[tawny knoll]

is there anyone here who can help me learn how to jbeam something?

[gusty cedar]

Check out #mods-faq first

Otherwise, there are probably enough videos on youtube to show how to make a jbeam

[devout cargo]

Is the internal name of the driver and passenger airbag the exact same?

{
　"airbag":{ ←here!
　　"information": {
　　　"authors": "sdfsdf",
　　　"name": "Driver Airbag",
},
"slotType" : "etk800_mod",
"slots"：[

You've got to change that and keep them completely unique for that specific parts!

middle mouse scrolling wheel click(or a normal click) and then shift + middle mouse scrolling wheel click on wherever you want to select something completely ignoring the lines!

It's recommended to take a screenshot or paste this solution so you can remember exactly what to do!(only if it works though!)

[gusty cedar]

How do i get "navgraphPath"? It's a table, but i cant figure out where i can get a table value.

Found it; "Stored AI Path"

Wait no.

Got it.

[ember cliff]

brooo this is like my main problem

[dry cargo]

such a stupid mistake. I simply ported the jbeam as a base and forgot to change it, thanks!

[scarlet cedar]

group should be ["roamer_body"] not roamer body short

[dry cargo]

any way to get the jbeam be more stable?

[tacit halo]

jbeam what
you are missing the entire frame chassis engine....

if you want just a shell thats easy but its quite usless without the rest

[gleaming cipher]

Once we get everything done. I need someone to do it

[tacit halo]

oh so you also want whoever you pay for to do that

[gleaming cipher]

Yes I'll pay them to do it for me. Cause I know it's time consuming

[distant pendant]

i've been down that road, no one is going to do it for chump change and don't expect a 100 dollars to cover it
more than likely you are going to have to learn to do it yourself

[gleaming cipher]

I can't learn how to do it

[tacit halo]

uh so basically youd be looking at 5 figures worth of money then

[gleaming cipher]

I tried and tried and tried. I need someone to do it for me

[gleaming cipher]

What how the hell

[distant pendant]

have you tried the box tutorial?

that's how i learned

[gleaming cipher]

No one else has ever asked for 300+

[gleaming cipher]

I don't get how it works

[distant pendant]

now if i can figure out uv maps i can get some progress really going!
need dedicated weekend for that.

[gleaming cipher]

I have never seen someone charge so much for coding. Definitely for beam

[distant pendant]

have you had someone jbeam for you before?

[gleaming cipher]

Yes

He's busy with his own projects an tho he has good prices. I don't wanna overwhelm him

[tacit halo]

you would be paying someone to :
model a chassis, interior and engine, which could take around 1-2 months
then you would want it to also have textures which proably takes a few weeks
youd also need someone thats basically an engineer since suspensions are SO hard to code in beam you basically need to be an engineer to make suspensions
then youd also have to have someone jbeam it which could take another month or so
youd be paying someone for 4-6 months of work

[gleaming cipher]

I only need Jbeam to put it in game

[distant pendant]

what jbeam do you need?

[gleaming cipher]

I have the guy who made the body's doing everything else

[tacit halo]

oh uh then yeah that would be like
200-500€

[distant pendant]

do you need wheel jbeams, suspension jbeams, body jbeams, interior jbeams, bumper jbeams, light jbeams, dash jbeams

[gleaming cipher]

I didn't do anything on them. I'm asking for a buddy

Wheel, suspension, body, bumper, hood

[tacit halo]

suspension is expensive

[distant pendant]

so you just wanna provide mesh and have someone else do all the work lol

[tacit halo]

yeah

[gleaming cipher]

When the guy actually finishs the chassis an stuff

[tacit halo]

or alternatively you could just https://www.beamng.com/threads/gen-6-nascar-stock-car.79631/

[gleaming cipher]

Can't use that

[tacit halo]

why

[distant pendant]

also there is already a few late model, street stock, modified mods out

[gleaming cipher]

Well first it's not mine. An he probably isn't gonna give anyone permission

[tacit halo]

pay?

you can probably pay him a bunch to licence it

[gleaming cipher]

Modified mod leaked. Street stock is hella old. Late model don't work

[gleaming cipher]

Why waste money on that. Anyhow.

[distant pendant]

they all worked the other day when i was using them

[tacit halo]

why waste money on making it again

[gleaming cipher]

I think I'll Just have the guy who I do my Jbeam

Probably the best opt

[distant pendant]

if you wanna make mods, your gonna have to learn

[gleaming cipher]

I'll pay him

[thin hare]

hey guys
how do i change the turn signal sound?

[warm sphinx]

I assume by this you mean engine Jbeam, suspension jbeam, tires and all of it? Basically you only have the model?

At that point I’d expect around 1,000$ if not more for quality work.

It will take minimum 100 hours to get everything right, test it all and then go back and edit and edit again based on testing.

As Lichi said it would be around 6 months of work minimum.

My suggestion would be to try and learn everything you can and get the ball rolling and find others who are passionate about getting a good oval racing car into the game

[gleaming cipher]

i never said the body is done. im askin this for the guy who made it.

[warm sphinx]

So nothing is done?

[gleaming cipher]

hes still workin on the chassis

i think the body is done but nothing else is rn

[warm sphinx]

Gotcha. But you have a guy modeling everything else it’s just not done yet?

[gleaming cipher]

@jaunty cave made the bodys

its his work

everything is his, im just asking for him.

i just want him to have a idea. what people charge

[warm sphinx]

But the 3D model is/will be all there? And you’re just looking for someone to do all of the coding?

[gleaming cipher]

im just looking for someone to do the coding

yes

[warm sphinx]

Yeah I’d expect no less than 1,000$ USD then for everything.

Possibly more depending on the quality and 1:1 realism you expect

[gleaming cipher]

oh boy

[warm sphinx]

And if there are multiple engines, chassis, etc. (late model vs super late model for example) then expect more.

Openables and interactables is another thing too if you want to be able to open the hood or interact with anything on the inside like ignition switches.

And some people can add liveries on top of this but again the more you add the more you pay.

So if you want a true top notch top of the line mod it could probably run up to 2,000$ for everything.

But I’d venture from my estimates and everything else I’ve seen that it’s around 1,000 baseline.

[gleaming cipher]

holy shit

[warm sphinx]

And this is for a fairly standard car which can borrow some jbeam and edit it from a car in game. If someone were to commission something like an F1 car I imagine it would be allot more because EVERYTHING would need to be bespoke

[gleaming cipher]

yea. ik theres a old gen super late model mod. but idk if that guy is active anymore nor do i know how to get in contact with him. Cause id think his would be a base for the new gen bodys

[jaunty cave]

?

[gleaming cipher]

you made the bodys so

i just asked to help. idk

[warm sphinx]

If it has a page on the forums contact him there. That or the Gen6 mod creator. Might be a good starting platform if they are willing to share

[gleaming cipher]

i tried there an dms for the SLM guy

[clever edge]

Is the DFA pack fixed yet, or no?

