[ashen flame]

i don’t make mods for others.

[latent ivy]

you can get a coke for more than the car that will last you at least months

[nimble valley]

i will pay for simulation style mods

[verbal fog]

then you have the kid who demands free mods

[ashen flame]

i make mods that satisfy myself

[nimble valley]

if someone can provide that experience to me

[wind flicker]

@ashen flame no

[frank kelp]

beamng is a simulation by definition

[latent ivy]

please dont beg for mods

[wind flicker]

i am 20 yers

[worn tree]

Mehh I see that, but at the end of the day, if I was to pay for something official (around the same price, look at ETS2 or CMS) then I know I'll be able to use it forever. This is my only personal issue I have with paid mods.

[ashen flame]

please please do not beg me to make mods.

Modding is a hobby to me, I do not make mods upon request or commissions.

[latent ivy]

valid thought, but do remember the time cost of mods

a good beamng mod is MONTHS of work

[wind flicker]

i am do no make mods

[latent ivy]

so is 5 dollars really that much for that much work?

[verbal fog]

english 100

[nimble valley]

no i guess its fair i just dont like the mod

[latent ivy]

yee, which is 100% valid

[ashen flame]

what do you mean? You once asked me if I spoke/or was Romanian?

[verbal fog]

if you dont like it, just dont buy it lol

[latent ivy]

you dont need to buy it of course! No one should ever be given the idea otherwise

[nimble valley]

but 5 dollars is still 5 dollars

to alot of people here its alot

[ashen flame]

Regardless of age. Modding is still a hobby to me and nothings changing that

[latent ivy]

yeah, 5 dollars. Could buy a burger, or a whole car that lasts you months

[worn tree]

Definitely, I just guess if it is paid, the modder should sacrifice more time and dedication to it, making it last. Because if they don't, it isn't a worthy purchase.

I know this is pressure, but at the end of the day it's a paid mod, and my expectations go up on this particular part

[latent ivy]

then its not really aimed at them? Losing months of time for no gain is a lot for some people too

[latent ivy]

yeah, mine do too

if its paid I expect it to get some support

[latent ivy]

bugs should get fixed and mod updated for a reasonable timeframe

[verbal fog]

like i said, be glad you have free mods to begin with, and im not referring to garbage meshslaps

[bleak tusk]

I could make my mod paid tomorrow and so many people would hate my guts because I'm making a low effort, low work mod paid
Mods like the Picnic deserve to be paid because they're high quality and took a lot of work

[nimble valley]

what is the main difference of the covet and picnic?

[coarse sorrel]

yeah i was gonna ask if there will be any content updates, and if so how often

[verbal fog]

it is it's own model

[nimble valley]

what makes it unique to the covet

[ashen flame]

omw to make the bolide tow hitches mod paid

[quaint otter]

it's newer

french

[latent ivy]

Its probably best to let LucasBE answer this

[frank kelp]

mesh and texture quality, drivetrain, different segment and era
jbeam is completely standalone as well

[worn tree]

Literally everything, the only similarities is the size and body style basically

[verbal fog]

also iirc the engine model is from scratch too

[worn tree]

Oh, and it's also FWD 🤣 that's about it

[frank kelp]

it is, yes. everything is made from scratch

[nimble valley]

the covet is fwd

[verbal fog]

yeah that deserves to be a paid mod lol

[worn tree]

No sh1t sherlok

[nimble valley]

we all know what i mean

[wind flicker]

let me do it victor create my sugestion mods and tunnurrs

[bleak tusk]

Why does the picnic have to be unique?

[nimble valley]

yet we all try to avoid the point

[ashen flame]

what do you mean?????

[frank kelp]

the covet is a double wishbone/swing arm fwd japanese hatchback
the picnic is a mcpherson strut/torsion beam fwd french subcompact hatchback

[coarse sorrel]

mmmmm

[bleak tusk]

Where is this rule that a mod has to be unique??

[verbal fog]

so is basically every other '90s hatchback

[latent ivy]

is english your first language?

[ashen flame]

Victor :skullard:

[earnest vapor]

I know a Victor that makes mods, except he actually tries

[ashen flame]

he said he’s from Moldova

[nimble valley]

it wasnt a funny joke to me

[verbal fog]

im not joking tho?

[earnest vapor]

He's the guy behind the LHD Miramar on the repo😎

[nimble valley]

i dont get why you get to be a smartass and i dont

[ashen flame]

mans on his high horse

[verbal fog]

why are you so triggered about what i said lol

[nimble valley]

saying no shit sherlok like im some kind of a moron

[latent ivy]

ohh that probably could explain some of it. Google translate can sometimes kaboom

[bleak tusk]

I kind of wish this channel would be locked for a bit

Or just permanently until stuff calms down

[ashen flame]

Likely that, because I could not make this out

[bleak tusk]

People breaking rules here and there, causing drama daily

[wind flicker]

@earnest vapor my rusion frind

[worn tree]

They're both hatchbacks, both FWD, literally everything else is different? I don't see what you don't get about that?

Just because it's a similar style to the Covet don't mean it is the same... You are acting as if it's a meshslap

[bleak tusk]

Profanity is banned isn't it?

[ashen flame]

Even with reading it more than once

[coarse sorrel]

...

[verbal fog]

in this channel yes

[bleak tusk]

Cus I've counted some profanity in this channel in the last hour

[ashen flame]

Filters certain words

[earnest vapor]

Shit it's only the BeamNG channels

[worn tree]

You lot really getting uptight about the s word 🤣

[coarse sorrel]

ehh the moderation in this server is questionable

[verbal fog]

the moderation is fine, the members that cause drama are the questionable ones

[bleak tusk]

I'm just pointing out I got muted for using it in #game-discussion-1 but people are ok flinging it left right and centre here

[nimble valley]

we all provide no value except the devs and the devs are the only ones who say nothing in here lol

[frank kelp]

I mean just compare them

[latent ivy]

it is in some channels and when directed negatively at another user. In other channels its meant to be limited and not like, all you say

[nimble valley]

everyone with big mouths here provide nothing of value here this is why it is like it is here

[bleak tusk]

Fair then

[coarse sorrel]

its somewhat inconsistent imo

[verbal fog]

picnic looks so much better than the covet lol

[ashen flame]

So do you. Sorry to burst your ego

[latent ivy]

Because mods are humans, and a lot of issues are gray

[rugged dawn]

hey i got a question

[worn tree]

Well I explained my point very fairly to you, what else do you want me to say???

[nimble valley]

at least i never claimed i was a hot shot like you

[worn tree]

Ahhh so you contradicted yourself

[ashen flame]

Since when did I claim I was a hot shot?

[verbal fog]

it would be amazing if you would stop instigating arguments

[latent ivy]

lets not get 1v1 headshots only in here

[rugged dawn]

im new, can you drive and customize jdm cars in online?

