope you will figure it out sir

[pliant sequoia]

The schwerin s7 is the best sounding car in beam imo, it's probably my favourite "could be canon" brand

[abstract moat]

any modern day truck mod?

pickup truck

[spice fable]

Is the name 1:1 the same? Typos happen to the best od us lol

[onyx widget]

I don't know.
I want to leave it for tomorrow

[feral rock]

how hard would this be to make

if you already had a shopping cart model

[stray steppe]

i think it is not very hard if you use pre-made models and assets (pigeon/wigeon based body and its wheels and powertrain)

tbh i think it is quite easy

[frail pier]

If your looking for them message them through forums.

[snow blade]

As an American the utility version is so off-putting to see. LOL

[snow blade]

Wait Blender has a plug-in that creates the nodes and beams?

I’ve been doing the nodes/beams on my Bluebuck hearse manually and it’s taking forever and it’s super confusing!

Oooh okay.

I’ve been having trouble with mine because it makes the car “vibrate” even when off.

[feral rock]

this would make for an interesting map

[glad walrus]

Anyone have a lane assist mod?

[bleak tusk]

It's pretty normal lol

[nimble valley]

I remember that game on ps1 where we had a destruction derby on top of skyscraper lol pushing each other off.

Yea would be cool. Lol the older games were more brutal i also remember in another game if you landed on top of the roof of opponent in a race you got 500 points and opponents car exploded and it was called "death from above". Brutal lol.

[latent ivy]

my favorite mod rn

im pretty sure its not supposed to move

its used for frontal impacts like this

oh

it dosent look that detailed but it works well

its the first of its kind tho

[brazen scarab]

tbh, I don't think the Sunburst Facelift by Theo would be a facelift, it would be a new model instead

[whole ruin]

Still incorrect, because they only change the exterior parts, add a new hybrid system, rims changes, and the interior guages. But the body shape itself is still the same as the 2009 to 2014 model.

[latent ivy]

First model, It's a classic muscle car, one of my favs. Or supposed to be anyways lol

This is tougher than I thought at first if I am honest, I am basing it on the Barstow's chassis and suspension parts. The JBeam for the body is in fact going to be its own, so not a meshlap, This isn't BeamNG.Bootleg lol

[latent ivy]

I love the name of the "ohsh*- handle"

[gilded locust]

I will find the YouTube Link ... Wait ...

[dense portal]

what

its on the same chassis as 2009 so its a facelift by definition lol

[steel fractal]

eh yall know how long mods take to be aproved ?

[wooden bolt]

they are approved only on monday-friday at 10-11AM

it takes one day

[steel fractal]

Ahh ok

[bleak tusk]

Anybody know of a mod that adds some kind of tray option for the H-series?
(like this)

[signal lotus]

Not really

Sometimes you need to wait 5 days

[signal lotus]

Sorry i don't know

[brazen scarab]

there is probably one but its most likely private

just a question, but which upcoming car mod are you guys excited for?

[signal lotus]

Picnic, sunburst facelift, crane

[tired coyote]

https://beamng.com/threads/85702/
https://beamng.com/threads/84800/

[brazen scarab]

me : proceeds to name more than 10 mods

I feel like the upcoming Bulwark has kinda become forgotten

mainly because of the Centauri, and yes, I do know Kers is taking a break from the Bulwark

[velvet lichen]

anyone know any realistic car mods

[brazen scarab]

there is a few public ones on the forums

but some are still WIP and most are private

[bleak tusk]

tesla is nice but it's semi private ig

[bleak tusk]

Centauri, been following it and it's super nice

Bulwark too because need more SUVs

[brazen scarab]

Civetta Mondello and Gavril Citra :

[idle nest]

Search tank on modland and you'll fine one of those. (Just rip of tank with node grabber)

I think it works

Not completely sure though

[bleak tusk]

🙃 I'm not interested in using stolen mods thanks

[idle nest]

Wait those r stolen mods?!?!?!?

[brazen scarab]

bruh

[idle nest]

What

[brazen scarab]

modland is a stolen mods website

[idle nest]

Oh oof

[bleak tusk]

Modland and all of those sites are stolen low quality mods

[idle nest]

I have made big mistake

But there are mods on there that aren't on the beamNG mod thingy

[bleak tusk]

Because they're often stolen (private/paid work) or low quality meshslaps etc

[idle nest]

Ok

[latent ivy]

Move here Guys

[wooden shore]

Okay

[glad jetty]

here

[brazen scarab]

still tryna think of a custom name

[twin bobcat]

Ibishu Reflex
Ibishu Celestial
Ibishu Alabaster (Sounds more like a Crossover but ok)
Ibishu Aura
Ibishu Barrage

Some names I thought of. They're all pretty crap

[nimble valley]

what does it look like ?

