why is it covet

[brittle warren]

RRPBR user

[distant pendant]

?

[modern python]

What is that

[lethal nacelle]

closet matches for the shell

[distant pendant]

who am i helping here, tj or zeno

[modern python]

Me plz

[distant pendant]

like you 2 have me utterly confused lol

[lethal nacelle]

sorry

[modern python]

I just need to know why I don’t see my obj in beam

[distant pendant]

see how he posted his entire jbeam?

[lethal nacelle]

I think we have the same issue

[brittle warren]

RRPBR is the sqaures off to the left its the materials used by the drag tire mod from somewthing racecraft

[distant pendant]

what is your objective? You are putting a entire body on the covet?

[lethal nacelle]

yes

[modern python]

I’m trying to put mine on the aurata

[distant pendant]

what is it your trying to install? is it a box bed?

[modern python]

I need a question answered

[lethal nacelle]

the body for now

[distant pendant]

you need to post your entire jbeam of what you've got created.

[distant pendant]

is this one entire body or is it all seperated?

fender/hood/chassis/rearfenders/bumpers

[lethal nacelle]

all panels are broke down

[distant pendant]

so each panel should have it owns jbeam file

you can either use a exsisting jbeam from the game files of a part your adding on ie - widebody fender/ use Covet_fender from game files

or you can create your own jbeams - i can't help as i don't know how.

[gleaming cipher]

How should go about making the Jbeam for this?

[distant pendant]

so you'll need body jbeam, hood jbeam, fender jbeam, bumper jbeams, seat jbeams, etc

[lethal nacelle]

yeah I'm stealing the covet frame

[gleaming cipher]

Should i go to the very top with the Jbeam or

[distant pendant]

then all you need to do is change the name it's called for and the flex body name.

and match it with your part.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNqsS5a9XVM

like you both should probably watch that

typically start with just a singular addon to do

instead of body swaps.

get a understanding of the structure of how beam calls for materials and mesh.

and how file structure should be.

ya'll tryna do to much and will end up saying screw it.

it gets quite involved on entire body swaps

especially if the mesh is quite different than the jbeam

[lethal nacelle]

Thats what I've been referencing was thinking about swithcing it up and go with panels first

[distant pendant]

im not trying to dishearten you, just setting you up realistically

once you get the routine of things and can navigate easily, it gets easier

if you get confused what to do, you can always download a mod thats similar and see how they did it

[lethal nacelle]

your good it's like I'm the first monkey being launched into space

[distant pendant]

but don't ever take jbeams and upload it on something you've done unless you have permission.

[lethal nacelle]

I know better thats the darkside of coding

[distant pendant]

on the body jbeam

post it

[distant pendant]

show flex bodies

[distant pendant]

see the utv_body etc

that's the game calling for the games mesh file names

[modern python]

so rename those

[distant pendant]

same structure but like utv_body_TJ but need to do it for each part

[modern python]

ok

[distant pendant]

your mesh needs to be seperated

and named accordingly

it can't be just one giant piece.

[modern python]

so leave utv_body

[distant pendant]

don't delete

on the first part of flex bodies that's all the needs changed for it to call for your mesh name

so what is your mesh called in blender?

[modern python]

so that's what i need to rename?

[distant pendant]

show me your entire blender scene

[distant pendant]

it's just one big piece isn't it

[modern python]

uhh u made it one bog piece

[distant pendant]

you made it one big piece

[modern python]

with ctrl j

[distant pendant]

yeah....... no. You definitely need to watch that video

[modern python]

lemme spam ctrl z

[distant pendant]

nah dawg, you need to do some basic learning first. I ain't got the time to run you through it all.

[modern python]

dan g

[distant pendant]

Watch the video and repeat the process of it for each part

[modern python]

ok

[distant pendant]

that's exactly how i learned

[modern python]

ok i just seperated it again and im abt to watch the vid

[abstract panther]

can any one help me with intrior skins i have been trying for weeks and they wont work

[modern python]

this vid is confusing

[crystal wraith]

Anyone got a guide to the rally game mode and making pace notes in beamNG

[brittle warren]

https://alexebird.github.io/beamng-aipacenotes-mod/ id assume there using something close to this wich is a mod by one of the devs from last year

[modern python]

so basically i jbeam each part seperately and name them the same name as i do im blender

[crystal wraith]

It’s implemented into the game, idk about that, but there’s already one in game but I’m not sure how to use it

[lethal nacelle]

I think I got a plan

[gleaming cipher]

Where should i put Side Skirts to? like what Slot/Slot Type?

Maxxies Crown Vic btw

[brittle warren]

Im saying they probably used the mod from the dev and implemented it intop the game so it probably uses a system somewhat like that

[lethal nacelle]

break time

[modern python]

how does this look

@distant pendant

[modern python]

still doesnt work

[brittle warren]

are you exporting it as a dae and also dont have apostophes in the mesh name try to not have any puinctuation in the name

[lethal nacelle]

should I run fender or quarter panel

[modern python]

Yes I am exporting as a dae

[exotic ruin]

I coulda sworn that you could do decal roads longer than this before textures died. Am i missing something??

[brittle warren]

there is a texure length setting

[exotic ruin]

doesn't change anything

[lethal nacelle]

Still in jbeam hell but might of hit a breakthru

[lethal nacelle]

we've got errors

[lethal nacelle]

so I did something

here we go step one is done find a way to import the dae file one problem tho this is perm cuase I used the og file without noticing

[royal crater]

are you aware how to make a mod folder structure? You shouldn't be editing the original files directly that way

[lethal nacelle]

It was more so I thought I copied it and hadn't but got it fixed now moving on to the end goal

[iron sparrow]

blender 3.6 LTS or 4.2 LTS?