[merry crystal]

Anyone know how to fix this problem with the 'no texture' dark parts to the body pannels? For some reason theres nothing in advanced properties

[distant pendant]

because it's not uv mapped

[summer vault]

most likely you are calling for a texture on some layer that the game is failing to find

[distant pendant]

do you want it skinnable or just colorable?

[merry crystal]

I want it so there arent those dark parts. Im not trying to add skins these are just new parts I added to the mod

[merry crystal]

what?

[distant pendant]

you need the /nullcolormaskR.dds on the base color

vehicles/common/nullcolormaskR.dds

that's the way @tacit halo told me to do it

[tacit halo]

check if theres other layers that do have missing textures

[merry crystal]

Where could i find this texture?

[merry crystal]

In blender or material editor?

[tacit halo]

material editor

[tacit halo]

read a literal message down

[summer vault]

you dont get a ‘no texture’ error without having a texture defined somewhere that cannot be loaded in for one reason or another

[merry crystal]

Nah this didnt fix it

[distant pendant]

is it based on another car?

[merry crystal]

yeah most likely its not my mod from scratch so idk exactly what but ill ask the original creator

[distant pendant]

did you setup the uv map for the added parts?

seems like it's mis aligned uv, i'm not to skilled in this area but when I had same issue it was do to the uv map

[merry crystal]

I dont think the car has a proper uv tho, this is what the uv looks like in blender for the hood that is causing problems ingame

[merry crystal]

you had parts that said no texture but still had paint?

[distant pendant]

whats the texture name assigned to the part?

in blender

[summer vault]

what does your console say br

itll show which texture it cant find

[distant pendant]

is that the same name as the regular bodys texture?
also ^ what node said bring up console

[merry crystal]

yes

[distant pendant]

show what console says

[urban chasm]

i making a diesel engine for the pickup but i can't figure out how to get the compression brake from the t series working on it any ideas?

[merry crystal]

Im guessing it could be this?

[summer vault]

yes

[distant pendant]

this is above my level of knowledge at this point

[summer vault]

it means youre missing those textures
or the names are misspelled
so its giving you a no texture warning

[merry crystal]

Ive got both main_p.png & main_m.png in the mod file

So im guessing ive got to add both of these in material editor somehow?

[warm sphinx]

What are the odds it used the pre remaster 200bx in some shape or form?

[merry crystal]

idk

thats what im tryna find out from the original creator

[distant pendant]

could it be because its 3096x3096, i've never seen demisions like this

[warm sphinx]

Oh yeah that’s probably it. Good catch

[distant pendant]

but why is it 3096 first of all

[tepid tartan]

It is because it's 3096

All textures must be divisible by the power of 2 or something iirc

[distant pendant]

yeah that's what i was getting at power of 2

1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096

@merry crystal

[tired mason]

You mean 2048 and 4096 for the last 2?

[summer vault]

480 and 720 arent powers of 2 either

[distant pendant]

Ah i am idiot

[tepid tartan]

"There are a few possible causes, however the most common ones are a missing texture file or a resolution that isn’t a power of 2." As per beamng documentation. Meaning 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 etc. I miss spoke when I said divisible. My fault.

[limpid marsh]

Anyone willing to help me how to use blender? Like nearly every single tutorial i watched doesnt make sense for me i speak english quite well and national language is polish so if anyobody wants to help me DM me! (Ill expleain why i need help in DM's)

[distant pendant]

The blender encylopedia is what i used to learn

Took me 8 weeks now im pretty efficient

[limpid marsh]

Ye but issue

im broke

and kinda in debt because my car broke down and had to borrow money

[tepid tartan]

YouTube my dawg

You don't need to pay for any courses

Just search what you wish to learn click go and watch/work along what your watching.

[limpid marsh]

dude i tried many tutorial and i dont get it ima a type of person that NEEDS someone to explain to me and teach me

thats the issue like i can follow the tutorial do it but i still wont get it

[tepid tartan]

Right which is where doing it multiple times over and over until things stick is key

One video isn't going to get you anywhere.

Learning all of blender is like learning a second subject in school.

You have to dedicate time and effort repeatedly doing some things that seem meaningless to get a good solid understanding.

At least that was the key for me.

[gleaming cipher]

We both have the same issue. No one wants to help us. An just directs us to YouTube or the BeamNG docs.

[limpid marsh]

yup

thats what im talking about like i NEED a "teacher"

[gleaming cipher]

Fr

[tepid tartan]

It's not about no one wanting to help you. It's about being to lazy to help yourself.

[gleaming cipher]

Not everyone learns the same. Like I can't learn by reading. I gotta have someone walk me through how to do something

[distant pendant]

it's not a matter of helping
I am not a tutorial/ reader learner at all. I suffer from extreme adhd.
it's not about reading or doing a tutorial 1 time.
you must do it several times each time you'll pick up somethign that retains.
You wont learn blender in a week i promise you that.

[tepid tartan]

This heavily

Trust me I am in the same boat. I spent hours on end every day researching watching and doing repeatedly over and over.

[distant pendant]

right now i'm on my 5th week trying to learn uv maps for beamng, and i still feel like i have 0 knowledge on it lol

[tepid tartan]

I am primarily inchrage of uv mapping/texture for my team and have been doing it for 4 ish months now and STILL have those moments LOL

[distant pendant]

makes me wanna bash my head in lol

[tepid tartan]

Genuinely the most annoying shit ever.

I've been making my kit line up with default skin uv for bx and that has made me wanna quit more than finish it but, I will finish it Lol

[dry cargo]

is there anyway to make rod knock louder

[distant pendant]

Drive it longer

[gleaming cipher]

Full send or don't have BeamNG

[limpid cargo]

Working on a lua mod, brushing up user experience now that my core functionality is there. What's the best way to notify the user about events? I'm thinking the system that makes you acknowledge RAM limits, or alternatively the way you get message like "High coolant temp", etc. I have a save/load system and want to notify the user about file overlaps. Prompt or Yes/No would be ideal but guessing that's a reach.

Also in my modScipt.lua I do

load('scripts/my_mod/extension')
setExtensionUnloadMode('scripts/my_mod/extension', "manual")

It loads fine when going into freeroam, but if you jump directly into a time trial it doesn't load - why is that? can I make it initially load on timetrails too?

[late peak]

Take a look at guihooks to send the messages, there are a couple of options
https://docs.beammp.com/beamng/snippets/#guihooks-examples

For yes or no you could have keys binded to an action that executes a function for yes and another for no. Send the message to the player and wait a couple of seconds, if one of the actions are triggered in that interval you have your answer to the prompt

[limpid cargo]

Awesome, thanks for the snippets

Oh another question, is there a way to get the absolute path of the current directory? Like for instance currently it's C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.32, but it changes whenever there's a new update - or maybe it's also user configurable, in which case I'd need to change stuff too

[short thistle]

This is my first time trying to make a beamng skin and i've done the text files n everything yet when i load it in it has the big no texture on it?

