fuck sake

@brittle warren that plugin fucking renamed every node

[brittle warren]

Yea just rename in vs code with the search and replace feature

thats what i do its quite simple

[unique zealot]

i'll just use notepad++

[brittle warren]

thats bad lol use vscode with the jbeam addon it makes zero sense to use notepad when you have something made by the devs for jbeams

[unique zealot]

i have beamng open too and blender

3 monitors isnt enough

[brittle warren]

yea swear i have 7 but need more cords to get em all running rn only 3 running

[unique zealot]

well shit

[unique zealot]

vsc it is

[brittle warren]

Damn i rarely get crashes anymore but it sucks when it happens

[unique zealot]

[brittle warren]

click search on the left side and then ther you can replace all the nl with frml or whatevgre u wany

[unique zealot]

thats what im doing but theres nodes in the 100s so if im searching n14, it will show nodes for 140

[brittle warren]

oh yea u have middle nodes u can just replane all n with ur m then after do ml and mr to fl and fr

[unique zealot]

im getting there

slowly but surely

[brittle warren]

Hell yea cant wait to see it crumpled from a side impact

[unique zealot]

im at the back

[unique zealot]

im done

only triangles left

ive got the back nodes connected, on paper, time to test that and i need to shower after

[brittle warren]

Lol sweaty gamer moment?

[unique zealot]

it drives and is attached but

[unique zealot]

no i just need to shower

[brittle warren]

um do you have any support beams?

[unique zealot]

no just this so far

[brittle warren]

oh lol thats why then

[unique zealot]

the support beams are like each node at each end, right?

stretching across like this

[brittle warren]

yea corner to corner side to side that typa thing look at the ambulance box jbeam for some insporation

[vast rover]

I'm new to editing mods, how do I make a radar that works on the beamg drive? I have the 3d

[ember cliff]

i just gotta fix the jbeam and add textures

[brittle warren]

Yw i have made that mistake a lot lol

[ember cliff]

now that i know what causes that to happen

i can fix my roamer mod

[brittle warren]

hell yea

[ember cliff]

useless ahhh bullbar

[ember cliff]

urm how do i stop this from being so wanky

[brittle warren]

Wym wanky lol

[ember cliff]

lopt sided

[brittle warren]

Is your jbeam the same size as the bumper?

[ember cliff]

uhh

[unique zealot]

Yeah that exact thing happened to me as well lol

[unique zealot]

Also with the glow maps, so the lights, can I just apply the material to those parts and be good to go or no? If anyone knows

[placid abyss]

‼️ I NEED HELP MAKING A MAP ‼️

i want to convert the choro q hg 2 map to beam

(not including cloud hill)

[river forge]

Yup, first part of the glowmap is the name of the material you gotta apply to your mesh

Then off on on_intense are the ones you will actually see

[placid abyss]

dont reply i beg of you i give up

[unique zealot]

Whats the name of it for the md/d series? If you hapoen to know, im just not at my pc rn

[placid abyss]

d series is pickup

idk what the md is tho

[unique zealot]

Thats pickup too

[river forge]

The name of what? All the lights have different names, not sure which one you wanna use, the MD-Series has... uh... quite a few

Mostly stolen from D- and T-Series though

[unique zealot]

The name of the materials

But uhh yeah thats a lot

It’ll be the rear lights to use

[river forge]

First name right at the start of each glowmap, for example the ones in red here

(So that's what you'd apply to the mesh)

[unique zealot]

That is pretty much what i was looking for, but whats the difference between say gavril-taillight-R and gavril-taillight-R-Lowbeam

Lowhighbeam*

[river forge]

Ok so basically, the simplefunction stuff is what tells the game when to activate the glowmap. Combined value of 0 or lower will show the off material, combined value between 0.01-0.49 will turn on the on material, and above 0.5 will show the on_intense material

gavril_taillight_R has the simplefuction {"signal_R":0.49,"brake":0.49}, so having either the signal or the brake on, will show the on material, and having both on at the same time, will show the on_intense material (so funilly enough this one doesn't actually activate when you turn your lights on lol)

gavril_taillight_lowhighbeam_R seems like something you'd want to use, the simplefunction {"signal_R":0.49,"brake":0.49,"lowhighbeam":0.49} will make it show on when either the signal/brake is pressed or lights are on (either low or highbeam, doesn't matter), and it will show on_intense when 2 or more of those are active at the same time

Btw on_intense is just the lit up lights material, but brighter

10/10 yapping session

long story short just use the gavril_taillight_lowhighbeam_L/R one lol

[unique zealot]

Ok so lowhighbeam combines the lights whereas the other one doesnt?

Am I getting that?

[odd gazelle]

how do i add a configuration i made to career? e.g. a vivace with a certain paint design

[river forge]

Uh well they both do. But the first only combines brakes and signal, no lowhighbeam, so the glowmap won't change when you turn on the lights

[unique zealot]

If it matters too, This is the combo im using

[river forge]

Check this message #game-discussion-2-electric-boogaloo message

[unique zealot]

Ok i get it now

[river forge]

Oo dedicated turn signals, gonna make em round too? If so you'd be better of using the US truck lights, as they are round and also use multiple lights (the ones on the backs of trailers and such)

These ones

[unique zealot]

Same case, just apply those materials in blender?

[silent glade]

does anyone have any idea how to change the tseries engien brake sound?

engine*

[river forge]

..._taillights for the top light, would activate with either brake or lights turned on

..._signal_L/R for the turn signals, pretty self explanatory

And then I guess ..._reverse for those bottom ones?

[river forge]

Absolutely

Now you would still need to line up your lights UV maps with those of the US truck lights, but that will come later ;)

[unique zealot]

I am doing the jbeam right now but I still appreciate your help

[unique zealot]

For the bot purposes, thanks

[river forge]

You're welcome!

[unique zealot]

This is the current state basically if you’re curious

[river forge]

I would assume that just uses the engine/exhaust sounds

[silent glade]

well uh

[river forge]

😛

[silent glade]

im confused lol does it adjust some stuff in the exhaust sound? like eq for example

[river forge]

I don't know anything about modding the sounds themselves, but in your engines jbeam you can change these values, and even swap out the sampleName for a completely different sound if you want

[silent glade]

Im fine with this but I dont know why I dont hear popping in the engine brake lol

its because im making an engine mod for the t series

[odd gazelle]

will it also show up in vehicle jockey missions? what do i need to add for that?

[river forge]

Huh, weird, is it based on the vanilla engine?