[iron sparrow]

someone pls tell which belnder version

*blender

[distant pendant]

are you asking which blender to get?

[iron sparrow]

yes

which version to download

seeing i have rather low enc pc and dont know anything about modding but want to mod

[pseudo hawk]

How do i rotate my meshlap? Rotating it in Blender (obviously appling the rotation) and exporting it doesnt change anything. Its always rotated like this 🥲

[crystal wraith]

just get it on steam

[brittle warren]

Object , apply all transforms

[pseudo hawk]

didnt work, tried it multiple times

[brittle warren]

Then you have a rotation applied on your mesh in the jbeam or multiple of the sane mesh in another dae

[winged lava]

is there a better way to measure distance than the odometer stream?

seem it might go based on wheel speed instead of airspeed

[magic spruce]

How do I add wheels into the game?

[brittle warren]

Same way you add anything in game copy a jbeam and edit to use your mesh

[distant pendant]

your doing it wrong already

you don't make the mesh one giant piece

[brittle warren]

Well he clearly said meshshlap lol. I guess he mean one mesh

[pseudo hawk]

Yeah, just one mesh. Its my first time trying to create a vehicle mod, but i am failing even at something this simple, i tried rotating it, applying etc but it just doesnt want to for some reason

[gleaming cipher]

Press control a and try all transforms. I had this issue before

[river grove]

Trying to meshslap can anyone tell me why this is happening?

[gleaming cipher]

Looks like there's a material issue what is it mapped to in blender?

[river grove]

So that fixed that problem now what about this?

[gleaming cipher]

Material & the Mesh isn't double sided

[river grove]

how do I make it double sided?

[gleaming cipher]

First make a material for it and make it a material file

[river grove]

got a tutorial on that?

[distant pendant]

as i've told everyone else you are biting off way more than you can chew

start with a singular part and learn how things work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNqsS5a9XVM

This will teach you how to make parts/ materials etc.

this aint like roblox

[river grove]

lol fr

[distant pendant]

each part as a individual skeleton so if you just put a giant body on one jbeam it wont ever work correctly

[river grove]

I just know what I want and I will do what it takes to get what I want

[crystal wraith]

so... start out small

[distant pendant]

thats dumb, learn the right way and stop expecting everyone to do everything for you

that's why no one wants to help you

your doing something the entirely wrong way and wanting step by step guides while doing it incorrectly

it's a waste of us mod helpers and your own time.

you either learn the proper way to do a half ass job even or don't bother.

[river grove]

Im not expecting shit from anyone I simply asked for help to understand why things arent working.

[distant pendant]

because your doing it the wrong way

[river grove]

and so??? Im learning fuck off if you dont have anything nice to say.

[distant pendant]

i litterally explained and gave you a perfect video for you to reference

get your head out of your butt

[river grove]

yeah and Im watching it rn

[distant pendant]

just a fair warning, even a "meshslap" body swap/ parts swapped mod takes on average 5-6 months with a experienced person.

[river grove]

I knew that, thats why this is a shitty model

[distant pendant]

i strongly suggest starting with simple addon parts till your comfortable

[river grove]

tried that couldnt figure it out, So I chose this

[gleaming cipher]

Personally, id recommend doin a custom part (modeled yourself) so get the simple things done like JBeam & Material's & UV mapping.

Don't go do meshslaps if you don't know what you're doing.

Learn the Absolute basics of JBeam & Materials First.

And modeling.

[distant pendant]

couldn't figure out something simple, so you go for harder. Makese sense

[heady trail]

This isnt easier

[river grove]

It clearly is I can actually get the meshslap to show up ingame :/

[distant pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

That video is a literal step by step on how to get parts into game, folder structure, materials etc.

If you can't follow that for basic understanding then I suggest maybe a easier game to mod.

[distant pendant]

it's just absurd how little people wanna get involved in one of the hardest games to mod

[river grove]

fuck you both...

[distant pendant]

im not talking just about you.

[brittle warren]

Sir follow the damn tutorial i help everyone here but what your saying is just absolutely absurd meshslapping a whole car is not easier than making a part for the car

[brittle warren]

clearly not lol

[river grove]

Nice sometimes.

rn Im a little pissed off because my shit isnt working blender keeps doing random shit and I cant find this god damn file

[distant pendant]

you gotta think man we deal with this alll the time. your situation isn't special

[river grove]

Im more than aware

[unique zealot]

hover over the mirror modifier and press ctrl + A to apply it and re export it

in object mode

[brittle warren]

limo coming soon

[river grove]

thx got it now just gotta find out why its only showing the innter layer of the model

[unique zealot]

the normals are facing inwards

[distant pendant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5JmmUtzd_4

red indicates tris mesh facing in, blue indiciates facing outward

looks like yours is facing inward instead of outward

[light pewter]

Wish I knew this shit sooner

[distant pendant]

the very first thing you new guys should do is learn blender.

I spent 8 weeks with the blender encylopedia learning it.

[river grove]

I did it and now its doing this, It did fix like half the vehicle but some spots are still messed up

[distant pendant]

show the model with the face orientation showing

from blender

[river grove]

can I get that in a form for dummies?

my brain is all sorts of fucked rn

[distant pendant]

see how this video is showing red and blue, show me the model in blender showing the red and blue

[river grove]

I think we found the problem but why does it remind me of spiderman?

