Is there a way to make the map bigger? smoothly. Like the world borders?

[neon ember]

Hi why does this happen? when I zoom in/out they swap with the other object. the pole is a child to the signage object. i know its not a child/parent problem since i also have a working DAE file with a flag and a pole where pole was a child to the flag. so it must be something else. Also face normals are correct.

[neon ember]

ah looks like parenting only works when you parent the main object to an armature. but if there is no armature involved then you have to join all the meshes into one object.

[royal crater]

I'm parsing though v.data.beams and I'm printing out some contents. I'm finding that the beam number seems correct, but the node1/2 value doesn't seem to be the node's cid. What am I doing wrong?

[royal crater]

okay I've found that node1/2 are not the values I seek, but instead id1/id2. Can someone please explain the difference?

[tacit halo]

cant you see a pattern in the values that node1/2 gives that you any clue to that? might it have to do something with node types/ if its collidable or not?

[royal crater]

oh maybe, I assumed that'd be one of the other strings in the v.data.nodes instead

[onyx osprey]

Hi guys, how are you? Can someone help me? I made a map of Ebisu, but for some people it's giving the problem that no object loads and that purple icon appears that says "No Mesh", but I've already reviewed all the files, I made the mod pack through modmanager, and it works normally in my game, if someone experienced can test it and tell me what I should do I would be very grateful, I'll leave the dlllink

How come there aren't any tutorials on how to make moving collision meshes? I can't find any tutorials. How did they figure out how to do stuff like this?

[scarlet cedar]

thats a real physics object

and a real bad video

[neon ember]

what do you mean bad video? XD I just made a low quality gif from the video haha. Do you know of any tutorials on how to make such animated physics objects? I'm really confused why there aren't any tutorials on youtube. like literally zit

[tacit halo]

bad video as in crappy overdone shitty youtube shorts using haha crash funny as its entire "punchline"

[neon ember]

oh yeah true story. lots of this crappy shorts getting millions of views for garbage content. really eff-up i know lol. but i found out they use "hydros" and "rotators" but I wonder how they figured that stuff out without any decent tutorials.

[scarlet cedar]

for 1:1 stuff u want to reacreate u can just use that n change the mesh or something

but for finding those out theres documentation, reverse engineering, and a whole lot of trial and error

[little portal]

Is there a simplefunction for glowmaps for drivingmodes?

[heady trail]

different levels of detail that dont match up

it looks like the pole and sign are different objects, if you merge them the mesh will show properly

[heady trail]

you cannot do moving collision meshes

any dynamic collision has to be done with another vehicle/prop

[hard gyro]

For the nodes in a Jbeam, which direction is forward and backward?
I understand what the XYZ stuff is I’m just unsure how it’s oriented on the vehicle

Nvm I got it. However I have a new question.

I’m working on making a certain modded bed work with the prerunner chassis for the dseries. How would I go about editing the model so the bed floor is just, like, not there?

(Not publishing, just trying stuff)

[proud sierra]

anyone able to tell me why it isnt showing up ingame?

[river forge]

What's your file structure?
Should be
userfolder/0.34/mods/unpacked/modname/vehicles/bluebuck/ files go here or in subfolder
- or -
userfolder/0.34/mods/modname.zip/vehicles/bluebuck/ files go here or in subfolder

And do you get any errors in the console? (`~ key)

[proud sierra]

well everything shows up other than this part

No errors involving the mod

And it has the correct structure

The part is selected and everything

[proud sierra]

im about to just connect it to the axle

lol

[hard gyro]

I’ve encountered a problem.
So I’ve successfully transplanted a bed onto the desert/off-road dseries chassis. However, when I remove the long tail, and instead put on the bobtail, the rear of the bed sags and hits the ground.

I’m pretty sure I’m missing something in the jbeam but not exactly sure what. What points/nodes/beams/whatever should the chassis have to hold the bed in proper place?

[hard gyro]

Unsure why these nodes and beams are so floppy. They’re not supposed to be

I’d like to figure this out today if possible

[brittle warren]

not enough support geometry

[hard gyro]

Well duh but I took the geometry from one frame and added it to another so I could use a specific bed on that frame

@brittle warren
I’m taking the tiny bed from gamers dseries pack, and putting it on the Off-road frame.
I’ve got the proper beams and nodes and such from the frame the bed originally goes on and put it into this frame so it doesn’t go flaccid as soon as it spawns.

[brittle warren]

add a beam between f10r and f19r and tha same on the other side

[hard gyro]

Wait. I can just add beams without it being super finicky?

It’s as simple as just entering A and B?

[brittle warren]

yea

[hard gyro]

Oh

hate myself

[brittle warren]

should work just fine

[hard gyro]

Ok, and if the bed starts vibrating rapidly before I do this, it should stop after I do that right?

[brittle warren]

hopefully it may be other things doing it

[tame parrot]

how do i make beams weaker on a mod I'm trying to edit? they take too much force to break

[brittle warren]

beam strength

[tame parrot]

do you know any tools i could use to make doing this easier i feel like theres an easier way than notepad

[brittle warren]

vs code with the jbeam addon but you still gotta do it number by number

[hard gyro]

Wow this is complex as hell. Trying to figure out where to write these new beams makes me wanna cry

Or does it really matter where in the jbeam as long as it’s in the beams section?

[brittle warren]

find f19r to f20r and put em in that section so it uses the same values as those beams

[hard gyro]

Ok thanks

I’m seeing notes in the jbeam like “vertical” or surficial crossing

Do I need my new ones to strictly follow that?

[brittle warren]

nah you dont have to as long as where you put em doesnt make it explode or anything

just kinda trial and error really

[hard gyro]

Ok. Perfect. crossing beams I assume is bad?

[brittle warren]

i think crossing is the ones going side to side

but i could be wrong i make my own jbeams so im not sure honestly lol

[hard gyro]

I mean like, if I’m crossing a square, the two center beams can intersect or will it explode?

[brittle warren]

beams can intersect as long as they dont have collision triangles

[hard gyro]

Oh ok.

Yeah not messing with that just tryna make it not floppy lol

[brittle warren]

nodes have collision beams dont also triangles have collisions but if you dont specifically put it in the tris section it will be fine

[hard gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-gif-1614955667706199731

[tame parrot]

the beam I'm trying to edit stretches really far before breaking how do i make that not happen? is it spring expansion?

[brittle warren]

beam long bound i believe

[royal crater]

if I have 2 node names in lua, how do I find the accompanying beams? I'm thinking it's through v.data.beams, but does it really have to sort through tables of tables, or is there a quicker way? like obj:getBeam(id1, id2)?

[royal crater]

"beamType" also plays a part of this https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/beams/ Usually each part that's made by devs will have multiple beamTypes for different reasons. If you're just adding beams to copied code (like I often do), then make sure you're adding it under the right beamType

[hushed current]

Hi all, my sideskirts material isn't matching to the original 200bxs, The original has the material as this:

But then I have mine as this:

(wrong pic before, this is the proper one) but they are black

nevermind, was uv map

where is the ref for beamng because i cant find it

[brittle warren]

wym ref?

[hushed current]

uv map ref

for liveries and such

to make livery fit on custom model

[brittle warren]

in the main car folder

[hushed current]

thanks\

thanks @brittle warren

[hushed current]

@brittle warren UV is on

but appears as this?

[brittle warren]

ummmm thats odd im not much of a skin person so im not sure check it with the color image and se where it lines up maybe

[hushed current]

(forgot to highlight the actual object on uv)

[hushed current]

ok im so fucking confused now

even the offical beamng model isnt uv mapped properly but looks fine ingame

[brittle warren]

Hmm that is confusing

Is your uv on later 1 or 0 in blender

[viral juniper]

This is because the skins use the second UV map, not the first one.

