does anyone know the mod or ingame menu that MonsterMotoring uses in some of his videos, he uses it to tune car (ex adding turbos and drag slicks) right from in the game. Thx

[spark slate]

Is there a way to have an event trigger on by default?

I'd like this to be on by default, not have to turn it on everytime.

[neon oxide]

I made a dynamic ecu with lua in beamng ! (took so long to figure out how to do it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKF-2FrtTwo

[cerulean kindle]

making progress! cardbox without collisions following the path, sadly I need to keep spawning them, cuz I cant move a static object for now 😦

[distant pendant]

whats the deal wit the cardboard box?

[cerulean kindle]

YESSSSSSSSSSS i did it!!!

LETS GOOOOO

[cerulean kindle]

cuz cardboard only have 1 node, so it was easy to modify and test on it, now I will need to modify an entire car will all his parts I think and make it not collide, but the idea is there, I will try to make it smooth with interpolation if chatgpt is smart so I don't need to record ech frame position, but yeah, the general idea of its there

@regal latch any ideas?

[mighty brook]

Hi guys, could you help me please, i dev a little test mod in lua, but nothing happens on console 😦 even the json is not execute. But I can see my mod in mod menu in game

[cerulean kindle]

so funny playing with data, this is the track layout from the ghostcar I'm hopping to be avble to show this over your time at the end of the rally, so you can see in wich sectors you are going fast or slow

[grave stone]

anyone know how i could add a license plate for this car? it has no slots for one

[unique zealot]

for a start, that's the graphics settings, not the vehicle config

second, if thats some mod somewhere, then its up to the modder to add one

[grave stone]

oh i know that dw i was just changing some graphic stuff

[cerulean kindle]

step by step

every day I'm closer, now I guess it's time for the quaternions stuff for rotations

btw, it has no collisions that model so you can go through it

anf for transparency I think the best option is make it all glass haha

[glacial forum]

is it like a ghost for previous times or just like a thing to show you where to go?

[tight shuttle]

is dither transparency an option? (for performance reasons)

[cerulean kindle]

its a ghost of your best time exactly your best time

[cerulean kindle]

its has no collisions, no nodes and its a static object, 0 phyiscs are computed on that ghost,

[tight shuttle]

i mean graphics-wise

[cerulean kindle]

oh, true, when I added the front windshield and back windshield ,I did notice a little drop on performance, that's true

I can create my own material with alpha channel without reflections maybe?

[tight shuttle]

that works

and i'd also avoid clearcoat where possible

[cerulean kindle]

nice tips! I will give it a try, tomorrow

[cerulean kindle]

its just me? or it's impossible to get a quaternion? I'm getting them put they are not updating, always showing the same

[cerulean kindle]

found it, I think?
local vid = be:getPlayerVehicleID(0)
local cocheJugador = scenetree.findObjectById(vid)
local matrix = cocheJugador:getWorldTransform()

[tacit halo]

the beamng devs allow it otherwise they woulda said something

and im not wrong for wanting to get something out of years of work for making a mod

[tacit halo]

im struggling to understand what you are trying to say, what does the 2nd sentence mean? i dont get the meaning

[tacit halo]

oh i understand now alright

yeah i mean theres also a difference between a paid mod and a paid commision

paid mods get sold to many people thats why they are "cheap" but some people dont understand that commissioning something means you have to pay for the thousunds of people that would buy it

[cerulean kindle]

its hard to focus on the road when you are looking and thinking about what have I done to be at this point.

[eager moss]

Yea (i think i understand what you said lol)

[tight shuttle]

-# what episode of vinesauce corruption stockpile is this

[tacit halo]

i think hes making a ghost car

[tight shuttle]

ik, i've seen it before

[tacit halo]

you saw a ghost shock

[tight shuttle]

the random-ass rotation just reminds me of a gamecube corruption or something

[silver orchid]

Who wanna play beam mp?

[cerulean kindle]

im busy fighting imaginary quaternions or whatever they are called

[still canopy]

beam already has transparency, idk if you could use that

also awsome project to add ghosts to beam

[still canopy]

its in the vehicle debug, again idk if it is any use to you, but its there

[cerulean kindle]

I will look at it! but not sure if I will surive the rotations problems, if not, I will focus on the delta time part and abandon ghost

[maiden scaffold]

Iirc the vehicle debug transparency is a special thing that only can apply to vehicles

[silver orchid]

Who wanna play beam

[cerulean kindle]

OMG.... let me drop a clip here realqquick

also that entry on the 1st harpin at kenblockstyle

I know, I know I did cheat a bit using a flat rotation instead of a full quaternion

[snow fossil]

who has a free nissan nv350 mod

[glacial forum]

this is so cool, is there any performance hit from having to render the ghost?

[cerulean kindle]

no idea, i'm just at exploration phase, to see if its possible, I'm only using chatgpt I have no idea in programming or beamng api i'm just exploring

[crystal wraith]

Do people even try stuff anymore or use google anymore?

[bright mortar]

does anyone have a vs sedan mod with all the body options like the clubby, ss ,s pack, gtsr

[umbral falcon]

Take a hint, mistah. Fo' da most paht, this is fo' people who actually want tah share what dey're doin'. This ain't no place to go askin', and I can pretty cleahly tell dere's a lotta pissed folks around here.

[bright mortar]

whats wrong with me asking a question

[umbral falcon]

Nothing's wrong with you asking a question. However, the message directly above you clearly displayed, as far as I can tell, a pretty popular view of coming to this channel for mod links.

[umbral falcon]

So, it's not your fault, it's just how it turned out to be.

[bright mortar]

na i looked on google and patreon and couldnt fine anything there thats why im here

[bright mortar]

for about 1hr

[umbral falcon]

Ah, in that case, I'm sorry.

[bright mortar]

ah no promlem

[umbral falcon]

I don't mean to stereotype you, I just tend to have a dislike for people with the "newcomer" thing asking for mods.

[sly oak]

anyone experienced with jbeam?

i need help with something small

[cerulean kindle]

a bit much transparency ops

[still canopy]

is the gohst just a 3d model, like u can change it to whatever or how does it work?

[cerulean kindle]

it in the future I hope gets your car model, stripp al the parts, puts the nodes on 0 weight it make it static and next time you have that striped model with your best time, but I'm not using hottlapping, it uses his own sectors and microsectors systems, for now It just a vivace custom modification

[woeful shadow]

is there any way to generate a new merged foliage .dds file? I am retexturing the trees and the merged foliage lod looks pretty bad. I feel like it might be a question for a dev, but I dont want to bother them

[brittle warren]

Didnt you use chat gpt for all of this?

If so bro is a genius lol chat gpt sucks most of the time

[cerulean kindle]

in rally mode...

and in grid map, why they are so much different? any texture experts?

[still canopy]

gridmap is kinda wierd with textures in general. sometimes textures load in other maps but not in gridmap and sometimes the other way around, in my experience

[cerulean kindle]

yah, I said "I hope" cuz I'm just testing to see if its even possible to do it, about "chat gpt sucks" ? not really if you prompt it correctly and you know what you want, the trick is creating new chats, finishing with "create a prompt of this chat for the next chat" so you start fresh carring out the bits, if you stay on the same chat, you will end up talking about WorldWar2

[cerulean kindle]

ok, maybe its that, I was on gird map cuz reloading the scene was easy and faster, I guess I need to do it on a rallystage? and reload the rallystage each change?