[wooden shore]

Reflex is a good one

[twin bobcat]

Ayy

[wooden shore]

The rest sound like SUVs

[latent ivy]

I may go on with Palent because it reminds me of a girl that used to live in a city from Italy called Palerno i guess(i used to love that girl, a story nvm)

[glad jetty]

Reflex: like what @wooden shore said, really nice
Celestial: ripoff Mazda Cosmo
Alabaster: idk
Aura: maybe?
Barrage: also idk

[wooden shore]

Aura makes me think of Oldsmobile Aurora

[latent ivy]

Barrage is good for something American

[glad jetty]

palent sounds like another SUV or maybe a minivan (we already had one, the old Ibishu Kashira)

[brazen scarab]

Ibishu Frilent
Ibishu Toresse

[latent ivy]

yea

[twin bobcat]

Yeah fair enough. Just used a name generator and picked the ones that sounded at least somewhat decent LMAO

[latent ivy]

Ibishu Dicky

[glad jetty]

i could imagine a Barrage as like a baby Roamer

[wooden shore]

Reflex sounds sporty and nimble so I think it's perfect

[twin bobcat]

Reflex has a certain edge to it that really fits the car

[latent ivy]

Everyone agrees with this one?

[glad jetty]

sure, i'm good with it

[brazen scarab]

sure that sounds good

[twin bobcat]

Imo you can also make it the Reflex sedan and Reflex hatchback. As a separate more dynamic / sporty model

[glad jetty]

a hatchback would work good for a modern Covet

sedan would be the Pessima, hatch would be the Covet

[bleak tusk]

If anybody's ever doing a large SUV that's not lore friendly (custom brand) you can yoink my model name idea lol

[latent ivy]

Okay. Ibishu Reflex.

[twin bobcat]

I might be the only one that actually likes the shape of the taillights. I really dig 'em

[glad jetty]

very, very nice indeed

[brazen scarab]

if anybody needs names for cars for maybe lore friendly or even custom brands, just ask me, I can come up with lots of names

[glad jetty]

you know

i wonder if this could be modified for a modern version of the Sunburst maybe?

[bleak tusk]

Come up with an actual brand name for me and I'd be happy

[fervent crag]

That's already in the works

[latent ivy]

Already Theo does a Sunburst Facelift

[whole ruin]

Um I was saying that the pessima is mainly based on the accord but with few design changes

[glad jetty]

nice

[bleak tusk]

I've had the model name 'everglade' in my head as the name for a high end/large family SUV (w/ offroad trim - think high end jeep I guess)

[latent ivy]

yes i saw but this is based on the civic so nah

[twin bobcat]

I can help too if you want? I play a lot of automation and have too many brands LMAO. Could probably come up with something

[brazen scarab]

I mean I actually have 2 fictional brands, Falkern and Parostar

[bleak tusk]

Honestly, sure

[latent ivy]

You have Automation? Can you help with some Engines for the Reflex?

[brazen scarab]

I could come up with a name

[whole ruin]

Pessima is a midsized sedan, the covet is a compact sedan (ik it's a hatch, but still based on a civic). So it makes sense to base to that vehicle as a covet

[bleak tusk]

I'm not a modeller so it'll never leave my head - I tried to draw the car even but just come up with a bad flat image lol

[twin bobcat]

I never tried modding before. I have no idea how to do anything x..x

[whole ruin]

It makes logical sense

[brazen scarab]

what does your brand mainly produce?

[latent ivy]

oh sh*t. Can anybody help the Reflex with some Automation Engines?

[twin bobcat]

Where is it from? What do they make?

[bleak tusk]

Not 100% sure lol. Everglade would be like the Ford Everest/one of the Jeeps I guess. But my guess is mainly SUVs and a small SUV/hatch crossover. Nothing outside of that realm

[twin bobcat]

Yeahhh...sorry bud. Would've loved to help but I don't want to be the reason a project like this fails LMAO

[royal coral]

no pls, there has been covet sedan that was made in 2k15

[brazen scarab]

so basically Jeep

[bleak tusk]

aussie aussie aussie jk never thought of that

The only real detail I have is a model name and some ideas in my head I can't draw

[latent ivy]

why would it fail...?