[hushed current]

So which one do I go off of?

[hushed current]

confusion

[viral juniper]

Click the plus button

[hushed current]

did

[viral juniper]

Click on the second UV map that you've created after clicking on the plus, and then any changes you make in the UV editor will modify the second uv map separately

[hushed current]

Do i name it?

[viral juniper]

You don't need to, it doesn't matter what it's named

[hushed current]

Alrighty,

Thanks @viral juniper

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @viral juniper (current: #371 - 7)

[viral juniper]

No problem

[hushed current]

@viral juniper im having bit of an issue

its over the map ob bx_skinuv.png

but looks like this ingame

the 2nd ones selected

[viral juniper]

Probably because your first uv map is in the wrong spot

[hushed current]

so how do i put that one then

1st ones in the same position

named n everything

[viral juniper]

First uv map shouldn't be there

Check where the vanilla bumper's first UV is located

[hushed current]

Did that and it still messed up

[hushed current]

could it be something in jbeam

also shape of bumper is messed up idk why

oh wait it wasnt messed up b4 what happen

whenever load normal

loads normal but when you spawn

bend?

fixed the bending jbeam

[inner heart]

beam use 2 uv maps for their vehicle body panels

the first is the "base texture" (made up concept)

the second is the livery (which you use the uv map for)

you need to fix the first uv map, so grab the different bx_main_*.dds and load them in blender

[inner heart]

thats the "livery" layer

the first uv map (the one at top(no the number behind the name nor the name matters)) is the "base texture"

[hushed current]

which bx_main do i go off of

[inner heart]

... what are the names of them again

[inner heart]

thx

you want the normal so you know the real edges, you want the b color so uhhh its color

those 2 are the minimal

[hushed current]

so where tf is the bumper in this mess

[inner heart]

but ao is ambient occlusion, c.data is uhhh forgor, cc.data is forgor, m.data is metalic, p.color is the primary secondary etc color mask, r.data is roughness

[inner heart]

you dont try to re-find it, you grab the original bumper and see its uv map

[hushed current]

soo heres beamngs

[inner heart]

or you collapse the uv into a singularity and shove in somewhere body color in the bound of some "panel normals"

[hushed current]

nvm found it ima try

well thats definetly the spot but its kinda weird because its like a crimed bumper

[inner heart]

... you might just get away by collapse the uv into a singularity (scale 0) and shove in somewhere bodypanel colored and flat normal

you lose the smothed edges around the part, but ppl barely notice it

[hushed current]

theres these little discrepancies and the uv looks alright

[inner heart]

check the normal map

that also matters

[hushed current]

as i thought yep somethings there

[inner heart]

again, if the normal map doesnt serve you well, a singularity can help

just let the vertex deal with normal ❤️

[hushed current]

its fixed thanks man

jbeam getting caught by popups??

\

nvm fixed it

[royal crater]

can you use lua to highlight beams in debug mode?

I can't use breakBeam because some of them are in breakGroups, making it really hard/impossible to figure it out

[slow glen]

Good time of day. Why does the car stop braking almost completely when the Brake Torque and Parking Torque values are increased? In the Jbeam with brakes, I changed the Brake mass values to a plausible one (which I see myself)

But I'm setting it up for a very fun car, the wheels are larger in diameter than the Gavril Roamer car itself.

[royal crater]

mass is more about thermals, I don't believe it actually effects kinetic energy in any way (documentation says "thermal inertia")

However larger wheels will affect how effective the breaks are drastically if they increase dramatically.

also make sure you haven't made mistakes in your code, and make sure to check the terminal for errors with ~

[slow glen]

There are no errors or warnings in the console (except that I built in the change of car values ​​from AgentY, there is an error with Lua, but the car itself works, but I think it does not matter) I noticed that when pressing the brake, the front wheels turn to the inside. Only by reducing the Brake torque value (about 2000 Nm) the car begins to brake somehow. And I also edited the ABS rate values, it was set to 50 Hz, I set it to 150 Hz

[royal crater]

it's possible that your front to rear brake balance is so far out that the ABS is interfering. Try turning it off then seeing if the wheels will lock up

[slow glen]

This has changed the situation a little for the better, but the wheels won't lock. But I probably forgot to add that I increased the wheel grip by 1000 times.

[royal crater]

oh, so you're being silly, then be silly by adding more brakes

[slow glen]

Initially, I put 50,000 Nm on the Brake Torque, how much can I add to the value so as not to break the Beamng 🙂

[tacit halo]

just do control B and see which values arent used or barely have anything showing (like dampcutoffHZ thats barely used) and see if you can set it on lua or on jbeam

[royal crater]

that would help. I managed to set the beam length ratio, pause the game, set it to stress, then see which ones light up when I activated the function lol It really felt like a workaround

[neon ember]

BeamNG deforms a legit mesh. Any ideas? This mesh was already decimated with the Decimate modifier in blender and there are no overlapping vertices and face normals are correct. Whats going on 😦

ahh could it be because i just swapped the default ball prop with a face mesh? and somewhat the nodes are sagging at that point since i did not change the nodes.

[royal crater]

if the face isn't meant to deform with the eye moving, then it's likely that you've applied the wrong group to the flexbody, or the group includes the wrong nodes.

this is under the assumption that this is something you spawn, instead of a map object

[tacit halo]

my school computer doesnt particularly like this buuut its coming out quite well
ill share pics ingame whenever i put the bakes ingame

[scarlet cedar]

hot

[royal crater]

does anyone know how to get live camber and toe into lua?

[hushed mulch]

Have you tried looking through the "Advanced Wheels Debug" UI to see what they do there?

[royal crater]

yeah, but I can't see a direct link

[hushed mulch]

Hmm...

[royal crater]

in the js file is just says w.camber, and in the lua it says it's in a table that's updated live, but I'm struggling to find it

[tacit halo]

in the js file of the advanced wheels debug?

[hushed mulch]

Yeah good question, the data for the app must come from somewhere, and that somewhere is a stream.

[tacit halo]

if thats not what you are talking about
just look inside the ui app

[hushed mulch]

This is the JS file:

angular.module('beamng.apps')
.directive('advancedWheelsDebug', [function () {
  return {
    template:
    `<div style="height:100%; width:100%;" class="bngApp md-padding">
      <table style="width:100%">
        <thead>
          <tr style="text-align: left;">
            <th style="width: 20%; text-align: center;">Name</th>
            <th style="width: 20%">Camber</th>
            <th style="width: 20%">Toe</th>
            <th style="width: 20%">Caster</th>
            <th style="width: 20%">SAI</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody ng-if="data && data.length > 0">
          <tr ng-repeat="w in data | orderBy: 'name' track by $index">
            <td class="md-body-2" style="text-align: center;">{{ w.name }}</td>
            <td class="md-body-1">{{ w.camber | number: 3 }}</td>
            <td class="md-body-1">{{ w.toe | number: 3 }}</td>
            <td class="md-body-1">{{ w.caster | number: 3 }}</td>
            <td class="md-body-1">{{ w.sai | number: 3 }}</td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    </div>`,
    replace: true,
    restrict: 'EA',
    scope: true,
    controller: ['$log', '$scope', function ($log, $scope) {
      var streamsList = ['advancedWheelDebugData']
      StreamsManager.add(streamsList)

      function register() {
        bngApi.activeObjectLua('extensions.advancedwheeldebug.registerDebugUser("advancedWheelDebugApp", true)')
      }

      register()

      $scope.$on('streamsUpdate', function (event, data) {
        $scope.$evalAsync(function () {
          $scope.data = data.advancedWheelDebugData || null
        })
      })

      $scope.$on('VehicleReset', register)
      $scope.$on('VehicleChange', register)

      $scope.$on('$destroy', function () {
        StreamsManager.remove(streamsList)
        bngApi.activeObjectLua('extensions.advancedwheeldebug.registerDebugUser("advancedWheelDebugApp", false)')
      })

    }]
  }
}]);

[royal crater]

so how would I access a stream in lua?