[worn tree]

You're now being what you saught to destroy

[wind flicker]

my chanel name beamng drive01

[verbal fog]

dude please shut it

[latent ivy]

nice, what does that have to do with anything here

[rugged dawn]

can you drive and customize jdm cars in online?

[latent ivy]

hey if people are doing that mod dms are open

[latent ivy]

ask in online

[ashen flame]

1: that was outside Beamcord

[worn tree]

Anyways I explained my point to you @nimble valley, I can't do anything else for ya, at the end of the day what I said was facts about the Picnic and the Covet 🤣

[ashen flame]

Two: maybe if you weren’t such an arse, I wouldn’t pay mind.

[verbal fog]

tbh i would love it if this channel didnt have drama every time someone talked here

[bleak tusk]

Are any of the mods here in Aus/NZ?

[latent ivy]

Ok this is now getting out of hand, yall need to chill before I start muting

[wind flicker]

I know this is about mods

[latent ivy]

dont attack other users

[worn tree]

Ahahah it's the whole childish Picnic movement

Aghhh man miss the days of the old community

[quaint otter]

hot take: the drama is entertaining and keeps things active

[verbal fog]

tbh i would 100% buy the picnic if my gpu was working

[latent ivy]

This is normal for this community what you mean old lmao

[ashen flame]

I miss the Pre-Beamcord era. (PB)

[latent ivy]

buy the picnic, 3d print it, use it as gpu, profit

[verbal fog]

lmao

[bleak tusk]

I want the Picnic irl

[ashen flame]

Atleast you’d get a picnic sculpture to play with

[latent ivy]

are you saying you want to have a picnic

[bleak tusk]

Just it has to be RHD then

[worn tree]

Ahahah I guess, just back when I joined Beam things seemed wayyy more chill, no kids or many people who wanted to create drama. There's always a few, but still

[nimble valley]

and how about you?

[opal bramble]

Opinions on KissMP vs BeamMP? I've been a user of BeamMP for a while, and recently heard of KissMP.

[bleak tusk]

😳

[worn tree]

I have a 3D printer but it's broke, I'd love to print a Picnic hahaha

[ashen flame]

Print out a GTI, or the Young

[verbal fog]

feel free to fund me so i can buy a 3d printer

[latent ivy]

both are fine, beammp has had some weird shadyness in the past but now seems pretty good. KissMP is a lot more stable with updates

[latent ivy]

[ashen flame]

I’ll take some funds to buy myself a 3d printer

[opal bramble]

How large is the playerbase on KissMP?

[bleak tusk]

Abusing your emoji powers

[nimble valley]

i apologize for saying that in such a way but i will not stop thinking logically and saying it as it is

[latent ivy]

just 3d print the 3d printer silly

[ashen flame]

Start a vehicle emporium

[bleak tusk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/826380751674802186.webp?size=96&quality=lossless

[latent ivy]

not sure, a lot smaller since beammp kinda took off

[ashen flame]

Walls. Nothing but cars, house made of car

[pale flame]

Pretty small

[ashen flame]

Dead :trol:

[pale flame]

I’d say 5 in one server max

[worn tree]

My bad, will 3D print myself a new hotend so I can 3D print myself a new 3D printer so I can print myself a house to live in and a loving wife, maybe even a Picnic

[verbal fog]

clarkson's house car moment

[opal bramble]

Can I have both mods installed at the same time, or would installing KissMP require uninstalling BeamMP?

[latent ivy]

which I for one love every new update having to explain the same error to beammp users becauase beammp cant be 3 braincells to check the version number and not load if its too high smh

[ashen flame]

Yes you can

[latent ivy]

[pale flame]

Well it’s the beam community what do you expect

[opal bramble]

Alright, I guess I'll try it out then.

[bleak tusk]

I do wonder if any mods here are aus/nz though

[pale flame]

Ok

[bleak tusk]

I'm the only aus mod on one server and it's calmed down the whack by a lot having someone to supervise the weird hours

[pale flame]

Ok

[nimble valley]

how can FJ tell me to shut it?

[latent ivy]

I dont think so but I never ask

[bleak tusk]

Fair

[latent ivy]

hm?

[verbal fog]

i was a mod once in a server and i stayed up till like 3am most nights because no other mods were online

[nimble valley]

its his opinion and few others that im annoying but that doesnt mean the entire community

[fiery acorn]

lukewarm take: i just want to see people post mods instead of drag on a non-issue for 11 months

[bleak tusk]

Same here, good times, long nights

[bleak tusk]

Time to spin up the ol brain and make stuff

[ashen flame]

I’d personally understand why he told you to

[bleak tusk]

looking at a trello full of todos

[fiery acorn]

since beammp stopped being weird*

[verbal fog]

tbh sometimes it sucked because the server would get raided and i would be the only person handling it

[pale flame]

Wow

[fiery acorn]

currently subjecting myself to learning substance 💀

[bleak tusk]

No idea what that is

[quaint otter]

the obvious solution here is to just create a thread for arguing

[bleak tusk]

I'm learning flexbox a bit more

[frank kelp]

substance is probably the best tool if you want to improve your mods' quality

[fiery acorn]

photoshop for 3d models

[latent ivy]

Im confused on what you are asking, no one is forcing you to stop talking. They will get a bit forceful if someone is being rude though, that does happen

[bleak tusk]

Oh ok

[latent ivy]

10/10 this

a pbr texture tool for 3d

[bleak tusk]

Nothing useful for me

[latent ivy]

you can get a free license if you are a student or ok with lying

[fiery acorn]

but my weeb furry fish skin was already so high quality! ||/s||

[bleak tusk]

Cries in CSS

[latent ivy]

sounds kinda fishy

[latent ivy]

counter strike source makes me cry too

[ashen flame]

Could confirm, been using it for a while. Other than it being Adobe and breaking sometimes it’s quite good

[verbal fog]

salmon is the best sushi fish, change my mind

[bleak tusk]

Probably the worst part of making my mod was styling

[latent ivy]

I wonder if github copilot does css

[fiery acorn]

hey never say never, i thought i'd only ever do my shitty lua mod but here i am making cringe skins and underpowered 3-cylinder engines

[frank kelp]

fr

[fiery acorn]

!important
oh no

[bleak tusk]

Like tuning the styles to be 100% accurate to ATS

[latent ivy]

them some sexy material skills tho

[fiery acorn]

the power of substance

[latent ivy]

some slight wearing could look dope

[bleak tusk]

Don't look and it's all ok

[verbal fog]

im surprised there has been no lore-friendly smart car yet

especially with cherrier existing

[latent ivy]

the power of being knowledgeable at substance*

its really easy to get 'procedural-itus' with substance

[frank kelp]

it does have wear, just not a lot. I like my stuff semi-clean lol

[ashen flame]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/478511029832122379/970757819089453076/unknown.png

[latent ivy]

where you can tell literally what masks they used and stuff

[bleak tusk]

Okay wait
Genuine modding time

Would anybody like a full tutorial wrote (up to date) on making UI mods?