[still canopy]

see if its diferent in other normal maps, bc if it isnt then its js fine

[cerulean kindle]

so its on that map? cuz on this one kinda works, maybe its a clearcoat layer or something like that? I will keep messing arround

@still canopy thanks!

np

[tacit halo]

personally i would just use a "generic car" as a model that has a single material

it will be miles easier than whatever you want to do (automatically taking the config you are using and making it a "ghost"

[cerulean kindle]

you mean keep it the way I have it now? I can join anyrally that always will be this vivaceasphalt modifyed as a ghostcar

[cerulean kindle]

vs

I did not change anything between thoose two... it's just perfect on the second screenshot, how I wanted to look like, but bruh on the other rallystage it's unplayable

[glacial forum]

I wonder if it'd be possible to have the like wireframe from when you do the rewind thing to reset your vehicle

[cerulean kindle]

@glacial forum you mean this?

[glacial forum]

yeah

[cerulean kindle]

or you mean the quad wirefrime like this?

maybe one day I will try to make this beast into beamng

[cerulean kindle]

I think I found the problem, cuz beamng is trying to load 2 textures with same name, so cuz its the same car, it gets conffused

[undone cedar]

Can somebody help me fix this please? I dont know how to fix it

btw i mean the yellow part with link target not found and all of the yellow parts on the second picture

[fervent violet]

Hi, is it possible to port skins from other games, like DiRT 5, if the models are similar enough? Also, where can I find a good tutorial for using the skin editor

[cerulean kindle]

the delta time on top, is accurate now. 😄 notsure if I want to keep the ghost car tho

[tired mason]

Direct port? No
Salvaging bits and pieces to cut the recreation effort in half? Probably.

[fervent violet]

How does the skin making process go?

[tired mason]

As for skin editor, I would personally just skip it and use external photo editor instead.

[fervent violet]

External photo editor? What do you mean exactly? I'm new lol

[cursive granite]

like gimp, photoshop, ect

[fervent violet]

So edit the paint?

Which file should I edit?

[cursive granite]

Yes. That I can't help you on. I'm just learning that myself. I've done over a decade of GTAIV or V mods, beamng is new to me

[fervent violet]

Oh ok, thanks very much 🙂

uv texture map¿

[cursive granite]

Like I have to have one? That's a .dds file right?

[cerulean kindle]

from the 1st image it look like to me its a uv position error, but Im no expert

[cursive granite]

Where would I put the uv map? in the folder with the original car or the folder with the skin files I'm making?

[ebon tangle]

The uv map isnt a texture, its part of the model

So you edit it in blender

[hollow atlas]

any van mods?

im looking for ones that are realistic with great detail

Hey everyone, I need some help with my JBeam, specifically with the front hood. I really need the front jbeam restructured but I'm not quite sure how and was wondering if anyone could help?

[cerulean kindle]

to all modders, shuld we team up and create a decent api? its really frustrating the need to pass the files to chatgpt and make her analize ll the functions do the test to see if you can acces them from a mod etc... or there is no point in doing a api cuz maybe all changes ?

[tacit halo]

uh just use the visual studio code github copilot addon

[junior arch]

If you can tell me which one you like, I can make the gear ratios changeable

[cerulean kindle]

why chatgpt never told me that? F

[tacit halo]

because its chatgpt

[cerulean kindle]

Now it works with everything! Time Trials! scenarios! tracks! 😄 Not sure if it works with mods

does anyone know how to put Automation mod on the repo

[quiet rune]

guys do u know how to import 1 config instead of all configs into blender

[junior surge]

hello everyone :3

[lone void]

hi

[glacial forum]

not possible, it just imports all the parts in the dae

[quiet rune]

i see

[cursive granite]

ah. so if I don't have blender, I can't edit the skin?

[ebon tangle]

if you dont have blender you cant edit the UV, yes

im not sure why you wouldnt have blender tho

kinda the bare minimum for modding this game

[cursive granite]

Doing skins/mods never really required me to have it for GTAIV or V lol.

I'm a little new to modding in beamng

[tacit halo]

well you are trying to make a skin for a mod

mods generally tend ot not have the highest of quality skin uvs

[cursive granite]

Yes. The 68-70 Coronet mod.

Though I'm trying something, I might've found what I was doing wrong

[tacit halo]

vanilla vehicles generally tend to be much easier to skin since they are properly made but most mods dont even have skin support

[cursive granite]

I figured I started with a hard one on accident. I take it stuff like the Caprice and Crown Vic are popular enough that people do skins with them.

[tacit halo]

crown vic has deccent skinning iirc

i dont know what caprice mod you talking about

https://www.beamng.com/resources/?order=rating_weighted generally only repository mods have decent quality skins and some forum mods too

[cursive granite]

Yeah, it's the 90s Caprice mod on the forums

For some reason I can't access the site right now, but that's a me thing

[steep venture]

like eg on the side of a bus i'd add some text on the window

the wenward school bus

eveything else stays the same

[steep venture]

example

[viscid berry]

Including console modding?

Jtaged xenon

[crystal wraith]

POV: you didn’t have anywhere else to post this so you wanted to post it here for attention 😕

[viscid berry]

yup

[cursive granite]

Huh, yeah, I can't access the main website right now. Anyone else having that issue?

[deep tusk]

xbox 360

[crystal wraith]

Astute observation

[ebon tangle]

anyone know what best practice is for adding cross support like this

should i be using beams or tris

nvm i read the wiki

i should be using both

[oak crane]

havent seen people done much with my caprice mod it seems the crown vic is more popular which makes sense

only skin mod ive seen of it is one that adds some pretty basic liveries like the lapd, nysp, and others but that one is outdated since i released an update for the caprice like a month ago

[glacial sundial]

I literally not sure how jbeam really works, I just move nodes, and connect things, change weigghts, untill it stops wiggling around

[deep kestrel]

comparison between shados's work and my work

[flint hornet]

think im finally gonna work on adding a few skins for my bastion mod! been a while since ive worked on it just wanted to take a break for a bit!

[livid forge]

anybody got an f4 phantom for beam (its rumored to exist)

[still canopy]

hello, can anyone help me with uv maping? im working on a bastion gt4 and i need some help uv maping the rear quarterpanels of the cupe. could someone help me with this. ofc you would then get ea to the mod

if you could help ping me or dm me pls

[karmic oar]

How do I move these icons? New update messed them up

[prisma chasm]

does anyone know a mod like say my tire is starting to wear out i can see it like in an f1 game you can see the percentage of damage????

[still canopy]

vanilla beam dosnt have tire wear however there is a thermals mod in the repo

[prisma chasm]

ok thank you

[proven imp]

Are there any sim racing groups for beamMP?

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gq4yJ9qvgw-iba-OLgLBTT_xSrcHnAcgDGrLtjjItQ0/edit?usp=sharing What Do You Guys Think?