[tacit halo]

@royal crater have you seen if its stored as an electrics variable

you can check by running dump(electrics)

[royal crater]

I searched all the lua files for "camber" and didn't have much luck

[hushed mulch]

It's in a separate variable I think.

[hushed mulch]

Issue is I don't think they can be used in a LUA file, they might be for UI only.

[royal crater]

I'm thinking it might be too, though it's weird that it's not accessible.

Also how do you do that dump stuff? I put it in, but it doesn't really return stuff. Your ui looks different

[tacit halo]

run it on the vehicle lua

not the game lua

[hushed mulch]

It isn't mine though, it's an old picture from the old references.
https://wiki.beamng.com/Streams.html

[royal crater]

oh

[royal crater]

heeey there we go, thanks

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @tacit halo (current: #52 - 57)

[hushed mulch]

When I dump it, it looks like this:

[tacit halo]

wait @royal crater i have an idea

what if you clone the advanced wheels debug

then instead of printing w.camber you just print w

[royal crater]

I'm thinking I'll just copy it from the lua section

huh?

[tacit halo]

nah nvm i dont think that would work

[hushed mulch]

Issue is he still wouldn't get it in a LUA file...

[royal crater]

I'm looking at "advancedwheeldebug.lua" and I see a lot of stuff here, but I'm not sure how to access it, or if I even can (still don't know much about lua), but I'm trying

[tacit halo]

try wheeldata.camber

[royal crater]

tried that

[hushed mulch]

I guess that would tie in with this? https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/programming/extensions/

And from there be able to like "call" the data?

Wait nevermind?

[royal crater]

I'm just printing out all tables like v.data.wheels to see if I can find stuff lol no luck, I might just have to re-create it the same way they did

[hushed mulch]

Dang, it must be in a table somewhere, but the thing is just finding it.

[tacit halo]

yes ive arrived at that conclusion myself

[tacit halo]

no i think its calculated based on node positons that are stored in v.data.wheels

[hushed mulch]

Could be.

[royal crater]

this is what gave me hope, but I think I'll just forget about it, and do it myself

[hushed mulch]

But since it's sent in a stream I would think it would've been somewhere.

It could also be in these tables, if they still exist.

[royal crater]

just noticed this.... I have no idea what I'm looking at though

[hushed mulch]

No idea either, can you trace back that data variable?

[tacit halo]

ive arrived at this ```
local vectorForward = obj:getDirectionVector()
local vectorUp = obj:getDirectionVectorUp()
local vectorRight = vectorForward:cross(vectorUp)
for _,wd in pairs(v.data.wheels) do
local name = wd.name
local wheelData = {name = name}

wheelData.camber = (90 - deg(acos(obj:nodeVecPlanarCos(wd.node2, wd.node1, vectorUp, vectorRight))))

if isnan(wheelData.camber) or isinf(wheelData.camber) then
  wheelData.camber = 0
end
print(wheelData.camber)

end

im trying to get it to work tho

data is an empty array and on each loop it inserts the wheelData of each wheel into it

@royal crater YESS

it works ```

local vectorForward = obj:getDirectionVector()
local vectorUp = obj:getDirectionVectorUp()
local vectorRight = vectorForward:cross(vectorUp)

local data = {}
for _,wd in pairs(v.data.wheels) do
local name = wd.name
local wheelData = {name = name}

wheelData.camber = (90 - math.deg(math.acos(obj:nodeVecPlanarCos(wd.node2, wd.node1, vectorUp, vectorRight))))

if isnan(wheelData.camber) or isinf(wheelData.camber) then
wheelData.camber = 0
end
print(wheelData.camber)
end

actually you can remove the local data line since it does nothing apart from storing those values

[royal crater]

oh you just recreated it. I was hoping to avoid that lol but thanks for doing the legwork, I think I'll just give up and borrow your code haha

[tacit halo]

well yeah i dont think theres a way to not do that

since like the calculation is only done when it sends the data to the debug app

then that array of data is sent to the js script

so like i dont think its ever stored

[hushed mulch]

Sure does seem that way.

[tacit halo]

yeah and i dont think that logic is too resource heavy anyways

its some math and a loop that repeats for each wheel

[hushed mulch]

Yeah, I think you're right. They probably didn't think it was something anyone would need, and therefore didn't go through the extra trouble of saving it.

[brisk bloom]

woah muye is in here

[olive bronze]

can someone make it so i can buy my self built cars in carrer

[hushed mulch]

With "self built" what do you mean cars you've modded, or just configurations?

[olive bronze]

just configs

would love to see both of my bx s for sale

ones got a v8 and the other a 2.0

the only mod is the side mounted license plate but thats not my mod i got that from the repo

i can live without that if it needs to be taken of

[hushed mulch]

Okay, this is because custom configs don't have a population value.

First find where the BeamNG.drive userfolder is. Easy way to do this is by going into the BeamNG launcher:

• "Manage User Folder" > "Open in Explorer"

Or opening Windows run (WIN + R) and typing in:

• %appdata%\..\Local\BeamNG.drive\latest

Then open the "vehicles" folder, this is the folder where custom configurations are saved. Custom configs don't have a info file, and that's where the population value is located.

You'll have to create a info file for the configuration. To do this you should be able to create a file named: "info_<CONFIG_NAME>.json"
-# Make sure that the file is actually a JSON file, and that the name is EXCATLY the same.

In this file paste this:

{
  "Population":0000
}

Something like the bastion has a value of around 8000 - 10000. Just to give you an idea of what to set the value to.

The mod shouldn't be a problem.

Try and see if this works.

[olive bronze]

how do i crate a json file

create*

[tacit halo]

you open notepad, click save as, then select " save as any filetype" then just type filename.json

[olive bronze]

thank you @tacit halo

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @tacit halo (current: #51 - 58)

[olive bronze]

nope cant find it

[hushed mulch]

Can't find?

[olive bronze]

i did find everything and i did everything you said

could be possible that i made sth wrong

but its okay

[hushed mulch]

What did you set the value to, and has the shop refreshed?

[olive bronze]

8000 and i restarted the game after

[hushed mulch]

I don't know if restating the game resets the shop, the only way this wouldn't work is if the info file isn't actually loaded. If you add: "Description":"This is a test", above where the population value is set so that the info file is now:

{
  "Description":"This is a test",
  "Population":0000
}

Does it show up in the vehicle spawning menu?

[olive bronze]

should i clos the game?

close*

[hushed mulch]

Generally a good idea, but it won't break anything if you don't, the changes just might not show.

[olive bronze]

still not here

is releasing configs as a mod difficult

[hushed mulch]

No, not at all. So there is no description like here where it says "Featuring police equipment..."?

[olive bronze]

no since its custom

[hushed mulch]

Okay, yeah then it's because the info file isn't added. Then I think you'll have to make the configs a mod to be able to give them an info file.
To do this, it might be easiest to follow this guide, and if you have any questions you can just ask.

I can also walk you through it, if you want.

[olive bronze]

if it wont bother you

walk me trough please

[hushed mulch]

Okay,

• First open your userfolder again, this time open the "mods" folder, in here create a new folder called "unpacked".

• In this folder create a folder, the name of this folder doesn't really matter as it's just the name of the mod.

• Inside the folder you've just created you create a folder, the name of this folder should be: vehicles.

