CAN ANYOANE HELP ME so basicly my fav mod the dacia sandero/logan by fastlane stoped working configs dont load i cleared cache can anyoane test if it works for em?

[robust turtle]

no, not without a card

it'll probably run at like 10 fps because you have a dual core i3 i assume

cause 6th gen

[trail basin]

dunno how to help, srry, but... HOW IS A DACIA SANDERO MOD UR FAVOURITE MOD? 😭

[compact ledge]

1300 Configs

Very interesvitve

And has a. Lot of customisation

[trail basin]

💀

dayum

now i understand it

[compact ledge]

Only 400mb

And it has very good jenam

[trail basin]

mine is still the meaneye impreza by hachii

[ebon tangle]

😭

why do people think config bloat is good

[compact ledge]

Nah there is every config is custom and has something different 1258 liveries over 400 accessories

And real life configs from my country MENȚII

[ebon tangle]

config bloat is literally never a good thing

also with that many configs and liveries im willing to bet 80% of that 400mb is just textures

which doesnt leave a lot for... any of the meaningful stuff

also >very good jbeam

yeah sure bro i bet it does

[proud solstice]

most configs are legit the same thing just with slight changes

[compact ledge]

Ik that but there are 30 interiors 29 colours for interiors and custom liveries

[proud solstice]

that doesn't make config bloat less of a bad thing

it was atrocious in the old ui

none of my friends who like those kinda cars (I don't) could enjoy them in beammp either since it tanked fps, but I think that changed at least

[west stump]

it's more annoying if anything

[weak flicker]

any1 knows where this spoiler and roof spoiler are from? i used to have them like 3 days ago but they disappeared and i cant find them anymore

[crystal wraith]

Real so real

One has a different size antenna than the other and it’s a separate configuration (probably)

[ebon tangle]

Those are both stock

[south crow]

Who let me cook

[twilit ivy]

Ok so I have a mod idea and I dont know how to mod but its relatively simple. I will search docs to learn but I want to know if one asset exists before I dive in. Is there a water sprayer asset in beam?

[winged swift]

Hi all, I'm the guy who made this mod: https://www.beamng.com/resources/garbage-bin.35842/

I can't for the life of me - get the close lid action to work. It's fighting against gravity - maybe needs a bounded beam or pressurized one?

https://i.imgur.com/WE9gmIl.gif

[twilit ivy]

hydraulic spring like a cars hatch

idk if that is a thing in beam but it must since there are cars like the tograc and like thats a heavy hatch. Surely you could use whatever it uses

[balmy pilot]

So, does anyone know if trailers can have a built in steering function? need to know before i start modding something...

[weak flicker]

Why dont i have em then

[ebon tangle]

Idk nmp

[twilit ivy]

Also didnt beamng literally take ur mod for this update?

[tacit halo]

im pretty sure the trashbin on 0.37 is the one from the pigeon

[rare comet]

Currently, I've this:

Processor: i3, 6th generation
RAM: 16 GB

Now, some of you guys here said it won't work well. So, I've decided to buy a GPU. Please recommend a good GPU that's not too expensive and will run smoothly. I don't want the game in 4 K, 8 K, or beyond, I just want the game to run smoothly and have just good graphics.

[tacit halo]

whats your budget

[rare comet]

Cheapest, but it just should run the game smoothly.

[tacit halo]

is it a desktop?
what power supply do you have
do you have a 6 pin connector

[rare comet]

Yes, it's a desktop.
180W
Doesn’t have a 6-pin connector. I think it only supports GPUs powered directly from the PCIe slot.

[tacit halo]

yeah uh you aint getting anything that can run beamng with that

[rare comet]

Tell me something else, what should I do to run the game well

[tacit halo]

get a new power supply that has a 6 pin connector and at least 500w

you should ask a technician where you live

prices are wildly different

[cosmic robin]

whole new pc is the best option here

no modern gpu is gonna like that 6th gen i3

[tacit halo]

yeah thats also just scrap

[winged swift]

@twilit ivy Yeah they actually had the trashcan as a static prop for a while. Then they added it as a jbeam for the pigeon and made it standalone. Mine is better tho lol. Once I can figure out the closing mechanism - I’m gonna give it some better pbr textures and call it done.

[robust turtle]

400 megabytes, i bet most of the file size is the thumbnails

[compact ledge]

No😭 😭 😭

[robust turtle]

or the textures

1300 configs

1300 thumbnails

assuming the guy bothered to actually compress the thumbnails to BeamNG spec

[ebon tangle]

im guessing yes

cause if he didnt itd be over a gb

[regal fox]

Hi folks, any chance someone could help me work out why a certain mod isnt working? Not sure where to ask on the discord. Its regarding the Flood mod.

[clever silo]

How do i make a lua mod reload? with the updated code, i assumed unpack and Ctrl+R would work but no luck?