And is the compression brake actually turned on (just checking)? 👇

[river forge]

I have no idea, what I sent is just for getting it into the dealerships

[silent glade]

well the engine sound is normal but I changed exhaust sound

[odd gazelle]

oki

[silent glade]

Devs definitely did something in fmod

[river forge]

Btw this is dumb, I just realised you can simply steal the light and glass models from the T-Series/some trailer, and resize them 😅 no UV map nonsense needed then
@unique zealot

[unique zealot]

I have “borrowed” the ambulance hatches anyway

But it would be good practice, that can be the backup

[heady trail]

only a few exhaust sounds have it

like 2

i think only the tseries ones

[unique zealot]

Should triangles go in clockwise or anti clockwise, from the direction you are facing?

[river forge]

What do you mean? As far as I know the exact order doesn't really matter

[unique zealot]

should it go
f5l, f7l, f6l
or f6l, f7l, f5l because the face will be inverted otherwise

@river forge this is what i mean and ive figured it out by that,
it should go anti clockwise

[river forge]

Ah I just send it and hope for the best

To change the direction of a triangle, you can just switch two of its nodes (doesn't matter which) to flip it

[unique zealot]

yeah thats what i did to demonstrate that lol

Hello not sure if world editor counts but is there a way to select multiple materials instead of one by one?

this is a UV issue here, but what exactly would cause it?

[crystal wraith]

ive never had anything but problems with all the terrain tools

[brittle warren]

Yea its litterally a brand new map and noone seems to know how to fix it or if they do they wont help lol

[crystal wraith]

damn, i wish i could help

When i import height maps and select the terrain i want it to be, that material just deletes it self, absolutley wonderful lol, really took the motivation out of my project

[brittle warren]

Yea im about to stop making a map tbh lol ive done it in the past just fine but the stupid pbr crap just wont work no matter what i do

Wym it deleted itself i may be able to help on that one

[crystal wraith]

i was gonna make an offroad map and this is what i got before just being completely done with it lmao

[crystal wraith]

dw about it, havent even touched it in a month

[brittle warren]

Thats sick we need more offroad maps i plan on adding trails to mine its a small town typpa map but i wanna add trails and cool alleyways and dirt roads but i cant do jack sqaut if i cant paint the terrain

[meager fractal]

The average beamng.drive user would argue against you. Simple me just want dirt trails map in Siberia.

[brittle warren]

Average beam users drive meshslaps on assetto corsa maps lol so i get it

[meager fractal]

It looks nice.

[crystal wraith]

[neon ember]

I get this weird flickering when importing a collada animation I have downloaded from Mixamo so I assume Mixamo does a good job with the rigging. Any idea how I can fix this flickering? In the #bug-reports they claimed this is not a bug in the game but a mod problem. Any ideas how I can fix this? When I import the animation in Blender, I don't see any problem, it animates just fine.

[minor moth]

try disable vertex colors if they are on?

[neon ember]

How? I went into BeamNG options but can't find anything in the Graphics tab. Where do I disable Vertex Colors in BeamNG?

[minor moth]

in the material file of the dummy

if they even use vert color

[neon ember]

it doesnt use vertex colors. only 1 baked image texture.

[celest harbor]

Whole day Im trying to make a mod that will play a sound on vehicle startup but in console it shows that it couldnt load the sound file (using .ogg format, tried with vanilla sounds too). There is a very high possibility that the lua is fully incorrect, I only started doing something with lua for the first time. Couldnt find any tutorial on internet either, only on how to make custom sounds for engine. Any help, examples or tutorials appreciated. Current file location:
mod/
|-- art/
| |-- sound/
| |-- engine_start.ogg
|-- vehicles/
|-- etk800/
|-- lua/
|--controller/
|-- car_start_sound.lua
|--jbeam
|--main.jbeam (adds part as car_start_sound.lua controller)

[heady trail]

you cant use createSoundscapeSound for sounds that arent defined in a soundscape, that is for stuff like horn, indicator on, etc
also use "/art/sound/engine_start.ogg" as the path

if you want to load a custom sound do this

local M = {}

local audioName = "engineStartFeedback"
local audioId

local function init(jbeamData)
    -- path, description, name, node, playOnAdd
    audioId = obj:createSFXSource2("/art/sound/engine_start.ogg", "AudioDefault3D", audioName, 0, -1)

    --[[ possible descriptions are:
        AudioDefault3D
        AudioSoft3D
        AudioClose3D
        AudioClosest3D
        AudioMusic3D

        AudioDefaultLoop3D
        AudioCloseLoop3D
        AudioClosestLoop3D
        AudioMusicLoop3D

        Audio2D
        AudioStream2D
        AudioMusic2D

        AudioLoop2D
        AudioStreamLoop2D
    ]]
end

M.init = init
M.reset = reset
M.updateGFX = updateGFX

M.playSound = playSound
M.stopSound = stopSound

return M

and then use

sounds.playSoundSkipAI(audioId)

[dry cargo]

How do i add an invisible barrier to stop people from flying off my new map i made

[celest harbor]

This really changed something! But I dont think I did everything right... (not the sound from .ogg file)

[heady trail]

is this a controller or an extension?

try onInit instead of init

[celest harbor]

controller

[heady trail]

hmm

[celest harbor]

with oninit gives me this error

[heady trail]

if its a controller try this

[celest harbor]

It works! Thank you!

how do i make an invisible wall?

im hoping you know cus im stuck!

need it cus this map for photos onluy

[heady trail]

make a cube mesh that only has a collision mesh

and then resize it in the world editor

[dry cargo]

how do i?

im new to world editor so sorry very much

[heady trail]

in blender

something like this

youll probably also need to give it some material, can use a global one like concrete_plain

[woeful shadow]

For performance on a map the size of wcusa, is it better to have fewer but longer decal roads or vice versa, or does it not generally matter

[dry cargo]

i will try thamls

ok how do i give my friend the map i made cus i gave it to him but hes just floating?

[hushed bridge]

are all the .dae files inside the map file

What needs to be changed for a skin to show the pure skin color and not be paintable? The Beam paint properties seem to be messing with the coloration of the skin I made

toss out your colorPalletteMap and colorPaletteMapUseUV in the materials file, only use baseColorMap and diffuseMapUseUV
(diffuse = basecolor)

So I'm trying to import an ibishu Hecate mod to blender, but the file won't upload, how do I import it from beamng to blender?

It keeps telling me, cannot read file

[crystal wraith]

this got me ctfu

[sly portal]

I bought a mod off patreon, but it broke in the new update. can someone helo me fix it? It's paid so I would prefer one on one help in dms

ping me plz

[crystal wraith]

if a mod broke... the mod author needs to fix it...

be patient

[sly portal]

there isn't a way to fix it on my own?

the guy isn't active anymore

[crystal wraith]

who is it

[sly portal]

half lit performance iirc

[crystal wraith]

you shouldnt modify someone elses mod

[sly portal]

but I paid for it 😦

[crystal wraith]

so? that doesnt give you rights to modify

[sly portal]

well I didn't know that

soz

[brittle warren]

If you want to fix a mod you paid for that doesn't work then i don't see an issue with that at all i paid for the product id like to be able to use it, if someone buys my mods and they don't work and they cant reach me for some reason id want them to fix my mods so they can use it just not distribute it. When you buy something you have the right to use it and if it isn't usable you should have the right to make it usable if you aren't distributing it or selling it.