• Inside the "vehicles" folder you create a folder that's named the same as the main folder for that vehicle.
  *I'll save you some trouble finding the name of the folder, but for reference it's located here: *<STEAM_PATH>\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles.
  For the Ibishu BX-Series the name of the folder is "bx", so the folder inside the "vehicles" folder should be named bx

-# More to follow

[olive bronze]

Alr lemme try that ffor now

you can tell me the nexts steps while im doing that

i dont have an unpacked folder
i will create a new one since i know thats gonna work

oh my bad didnt read the first step completely...

alr im done

[hushed mulch]

Now where you have the folder structure set up correctly you can simply copy the config*(s)* to the mod folder (Inside the bx folder), and since you already created the info files you can copy them as well.

Inside the bx folder should now look something like this:
\ > bx
\ > car1.pc
\ > car1.png
\ > info_car1.json

[olive bronze]

okay

what do i put into the info folter i forgot

[hushed mulch]

There shouldn't be an info folder.

[olive bronze]

info_car1.json

this one what do i put in population

like what number

[hushed mulch]

It's up to you what population number you pick, 8000 like you had before should be fine.

[olive bronze]

alr

like this?

[hushed mulch]

Yep, that looks correct.

[olive bronze]

good

[hushed mulch]

Now try starting the game and see if the configurations are there and if there's a description on the configs.

[olive bronze]

how can i add a description if we are at this point

[hushed mulch]

This is what is currently inside the info file:

{
  "Description":"This is a test",
  "Population":0000
}

Just edit the string "This is a test" to whatever you want the description to be.

[olive bronze]

oh okay

Thank you @hushed mulch

[hushed mulch]

Anytime.

Do the configs show up in game with the description?

[olive bronze]

i need to add wait a sec

[hushed mulch]

Take all the time you need.

[olive bronze]

no desc

[hushed mulch]

Are the configs there, or only the ones you had before?

[olive bronze]

nope only the 2 from before

[hushed mulch]

Okay, try moving the files you had in the other folder (not the one you created in the mods folder) to somewhere safe, like on the desktop. As they might be confusing the game.

[olive bronze]

the one in appdata?

[hushed mulch]

Yeah, the configs in this folder here:

[olive bronze]

and now restart again?

[hushed mulch]

Yeah.

[olive bronze]

the cars are still there but dont have a description

[hushed mulch]

Weird, so the vehicles folder located inside the 0.34 folder is empty correct?

[olive bronze]

well i placed the bx folder onto my desktop its not there

[hushed mulch]

Good.

Let me just test something and then I'll be right back.

[olive bronze]

alr

take your time

[hushed mulch]

Okay very weird with the same setup, just a different car, I can get it to show up.

Does all of this look the same as how you've done it?

[olive bronze]

sorry for the wait i was eating dinner

[hushed mulch]

No worries.

[olive bronze]

its in german btw

[hushed mulch]

It looks correct, try naming one of them something like "bx_stanced" so all the files are now, "bx_stanced.pc", "bx_stanced.jpg" and "info_bx_stanced.json".

[olive bronze]

will do

[hushed mulch]

Not that the bx_ changes anything, this just makes sure it's not a name issue with the other configs also having the same name.

[olive bronze]

and restart game againg right?

[hushed mulch]

Yep, can't hurt.

[olive bronze]

that did nothing exept changing the name

[hushed mulch]

Wait so the name changed?

[olive bronze]

yes

it now has the bx_ in its name

[hushed mulch]

That good, what does the inside of the info file look like?

[olive bronze]

nothing

oh wait sorry

[hushed mulch]

Does the inside of the info file look like this?

[olive bronze]

ill send it rq

[hushed mulch]

This makes no sense, it's like the info files just doesn't get included.

[olive bronze]

mybe keep population at 0

[hushed mulch]

That shouldn't change anything.

[olive bronze]

wait a minute

[hushed mulch]

O_o?

[olive bronze]

its my fault i just reopened it and everything is gone again

[hushed mulch]

Oh, didn't save it?

[olive bronze]

how do i save it properly

[hushed mulch]

Should just be CTRL+S or click the save icon.

[olive bronze]

it saved now

imma use the bathroom ill be back

it works finally

if you tell me how to publish iti will leave you alone

it I*

[hushed mulch]

Great, now I'd recommend not using spaces or capital letters in the file names. To set the name of the configuration use "Configuration":"CONFIG_NAME", inside the info file.

[olive bronze]

alr will do

i did so

how can i publish it

what does that mean it says: name used by other car so it doesnt change the pictures

[little portal]

It means youre overwriting an already existing config name

[olive bronze]

well i cant delete it either

if i delete it its still there

[hard gyro]

I have a question.

What do I need to take from car 1 to put the suspension from car 1 into car 2?

I thought it was just some basic suspension files but apparently not.

[little portal]

Probably because its a .pc file within the mod instead of a usermade config

[olive bronze]

it is mine

i made it into a mod so i can buy it in carrer mode

and now i cant take proper pics

[little portal]

Well yes but is the config file in the mod or in 0.34/vehicles

[olive bronze]

both😂

[little portal]

Idk if you can delete the config files that are in the zipped mod

[olive bronze]

its not zipped

i unpacked it

wait lemme try sth

nah didnt work

[little portal]

Matbe delete or put the one in your mods folder somewhere else and try

[brittle warren]

Suspension jbeams and the 3d models

[olive bronze]

in the files there are the right pictures in the right folders

just not in game

[little portal]

Is the picture named the same as the config?

Without the .pc

[olive bronze]

yes

[pine skiff]

why is the RA not making the lines and tire trascks sometimes, its like almost completetly smooth

[little portal]

And so the problem is that the picture doesnt show up in the vehicles thing in beam?

[olive bronze]

restarting PC always works

Hey, so for "publishing" your mod, you can upload it to the forums by clicking "add resource" and then selecting "Configurations" as the category.

You will need to zip the mod in order to do this. Easiest way to do that is in-game going to the mods panel > Finding your mod in the "Mods manager" and then clicking "PACK".

[pine skiff]

any map wizard that knows how to solve this?

[brittle warren]

https://documentation.beamng.com/world_editor/tools/road_architect/ Check the docs maybe something will stand out

[shell fable]

I'm trying to create a mod that takes the current spawned vehicle's RPM, coolant temp, oil temp, and speed and writes it to a text document. Any ideas on how to do this?

[brittle warren]

Well lua for one then use print I would assume to write it to the console then it will show up in the beamng log.txt but after that I have no idea maybe ask in the lua help in the modding for dummies discord

[shell fable]

Alright, thanks

[proud sierra]

anyone know where the licence plate model is?

[royal crater]

I think the model and material don't exist, and is procedurally generated based on inputted text, or otherwise. You can find old stuff relating to it though in the common directory in "licenceplates" then some models in "driver_training"

(along with how licence plates are made currently)

[pine skiff]

Just said why not how to fix it, well they said you can’t, might just split the road into a lot of shorter roads :/

[neon ember]

In Blender's Jbeam editor, how do I triangulate faces? When I attempt to triangulate using Face > Triangulate Faces, it only creates one triangle. Do I have to manually create the triangles?

Also when doing extrudes, after extruding sometimes I want to extrude again the extruded faces, but the vertices always get unselected after extrusion, not like the regular behavior in Blender. So I always have to manually selected the newly extruded vertices again. Very tedious 😦

[pine skiff]

What’s the trick to getting actual good looking roads in world editor?

[pine skiff]

Found this forum post https://www.beamng.com/threads/ultimate-tutorial-on-how-to-make-realistic-roads.97520/

Who's got experience modding sounds in?