Hi. I tryed to import terrain from L3DT following a yt tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp63H3ThbY4&ab_channel=MorzBNG) and now I have no material everywhere and in terrain painter there are no material does anybody know how to fix it ?

[spiral monolith]

You have to add the materials to the brush

Also, you have to click on the terrain and set the material texture set to make it PBR

[short thistle]

anyone?

[distant pendant]

are you making a skin for a vanilla car?

if so there is a 10x easier method to creating a custom skin

[dry cargo]

how do i install the jbeam thing for blender 4.2? The install button isnt there anymore

[shadow stratus]

If anyone could help with some questions about map making that would be great. I am running into some issues making the map.

[summer vault]

a texture on some layer in your materials file cannot be loaded, either its the wrong size, the names are misspelled somewhere or its just simply missing

[summer vault]

there is, under preferences > addons there is an option to install from disk under one of the submenus on the top right

[dry cargo]

yeah i noticed that but when i click the jbeam editor zip file it doesnt install it

it gives me this error

[dry cargo]

TEST

[merry shell]

Anyone ever had an issue where your mod won’t register the main Jbeam as the Root Jbeam? The slot is main but it won’t show and also won’t read anything in the main Jbeam like variables or glow maps. But the mod still works

It’s registering my frame Jbeam as the main Jbeam, no matter how many times I restart my frame and main jbeams I still have no success

[stable obsidian]

hi i'am trying to learn modding by swapping part from tjhe h series to the midtruck.
after a long time i maneged to get the cargo to the right place but i have tons of other stuff that i don't need and that causes a lot of other problems.
So do someone knows what i could delete to only keep the cargo?
(i've used "van_frame_upfit_heavy")

[ivory wigeon]

does anybody know whats wrong with my jbeam? im attempting to make some wheels

[devout cargo]

It seems that just one } to close the very starting point { is missing on the very last part of your code!

Also, I personally recommend using VS Code! I think it can do more of what the NotePad++ couldn't do!

[devout cargo]

In case this didn't work out, try increasing the value of {"nodeWeight":5.0} (kilograms) to {"nodeWeight":10} to see if it's beam instability issue!

[proud sierra]

can someone help me, i have these seats but idk how to get them into the game, i want them to replace the race seats

[true elbow]

How do replays save the location of the cars in the scene?
I see the plain text "position":{"y": ,"z": ,"x": } in the replay file, but when there's multiple cars it has the location of one car every frame, but only repeats the initial positions of the other cars.

[rancid wedge]

You should probably take the upfit itself instead of the frame (located in vehicles/common.zip/pickup/cargobox) and make a copy of it. Then search for the attatchment beams and make them go to nodes in the same are on the stambecco's body instead of the frame. Also try spawning both stambecco and van next to each other and press ctrl+N and crtl+B on both to see where all the nodes are

(The beams should have a //attatch above to mark them)

[stable obsidian]

oh okay thanks

[rancid wedge]

You need to add them to every car one by one, but search for the race seat's jbeam in each car and copy + rename. Then in the flexbodies section, replace the original model with your new model's name

[proud sierra]

could you help me?

idk how

[rancid wedge]

Well I am not at my pc rn, but I can answer some questions

[proud sierra]

i dont know nothing😭

[rancid wedge]

It's probably best to watch a tutorial then, so you know where to find the game files and how to set up your mod

[proud sierra]

eh ig i wont do it then, i always find videos so complicated and then when my frieds show me its super easy so thanks ayways

[ionic bridge]

I just converted my first track from another game but for some reason the kerbs just destroy the car when I drive over them, does anyone know how to fix that?

[shut pollen]

you might need to make your own simplified collision model for them. this happens a lot with walls and metal barriers that are either sticky or eat cars lmao

[shut pollen]

no worries

[lost jackal]

how do I edit gearbox strength?

my current one seems to not like too much torque

[stable obsidian]

i have one issue tho and it's that i can't find the attach part for the stambecco

[stable obsidian]

so i kinda found out

tho in which one can i put an offset?

[tacit halo]

those are x y z coordinates

depends on where you want to move it

[stable obsidian]

i wanna move it a bit upward and forward
but idk where to put the offset line

cause there's no cargo line

only the doors and stuff

[tacit halo]

figure it out by trial and erroir

[stable obsidian]

aight

[rancid wedge]

It only works like that if you offset the slot that the cargobox goes in

But that is part of the stambecco's body jbeam

To move it without making a copy of the body you would need to move the model, each node one by one and the slots (that you showed above)

[stable obsidian]

sounds quite hard

which solution is the cleanest?

[outer needle]

Hey can anyone explain the relation of the materials defined in the main.materials.json and the materials in blender, I know they share the same names and there is obvious correlation but how does the dae file "know" these things, do you just have to manually make materials in blender of the same name as the "mapTo" name in the .json? I assume main.materials.json takes care of the grouping and properties of the different textures (color map, normal map, specular map etc) and there is something in the dae that points the grouped materials to the objects.

[tacit halo]

a material in blender has a name
the materials.json has a "mapto" line, which maps those textures to the material name in blender you specify

[outer needle]

okay thanks for the explanation, I assume material properties set in blender carry over?

[tacit halo]

no nothing carries over from blender

[outer needle]

just a material with matching name is needed?

[tacit halo]

yes

you need then assign the textures inside that material.json material

[stable obsidian]

aight can i use a custom dae that would only be used with the cargobox?

[stable obsidian]

i can't change the offset

pls i need help

i tried doing it by myself but i just can't do it

[feral acorn]

So I am actually working on a car thru blender it’s the Bmw ix1 ( my dads car) would somone like to help me 😃 since I am a noob at the blender

https://www.beamng.com/threads/kljp-1992-ibishu-miramar-99s-miramar.95204/

it's unreleased

[ivory wigeon]

OKAY, the jbeam is working. now only the wheel is invisible...

i figured out that i have to rename te wheel inside of blender to the flexbody nameand now it shows up, its just a tad bit off

[cold vault]

So, not sure if anyone can help, but where are the weights for wheels? I created a new jbeam for the wheels I've modelled and on the car the wheels weigh 500kg, each...

[tepid tartan]

search "nodeWeight" within ur file should find it quite quickly.

[summer vault]

did you apply the transforms

[ivory wigeon]

yes, it was still off. weird model more than likely, after tedious tweaking its now on the right position

[cold vault]

Yeah, it's not that, I've changed that

The nodeweight doesn't change it. tbh it looks like it's been undefined and that 500kg is some kind of maximum, because it's exactly 500kg.

[tepid tartan]

afaik which im not saying im 100% right. weight has to be defined with nodeWeight. otherwise there is like 0 way beams would support the wheel. Unsure what your jbeam looks like but, overall that should be the only thing defining weight.