[tacit halo]

control l

[clever silo]

Ahh thank you

[proud solstice]

the mod used to be like 800mb or something like that, they definitely optimized stuff after

[jade wolf]

https://youtu.be/HkJBa6M5iY8

[ebon tangle]

😭

shits 90% photos

[proud solstice]

it had tons of png textures too

[tacit halo]

whats this gay ass youtube shit holy fuck

[cosmic robin]

what the fuck dude

whos the targeted audience

[tacit halo]

a 2 month old fetus

[cosmic robin]

💔

[west stump]

why do these people exist

[silk tide]

free advertisement i guess

[proud solstice]

because they think they're doing something good for the communitty

and unsurprisingly seems like they're russians

[west stump]

so annoying

I bet none of those people even use vanilla beamng vehicles

because all they use is leaked car mods

[silk tide]

These people are never going to pay for a mod

[brittle warren]

Thieves are the only ones using leaked mods. Thieves and children. And none of them would have paid

[ebon tangle]

Many such cases

[balmy pilot]

Anyone know if trailer steering is possible? Like powered steering that works in conjunction with a truck

[fickle raptor]

Why are you calling me out

I love my meshslaps

[west stump]

just stop using leaked mods

[rare comet]

Is it worth playing beamng on geforce now's free plan?

[tacit halo]

no

[rare comet]

If i buy a plan, will it run fine then?

[tacit halo]

no you need a good internet connection and seeing what computer you have i doubt you have more than 100mbps, and you also cant install external mods or keep the mods you installed between sessions so it wouldnt be good

[rare comet]

is 100mbps low?

[tacit halo]

for game streaming? probably

[rare comet]

just playing, not streamin

[tacit halo]

i mean the game being streamed to your computer

youd need like 50mbps at least

yet i still dont reccomend game streaming in general

its much more expensive long term

[plucky flicker]

I’m not 100% sure which channel to ask this in but anyone in this community of likeminded peoples that could help me resolve this would be amazing.

I’m tryna engine swap the etki engine into the grand marshal, I’ve got engine and trans showing, it drives, I’m at the stage of tinkering with nodes and getting the engine alignment right however my driveshaft has turned invisible at some point and I’m not sure how to resolve this? I hope I’m not too vague with my description if so I apologise

This is my first time tryna really mod anything other than minor tinkering in assetto which is completely different so please don’t kill me for being a noob haha

[narrow venture]

Driveshaft is in the etki .dae file

[plucky flicker]

Sorry to clarify I was trying to reuse the grand marshal driveshaft, do I need to use the etki one instead though?

[narrow venture]

are you using the grand marshal trans or the etki trans?

[plucky flicker]

Etki trans, are you cool if I dm you?

[narrow venture]

Sure

[glad tree]

Hey guys I am fixing configurations of a modpack so I am asking do I need to unpack the mod pack for saving and everything or it does save automatically without unpacking

[wicked ocean]

its good practice (and faster) to do any changes while its unpacked

[glad tree]

Actually I unpacked an old public mod pack and it only unpacked few cars

[eager moss]

You don’t need it unpacked, but either way any changes you make whilst its unpacked or not will save in your userfolder and youll have to merge it in your mod folder

[glad tree]

Yes I am doing like that

Deleting the broken ones and putting new ones

Thanks for helping

@eager moss

[fluid bloom]

I still haven't managed to do this

[signal flume]

yo who has the M5 G/F90 mod?

one that looks like ts

[proud solstice]

it's probably shit

[signal flume]

nah

my pc was the shit thing about it

im on a diff pc

that doesnt got the mod

[fiery ember]

hellooo, quick question. i have my inputaction set up, aswell as my diff file. the ondown part is set up aswell but its not doing anything.

[eager moss]

Its ok. Free so who gives a fuck

[eager moss]

Its Bubons free one, you can only get it originally on telegram, so if you dont wanna go on telegram to just get a beam mod 💀 just get it off a modland reupload (only time you should get anything off modland)

[brittle warren]

Telegram is bad. From what I have heard. I got it once to ask a group to remove the download for my mod. And after they did i deleted the app

[eager moss]

Yea ik. I aint going anywhere near it, its sus asf

Pdf central

Hence why i got bubons m5 off modland

[west stump]

how'd you get them to remove it?

[brittle warren]

I just asked politely. It was a Russian group cant remember the name now

[west stump]

I asked them to remove mine and they ignored me

[brittle warren]

Lol most people on those groups are even worse than the modland leakers so I wouldn't doubt it

[west stump]

yeah I gave up

soon enough with all the leaked mods they bring out, it'll be forgotten

[brittle warren]

Yea people that aren't like just kids on modland that use leaked mods never would have bought them anyways so no real loss in sales

[west stump]

true

[tacit halo]

Nah nah

Telegram is crime central

[eager moss]

So both ig

[south crow]

fits so well

[frozen depot]

Could we possibly add another cylinder

[signal flume]

Ok so I am doing fixing the broken mods . Now after doing overwrite after sometime, I decided to open user configurations foldee where the updated ones were saved. Since I am updating the cars from a mod pack , so will overwrite save the mod updates in the mod pack or will I have to send it to the mod pack

[wary garnet]

can i get modding support here?

[eager moss]

Ill get an inv to a guy with 30+ free 4wd mods in his server. Check dms

[glad tree]

Hey guys can you pls answer this

[eager moss]

Wym

[glad tree]

I mean I am fixing some configurations of broken mods . Now I overwrite the fixed ones ober original ones. So does it get saved in the mod pack

?

[eager moss]

So.

If you want to put new configs in a mod, make them ingame, copy the config file and preview file from your userfolder>modname into your userfolder>mods>unpacked>mod>vehicles>modname. Then they will be in the mod

[glad tree]

Willnt overwriting replace the old broken configurations of the mod in the mod pack with the new ones ?