[earnest agate]

Anybody know what file would have a vehicles light function?
Im trying to change this one cars front markers so they function as DRLS instead, I found the file that allows me to change things like brightness and colour, meshes etc. yet I cant find anything to change its actual function

[brittle warren]

Glow maps and spotlight props in the jbeam

[earnest agate]

This is what you mean by spotlight props right?

[brittle warren]

yes

[earnest agate]

what do I change for the function to be different?

[tepid tartan]

if you want the signals to function as drl's you not gonna want to mess with spotlight props at all. Purely the glowmaps.

You can find proper documentation of DRL's on the beamng wiki under "advanced example"

Link related; https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/glowmaps/

[brittle warren]

Atill need props to make the light shine on the ground

[tepid tartan]

If he's using pre existing lights likely will already have the spotlight there for the blinker/drl. I'm assuming he is but, you could be right as well.

[brittle warren]

true true i hate props with a passion lol so hopefully they are already there

[tepid tartan]

you can adjust lights pretty easily thank god with shift + f11 and lights debug plus prop transformer. lights become a relatively quick thing to do.

I'm making a face prop but I'm not sure what rightCorner and leftCorner nodes I should use? Are the ones I selected ok? Or do I need to define a node at corners of an invisible box boundary?

Is this caused by the incorrect selection of nodes for the rightCorner/leftCorner or is this something else?

[royal crater]

it says here that it's for triggering check points https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/refnodes/

[neon ember]

thanks for sharing the link! I now put the nodes perfectly in line but still get error "No refNodes found, using default fallback

[royal crater]

I don't know if you should call a node anything like "ref" but I could be wrong

[neon ember]

@royal crater I used the ball's jbeam as reference and realized that the no refnodes is not the issue as the ball also gets the same debug output in the console. so something else is destroying the mesh

[royal crater]

oh weird. Have you paused the game, then refreshed it? You can see if it even loads in right.

next I'd slow the physics down with alt + left arrow key. Then unpause and see where things start failing.

if it's a few nodes at first, Then I'd increase their weight

[neon ember]

oooh that's a cool idea with pausing thanks so much for that advice. yeah so it loads in right then slowly explodes randomly in all directions into the sky as well

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @royal crater (current: #223 - 14)

[royal crater]

the exploding on an object that isn't being controlled in any way is generally some nodes being too close to faces, or more commonly the big one is that the node weight to beam spring/damp is off

[neon ember]

Ohh that makes sense thank you soo much!

[mint haven]

i cant see modle

[neon ember]

I have now simplified the beams which also is enclosed in triangular faces but it still explodes. i used the template of the ball. could it be because it is not symmetrical like a ball?

[tacit halo]

what are you tring to do?

that node structure is too dense, you may need rigidifier nodes (check vanilla car hoods and bumpers)

[outer heart]

convert it to wav format and see an existing sound blend for example

[neon ember]

trying to make a face that behaves like a ball but i want that detail. or i dont need the detail? because i tried simplified without detail then the face looks distorted

[tacit halo]

well the thing is you are trying to do something thats very much out of the scope of beamngs phisics engine, you have a flexible moldable strcture thats meant to be bouncy, which is already hard, which then the difficulty of it increases exponentially due to the jbeam being too dense, yes you need to majorly simplify it, theres just way too many nodes and beams for it to properly work

id say a goal would be having 1/3rd the amount of nodes

[neon ember]

that's good to know and im glad i wouldnt have to deal with such dense jbeam meshes in the future haha thank you so much for your input!

I simplified it like that of a ball but I elongated it so its oblong shaped but same number of beams as the ball. is that ok? but now it keeps moving around as if some unknown force is moving it like a wind or something but its turning around. lol

[drowsy tartan]

so I've finished making my map, and I'm trying to pack it, I've followed some yt tutorials but I'm not able to see my mod in game, anyone happen to know why?

[stuck storm]

Is it just an rpm ramp up on and offload?

[drowsy tartan]

bump

[river forge]

file structure seems to be okay, did the map work normally when it was unpacked

also instead of manually packing, you could try using the unpacked version, then going to the in-game mods manager, and packing it from there

[drowsy tartan]

i can only access the map via f11, where should i put the map unpacked to check? and what should the file structure look like?

map/levels/map? or just /map?

[river forge]

unpacked should be:
mods/unpacked/modname/levels/mapname/etc.

packed should be:
mods/modname.zip/levels/mapname/etc.

[drowsy tartan]

moved it to the unpacked folder, opened the level, blank blue world, got this error, unsure where to fing the full log

i see when loading in that it loads all the meshes, the roads, and everything else, but i cannot see them

[south dust]

Hi yall I'm stumped.
I'm making a custom map I have it saved and it's in the game version/levels folder
Im having no luck moving it I to a zip so it shows up in the mods folder.

In the levels folder it will only show up in the game if I tick the "include Auxilary debug content" box.

Any help would be appreciated because I'm just getting frustrated that nothing I'm reading trying or doing or watching on youtube is working

I'd like to figure this out before I put in anymore work on my map

Thanks

Does anyone know how to get the World Editor to actually save onto the materials file, if you edit an material and then press "Save"?

[ruby kestrel]

its better to just assume the material editor won't save, and its a quick way to test new materials and different values so you can go change the file's code quicker

also make all your sunsky adjustments before using the forest tool, because chances are once the forest object is in the game, you can't make changes to the sunsky object anymore

It works if you make a new material with it in a new file at least

I did it manually now and it works because hh

How does one go from a custom map in the game version/levels/custommapname folder to zipped in the game version/mods folder/custommap name.zip and have it show up in freeroam so it loads that way properly. I've tried putting my map in a zip then in the mods folder and it shows in the mod directory but not in freeroam at all. That's my next learning struggle that has been failing me following guides n stuff

[drowsy tartan]

/mapname/levels/mapname/ from what i can tell

its always helpful to reference another mod or a vanilla map for packing

EDIT: FIXED compiling my issue into a single message, making a map, map is finished, when loading into unpacked mod, i get a fatal lua error and can only see blue, i see the game loading all my meshes and roads, so its def trying, attached is my info.json, and a trimmed log of just the lua error

[south dust]

Alright I figured it out. You make the zip file from the mapname/levels folder not the map name folder. So you click the zip file it opens to show levels/mapname/map contents. I was confusing myself bbuly thinking you needed to have the map name show when you opened up the zip file. So dumb haha finally. Appreciate the input 👌

[drowsy tartan]

is yours working properly? mine is getting lua errors i cant figure out

[south dust]

Mines loads perfectly
Properly. Did have a Lua error for something but I think it was an extraction issue of something else 🤔

it was a single comma in my info.json, fixed

[zenith mulch]

Ok, so here's the skinny. Last night I was messing around and I put the Belasco-Diesel 900CUI I6 Diesel engine in the MD-series truck. I then put a T600 turbo in it, and it took me a while to realize the turbo wasn't actually connected to the truck. So It's running NA (naturally aspirated (no turbo, just engine)) Now, I'm a fanatic about 18-wheelers, and I play a ton of American Truck Simulator. I have a lot of friends who do as well, and some of them can make mods for ATS.

My question here is, where can I find the sound file for the Belasco-Diesel engine, so I can get someone to incorporate it into an ATS truck engine?

[earnest agate]

I cannot find anything within the mods files that mentions glowmaps for some reason

neither can I find anything related to inputs as mentioned on a modding link

how to import blender model to beamng?