[cold vault]

I've pulled a few official and repo mod cars apart and I can't see anything wrong. Was hoping someone else has had a similar issue.

[tepid tartan]

toss me the jbeam rq?

I can double check it for ya

[cold vault]

I get that, and both are defined in a way that the wheel should weigh a bit less than a standard steel wheel. I'll send it to you one sec.

[tepid tartan]

according to your jbeam your wheels weigh 30 lbs

sorry 30kg

[cold vault]

Exactly, but according to the game they weigh 500kg

[tepid tartan]

according to my game they weight 30kg

[cold vault]

Oh

Ok, I'll see what's up with that.

[tepid tartan]

might be something else on the vehicle causing that weight

[cold vault]

Yeah

There's no nodes or nodeweight in the wheeldata on the suspension jbeam, so it can't be that. I'll keep tracking it down

[cold vault]

Thanks for looking 🙂

iirc there should be weight in brakes and tyres

maybe something there

[cold vault]

Using stock tyres already in game currently, and haven't assigned brakes, yet

[tepid tartan]

super weird

[cold vault]

I currently only have the rear wheels on the car... hence only two showing

Ahh, maybe I'll finish the front end then see if anything changes, I know Beam can have dodgy behaviours if it thinks something is missing

Ignore the banana shape of the chassis, lol, I've not defined all the beams properly, I'll do that once I've got a working vehicle and see where the weak points are. There's also no normals or textures on it beyond flat colours.

The only way i can understand stuff is if the person is talking directly to me😭

[tepid tartan]

Basically you need to setup a mod folder pathing to common so vehicles>common>(This is where you are going to put your materials and seat.)

[proud sierra]

I don’t know where to find the materials

[tepid tartan]

Well you'll either need to make them or get them from whatever model you have.

[proud sierra]

Im trying to replace the race seat with a seat from a mod

[tepid tartan]

Okay so then you need the mod model name and that jbeam only if you have the mod installed it'll grab everything from there

[proud sierra]

Im am taking the seat out of the body of another mod though

[tepid tartan]

It might be best for you to try and put it together yourself and discover failing points. I have to go to bed as i've got work. Wish you the best on your venture. If you still havent figured it out I can try to help more tomorrow (:

[proud sierra]

i dont think im going to do it but thanks anyways

to complicated

[turbid crystal]

anyone have any easy to follow skin tutorials?

[rancid wedge]

I learned by making a blank skin with the livery editor and then changing out the files for the actual skins

do i have to put it here?

[ionic bridge]

i have started converting another map from AC and some textures dont show up, despite them being there in blender

[gritty vapor]

You incorrectly ported the objects from Blender into BeamNG. To fix this issue, open Blender, switch to Edit Mode to find out the texture name, then go to BeamNG, locate this texture in the Material Editor, and set the correct path in its settings.

[worn shale]

Is there a way to animate a prop based on more than one function? I tried to duplicate the entry in the jbeam but that spawned the mesh two times, each one animated individually.

[ionic bridge]

Nope, not it

[stable obsidian]

how can i use a custom dae in my game

[calm kernel]

its fine for lhd but for rhd its inverted pls help

[trail jasper]

do you do self leveling suspension with air suspension or hydraulic suspension

[vestal wren]

I am making a mod for variable exhaust smoke for the D-Series (then the T-Series when I get this working), and to me everything here looks right, yet in the console it says it's missing the variable $particulates

[minor moth]

youre making it multiply a nil value

[vestal wren]

the instructions said to do that, that's why I am confused!

[minor moth]

should be $=$particulates+0.2 (change according to value)

[vestal wren]

this is what I got confused by, said to use its name in place of the number.

[minor moth]

the variable needs something to multiply, if it was a postion value sure then thats fine since the dae gives it the value but here it has no value to base off

if that doesnt work change the name to like $particl

[vestal wren]

btw just to make sure, which spot do I put this in?

[vestal wren]

still isn't working, for some reason.

[minor moth]

$=$particulates+0.2 this (im pretty sure) means multiply $particulates by value given from slider and base add 0.2

[minor moth]

change the name?

[minor moth]

of the name particulates might be like engine value, change the variable name in both

change $particulates everywhere it is to $particl

[vestal wren]

still borked.. am I just stupid or something?

why must this be difficult..

[minor moth]

try have the unit be nothing just ""

[vestal wren]

nope, didn't work. If needed I can try sending you the file, so you can experiment with it a little and see what I messed up.

[novel wagon]

im kinda new to modding and im trying to make a custom unibody but for some reason the old unibody (the vanilla one) doesnt show up, its like my custom body replaces the old one, i have added another config in the body jbeam so i dont really know whats wrong. does anyone know what the problem might be??

[neon oxide]

change the internal name of the mod

example ; the tiltdeck_load_40ft_haybales assuming its in the game, and your mod uses the same header probably so it overwites
{ "**tiltdeck_load_40ft_haybales**": { "information":{ "authors":"BeamNG", "name":"20 Square Hay Bales (9600kg)", }, "slotType" : "flatbed_load_short", "slots": [ ["type", "default", "description"], ["tiltdeck_load_40ft_haybales_straps","tiltdeck_load_40ft_haybales_straps","Straps"], ],

[novel wagon]

the jbeam name?

[neon oxide]

its either the file name that you need to change

or the internal part name

[novel wagon]

yeah ive changed the part name i believe, ill change the file name

[neon oxide]

yeah

because if 2 files have the same name it will cause issues

[novel wagon]

hmm yeah

nothing happened ill restart the game real quick

[neon oxide]

you can ctrl + L to reload all files

and ctrl + r to reload your mod if you saved somthing in a file

[novel wagon]

oh okay

for some reason nothing changed

[neon oxide]

if you renamed files or added files use ctrl +L

[neon oxide]

same issue ?

[novel wagon]

yeah

[neon oxide]

show me the header of your file

like the beginning

[novel wagon]

is that the header?

[neon oxide]

yeah

[novel wagon]

wait rq

ive added my own jbeam part in here and i have the original one too

might be wrong just because ive changed alot, barely know where im working lol

[neon oxide]

did you edit game files or made a whole neww file ?

[novel wagon]

made a new mod file

[neon oxide]

okay with a mod structure right

like "name of your mod" -> vehicles -> miramar -> stuff

[novel wagon]

looks right

[neon oxide]

yeah

if you want you can mp me the mod with only the body file so i can take a look at why

[novel wagon]

the jbeam file?

[neon oxide]

just the files needed to spawn it in game

[novel wagon]

yea hold on

[neon oxide]

yep

[ivory wigeon]

anyone know why the back wheel has no texture? the front works fine, and they dont have any uvs/textures yet (which could explain the problem but also why does the front one have a generic texture?)

[inner heart]

that looks like the id that the original unibody have

[inner heart]

do you need the front and rear wheel to be using different mesh for any real reason

[ivory wigeon]

dont think so, i copied the front wheel and made it a bit wider in blender to fit the back one. could that be the problem?