[glad tree]

I am fixing not adding

[eager moss]

If when you paste them into the mod folder it asks you to overwrite them, yes

Depends what you call them

[glad tree]

Look its like there is a config of a police of Chevy corvette which had no tires. I fixed it and wrote the same name as the old one in the search bar of config and did overwrite. Now the fixed one appeared int my user configuration. So is the updated one saved in the m or do I have to to take the one from the user mod to mod pack folder

[eager moss]

Take it from the userfolder to the mod folder

Nothing ever automatically saves into your mods folder

[glad tree]

But I did overwrite

Doenst it mean it saves the updated ones to the original ones in the mod pack

[eager moss]

I really don’t know what you mean

[glad tree]

Look I mean to say doesnt overwrite mean that the mods configuration is updated and is stored in the mod pack automatically

[eager moss]

No i dont think so

Pretty sure you have to manually move them

[glad tree]

Oh I see

[glad tree]

[graceful folio]

Does anyone know a Volkswagen passat 1999 mod or something that's close to it?

[eager moss]

Dunno just find one with lots of downloads

And use an antivirus

And avoid popup ads. They’re 99% of where viruses come from on modland

[outer prism]

give me 3 years

Someone was remaking the roth alpha i think that should be pretty similar

[keen shadow]

anyone know what dynamic decals are for / do?

[rancid wedge]

Not sure how it works internally, but cars that have this in the files can be painted with decals and turned into custom skins easily from in the game

[keen shadow]

ah i see

[unique zealot]

1st step, don't use modland

[crystal wraith]

1st step, actually read what they’re talking about

[clever drum]

Hello there guys 🙂 after playing since day one and lurking the forums for years, I've started modding a bit.
Currently I'm working on a skin for LJ's Signia, but unfortunately I'm having issues with the base color map and after hours of trial and error I can't figure out where the issue is. Some advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

So onward to the actual issue.. For some reason the basecolor map is slightly affected by the primary and secondary color (tertiary color doesn't matter appearently) but I don't know why. UVs are set correctly, materials look fine, color values on the masking layer are all clean white. Do you have any tips?

[regal kayak]

Guys what is the best mod/mods to make your crashes more realistic aka adding debris and glass shattering

[unique zealot]

That’s bad advice on their part

[west stump]

is there a set release date for the Mod?

[red elm]

i mean, its done idk where to put it tho

[west stump]

the repo?

[red elm]

true

lol

[red elm]

um its not approved yet so idk if you can see this but, https://www.beamng.com/resources/sbr4-upfit.36002

[west stump]

i cant just yet, but i think it should get approved this week

[red elm]

well heres the pictures i used so ye

i can just send it to you if you want...

[west stump]

nah i can wait

[red elm]

Alright lol

[west stump]

someone was asking for it thats why i asked lol

[red elm]

people actualy want it?

[west stump]

i shared the labubu picture and they were asking for the link

[red elm]

suprising because everyone be hating on the sbr4 but its my favorite 😭

[west stump]

i love the SBR4 the heck

[red elm]

well hopefully soon or i will just send it to whoever asks

im like 90% sure the textures on the labubu will work but every other texture is just stock sbr4

[red elm]

people always hatin on the ev one

[west stump]

likely because they just dont like evs, which makes sense to me

[red elm]

ye

my mod works with all the interior colors to

[west stump]

cool

[red elm]

yea

i forgot i already did this to the ccf to lol

And centauri

[west stump]

woah thats sick

why not post it in their threads?

[red elm]

i did

[west stump]

oh

[red elm]

but it private cuz not allowed to release

[west stump]

oh okay

[red elm]

sadly

and there older and kinda bad

anyways, back to work on non lore friendly mods

[knotty dove]

@icy crane very sorry for bothering, but is there any plan for putting the Phineas from the Durham into the MD series? I feel like it would be a good fit for a box truck, similar to a 6.7 Cummins

[icy crane]

hmm probably not from me

its very outdated

but it did sound cool

if anyone wants to do it they can with permission

[knotty dove]

It was one of my favorite engines in beam, especially when I noticed the manifold and hot side of the turbo glow with high EGT's

Id love to try and convert it over, but I have no idea where to even start.

[icy crane]

oh yeah forgot it did that

i should do that with my newer content too haha

[knotty dove]

Would you mind if I tried to swap it?

[icy crane]

go ahead, with credit given ofc

[knotty dove]

Alright sweet. Ill end up using this as a learning experience as well. Ive edited engine parameters before (strength, rpm, hp, etc) but not a full swap.

[icy crane]

you can likely keep using the same jbeam as its roughly same engine size

[knotty dove]

Thats what I was figuring, swap the model, parameters, and what not, hopefully should be relatively simple, but who knows

[icy crane]

yeee

[red elm]

out with the old, in with the new

[arctic gazelle]

can someone send me the link to a good d-series facelift mod?

if you know what im talking about

D-Series kodiak?

[maiden remnant]

trying to make a skin for the aw t wagen but when i load up the game nothing shows in parts selector, what am i doing wrong? (i have no experience with modding just wanted to make something cool for my dad)

[granite merlin]

i wanna make a horn a simple one

how can i do it

[tacit halo]

the d series already has a facelift in the base game

facelifting a early 90s truck twice sounds like some stupid shit

[faint bison]

i think he meant kodiak or smth

d series

[iron dove]

i was talking about the DFA mod

sorry to confuse you.

[tacit halo]

that mod is from what ive seen dead

[iron dove]

yea i figured that out already

i just wanted more variants for the d-series is what i was trying to say

[queen cave]

Look at gunners mod

[queen cave]

M bad this one

[warm sphinx]

That’s friggin awesome! Should make making models super easy 🙂

[brittle warren]

Your a map guy what all should I. Or could I add to make people's lives a little easier.