[river forge]

There is no such thing as importing an entire car model into Beam. You would need to separate all the parts of the car, and individually jbeam them. Without prior modding experience, that would be very hard. If you want to get into BeamNG modding, I'd recommend starting with a smaller project, like a new part for an existing car, or a prop

[tacit halo]

you click the " make this a mod automatically instead of spending months working on it" button in beamng (you cant import models into beamng and have a full working car)

For the body you'd probably be better off using the H-Series, but in any case it will need a lot of work

it happens when i use find in files

dont mind the 2.48279

Yea I wouldn't do that unless your making it a completely different car in the vehicle selector also there are probably jbeams in common for the van that need changed too

yes i did set origin and changed some prop settings

[brittle warren]

Also anyone here know material override

[brittle warren]

what is the mod based on maybe try looking at where the original wheel is and copy that

[fickle raptor]

roamer, and thats basically what i did

or actually no i will find the original wheel

[brittle warren]

hmm thats odd then

[little portal]

How do i not make a material light up when the sun is shining on it?

I have a bit thats slightly emmisive but when the sun shines on it it goes bright to the color its set to, which i dont want

[sick tartan]

what else do i need to change the name of in flexbodies

[earnest agate]

So I have gotten the DRLs to work, however they dont blink properly, as they should be blinking like the side markers.

This is the code I currently have that is linked to them.

[tepid tartan]

what way are you wanting them to function? currently I can see that on intense is working

[earnest agate]

Trying to get them to function like what can be seen on the gavril vertex

[tepid tartan]

I can't speak for his work but, you could try turning down the emmissive vaule on "on_intense" material to 0. though I do fear this would technically flip the syncronization of the light with the marker side blinker.

[earnest agate]

Aight, I will see if this works.

[earnest agate]

its rather questionable to say the least

[tepid tartan]

defo flipped em

uhhhhh

I'm not entirely sure myself admittedly my lighting experience begins and ends at a lightbar. Could always look at how innocent did it and try to recreate from there so long as no lua was created to modify his electrics or continue to play around with material maps used in each section until the desired result comes out.

[earnest agate]

Looking into the vertex files, It looks like those parts are controlled by a custom drl value, although copying this to the taz completely breaks the car

[viral juniper]

That's because the Vertex uses LUA for that I believe
I have written JBeam logic for my own mod which functions pretty much the same if you'd like to use it
["signal_drl_L","(electrics.signal_left_input == 1 and electrics.signal_L or electrics.running == true and 1 or 0) * electrics.electricalLoadCoef"],

[earnest agate]

So I would just drop this in the main jbeam, correct?

[viral juniper]

Yes, it would be in this location

Just rename signal_drl_L to your own material

[earnest agate]

Aight, ill see if that works

[inner heart]

could probably simplify electrics.running == true and 1 or 0 to electrics.engineRunning

[earnest agate]

thank you!

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @viral juniper (current: #339 - 8)

[earnest agate]

been working on this for nearly 3 days now lol

[viral juniper]

No problem, glad it worked for you

[brittle warren]

cool headlights lol

[viral juniper]

Yeah you could, I wasn't aware 'engineRunning' was a thing
I only had the "and 1 or 0" part cause in my mod I have the 1 set to a lower value so that the running light emits a dimmer light compared to the signal

[inner heart]

i mean engineRunning is also in range of 0 and 1, i think

[viral juniper]

Yeah I know that now, I just didn't know that value existed lol

I had it set to this in my mod: electrics.running == true and 0.49 or 0

[inner heart]

actually no

electrics.running checks ignition level

wtf does engineRunning come from?💀

[viral juniper]

I've never seen it documented anywhere, but I just tested it and it has slightly different behavior to electrics.running

[inner heart]

yeap, actually if engine running

if engine rpm exceed starter motor rpm*0.8 then engineRunning is set

[viral juniper]

electrics.engineRunning waits for the vehicle to completely startup, but electrics.running is with accessory mode and startup

[inner heart]

yeah

matches what i see in lua

[viral juniper]

Very interesting
(Left is .running, right is .engineRunning)

[inner heart]

yes, it would help with the hud showing lol

[viral juniper]

Well, thanks for making me aware of the engineRunning value lol, it's a bit neat

Somebody help.
Why when i using etkc material on other car, the stuff doesn't work(no texture) until I spawn the K-Series itself

but etk800 texture works without spawning etk 800 series

[river forge]

That material is not in the common folder, you'll need to copy the material from the etkc's main.materials.json into a custom something.materials.json in your mods files. The textures don't need to be copied as the material tells the game where to find them

And while you're at it, it'd be best to rename the copied material, to prevent it from messing with the etkc if that is ever spawned alongside your mods

[river forge]

Those might be in the common folder then...? Though I don't see why they would 🤷

[stoic wadi]

thx, i already did the same thing with etkc_lights, I just thought there was another way

Hey, how does one even do filament lights?

[river forge]

I've collected some of the info about it here: #1259896099225866321 message
Basically check the documentation and vanilla car files (just the Nine for now)

[late zodiac]

I have found a tutorial by LJ74 for halogen lights aswell

[tardy lagoon]

I'm creating sirens for BeamNG but they're all too low in volume compared to the gemes ones and the sound only comes from in the front of the car if that makes any sense. Anyone know any fix

[late zodiac]

increase sound value

or loudness idk

[tardy lagoon]

Is there any way to do it from the .jbeam or do you mean the audio file itself?

[late zodiac]

The audio file probably

while you are here.. can you give me good site for 3D models?

i've been having trouble picking a 3D model

[tardy lagoon]

Yeah i've already maxed it out so that's why im trying to find a different way 😅

[late zodiac]

check jbeam file then

[tardy lagoon]

I don't really do 3d modelling but have heard that Hum3d is a good source

[late zodiac]

the models are way too high poly xd

Idk, it's alr tho

i'll figure something out if i ask someone who knows how to find models

[tardy lagoon]

Yeah that's the downside i guess

[late zodiac]

gta sa models aren't bad

it's mostly a hit or miss

(mostly a miss tho xd)

[tardy lagoon]

Yeah 😄

[late zodiac]

gta 5 models are quite a pain to bulk export (i know how to however am very lazy)

[tardy lagoon]

Or you could make your own model like this😂 Low poly too

[late zodiac]

make a custom jbeam for this and better than all third party mods combined

[tardy lagoon]

Oh 100%!

[late zodiac]

also this site is completely dumb... it overlays the pages into other elements

[tardy lagoon]

I had that problem too, might be that you're using an ad blocker

[late zodiac]

most likely

[river forge]

Just make your ad blocker ignore that site

How to import my 3D terrain model into the map?

[dry cargo]

Could I use fusion3d to make prop models like roadsigns and whatever with textures?

[flat aurora]

hi im trying to modify a mod vehicle, so i imported it to blender added what i wanted and replaced the dae with original. then went to coresponding jbeam file to write the mesh name on a new line. but it doesnt show on game. idk what seems to be the issue. who can help. also should i edit on appdata dir or this pc...?

[dry cargo]

How do I create a new map from the template map? I must be doing something wrong because I end up having a template map with broken textures when I create one

[dry cargo]

You keep on adding content on it

And uh
Paint the terrain

[dry cargo]

Oh u got a bug

Idk man sorry ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌¯⁠\⁠_⁠ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[dry cargo]

nah i fixed it

i was just doing it wrong

[hard gyro]

How do I offset/move flexbodies on a frame?

Nvm figured it out

Missed a character

[proven panther]

why is my heightmap imported wrong?

[dry cargo]

Make sure it's in the right format
32 bit or something idk

[outer heart]

it was 8 bit 0-255 but 16bit had the 2 good 2 b real improvements such as i think it was 16k colors.you need to add a little bit of blur too for less scary edges

@proven panther

convert to 16bit and add a very little bit of blur before or after that

[hard gyro]

Ok so I only adjusted the Y parameter on the driveshaft to move it forward. What happen?

[river forge]

Driveshaft is a prop, not a normal flexbody

[hard gyro]

Ok. How do I move it so it’s not sticking out the ass end?