[royal coral]

Agreed with you

[bleak tusk]

Grand cherokee kinda region https://www.jeep.com.au/grand-cherokee/capability.html

[twin bobcat]

No idea. Probably because of my sheer incompetence to port over engines from Automation to Beam

[whole ruin]

Pessima is midsized lmao

[royal coral]

better to be fit based ibishu

[latent ivy]

pff we could work together with some tutorials help from YouTube

[twin bobcat]

I'll look into it. Feel free to dm me to discuss further

[latent ivy]

okay sir

[brazen scarab]

how about maybe Rocky or maybe Duster

wait no there's a car named the Duster irl

[bleak tusk]

lol

[latent ivy]

BRUH NOT THAT DACIA DUSTER BRUUUH IM TIRED OF 2022 GPL ROMANIAN CARS

[bleak tusk]

Sucks I can't model though as I'd love to make it an actual car. It'd have a RWD trim and all up to a AWD tdci 😋

[fervent crag]

Plymouth Duster

[royal coral]

both rocky and duster has been taken irl, daihatsu and dacia took it

[royal coral]

Ibishu Pessima X

[brazen scarab]

Daihatsu that bastard

[bleak tusk]

They also don't sound brand name ish

[royal coral]

daihatsu?

[brazen scarab]

is Summit taken?

[royal coral]

ever heard of it

[fervent crag]

Not sure. Wonderful Openhearted Wagon is taken for sure.

[latent ivy]

Okay. I'm out of here. Bye!

[bleak tusk]

Summit Everglade

Sounds crazily fancy

[brazen scarab]

oh for god sake it's taken by Eagle

[twin bobcat]

Just looking at a Youtube tutorial makes me extremely confused and I honestly have no idea what's happening LMAO. I don't think I'm cut out for this, sorry 😅

[brazen scarab]

the Eagle Summit

[latent ivy]

I may be able to help too, we shall keep this together. We can do this.

[bleak tusk]

Smh names. Even looked nice with my poor logo drawing skills

[royal coral]

it's good and simple

[twin bobcat]

Perhaps. I have an attention span the size of a pebble and have a pretty busy schedule most of the time

[brazen scarab]

sadly Eagle had to take the damn name

[high lily]

please not that tailight

[glad jetty]

curse you Eagle

[latent ivy]

don't worry you can switch to the base ones

[bleak tusk]

pft. nothing stopping me using it

[glad jetty]

yeah, about that

[bleak tusk]

lol

Short lived hope

Also I noticed "Everglade" is close to "everglades" which is a wetland in florida

So other potential model names:

• Camargue
• Pantanal
• Okavango
• Kerala

:b all the possibilities

[brazen scarab]

how about Craven? just made up this name

[royal coral]

-Camargue is pretty matching name

• pantanal? no
  -okavango? yes but geely used it as their midsize suv
  -kerala is a state in india

[royal coral]

better

[bleak tusk]

They're all wetland names

I do like camargue (feels like a mid range suv maybe?)

Honestly don't know why I bother putting so much brain power into this when it's not going to amount to anything lol

[brazen scarab]

Craven Everglades
Craven Carmague

[bleak tusk]

It's doable, not really sure

[royal coral]

it's good enough

[royal coral]

Falkern and parostar is pretty good as fictional version of volvo and polestar

[brazen scarab]

actually Falkern is American while Parostar is Malaysian

[bleak tusk]

Gonna also throw in:

• Celeste - some kind of van (Hyundia Staria based - Celestial in french is Céleste so random one)

[royal coral]

Celeste? sound pretty good for a midsize luxury sedan like genesis and azera

[brazen scarab]

maybe Seminole too as a small compact car (got the name from a tribe in Florida)

[bleak tusk]

Craven in french is lâche... Lache sounds fun lol (if you pronounce it "lar-shay")

[bleak tusk]

Seminole is a GTA name, iirc

https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Seminole

[brazen scarab]

oh for god sake

[bleak tusk]

🙃

[brazen scarab]

how about Calusa or Tequesta

more model names

[bleak tusk]

Could even be a brand name
Calusa Everglade
Calusa Camargue
Calusa Celeste

Calusa Tequesta sounds funky

[brazen scarab]

do you have Automation?

[bleak tusk]

Nope, though I have played it and didn't really find it fun

[twin bobcat]

I have like, 2000+ hours in Automation at this point LMAO

[brazen scarab]

lmao

[bleak tusk]

Sucks that you can't just export design ideas from your brain

[brazen scarab]

yes kinda sucks you have limited car bodies, plus the very bad deformation

[bleak tusk]

I can't draw at all

So I can't really show my designs off

[brazen scarab]

I can somewhat draw, I came up with a car design in like 2 hours

[royal coral]

dani, how do i make an automation car with interiors?