[brittle warren]

what isnt working ill try to talk u through fixing it

for some reason my mod files arent showing up anywhere,can someone help me?

[brittle warren]

scroll up there should be more

[sly portal]

hold on

[brittle warren]

like onesd you have downloaded or ones you are makng and did u update the game?

[sly portal]

@brittle warren

[frank flare]

like when i go to beamng folders there should be a folder called mods and if i open it all my car mods should be there but theres no mod file

[brittle warren]

ok is there a folder called moved here?

[unique zealot]

chances are you got scammed

[sly portal]

it worked before the update

[unique zealot]

i mean with the patreon part of the mod

[sly portal]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brittle warren]

a lot of authors will still sell broken mods because it makes them money and thery dont care to update them

[frank flare]

im not on my pc rn i can check another time,can i text u privatley when im on my pc?

[brittle warren]

sure works for me bro

[sly portal]

maybe, what do you see in those screenshots btw?

[brittle warren]

im looking but the first one you sent i need to see the top of it

[brittle warren]

Ok look in the main jbeam and see if it shows something like this

and then in the engine jbeam look for this

[sly portal]

is the main jbeam the body?

[brittle warren]

nah it should just say the name.jbeam

[hoary stream]

Does anyone know how to do this?

[brittle warren]

try going back one folder

[brittle warren]

is it a paid mod?

[hoary stream]

No

The ibishu bx sedan is a free mod

[sly portal]

I can't find main.jbeam

[hoary stream]

And we did get perms to use it for me and @rocky heart 's mod

[brittle warren]

it would be like hltpf.jbeam

[brittle warren]

ok are u imoprting the dae?

[hoary stream]

I tried to save a config and upload that

What folder do I go to find the dae?

[sly portal]

found it

[brittle warren]

ok look for the section i screenshoted

[brittle warren]

Im not sure just open the mod folder and in the search bar type dae

[brittle warren]

hmm ok check the engine jbeam now

[sly portal]

it doesn't exist

[brittle warren]

so thers no controller section in it?

well powertrain not controller

[sly portal]

I looked in the powertrain one

yea \

[brittle warren]

"powertrain": [
["type", "name", "inputName", "inputIndex"],
["combustionEngine", "mainEngine", "dummy", 0],
],

put this in above slots and try reloading

[sly portal]

above huh?

[brittle warren]

like this

[sly portal]

good?

[brittle warren]

yesw i belive so now save that and reload the car with control r

also did u unpack the mod if not you will need to unpack it and then open it from the unpacked folder

[hoary stream]

I think I may have found a solution

I'll see if it works or not

[sly portal]

I'm repacking it rn

[brittle warren]

if you unpacked it in the game id just leave it unpacked while u test stuff

[sly portal]

I took it out of the mods folder and did it

[brittle warren]

ohhhh

id go in the mod manager and click unpack that way u can just test stuf and reload the car to see if it works its much faster

[sly portal]

I'll do that if it breaks again

@brittle warren same thing but the texture is gone now

[brittle warren]

what the hell lol does it drive tho? or

[sly portal]

no lol

texture works on this one but still nothin

are you sure it's correct

[brittle warren]

hmm i just joined his server and this is what he posted last month

[brittle warren]

yea thats right but something else must be broken

[sly portal]

hmmm alr

yea idk

[brittle warren]

Id join his server and ask probably get more help in there since he made the car

do you have a link to it?

[sly portal]

to his server?

[brittle warren]

yea

[sly portal]

no, I would need one

[brittle warren]

Ok i cant send it in here or i will get muted ill dm it to u

[sly portal]

alr

[brittle warren]

Sent hope you find a solution🫡

[crystal wraith]

anyone know how much i should scale this down? doesnt look right

this looks a little better, thoughts?

nvm, forgot i can just use one of these guys to judge it

[brittle warren]

Haha dummy for scale lol

Or u can hit f and use ur snoman

[crystal wraith]

can you ss?

[crystal wraith]

🤦‍♂️ duhh lol i forgot about that

[brittle warren]

It comes in handy a lot for me lol

[crystal wraith]

do you mean for example, a road is in blender but when exporting to beamng it isnt there? If so ive had that problem my self and dont know what to do, sorry

[brittle warren]

Try opening it in blender and checking the normals anything that is red will be invisible in beam

[crystal wraith]

ohhhh

i had this problem a bit ago.. all i did was move my map itself up higher and it somehow fixed it

yep, if you have any more issues ping me i can try to help to my best ablility

[cloud timber]

Does anyone know how to solve this problem with a false body?

[brittle warren]

it needs to have have 2 sets of faces it cant be just one face so in blender either use a solidify modifer or model the inside of the body

[dawn ibex]

how do you remove these "watery" patches on the ground? vehicle sinks into them and im assuming its a pbr thing

[neon ember]

I found the problem. Mixamo is bugged, when downloaded as FBX all is fine but when downloaded as Collada, Mixamo adds messed up Custom Split Normals to the model. I just cleared these with Blender.

[minor moth]

why is the mesh doing that

it has a group between fh3l st2 and fh3r

and its stretching to another random node in the body

[brittle warren]

oh lol i didnt realize u downloaded as collada yea u have to convert lol thats what i always did when i made mine

[blazing jetty]

You must add the terrain types from the library first I guess. If you have a little bit of time I could help you repairing your map. A good start for a map if you have no clue about the terrain materials is the tool by grille. You even can paint terrain in the right colour: https://www.beamng.com/threads/beamng_leveltemplatecreator-pbr-v0-4.98334/

this is the ingame pics

[brittle warren]

Um use gimp and try doing color to alpha and make it transparent

[acoustic ivy]

the dds and png it self is already transparent

[brittle warren]

Hmm then try changing the alpha modes in the material

[acoustic ivy]

how

[brittle warren]

one sec let me open up my game

[acoustic ivy]

i tried it and the best it can get is this

its still not transparent and it kinda broke my odometer texture

[brittle warren]

id say its due to your image not actually being transparent somehowugh it says it is

forget it brother ill just find another way thank you

its in your user folder, in documents

[obsidian quartz]

Hello, I am currently in the process of trying to swap the V8 from the Grand Marshal into the Miramar, the modeling and jbeam is mostly finished but for some reason the transmission is invisible. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. I am using the vanilla transmission as the transmission slot in the engine jbeam. Does anyone know what would be causing this? The Grand Marshal engine is using the same jbeam layout as the Miramar's. Has it got something to do with how the engine nodes are linked together therefore causing an issue with how the transmission is connected? I have only found one other discussion about this that was posted on the forums in 2019 with no solution and have also noticed that in the "Bruckell Legran Coupe + V8 1.1" mod the transmission is also invisible. I am very new to modding so it could easily be me being ignorant. Any knowledge about this would be much appreciated, thanks.