[inner heart]

so its different wheel, size wise

[inner heart]

fix the material name in blender for the rear wheel

i bet it have stupid things like .001 in the material its using there

[inner heart]

your front and rear wheel looks like should be using the same material

[inner heart]

and the front one?

[inner heart]

cause idk what materials u have ingame

so rear should be using the front stuff

[inner heart]

so that bad, use the materials of the front one in blender

then export it

[ivory wigeon]

if youre asking me to rename bost meshes too .001 i cant, otherwise im not sure how to "use the materials in the front one" since i copied them to another they are virtually the same

[inner heart]

yes u need to do the former

have u check the uh

the materials tab, should be able to get them to use the same material there

[ivory wigeon]

ahhhh

i see now, let me check it

that got it! thank you @inner heart !

[minor moth]

no thats not

what are you jbeaming lmao thats not how jou do it

[storm badger]

this is very early

[minor moth]

show me the model youre jbeaming

[storm badger]

i jsut want to know if i have added too many points

https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1266091891649155142

[minor moth]

yes 100%, if you can just send a frame or shell or whatever i can show you how its meant to be done

[storm badger]

im not in charge so :P

[minor moth]

are you jbeaming for someone?

[storm badger]

yes

[minor moth]

with zero knowledge?

yeah no why thats like going to a 5 star restaurant and pretending youre a 5 star cook while all you can cook are scrambled eggs

[storm badger]

oh i know how to i jsut keep going "This clips through too much, i dont like that"

i do a model like this then i dumb it down

[minor moth]

why are you arsing with scratch

that can easily be done using pessima mk1 jbeams

those 2 look very similar and adapting it would be ezpz

[storm badger]

because the pessima makes me want to cry and the properties are entirely different

[minor moth]

what do you mean properties

[storm badger]

the Maelstrom is basically paper

[minor moth]

you guys are even using pesima suspension whats the point of not using pessima as base

[minor moth]

im sorry to be rude but if you knew how to jbeam youd realise how relatively easy that is to do

[storm badger]

Yeah, I do know how to JBeam and the Pessima is so badly put together at the back that I don't want to touch it, Also, i'm pretty sure the suspensions is coming from the D-Series and is edited

[minor moth]

so why is the model a pesima

they are 2 different suspension systems

what is oh so horrible about the rear

its a good jbeamed rear with a properly jbeamed trunk whats the problem to edit here

if you tried to scratch this all id say iyou would do worse from what im looking you do atm

[storm badger]

have you ever tried to make the trunk/rear compartment crush instead of the front?

[storm badger]

its not...

[minor moth]

why are they mix matching shit dude this is like what

istg what is going on with this mod

[storm badger]

we are making it as close to possible as IRL

[minor moth]

literally anything you want can e what you want, this is a fucking bx

and its become a twingo

[storm badger]

thats really not a pessima at that point

[minor moth]

dude if you know how to jbeam, show me one of your jbeams that works with no stress

you can easily make a pessima jbeam a hatch if you try

[minor moth]

and? it saves you hours of dying over the jbeam not working right

[storm badger]

no...

either way I'm done with this conversation, I came asking if I have put too many points, knowing fully damn well I have and the first thing I get is pretty much "You are and idiot and a liar because you aren't doing it the same way as me"

[minor moth]

not the same way as me youre doing it the hard and goofy way

just use a pessima or covet then expand it even

[storm badger]

no

[minor moth]

well then lets watch you struggle

[storm badger]

just sod off

Use something else instead of main for the name

Rn you're probably overwriting the materials file for the sbr

You could also move that file into a subfolder

Hi all 👋 I'm pretty new here as well, with the game. I'm mostly amazed by the fact I can make a track so I'm trying to figure out some stuff regarding terrain resolution. I'm trying to achieve a map with more resolution, so terrain imperfections are more realistic. So what I'm doing to achieve this is making a heightmap of 8K, importing it into World Editor with odd or non orthodox values as I'm trying to figure out the meaning of these values. In the Import Windows I use 0.1 of Meter/Pixel. Then, in the World Editor itself, once selected the terrain, I use 0.1 and 100 of max height, to keep proportions, but the thing is the terrain resolution. I tried making an 4K map and find the proper values to get as much terrain resolution as possible, but I couldn't find a way more than shrinking an 8K sized heighmap and scale it accordingly. Texture is pixelated as it's some default texture.

Second pic is for judge the area of interest in proportion.

What do you think of this level of 3D, I mean, the small details and size/quality. It's good... average or below average. I need a honest reply as I want to improve. Also, if you know the proper values for achieving the same with a 4K map, I would appreciate. Thank you in advance for the reply 👍

[proper veldt]

Hey guys I was wondering how do I make my dash cluster props function properly?

[shut pollen]

i would probably reserve .1 m/p for gimmick maps or for track maps only. it will be hard to appreciate under some circumstances like city or highway focused maps, actually fully utilising the resolution on large maps will be cumbersome and it will explode file size on medium+ maps. you might want to talk to someone like OTB (the caney ridge map guy). we had a brief discussion covering a similar topic a while ago, and having spent some more time on caney ridge i would 100% agree with OTBs thoughts on where resolution becomes "good enough" for details

or check how the normal plastes are uvd

unwrap?

ill try using the normal one as a template

[minor moth]

ye do

[inland forge]

okay ill lyk

tysm

does this look okay?

on the right, ive used the layer

and aligned them

yeah but i mean the model maybe

or are you using the generic plates model

[inland forge]

jbeam?

im using a default one

but for the image im using a png

this is the one im using

[quartz basin]

Could someone help me out a little i have no idea how to do texture stuff only jbeam and a bit of modeling

[deep isle]

I can not find any info on linking road meshes online. Is there an easy way? It seems unreal to me that you would have to manually stitch these together...? But I cant figure out an effective way to line up these road meshes... how do people get such smooth roads if they are using align mesh and there is no link?

[inland forge]

hi guys i am trying to make a busline mod for wcusa, and im trying to get the spawn point

but it wants a quaternion, in the inspector it only shows euler angles of my spawnpoint

[warm sphinx]

Most people use terrain to make roads not meshes

Meshes are good for the initial smoothing process tho

[deep isle]

But how do you get the Road meshes to create intersections for smoothing at the correct heights? Like without a link the road meshes can end up at different postions where they touch and when you level the terrain it is jagged in those spots, you end up having to do like 5-8 passes over every road....

[warm sphinx]

Terrain smoothing tool

[deep isle]

Fml 😂

[warm sphinx]

Thats just how it is lol takes forever

Wait until you get to the decal editing

[deep isle]

I wish we had some of those beam.tech features for splitting road nodes and locking nodes....