[brazen scarab]

idk, I don't have automation either

lemme ask the discord server

[abstract moat]

very fast response, but there is dmvc_carrier in assetto corsa, if its not encrypted then itsa good base

[earnest vapor]

I've started up work on a Pontiac Aztek mod

I haven't gotten the model to work in-game but it will work eventually

[latent ivy]

im pretty sure theres someone out there whos going to make a truck based off the 01 toyota tundra called the "ibishu summit"

[onyx widget]

picnic_exhaust?
ok, cool

[ruby topaz]

hey guys, what's the best website to get mods

[latent ivy]

Nissan Altima

[latent ivy]

okay sorry sir

Is the Real Time Vehicle Editor better than the NodeBeamEditor? I know it's outdated but i only ask if it does its job fine.

[ruby topaz]

Why

[latent ivy]

Okay but i was asking about his older brother called Real Time Vehicle Editor

[wooden bolt]

[latent ivy]

So is it still good?

[latent ivy]

Imma try it myself, because...What could go wrong?

[latent ivy]

what could go wrong?

[clear bobcat]

How do I download mods for cars that are real?

Like a Dodge Demon?

[ripe raptor]

not really any good options

modland and worldofmods are horrendous websites which do have those vehicles

but not worth getting, the least that'll happen will be that the car wont work

[clear bobcat]

Ok thank you bro.

[ripe raptor]

very sorry about that, i believe there are websites which dont give your PC issues but idk

i tried installing a modland miata mod recently, body didnt load tho so i uninstalled it

[drowsy leaf]

fr

[brazen scarab]

finally I've always wanted an Aztek mod

[ripe raptor]

with a tent?

[brazen scarab]

just any Aztek mod in general

[ornate juniper]

Are there any good honda/toyota like cars?

[nimble valley]

i have it

[latent ivy]

This is why using a plane to model a car is not a good idea... I spent many weeks on this, to figure out that it is essentially invisible from the bottom 😦

[nimble valley]

looks like a chevelle is nice

[latent ivy]

Interesting how you guessed that hehe

But yeah, I always have loved the chevelle. It's a really nice car, but I cant figure out the grille llmao
Might just make a remodel of the 70 Chevelle and call it the Gavril Renegade or something. Idk

[bleak tusk]

@latent ivy Should prob move conversation out of #modding-general

But same here

[latent ivy]

True! haha

[bleak tusk]

I get very lost in my own thoughts if not doing something

[latent ivy]

I've been cursed with depressions, so I feel you there

[bleak tusk]

I've probably had something wrong half my life but parents don't believe in anything. I got the chance to see the doctor privately once and got diagnosed with social anxiety but that's the most

[latent ivy]

Ah, that's not fun tbh 😦
I'd be here for a few hours if I were to list everyhting the doctor said I have.
All I know is that my ADHD meds do not work if I take my anti depressants.
So, Focus on stuff and be depressed for no reason, or have that weird feeling of happy and not focus on any- oooh funky lights

[bleak tusk]

Sounds pretty rough. Think most of my issues stemmed from living in the middle of nowhere on a farm and having a somewhat terrible childhood (bullying being the least of it in primary)

Heh, speaking of focus... as I have said many times I'd love to model my car in which is a Ford Focus. I have my trim model as a reference (mine is the TDCi 2.0L - visually the same as the petrol base but with a spoiler) and I see a lot around so I could just ask random people for pics of their other models (would need a Zetec and a XR5 Turbo for ref.)

Maybe some day I'll find enough interest in learning blender, who knows

[latent ivy]

What year is your Focus?

[bleak tusk]

2009, which is Mark 2/ Mk.II

[latent ivy]

Also, wanna hide in DMs? lol

[latent ivy]

I had a 2004 Ford Focus modeled for a different game, but nothing came of it lol

[bleak tusk]

Have sent these before in #automotive but:

[latent ivy]

That looks identical to the one I have modeled too 😮

[bleak tusk]

👀

Lemme dig an interior pic out

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/282207139752050688/902409607098556447/20211026_151327.jpg

[latent ivy]

Hehe my model doesn't have an interior 😛

[bleak tusk]

I love my focus, it's a lovely little car

Not too overly digital

[latent ivy]

I love my old chevy truck for the same reason tbh

No weird electrical things that can break for no reason like my F150 lol

[bleak tusk]

Mine is electrical but not stupid

It's got a little red LCD in the cluster showing time, temp, and stuff like doors open etc. One line red LCD in the radio and no bluetooth or crap. Just time and date