[tacit halo]

you literally have no experience and want to make 9 full cars? yeah no

[spice nova]

for 2025 and 2026

[tacit halo]

yeah the average modder with like 4 years of experience does like 1 or 2 car mods per year

[spice nova]

well there not big projects

[tacit halo]

yes they are

[spice nova]

and there isnt any point in saying that just let me be me and dont try and bring me down

[tacit halo]

wdym bring you down

[spice nova]

making me feels worce

as im was in a good mood

now ur just kinda making it worse

[tacit halo]

you have 0 experience
you dont know how to model
you dont know how to code
you dont know how to texture

and you want to make 9 full cars in a year/two years

like its not bringing you down its being realistic

if the best modders out there take months or years to make their projects, someone who knows nothing cant make 9 full car mods in 2 years

its literally just simple logic

[spice nova]

well im not going to make fastlane quality cars so i can make more that 2 cars a year

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gq4yJ9qvgw-iba-OLgLBTT_xSrcHnAcgDGrLtjjItQ0/edit?usp=sharing also updated it

[tacit halo]

dude fastlane makes low quality mods lol

[spice nova]

that must be a joke

[tacit halo]

its not

his mods are just mid

[spice nova]

😭

yeh im done with this

[tacit halo]

i mean not low quality they are just average

i was talking full scratch 3d model textures and jbeam

fastlane doesnt make his models and textures or at least parts of them

[unique zealot]

Don’t take it personal, making full vehicle mods for beam is incredibly time consuming and hard, start with something simple such as a part for an existing vehicle

Like I have my mod in progress, #1328522608601469049 and even them I’m struggling hard with getting the materials & the skin right now

And this is unrelated to you but I think part of the issue with mod is when asking for help and there’s no response

[molten flint]

whats the best mod for career

[west stump]

Very true

[glacial forum]

RLS Career Overhaul

[unique zealot]

Though it does have to do with people asking too vague and unrealistic questions

[winged jacinth]

Guys I have a question, I downloaded a mod very cool for my expectation but the dashboard is not very complete, do ya'll think it's possible to change it or to modify it?

[unique zealot]

Downloaded where

[tranquil trout]

is there a good free vw passat mod , preferably a 2008 sedan passat

[winged jacinth]

from modland by someone who reuploded it from the repo bcs he wanted to share it to the "community"

[tranquil trout]

nvm i found a goog and free passat mod

[unique zealot]

A mod that definitely will say to not reupload

[winged jacinth]

Did you send 2 times this message? I received ×2 this 💀
And I don't know, how can I know if even the original author cannot be found, plus this mod is not only on modland dw it's on other websites. It's the 2025 Dacia Duster maybe you know it or not

[tranquil trout]

oh ye i had that mod its rlly cool i got it on kofi

[winged jacinth]

On Kofi with the original author?

[tacit halo]

automod is cooked, i said the guy who did that was an "ass + hat" and thats apparently against automod

[tranquil trout]

yes

[tacit halo]

reuploaders are the worst since they are making money off ads in the links they use

[narrow venture]

Automod is bugging, I got muted twice for completely normal messages

[eager moss]

He could make 20 in that time. But theyd be unedited meshlaps with meh features/lighting/textures

[tacit halo]

i could make a car by the hour if i had the models ready

[eager moss]

Yea

[unique zealot]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/2012-2025-dacia-renault-m0-platform-1-3-performance-update.101383/

also what lichi said, I tried responding to you and it got flagged for whatever reason

[winged jacinth]

Nooo it's not the duster it's the Sandero this one

[winged jacinth]

That's so strange

[unique zealot]

either way, you shouldnt be using 3rd party sites

[winged jacinth]

Either way it's out of topic, so I can mods the dashboard or not, just to know, I have 0 modding skills don't worry.

Because the temperature jauge is not working, and either is the fuel jauge and the consumption one is showing me nonsense

[unique zealot]

signs of a bad mod, it shouldnt be up to the user to fix it

[tranquil trout]

Should i download chives or fastrow dodge charger mod

If they are good

[brittle warren]

Chives works rn afik but fastrows people have been saying it is broken if its not broken both are decent mods

Fastrow is also redoing his whole mod completely

[crystal wraith]

Yea I was gonna say fastrow is redoing his

[crystal wraith]

if youve got the money

how much you talkin for one car

[brittle warren]

Bro is trying to hire people to file brainrot lol

<@&710084482031550547> idk if this is something I should ping for but it seems inappropriate for the server

[weary thorn]

This is not the place to ask for this even as a joke

[dry harbor]

Ok sorry

[tacit halo]

how does someone even think this is the right place to ask this snotfish~1

[dry harbor]

And May I ask why ? Cause I dont think a lot of Kids Who dont know what h€n is

[dry harbor]

I mean this is The modding channel

[tacit halo]

because rules say no nsfw

[weary thorn]

This server is PG-13 that content even as a sticker or joke is heavily nsfw and not tolerated here

[tacit halo]

so essentially what you want is for someone to make you youtube shorts slop content then you upload and make money off of it?

you really dont need to edit much on beammg short videos

that video literally has 0 editing lol

either way can you please go milk any other ip beamng has enough of them

so like you literally just pay people to do the work for you and then take a cut of what they make because you upload it?

talk about morals

[brittle warren]

Bro no one cares that your trying to make content for babies and profit off of it get out the server

[woeful shadow]

epic, industrialized brainrot

[tacit halo]

i seriously hope youtube changes the algorithm so it favors actual content instead of this garbage

[brittle warren]

Shorts should've stayed on musically should have never made it to FB and insta and YouTube. TikTok/Musically has ruined entertainment for the foreseeable future

[tacit halo]

so then what money do you make

so you basically just underpay the guy that records the video?

[brittle warren]

Morals as in contributing to ruining beam ngs name all for a couple bucks and being lazy at it and making others do it all for you.. If you are gonna make the shitty brain rot at least make it yourself. Anyone who makes beamng brain rot content doesn't even like the game cause there is no way you could and do that.

[tacit halo]

i imagine you want to make money off of this without doing anything so anything under 50% id consider underpaying

you are literally the definition of a scummy ceo
get paid to do nothing

is this not true?

[brittle warren]

Bro doesn't even play games he just pays people to do it lol. What a fun life. Making content for children to make money, cause your greedy and know kids will watch it

[narrow venture]

Spending all day watching YouTube is called sedentary lifestyle not "work" 😭

[tacit halo]

how can you get the info they need and the script they need if you dont even play or know anything about what you post

[brittle warren]

With the money they made from extorting kids

[tacit halo]

you just ask chatgpt lol

[brittle warren]

I am 26 lol

[tacit halo]

so you just copy trends

says the guy watching youtube all day without no creative insight or anything

holy fuck its literally in the name of the platform

YOU tube not copyeverythingtube

[brittle warren]

I actually make things pal I am a nerd. I learn I don't copy everyone else

[tacit halo]

like if you make slop at least be a little creative with the slop you make

[brittle warren]

Plenty lol

[tacit halo]

while at it you should leave the server

[brittle warren]

Seems like you care or you wouldn't keep talking and calling people nerd and princess lol

[tacit halo]

not much lol but id say in a server about a game people dont welcome people that use that use said game to make low quality content and money off of it

hey does anyone know some good GT3 car mods besides the etk or scintilla?

[tranquil trout]

i downloaded chives' dodge charger but for some reason on a few configs the rear and front wheels are not matched like the rear wheels are etk wheels and the front wheels are the actual wheels probably

[modest briar]

Does anyone know how to get a model wheel into beamng?

[tranquil trout]

is aries' dodge charger good

and aries' dodge challenger

[umbral falcon]

Beg your pardon, every one of you with the little "newcomer" flags by your name? Please, before you further push the stereotype of newcomers onto Beamcord, check the channel description. Just a friendly reminder.

[narrow venture]

I don't have it

[hollow crane]

Hey guys, I need help with a problem I'm having in my car. I added a JBeam for the door to open, and everything looks fine in the structure. But when I spawn the car in game, the door automatically opens and won’t stay closed, even though I didn’t set anything for it to open .I'm not sure if I missed something in the JBeam like node weights, beams, or constraints. If anyone has experience with this or can help me figure out what's wrong, I’d really appreciate it.

[toxic phoenix]

can we get this pinned please?