[distant pendant]

select all the red tris and flipi the normals like the video says

if i post a video that answers your question. i expect you to watch it entirely

not blaze through it with a mild understanding

cause now i've had to answer your question more than once

not trying to be a dick, but you truly aren't applying yourself

[lethal nacelle]

erm

[distant pendant]

looks like your body mesh is incorrectly positioned

rotate it 180 and then hit cntrl a and apply all transformations

When you export make sure y axsis and z axis match on the export menu as the same as viewpoint

[river grove]

nah your good I watched it I guess I just didnt understand it

[lethal nacelle]

this is cursed

[modern python]

how did u even ingame it

[modern python]

me either ngl

[lethal nacelle]

honestly darkmagic I don't even understand the covet was sacrificed

[modern python]

what even is dark magic

[lethal nacelle]

something not to be trifled with

[lethal nacelle]

thankyou

[river grove]

@distant pendant Thanks for the help.

[modern python]

why dose it do this after i put it in game

it doesnt remove the stock doors after i equip

@distant pendant

[distant pendant]

yes because it's still calling for the doors from the body jbeam

[modern python]

how to remove

[distant pendant]

so now you need to go get the door jbeams and make em match same as you did with the body

[modern python]

ok

[lethal nacelle]

I call it covet adlo

[modern python]

so which one would i change

@distant pendant

@brittle warren

[brittle warren]

Bro dont tag people give someone time to respond you need to remove the utv_door_R and utv_doorpanel_r flexbody and replace them with yours

[modern python]

ohh mybbbb

and ok

[little portal]

Does anyone have experience with making clusters in beam? Ive got all the textures etc for the cluster but dont know how to concert it into a lua cluster

[distant pendant]

i've given you the tutorials that taught me, at this point you guys are on your own. I've helped the last 2 days with several new comers who want to do to much to quickly.

also i am extremely burnt out on beamng atm so that doesn't help either.

[little portal]

Html i mean

[exotic ruin]

Alright, Decal road on the left is on Johnson Valley, and even though i am out of render distance, the texture works the whole way through. On the right, is the Beam-Monsters flat map. Any clue why this decal road just dies?

[patent jetty]

idk if this really counts as modding (and i dont know where else to put it) but how do you delete the old toll booth in this map

[summer musk]

World editor-> object editor

why i no longer have txt ? i try to resolve it buit doesn't work

[pastel hull]

Hello!
I'm making an engine mod,like RK

Now, I have encountered "torqueModIntake"
If I use it in my mod,it works

I'm wondering,is this from BeamNG?
Is there a way I can find these?
Or... Any other way I can add power to my engine?

(I'm a newbie)

[crystal wraith]

You’re a newbie, but you’re making an engine mod like RK…

Start out smaller

[pastel hull]

That's what everyone says, always don't look high up for your dream game for example
You learn making mistakes,and 1 thing I learned,is to MAKE THINGS MODULAR

Thanks,while I do understand,I prefer not to

And... Is there an answer to my question? Please 😅

So far I got intake,I got radiator,engine turning on, transmission... Etc

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @crystal wraith (current: #230 - 14)

So instead of taking advice you turn it all down, I’m sure that’ll get you lots of help

Do you think I don’t know you learn by making mistakes? Seriously?

[pastel hull]

No,not saying that,saying I want to do this,thanks for the advice to,I'm not trying to be rude or anything,sorry if I seem

[pastel hull]

Again,sorry 😅

[snow inlet]

Helo im hoping someone can help me, Im currently a noob in modding but i managed to figure out engine swapping, My BIG issue now is the Left Half Shaft that keeps breaking, I know i need to strenghten a beam but i do not know which one in what file... Maybe someone can help me?

[river grove]

Can anyone tell me how to get the materials onto my meshslap? I cant find a tutorial on it

[distant pendant]

you first need to understand uv unwarpping

it's not just pick a material and it works on your mesh.

You must uv unwrap it, then position uv's according to the material you've selected.

Then you must create a material file and give it properties for your mesh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2hRMS2mWKY

have fun cause this is where the real tough stuff starts to happen

[inner heart]

there’s 3 torque modifier that’s vanilla in beamng, that, that but exhaust, and whatever was used in engine blocks

i wrote a piece of code a while ago to have more then 3 of them procedurally #modding-general message

[balmy gorge]

I'd like to create additional quick travel/points of interest on an existing map, how would I do this?

I've found guides and videos online on how to create spawn points, but I'm looking to add the quick travel/point of interest locations you see when pulling up the map during free roam.

[tacit halo]

only intake and exhaust

you can do some fancy stuff with some new things that have been recently added but i dont know how to do those

[inner heart]

ah, abusing components i see

[crystal wraith]

You need an image and they will appear on the map

[balmy gorge]

@crystal wraith I'm afraid I don't understand your comment.

I'm assuming a spawn point is different from a point of interest/fast travel point Is that correct? If so, how do I create a new one?

[crystal wraith]

I wish I could help more but I can’t reach my pc at the moment

[balmy gorge]

@crystal wraith It's all good. I'm just really surprised how sparse documentation is for a program that's so popular.

[minor moth]

uving is hard but you can always just Smart project the small and hardly seen shit lol

[warm sphinx]

Spawn points and quick travel points are the same thing no?

[crystal wraith]

They are

[balmy gorge]

@warm sphinx That's my question as well. Everything I've read/watched only talk about spawn points which I thought were just starting points you can pick from when you first load up the level.

But if they show up on the Points Of Interest section when you bring up the map and I can fast travel to them, that would be great.

[crystal wraith]

They do

[distant pendant]

smart project is terrible and doesn't do well when you've got to uv the front and sides then stitch em together

[minor moth]

did you like, not read what i said

small shit you barely see

i mean my ass just fucks off and does panels and all randomly to cut on uv space and pack it which is fine too

[distant pendant]

so how do you do a front bumper?

cause you can't just viewpoint hte front and smart project, cause then it warps the sides

[limpid cargo]

I have a mod for rally pacenote playback (linked below), does anyone know of a lua way to get the current race time (3 2 1 countdown) before a race start? I've found that there is a GUI hook for the race start app, but I specifically want to do it even if my mods GUI isn't there
https://www.beamng.com/resources/custom-rally-pacenotes.32263/

[distant pendant]

so how do you do a front bumper?