[warm sphinx]

Honestly it looks great. My main hope would be to import (into blender) vehicle GLTF exports (from the game) and then re-export them as 3D models much more easily

So if that works that’s all I need

So I can easily make static D-Series ambulances and such for example

Or an old rusted D series on a farm

[brittle warren]

The material example i showed used a gltf and made all the mats. I havent worked on beam material importing. Now that you said that I need to do it also.

[warm sphinx]

Yeah I saw GLTF and got excited. Because iirc that’s what the export format is

I’ve done some of it before but materials have always been a MASSIVE pain

[brittle warren]

I hate making the material file lol. Im glad I got non image materials exporting, with there correct colors,cause sometimes i just need a shiny solid color. That took a while lol.

[grim kraken]

why wont cars that ive downloaded show up in my mods. ive followed a bunch of tutorials and no matter what car i try to download it wont work

[eager moss]

Oh wow, so pretty much creates the ability to generate a jbeam model ready to export?

@brittle warren so whats it do then lol 😭

[brittle warren]

Did you watch the videos?

[eager moss]

The first yes haha

[brittle warren]

Watch em all lol

And ur a map guy you should know that the first video is making collision meshes and parenting em

[eager moss]

Looks to me like it creates a collision mesh… yea. What i meant lol

So it creates a collision mesh, so you can then convert to a jbeam file?

[brittle warren]

No the colmesh is for maps.
I could probably make a jbeam creator but wont auto make one like you would have to fill out a few paramatets.

[eager moss]

Oh fair. I get what you mean now. Looked like it was creating something that could be used for custom jbeam.

I also see the material creating thing, less interesting but definitely useful

[brittle warren]

Update creates lods now

@crystal wraith

[crystal wraith]

Side question how do you get the tris and stuff on screen again I always forget

[brittle warren]

statistics

[crystal wraith]

Oh yeah

[brittle warren]

Working on your jbeam stuff rn lol

[eager moss]

fire

will make life a lot easier if that works ahah

[eager moss]

Awesome.

So what exactly does it do? Create a simplified jbeam suitable model?

[brittle warren]

no you will still have to add nodes but this will convert it to jbeamand gives you all jbeam options you can fill out and change directly in blender likew spring valuesand other things

[crystal wraith]

@brittle warren something that’d be cool and useful is upon export, allow it to (optionally) make a new folder and name it

[eager moss]

Great

[brittle warren]

already does for daes

[crystal wraith]

Even possibly create a new material json so you can easily export multiple new things to one folder and it’ll combine all materials into one json

[brittle warren]

Already does lol

Ive ben on one doing everything i can think of lol

[placid abyss]

where are the grand marshal's lettering textures

[warm sphinx]

That is awesome

Any idea when it will be released?

No pressure just curious

[brittle warren]

Hoping to have the jbeam portion finished by this sunday, there are too many jbeam options lol. And a beta release Monday fingers crossed. You should be able to make a whole mod in blender itself.

[warm sphinx]

Oh I meant just the map stuff lol. The Jbeam stuff sounds extra epic though!

Will it be paid I assume? Because allot of people will use it to make paid content

At the very least I’d like to support when it drops because I will be making paid content/paid early access stuff with it

[brittle warren]

It's gonna a be totally free

Idc what people make with it

Just want more people modding

[warm sphinx]

Hell yeah. Respect

[queen cave]

So why does a lightbar disapier when i move it? i have one of maxies lightbars on the t series and before i move it i see it but once i move the nodes it just disaperas. i do still see the lights and all but no bar.

[brittle warren]

Are you moving the mesh and the jbeam at the same time? If the mesh is to far away they like to act up

[queen cave]

So how do i move the mesh to be with the nodes?

[brittle warren]

You can use pos arguments on the flexbodies. Look at the docs im not on my pc rn but its explained pretty well.

[queen cave]

ok

So i read through the flex bodys but didnt see anything in it but this is what im currently at

[brittle warren]

See how the lighbarmount high has pos arguments use those for all the flexbodies and move them to line up with the jbeam after it is aligned.

[queen cave]

So use the pos in flex bodys and move that into the nodes than make final adjustments?

Ok i did this and it disapered.

I only did the y pos

Ok i got the mesh back but still in the same spot.

[brittle warren]

Blender Mod Tools Update
Now creates node names and displays in 3d space

[queen cave]

So im stuck im trying many thing but i can not make the model move

Like i can move the jbeam but not the model just not sure how to move it.

[somber mica]

i’ve been messing with suspension tuning and noticed camber/caster in beam seem to be applied by moving the lower arm pivots instead of through the strut top/steering axis like irl. i checked vanilla cars and they do the same. is that just the standard way beam handles alignment, or is there a proper way to set it up more realistically? sorry if i'm missing something/misunderstood anything

i just feel like that is a terrible way for alignment to be done

[pliant robin]

Trying to do The Actual India Plate

[spark pewter]

looking good! i'm curious how does it make the collider? would it also work on more complex objects?

[proud seal]

how people on youtube seem to be playing Mutiplayer mode of this game, How did they do that?