[livid forge]

hey guys. where can i find the baserunner

[cerulean kindle]

OMG. I did it! (well chatgpt did it) now quaternions works perfectly!

[flat aurora]

hi, i need help with adding a sticker to a vehicle

[ebon tangle]

do torsionbars not work with nodes outside of the jbeam they're in? lif3r and lif3l are part of the axle jbeam and frm3rb and frm3lb are both in the frame jbeam

[brisk iris]

Why cant i find any good cars in the beamng repository like bmws or audis

[static sequoia]

you really care a whole lot about what people do with their time

[rancid wedge]

They should work with any nodes, remember that they don't visualize in-game with the beams but with a seperate option

[crisp void]

personal ghost, thats sick

i was thinking about something like that and wonder if u could add the throttle, brake, clutch and steering bars ui on top of the ghost

@serene needleyo m8 want a 300c mod

its a 11-23 model

[rancid wedge]

Just saw, maybe add a space after each comma, maybe it matters here

[west stump]

how do i make a new steering wheel appear in the Roamer's steering wheel slot?

it only works with the D Series slots

[narrow venture]

add it to the steering wheel jbeam of the roamer

[west stump]

it doesnt have its own steering wheel jbeam

[narrow venture]

i think if you go to common folder and then pickup, theres a gavril steering wheels jbeam, maybe that one would make it appear on the roamer aswell?

[west stump]

nope

[narrow venture]

hmmm

[narrow venture]

aaaahhhh light mode 😢

[west stump]

all three of these only appear in the d series

[narrow venture]

idk then

[gentle siren]

They dont come in the beamng repository

You gotta install them manually

Theres plenty of tutorials on how to install them

[brisk iris]

Where can i find such mods

The sites

[gentle siren]

3rd party sites like modland

[brisk iris]

Oh

[gentle siren]

Plenty of their mods are low quality but atleast there could be some mods u want

[brisk iris]

Havent really heard good stuff about modland

Someone told me they can be malware

[gentle siren]

Idk i didnt get any malware from modland

[brisk iris]

Is there a way to tell if a mod or car pack or smth is safe?

[unique zealot]

no

[gentle siren]

There was a website that could check but i forgot the name

[unique zealot]

#mods-faq all you need is in there

[gentle siren]

Idk its the only one i know

[brisk iris]

Do i use modland now or not

[unique zealot]

the forums and the repository are the only sites to use

[gentle siren]

Alr

[unique zealot]

no

[brisk iris]

Alright

Cuz i saw some good car packs on that site

[unique zealot]

trust me, they arent

[cerulean kindle]

thanks, on top of the ghost? what you mean? like the live input telemetry just slapped on the top? moving with the car? or you mean next to the delta time?

[vestal marsh]

Does anyone know of a decently high quality f1 or other similar open wheel car mods?

[rancid wedge]

there is a F4 mod, I don't think there are any other mods of high quality https://www.beamng.com/resources/carbonworks-f4.27561/

[vestal marsh]

Cool thanks

[serene needle]

Anyone dm me or ping me if there's a jeep wrangler or a jeep cherokee I need one bad it has to be on beamng.com or nexus mods or the actul game cause I ain't tryna get viruses.

[topaz iron]

you can make it yourself if you really need one bad, there's some guides in the pins

Also please don't repost in multiple channels

[serene needle]

I like that you helped me but you are not my boss and im not making one so stop.

[topaz iron]

it wasn't an order but ok

[little mauve]

yo i am wondering if there is some option in the career that lets you change if repairs during races are free or not

not quite sure if that is how it is supposed to be but for some reason if i use the given vehicle it is always repaired if i crash. if i take my own vehicle its the same but if my engine gets damaged i have to pay for repairs...

[cosmic robin]

well does it look like anyone is helping you

your not making a good impression as a new member

[halcyon fulcrum]

dont know if I should put this into bug-reports, but I found an odd issue with some mods, atleast the "E-CVT Hybrid Vivace 0.1.5" mod, I cant change the modes or other parameters because the keybinds are marked as "uninstalled parts" but they are infact installed and should work, so I'm confused now, might test it out with other mods or vanilla cars

[cerulean kindle]

@crisp void did you mean this? I managed to show brake and throttle on a line behind the ghostcar, but it's not visually appeling, what you all think about it? it's a bad idea having the breaking acecleration lines behind it? shuld I leave it with and option to disable it? shuld I try to find a better way to display them?

I would love to recive feedback, no matter if its bad, the comunity feedback is important

[flat aurora]

hi, i need help with adding a sticker to a vehicle in beamng.

[cursive granite]

Can someone look at my jbeam and json files? My custom skins aren't showing up from the drop down for some reason.

[cerulean kindle]

this is alot better

[distant pendant]

when all parts gonna show?

[cerulean kindle]

ah?

[cerulean kindle]

now I'm trying to rotate the box like the car, but its pretty confusing for chatgpt

[versed rain]

does anyone have any good big maps to install

[cerulean kindle]

Ok, with this smooth line now, I think my project is finish, I don't know what more to add, so this chat gpt experience was funny

[somber wraith]

i need/want gq , gu patrols , 60, 80 and 100 series land cruisers and 79s ect where can i find them?

[eager moss]

Lmao he didn’t tell you you had to 😂

If no one responds and you can’t find a mod thats your only option champ

And talking like that to someone tryna help you is a bit cocky ngl

[crisp void]

ye ye realtime input ui on top of the ghost

[crisp void]

hmm the coloured trails indicating throttle and braking response is actually not that bad

but what about indication of other inputs such as clutch/clutchkicking, parking brake and steering?

[crisp void]

dang u used gpt for all of this? pretty cool tho

[toxic phoenix]

hey guys, does anyone know how to import full beamng level into blender?

[cerulean kindle]

I will try this night to make 3 vertical bars and 1 horitzontal bar for steering and put it on the top, not usre if they would be useful as normally when you drive you are more focus on your driving than the ghostcar, but I will give it a try

[hushed turtle]

https://ko-fi.com/s/77b4ddcb3d

[distant pendant]

you need a better attitude.

stop posting the same question in multiple places
stop asking for paid mods for free
stop asking for people to check modland mods for you

if you continue i'll just report it to the moderators so they can instruct you how to properly use these channels

[unique zealot]

that doesn't look worth $4 and the lack of jbeam is a red flag

[sand token]

Hi, I'm taking a step towards a mod pack I'm making, I made it with parts from the game itself, I'm not good at making bodykits, variants and skins and my PC is terrible, so if anyone can help me do these things while I do the basics I'll be grateful :))

the wip mod that I took the step is on the beamng forums, it's more summarized there

[dry cargo]

i think you will have more luck in #mods-discussion

[celest storm]

hello i have a question

[unique zealot]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[eager moss]

Bros even asking for leaks bruh

[sand token]

I already posted it there, I just didn't post the photos

[flat aurora]

hi, i need help aligning a texture to glass of the car... using material editor, anybody know how? im new.

[cosmic robin]

hey im having some issues with materials, i made some materials and later made them PBR but they made all the materials so much lighter in color, even though i have a normal map?

[tight shuttle]

rename them so that they end in .color.png and let the texture cooker process them into DDSes

[cosmic robin]

can i do that in the material editor?

[tight shuttle]

idk, i'd just use the file explorer

[brittle warren]

No you cant rename an image in the material editor

[cosmic robin]

where do i put the .color

base.color?

[tight shuttle]

between the actual filename and the .png

[brittle warren]

it would be etck_interior_gt_base.color.png

[cosmic robin]

why the fuck is my game not loading in anymore i did ctrl R

[brittle warren]

did you reaaply it to the material in the material editor since you changed then ma

[cosmic robin]

like its taken 5 minutes now

[cosmic robin]

yes

[brittle warren]

Maybe texture cooker is cooking your pc?