[minor moth]

depends on what a front bumper is

and thats another example of soemthign visible lol

small shit like screws/hinges or other small details

[warm sphinx]

Spawn points are quick travel points.

It might be possible to have them be ONLY quick travels and not spawns, but I don’t think it is

[distant pendant]

i am talking about the skin uv. Which you'd have to unwrap the forward facing portion and then the sides invididually and then stitch them together so the whole mesh uv appears flattened

[minor moth]

thats not what im talking about dude, and neither does that vid you sent

[distant pendant]

yes but smart projecting still doesn't flatten the mesh in uv form

which causes warping on textures

just look how vanilla uv are

[pastel hull]

Thx!

[distant pendant]

well yeah.

[sacred gazelle]

If I'm convering a car from LHD into RHD and steering wheel is on the ground because of pivot point in Blender, is there a way I can ensure it's placed on the right in the actual game?

[inner heart]

steering wheel is a prop

[distant pendant]

props need to have their origin point at the center of the mesh.

[crystal wraith]

anyone know why my plate appear as texas lol

ive tried changing the name end everything

[lunar spear]

wonderin what y'all use to make your texture formats .dds? all my stuff is a png, trying to convert them to .dds with gimp but it aint workin

[crystal wraith]

https://hicompress.com/convert/png-converter/png-to-dds people might bash me but idc, i use this lol

[lethal nacelle]

int work under swing any tips for fixing the hud in jbeam

[brittle warren]

The game does it for you

[lunar spear]

and then decides to fuck you over when you go to pack it

atleast thats what its doing for this specific thing im doing lmao

[brittle warren]

Just copy them from from the temp folder it should make the DDS and you just copy it

[lunar spear]

huh, i thought the stuff that got sent to the temp folder just remained a PNG

but cool

[crystal wraith]

anybody?

jbeam and json should be correct

[brittle warren]

I honestly don't know anything about plates lol

[crystal wraith]

it should be stupid easy lmao, for some reason it just wont work

[brittle warren]

well i know plates use html and stuff

[crystal wraith]

html is optional for plates, thats just for gen and stuff

[lunar spear]

learned that dds files make the filesize much larger 🔥

omw to just keep suffering with pngs

[crystal wraith]

yup

[brittle warren]

DDS loads faster though

[lunar spear]

bro it made the mod size go from 198mb to 626mb

[brittle warren]

Im telling you dds loads faster and idk how tf u gained 400mb with just dds files cause mine has never done that

[lunar spear]

dont ask me i dunno shit bro it just went up a fuckload

[brittle warren]

what are the image resolutions?

[lunar spear]

4096 !!

[crystal wraith]

thats why lol

[brittle warren]

ohh id downscale em lol you dont need 4k textures

[crystal wraith]

why do you need 4k for everything lol

thats exactly why the size got so high

[brittle warren]

2048x2048 Gives plenty of detail so try with that size

[lethal fiber]

(Apologies if this isn't allowed)

ISO: someone to help/commission(?) the suspension jbeam for this 410 sprint car I've been working on for literally years atp.

AFAIK there aren't any vanilla cars with full torsion bar suspensions, front and rear straight axle, birdcage, W link, drag link, etc., and writing suspension from scratch has kept me stumped for a few months now.

I just wanna get this thing rolling (pun slightly intended)

[pastel sandal]

I've already asked this question, but I'm gonna ask it again. Does anyone know where I can find the code for the compression break for the engine? Break sound that I can actually change the sound of for my own.

[brittle warren]

The Jake brake sound uses custom events which is going to be really tough to replace

[lunar spear]

will do

[dry cargo]

yooooo i want to add a dodge chalenger but when i go to the beamng.mod it finds it but when i try to install it i can't

[fickle raptor]

how can you properly scale a wheel? i tried basing my wheels off of an already existing wheel and i also used the measure tool but the size is still off

[brittle warren]

Import the base wheels dae and scale it to match

[fickle raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-computer-notebook-explaning-gif-21152267

[brittle warren]

Is that sarcastic or?

[fickle raptor]

kinda, i feel stupid

[brittle warren]

Oh lol there are like 5 wheel dae's so I just import them all to check Wich one has the wheel I'm looking for

[inner heart]

dae is actually just xml text files under the hood so you might be able to just ctrl f in them and find the one that have the wheel

[tacit halo]

commissions for that sort of stuff isnt generally done, you are better off learning for yourself

maybe @limber slate might be interested since he does racecars, but im not sure at all if he does commissions

[river grove]

How do I add another mirror modifier after I applied one and saved the model Im trying to finish it and I cant adjust the shell of the vehicle and I cant make it even without the modifier

In blender btw

[opaque trail]

Why is my livery color so colorless but on adobe its alive ?

[viral juniper]

Which DDS format are you saving it in? I believe color maps should be in BC7 SRGB

[opaque trail]

Where can i find that?

[opaque trail]

there is no BC7 SRGB

[viral juniper]

Have you tried this one?

[opaque trail]

Yes it uses taht as standard format

[viral juniper]

I'm not quite sure how to help then. You could try saving it as a .PNG and let the game automatically convert it to the correct format, and see if results change (Make sure to add the .color.png suffix to the end of the image's name for this)

[opaque trail]

Will try

Problem solved thanks!