@river forge

[brittle warren]

Translation in the props section

[hard gyro]

Yup. That’s what I used.
And now it’s repeatedly flying away from the car

[brittle warren]

Try the prop transformer with shift f11 and then copy the numbers into the jbeam

[hard gyro]

Ok but there’s 4 sets of numbers there and only 3 in the jbeam

And it’s flying off again

So i have these @brittle warren

There’s 4 values here and 3 in the jbeam.

[hard gyro]

I just need those last few numbers

Does ANYONE know which of those goes where?

I can’t go anywhere without figuring this part out

@brittle warren sorry, again, but I’ve had it break 3 times trying to figure out which value goes where.

[brittle warren]

click copy to clipborad and try that

[minor moth]

your siren soundnode is the same as the global, need to change it

[hard gyro]

That gives me something not useful

[minor moth]

ignore global

unless you use it which in your case no

baserotation is the only thing that you can actually change here

rotation is just, what axis the prop rotates on and how much when input is there and translation is the same but movement

hope this helps
-# also win+shift+s or prtsc please

[hard gyro]

I have too many tabs open at once to care about taking and sending screenshots. I’ve got anxiety as it is. But thanks I’ll see if those work

[tardy lagoon]

Ah okay, how would i go about to change that?

[minor moth]

uhh lemme look rq at sirens

do you have this? if so and if your siren is universal set the node to rf1 (roof above windscreen, literally all cars have that)

[hard gyro]

So use the base rotation and base translation only, no global for either

[tardy lagoon]

It does not have the *{"node:":"fx2"}, * should I add it?

[minor moth]

take a screenshot of the soundscape bit and below (fully within the brackets if yk what i mean)

[hard gyro]

Yeah this didn’t work at all

[proven panther]

https://youtu.be/7_9uS2ixBCs?si=AzK8PQkbiVV7b45Q
I did it like this guy

[tardy lagoon]

Here's the whole thing:

[minor moth]

is that a custom sound

if so that doesnt go there

wait no sorry

it does but you do need the node there

{"node:":"rf1"},

[tardy lagoon]

Alright, Ill add it and see 😁

[hard gyro]

Driveshaft still flies away

Screw this I’m just deleting the driveshaft prop

[outer heart]

image needs to be 16bit

[minor moth]

is the origin in the middle of the shaft

[tardy lagoon]

I just tried it in-game but now when i try to turn on the siren the light shuts off and no audio, here's what i did:

[minor moth]

hm weird

[tardy lagoon]

I now changed the node to bl3 whch is the beacon and it worked. However, on cars with lightbar it doesn't work as they don't have the bl3 node. Do you have any node suggestion?

[hard gyro]

No but I just deleted the prop because the engine swaps make a standard position driveshaft unnecessary anyway

[minor moth]

thats your issue dude

props rotate along their origin theyre not like flexbodies

[hard gyro]

ok idk how to fix the origin

Not worth it anymore

[proven panther]

So I did

[glacial sundial]

if you mean the front frame, then yes

[tardy lagoon]

I have tried some nodes now but i can't find one that works on all vehicles, the rf1 that you mentioned #modding-general message isn't for example available on the Autobello Piccolina. Do you know of any other nodes that all vehicles should have, or have any other suggestions?

[crystal wraith]

Not to be that guy but that map has already been done

if I want to find a list of available obj:set and obj:get binding functions, where would I find that?

or if they're created, and not found, help me understand them? (I don't actually know how coding works lol)

not sure if "binding functions" are the right term, beamng console is calling them a "method"

[ruby kestrel]

I'm making AI paths for my roads. It seems the AI likes to stick to the left side of the ai path, like this, for the entire duration. Any good way (other than just moving the road over, which would be unideal lol) to make them stick more in the center?

[inner heart]

i dont think a list exist, all you have is vanilla lua files and a lot of ctrl f

[lilac pilot]

Does anyone have idea how to recreate real life car colors in beamng?

[brittle warren]

With the color selector?

[lilac pilot]

In the info.json I think. I want the color pallete like this

[shut pollen]

get the rgb value of the colour you want and divide the values by 255

[lilac pilot]

So I can use for example chatgpt for getting these rgb values?

[shut pollen]

i think i made a post about how to do it a while ago, search my name and rgb or something. i probably made it at an obscene time so it might not make sense lmao

[shut pollen]

search for the colour codes of the car you want and then search for paint images with the colour code plus the name. they sometimes have like digital swatches or whatever you can just use any colour picker tool on

[hard gyro]

Can someone give me a very quick rundown on what would go into something like, let’s say, swapping the dunekicker suspension onto the tseries frame. Just as an example totally don’t have a super stupid idea or anything

I can do jbeam and such, an dive successfully done suspension swaps within the same car but never from car 1 to car 2

[brittle warren]

You can also use the hex code in the world editor to make it easier

[shut pollen]

i suppose that works, yeah. i just find it way easier to knock out several colours at once using google, np++ and pdn without even loading the game. load em all up in one go and verify in game all in a row

[silent glade]

I mean it's been years and we still can't

[proven panther]

Anyone knows?

[late zodiac]

texture?

[brittle warren]

I wish lol I started using fmod for a couple of my engines then realized I couldn't use the bank file

[proven panther]

No, if you look at the heightmap it has steps, it is not smooth.

[late zodiac]

oh idk then

[hard gyro]

Ok I’ve got a small issue.

I put regular wheel hubs on the tractor nine. Now the driveshaft snaps and the clutch overheats. How do I make those not have that problem?

[silent glade]

Sad

Even chatgpt ain doing anything

I actually asked it how to implement fmod banks to beamng LMAOO

(not worth it)

[brittle warren]

Chat gpt is poop for beam stuff I use a ai coding thing and load the whole game into it and go from there

[silent glade]

Ambientmapsss

That's one bank file that beamng uses

I feel like that's for ambience mostly

[brittle warren]

Yea probably I think imma spend all day today figuring out how they do it cause I'm pretty sure there engines use bank files instead of individual sounds

[silent glade]

I guess im not alone

[brittle warren]

Someone on the forums was also trying to figure it out too

[silent glade]

Yea

[silent glade]

Imagine replacing Ambient maps

[brittle warren]

I lnow you can add custom sounds to maps in the world editor I did for my trailer park map I'm working on had to have some white trash music blaring for ambience lol

[silent glade]

Also beamng hasn't updated it's fmod ver yet. I think it has stayed the same since 0.27

[silent glade]

Wait wha

[brittle warren]

Yea add a sound emmiter and then in the inspector there is a section to point it to a sound file it can use almost any format I just used mp3

[silent glade]

Yo check dms

[bronze needle]

why is my engine model under the car, but engine's hitbox is where it is supposed to be?

im trying to edit a dae mod that i grabbed from game vehicles file. Can somebody tell me if i doing it wrong, so i imported the dae to blender to modify a mesh. and i replaced a mesh so it have the same name as it was. but when i export back to game the whole mesh is disappeard....!

[unique zealot]

only export the modified mesh
rename it in blender and the jbeam
and make sure you put it in the mods folder with the right structure
i believe its zip name > vehicles > vehicle name (correct me if im wrong anyone)

dont outright replace the same mesh basically

[proven panther]

any pro modder?

i have this pointcloud

https://www.beamng.com/threads/tutorial-level-building-with-lidar.39370/
I tried to follow this tutorial but I can't get a good heightmap image

the problem im having is that im trying to replace/add another steering wheel that i made, but i cannot find the original steering (wheel mesh name) on the jbeam files, so i can add another one under it. therefore i thought of replacing it

i think steering wheels mayy be in common but im not sure

[earnest agate]

How do I open a DDS file in gimp
It has a seizure every time I try to open one from a map im trying to edit

[royal crater]

importing like normal works for me, but it'll put each mipmap on a new layer, which might make it look a bit weird

[earnest agate]

It does this whenever I try to open one.