Oh yeah im not excited about that either hahaha

[warm sphinx]

You can split river nodes iirc so I could see it

[deep isle]

I ended up on the beam.tech wiki by accident and i was looking around for all the advanced menus in game getting so heated like "where are these features???" 😂

I truly appreciate the advice!!! None of the tutorials i found mentioned that detail 😂

[quartz basin]

almost correct

i cant figure it out

[trail jasper]

check UV maps

guys do you need to set the jbeam to origin in blender?

[quartz basin]

i have done the UV maps though

thats the issue

[trail jasper]

done it from zero?

[quartz basin]

as in completely custom parts? then no its modified vanilla parts

[trail jasper]

the uv map, did you reused the vanilla uv map or done it from scratch?

[quartz basin]

i just selected the vertices and unwrapped

seems like maybe you shouldn't do that?

[trail jasper]

why do you hate yourself

[trail jasper]

meh, you can but you will hate to do it

start with the original uv map

and reverse engeeneer it to prefection

readapt it to your needs

[quartz basin]

how do i do that then because it seems like i might have messed up

[viral ferry]

It's probably just the on-load samples

[trail jasper]

[robust holly]

Agree 100% on that; I couldn't sleep tonight thinking on a situation in were such resolution became useful and why. It's true a race needs flat paths, and what we visually enjoy are visual patterns along the race, which is the landscape formation. You know... our mind is caught by the continuous harmonic movements from lines as it's also hypnotic; the lines of a highway, the street lines, the lines of mountains, more curved, less curved, etc... like when you go through a bridge with those things that support the bridge. All that also give us the speed feeling.

Then we have these type of Camel Trophy stuff, where terrain is what catches our attention, how we crawl on it and do micro movements to sort out the obstacle. And we have a second type which is more speedy, like the terrain in the screenshot I shared. I made a map that goes from absolute flat to noise in order to judge where the terrain size starts to change the driving style to the extent of making it boring. But this is more a side thought that leads to another main subject(1).

The main idea came from a free roam map enjoyable at any of these levels and without a track, demanding the mind to think or find a track, like a big puzzle, (yet going to point a to b is also a great idea inside that big puzzle(1)). This idea is still too abstract. Also, how the physics reacts to a complex terrain is really interesting and how to surpass certain obstacles are very realistic and logic follow. How you can grasp with tires from some details that wouldn't be possible if that detail wasn't there.

And here comes a blend of ideas, which is making a normal resolution map for everything is not the road, and a super resolution terrain for what is the path (doable in an extermal map terrain-type editor). I'm actually in the process of making that. But I also like the free roam idea of making the path while driving.

In any case a 4K map has enough space I believe, so if instead of densifying by subdividing squares and being squished from 8K to 4K, is there a way to subdivide equally but in a 4K map? It's the same thing, I mean... it's relative. But true is I don't want to make the thousand of tests to find if hte differences, if any, are relevant. Probably anyone else did it and can save me some walk.

[shut pollen]

by "subdivide equally" do you just mean 1m/p? my brain is kinda fried from chasing a strange bug all night lmao

[robust holly]

Equally... I mean... I get a higher resolution result when going from 8K to 4K because interpolation/algorithms happening to do so. Then it should be a way to achieve the same result but only using 4K bnut morew subdivided.

subdivided like when from 8K to 4K.

Equally, I mean... like... the result is the same doesn't matter the order.

8K to 4K what is doing actually is adding more subdivisions to the terrain; no idea how many, if the double or more. It isn't shrinking the amount of squares to 4K but squishing tighting them into anm smaller area.

[shut pollen]

8k to 4k would be 4x, if my brain is still functioning lmao

[robust holly]

what does ther x mean?

[shut pollen]

4x4 is 16, 8x8 is 64, 64/16 is 4. you get 4x the detail using an 8k heightmap over 4k

[robust holly]

Oh I see... Thank you very much 🙏

Thank you.

[shut pollen]

no worries. 8k heightmap on 4kmx4km map is probably about the right balance, i think jv uses like .75 square size or something, for reference

[robust holly]

There we are... I'm trying to figure how relevant is between 0.5 and 0.1. Are these numbers like resolution, DPI or PPI? Like screens of printers?

I mean, the amount of details is by 4. just by using 0.75?

from 8 to 4 then 0.75 that's 4x of dtail on a 4K?

[shut pollen]

i think jv is 4k heightmap and 3x3 dimensions?

[robust holly]

what does mean jv?

[shut pollen]

johnson valley

[robust holly]

I have no idea... I have been struggling a lot with the 1, 0.5 and now 0.1

I mean, if I can set all to 1 that would be satisfying.

but with details of everything we've talked.

[shut pollen]

every pixel is delegated 1 metre of heightmap at 1.0, should be half a metre per pixel at .5? been up way too long

[robust holly]

Yes, but if we use a 16K and then we import it, assuming is possible...

1 would be 0.5?

[shut pollen]

16k heightmap on 4kmx4km map would be .25, no?

[robust holly]

that what I was thinking because of 4x

so 1 becomes .25?

If yes then I can keep thining.

8K becomes .5

i'm right? Im not good at maths and stuff related, sorry, so I need to ask.

[shut pollen]

sounds right to me, probably would have to talk to OTB for a more detailed explanation

[robust holly]

Sounds right to me too... it's like logic

Thank you again for helping me drawing conclusions 🙂

Since there's no way to record sounds through beamng, I set up a simple python server that uses pyaudio to handle mic stuff, and beamng just sends data to it. Nothing is obfuscated or compiled, and the server isn't required for the mod to work if you are using pre recorded sounds (ie included with the mod). Given the recent security concerns with mods, will it be acceptable to instruct users to run a python server? Will I be able to include a python script in an official mod, or will I have to point them to a separate resource / website if they want to record their own voice?

[silent lark]

Can you use equations for jbeam values?

I wanna make a transmission that has 12 gears, 6 reverse and 6 forward gears. I am doing this for fast & furious funnies and I am making the transmission have adjustable gear ratios. I want the reverse gears to mirror the forward gear ratios so I was thinking I'd just multiply the ratios by -1 to make them negative for reverse.
Something like, "$gear_1" * -1.
I wanna ask before I waste my time.

[twilit python]

How do I add a spawnpoint to my map? Currently I spawn under the map somewhat far away. I'm making a racetrack and I'd like the spawn to be in the pits, maybe another in the parking lot.

I'd appreciate some help getting it to work.

[inner heart]

you can even use complex math, so u can use equation yes

tho u need it like "$=$var*-1"

[silent lark]

Huh, I'll keep that in mind!