[viral juniper]

Awesome, glad to help

[lethal nacelle]

tires pos is it in it's own jbeam file or is it part of the body file

[winged lava]

Whats the best way to measure distance traveled?

Looks like odometer goes on wheel speed or something it's super inaccurate

[quartz mountain]

Blender isn't a program I can successfully use until I see a full tutorial which shows me step by step how to 3D model monster trucks with it & replace one set of shocks with another. All monster trucks produced for BeamNG are still denied the CRD stock dual coil-over shocks for the Bigfoot X, Bigfoot XI, & Vaters Cantilevers.

[crystal wraith]

Modeling a monster truck is probably one of the hardest things you can do

[quartz mountain]

That still doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to do so; but without a tutorial, it's impossible for me.

[crystal wraith]

anything related to monster truck is on the beam monsters youtube channel

[brittle warren]

Well there are no tutorials in specifically how to make a monster truck in blender and the beam monsters trucks are extremely accurate as far as i know

[quartz mountain]

Yet no one bothers to help me at all.

[crystal wraith]

taking the time to explain to someone and teach them hundereds of hours of modeling isnt exactly easy

[brittle warren]

Bruh there is nothing to help with just look up how to use blender

[mystic bridge]

fox sprinter 2020

[spice glen]

looks cool, would you like to make a skin for it?

[mystic bridge]

You could try it first, it has all the things you need to make your own skins for the sprinter

[spice glen]

okay I'll try thanks!

[mystic bridge]

[dry cargo]

I plan on making a mod, does anyone have any tips to give out?

[spice glen]

somehow it works! do you have an idea you want to create for garvil scout? for example ambulance transport poland?
i have tried many times to make a skin for garvil and it doesn't work

[mystic bridge]

I would recommend you look at and base yourself on the existing skins, little by little you will understand how they work.

[spice glen]

okay! sorry but I'm just starting out with skin creation
and I don't really understand it yet

[crystal wraith]

Anyone know how or could make me a map controller to change a materials color on the fly?

Like a LED light, and a little box in the corner of my screen that I can use to change the color

[jolly coral]

can someone help me learn moding

[distant pendant]

what kind of modding

[jolly coral]

car modding

[distant pendant]

like making a car?

[jolly coral]

yes

if anyone could make me a drift car for beam il paypal yall

[distant pendant]

I strongly advise agaisnt that. Learn small steps first with just making parts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNqsS5a9XVM

Here is a good video to start adding parts

no one really does commisions, as even the most basic of entire car mods take on average of 7months to 2 years to create.

beamng modding is super intense and shouldn't be taken lightly. Not to discourage you, but it is not user friendly.

[jolly coral]

whould you be able to make one for me?\

[distant pendant]

500 usd.

[unique zealot]

FYI its not advised to use modland

[river grove]

Modland does suck.

[lethal nacelle]

yes

[desert holly]

Hi everyone, im need help, im making mod, I send a mod to a friend, for some reason he has the previous version of the mod, some things also roll back to the previous version, when packing the mod, but when I archive the mod, I see that for some reason the mod really does change some textures in jbeam to those in the latest version

[blazing wharf]

hey, I'm new here, but I've heard this before. Why is modland not advised?

[brittle warren]

Its all stolen mods

[blazing wharf]

Ah

thank you

[winged lava]

is there a good way to track distance? should I just calculate it based on airspeed manually? odometer is inaccurate

[vapid elk]

Not EVERYTHING is stolen but like 90% of it is

Most of it is low quality meshlaps that would get made fun of to hell on the forums

[brittle warren]

mpost is low quality stolen mesh slaps from the forums

[vapid elk]

The only really decent thing I’ve seen from Modland that isn’t stolen is the Porsche 992

[umbral falcon]

Is anyone willing to teach me, an absolute newcomer, how to make skins this weekend?

[crystal wraith]

Use YouTube

[umbral falcon]

Okay, sorry I bothered you.

[crystal wraith]

You didn’t bother anyone

There just plenty easy YouTube videos that’s a lot quicker than someone teaching

[distant pendant]

Heres a huge tip, go ingame select garage, select decals, but just save the skin from there. Then look in unpacked mods for your skin name and boom, the materials and files are done and you can just edit the cp, m, r, D files in photoshop

[umbral falcon]

Totally didn't follow any of that. Thanks for trying though!

[mystic bridge]

I need help, I can't get the hood to open, and the trunk does open but very abruptly, almost breakin

Wat???

[gleaming cipher]

Does anyone know how to turn down map grip?

[little portal]

Any mods that managed to get a hybrid working witht he electric motor on the transmission?

[simple trench]

It doesn't work.

My parts won't even show in the parts selector :/

[distant pendant]

Then you did not do it correctly

[cosmic robin]

can someone tell me how to remove these things in the world editor

[warm sphinx]

Which things?

[cosmic robin]

the sidewalk thingy in the middle

[warm sphinx]

Click on it and press delete.

If it selects multiple parts you will need to go into blender and delete it there and make a new object without it

[cosmic robin]

how do i put it into blender

is there a westocast dae or sum

[warm sphinx]

Import dae

Figure out what dae it is and just import it into blender

[cosmic robin]

where is it

[warm sphinx]

Can be found in the zipped level folder

Level/Art/shapes/

The directory should be visible in the inspector when you click on it

[cosmic robin]

idk what its called tho

[warm sphinx]

When you click on it in world editor it will say

[cosmic robin]

uhhhh

i see no model

oh i found it

[warm sphinx]

In the world editor inspector

[cosmic robin]

its very big

[warm sphinx]

Yes. Probably all the curbs on the whole map

[cosmic robin]

ok i exported it what now

[warm sphinx]

You imported it, deleted the curb and re-exported it?