[obsidian quartz]

Everything works as intended apart from the flexbody/mesh.

[unique zealot]

i might not need it in fact

hows it now?

[river forge]

Sorry for the long wait lol, had to do some irl stuff but just got back and finished it!

Like I said I reworked the entire thing, only thing I kept is the coordinates of the nodes 😅
Some things I did:

• The nodes were missing properties (frictionCoef, collision, etc.). Not the end of the world as the game will just use some default values instead, but one very important one was a nodeGroup, which is what's also used to link the jbeam to your mesh. Which explains why your mesh wasn't behaving the same as the jbeam :P

• Renamed the nodes, as 1. the naming was very chaotic and 2. the simple f m r naming has the risk of overwriting vanilla nodes for some of the major components of the car (for example f is often used for the frame) - also the numbers on the old one made little sense to me

• Then did all the beams, straight, diagonal, and some double diagonal ones on the inside of the 'boxes'. It is still a very simple structure and doesn't really deform how I'd want, but at least the basic structure is there, hopefully it's a good basis for you to keep working on - main thing would be the properties of the beams, not my expertise unfortunately

• Lot of formatting, organising, adding comments (Mostly to make it easier to edit via text, again when using the Blender plugin it doesn't matter as much)

• And finally the jbeam seemed a bit offset to me, compared to pictures of how your mesh sits behind the cab. I noticed a y offset of 0.05 for the cab, so did that for the jbeam too. However it was also quite low so raised its z by 0.25, to line it up with the roof of the cab, just like the mesh seems to be in your pics. Might not be 100% accurate, but moving it a bit would be easy with the Blender plugin

Another 10/10 yapping session, hopefully some of this is helpful

[unique zealot]

fuck, thanks so much man

the only thing id change is the height as on the original image, the pump section isn't at roof height with the cab but the lockers are

i cant even find the image now

[river forge]

Ah yeah that was sort of guessing from the images lol, but it should work the same when moved a bit up or down

[river forge]

MfD discord I think

[unique zealot]

not even

[rocky heart]

how do you make a badge for a car? from what I can tell what i need to do is make a png of the badge replacement and make the game know to use it when i chose that part. is that even right>

[river forge]

Mostly material work, try looking at the vanilla badge materials. As for the rest, the model can just be simple flat square with that badge material applied to it, the material itself will do all the work. Give it a simple .jbeam with just the info, slottype, and flexbody (model), and tada. For that too, vanilla badges should be a great reference

[rocky heart]

and i should do that inblender?

[river forge]

The model, yes

[rocky heart]

ok cool. that seems fairly easy enough for my first mod. now i just need to find out how to get the vanilla badge model for reference, and how to make the new model, and how the .jbeam code works but there is probably info online for all of that. Thanks!

[river forge]

Vanilla files and https://documentation.beamng.com/modding always help me a lot

[rocky heart]

how do i find the vanilla reference file? i specifically need the rear badge file for the bx coupe

i tried looking through the user folders but all i found were the .jason files for the main matial and engine matierial

[river forge]

Vanilla car and level files are not in the userfolder, but in the game files. So where Steam installed the game to

BX files are in ...\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles\bx.zip\vehicles\bx\ here

.jbeam for the badges is bx_lettering.jbeam

And their models should be in bx.dae

[rocky heart]

thank you soo much

[unique zealot]

i am struggling to lower the jbeam

and the plugin wont save the right changes, when I lower it in blender and save, it won't

[river forge]

Huh, weird, worked fine for me

My workflow was:

• Save and close the .jbeam text file
• Open Blender, delete default stuff, import the .jbeam
• Select tje jbeam, go into edit mode (!), press A to select all nodes, move them, back into object mode, export the jbeam

[unique zealot]

like it recognises a change

[river forge]

Yeah just to be sure close the text version while messing with the blender version, and make sure youre in edit mode in blender

[obsidian quartz]

Hey Subie, know anything about invisible transmissions?

[unique zealot]

yeah its still not working

[obsidian quartz]

/flexbodies not showing.

[river forge]

Any errors in the console (`/~ button)?

[river forge]

Very weird. I can move it for ya if you want

[unique zealot]

you've done enough to help out, i can still find and replace the nodes

[rocky heart]

hm, im trying to open up the lettering.jbeam file in blender but it wont open, same for all the other .jbeam files and the bx.dae file

[river forge]

Use a text editor to open the jbeam files

As for the dae, in blender go to file>import>collada

[rocky heart]

oh the j.beam is code isnt it.... im very dumb

idk why but i though it was a model or smth. i need to do more reaserch

[obsidian quartz]

Yes, there is an error! "[NO-MATERIAL] Unable to find material mapping to: miramar.001 in unknown". Aswell as "FLEXBODY ERROR on mesh miramar_transmission: VX node not found".

[river forge]

Remove .001 from the material name in blender. Make sure you flexbody has the right nodeGroup assigned in the jbeam

[obsidian quartz]

The transmission that the engine is using is the vanilla unmodified one. I do not have the transmission loaded in blender.

[hybrid dune]

Are you trying to put a transmission from another vehicle into another vehicle. If so the node group names will need to reflect that.

Most transmissions will have 1 node that is for the transmission and the flexbody uses the rest of the engine nodes for rendering

[obsidian quartz]

And when I try to delete the .001 from the other parts blender just adds it back.

[river forge]

Use the drop down menu instead of renaming it

[unique zealot]

@river forge i cant thank you enough

now everything else

well,

fuck

[river forge]

flipped normals probably

https://3dmodels.org/blog/how-to-fix-normals-in-blender/ - dont use the recalculate option, just flip the individual faces

[unique zealot]

i do know already

thats not the case however, nor have i triangulated it

[river forge]

uhhhhhhhhh

[unique zealot]

i may see whats wrong

moved the rogue node

[obsidian quartz]

That did fix the first error but I am still getting "FLEXBODY ERROR on mesh miramar_transmission: VX node not found" thrown at me. Would that be referring to the node group?

[hybrid dune]

Yes its refering to the node group the mesh does not have enough nodes assigned to it for it to be able to generate the flexbody visually

What are you trying to do

[obsidian quartz]

I'm so confused, its the vanilla transmission. Would be having trouble with that because of the different engine its trying to connect to/use?

[hybrid dune]

Yes.