Thank you!

anyone know how to export a certain car model and not all the peices made for a car

[robust holly]

After trying and trying I figure that BeamNG needs DLSS. Just found the right proportions. The heightmap I'm using now has too many small details in it, so the geometry was increased and now I can't get more than 40 fps while playing that map. The terrain looks like made from UE5 😄

[dry cargo]

Relying on DLSS and frame generation instead of optimization is wrong because it increases latency to the point that even a singleplayer game like beam becomes unplayable

[dry cargo]

does anyone know how to make glowmaps apply for a beamng mod
so they glow

BRUH

[heady trail]

The name glowmaps is kinda misleading

Really all it does is switch a material mapTo between three other materials

You'd need a light off material, then a light on material at least

The light on material is what actually glows, the glowmap just switches between the materials

#modding-general message

This explains the basics as well

[quick elm]

i downloaded a file that muye used in one of his videos, how do i transfer it to beamng

[wicked ocean]

put it in the mods folder

beamng is probably the easiest game to download and install mods for lol; making them is hard, but putting them in-game is easy

[drowsy vault]

anybody know why this isnt working? im kinda trying to revive an old mod but with my limited lua knowledge i havent been able to figure anything out

[deep isle]

Is it possible to use multiple heightmaps in one map and link different tiles of terrain?

[deep isle]

Also, other question, if you use the default scale of 1m per pixel, i assume that height is also 1m per pixel? Trying to scale my maps height accurately.

[desert coral]

So, i got an question, This is the first time for me using the World editor so maybe im just dumb, but if i want to use the forest tool, it wont place anything when using the brush and if i want to make a new group for ,for example rocks, they dont show up, i only see two assets in the menu.

ill send a photo one sec

[shut pollen]

you can only have 1 heightmap terrain, the rest will have to be meshes. mesh terrains dont work in the same way heightmap terrains do though

[deep isle]

Is there any way to import a heightmap bigger than 8k?

[shut pollen]

from memory i think the paid version of caney ridge uses 16k, but you will have to talk to OTB about how that works. my brain is fried rn, 5am

[deep isle]

Thank you! Ill see what i can do or find. My game seems to crash when they are to big. Or if they arent square. Im attempting to put a very large real world area into a map. Wish i could stich them together rip.

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @shut pollen (current: #177 - 11)

[shut pollen]

defo gotta be square though, dont think there is a workaround for that one

[robust holly]

Yeah, how many indie developers are creating bad optimized games because of frame generation and DLSS, but I'm talking about for those who won't hide their flaws under DLSS or under the absence of it.

In fact I just optimized my map. to the exact amount of pixels and details and now works much better while conserving all the details. There is also a problem with BeamNG where it takes more GPU to render in some areas than others depending on how the sun is creating its stuff. It seems if the time of day is too demanding, like generating too many shdows and occlusions then, lack of frames.

[robust holly]

Remember that the bigger the map, the bigger the map details, then the bigger the "pixels" too then the low res looking. I have been struggling with that for few days but if you scale your map properly in the software you use then fixing any uncorrelation inside BeamNG is easy.

It's a huge topic because you know... the area of the map doesn't determine the amount of detail on that area, so if you have a rock in a given context, and you stretch that map, the rock will stretch too, and everything else. That forces you to decrease the amount of pixels per square meter in order to make the map fit with the proportions you need. So finally you end with a 3 times smaller map with amazing details instead of a 2 times smaller map with same amount of details. That's what I can share with you as I'm a total newbie but I'm noticing things that I hope help to others 👍

[deep isle]

Indeed. Luckily i found a super high res img of the area im making. Its drivable without edits at scale. Just to big to fit into 1 8k img and not loose quality.

Apperently my new heightmaps are crashing the game lol

[deep isle]

Do Large or high res heightmaps cause the game to crash? I was able to import 1 but the others are causing repeated crashes 😭🤔
(Hovering over or trying to load it by file name causes a crash.)
Edit: think i discover why its crashing, somehow photoshop saved a 16 bit img as 64 bit 😂 and beam does not like it at all lol

[quartz basin]

one step closer but yeahhhhh how fix?

it should all be body color

and yes ive done uv mapping but not fully by the looks of it

[deep isle]

Ik this isnt exactly a beam question but, why would photoshop be saving my grayscale images in 64 bit depth? Im on 16 channel grayscale mode and my document is set for 16 bits, so im confused? Shud i set the channels to 8? Or the bits to 8? Or?

[sturdy dome]

A quick question about 3d models. So I'm pretty new to beamng modding, I've made a few parts mods and now I want to move on to making whole cars. The question is, do people model and texture cars from scratch or take them from somewhere?

[normal bay]

I need some help with a transmisson, im using a single clutch automated manual for my aventador but the launch control only works in neutral not in any gear

[sturdy dome]

I might be able to help

Tomorrow tho

[loud mural]

Hey, I’ve had the same problem. It seems grayscale causes the crash. The height map I have is already 16 bit and photoshop didn’t change that.

[deep isle]

so do you save in rgb or? I thought beamng heightmaps were all grayscale lol

[loud mural]

Rgb. I thought you were supposed to make them grayscale but those always crashed exactly like you said.

[deep isle]

huh is there any drawback in quality?

[loud mural]

I don’t think so, if it’s actually 16 bit.

But I haven’t had any luck converting something to 16 bit.

[deep isle]

Im getting really inconsistent results from testing out a bunch of stuff right now. some grayscale 16 bit imgs work and others dont even tho they are identical sizes. some attempt to spawn in but fail and leave a small block of immovable terrain, others outright crash the game.

[loud mural]

I also set compression to zero.

This where I got my height map. https://manticorp.github.io/unrealheightmap/

[deep isle]

Same hahaha

I have the imagery, the game just hates me, as well as photoshop.

[loud mural]

Are your height maps 2048 or 4096?

[deep isle]

8192

but the really big one with everything, that obviously wont work is 24k by 16k

[loud mural]

Yeah maybe that’s too big. A 4k height map works pretty well with a 16x16km map.

[deep isle]

Im making a real world location as accurate as i can for personal satisfaction. It seems you can freeform a 100kmx100km map in this game, but attempting to use the import tools that is an impossible task.

[deep isle]

This is why I am so dead set on using the full resolution... i barely have to fix these roads 👀👌 😂

I have a silly question, how accurate is the measurement of meters in this game in terms of scale? It feels like there is a slight discrepancy when I scale up my terrain to what the calculated size shud be, it seems slightly smaller than it shud be.

[shut pollen]

pretty spot-on measurement wise, what are the exact dimensions of your heightmap and terrain?

[deep isle]

My Heightmap is 3.72 meters per pixel, and ive scaled it to 3.8 to test it out, yet it feels smallish but pretty close. The image is 8k by 8k.
Could just be the inaccuracy of lidar in general tho for all i know, or the way the game displays the heightmap just makes some spots look skinny.

Thank you sir. I thought it was pretty accurate. Just some spots look odd and to cramped. While others seem maybe bigger than their real world counter parts 😂

Did a quick check on the airport, its 130ish meters longer than the real world 🤔 huh how bout that...
(Oh and apperently you can do more fine tuned scaling in the inspector menu. When spawning in terrain it limits you to 1 decimal place for some reason? Now its at 3.72. Nice 👌)

[deep isle]

Is there a method to calculate height scale to be accurate? Currently just brute forcing by checking the bottom of map vs top peak 😂

[polar peak]

@verbal quail Hello Arcanox. I'm trying to study your hybrid code and wish to make some modifications to the power distribution between the generator and ICE. However I have difficulty understanding how you calculate the required torque of MG1. If you are currently free, could you explain it to me? Thank you.