[cosmic robin]

yeah

[warm sphinx]

Make a new unpacked mod folder with the correct directories and put your new dae in that folder

[cosmic robin]

the map is a mod already

its already its own map

[warm sphinx]

WCUSA?

What mod

[cosmic robin]

its modified west coast

my own street tracks

[warm sphinx]

Nice.

Well in that case just plop it into your level/art/shapes/your choice

You’ll probably have to reload the lua and or the map for it to appear

[cosmic robin]

yeah lemme reload

lemme restart gane ctrl L did nothing

[distant pendant]

When I change offset it is not changin the offset at all

[crystal wraith]

doesnt work at all for me

i got it ig nvm

changed the glass texture from that black

[river grove]

Is making a custom Jbeam easier?

Or is there a better way to do it?

[brittle warren]

yes and no for something like that i would probably start with the hseries jbeam since its more or so shaped like that already

[river grove]

ok

uhhh

The h series is still in the vehicles folder correct? I dont see it

nvm I found it

I can only find the cabover Im gonna hate this

[brittle warren]

the hseries is a van?

[unique zealot]

the + causing a syntax error?

[distant pendant]

it was, i got it fixed.

[unique zealot]

i shouldve looked at the time lmao

[river grove]

Is this good?

[brittle warren]

um does it explode in game?

[river grove]

idk yet

havent loaded it ingame

[brittle warren]

oh well just check in game see what it does and go from there jbeaming is kinda difficult and tedious

[river grove]

ok

is it the same as a meshslap putting the jbeam file in or?

[unique zealot]

me and exploding jbeams name a more iconic duo

[river grove]

LOL

[crystal wraith]

anyone know how to make a ingame app window to disable/re-enable certain scenetree folders

[ruby kestrel]

with the Traffic Manager UI app under the map editor, if you click the down-arrow and minimise the popout window, it auto closes. Slight issue, trying to open it again opens it in that minimised state; Which makes it auto-close again. Anyone got a fix?

i've tried putting the manager window really close and hotswapping to un-minimise the window for a few minutes, to no avail

[inner spoke]

Can anyone tell me how to make a trailer for beam I looked for a tut but I can’t find one anywhere

[distant pendant]

@proud solstice How would you approach these bevels that end into the face. I've attempted twice and although successful somewhat, looked like absolute dog water. I am really struggling picturing how this should be laid out.

[tacit halo]

Act as if they don't exist

[tacit halo]

Basically just model it like this then add the lower part later

[distant pendant]

i've tried that a few times, it comes down to when I start needing to make the bevel is when i get screwed up. I'd so you what I had but already wiped from frustrastion ll

[tacit halo]

Then just don't do the wheel until you have the skill for it 🤷‍♂️

[fluid torrent]

Create a dome like surface that is the lower part, and then add the top part to it, then subtract from the dome with a fillet tool.

[proud solstice]

I just

then bake bevels with bevel node

gets good results specially if you have good uv packing

Working on an edit of the Johnson Valley map. 2 questions: 1) How do I crop the map to a specific area like the big rock crawling mountain? 2) Looking at the map in the world editor I see what I assume are asset groups for different trails (trail_8, trail_3, etc). My question: How can I find out where that asset/asset group is located on the map? Bonus points if I can instantly teleport there from where I'm at.

[river trail]

@halcyon inlet add me pls so i can dm u, i have an idea based off of ur traffic mod cars

[unique zealot]

for the PersistentID, will it be regenerated automatically when its loaded up

[trim pendant]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone could maybe, you don't need to, add a mod for scratches in on the cars when they come in contact with something

[crystal wraith]

@sage pawn hey man, i dont mean to bother, but i know you know about showroom maps. Is it possible to have a little menu (similar to your showroom menu) to change colors of point and spot lights? I know nothing about coding.

[crystal wraith]

i have everything already in simgroups btw

[modern python]

how to unlink meshes after joining them with ctrl j

[proud sierra]

How do i make the terrain painter actually paint asphalt and not just asphalt textured sand

[sage pawn]

Yes. I probably should add it however the main issue is that these maps rely on baked cubemaps and those won't change color

[river forge]

Yes, you can use any vehicle or map stuff from the base game without permission

[ember wagon]

Has anyone ever used real photos of nature as texture and not faked ones?

[ebon nimbus]

Wow new channel?

[ember wagon]

For map making.

Guess it never faked always real snapshots

[crystal wraith]

No I mean, do you know how to go about making one? I really need something like that for some maps of mine desperately

[sage pawn]

you can check flowgraph of showroom_v2 map that is in game, its using flowgraph instead of mainlevel.lua code

[regal latch]

How does one rotate a static given a direction vector. Now it needs more then that so i tried gaining the up vector from the statics rotation quat my_static:getRotation() but the up vec extractor from below always only calculates a up vector of vec3(0, 1, 0)

local function quatFromQuatAndDir(rot_quat, dir_vec)
    -- formula from here https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/56471-extracting-direction-vectors-from-quaternion/
    local up_vec = vec3(
        2 * (rot_quat.x * rot_quat.y - -rot_quat.w * rot_quat.z),
        1 - 2 * (rot_quat.x * rot_quat.x + rot_quat.z * rot_quat.z),
        2 * (rot_quat.y * rot_quat.z + -rot_quat.w * rot_quat.x)
    )
    return quatFromDir(up_vec, dir_vec)
end

That unfortunately leads to the static only ever pointing correctly in the X+- axis but never right on the Y+-. Eg pictures, its supposed to point at the white ball

i tried to bruteforce my way through it, but am out of ideas

[ember wagon]

Fk thats insane lol

[warm sphinx]

Did you press the eye icon to make them invisible?