[brittle warren]

Just a couple modifiers. And yes it works on anything unless you mean like a hollow object because i havent done that yet. Like a tube or something

[astral zodiac]

how do i fix the texture issues on the DT40L
trying to fix most of them myself

[austere nacelle]

I gather you can copy the engine out of an Automation exported car and onto something else, but how viable/how much of a pain in the ass is it? Considering trying to fill the hole in my Beamng heart where a lower-end Boxer engine than the one from
the sunburst would be.

[brittle warren]

Just a little update for the blender addon

[unique zealot]

BeamMP

[unique zealot]

I definitely want to follow this

Imagine creating a full mod just from blender

[wicked ocean]

bruhhhh what are those node IDs

also you're only moving one of the 5 meshes you have there

[queen cave]

Again im new to modding

[wicked ocean]

did you not start with an existing jbeam? Also if you are new, I strongly recommend reading the wiki

lots of very good information on there

[queen cave]

I already read the wiki

Its just im not sure why the lightbar its self isnt moving

[wicked ocean]

^

[queen cave]

Ok ill look into ti once im done with my flight

[queen cave]

Where are the other meshes at?

[wicked ocean]

next to the one that you have already edited

[queen cave]

in the flexbodies correct?

[wicked ocean]

yes

your flexbodies are your meshes

hence the header "mesh"

[queen cave]

So i need to add this line to here

[queen cave]

^

[wicked ocean]

yes

[queen cave]

lright got it sort where i want it but the right side sorta rasise slightly is it just conflicting wothe th horn or just is the jbeam causing that to happen

[queen cave]

Sorry for the reply but your the only persont that has helped.

[wicked ocean]

is the node being pushed?

pause the game with J, then reset with R

if its in the correct place, then moves to the tilted position, your nodes are being shifted by a collision somewhere

[queen cave]

My guess it the horn correct?

[wicked ocean]

yes

you can't just have items occupy the same space like that lol

if I were you, I'd change the slot-type to match the slot the horns are in

if you want it positioned there

[queen cave]

At sompoint i want to try to get a mount for it but im just going t have it on the roof

I do plan on adding the rest of maxies lightbars just leraning how to do it. like a trial run

[queen cave]

So i completly moved it away from the horns but still having the same issue where one side slightly raises.

[wicked ocean]

moving it away isn't going to do anything

[wicked ocean]

^

moving the mesh just moves the visible part

the physics are all defined by the nodes and collision triangles

[queen cave]

could the jbeam be causeing it aswell case it not inist of the jbeam

[wicked ocean]

well yes

the entire file is the jbeam

its the position of your nodes thats the problem

you need to move them

not the mesh

[queen cave]

So in the nodes part i should match them to my mesh pos?

[wicked ocean]

you should be matching the mesh to the nodes

as thats how the mesh deforms

the nodes should be positioned to they don't clash with other parts

[queen cave]

Ok iin the defualt jbeamfile the nodes are setup like this. in alternateing pos

just the xpos isnt

[wicked ocean]

I couldn't possibly tell you

[queen cave]

senced i moved it om not sure how to find the pos

[wicked ocean]

you're the one with the vehicle in front of you

look at the nodes that are being shifted

and move them to where they naturally want to sit, or well out of the way

[queen cave]

I got it thank you .

not just blender i mean like everything else

[quiet cradle]

Yea i looked tutorials and i saw

Also car is difficult since its more like not square

Its a lot of curves and that

[tacit halo]

no and beamng is just super difficult to make mods for

[rancid scaffold]

guys I need some help with the skin making, I did the steps from beamNG documentation all but the texture cooker. My skin and material appears in the material window, but is not related to the car so it does not apply. How can I solve that?
folders are correct, checked twice. So it should appear as a car material. I can select the skin from vehicle part config

by what I understand the skin is not applying to the car, the car is using the main skin even if the part configuration my custom skin is selected. Must be something with the json or jbeam file

[unborn vessel]

does repo onlu take .zip files

?

[steel radish]

No way canon event

So I'm trying to put the derby legran's fuelcell into the grand marshall limo, but I'm not sure how to reference it to get the mesh to show up

in the console I'm seeing the error:
Mesh 'legran_fuelcell' not found

[brittle warren]

You need to get the model from the legrans dae and place it in your mod

[haughty marten]

ah, ok, for some reason I thought I could get it to reference it directly from the game's files without needing to copy it

[brittle warren]

This one right if so yea. The only things you can reference in other cars are common folder parts.

Here is the dae for the tank if you dont want to look for it

[haughty marten]

I was actually just about to ask how to export it lol

I installed blender and found it in the item tree but haven't used Blender before so I didn't know how to get just it

thank you for the help

[brittle warren]

So you just click the object you want then hit file export then dae. In the right side menu you would click selection only and then in the geometry tab click triangulate and apply modifiers.

[haughty marten]

thank you again!

Is there any way to reduce the weight of a car( not with removingparts just the overall weight of the mod car)

[queen cave]

You will need to go into the files but im not sure how to do it. Plus if you dont know what does what would not recommend messing with it.

[thorn hinge]

Eh worth a try js dont know what effects weights.

[queen cave]

The nodes

I belive

[thorn hinge]

What exactly with nodes?

Node Weight?

[queen cave]

That might be it. Never messed with the weight. I just moved them.

[abstract panther]

That’s it. one node is roughly a kg and u change them but it can cause instability like shaking or explode if u change one single one to much. u can check total value if u do crtl+n till there total weight in top left.