[cosmic robin]

the hell is a texture cooker

[brittle warren]

its what converts the png to a dds

[cosmic robin]

theres no dds?

[brittle warren]

if you rename the png to be .color.png it will then create a dds of the image in the vehicles temp directory and it will always load that image wether or not your material pooints to a png it will load the cached dds version

[cosmic robin]

oohh

well its taking a while so far

[brittle warren]

I would assume its trying to convert the image someone else had the same issue a bit back i beleive where the game would freeze really bad when trying to convert the images

[cosmic robin]

still going 💔

oh game crashed

well nothing changed

still light color

should be dark grey, but no, why would it work

@tight shuttle any idea why?

[tight shuttle]

if the texture cooking is working, then it might just be due to the colour space of the image file

can be fixed by changing the relevant setting in gimp etc. and resaving the image

[cosmic robin]

well this color is clearly different

[tight shuttle]

iirc the colour space you want is srgb

[cosmic robin]

i guess

whatever makes the thing look like its suppost to

oh fucking great world editor decides to be stuck at 6 fps now

why is it always me with this shit 💔

[tacit halo]

Save it as a PNG and then let the in-game texture Cooker process it correctly

You must use .color.png

[cosmic hull]

BeamNG can also be cool for Touge but not nearly as cool as Assetto Corsa but still really nice. Bunta vs Takumi.

This battle is actually good the Subaru AI can drive pretty clean. It is not the fastest in the world but due to the power difference it can often still keep up.

[cosmic hull]

i wanna race on a racetrack can i somehow make the pin you set go the long way around so that i can actually do a lap race lol?

[distant pendant]

recording a run and having the ai copy it is much nicer then just having them do it themselves

[cosmic hull]

That's possible??? Damn

[crystal wraith]

script AI editor

[cosmic hull]

There's so much stuff I have yet to do I only have 30 hours in this game

[crystal wraith]

i have over a thousand and only know the needed stuff

theres plenty other little things you can do

[distant pendant]

using the script ai, you can do real fast touge battles basically agaisnt yourself. but be ware of running absolute limits of track, and stay wider than you'd normally would around tight bends.

hi

i just finished my car from blender now i want to have electric motor and be able to open doors open everything have screen and stuff to see maps thanks for helping me

[cosmic robin]

so uhh, do you know jbeam?

[cosmic robin]

im having trouble finding an article on how opacity maps work, i have a sticker materials and the images background is transparent but ingame it isnt, what do i change and how do i make the opaicty malp

[narrow venture]

Black = full transparent, white = full opaque, anything in between is semi transparent

[cosmic hull]

It's probably way more complex to make a beamng mod then Assetto Corsa cuz I see many broken maps or cars. Maybe it's also the frequent updates that kill them idk.

[steep venture]

gah why is adding a sticker to a glass so hard

[tranquil trout]

the no texture reaper has come for another mod, first the gavril scout then the etk s series

[crystal wraith]

it isnt probably, it is

first off, Jbeam

[cosmic hull]

lol ye

i see many missing textures often

[cerulean kindle]

How shuld I check for performance on my app/script? is there a official way to check it? anyone knows? Like instead of recording data every 0.1 try 0.2 and see the diference on performance, how can I check for that stuff?

[crystal wraith]

probably use the recording date method and ask chat gpt the performace cost

instead of manually looking thru

[cerulean kindle]

there is no beamngtool?

[crystal wraith]

not that i know of

[severe terrace]

Anyone able to help with the JBeam in my mod?

[cerulean kindle]

and another thing, is my app considered a mod? it's not a car, and on showcase-yourmods I onyl see cars, it's appropiate to post there my delta Ghost Lap Delta app¿?

[unique zealot]

is it a UI you add into the game? if so, yes

[crystal wraith]

It’s a modification to the game, so it’s a mod

[cerulean kindle]

ok thanks! I will make now a request to add it there, so people can suggest stuff rather than post updates here, it's mostly done and functional, but thinks like "add more options to disable, etc.. shuld show checkpoints, stuff like that, as far I can see those have interal chat for the mod in question, so it will be more apropiate if I move there insted of here

[cosmic hull]

https://youtu.be/2G1i3Q_MFyA?si=g8970krFajuQ64BY ahh thats why my mods are not that good. modland

but the once i got are nowhere near this bad. but still some pretty bad others pretty okay

[unique zealot]

#mods-faq says to not use 3rd party sites anyway

[tranquil trout]

is there a good and nice free acura nsx beamng mod?

preferably a 90s one

[cosmic hull]

welp thats not always an option but if possible i get them from there

i make sure to stay safe

[unique zealot]

if its not on the forums then a good one doesnt exist

[cosmic hull]

lol

[idle sapphire]

who pinged me??

[west stump]

anybody know why my mod shows no texture after packing the mod?

[brittle warren]

Make sure your materials dont point to images in the unpacked folder cause it doesn't exist anymore once packed

[west stump]

ohhh that makes sense

[west stump]

did not fix it for some reason

[brittle warren]

What did you change the image paths too

[west stump]

i removed the unpacked/ part in the image path

[brittle warren]

it should look like this

[west stump]

Should I put my materials in a common folder?

[brittle warren]

no so it should be /vehicles/the vehicle you are doing/ where the images are

Mine is just in common because i made a pack of materials for all cars

[west stump]

That's what I did too

[brittle warren]

THen yes i would make the vehicle be common like mine

[west stump]

You mean materials?

[brittle warren]

yes but you neeed to set up ytour mod like so. mod/vehicles/common/materials so the materials wil bwe available for every car then in your mat file it will be /vehicles/common/materials/images.png

[west stump]

Perfect thank you so much

is there a 2019 ford mustang mod on the repo

[crystal wraith]

Why would a branded car be on the repo

No. There isn’t, there’s one on the forums, and you can easily look it up

[unique zealot]

i already answered that

[tranquil trout]

i searched for some, a 2019 mustang was uploaded but when i click on it i just get the error thing

[crystal wraith]

clearly you didnt. https://www.beamng.com/threads/ford-mustang-s550-2015-present.54863/page-43#post-1350947

[tranquil trout]

literally just saw it on the forums while i was searching

rip

[crisp void]

nice textures

if i were u id start filtering from most to least downloaded

but still theres no gurantee for a mod of good quality

also...why?

[unique zealot]

the best thing is to just not use modland at all

https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1379023001064050848 and thats a reupload of this one

[tranquil trout]

im pretty sure that mod is free on beamng forums or beamng repo srry idk the difference between forum and repo

[unique zealot]

the forums is https://www.beamng.com/forums/vehicles.26/ whereas the repository is built in

[tranquil trout]

oh ok thx

[weak sluice]

did you get v26 shapes to import properly?

[fallen island]

yes

[brittle warren]

Partially

[fallen island]

As soon as you are available to commission lmk 👀

[brittle warren]

Just dm me lol

[fallen island]

I sent you a fr req last night

[cerulean kindle]

@crisp void here you have the stering too, not sure If I like it, maybe I remove that and I will add a graph on the UI showing them at your current time, like the iracing IA trainning

[cloud oriole]

does anyone know how i can make custom horn?

[opal crescent]

Forums are less moderated than repo. Repo mods have to be checked by staff before it goes on there.