Each engine from each different car has a specified amount of nodes.

Each nodes will be in a group example "miramar_engine"

Your transmission most likely is still trying to call that group name but it doesn't exist due to a different engine group name

[obsidian quartz]

OH MY GOSH.

[obsidian quartz]

Okay, I will try to fix that. THANK YOU.

ok my next step is probably to add the doors

[obsidian quartz]

Thanks again! Got it working.

[hybrid dune]

No issues

[obsidian quartz]

Nope.

Would keeping the node group the same as the vanilla file comply with Beam.NG's rules about overwriting stuff?

[steady solar]

I'm starting work on a light controller that should work on almost any car. It's to do proper light shows like Teslas can do. Any feature recommendations/tips? I want to eventually have a UI app to have preset sequences so you wont have to press a button every time.

[unique zealot]

this is harder than it is

i add the flexbodies and it ruins the offset

nevermind

[brazen jetty]

What is the right way of adding a static object with colliders? Tried drag/drop a ramp from the asset browser to the game window, but I think that's just the texture or something, as collisions don't seem to work

[brittle warren]

Never make materials double sided

[brazen jetty]

Hm, also tried the "Create Static Mesh" menu item but didn't work either :/ Guessing I'm missing to set some attribute or something?

[river forge]

never say never, there is a reason it exists. i'd recommend only using it for flat and thin objects like mesh and grilles and whatnot. vanilla game uses it in those areas too from time to time

[brittle warren]

Well generally then not never🫡

[steady solar]

how do i get a custom category in the bindings menu on beam?

[brittle warren]

So i started over on my map and when i try to import my height map i click import and it lags for a second and then just doesnt import the terrain

[crystal wraith]

idk why you have a million other windows open, just give it a colision mesh in the inspector

[solemn cedar]

Anyone know how to make the smoke from an exhaust come out of the hood? I edited the exhaust from a d-series to come out of the hood, but the particles(smoke) are exiting from the rear bumper. It’s currently exiting from the red, I want it to exit from the blue.

[brittle warren]

[untold tree]

How do I make the me 262 mod behave like the b-25 (wing flex, engine flex, etc)

[dawn ibex]

going to have to elaborate a bit more than that with these guys

[untold tree]

What?

[hybrid dune]

different beam spring values and jbeam setups

[untold tree]

Where do i change that

[hybrid dune]

If you dont know anything about modding then its not a good idea to start there

[untold tree]

Ok

😦

[hybrid dune]

You need to understand atleast the fundamentals of jbeam.

Go to here and join the MDF discord server they have tutorials to introduce you to jbeam

[obsidian sphinx]

Hey fellas do anyone here seem to know how to use the Foreach flowgraph node? It seems to spew out a nil error for me saying something that the file I provided doesn't exists despite having the file on my project folder or something similar, I couldn't exactly pinpoint the issue.

Assuming that the elementFile variable seems to take a new flowgraph project, I did provided it some but it still screams an error for me. I may be doing something wrong on the flowgraph I provided for the elementFile variable or probably the Foreach node is bugged.

Thank you in advance to whoever answers, if the information is not enough I can supply a image of what the error looks like. Just ping me whenever its needed.

[little cedar]

How do I fix the steering wheel prop from doing this? I have the origin set to the centre of the steering wheel, but it seems to be rotating around the node

[dreamy smelt]

is there a Lua Reference published on the web somewhere? Browsed through the website and did a bunch of searching but only found guides/tutorials. Closest I found was https://documentation.beamng.com/beamng_tech/luaapi/ but is specifically for beamng.tech, not beamng.drive and also seems to be a placeholder.

Or am I missing something regarding how people do Lua development with beam.ng? Is there way of getting those docs/references from the game files/in-game perhaps?

[little cedar]

https://wiki.beamng.com/Lua_Reference-2.html
Is this it? It is based on the old docs though, not sure how up to date it is

It seems to have the same scripts and engines running as the newest version

This is from the new docs
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/programming/languages/

[dreamy smelt]

Thanks, I came across that earlier, but the huge warning kind of gave me the idea it's out of date and I should be using something else. It refers readers to "documentation.beamng.com" so I thought there would be some sort of Lua reference over there, but I cannot find it :/

[dreamy smelt]

but I guess I'll give that wiki a try and see if it's actually working or not, better than nothing I suppose

[little cedar]

Yeah, not everythings out of date yet
They seem to be using the same terminology thats said around today, and the way their VMs are set up for VLUA and GELUA seem to match

[little cedar]

How do I stop the steering wheel from rotating like this? i think I need to use a local axis, but even the local axis in blender does the same

[unique zealot]

Wheres the origin point in blender?

Best thing probably would be to apply all transforms

[river forge]

No, not for props

They need to have the origin point at the point in the model where you want it to rotate

[little cedar]

The origin point is in the middle

I have got the wheel to somewhat work, but its not rotating along the middle, so it goes up and down when it turns

Kind of got it working. Its just offcenter, and I do have the origin point in the middle. Anyone know how to fix?

[dry cargo]

what is a good blender guide to get started on?

[brittle warren]

For beam or in general cause you probably wanna get familiar with blender really well. But for blender go on YouTube and look up Blender Donut tutorial and it's pretty long but is extremely good place to start

[dry cargo]

well, mostly for beam but i do want to know blender well for other applications to. Ill google the blender donut tutorial thx!

[brittle warren]

Pretty much the only requirements for beam would be good topology which you will get better at as you learn blender more and more

[dry cargo]

No idea what that means lol, i geuss i will find out and try to properly know that!

[brittle warren]

Topology is your quads and tris like what makes up the shape of your object lol but you'll learn and hopefully become a great modder

[stark pulsar]

heya! I'm new (or basically not experienced at all) to modding in BeamNG

My main goal is to create an open wheel body for the bx with different kinds of front bumpers which can make it look like an old open wheel racecar or with those aero wing noses and cool wings and diffusers, reason why I wanna do it with the bx is because of campaign/career mode, so that you can get a good car for the time trials.

But that aside, since I don't want to dive into the hard stuff head first, what are some things that I can start off with in order to improve my understanding of how modding works? I basically only know how to change values

[warm sphinx]

Follow the basic modding tutorial in the documentation and or start by making things like widebody kits, bumpers and other minor part changes

[sand bison]

Is there a way to upload a dae file into blender without the jbeams becoming a solid mesh or am I sol

[tough grove]

I want to edit engine sounds here but these files are password protected

How can i access them

[little cedar]

You can't. It seems that the BeamNG Devs have an agreement that no one else can use the sounds. The only thing I can think of is recording onload and offload exhaust sounds, but that won't be good quality

[fickle ocean]

Are textures for the game encrypted just like the FLAC files?