[brittle warren]

Mihht have clicked hidden in the inspector

[wraith kelp]

Nah this is what it looks like

it was a bunch of decals scattered but it all moved to one spot and disappeared

As long as its not standard automation quality then thats fine

[raven kernel]

-# Uh oh

[balmy gorge]

Watching some tutorials it looks like the closest I could do if I just wanted a map that was the rock crawling/mountain portion of Johnson Valley would be to copy the heightmap, select just the section I'm interested in and delete the rest, then use that heightmap as the heightmap for a new map. Does that sound correct?

[modern python]

L3DT seems to have been abandoned. Their entire website is mangled at this point and all their documentation pages are 404.

anyways, what are some alternatives? Ive looked at Gaea, Terragen, and even Tried messing with the Torque3d engine. The problem is that none of these are as intuitive as the L3DT Wizard

[shut pollen]

vue has some cool features. you can use it to simulate where plants grow, where water pools/runs, erosion and what kind of surface an area would have. it is a little more engineering sided over terrain gen stuff though. there was also a solid world gen app coming to steam, but it seems to be stuck in limbo lmao. probably some fun blender plugins as another alternative

[leaden tinsel]

hmmm ill have to checkout vue. do you have a link to it?

[shut pollen]

will have to give me a sec, sick as a dog and havent thought about vue in ages haha

Hey, i don't know if world editor counts as modding but how could i add an object such as a cube or a wedge and make it invisible (its for invis collisions so my map has more of a arcadic burnout feel rather than a realistic one, plus the ramps deflate the tires for some reason..!?!)

[strange violet]

anyone know some good mod servers?

[frozen sleet]

Dude I saw that ramp design and I had to do a massive double-take. Looking forward to the rest of your work!!

[frozen sleet]

Not the place for that. Go look for the BeamMP Discord server.

[crystal wraith]

Not trying to be a party pooper, but it is a port js

[inner musk]

Problemo solva!

Before:

[dry cargo]

1. why is your UI like that?
2. yes it counts as modding (in #modding-maps )
3. the ram pops likely because of the sharp angle of the collision mesh. jsut sink the ramp into the ground slightly

[inner musk]

for 1. It's temporary

Also regarding the ramp the map is one whole mesh

[dry cargo]

ah

[inner musk]

i figured out how to add a object to replace the collison, however i do not know how to make it invisible.....

after:

it does fix the tires deflating ramp issue tho

[dry cargo]

I don't think its possible without removing the collision (which leaves popped tires again)

[inner musk]

hmmmm

wait what if i try and get an invisble texture somehow.....

[dry cargo]

you could make it just low enough for the texture of the ramp to appear, but high enough for the collision to take place

btw move to #modding-maps

Not that mod.

If you go where the people that know about that mod are, you'll get help. If you don't, you won't.

It's your choice to search in a relatively irrelevant environment, but the most you'll likely get is people being mad at you for taking up unnecessary space while they attempt to talk about other things.

i have a beammp server, and im having a kinda but not kinda problem. the server log is just spamming periodically " invalid code got in identify: '?' " and the "?" is always a different symbol, but its not affecting the server's performance(i think?). does anybody know whats causing this?

[unique zealot]

you're better off asking in the beammp server

[dry cargo]

1. Ask in beammp
2. This is for making mods.

[regal latch]

This is normal when open anything up to the internet. Automated bots scan internet services across the entire world and try to determine what service is behind a port by sending packets of known protocols. That way they can know "ok this port on that ip is a ssh service" etc

[midnight shard]

Are there any trustworthy 3rd party modding sites?I really hate having to guess what cars are what because of the naming system.

[topaz iron]

not really. The forum might have irl cars, it's just the ingame repo that doesn't have them

[midnight shard]

Oh really that’s great thanks

[cunning finch]

that makes the game better, but also decreases ur fps

there's purchasedGarages.json in your save files if you wanna give yourself some of them

[hearty egret]

Heya, just wanted to ask about something I was curious for quite some time. Is there a mod that uses a rotary engine as main engine, like a Mazda rx7 rip-off but with in-game company names?

[proud solstice]

kljp also adds rotaries

[rocky marsh]

what are the best car mods on repo or forums

[dapper maple]

is there a mod so when i do oval racing using ai hotlaps they dont slow down on the corners because its annoying

[tacit halo]

id say the sigma uses it as a secondary option, i think you mean the hirochi rush?

[sand dune]

is there any way in beamng we can implement a system like this? A two plate system (for example HK-GUANGDONG 2 plate region)

[fickle raptor]

Just use 2 plates instead of 1?

[sand dune]

but I can't apply diff license plate format

[hard gyro]

Need urgent help, about to upload a mod and I can’t remember how to add a thumbnail for the repo.

Honestly, a 3rd gen Ford Ranger mod would be sick.

(I want my truck in Beam)

[brittle warren]

There is a group working on a ford ranger rn idk what the 3rd gen is but theres is the older non sqaurebody one

[twilit python]

3rd gen is 98 to 11

This guy.

[brittle warren]

yea thats the one they are doing

[twilit python]

LETS GO

Who's making it?

[brittle warren]

im checking if i can send u an invite to there discord

[twilit python]

Awesome!

I'd be happy to help if they'd want it. I own a 3rd gen IRL and I know a bit of modding stuff. Making a car as we speak.