[royal crater]

I just dragged something into the window, these are the settings on by default, and it loaded in

[earnest agate]

I put both of those on and it still wont open

[royal crater]

hmmm try opening it in something like Visual Studio (not VScode), then saving the default mipmap as a png or something? Then you can have BeamNG's baker turn it back into a DDS with mipmaps

[earnest agate]

aight

[earnest agate]

This is it right?

from microsoft

[royal crater]

yeah, I don't use it often, so you're kind of on your own :/ sorry

[earnest agate]

I moved one of the dds files to a different area and it suddenly got a icon

I might be doing a thing

[royal crater]

you weren't trying to open it from a zip file were you?

[earnest agate]

No, unpacked

[royal crater]

yeah, dunno. It's never not opened for me, but I do know that some really old dae files won't open in blender anymore, so there might be something. Visual studio will open it no matter what though

[earnest agate]

Looks like gimp will only load in these things

which appear to be dds files

yet anything else doesnt work

which is really weird considering they are apparently the exact same type of file

[royal crater]

the "n" seems to signify a "normal map", and that's what they look like, because they're less of an image, but more of an instruction for bumps etc on a model

keeps polycount low, whilst adding lots of surface detail

[exotic prawn]

is there a way to detach and reattach this antenna via the parts menu? i've heard something about slots but its confusing to me

[earnest agate]

I dont know how the hell this is working but I am extremely happy that it is

A png converted to a dds somehow works

I should be good from now on then

[royal crater]

you can take it off, and you can put it on, but generally not move things (it's not fully clear what you're asking). If they've put it in, there might be options in the tuning menu, but probably not.

If you want to move the areal around, you'll have to mod the .jbeam file

[inner heart]

i've heard something about slots but its confusing to me
sounds like you arent the author and you dont know standard jbeam modding, just ask the author to make it as its own part instead of built into the roof/body

[brittle warren]

That's what I told dude earlier

[noble root]

What would it take if I wanted to make a mod to use a stl of a car boot like this as a universal hubcap? I’m semi-familiar with modding other games, but haven’t dove in to beamng yet. It doesn’t have to behave super realistic, mostly for looks in screenshots. Like assuming I had a stl for a wheel clamp and just wanted the texture to be flat yellow or orange, what else would I need to make it into a hubcap beyond maybe making a jbeam in blender.

[brittle warren]

Well an STL is gonna kill performance because cad models aren't made to be used in games

[noble root]

I could use that to remap into a different 3D model format, or if I model it myself I can just export differently

[inner heart]

not all wheels accept hubcap

[noble root]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-memoji-gif-23490017

I’m just wondering how hard it would be to put something like this together since I don’t really see any similar mods in the repo. I assumed a hubcap would be the most straightforward option

[simple trench]

why can't I create a new post in the mod showcase section?

[brittle warren]

Because you need to get permission to do so by following this message #mods-faq message

[desert oriole]

Hi guys, anyone has some knowledge in beamng.tech how can i switch off traction controll?

[sullen turret]

how do i go about removing grass from an area?

[royal crater]

start by pressing f11 to bring up the world editor, then there's a bunch of tools for you to play with

[sullen turret]

i know that but i tried like forest editor n stuff and didn’t work

[royal crater]

are you asking a question about how to turn off traction control, or how to use beamng.tech? They are very different things

[sullen turret]

i think the grass is a ground cover

[royal crater]

I've done it before, give me a sec to seee if I can figure it out again

[sullen turret]

bet ty

[royal crater]

it's under terrain painter, you'll have to paint it with a different material, or try to duplicate one with everything except a different name. There's a way to take ground cover off of a material entirely though, is that what you want?

[sullen turret]

ahhh okay i must’ve glossed over terrain painter, yeah should be all good im making a map edit and had grass sticking through the floor so just needed to remove it from one area

thanks for the help

[royal crater]

I found it. You add the object, then do all the settings in the inspector, and set the "layer" name to the same as a terrain painter material. Not exactly what you needed, but you may want to do something with it one day

[desert oriole]

Ohh sorry im asking how can i switch off traction controll using beamngpy with beamng.tech. I found vehicle electronics but i did not found the code to switch it off. Is there any code snippet or i need to use Lua code snippet?

[royal crater]

you shouldn't need to touch beamng.tech, python, or any code to turn traction control off. It's usually a part in the config menu. If you were to do code for it, it'd likely be in an jbeam, or lua file

there's also usually a button in the bottom right of the screen to turn it off

[desert oriole]

I'am making an autonomous drifting algorithm and it would be easier to switch off in code than to click on the screen 🙂

ah, probably lua, I've not touched python though, but I think that's for different stuff like interacting with external programs (I just know I've not needed it before). Ui stuff though is often in js.

I've also looked at doing an auto drift mod, everything you need should be doable in lua

Thank you 😄

thanks @royal crater

Beamng uses Lua?

[desert oriole]

yeah

[pale bay]

Sick, my best programming language

[desert oriole]

Is it hard to learn?

[pale bay]

Not really

So, do you make mdods with lua or what?

I’m on mobile so I type like crap

Do you mod this game with Lua?

Lua snippets?

[desert oriole]

In beamng as i know Lua is thinking under the hood, you mod with other files Lua is good if you want to controll the vehicle or read the sensor data

[pale bay]

Oh, so I can add some .lua files to the game for QOL mods?

[desert oriole]

QOL?

[pale bay]

That’d be cool.

Quality of life, like make the game nicer.

For example, edit a cars speed with no limit

[desert oriole]

Yeah i think you can do that

[pale bay]

Alr, thanks that’ll help and you showed me how to do this

thanks @desert oriole

Iam currently learning how to do it now i communicate withbeamng with a python api, but later i will change to Lua

[pale bay]

Yeah I like python too but I feel like I would just add some Lua files to the game tbh

[desert oriole]

Yeah it will be maybe more efficent

[pale bay]

Probably. You can simply just add to the games code.

Also, do you use a wheel? I may get one and I’m quite excited.

Simply want to know if the experience is better with one.

[desert oriole]

I use a controller, but i want to buy a wheel soon

[pale bay]

Same.

[desert oriole]

I think its definetly better with wheel

[pale bay]

I’ll also get some other good games like Assetto Corsa with a wheel.

Anyway, we’re getting off topic now, thanks for the help I’ll go know.

[desert oriole]

Okay bye

is it possible to make the ball prop indestructible? but still behave like a ball? I can't use FLT_MAX as the game stays paused due to error instability detected. can i set the value to be near indestructible? i tried using several values, i failed to discover the forumula for "indestructibility" while retaining stability

        ["id1:", "id2:"],
        {"beamPrecompression": 1, "beamType": "|BOUNDED", "beamLongBound": 0.0, "beamShortBound": 0.05},
        {"beamSpring": 25000, "beamDamp": 2000},
        {"beamLimitSpring": 750000, "beamLimitDamp": 2500},
        {"beamDeform": "FLT_MAX", "beamStrength": "FLT_MAX"},
        {"deformLimitExpansion": 1.2}```

[neon ember]

oh looks like the ball is already sort of indestructible, it just collapsed in my case because i elongated it so it was not perfectly spherical anymore. guess that matters

How do I stop my textures / HTML texture from "repeating"?

[river forge]

quick n dirty solution would be to uv map the blue areas to a different part of the material / different material alltogether, though I would assume there is probably a better way of doing things on the HTML side of things - but I don't know anything about that