[fiery acorn]

if i wasn't physically incapable of 3d modelling (injuries that dont let me use a mouse anymore) i'd be working on something like that. i just want a tiny slow and quirky shitbox to be honest

[bleak tusk]

I'm considering writing one but I don't know if anybody would find it actually useful

[ashen flame]

Been doing most of my stuff with substance lately

[latent ivy]

do it! let people learn from ya since apps have the least docs

[fiery acorn]

someone would 100% benefit from it yes

[verbal fog]

i can model one, i just cant do all the jbeam stuff cuz idk how to do it + my gpu doesnt work atm so i cant even if i did learn

[fiery acorn]

time for a community project then! i can do lua lol

[bleak tusk]

I'm not an expert at it but I might be able to do something beneficial

[ashen flame]

It has all ready, like grunge

[ashen flame]

Normals and all that

[latent ivy]

is the mouse the issue or you not being able to deal with mouse buttons n stuff

[bleak tusk]

Me telling somebody to model my focus because I have it sitting in my driveway and can get audio captures and all lol

[ashen flame]

Most charred intake of 1993

[latent ivy]

becauase there are 3d mice which allow 6 degrees of movement from basically a puck

[verbal fog]

i have like 4 other models to finish before i start on that lol, ill get to it eventually

[fiery acorn]

i have chronic tendinosis in both hands/wrists

[ashen flame]

I’m sorry but it sorta looks charred

But yeah it’s under the intake

[frank kelp]

fr tho it's like 2 poly
I love baking

[ashen flame]

So no worries there I guess.

[fiery acorn]

"yeah im using used kitchen oil as fuel, how did you know?"

[latent ivy]

ah interesting, I wonder how a 3d mouse would work for you then, since with that you dont have to move your arm around and stuff. its just like a small joystick

[verbal fog]

i think i would be pretty decent with lore-friendly cars because i suck at following blueprints exactly to make real cars

[ashen flame]

baking best

[latent ivy]

getting baked is great

[fiery acorn]

moving my arm is okay, moving my fingers/wrist isnt 😦

[ashen flame]

pastry do you use a keyboard?

[fiery acorn]

moderate your computer usage, youngsters, you really don't want to end up like me

[latent ivy]

are you able to grip and move your arm? because with the mouse that wuld work

[ashen flame]

This is very very stupid to ask. I’m wondering

[fiery acorn]

i do, just not for very long periods at a time

[latent ivy]

like its literally just a puck

[frank kelp]

we don't fap as much as you do

[latent ivy]

[bleak tusk]

Anyway I guess I'll start writing a UI app tutorial

Would it better for it to be in tutorial form? (steps) or docs form? (ie. references and short how-to guides)

[ashen flame]

!!!!!

[frank kelp]

[verbal fog]

for example, this is based on a kia stinger but it doesnt look like one except for body shape

[ashen flame]

he went too hard!

[fiery acorn]

i fap once a week at most now because of the excruciating pain it gives me 🙂

you went there

[latent ivy]

lets not get into that lmao

[bleak tusk]

Feels like a Buffalo out of GTA 5

[ashen flame]

The pain! Oh the pain

[verbal fog]

internal pain begins

[ashen flame]

Must be the worst form of pain

[fiery acorn]

guess how i ended up this way 🤡 i had a project similar to carp, so i came home from work (8h), worked on my project (4h) then played competitive dota/csgo (3h)

[ashen flame]

💀

[latent ivy]

gotta do em wrist stretches

[nimble valley]

me too i dont really do competitive

[bleak tusk]

This code is something I never want to touch again

[verbal fog]

ehhh

[bleak tusk]

But it needs fixing 💔

[fiery acorn]

yeah ive been doing physiotherapy for a few years now, i couldnt fucking hold a glass of water or do dishes

[latent ivy]

that speed is too raw

[verbal fog]

i kinda see it, but i also kinda dont

[fiery acorn]

yeah that made me wonder, why aren't you just using the existing beam functions?

they have functions for all the unit fuckery already

[bleak tusk]

Wdym?

[fiery acorn]

unit conversion etc

[bleak tusk]

If you mean my custom settings, it's because I wanted mine to be independent

Also I base my speed off airspeed+some weird whackery to make it work

[nimble valley]

chat died

[verbal fog]

(headphone warning)

[bleak tusk]

Probably a good thing

[verbal fog]

forgot this was loud lol

[bleak tusk]

Headphone warning as just experienced

[verbal fog]

ima edit it to put the warning in otherwise ima get yelled at lol

[nimble valley]

add bass

[latent ivy]

WHAT DID YOU SAY I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE RINGING

[verbal fog]

lmao

[bleak tusk]

🤣

[verbal fog]

i have a tacobell ad saved that is much louder lol

[latent ivy]

is it me after tacobell

[nimble valley]

tacobell fart

[verbal fog]

no its the tacobell bell but its majorly bass-boosted

[latent ivy]

dang, those fish boost everything

[verbal fog]

ill post it in #memes with a sound warning

[ashen flame]

Yes you after Taco Bell

[latent ivy]

that doesnt help

saying dead chat doesnt fix anything

[nimble valley]

bass bossted it

[verbal fog]

its quieter lol

ima move to general

[nimble valley]

it became distorted so yea................................................... lol

[bleak tusk]

I can't write tutorials but

[nimble valley]

that suzuki bike mod is a revelation

he made leaning dummy animation

we will soon make it better and have superbikes in beam

dirtbikes too take jumps

https://www.beamng.com/threads/suzuki-gsx-r-my2007-paid.85939/page-2#post-1449480

and its paid

another controversy.... and subsequent drama

[verbal fog]

you just casually ignored this lol

[nimble valley]

yea i saw it damn lol

looking past that he is trying to sell model he didnt make lmfao he actually has working leaning animation and dummy rider which is what was missing from bike mods and what we have been waiting for

[ashen flame]

doesn’t the crgz bike have that

[nimble valley]

link?

suzuki animation leans its knees in turns shifting the weight its great

[ashen flame]

Yamaha R6 I think it is

[nimble valley]

i dont think it even has animation

[ashen flame]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/yamaha-yzf-r6-motorcycle.74574/

[nimble valley]

this two points have been fixed

through lua programming

https://youtu.be/hx5N2F5BANE?t=84

it still needs alot of work though

[bleak tusk]

So, is electrics.wheelspeed in mph, kmph or some other weird unit? As it seems way off the real values the car/official tacho app are putting out
I also can't work out how Beam indicates what unit type the user is using

[nimble valley]

isnt it all SI?

so i think kmh

[bleak tusk]

SI?

[nimble valley]

SI-units

[bleak tusk]

It's lower than mph it seems when I logged wheelspeed and airspeed

https://www.nist.gov/pml/weights-and-measures/si-units-length this?

[nimble valley]

lower than mph?

The SI comprises a coherent system of units of measurement starting with seven base units, which are the second (symbol s, the unit of time), metre (m, length), kilogram (kg, mass), ampere (A, electric current), kelvin (K, thermodynamic temperature), mole (mol, amount of substance), and candela (cd, luminous intensity) ...