[tacit halo]

And forums allows legally dubious post since it isn't accesible they the game unlike the repo

[heady quail]

does anyone know if its possible to, via the in-game console, print the current fill % of an energyStorage container?

or if theres another way to see it at any specific time

[haughty solar]

what have i done here

[tacit halo]

I think dump(electrics) ran in the vehicle lua should dump a lot of values and possibly that one

[zealous meadow]

Someone has like a good video where mods are shown that you like abselutly need?

@worthy widget idk why you dmed me about a commission post your work here

[tacit halo]

I'm 90% sure they are a scammer

I don't remember the combo but they ended up blocked after they dmd me for something like that too

[brittle warren]

Anyone that messaged first about commissions is a scammer. 100%

[fallen island]

you would be the guy to do it anyways 💀 just waiting on a spot

[stark dagger]

Does anybody know of any good paddle tire mods I had meos paddle tires, but now they have no texture to them

[cerulean kindle]

open the consol, on the console dropdown select your car, and write; dump(electrics) it will give you what your car have, then pick whatever you want

does anyone know what i have to do to fix this? the color of the glass of the middle beacon changes with the color of the left beacon

[misty thistle]

Can anyone who does livery commissions dm me with pricing info?

[brittle warren]

works like a charm

[maiden scaffold]

Is this for the new CDAE format which is publicly documented, or old DTS?

[viral crypt]

what‘s the：“just highlight the entire first engine jbeam”mean？

[heavy swift]

I'm not sure I get your question, but what i can tell you is that you can't just add two of the same mesh - what happens in the game engine is that each flexbody is a copy of the first. So if you change the color of one, that changes all of them.

So what you need to do is make separate mesh / flexbodies. You can reuse the textures.

[brittle warren]

Both I'm working on them both at the same time

Plus there are different versions of DTS too so I have to deal with those

[cerulean kindle]

any car exerts can help me? I can not find the materials for the wigeon frame, they are not on the main.materials.jbeam, where I can find him?

I tried to add the frame on the materials but didn't work, and I'm no expert

[nimble cipher]

Hi guys, everyone!!! Listen, there's a question... Can you create a mod that will be an Eliminator game mode, like in Forza Horizon 5? That would be cool! Does anyone have the opportunity to do it?

[tacit halo]

They in common.zip/pigeon/

Wigeon and pigeon use same engines and frame

[hearty jasper]

Is anyone good with jbeam? I'm trying to add race vanilla race seats to a modded car but the seats themselves won't sit on the race seat base

[lavish oar]

Sorry if it was confusing, for some reason the color of yhe glass in the middle beacon is connected to the color of the glass of the left beacon,they use different meshes but it still doesn't work properly

[cerulean kindle]

thanks! but turns out it wasn't defined on main.materials, I just added "pigeon_mechanical": {
"mapTo": "pigeon_mechanical",
"Stages": [
{
"baseColorMap": "vehicles/Wghostcar/wigeon_glass_b.color.png",
"normalMap": "vehicles/Wghostcar/wigeon_glass_nm.normal.png",

[umbral dove]

ayo what are you talking about

[distant pendant]

not showcasing ways for normies to rip models in dts form

that's what im talkin about

[umbral dove]

oh my dirty mind kick in

[heavy swift]

Are you sure they use different meshes? You will have exactly the problem you're describing, if you use a single mesh.

[queen sequoia]

Is the KJLP mod bugged?

MK2 Pessima is broken for me

[lavish oar]

yeah both have a custom mesh, is there anyway to check if they are working properly?

[grand phoenix]

guys i wanna make a mod based on the procyon centauri, any idea on how to contact finn wilkinson?

i read in the mod description to contact him if i wanna use the files

[rough cargo]

i was linked here

what do you want to do?

[grand phoenix]

so it seems to me that it's based on the toyota land cruiser, i wanna make a lexus lx570s version w more power and more luxury

like how mansory is to mercades benz

[rough cargo]

the Centauri is meant to cover all of the bases of the LX600 and Land Cruiser

Procyon is the luxury subsidiary of Hirochi

so it technically already is the Lexus version

there just isn't a Toyota, so it covers that price range too

[grand phoenix]

fair

it does have the looks of a land cruiser and luxury of a lexus

worth the shot ig

btw what modeling software do you use?

[rough cargo]

blender

[grand phoenix]

alright thanks

[warm pendant]

@hallow flint

[hallow flint]

So I've added a second frame to my mod but it comes up with simulation paused instability detected when I select it what would be causing this? Would it be because not everything is named NZ_REES_Frame_James or is it because it's all in the same JBeam location at the original JBeam files?

Heres n ss if that helps (frame showing in wron gplace has been fixed)

[zealous meadow]

anyone have a tutorial where is actually shown how to get good graphics like everyone else but not eating their fps?!?!?!?

[hearty jasper]

its hard not to loose fps

[hearty jasper]

id recomend using https://www.beamng.com/threads/teons-graphics-tweaks.101421/
it just changes some colors and whatnot and makes your game look alright

[weary niche]

here's a fun little fact i learned: these are case sensitive

spent so long trying to figure out why the used v8 config wouldnt show up and it was because i capitalized the V in V8 for the info file 😆

[tacit halo]

Please use _ and not spaces

Its just good practice

[weary niche]

noted

[regal latch]

why would that be?

[crystal wraith]

More compatible

Some things don’t like spaces, just a good habit to have

[regal latch]

like?

we arent in the 80s/90s anymore where that was an issue. if you design anything with file systems in mind you handle file pathes with spaces

[crystal wraith]

God it isn’t that deep nobody said it was a legal requirement it’s a suggestion

[regal latch]

Its just a outdated believe. we progammes just kept using underscords thats it. we dont have to, just still doing it for no more real reason

cant be a good practice if it doesnt serve anything

[tacit halo]

parity with vanilla

and it looks really weird

[regal latch]

parity i agree with

[astral axle]

i have been wanting to ask this question for a really long long time if it is possible to script a lua mod that brings to the game dirt physics, mud, water, rain droplets, particles and so on. basically water splashing and the particles are on the road or on the car and they also get on the windshield and some car mods might trigger automatic wipers. even windshield washer splashes with proper particles on the windshield. and dirt getting on the car. sand as well. basically if another ai car drives through a puddle the whole area gets affected including my own vehicle. and similar thing goes with snow but it’s a bit more harder but physics like wipers wiping them away or driving through snow. but basically i want to know if this change will get brought either to the vanilla game or using a mod with a lua script.

[tacit halo]

possible yes, youd need to use html textures for the body that change depending on a few factors, to have something with ANY realism youd need to complicate it to make it look semi realistic

[astral axle]

i have heard that the torque3d engine is very old and cannot handle this

but, if mobile bootlegs made in unity can handle this (sorta) then theres no reason why torque3d cant support it

[tacit halo]

beamngs engine is based in torque3d but it has been modified so much its become its own thing

it would be performance heavy since having a html texture (like the ones used in digital screens) tax the game a bunch, but you could defenatly do it

the harder part is actually having proper dirt textures that actually look like realistic and not like a png that magically appears on the side of the car

and you would have to have a custom texture for all parts that you want getting dirty, for all cars that you want with this feature

defenately not, its probably that the modern day beam engine uses similar methods like ue's

beamngs engine is not only graphical, but the physics are the engine itself, this is why they cant just "switch"

[astral axle]

ah, good to know, the engine itself is indeed heavily modified

[astral axle]

a repo mod with the entire mod including the dirt pack for all base game cars would go well?

major issue is, all of the forum mods and other repo car mods must also support this repo weather physics pack, which might be more difficult to adapt

[unique zealot]

time

it would only take time for it to be implemented by modders if it was implemented into the game, specifically looking at the doors as an example

at first they didnt exist except a mod and now its a defacto requirement for a mod to be good and nearly every mod has them

and documentation

[tacit halo]

nope you would have to include support yourself

the only way to do it externally would be if you make it a vehicle skin, meaning youd either have to not have other skins at the same time or have a variant of the dirt skin for each skin

[naive lance]

someone should make a new 4runner mod

the current one is so small compared to all the other cars that are developed nowadays

[tacit halo]

i think that someone is you

[naive lance]

does it look like i know how to model

[raw jackal]

https://youtu.be/OAW81QZpvRY?si=h0OoVCIYDmpuxAI0

[naive lance]

i would but im not too smart for all the file making stuff n that for beamng

especially the engine and jbeam n stuff

[raw jackal]

Gotta do some research homie that's what I did

[naive lance]

ill probably just end up paying some dude 10 bucks to make it lol

[raw jackal]

The amount you pay is the quality you will receive in return, just saying.