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @verbal quail (current: #917 - 1)

[verbal quail]

it's really complicated, and to be completely honest, I haven't looked at the code for quite some time since I've been busy with other stuff. the general jist is that the amount of torque delivered to the ring gear by the engine is directly proportional to the amount of torque the MG1 generator is creating to apply load to the engine (usually by generating power, but at high speeds, it might actually be consuming power to do so)

it's a function of several things, the most important being the tooth counts of the various parts of the planetary gearbox (as these determine the torque ratios)

the computer has to calculate the exact balance of how much torque should be delivered by the engine and how much torque should be delivered by the motor using electricity generated by the engine so that everything balances out to the correct total output torque (obviously adjusting as necessary if it wants to use power from the battery or charge the battery)

[polar peak]

Oh thank you very much.

My goal is to change the hybrid logic so that the throttle input act as a mean to control the power distribution between ring gear and MG1 while the engine can maintain an efficient rpm and load. When the power requirement go just past the ecoKw, engine can distribute most of the power toward the generator, while just below power range, most of the mechanical torque is transferred to the ring gear to drive the wheel.

I’m wondering if that’s actually achievable🤣Still trying to figuring out the torque balance xd.

[verbal quail]

I don't think that's possible because of how everything is mechanically linked together. The power split between MG1 and the ring gear is a fixed ratio

[polar peak]

Might have to find a way to include MG1 -> Ring torque in the tO calculation. Thanks for the explanation

[deep isle]

Is max height slider scaled by the square size? Or is it always individual meters?

[stray bridge]

I believe height is fixed by max height, and x, y are scaled by square size

[deep isle]

Thats how it seems to me as well. Thank you!

It doesnt seem to actually represent meters if your scaling the terrain but, it does seem fixed.

[stray bridge]

I have a much more robust way to get real-world height data into Beam, but it's a GIS crossover technique. Kind of a steep learning curve, but I can explain if you want

[deep isle]

Please shoot me some DMs on it im interested! I will admit it may be out of my wheel house. But rn im considering using trig to calc the slopes and compare to pics 😂

[stray bridge]

oof, don't do that

[deep isle]

Ikr... im pretty close just thru messing with the slider but id like to be as accurate as possible since the map is to scale in every other way.

[stray bridge]

you can get 1m data for any area in red

anybody else in here interested? or should we keep this off the help feed?

[deep isle]

If i may add my 2 cents, i appreciate all the info in this feed, even extraneous stuff, alot of tutorials breeze thru this stuff. Ive found so much info in here that helped.

Rip ik my area wasnt covered for 1m data 😂😭🤷 i used the usgs site and a few other places to grab some huge tiffs but they didnt have any good 1m data on my area.

[stray bridge]

bummer

[deep isle]

Tbh this 3m data isnt bad... i can drive 60mph up a mnt pass with no edits at scale.... 🤔👌

[stray bridge]

I found some really nice areas are covered by the 1m data. you can also use a GIS program called QGIS to download roads, building footprints, landcover, etc.

stuff needs to be processed, though, so most people get hung up at this step

[stray bridge]

you can also scale that down by setting it to .3 or whatever and get your 1m

lots of ways to skin this cat

[deep isle]

Just to save someone who might be checking time, No you can not stich multiple terrains together. Only one will be solid. And the texture editor will freak out. Also you might break your level badly 😂 had to reset mine after that test.

[rancid wedge]

[quartz basin]

[desert coral]

so

i figured out how to get new assets now, but when i take the rock assests from East coast USA, they haveno texture, what to do?

[warm sphinx]

Make sure you drag in the textures too not just the dae. If that doesn’t work you can re apply the textures in the material editor

[signal patio]

[west vector]

Any way to stiffen engine mounts?

[shut pollen]

should probably recalc normals

edit mode, select all relevant verts and then alt+N, pick a few options and see what fixes it the best

you will probably have to show us the topology in that case

and how does the "bad" side look?

you should be using the mirror modifier to generate the mesh anyway, rather than duplicating and joining. you will have to look at tutorials for the mirror modifier and recalculating normals if it is still funky after that

there are some things that would make it offset, like transforms etc. you really should look at a tutorial covering it, not sure i can explain it well enough as i am pretty busy rn

Update for anyone who was helping me or curious:
The height slider does not scale with the scale slider. My original heightmap data was skewed so it seemed off. With proper heightmap data and scaling it to the correct size, I just typed in the real world height and its basically 1 to 1 scale. No extra math needed to scale the height. (Simply put the height is indeed in meters, if you scale your heightmap or image at 1-1 you can just type the real height delta. However if your map is at a different scale, IE: 1/3 or 2x the size, you will have to calculate the adjusted height/delta.)

Hi, i am trying to give the canards on the bx more downforce, I have followed this tutorial: https://www.beamng.com/threads/tutorial-making-a-custom-part-for-a-vanilla-car.82050/ , but nothing shows up in the Vehicle Config

[inner heart]

you need to ensure that ur new jbeam file name is not the same as any other jbeam files

you can just rename the file name to be more specific

[broken mica]

this is what i have at the moment

i deleted everything but the canards was i meant to do that?

[inner heart]

... so you have a bumper that have the slot "md_bx_bumper.....whatever"?

basicly, ur slottype, is there a part that have that slot?

[broken mica]

no nothing shows up in the vehicle config

[inner heart]

so that question didnt work...

how many parts did you add

[broken mica]

just the canards

[inner heart]

good, cause it have no where to go on

[broken mica]

they are the vanilla ones but i just wanted to give them more downforce

[inner heart]

so they are the whole bumper with cannards

[broken mica]

give me a second ill show you

[inner heart]

i will trust you words, if u say them

[broken mica]

as you can see the canards are a part you can put on

[inner heart]

so theres a slot for the canards

[broken mica]

yes

[inner heart]

then u need to use that slot in the slottype

this slot doesnt exist

[broken mica]

oh ok thank you

so you "front_canards"?

use*

[inner heart]

is that whats used by the vanilla front canards?

if so then yes, that

[broken mica]

vanila is "bx_bumper_F_popup_kit_alt_canards"

[inner heart]

then u use that

[broken mica]

oh ok that makes sense

thanks ill let you know if it works

still doesnt work

[inner heart]

... in the bottom left of the parts menu thers an option for "show names" which would show the internal names used for parts and slots

toggle that and check the slot name appeared for the canards

[broken mica]

yes its this

[inner heart]

what u have in the jbeam file rn?

[broken mica]

bx_bumper_F_popup_kit_alt_canards

[inner heart]

mod is enabled, yes?

[broken mica]

yes

its unpacked

[inner heart]

can u show the whole jbeam file