Or otherwise messed with so you can't open them

[river forge]

Not at all

Are you trying to open one directly from a .zip?

[fickle ocean]

nope. i copied it from the zip into an actual folder and tried to open it

Converting to PNG seemed to work anyways

[river forge]

Hm, weird, Paint.net can open it just fine, as a .dds directly from the zip file

[heady trail]

Gimp can't handle BC7 encoding which is what most textures in beam use

Paint.net works fine tho

[pliant robin]

Transmission and Driveshaft not appeared

even i checked

[crystal wraith]

You should probably stick to making one car rather than switching them every day

[fickle ocean]

Surprised it has never been updated for that lol

[pliant robin]

i didnt switch to new one it is my previous projects

[neon ember]

Anyone know why the metal is not being cooked? i only see the roughness & normal maps being cooked.. so the model i imported does not look shiny or metalic. what am i doing wrong?

[neon ember]

and in the Material Editor I don't see any options to add metal map. what the heck

oh it's not automatic. i had to manually switch to PBR v1.5 and do some edits in the material editor. so yeah its not automatic. sadly doesn't look as metalic as in blender even on Ultra settings with RTX 4090 XD

[fickle ocean]

@woeful sleet I notice your CCF thumbnails are very close to the vanilla BeamNG style

Did you recreate the map or somehow get the actual one used?

I find a map called "Photoroom Light" but it's too dim and the angle is too low

Curious what you did for yours

[woeful sleet]

in the map selector, tick the “debug content” box

itll show some more maps, including showroom

that is where you, and the devs, can generate thumbnails

:)

[spring pawn]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask (and if it's not, please point me in the right direction), but I've just started playing with the flowgraph editor, and I'm attempting to make a flowgraph that will give me an idea of what my vehicle's trajectory might look like in the near future. So far I just have a flow that takes my vehicle's position and adds the velocity vector to it and draws a debug sphere at that location, but I'd like to have something that takes the vehicle's current acceleration into account (from accelerating, braking, steering, falling, etc) and draw the sphere in the location the vehicle would be if that acceleration continued. That way I can tell if I'm going to make a corner at a my current speed and steering angle, if I'm going to hit a wall or stop in time, stuff like that (I'm aware that it won't be perfectly accurate and I'm okay with that). I've played with the accumulator a little bit to see if I could get it to help me with this, but again, I've just started playing with flowgraphs so I'm very unaware of what they can and can't do and I was just hoping for someone to point me in the right direction.

[brittle warren]

Copy yhe jbeam and renam the jbeam to something u want, then inside the jbeam there will be section with the actual jbeam name change those too, and then change the name section of each one also

[gleaming falcon]

top jbeam, right?

[brittle warren]

yea

[gleaming falcon]

if i want to nuke the other two engines is this how the file should look like?

[brittle warren]

yes if u want to make your own change bolide_engine_3.9_v8 to whatever u want and then it will be its own thing

[gleaming falcon]

how do i make the mod appear? it's just in unpacked, folder named mod/vehicles/bolide/theenginething.jbeam

game doesnt see it as a mod

[brittle warren]

restart your game

[gleaming falcon]

did not think of that

usually it detects them fine but not this time

[brittle warren]

since you made a new folder while the game was running you have to restart it

[inner heart]

no, syntax error

[gleaming falcon]

line 1, right?

[inner heart]

change line 1 from } to {

[gleaming falcon]

thanks

[brittle warren]

I didnt even see that howed that happen if u just copied the original jbeam?

[gleaming falcon]

probably nuked something while chopping off the other two engines

[brittle warren]

ohhhhhh

i suggest get vscode with the jbeam plugin for jbeam syntax

or atleast get json syntax highlighting

MIGHT complain too much about trailing comma and comments but heh

yeah i gotta set up vscodium one day

well the engine appears. thats good

[brittle warren]

now set the tourqe values to 10000 and blow some shit up lol

my idea was just to fuck with the engine, change the sounds and basically turn it into a whole different engine

Go for it what u going for

[gleaming falcon]

speaking of sounds, i've fucked with a few automation exported engines and figured out kind of how sound works, but i've got absolutely no clue how to change it for this

Hi, is there someone who is willing to help me with a project?

I'm willing to make most of the NFS liveries for cars. But some cars like the R8 mod which will be Darius's from Carbon, doesn't have a UV map. If someone is willing to help me with creating stuff like that I'll appreciate it alot

[distant pendant]

is there a paint option in the slots for the car mod?

creating a "good" skin uv requires alot of time and work.
if the mod doesn't even have a slot for it you'll have to add a slot type for it
you'll need to create materials and skin json for it
and latestly you'll need to uv the model for a skin.

it's rare to find someone thats willing to help you with such a task

[stoic geyser]

anyone know why my bushes, trees etc now have hard ass collisions.

[keen notch]

you need to add leaves_thin or leaves_strong as material

[stoic geyser]

They have leaves_thin as the material but still hard ass

[keen notch]

you have added this material on your map?

[stoic geyser]

No

Basegame bushes etc

oh my fucking god there's a DISCORD PING in my engine sounds
meant to post this in #mods-discussion so ignore that this is in help

[midnight elk]

They dont, but after some digging around i found 3D Models of the cars directly done with livery and bodykits. Now im trynna see if i can make something work from that, any suggestions?

[stark pulsar]

is it possible to make a hidden/invisible downforce part? I'm disappointed that one of the mods I've downloaded doesn't have front bumper downforce, resulting in very funny effects

[fickle ocean]

So I have an engine i'm going to mod in and it's dyno curve

However, it's turbocharged

So obviously I can set the curve how I want, but the turbocharger will add more power since i'm only setting the NA power.

Is there a way to calculate the NA power and then create a turbo that adds exactly the power of the real engine?

[distant pendant]

See the post i posted after that

[night compass]

How do I get the hood/roof to be the same amount of darkness as the bumper?

(same with back bumper being darker than the roof, want to make roof dark too)

[fickle ocean]

why is the lady from pokemon driving it lol

[hushed bridge]

why is my asphalt brown in wcusa

i just painted this

other asphalt is normal

[brittle warren]

i think its something to do with base colors of the map

[night compass]

its cute lol

[brittle warren]

its ambient occlusion and shadows they will never be the same darkness.

[night compass]

Ambient occlusion doesn't make it any less dark tho

Turned those off, still bumpers darker than hood

[brittle warren]

Then they are eithert using different materials or the shading is messed up in blender

[night compass]

Id love to see how to fix it...

[brittle warren]

Is it your mod?

[night compass]

Misty would 100% drive a dark blue Dodge Magnum

No

[brittle warren]

Then you will have to ask the author to fix it

[fickle ocean]

i want to make it close to the real curve while being biturbo like it is

Anyone know why this is happening

[ember cliff]

whats a vy node😭

[sturdy sleet]

any tips on how to fix broken window textures?