[rustic lichen]

Does anyone in here have the new kenemation s class? (W223)

[unique zealot]

ew

[crystal wraith]

Asking for a leak + a shitty mod, what an idiot

[rustic lichen]

Getting offended over a question + lacking reading comprehension, what a waste of space

[crystal wraith]

I read your question just fine why else would you be asking for the mod

Clearly if you didn’t use google, you ain’t gonna buy it

Waste of space?, look at your corny profile picture and bio

[unique zealot]

wouldnt be giving it out either way

[crystal wraith]

Not to mention you’re too poor and unemployed to spend $5 on a mod

[unique zealot]

kenemation mods arent worth it anyway

[crystal wraith]

Still, you can find $5 on the floor if you walk long enough

[unique zealot]

better spent on lucas's barstow or theo's avoir

[crystal wraith]

Or just stick to free mods in general

I personally haven’t bought anything lore friendly other than dfa

[twilit python]

I'll send you a mod. (totally not a virus to shut down the entirety of you're ISP systems)

[crystal wraith]

You need to delete system32 to activate the mod aswell

[brittle warren]

if it asks for permission gotta put in your password as well trust its safe

[worn nexus]

Hey im new to the game how do i get mods? I want to do offroading like pre runners and stuff lmk pls

[silver sluice]

Hey, im not sure where to ask this, but some I series based mods like the W123 (shown here) and W124 (not shown here) have these issues when the glass breaks, any solution?

im pretty sure some other mods do this but i havent discovered it yet

[unique zealot]

its using old textures that have been refreshed

[silver sluice]

i am aware of that much, just want to find out how to remove this texture in general

[jaunty panther]

is there a way to continue playing after watching a replay (after you have restarted the game, so i can have the same cars and states they were in)?

[brittle warren]

remove the highlighted section of the windshield jbeam

[silver sluice]

OHHH MYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD THANK YOU SO MUCH I FUCKING LOVE YOU BRO THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH HOLY SHIIIIIITTTTTTT

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @brittle warren (current: #10 - 155)

[silver sluice]

it seems that there is no jbeam for the winshield for this mod

There is glass, but nothing else

[brittle warren]

it is usually just called glass

[silver sluice]

ahhhh got it

thank you very much bro I got trolled and cussed at for asking in another server :\

ok, so we got a few

[brittle warren]

id just remove them all

[silver sluice]

Oh okay bro thank you so much man hope you have a really good day

the CMCP was pretty angry towards me for asking it, not very helpful

[torpid fossil]

anyone know how i can swap a spoiler from a mod to a mod? im new to this and nobody answers me anywhere else.

[silver sluice]

probably by adding it to the 3d model of the car

[brittle warren]

well probably cause your technically editing someone elses mod but as long as you dont plan on sharing it it should be fine

[silver sluice]

I dont share mods, lol i used to play rigs of rods and I know all about the private mods and what happens when leaks happen

yea sorry again but this can be deleted right?

[brittle warren]

no just the lines that say deform group

[silver sluice]

oh shit alright man thank you

thanks @brittle warren

what the

does this matter or

can this be booted to

[brittle warren]

nah

[silver sluice]

alright so this is the end product

[brittle warren]

well its kinda dificult because the jbeams are completely difficult

[silver sluice]

hopefully this works

[brittle warren]

should

[silver sluice]

yay

[torpid fossil]

ik trying it first

would i just delete everything but the spoler, extract it to unpcked and change the jbeam from there essetially?

[silver sluice]

i dont think thats how it works

[mortal vale]

Anyone know how to export a track builder track to blender and back and have it show up in game? I tried following a tutorial but when i stick it back into beam the track has no volume or mass and is just a tiny square that stays forever the same size

[silver sluice]

alright one issue

just the rear window

[brittle warren]

do the same for the backlight

[silver sluice]

backlight jbeam? or the same glass

[brittle warren]

should be in the glass jbeam

[silver sluice]

alright doing that rn thanks

[torpid fossil]

how do i add part to slot?

it just says spoiler where do i add😩😭

[glacial forum]

Are you trying to add a part that goes in that slot or add a new slot?

[torpid fossil]

so im trying to add a spoiler to the already existing spoiler slot. i got it in game meaning the spoiler shows up but the trunks vanished. do i have to start fiddling with jbeam now?

[torpid fossil]

i forgot to reply to you but up there

[glacial forum]

I'm not sure why the trunk would disappear unless the flexbody got overwritten or something, try checking the console with `

[torpid fossil]

that probably let me check

[torpid fossil]

because im silly and replaced the trunk

i dont know where to add my spoiler, like i dont see where the other 4 are listed you understand?

[glacial forum]

the other 4 spoilers?

[torpid fossil]

that are already an option, im adding one.

in game i mean

[glacial forum]

you'd have to make a new one in the spoiler jbeam, prolly would be easiest to just copy/paste one of the other ones and change the names of the flexbody and the part itself

[torpid fossil]

there is no spoiler jbeam

[glacial forum]

are they further down in the trunk jbeam?

[torpid fossil]

nah, only 1 trunk here and spoiler is only listed in slots.

[glacial forum]

do you know the name of the author?

or can you send me the mod

[torpid fossil]

dming it

[glacial forum]

ok

anyone know how to make the dummy sit normally on the seat of the Generic Quad mod?

hey bro sorry to bother you again, but how can I fix issues like this? is it the same process but I delete something else?

[brittle warren]

Thats a broken uv map

[silver sluice]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

so fucked? or can be unfucked

[brittle warren]

could be but thats something you have to change model wise and we dont really promote people messing with other peoples mdoel files

[silver sluice]

alright into the bin the mods goes

shame, realy love the W220

[brittle warren]

Does the author just not mod anymore or just doesnt wanna fix it?

[silver sluice]

Idk man, it was from 2 years ago the download, I think it might not be his model though

I think its Kenemation product

[brittle warren]

ohhhh

[silver sluice]

yea well too bad the W220 wont happen