[thorn hinge]

Well the car is 1.3tons i need it to be 1.2-1.1 tons is that a big amount

[abstract panther]

Tbh I’m not to sure. it is 100% possible but some of the beam values might need changing but depends on how many parts u want to do. like a lot of parts with lil valves changed eached or some main parts and a lot more lowerd but first option would probably be longer

Hey guys, trying my hardest to get the automatic vehicle tester running, because I have some configs I'm trying to make .info files for from a modded vehicle, and I for the life of me CANNOT get this to work.

[tight shuttle]

put both of these in your userfolder (i.e. directly inside current)
edit the json to refer to the vehicle and config you want
then launch the game, and as soon as it loads into the main menu, press ~ to open the console and paste the command from the txt

[late creek]

THANK YOU! It''s running right now!

It's not a bad thing that it's experiencing SOME lua errors, right?

[tight shuttle]

glad it worked

[tight shuttle]

uh... what kind?

[late creek]

Or when it first loaded in? Because the tests are running

It just had the big red box in the top right and quickly read "FATAL Lua error"

Then the test started running

[tight shuttle]

hm
if the test runs as usual, you can probably ignore it

[late creek]

Coolio!

Thanks man! Once I have that, I have the proper YT tutorials I need to the rest of the stuff I need to do

Then it's Hello, Herbie!

https://tenor.com/view/herbie-fully-loaded-gif-26380011

[late creek]

This should be the last thing I ask, where do I go to get the info file, now that the test has finished?

I'm so sorry to be a bother!!

[tight shuttle]

nah it's all good, the same vehicles/(vehicle) folder in your user folder where the configs themselves are saved

[late creek]

OK! I see it! Wickedddd

Should it auto-apply to the config when I load the game next time?

[tight shuttle]

yeah

you could even just try closing and reopening the config selector menu, or reloading the ui (i forget the default keybind for that though)

[late creek]

It did work!!!! Amazing!!!

[late creek]

Thanks Stig! I just need to do this 14 more times... and we'll be all set XD

[tight shuttle]

are you familiar with the showroom's thumbnail generator?

[late creek]

I am,. but I took my own photos to use that showcased the cars better, since they each have small tiny changes

That won't cause issues, correct?

[tight shuttle]

nah

[late creek]

Wicked!

[tight shuttle]

though in the interest of reducing mod size, you can choose to scale them as small as 500x281 (vanilla thumbnail resolution) and make them jpegs too

[late creek]

How do I tell it to do that, because it certainly takes a toll loading

Or do I have to redo them all?

[tight shuttle]

assuming you're just taking screenshots instead of using the showroom's thumbnail generator, you can just resize them in an external program like paint dot net or gimp (or even ms paint, but its jpeg compression won't be the most efficient)

[late creek]

Okay, shouldn't take too long to do then. Definitely going to for loading times sake! Thank you

Can anyone help me out? trying to make a custom livery for the d-series, but when i try loading it in the game, it doesn't show. Just shows a basic color that I can change. it shows up as the correct name and all is selectable liveries, but just doesn't load anything

[ebon tangle]

why is ur color map gray

the color map works off RGB

first color is R, second is G, third is B

so having grey doesnt mean much to the game

[still glade]

What do you mean? I’m making the livery after my IRL truck and that’s what the colors on my truck are, so I just used them. I’ve never made a livery before, so don’t really know what I’m doing. Did I screw anything up with the code?

[ebon tangle]

nvm im dumb

i misread ur material file

[still glade]

No worries. So what am I doing wrong?

[ebon tangle]

check console, is there any errors there?

the game might not be able to read ur base color map

[still glade]

What console?

Is there something better I should change the base color map to?

[ebon tangle]

press `

[still glade]

I don't see anything, but I also don't really know what I'm looking at

[ebon tangle]

wow not used to seeing a console with no errors at all

is ur filepath correct?

[still glade]

Yeah, pretty sure

How do i check that?

[ebon tangle]

follow it urself

if it leads to the file you want all should be good

[still glade]

ignore the hardrive names. I bought this PC off my brother and just haven't changed the names yet from what he had them as. Is this a correct file path?

[ebon tangle]

yeah the file path in the material file doesnt match the file path to the base color map

[still glade]

Ok. What do I need to fix?

[ebon tangle]

what i just said

change the path it the material file so it matches ur folders

vehicles/pickup/whatever.png

[still glade]

The base color map?

[ebon tangle]

yeah

[still glade]

So would it be /vehicles/common/pickup/choochoo_skin.png

[ebon tangle]

no?

because ur skin isnt in common

its in the folder you created in ur mod folder

[still glade]

Ok, so just remove the common?

[ebon tangle]

yeah try that

[still glade]

Alright, will do

Thank you!

Still nothing 💀
“baseColorMap”: “/vehicles/pickup/choochoo_skin.png”,

Oh wait, there are two base color maps. Let me try changing both quick

Still isn’t working. You want me to send you the files to see if it is maybe just something on my end?

[clever crystal]

Hi!
I’m looking for a modder who’d be interested in creating a custom private add-on for the T-Series. I’m wanting a set of custom rear fenders — the smooth, full-wrap style that covers both rear axles and sits tight to the tires, similar to the ones you’d see on high-end show trucks or Peterbilts.

They have a clean, flush look with possible paint-match or chrome options, and I’d love to include light slots like you’d see on a custom rig setup.

If you’re interested, please DM me — we can talk details and pricing privately, and I’d love to see some examples of your previous work to make sure it’s a good fit.
I’ll drop the reference photos

[native night]

does anyone know of any trailer mods looking for like a heavy haul trailer

[jovial sundial]

heya, anyone know how to fix this?

been wanting to get into modelling/texturing in beam for a while now, and I can't find any tutorial on this (as I don't even know how to describe it).