[naive lance]

then 50 bucks

[midnight shard]

are royal renderings mods safe?

nvm didnt realize they cost money

[serene needle]

Yo can someone help me real quick

[ebon tangle]

lmao for a whole mod its gonna be more like 500

[naive lance]

oh damn

[neat schooner]

Hey guys, someone can help me please? I´m trying to learn how to code and understand mods on Bmg, but man this thing is HARD! I basically got the physics to work but I can´t make the texture appear on my mod..
or maybe it could be the MESH

[hollow hinge]

what different types of materials do i need?

normal maps, colour, roughness etc

[tacit halo]

** for a low effort meshslap, if you want anything good, then uh
the car you want is probably cheaper to just buy in real life

[tacit halo]

check the docs for materials V1.5

[tacit halo]

with what

[cosmic robin]

What is it now

[eager moss]

Let me guess

“How make mwod??”

“Why pc brokend i downloded mawdland mod?”

“Where can i find rgb hellcwat mawd?”

[cosmic robin]

“Can someone get jeep wrangler mod from nexus mods or forums no virus”

[eager moss]

Real

[cosmic robin]

I found this guys yt

He cant be older then 12

[eager moss]

Yea its cringe lmao

[cosmic robin]

One of the most annoying beamcord members of 2025

He asks for help, we help him but come to a conclusion the thing that he wants doesnt exist: he calls us helpless and stupid

He probably grew up in an environment where everything got handed to him

[eager moss]

Bro https://m.youtube.com/shorts/BCMChRMCCeU

[eager moss]

Here comes the airplane lol

[cosmic robin]

“Mama can i have that?” “No” “im gonna scream as loud as i can because i want that”

[cosmic robin]

💔

And he gets more subscribers then me 💔

[eager moss]

Tbf not suprising

It is Youtube shorts what do you expect 🤷‍♂️

[cosmic robin]

True

[unique zealot]

yes but theyre low quality garbage thats not worth the price

[eager moss]

The new ones are way better, they have some cool features, but the jbeam…

.

[unique zealot]

the new ones are still shit

[eager moss]

I would say “partially shit”

Not worth money

But as free id be happy

[serene needle]

Why are yall so mean, I was just asking for help.

[unique zealot]

you didnt ask anything

[serene needle]

Guys yall don't understand people get deeper voices at diffrent times I understand all of this but please stop picking on me just because yall jealous

[unique zealot]

what are you talking about

you didnt ask anything

nvm im blind but just asking for help and then not saying what for is completely useless to everyone involved

[cosmic robin]

Jealous? of what bro

You got NOTHING that we can be jealous of bri

[naive lance]

so id have to pay like 20 grand for a good model? 😭

[unique zealot]

so learn and make it yourself

[naive lance]

like i said previously

im too stupid to even learn how to do all the file compressing shit and the jbeam stuff too

[unique zealot]

so learn

youre the only thing stopping yourself

[naive lance]

youre right im stopping myself bc if i do try to learn im still gonna end up messing it up and then causing a problem that no one has had before

[unique zealot]

thats a bad mindset to have

[naive lance]

so im probably better off paying like 500 i guess

but its never worth it for a single car so im just gonna keep my peafe

[unique zealot]

your mindset is stopping yourself from learning

[naive lance]

thats exactly right

[mystic veldt]

Currently running my game on 1440 Ultra and putting down some good performance numbers, any suggestions on how I could maximize my graphic through mods?

[tacit halo]

well i mean not that much, but on the 5 figures
it takes many months or even years for someone to do this at not full time so assuming the salary of a modeler/coder/texture artist isnt minimum wage it will be that much

[naive lance]

oh wowwwwwww

[tacit halo]

because youve been asking the same thing for a while, asking others to test things for you, and not using the correct channels for it

[naive lance]

is it possible if i just find a model and then get someone else to just put all the files together then

[tacit halo]

good models for beamng require very specific needs, its unlikely

and the coding part isnt easy too

[naive lance]

awhh 😔

[cosmic robin]

he doesnt get it

[proud solstice]

nahh they're shit even as free mods

both the g82 and g80 are terrible mods

[brittle warren]

My. Buddy just got one of em last night don't remember which but it was awful lol

[proud solstice]

lmao

[thin hare]

why are my leaf springs being freaky

[uneven bloom]

hey guys i wanna start making my own car but i have zeeero experience can somebody help me with the body work pls

if somebody help me send pls an pm thx

[left sparrow]

i have a couple cars i would love to see as mods but idk where to suggest them does anyone know?

[brittle warren]

People don't take mod suggestions. You are better off learning to make them yourself and it's fun.

[left sparrow]

thats fair its just finding the time thats the real problem i dont have that much time to even play the game ill try tho thanks

[brittle warren]

What cars is it. They may exist just older.

[left sparrow]

well i want a mk2 escort and an nb miatia there is an escort but its an automation car and it feels a bit off to me and there is no miata that i can find anyway

[unique zealot]

you could make a mod for the covet to be more escort-y
as for the miata,https://beamng.com/resources/29318

tbh idk if that is a miata, all i know is its a lore friendly mx5

[left sparrow]

didnt think of that i was more thinking of the bx route as its already rwd but that could work tbf

[left sparrow]

yhh i love that mod i just really like the nb mx5

[unique zealot]

it depends what gen of escort but for the likes of this one, it's way more feasible modding a covet body into this than from scratch tbh although the bx is probably a better one to base it off of

its the shape of the bx but the length of the covet

[left sparrow]

i was more thinking a mk2 escort the rs200 from memory? could be wrong but ik its mk2

which isnt too dis-similar shape to a covet

2000*

[unique zealot]

alright, the miramar could be a consideration perhaps?

im just giving you some ideas if you do want to make your own which if you want to see something as a mod, i highly advise you make it yourself

[left sparrow]

wait still wrong one mb but yeah mirimar is def close i always forget abt that car

[left sparrow]

yeah i will when i can find the time

[unique zealot]

good stuff

[left sparrow]

i cant put an image but search mk2 escort

i love rally and they are such a rally icon

[unique zealot]

#roles get the image perm role

[left sparrow]

ahh

[unique zealot]

you could also "facedrop" the 200bx, make the front fisca instead although if you like a challenge, i'd go for option A

[left sparrow]

could do but i just feel like i would get annoyed bc i havent gone all the way i would have to do things right but it wouuld be my first mod so it wouldnt be perfect and i would maybe need an engine aswell but could i use automation to make the engine and take it from one car to another?