[bleak tusk]

It's a weird offset, like by the time the d-series was reading 10 mph, wheelspeed was only 6 or so

Hitting 100 mph and it was like 71 or something random, can't remember

[nimble valley]

hmmm ok weird i dont know of anything larger than mph

mach?

jk

The most common units of speed are metres per second (m/s), kilometres per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph). In a typical car journey the speed of the car will change. The distance divided by the time will calculate the average speed of the car.

[bleak tusk]

Could be m/s then?

[nimble valley]

10 mph i

[fiery acorn]

everything is meters in beam

you were converting m/s -> mph -> km/h (while rounding it all) weren't you?

[bleak tusk]

Roughly yeah

[fiery acorn]

thats why i suggested using beam's unit conversion functions instead

[bleak tusk]

I mean. I have no idea they existed

[fiery acorn]

yeah

that's usually the case with beam lua, it's not exactly... well documented 😬

[nimble valley]

love that emoji

[bleak tusk]

And the fact UI mods aren't lua

[fiery acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-michael-scott-grimace-gross-no-gif-8084888

[fiery acorn]

you can call lua from the ui though 🤔

[bleak tusk]

So honestly it's easier to just write a quick ->mph and ->kmph function in the JS

m/s to mph is just t*2.237

[bleak tusk]

Does anybody actually know what these do/what they mean?

replace: true,
restrict: 'EA',```
Would like to explain their meaning but idk

[near ruin]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/dynamic-dirt-mud-demonstration.85511/ huh

amazing

[dusk dragon]

Feel like we reach a new low every year. Now posts that support a guy that received death threats just because of 3.80€ is censored by the shitty part of the community. Shame.

[verbal fog]

that conversation has happened, dont instigate the drama again

[earnest vapor]

What if they were just 9 year old trolls

[nimble valley]

Jesus

[dusk dragon]

Except that this is new.
Like, people can be against paid mods. We know alas that people can be insulting and stuff. But now we also know that they report spam to mute people like me that try to defend modders and stuff.

[dusk dragon]

for me it's not only kids, there's a bunch of cringe teenagers that got the maturity level of 2 years old

[verbal fog]

if you learn to scroll up, that conversation already happened

[earnest vapor]

So if it's just a bunch of stupid trolls, why is it a big deal

[verbal fog]

tbh im surprised there are so many high-quality free mods

alot of them should be paid for what go into them

just be grateful the modder decided to make them free

[nimble valley]

I

[dusk dragon]

About censored posts ?

[verbal fog]

no about the whole paid mod thing

[dusk dragon]

Pretty sure that this Picnic mod will push more modders to make paid mods, which is not a bad thing if it allow more quality and more support to the modders.

[dusk dragon]

ah well I'm talking of the censorship part but I see

[bleak tusk]

Already seeing more paid mods

Like that bike where the dev doesn't even own the assets

[verbal fog]

good

well thats stupid, but other than that

[dusk dragon]

well that's trashy but yeah xD

[bleak tusk]

lol yeah

I have nothing against paid mods, but I do hope the majority of work stays somewhat accessible. But if it doesn't then it is what it is

I'll just have to add beamng mods into my budget lol

[dusk dragon]

Same

1-6€ for me is the good range for BeamNG Mods

[bleak tusk]

I also hope some day a modder will try offer commissions

Wouldn't mind overpaying for a custom car, heh

[verbal fog]

what about a community pole to what car they make next instead of privately making mods for one person

[dusk dragon]

Like,

car parts/upfit and stuff around 1/2€

whole car/vehicles around 3/5€

whole map around 4/6€

for example

[dusk dragon]

ah well sadly it ask so much time to make a car that you would have to pay a lot xD

[bleak tusk]

I've thrown it up that I'd love to a specific car to be made a few times and that I'd pay but nobody really wants to so yeah

[verbal fog]

most mod makers see that as begging

[dusk dragon]

well after it's understandable, having to work 3 months on the idea of someone else that don't really motivate you apart for the money is kind of boring

also why BeamNG modders often work alone, hard to find two or more people ready to work on the same project for weeks

with the same amount of motivation

[bleak tusk]

Art doesn't work like mods I guess lol

[verbal fog]

tbh i would make models for mods

but all the coding and jbeam is too complicated for me atm

• i dont have a gpu atm so i cant even test the mod if i did learn

[nimble valley]

Wtf on a russian site

Translated it

[dusk dragon]

well they should not be surprised that Russian are getting a bad reputation in the BeamNG community since a huge part of the shitty websites that stole mods are russian

[nimble valley]

Its all so ironic and poetic

paid modding is like wartime

Same energy almost and harshness

[verbal fog]

lets not bring up that

[nimble valley]

Yep

[dusk dragon]

Plus, Russia, because of it's USSR past is known to relatively badly apply copyright laws and stuff.

[nimble valley]

Agree lets not go there ever

[verbal fog]

A+ english lol

it sounded right in my head but once i typed it, it stopped sounding right

[dusk dragon]

well as a french it still sound right for me xDD

[verbal fog]

lol

FJ and me : bad english level

[verbal fog]

and thats sad for me because the only language i speak is english

[dusk dragon]

ah oof

well don't worry I still struggle from time to time with conjugation in French xD

[verbal fog]

btw i have some models semi-close to being completed, so if anyone that is decent at coding would like to waste their time to make it a proper mod when the models are done, hit me up

ill post them here most likely when they are done

[dusk dragon]

ah well I'm learning mapping right now so not really for me

[verbal fog]

since when

[bleak tusk]

I've offered to do guages and infotainment systems if I can help; think it was Finn that said he'd appreciate that which is neat

[verbal fog]

yeah i would have to model an interior first lol

still having trouble on the exterior rn

[dusk dragon]

you, i keep you in my pocket if needed on day xD

[bleak tusk]

Haha

I've never done one as I can't work out how - I thought maybe I could recode the FCV or the Bastion's infotainment screen but no idea where to even start. I can probably design the UI itself though

[dusk dragon]

yeah I guess, know nothing in UI

[verbal fog]

ima post this here for blender geeks to shit on me

(i know this is bad, i did it on purpose, im redoing it properly rn)

[bleak tusk]

My offer is more, I'll build the UI and some functionality if wanted

Tbh, I'm in no way perfect but want to offer something

[dusk dragon]

yeah sure, like every modder

[bleak tusk]

[alpine sedge]

Welcome to discord*

[tardy crater]

I am looking for a 1994-2001 Subaru Impreza GC8 Mod

Can pay money or reward for creators

[drowsy leaf]

Noone will make it

[latent ivy]

I may be a problem

A bug

[fiery acorn]

Chiisai is looking a bit older now :(

[fiery acorn]

@mental geode you might want something in between, imo. are you googling for real life vtec dyno results?