Dunno if I need to bake the texture or something else etc.

[lost cloak]

Best to use blender to grab the mesh of that engine into that other car .dae then use the same jbeam of that first car where you grabbed the mesh from into that new car and yeah chatgpt can help too

[ebon tangle]

Chatgpt 😭

[tough scaffold]

hey guys, i have got a livery for beamng but i dont know how to upload it, i watched a youtube video and tried to do it but it didnt work.

you are using the UV map of the bx body so you need to adjust your spoiler to it ( basically pick a part thats just plain color like the trunk hood doors or whatever and scale the uv to 0 and put it there)

[golden bear]

does anyone know of a motorcle mod that handles better than the hirochi outlaw

[proud solstice]

there are none

[twilit wyvern]

Like just rename the mesh?

[lost cloak]

Don't expect people to know out of the box bud

[lost cloak]

If ur using your mods jbeam then yes you can rename the mesh to what you have on ur mod car

[twilit wyvern]

It’s that simple

Wait isn’t that what a mesh slap kind of is?

[brittle warren]

Thats exactly a meshslap

[ebon tangle]

Yeah so go learn, dont try to get ai to do it for you

[twilit wyvern]

Ah

[brittle warren]

Look up how to make a part for a beamng car on youtube. There is a good tutorial. And i think he does another after on how to adjust the jbeam to match.

[lost cloak]

Yes. But If ur a beginner it's inevitable if you wanna learn

Meshslap is not bad if u do it right

[twilit wyvern]

Yeah I’ve done some my garage modding but that’s really easy tho

[lost cloak]

It is easy

[twilit wyvern]

Yeah sounds ez lol

[lost cloak]

If you wanna model a engine go do it then u can use jbeam of that engine but editing little bit of it

[twilit wyvern]

I mean I’m fine with meshslaps lol

[lost cloak]

Their fire ||if done right||

[queen cave]

I used gemini to help me with the jbeam. Is somewhat helped.

[buoyant garden]

i litterly dont know

[cold sentinel]

Why is even just making roads is hard

I imported terrain to my new map and now I have to struggle finding how to make good roads

[twilit wyvern]

uh can i like reapply textures some how?

ima clear my cachy rq

[twilit wyvern]

That didn’t help

@brittle warren ?

[brittle warren]

tHAT MEANS NO MATERIALS WITH THOSE NAMES EXIST AT ALL

Oops caps

[twilit wyvern]

Ohhhh ig im fucked then

[brittle warren]

Is it your own mod? if so just check the names in blender and make the materials

[twilit wyvern]

No

It’s not mine

Sooo

[twilit wyvern]

Uh

[sly pasture]

hello world. Ive been trying to add a prop. In blender the DAE file is completely fine as far as I can tell, but in game chunks of it are missing, And very systematically, but I cant find a rhyme or reason for it.

[crystal wraith]

probably your normals

[sly pasture]

my what?

Nevermind, found it

[buoyant garden]

js make new materials

[modest oracle]

who is gonna make a good quality svj mod and with ** A GINTANI LOUD EXHAUST**?

[tacit halo]

use the right channel

[modest oracle]

sybau

[tacit halo]

hey im not the one asking for people to spend their time making stuff for me in the wrong channel

[west stump]

my mod has been awaiting approval since last week Thursday, it still hasn't been approved so what do I do and who do I contact?

[rancid wedge]

Usually it takes a few days at most, if it takes more you can expect them to deny it soon and tell you what fo change

At least that happend the only time I had that

[west stump]

so here's what happened, I submitted the mod on Wednesday and then on Thursday, told me to change a certain thing about the mod and it will be approved. so I updated the mod and submitted it again. its been awaiting approval since then

[rancid wedge]

Maybe they put mods that have been denied before on a lower priority list, I'd maybe wait some days more

[west stump]

i guess ill wait till Friday then

[tough scaffold]

Hey, does anybody know how to make a livery?

I mean like uploading to the game.

[rustic viper]

Can anyone make a livery for my car? I can send over the mod file

[trim sierra]

hello
i wander can i make own winly from mod police cars (is rusian) i wanna slovenian or english

[trim sierra]

what app?

[buoyant garden]

yo if i wannt to make a facelift of a ingame car shud i make it off the same car or make a completly new car?

[tacit halo]

the whole point of a facelift is to reuse the underlying structure and body so its cheaper

making an entire new car would be a new generation

[unique zealot]

same, as lichi said, a new car completely is a new generation

but a facelift mod as a presumably first one is a better choice to make than a car from scratch

[hushed current]

could someone help me my material doesnt wanna map no matter what i do 😭

its the same name in blender

i cant upload pics

[buoyant garden]

hm

[buoyant garden]

im prob gona do the template autobella kit car

and try after to facelift the etkc cuz i already made a perf mod for it

modeling so hard

on cars compared to weapons

[unique zealot]

it just takes practice

[buoyant garden]

like turbos or smol stuff is easy

but headlights xd

thing is i dont know how to adapt the model to my desired design cuz the original modler made it his way

and is kinda hard to use his stuff to make mine

like ive made this in like 3 hours and its the first gun i made

or this

actually

i might be dumb

insted of makeing the headlight from the one there is already i can js join the glass with the bumper so its flush and then make a headlight shape and boolean it then i can make the headlight then i can js dupe the headlight and make the frame and eazy boom

[hushed current]

how do i fix this, how do i put the tire back. the rim is on the hub but the tire is more forward than the rim

[unique zealot]

[unique zealot]

did you open it in blender or just the jbeam

[hushed current]

wdym

this is how it is in blender

do you wanna see the jbeam

[unique zealot]

ok the first thing is to apply all transforms, just make sure its all set and then if it doesnt work, try using the node offset in the jbeam file

thats the only things i can think of that would fix this

[hushed current]

ok ill try those thanks

wheeloffset?