[river forge]

Mod probably uses a glass material that was changed in an update, ask the creator to fix it (change material name and uv maps)

[sturdy sleet]

Creator is long gone. This mod was made in like 0.25 then reworked in 0.28. and now im tryna fix it but i barely know shit bout textures

[river forge]

Send it over, I can give it a quick fix, nothing fancy but at least making the glass look normal

[sturdy sleet]

Sure will. Let me hop on my PC

[rancid wedge]

so I am making a roll cage that covers this door, how do I make it so that the door can't be opened when it's installed? Do I have to add a whole new fake door with coupler nodes that nobody finds and make it do the "open other side first"?

[still canopy]

ig just delete the open door thing

but that would require me adding a second door option that does not open, the idea was for it to automatically lock that. but yea might be what I have to do

[tepid sable]

Hello do you know how to remove this bad node that appeared like this ? (node [29]), its name is not found in the entire mod folder

pls help

[tacit halo]

is this a covet jbeam?

[tepid sable]

Yes it has been edited

[tacit halo]

to test, remove everything thats not the bare chassis

[tepid sable]

ok

this nodes comes from the right back window

yet there is no error in jbeam

[minor moth]

does the quarterglass have some special scra0 in it

it shouldnt have any nodes

[tepid sable]

No

I found, no name nodes

thanks for helping me 🙏

good

[acoustic ivy]

can anyone help me

history: the jbeam sucks its using the roamer jbeam and i tried to adjust the whole body to match the jbeam now i tried doing nodemove to the suspensions but the whole car breaks

i suck at jbeams

[minor moth]

yeah game does that

its labelled that since its the next node thats unlabeled

pressurewheels nodes have no labels for example

[tepid sable]

👍

[little portal]

why are the nodes in the game lower than the 3d model, even though theyre the same height in the preview

[unique zealot]

its not saving them correctly

i think its an issue with the blender plugin

[little portal]

I am not saving it thru the blender plugin

i loaded in the jbeam and 3d model thats it

[acoustic ivy]

can anyone help me with this shaking part i check its from the bumper its not shaking when i remove it

[fickle ocean]

sometime incorrect node weight causes things to shake

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/BadVibrations.gif

6kg vs 7kg node weight

[acoustic ivy]

how do i fix that

[fickle ocean]

Does it allow actually editing in-game?

A sort of UI app to adjust the set points would be great

Because I can make curves just fine. I"m talking about the compensation for turbos

since turbos don't really have fine tuning.... it's just how much pressure happens here and there

and then some calculation adds it on. it seems to be really guesswork what you'll actually get

[river forge]

...by changing the nodeWeight? :P

[acoustic ivy]

oh okay ty

[fleet drum]

Yo guys! I'm a bit new to modding. I was making a map in version 0.32, but when i updated to the newest version the map didn't want to open (cannot find main.level.json file). So then i changed the name of the map in the directory, it now opens but a lot of textures are missing. Do i have to manually change their location of the material or am i doing something wrong?

[little portal]

just mass replace whatever needs to be changed

How do I import gta car models into blender ?

[hardy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl2WXB42qVg
this is what i use, you do need to own the game though

[halcyon spear]

I need to own GTA to use the models?

Because I have gta.

I downloaded a 2011 ford escape I was gonna redo it and make it a mod but Idk how-

is shows as random ahh numbers

[hardy zinc]

well the video is what i use, just do what the video says

[halcyon spear]

Im confused.... The one I downloaded has none of that.. It has ELC scrips ect-

[hardy zinc]

is that a FiveM mod?

[halcyon spear]

Prob 😭

Let me look for another

Uhhhh

@hardy zinc Is that good or bad

[river forge]

The addon folder will have an rpf in it somewhere

Use codewalkers rpf explorer to open it and export the model (.yft inside the .rpf), as the tutorial shows

[river forge]

Yeah

[hardy zinc]

yes

[halcyon spear]

Ok

Ima try this in a bit

Ima take a brake

[little portal]

For some reason my wheels are all loose on the hub, front wheels move but dont steer, and the rear wheels also go side to side

Which is funny because its unedited bastion suspension

am trying to insert a Japanese beep for the Ibishu Wigeon anyone know where can I find the sound node?

[brittle warren]

Its probably whatever node you set it too

[sand dune]

uh sorry am kinda new to modding, where can I find that? or can i just randomly type some figures in it 💀

[brittle warren]

well id assume it just plays a sound from whatever node you chose so in your jbeam find a node near where you want the sound to come from and set it as that

[river forge]

Yup

Car is made out of nodes, with beams between em. Hit ctrl+N ingame to see all the node names

[sand dune]

ohhh ic alr

[river forge]

And then take whichever one you want the sound to come from, and enter that in that field

[sand dune]

owhhhh ic alr then

thanks for the help guyss really appreciate it

[stark pulsar]

good morning! how do you add beamnavigator on a map?

[tight sail]

tryna make custom spoiler for bastion (this is my first time modding) do you know why there rambar and taxi roof part is there?

[gentle fox]

what you can see here are all parts of the bastion. to make a mod you only want your spoiler on its own in a .dae file.
Also: Do not modify the original parts, copy and make a new one in mods/unpacked/modname/vehicles/bastion/ so nothing gets overwritten

[frozen gyro]

Everytime I accelerate, the car does this. is it because the electric motor doesn't have any nodes, thus having no weight? and how can I fix this?

[fickle ocean]

What is the VY node I am missing? All I did was edit jbeam and the model

Didn't remove anything

also, would be nice if vehicle instability tracker gave useful information lol

Stress debug + slow motion

[heady trail]

The vy node is one node that beam tries to grab automatically that's basically the anchor of the flexbody

E.g. if all nodes are in one line you won't be able to attach a rope mesh to it easily

[gentle fox]

To me this looks like an issue with the suspension

[still prism]

[merry crystal]

Is there anyway to fix the orientation being like this or nah?

[crystal wraith]

Why does your blender look so different?

[tight sail]

i used light mode

[crystal wraith]

Oh

Makes it look old Lol, but not bad

[river forge]

Select all the red faces, then go to Mesh > Normals > Flip normals

[hybrid dune]

Adding on to SubieBerry comments you can also select all and then normals flip outside

Should correct oriented all of them them

[merry crystal]

ohh wait nvm i fixed it i think, i just recalculated the normals

and it worked

[crystal wraith]

Anyone know how to make a road feel like asphalt, but a little slippery like snow aswell? It’s an assetto port so it’s just a .dae, not a mesh or decal road

Or like dirt+snow

[brittle warren]

Set the material type to asphalt

[crystal wraith]

But I want it to feel like snow aswell, not just asphalt

[brittle warren]

set it to mud

[winter aurora]

Can anyone tell me what that means. I made a bumper for the lansdale, got everything right. Got the parts selector to work. When I select it, that’s what comes up and the bumper dosent appear

[fickle ocean]

Could you help me with this JBEAM?