[mental geode]

My first try to make it realistic was based off Forza. 2nd Try was based off the F20C

[fiery acorn]

some graphs i found, stock and modded; as far as my understanding goes, a noticeable bump isn't really necessary in vtec, but you do want to see your power drop happen later in the rev range

forza is terrible for anything serious, their performance is 100% only balanced for gameplay, and any similarity to reality is just a coincidence

[mental geode]

At the moment the code is like that:
"torqueModIntake":[
["rpm", "torque"],
[0, 0],
[600, 0],
["$=$vtecStart - 100", 0]
["$=$vtecStart + 100", 50],
[19000, 0],
],
Meaning, that 100rpm after the VTEC kicks in, it reaches its max power and stays there. Or should I rather make it "develop" its power?

[fiery acorn]

oh yeah, you definitely should, that's going to be a pretty short bump

[mental geode]

That's basically this section in the torque curve

[fiery acorn]

read into VTEC a bit so you understand what it is and how it works, that kinda thing always helps with reaching a more realistic result in a mod

[fiery acorn]

yeah

[mental geode]

I know how it works, I am just practicing various ways ans seeing which is more realistic

[fiery acorn]

my guess would be that your engine needs to have an earlier power peak (simulating pre-VTEC power curve) and then you add VTEC on top (which moves the power peak later on)

[mental geode]

The problem: That isn't an engine.

It is a part I have created to universally work with every engine in every vehicle - modded or vanilla

And that is kinda what's limiting me

[fiery acorn]

ooh, i thought you were only creating an engine that had that VTEC part 😮

mb

[mental geode]

no problem

I have an Idea, give me a minute to code it

@fiery acorn How about that?

[fiery acorn]

certainly looks better to me yes

[mental geode]

Well, thanks for your help

[mental geode]

What I basically did was giving the VTEC a variable where it produces its max power

[latent ivy]

who can i make the speedometer to work ?

[nimble valley]

did you hide all gauges?

[latent ivy]

it s my first mod

now i have only the model of the car in blender

[nimble valley]

ah i get you now

i thought your speedo was not showing in gameplay HUD

[latent ivy]

no:

[nimble valley]

well shii i dont know how to make speedo work in blender

some needle animations and degree calculations? that was how we did it in older games

[latent ivy]

textures that appear in game like wood on dash need to be put in blender?

[nimble valley]

#modding-general

[bleak tusk]

Currently; my settings system uses local storage and saving keys to it. Does anybody have better recommendations for a settings system? The original docs mentioned some kind of support for a settings.json but I couldn't get that to function

🙃 ping?

[nimble valley]

sry i just want to help

but i dont know how.

the documentation isnt helping?

[bleak tusk]

Well it's outdated as hell

[nimble valley]

yea i know damn they really need to get someone to update it

[bleak tusk]

It does mention some kind of settings.json but I've had no luck in getting it to function

[nimble valley]

but update 0.25 has some juicy stuff i heard from one dev i talked to yesterday

[nimble valley]

what are you trying to do again?

[bleak tusk]

Save settings persistently

[nimble valley]

can you give example

hey wait! are you talking about saving like sound settings in game?

[bleak tusk]

.-. in a UI app

[nimble valley]

i have so long wanted to hit a button in game after having tweaked sound and it saves to the notepad automatically

its tiring going out of game and edit and go back in

[fiery acorn]

Just call lua to write json

[nimble valley]

not saying its a huge problem but

[bleak tusk]

Ya what now? Thought UI apps couldn't touch the filesystem and couldn't access stuff outside of their zip

I'm trying to make my ui app creation guide as good as I can

getSettings def. isn't a part of bngApi

[fiery acorn]

I haven't tried it hut I don't see a reason why you wouldnt be able to ask Lua to write json for you

[nimble valley]

guys i just want to say that you are geniuses for working with lua

[bleak tusk]

I don't work with lua

[nimble valley]

we just had some breakthrough with motorbike driver leaning to the sides to shift the weight it amazes me

[bleak tusk]

I'm an idiot who works in javascript

[fiery acorn]

It's really not that hard, programming is not as scary as it looks

[nimble valley]

we finally can come closer to having dirt bikes in beamng now....

[bleak tusk]

The (outdated) docs say to require bngApp then call getSettings and saveSettings

bngApi doesn't have it for sure

[nimble valley]

i wonder if the same leaning mechanism applies on dirt bikes or it has to stand upright also?

[bleak tusk]

2nd line is all the class methods bngApi has which is cool

engineLua lets you run lua code

Ie. my mod yoinks some code that does this

Anyway the guide currently:

• explains the basics of a UI app (app.js, app.json, app.png)
• shows you how to make a basic app
• improve it by splitting up the HTML, splitting up the CSS and adding a preview image
• add more features: persistent settings (wip), sounds and potentially going to look into how useful angular 'factories' are

Any more "features" the guide should cover adding?

I might also write up a section with handy code snippets like converting m/s and other values to different values, checking if the game is paused and checking if a player is in a vehicle or not

[smoky skiff]

Okay, so this probably sounds dumb because I have no beam modding knowledge, but how hard would it be for a new mod creator to make the hitch for this? (I don't want to make the trailer)

[near ruin]

ah yes the good old beetle tow hitch

[earnest vapor]

You aren't gonna be towing much lmao

[devout solstice]

find a node you want to make a hitch, and just add one line called "couplertag:name here"

[smoky skiff]

While that definitely sounds easy, how hard would it be to actually put a visible hitch there?

[devout solstice]

you have to model it

[earnest vapor]

You could probably just steal the regular tow hitch model

[smoky skiff]

Alright. I guess I shall see what I can do. I do have some experience with 3d modeling.

[smoky skiff]

I was thinking this or 5th wheel honestly.

[manic rapids]

Is there any mod out there that makes cars roll coal ? and I'm not looking for the ones that change particle density, but rather something that changes smoke texture

[eager knot]

Does anyone know of a 2012 Mercedes C 300
https://images.app.goo.gl/KuDecipwcP4PCcLL8

[drowsy leaf]

no and no
no rolling coal mod nor 2012 merc

[eager knot]

What

[drowsy leaf]

the mod you want doesnt exist

[ashen flame]

^

W204? Yeah doesnt exist on here

[latent ivy]

this bus wouldn't be bad as a mod for BeamNG
P.s and if you are wondering what is the VanHool Exqui.City bus?

[drowsy leaf]

ok

[latent ivy]

yeah i cant speak english my birth language is French sorry

[fiery acorn]

6x6 has it

[manic rapids]

this one ? cause it doesn't seem like it

[fiery acorn]

yes

huh maybe he didnt include it there then, carp's version has it

[manic rapids]

you know how I could find it?

[fiery acorn]

i meant that you were looking at the right thing

i guess he didn't add it to the repo version, only to our server

[manic rapids]

server name?

[latent ivy]

i still have the og 6x6 d-series in my mods. it still works for some reason but no engine noise and the drivetrain seems to work like magic.

[manic rapids]

can you send it me pls?