[latent ivy]

Nicee

Mine has an aftermarket radio. Ironically, the original was stolen haha

I've got a mechanical odometer and a few analog gauges telling me what I really need to know, other than my speed. That doesn't seem to work anymore lol

[bleak tusk]

Lol, rip. Need one of them gps ones

[latent ivy]

I have an OBDII reader for most of the stuff 😄

[bleak tusk]

But yeah anyway. Some day I might find the patience to model it in

[latent ivy]

1996 Chevrolet C1500, its the second(?) year of OBDII i think

[bleak tusk]

I've offered any modders to get accurate pics of my car if they ever want to model it in so there's that too

[latent ivy]

I mean, since I have a Focus modeled, I might look into finishing it up and getting it into BeamNG for you^^

Also my model is a 2007

[bleak tusk]

Should be similar ish

If you do want to I'll shoot you some interior pics, if you want them

[latent ivy]

For sure! I'd love to finish it. It will take some time tho since my mind goes places and doesn't usually stay on one thing for long... heh

I have a widebody kit for it somewhere, but it's nowhere near finished

[bleak tusk]

I'll grab some more non dash ones in a bit

[latent ivy]

Oki! Also, DMs? xDD

[bleak tusk]

If ya want to sure

[latent ivy]

Just so that we don't get slapped for being annoying lol

HAHAHA YES

[bleak tusk]

Fun fact - my focus is a South African built car, but in Aus (and RHD ofc)

[latent ivy]

Niceeee

[bleak tusk]

Trim levels are Base -> Zetec -> TDCi -> XR5 Turbo
*edit: base model is called the LX

And a few diff engines ofc

Mine being TDCi so it's the 2.0L Turbo diesel, 4cyl

[latent ivy]

One of the people I used to live with at one point had a Lancia Scorpio. It came from france, to australia, to Poland, to Saudi Arabia, and then USA lol

[bleak tusk]

All the fun

Forgot they also came in sedan variant

Yikes... a lot

Mine's legit the 2nd best engine though, the 2.0DT Diesel, 6 speed auto. Only better is the XR5 turbo which is a 2.5L turbo charged petrol which only come in a 6 speed manual

[keen stirrup]

Does anybody know a good Tesla Model S mod?

Or a Tesla Model X

[bleak tusk]

There's a model 3 but it's semi private

Otherwise no, no good quality/not stolen ones

[keen stirrup]

What about Model 3?

[fervent crag]

The one on the forums currently has an issue where the rear axles die when you drive.
Until that's fixed there aren't any better mods that aren't ETK800 meshslaps.

[keen stirrup]

I once had that mod but i lost it. That’s why i’m asking for other Tesla mods right now

https://www.beamng.com/resources/tesla-roadster.16663/ I found this mod but it’s outdated. Could it still work?

[fervent crag]

It's still OK.

[keen stirrup]

Ok thank you!

[keen stirrup]

Sorry that i’m asking you so much but can you send a link to that mod?

[fervent crag]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/tesla-model-3.16304/

[keen stirrup]

I just downloaded it and it’s not the same mod that i used to have. The axles aren’t broken on this mod (atleast for me). Are you sure this is the right mod?

[fervent crag]

Hmm, maybe updated? dunno.

[keen stirrup]

Could be. Actually… i downloaded the mod from modland. The steering wheel actually moved on that one, not on this one. And the car was also lower. That might be the reason my my mod was so different than this one.

[steel fractal]

brrrrr

my wendover skin got aproved https://beamng.com/resources/toxic-wendover-skin.22389/

[frank kelp]

that's so funny

[latent ivy]

L o l

[unkempt shuttle]

Anyone has a Download link for a dyno ?

[ripe raptor]

theres a wheel roller prop in game, just enable slow motion and add the engine info ui app thing or whatever its called and you can measure power or torque manually

[brazen scarab]

I hope someone makes a Carbon E7 mod at some point

[ripe raptor]

carbon e7? whats that

[ripe raptor]

oh

looks like a hot wheels car

[brazen scarab]

fun fact : the bars are part of the body

[azure agate]

The bluebuck may have a wagon mod available.

[azure agate]

[ripe raptor]

[azure agate]

[azure agate]

[bleak tusk]

LeGran wagon looks nice

[ripe raptor]

[ripe raptor]

tried installing the Jargl mod, didnt work though

[nimble valley]

Is there a 3rd gen camaro mod?

[drowsy leaf]

[brazen scarab]

[drowsy leaf]