Just show me where that is so I can fix it

[crystal wraith]

How would I make a camera flashing effect, is anyone able to help me without me being at my pc

[crystal wraith]

And I don’t need to to light up the ground, I just want the camera lense to appear as it’s flashing

Not lense but that little part that flashes

[winter aurora]

How do I correct the placing on this. I used the tubular bumper jbeam file to make this work. But the placing is all wrong

[crystal wraith]

Ranch hand minivan 😭

[winter aurora]

yes lol

I’m new to this man, I need help

[crystal wraith]

I wish I could help but I only know stuff about maps

[brittle warren]

move the flexbody to match where it should be

[winter aurora]

Where and how do I do that?

[brittle warren]

blender that how you made it in the first place isnt it?

[winter aurora]

Yes, so move the model to match where it should be is what you’re saying?

[brittle warren]

yea

[winter aurora]

Nothing changes when I move it

[brittle warren]

did you re export it?

[winter aurora]

Yeah, should I close my game and reopen it?

[brittle warren]

shouldnt need to maybe try reloading the car like respawn it from the verhicles menu

[winter aurora]

Nah that didn’t do it either. I noticed that, I have it being selected under front bumper support, but I didn’t think that’d be an issue cuz that’s where the tubular front bumper is. I just copied the jbeam file, and my names into it

[brittle warren]

maybe move the jbeam with node move then:?

[winter aurora]

How would I do that? Also I jus check the nodes aren’t lined up with the bumper either, however they look they are where the bumper is supposed to be

[brittle warren]

Then you njeed to move the mesh it will move if you do it right are you exporeting it to the actual mod folder

[winter aurora]

Not directly, i exported it to projects folder then just moved it into the mod folder

[brittle warren]

import the one from the mod folder directly and then export it backl to the same dae

[winter aurora]

That didn’t work either

Would this orange dot have anything to do with it

[brittle warren]

yea click object at the top leeft and then apply and then apply all transforms then export it

[winter aurora]

That did it, thank you sir

[winter aurora]

Made progress, how do I fix the textures on the bumper

[fickle ocean]

If you mean the texture isn't positioned correctly, you'll have to edit the UVs in blender so they're positioned correctly

there is a UV editing tab at the top

[winter aurora]

Do you know any good tutorials to show me how to do that

[brittle warren]

Well I'd just look it up on yt cause there's not a like 100% everyone does it this way kinda thing

[neon ember]

Hello in may 2024 blender foundation made the announcement to mark COLLADA file format to LEGACY and it will be removed from the export option in Blender 5.0. What is the plan of BeamNG, will they start switching to FBX as the main format instead of DAE? https://devtalk.blender.org/t/moving-collada-i-o-to-legacy-status/34621

[dark current]

how can i edit the color of the gauges of a car? like when you turn your headlights on and the light come on in the inside

[brittle warren]

They probably gonna go to glb/gltf since they already have agltf exporter in the game

[neon ember]

but as of now we can only import mods that are DAE?

[brittle warren]

Yea dae isnt gonna leave beam anytime soon seeing as everything uses it they will have to convert the whole game.

[fickle ocean]

the good news is

at least 4.5 LTS will supposedly have DAE support

an LTS build with DAE is good

The problem is DAE has various security vulnerablities mostly related to things bundled into the model file like with FBX

DAE also only supports triangles which makes some modeling difficult

[tacit halo]

you can export daes without triangulation tho?

How can I get the car mirror to recognize custom cubemaps

For example if I move the camera up/down, what's displayed on the mirror (this image) changes if you move the camera. So if you move the camera up, the color goes from light blue to yellowish, go down, it's blue, brown, black

Kind of hard to explain

[brittle warren]

If the mirrors are set to dynamic they already do

[night compass]

i mean if you disable dynamic mirror, with custom cubemap of pngs

dynamic mirror only works closeup

[brittle warren]

Hmm ive been looking and cant seem to figure out how the cubemap is loaded still looking tho

Anyone know why when doing an assetto port, the ground texture is so dark like this? This happens sometimes, not sure how to fix it

That’s how it should maybe look at night time, but that’s during the “day”

It should also be snowy lol

Also, does anyone possibly know a workaround for this, after importing to blender around the track is just grey, kinda pisses me off

Try changing the metalic values in the material editor?

turn up the beam strenght

[acoustic ivy]

by how much

[brittle warren]

idk until it doesnt break or set it to "FLT_MAX" then it wont break ever

[acoustic ivy]

then its boring

[brittle warren]

then set it to a value that doesnt break immidietly

[acoustic ivy]

can you give me a rough amount

[brittle warren]

idk i dont know what u have it at now just experiment go up another 100000

[acoustic ivy]

bruh

ok

[brittle warren]

It may be a forest item

[hard cobalt]

it isnt

[hard cobalt]

the building is in asset browser and i can spawn it but i just cant delete one that was originaly on the map

[brittle warren]

then its probably a forest item all the forest items are in the asset browser try clicking the forest tools and then click erase and see if that deletes it

[hard cobalt]

aint working

[brittle warren]

Well whose map is it?

its a polish roads map

Im trying to put this light bar onto my car, just completely ripping it off of the race truck and for some reason my car completely explodes and stops the simulation, ive made a slot for it and moved the jbeam, anyone know what could be wrong?

[river forge]

Just moving the jbeam won't do much, you'll have to edit it a bit to make it actually attach to a different car

Though I'm not sure why that'd cause an instability, do you have any errors related to those lights in the console (which you can open with the `/~ key)?

[hard cobalt]

i like selected it by draging on it and i got a house selected and some kind of free camera thing?

when i delete it i cant move in editor

theres way to like unselect it or something?

[novel wagon]

not what i can see

[novel wagon]

ive done the same with just a plain flat led bar and that worked but not with the round ones

[river forge]

Yeah that's an issue with the jbeam structure itself

[stoic raven]

what exactly defines a police car in game? i have all the police parts on the car but none of the traffic start running, i switched over to the car i borrowed the parts from and a car started running within 30 seconds of me driving

[river forge]

The config will need an info file with the line "Config Type":"Police"

Usually they contain a lot of other info too, not sure if the file would work with just that line, but I don't really see why not. Try putting this file in your userfolder/0.34/vehicles/carname/, and renaming it to whatever the config name is (for example info_d15_M.json - the same as what the configs .pc file is called but with info_ in front of it)

If that doesn't work you'll have to get a proper info file, just ping me and I'll write down how :)