[latent ivy]

sure, let me try and find it

it works best with 18.4. where it has sounds and stuff

[onyx widget]

Somebody know what happened to "multimod cvt" mod and automatic gearboxes shiftlogic mod?

[drowsy leaf]

dont link it dumbass

[latent ivy]

[latent ivy]

oh oops sorry

[signal lotus]

You again linked it 💀

[latent ivy]

posting it with the link visible counts

[signal lotus]

And also i see you are trying to download it

Because sharemods is opened on next page

[latent ivy]

Yep and is really the Picnic mod

[signal lotus]

Than why the you downloaded it

You are supporting these leakers by that

[drowsy leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/caught-in-5000k-gif-20880260

[glad jetty]

are there any good map mods i can download?

[latent ivy]

so when i have money i paid the mod legaly and i go delete the leak

[drowsy leaf]

dont use leaked for a start

[latent ivy]

yep you have right i breaked the rule N°2 if the Admins want to ban me i accept the sanction

[cloud pike]

Just don't share links that are related to piracy in any way, and as you said please do buy the mod to support the creator, it's months of work they put into it

[latent ivy]

ok i never share again a link i promise 😒 🤚

[glad jetty]

hold up, does BeamNG actually have payware mods?

[drowsy leaf]

yes

[signal lotus]

Yes

as almost every game

[cloud pike]

Yeah, it's the artist's decision and it really isn't just limited to this game either

[latent ivy]

for example the future Coach mod of Theo for hasard

[cloud pike]

it's not as easy to make things in this game as it might be for gta for example

[latent ivy]

hey you have right

[drowsy leaf]

theo said it wasnt paid

[signal lotus]

So its released?

[latent ivy]

ah yes you have right

Is euans bmw f80 m3 patron mod worth it?

[drowsy leaf]

No

[nimble valley]

Ok

[drowsy leaf]

Don't ever buy meshslaps in Patreon

[nimble valley]

How bad is it?

[drowsy leaf]

They are most likely stolen models and the creator is profiting off of stolen models

[nimble valley]

Dont have to tell me i just wanted to make sure

I never buy mods

[earnest vapor]

Well, he made an Aventador on the forums, try that to see the quality
He also got banned, so...

[drowsy leaf]

The quality is good ish

[nimble valley]

Well sometimes if its exceptional but yet to come across such mod

[drowsy leaf]

Cuz i edited the jbeam for him

[nimble valley]

How do you like the ariel atom v8 sound mod i made?

[drowsy leaf]

Not on the beamer tho

Havent seen it

[nimble valley]

Euan still refuses to fix the scale and mass?

[drowsy leaf]

Underage btw

[nimble valley]

underage oh snap i didnt know

[drowsy leaf]

Idk

[nimble valley]

how old is he?

[drowsy leaf]

15

Tho 16 soon I think
I think

[nimble valley]

ok

f450 ford is it shit?

By euan

we already have the d series so i dont see the point

[drowsy leaf]

I don't know
I don't buy Patreon mods

[nimble valley]

not unless he has access to v8 diesel sounds powerstroke

If not then hes wasting his time

Why dont microsoft with all its gazillions properly record cars its weird. To hell with these big companies they are ripping us off.

[drowsy leaf]

Don't
Start
Engine
Sound
Discussions

[nimble valley]

Yea i know its moronic

[ashen flame]

want good sounds? go play gran turismo or AC

[drowsy leaf]

Yes

[nimble valley]

Good idea but i dont like not being able to mod it but still gt7 and gt sport sound the best these days yea. Assetto Corsa i disagree.

[ashen flame]

Modern forza demographic is too far gone to care about the sounds

Not even older forza games had accurate sounds

[nimble valley]

we need to find a younger company

[drowsy leaf]

You*

[nimble valley]

Yea i know

[ashen flame]

they dont have as much budget as microsoft or polyphony

[drowsy leaf]

Noone else cares about perfection in sounds

[nimble valley]

Me neither

[ashen flame]

I Swear Turn10/playground's car sounds are usually based upon modded cars

and not stock consistently, probably stubborn owners of those rare cars

[nimble valley]

Yea i know it sucks

[bleak tusk]

Sounds are never perfect, it's why mods exist

[verbal fog]

tbh i dont have a problem with vanilla sounds

i was a little disappointed with the bastion reusing sounds tho

the v6 sound coming out a car that looks like the bastion is horrible

and the reused V8 and blinker sounds

[nimble valley]

The v8 beamng sound is most likely fords 5.4 triton

but the sound dev TDK told me hr first wants to figure out the sound technology before implementing new engine sounds

[royal coral]

beamng crash pass

[nimble valley]

Dirtbikes coming soon to beamng

[verbal fog]

proof?

[nimble valley]

Tony on the forums

read comments under suzuki bike mod

dummy leaning animations have already been done and soon he will make standing dummy leaning up down motion like dirt bike racing

we will be able to do jumps in utah escape police

[earnest vapor]

Assuming we're willing to pay for his stolen model

[royal coral]

and i will able to crash it to my etk

[nimble valley]

Yes

[royal coral]

what mod?

[nimble valley]

Suzuki 2007

[royal coral]

btw, should i pay for an american motorbike mod?

[verbal fog]

depends

[nimble valley]

Im not right person

[royal coral]

i want something new, cars are boring

[nimble valley]

Dirtbike leaning jumping animation with real dirtbike 2 stroke 4 stroke sounds hehe

addicting once more

[nimble valley]

Its just that the car mods arent that good

[verbal fog]

what if? 🤔

i havent seen any atv mods

[nimble valley]

yea why hasnt anyone made atv

Oh frick the steeeing

the steering is f ke d

[royal coral]

so, should i pay for that?

[verbal fog]

ehh, just change the axis that it rotates from

[nimble valley]

Oh yea wtf why hasnt anyone

[nimble valley]

I dont know just do what everyone else does

[verbal fog]

just have the steering rotation be angled like the bus's steering wheel, then rotate the handle bars to match

[nimble valley]

Genius

[verbal fog]

i have no clue how to do said thing, but thats how i would imagine it would be done

[nimble valley]

Yea force it to work

then it will eventually

[verbal fog]

the throttle might be a pain cuz its a thumb push on the handlebars

[nimble valley]

Use gamepad

I will

[nimble valley]

Yea its not like a car

[verbal fog]

ik, ive ridden one

[nimble valley]

Goddamn it we will have sweet race atv jumps and dirtbike police chases

[verbal fog]

that is, if i can make it work properly

i can model it no problem, but making it work in beam is a whole other story

[verbal fog]

that could be cool too

[nimble valley]

Hell yes

[tranquil marsh]

Someone made one a long time ago I think

[verbal fog]

i just need to learn how to make sharp lines that actually look good

im not the best at blender, but im sure i could model it

[tranquil marsh]

Why what's wrong with your current ones

[verbal fog]

i just need to learn how to properly use edge split

[tranquil marsh]