[unique zealot]

i think so

[hushed current]

how should i adjust it just go into the negatives or

[unique zealot]

try a rounded number like 2 and then fine tune it from there, thats what i usually do

[hushed current]

seems to not like me, everytime i put a number in the wheel explodes

doesnt even like -0.55

[unique zealot]

not sure how i can help further tho

[hushed current]

i make changes and it doesnt even look like it moved

🤷

[unique zealot]

just make sure to refresh it or clear your cache too in case thats conflicting

[brittle warren]

Don't edit locked mods one of the fastest way to get banned from here. Especially when they are paid mods.

[twilit wyvern]

Wash planing to anyway

[brittle warren]

You already are by messing with materials. That is editing. Anyone with a dts file is specifically saying dont touch my mod.

[torn remnant]

when did they allow mods to overwrite vanilla content

[regal latch]

Always was like this

[tacit halo]

they dont?

old repo mods yeah but if you udpate them they get denied and you have to remove that part

[twilit igloo]

didt expect someoe to want me to collab with fillman.... also who is Hoover?https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/962408058301071440/1428359929345081505/image.png?ex=68f23758&is=68f0e5d8&hm=3635713c7363902574c984c3bac098cdd999e57b3ef116ea88bed970793f0972

DTS is a funny format
I have an old mod that I accidentally overwrote with a bad DAE years ago that I wanted to get back, so I wrote this
https://github.com/Dummiesman/DynamixThreeSpaceBlenderAddon

[cold sentinel]

How do I actually make decent roads

Im making a map mod

[ionic juniper]

Trial and error

[magic radish]

so i am trying to merge 2 fenders from 2 sperate scintilla mods, altough ive tried the knife tool on all 4 for the exact same cuts for merging, but i still keep a bezel rendering them useless. any tips?

[tacit halo]

hi there

i might be able to help

let me think for a tad

[magic radish]

No hurry, i got the time

[tacit halo]

oh yeah i forgor

uh its not like a real car where you can just cut and bond anywhere
you need to cut along the edges of the mesh and then join it in those same edges, otherwise the thing will not properly shade
also did you get permission from the original authors to mod their stuff?

[sinful kraken]

Yo anyone knows a good camera mod? Like idk a better one where it moves
I think it was called chase camera

[magic radish]

Not yet, i was seeing if i can even make it work before asking. Otherwise it wont matter. But, the edges are different on both fenders slightly, tho enough to make that not possible. Im trying if its possible before i ask.

[tacit halo]

enhanced chase camera and enhanced interior camera

[sinful kraken]

And what site
I don't find it on modland

[tacit halo]

youll need to cut it along those edges then merge them

[tacit halo]

its like modland is not a good website for mods
tried the official beamng mod repository?

[magic radish]

Yes, tho the edges are different. Meaning if i do it has a different shape on both so i cant seem to merge them.

[tacit halo]

show

[sinful kraken]

Yea I tried both

[magic radish]

Hold on let me get back on pc

[tacit halo]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/enhanced-chase-camera.29131/
https://www.beamng.com/resources/enhanced-interior-camera.24952/
iin that case, i suggest getting glasses

[magic radish]

[sinful kraken]

Yea I tried both
But I find try to search for this one in repo...
Thx

[night compass]

How do I get dynamic mirrors to render further away from the vehicle

First pic has the camera further away from the car second pic is closer

[tacit halo]

im pretty sure its done on purpose because dynamic mirrors are very performance heavy

[night compass]

i know

but is there not a way to override this

[tacit halo]

im not sure but theres no real reason

[night compass]

I'd love to ask a BeamNG dev

[tacit halo]

well checking the 2 lua files that are called mirror, they dont contain anything related to distance so overriding this is probably not possible or even worth the hassle

especially because it just halfs the fps in some scenarios so your mod would be unusable for a lot of people

[night compass]

I checked with Notepad++ and found some stuff but I dunno what it means

[tacit halo]

this one also mentions mirrors, and does stuff with the player camera so

[eternal slate]

Yea

[raw dagger]

Anybody use Flanje’s Durango?

[thorn jewel]

what does error in mod manager mean? how do i resolve that?

[brittle warren]

Hell yea idk how i never found that lol when i was looking. i gave up on that project tho and am making a all around mod making adddon. Generates lods. Colli8sions meshes. Most of a jbeam controllers slots and all. And a material generator that auto exports all the images you used as png and makes the mat file for you full principledbsdf support

[maiden scaffold]

Oh it's a project I started just 24 hours ago lol

[brittle warren]

Oh oh lol i thought it was old i didnt look at it lol

well the date at least

I have all the old versions working with mats but the "newest" version of dts just breaks it for some reasson lol i think its v33 or v32

[stark zenith]

Anyone know some good realistic mods that i can download directly from the respitory in Beam.ng and that will actually work? any suggestions?