[unique zealot]

if its just a part, you don't need to make everything else

[left sparrow]

yeah but i wouldnt be happy with only half the job i would wanna make the body and everything aswell

or i wouldnt be happy with myself anyway knowiung i could do more but then again its my first so just engine and drivetrain would be good aven if the body isnt right

[unique zealot]

just take baby steps

one at a time

[left sparrow]

good idea

so do you suggest make engine and drivetrain then make a body when i understand more?

[unique zealot]

id say body because that's my bias but it is probably easier to do drivetrain or engine first

[left sparrow]

ill see i should have abit of time tomorrow so ill have a look

[fiery ember]

rookie idiot here, small issue. im adding manual spoiler controls to the scintilla and i added the inputmap but how do i create the actualy like keybind slot?

i see the open left door keybind too but cant find where its located for the sake of it

[tight shuttle]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/input/bindings/
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/input/vehicle-specific-bindings/

try these

Thought the stock drls are borings ash, so i took things into my own hands

[limpid flare]

guys im confused i downloaded the game on epic and idk how to install my mods

@fiery ember

[crystal wraith]

maybe try watching youtube? not pinging another person?

[limpid flare]

i got it

[coarse dew]

afaik they have slidenodes which basically need to be 1/1 aligned with the rail (the nodes specified in the named section)

otherwise the game will teleport it to the location, causing a breaking sound among other issues depending on the severity

[thin hare]

where are these slidenodes located on the spring tho?

[coarse dew]

slidenodes are appended to the rails based on the name

[fiery ember]

I might have done a little 🤏 something to the lighting of the scintilla

[thin hare]

i could use this

[peak parcel]

it is a good idea to start a lore friendly mod based on the 10th gen civic? i'm thinking to be as a new generation of the ibishu covet

[mossy plaza]

is there a way to make flipping cars possible again in RLS Career Overhaul?

[left sparrow]

wrong sever for that one

[mossy plaza]

how can I find their server?

[left sparrow]

desc. of all his yt vids im pretty sure its on the mod page at the bottom aswell

[mossy plaza]

Found it on his yt, thanks

[tired mason]

iirc there's a thread for an 11th gen civic on the forum, but I am also painfully aware of the difference against 10th gen as someone who dailyed an 11th gen at one point.

[eager moss]

Dont have them so wouldnt know lol

[minor rampart]

i have a skin in beamng it shows up in material editor but not on the car

its like this for every skin

[olive mantle]

bruh why do so many mod creators have to make their stuff a part of a paid subscription

like i just want to have the trailers from CDC yet i have to spent 205 czk a month

same with some other creators, making all of their mods in a package

and the big issue is VAT, it adds so much to the price

[merry sierra]

I found a mod that I want to try out and it’s not a vanilla mod it’s a mod from beamNG drive website and can’t find any of the cars that I downloaded

From the mod folder

[deft osprey]

youre probably in the wrong folder

[merry sierra]

It’s in mod folder

[deft osprey]

how did you access your mod folder

[merry sierra]

From the launcher

So can you help me

[deft osprey]

try accessing the mod folder from here

[merry sierra]

I did that and now what

[deft osprey]

are your mods there?

[merry sierra]

Yeah but I can’t get them to show up in the game

[deft osprey]

show me a screen recording of what you mean

[merry sierra]

Of the mods or what

Or I can send you a dm

@deft osprey

[deft osprey]

of what the problem is

[merry sierra]

Yes

[copper latch]

question: how difficult would it be to make a tachometer for the barstow that goes higher (to replace the default one)?

is it just as simple as a new texture and changing how much the needle rotates

[merry sierra]

I’m trying to open my discord on my computer

[deft osprey]

you will probably need to tweak code. also this is a prime example of literally unplayable 💔

[copper latch]

literally unplayable that the tachometer only goes to 5 grand?

[merry sierra]

hey @deft osprey im on my computer now

[deft osprey]

youre like trying to fix a small detail that really doesnt affect gameplay

[deft osprey]

alright

[merry sierra]

How do you screen record on computer screen so I can show you

[copper latch]

i dont think it makes much sense for the tachometer to only go to 5k 💔

[deft osprey]

windows?

[merry sierra]

Yes

[deft osprey]

maybe cuz the manufacter didnt think people would turn theyre v8's into high revving bricks. so they didnt feel the need to have the tachometer read more than what was stock rev limit

[merry sierra]

yes windows

[deft osprey]

press shift + win + S

[copper latch]

this is an Invalid statement because a) almost every muscle car in the 60s and 70s had tachometers that went way above the stock rev limit, and b) the stock redline of some of the engines is greater than 5k

[merry sierra]

ok

[deft osprey]

almost every, and some. also beamng doesnt exactly have in real life brands so their cars wouldnt exactly match the cars theyre based off of exactly

[merry sierra]

i got that figured

[copper latch]

i say almost every because the ones who didn't had no tachometer at all

[deft osprey]

okay now screen record the problem

[merry sierra]

do i open beang drive

[deft osprey]

i mean if thats where your problem is then yeah

[merry sierra]

Ok

[deft osprey]

speaking of, what car is the barstow based off of?

[copper latch]

still, having a tachometer that doesn't even go to the redline of the engine currently in the car is stupid, and not really the trend of the late 60s and early 70s

[merry sierra]

I’m getting the game open

[copper latch]

reminds me of a 1966 dodge charger

that car's tachometer goes to 6k

[merry sierra]

Ok @deft osprey

[deft osprey]

1k difference literally unplayable

[copper latch]

its a small feature that irks me, considering how trivial it is to revise

[deft osprey]

also for the custom tachometer thing you could just probably squeeze the original tachometer in photoshop and add an extra 1k

[copper latch]

probably

[deft osprey]

and just replace the texture

am i tweaking or is the gavril barstow IV a 2v mustang

[merry sierra]

I screen recorded what I did

How do you find the video

[deft osprey]

press control V

[merry sierra]

I did that and nothing popped up

[deft osprey]

then check your files

[merry sierra]

In what file

Because I don’t see anything

[merry sierra]

I can’t post pictures in this channel

I don’t see that I only see caputres

[merry sierra]

See

See

@deft osprey I don’t see that option

Hey @deft osprey

Hello

[eager moss]

You don’t have to keep subscribed you know…

Most people sub for a month

Then cancel.

And if they want updates they resub

[crystal wraith]

anyone know why my model isnt generating a main material json? its in a fresh folder

[tight shuttle]

have you looked in both vehicles and temp/vehicles?

[crystal wraith]

yea, as stated before, nothing is generating

what i mean is, shoudlnt a material json generate on export?

[tight shuttle]

honestly i'm not familiar with that feature, i'm used to making one manually (albeit using a vanilla json as a base)

[crystal wraith]

may really only be a thing with maps i guess, but even so it wont generate there either

another thing is, my dae for a vehicle isnt appearing ingame, i dont have a correct jbeam for it, but was hoping to see the model ingame atleast

i have a jbeam, its just a big box for now but i was hoping to see the model in game atleast

[tight shuttle]

vy node issue or similar?

[crystal wraith]

not really sure what you mean, i just remember in the past when i did a prop mod that even if the jbeam was incorrect i could atleast see the model

[tight shuttle]

"vy node not found" is when the game can't map a flexbody to nodes (usually as a result of them being too far away, too few of them, or the node group forms too much of a straight line)

[crystal wraith]

okay of course now when i start asking for help i reimprt and it works lmaoo

material file isnt my biggest worry tbh, just needed it ingame

[merry sierra]

I can’t get any mods working from beamNG forums or anything to work I’m trying to get realistic cars in the game