You can set the angle to 65 and then if you want to make smthn sharp, use mark sharp

There's a nicer way of doing lines but if you're not good yet, I'd try Mark sharp

[verbal fog]

ill make sure to remember that

but someone else will have to be the one that makes it a working mod, since im just a modeler atm

coding just confuses me too much

[nimble valley]

Wtf the suzuki has been removed

[tranquil marsh]

I've only recently enough started to jbeam stuff

[verbal fog]

alr

[tranquil marsh]

No where near good enough to make that tho

[verbal fog]

ill post it here when its done to see if anyone wants to take up the challenge

[tranquil marsh]

I only make exhausts atm but I'm moving to body parts soon I'd say

[verbal fog]

when the model is done*

[nimble valley]

You will succeed

Race atv will come to beamng

[verbal fog]

normal atv first

and that will be the guinea pig for if it will work or not

[nimble valley]

Ok

[nimble valley]

Wherr get sounds

Mx vs atv ps2

[verbal fog]

probably use piccolina as a placeholder

[nimble valley]

Moto gp pc

[verbal fog]

if i learn fmod i might tweak it a bit

[nimble valley]

I cant wait

[nimble valley]

It will work its just a car with pivoted steering

but i say use gamepad for bikes because pedals is weird then.

also wheel doesnt make sense then

[verbal fog]

ive used my wheel before when riding bikes in a game lol

[wispy fog]

any mods that go good with the Atlanto map?

and mods for roleplay would be nice too

[vague meteor]

Name idea -Namgung Balise (fourth gen)

[signal lotus]

He didn't even started modeling and you are already suggesting name

[vague meteor]

I can only do that xD Names and development stories

[onyx widget]

First I would need some short tutorial videos

[latent ivy]

hum is not a suggestion it's deduction

[latent ivy]

does anyone know whats the issue here? It still doesnt work in game

[nimble valley]

where does one get this ?

that looks fantastic this old version of the gavril d ser

thats it thanks

[royal coral]

1. do not beg
2. both are still wip

[royal coral]

i just bought it

[nimble valley]

american chopper

[royal coral]

yes, now i just need to wait for tony's respond

[nimble valley]

ask tony about the dirt bike and the suzuki 2007 superbike

Tony Soprano

[royal coral]

how to ask him politely? dm me

[royal coral]

Is it GSXR?

[brazen scarab]

me waiting for someone to make an international map instead of more Murica maps, no offense but I would really like to see like more international maps

[royal coral]

Make it by yourself bro, don't wait. most of beamng map modders are american

[brazen scarab]

I don't even have beamng

[nimble valley]

make em big

lately we only have microscopic maps

[royal coral]

yes, large maps are hard and need months to make them

[nimble valley]

we should fund it then

[royal coral]

yes, ofc

[latent ivy]

whats with the trend of mods going paid i dont think thats a good idea something like the picnic sure but now every new thing is going paid

[dense portal]

That’s not true

Only a couple creators have realised they should make their mods paid after this, it’s just coincidence that most creators decided months back and are now releasing their mods

[latent ivy]

oh

[dense portal]

I’m still 50/50 on if my next mod will be paid

[latent ivy]

you talk about the VanHool Like Coach ?

[dense portal]

yeah

[latent ivy]

If the mod is paid post the mod on Ko-Fi it's not post the mod on the repsitory (under a fictive name for sure) <--- it's a advice man)

[dense ridge]

actual mod?

[nimble valley]

when people say jbeam is spiking what do they mean? Dont real cars spike when crash?

they have sharp edges after crash

can you show example of spiking

[nimble valley]

i hate to say it but it looks believeable

[nimble valley]

yea that one is ridiculous

but thats a d series? base game car so why spike?

[verbal fog]

how

[nimble valley]

it just does

[verbal fog]

you must be high

[drowsy leaf]

The tires in beam when poked too hard do that

[nimble valley]

not this again

[near ruin]

.

Really tho in some cases that does not look normal, but faster crashes like that aren't going to look pretty

[nimble valley]

that white car is crushed in a believable way to me

is the crumbled parts not realistic?

maybe some metal is bent in a weird way but i dunno thats more lack of count of nodes and beams rather than spiking to me

[verbal fog]

it looks like a low quality meshslap, thats what it looks like

[near ruin]

Look at the bastion for example since its a newer vehicle.

[nimble valley]

yea this is very believable

[near ruin]

look at the hood even

how textures/poly's phase through eachother

[nimble valley]

this happens in real life doesnt it?

[onyx dirge]

@nimble valley A lot of lower quality mods re-use existing physics shapes, or poorly edit physics shapes to fit the model. They also use higher polygon models on top of this which compounds the issue.

The mismatching of the visuals and physics shape causes spikes as the game tries to match up the physics with the visuals.

[nimble valley]

sharp edges everywhere aftermath of a car crash is utterly horrific

[drowsy leaf]

Yeah but that happens when you purposely break it

[ashen flame]

tires always spike

[near ruin]

That wasn't purposly I slammed it into a wall

[verbal fog]

here is a real-world application of the spike thing

[ashen flame]

except its not like a rubber band

[drowsy leaf]

But not that much

Tire spiking is a slightly different issue. For some reason sometimes the mesh doesn't break, and stays attached to physics points that have broken off.

[nimble valley]

why am i satisfied with this level of crashes?

[ashen flame]

Tires are flawed

[drowsy leaf]

Because your standards are shid

[verbal fog]

he is more picky about vehicle sounds

[drowsy leaf]

No

[nimble valley]

yea it crashes good

[drowsy leaf]

My standards are what they should be

[nimble valley]

yea you are right

[rocky heart]

BC5 Signed or Unsigned for Paint.net and normal maps?

[ashen flame]

unsigned i assume

[drowsy leaf]

That happens if the crash is too hard you cant compare to the first pic

[nimble valley]

meshlaps are unacceptable that is what you are saying @drowsy leaf

[near ruin]

yeah that's why I demonstrated with it and spiking

[nimble valley]

not that all spikes are bad

[drowsy leaf]

Bad meshslaps *

[near ruin]

somewhere I mentioned

[nimble valley]

how many polys is it?

[verbal fog]

iirc its in the top 3 highest poly of all the beam cars

[near ruin]

Its the high poly's doing the spiking @latent ivy

[verbal fog]

up there with the bus and fcv

[drowsy leaf]

I don't have an issue with good meshslps
But my definition of good meshslaps is really edited jbeam with good textures and not stock weight

[near ruin]

well those are mods so

they're going to be good or bad

the good thing is over time spiking's been fixed from what ive seen

[nimble valley]

to me a good car is jbeam that matches weight of 3d and fills it up and driving feel is realistic with good planted road feel

and ofc all the rest

its so hard to make a good mod

especially one that makes a real car driver go wow this feels like my car

I worked with a dodge challenger owner and we achieved some satisfying results

[drowsy leaf]

Well
Then you want to go over to asseto Corsa

[nimble valley]

with the bastion he told me it feels right

why is beamng not for me?

why do you insist on this?

[drowsy leaf]

You want realism
You want good measurements
You want good driving
Beamng had 1 of em
Usually irl cars in beam are not correct size
And they don't drive that good

[near ruin]

It is something however tho and it does give you the idea

[nimble valley]

thats modders fault not games fault

[polar cedar]

beamng has all that but meshslaps dont

[nimble valley]

it has all 3

[drowsy leaf]

Yes

[nimble valley]

just not utilized correctly yet by modders according to you

[drowsy leaf]

Because the modders don't cater to your needs

[polar cedar]

if you want real cars you should likely go to assetto but if you dont mind lore friendly then beamng is for you

[near ruin]

some of the mesh laps I seen feel like someone wanted that vehicle in game to play with so they throw on the jbeam of the car they like destroying the most

[nimble valley]

yea its misguided

[nimble valley]

yes i get you but i like both equally

[near ruin]

slaps D-Series JBeam onto Toyota Tundra and calls it a day

[nimble valley]

lore friendly can be realistic. A bmw isnt real its just letters to form a name founded in early 1900s

[nimble valley]

i tried that in 2017 didnt work it just doesnt feel right i tried so hard to like it but it just didnt click. With beamng i tried before tire update and uninstalled it but then someone told me about tire update and i tried it again and i was blown away.

[onyx dirge]

slaps solid axle vehicle onto a jbeam with independent suspension
moves the wheels forcibly so they deform suspension parts on spawn
releases it
Perfection

[drowsy leaf]

Well if you are in this community please stfu about engine sounds and mods being millimeters off

[nimble valley]

yea some modders are jokers

[polar cedar]

moment

[onyx dirge]

Wait I think I have one of the best meshslaps saved on one of my devices

[verbal fog]

i thought this was an edited image at first, then i realized it was beam

[nimble valley]

how do these garbage mods make their way to our mouse download buttons? i have to ask

[near ruin]

Slaps mod
Now this bad boy has some MAJOR spiking, if you're into that kind of stuff that is

[nimble valley]

some kid slaps a 3d model onto a piccolina and we are here all talking about it so how does this happen

[polar cedar]

people just download them because oOOO real car

[verbal fog]

mans just exposed what i was gunna do

[nimble valley]

can you blame them i guess

[polar cedar]

idk why they dont care how it looks or crashes its just so confusing to me

[nimble valley]

a real car has been brainwashed into us the past century

[near ruin]

Swear I've seen that one from 2fast

[drowsy leaf]

This was an entire car model slapped only in the d series cab

[nimble valley]

its a spectrum and we seem to have it all ranging from garbage like that alien car mod all the way up to picnics and whatnot

[nimble valley]

xD

[verbal fog]

i wanna meshslap a bus onto the pigeon frame

[nimble valley]

he is in love with that shid mod

[drowsy leaf]

No
Is that a I series slapped onto a bus

[nimble valley]

i mean we can all tell he was obiviously joking

[drowsy leaf]

Stiv r34/supra

[near ruin]

Basically how most mesh laps turn out tho ngl

[nimble valley]

or maybe not maybe it was some 7 year old kid who really really wanted a bus in beamng a european bus not shid wentward

[near ruin]

may as well be that way

[nimble valley]

and he miraculousy has some skills in blender to do this fricking thing

[onyx dirge]

I'm pretty sure this was an actual attempt by a younger forum member just really wanting the model in-game
It was a couple years back so I don't exactly remember, the thread was removed within 48h

[nimble valley]

which then makes its way to our computer screens to piss us all off

[drowsy leaf]

Underage ???

[verbal fog]

its funny tho

[polar cedar]

reminds me of the grand marshal motorbike, cant find the image for it anymore

[nimble valley]

mclaren covet xD

[verbal fog]

if you look at the image of a bus meshslapped onto an i-series and dont laugh, somethings wrong with you

[nimble valley]

nobody is coming to help you if you dont put in effort you will just get scammed

and end up downloading piccolina scania bus

[near ruin]

Somethings bothering me about that audi. Scale wise

[verbal fog]

bolide, 800?, bolide, bolide, bolide

[nimble valley]

and people poo on me for that

scale is important

[near ruin]

If thats actual scale I did not know the other cars were that small, excluding the raven

[polar cedar]

the raven is just for scale

[near ruin]

ah

[verbal fog]

i wanna do something like this just to make people mad

[polar cedar]

theyre all clearly super incorrectly scaled

[nimble valley]

some guy on the beamng forums absolutely poo pood on the raven he showed no mercy calling it a mod made by a sleepy kid or i forgot what he said it was brutal

[onyx dirge]

I really wanted a school bus in game like 6-7 years ago and meshslapped it onto a cube jbeam lol

[nimble valley]

well... where do you want to draw the line sir?

[near ruin]

honestly i've never seen two of them side by side irl I just knew something was off with the audi since it was much larger

[onyx dirge]

Fast forward 4-5 years and I accomplished it properly 😛

[nimble valley]

they are all the same size...... someone been using etk800 jbeam for all of them

i dont remember 1 mm but i did once say 130 mm off

[drowsy leaf]

What when

Like
Literaly a cube

[nimble valley]

we found him

[drowsy leaf]

Did it even move????¿

[onyx dirge]

A cube + 1 node off each corner to make 4 'axles'
it moved via thrusters

[nimble valley]

agree to disagree

[drowsy leaf]

So no wheels ?

[near ruin]

megamind

[verbal fog]

this creation needs to return

[onyx dirge]

I have a video, hold on

[nimble valley]

if the sky is the limit then you want to go as high as you can

[onyx dirge]

May 2015

[earnest vapor]

[near ruin]

bandicam OG

[drowsy leaf]

Literaly no jbeam

[ashen flame]

swag bus

[onyx dirge]

360p, cube jbeam with no suspension, bandicam, shitposty music
making beamng shitposts before it was cool

[drowsy leaf]

Frfr

[nimble valley]

that has to be a joke

[ashen flame]

how the fuck can you have no jbeam lmfao

[onyx dirge]

YAMM

Lol with BeamNG there actually is nothing stopping you from implementing traditional vehicle physics at this point
That .. sounds like a fun project lol

[near ruin]

Anyone remember the H-Cube

https://www.beamng.com/threads/hcube.9273/

outdated sadly but indestructable moving cube

[bleak tusk]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/beam-advisor.22346/

[bleak tusk]

I'm sorry lol

[coarse leaf]

im just going to put a idea down

a drivable wheel

[nimble valley]

Car wheel?

[ashen flame]

Steering Wheels

[hollow hazel]

Can someone make a damage price UI app. Like where the UI tells you how much the damage to your car would cost

I think that would be super cool

[royal coral]

old russian mods be like

[muted yacht]

Does anyone have a good rv mod?(over than the Fleetwood I have that one)

[earnest idol]

[near ruin]

Use the ingame repository or download them from the official website
