[oak smelt]

hi. i'm trying to edit a mod so that it functions better

https://www.beamng.com/resources/strong-hydraulics.18071/

in its current state, the steering arms break even after short bursts, and the suspension catastrophically fails if u switch on the hydros for too long

and also id like for it to hop higher, i wanna be able to jump over people's cars in multiplayer x)

ive successfully got it to hop slightly higher by changing beamLimitSpring higher but it results in it being even more unstable, going as far to break simulation entirely sometimes

ive tried changing the strengths to FLT_MAX in bluebuck_suspension_F/R but that also results in the sim breaking

at this point im at my wits end on getting this to work better :(

i even used the global strength mod but it doesn't solve all the issues

Hullo,
I want to look into making a mod (in spite of some woes I have with another driving game that wasn't what I wanted it to be), and wondering if I can get some pointers to get started on modding (what programming language is used, what people use to compile codes, what libraries are useful, etc).
Once I get some fundamentals I can be off to the races, I'm not new to modding games

I want to make some GUI/interactable things, HUD elements, stuff like that. I'll also be making a custom map but I've already dabbled around with that

Make sure to get a json material file

[astral gazelle]

does anyone has the fixed / pdated version of this mod
https://www.beamng.com/resources/gltf-sequence-exporter.32093/

[brittle warren]

Tells you how to fix it in the first review on the mod

[astral gazelle]

thaaaannnkkks bruuuhh

you saved me! I'm messing with AI and the mod for a day...

[supple olive]

there was a koenigsegg mod in showcase your mod,anyone has any clue what happened?

i dont see it there

[eager moss]

Yea the json file is needed to be merged once the mod is done

[small widget]

The real question now is, when tracked loader?

[brittle warren]

There are mods with tracks so p[robably not long

[small widget]

I sure hope not

[hard radish]

I’ve probably asked it before but anyone knows how to spawn a .dae that already exists in a game? I want it to spawn at specific coordinates, dimensions, etc.

[little portal]

Has to be in common folder tho i believe

Does anyone have like a pretty heavy duty tractor or something?

Hey there everybody I’m new to the game and looking for tips

[cinder crater]

hi. tips?

[hard flume]

Sure.

There are many things to learn. Here's a good video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2xbwE1XEJY. But, if you are interested in police configurations, I have a server where I made some. 😉 🤭

[queen sigil]

was SimpleNG affected by version 0.38 or no?

[golden gulch]

my last picture from last update

[umbral falcon]

Politely, I hope all those mods broke this update.

[golden gulch]

thats not to kind to @vale mulch

[umbral falcon]

I'm sorry, @vale mulch. To each their own. I understand all the work mods for this game take.

[vale mulch]

lol, i do understand your frustration. squat trucks are indeed a parasite to this world. ive made the mod with stock and aftermarket in mind, not just mesh slapped clap rig stuff lol

[golden gulch]

It ain’t even squatted 😭

[vale mulch]

the gaps budddy,, figure it out

[brittle warren]

Mans said lemme point it out for you

[vale mulch]

frrr lmao

[golden gulch]

Angles

[vale mulch]

bubba. im a photographer and i know for 100000000000% certainty that truck is squatted. i also own one. and i know how they look from all angles when they arent squatted.

at no angle does it make the back of your truck ride ground.

[wary birch]

can you still use modded cars in beamng career mode? somebody told me to ask in here.

[eager moss]

Some yes i think

[tacit halo]

A very important one is shift control alt windows L

[tacit halo]

I would eat a bowl of rocks and mud before ever being near something like that

[shy magnet]

any ideas what mods might be causing this?

or if its not mods what else?

[eager moss]

thats whats been updated in the last version update. try either running beam in safe mode, which disables all mods, and if it still doesn't work your update probably installed wrong

[shy magnet]

yeah its fine in safe mode

i'm just not really sure what mods could be affecting that

[eager moss]

yea go through all your mods and anything italy related probably

[shy magnet]

nothing italy related that i know of

there used to be that clear cache woud ask if you want to clear level files but i cant find that option anymore

thinking it might be because i've used F11 World Editor on it?

[tacit halo]

probably

[shy magnet]

is there a button to clear that somewhere?

[tacit halo]

i dont remember where the changes you made to a map are stored but somewhere in the userfolder it should be there

[shy magnet]

thanks, i'll keep looking around in there

anyone here has experience in unreal engine?

What's going on here? I'm going crazy
I'm trying to import a alembic file from blender to Unreal engine, which made from beamng
anything works fine except the wheels

[untold meadow]

Does anyone have any good gt3 car mods?

[raven dock]

is there any good rc mods?

[pulsar remnant]

Delete the levels Italy folder from userfolder. Terrain file got messed up and is overwriting the game default one

[upper shard]

is there any better way to testing mods while writing them than restarting the game after each modification 😭

[brittle warren]

Depends on the mod. Lua can be reloaded with control and all cars can be reloaded with control r. Any javescript there is an option in the dev console to stop cacheing so it updates in real time.

[upper shard]

hmm so i was just dumb

nevermind i made my first mod atleast

its for sunburst2, custom ecu and vgt kit

[fair cedar]

you should make a mod that lets you change the values of the new heavy machine claw

[ebon quail]

what values?

[fair cedar]

the hydraulic

im not a coding person so i know literally nothing about this

[brittle warren]

Like the speed?

[fair cedar]

yes

[ebon quail]

the hydraulic speed is changed with engine speed

so rev up your engine to get higher speeds

[fair cedar]

so just make the engine rev higher?

but there is no option to change the ecu

[brittle warren]

I gotchu one sec lol

[ebon quail]

why would you want to change that?

[fair cedar]

cuz if you get higher rpm, you said the hydraulics are faster

[ebon quail]

ohhh

[fair cedar]

higher rpm=more speed

i think in about a month there’s gonna be a even bigger version of these cars

[brittle warren]

Should work. Use the new engine and ecu

[fair cedar]

WHAT

holy that was fast

thank you man

thanks @brittle warren

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @brittle warren (current: #7 - 277)

[fair cedar]

wait how much does it rev now?

[brittle warren]

7k with the new ecu

Way higher than it should but you dont have to

[fair cedar]

wait on the gauge it was 25 max i think

so it went from 250 to 7k?

[brittle warren]

35 is 3.5k i just added 3.5k

[fair cedar]

oh

😭 im dumb

[brittle warren]

im also dumb i sent a rar and not zip

[fair cedar]

what’s the difference?

[brittle warren]

one works one dont lol beam cant read rar compression

[fair cedar]

ah

well i know there is zip, pak, DLL, rar

4 i know, wait no 5, txt

oh exe

[brittle warren]

man pak files are so weird because they are a different thing completely for all games even tho they all share the same file extension lol

[fair cedar]

i only know pak files because of beamng

wait was it beamng?

idk but anyway

[upper veldt]

im currently trying to figure how can i make the WL40 have auto centering steering and proper forcefeedback for steering wheels

[fair cedar]

like trying to find a needle in a haystack the size of the moon

i pray for you

[upper veldt]

also you can make the hydraulics faster by giving the pump a higher gear ratio=More hydraulic flow=Faster

[fair cedar]

jbeam?

how do i use this

[upper veldt]

i can put it in a zip if you want, or have you edited mods before?

[fair cedar]

please put it in a zip i have no idea how mods work just use them

[upper veldt]

there are some other wip stuff and experiemental, you can poke arround, if you get any problems just delete it. if i can manage to get proper steering wheel steering working, that i will upload to beamng forums.

[fair cedar]

what that do

[upper veldt]

what do what? you can drop the zip in current/mods and then you can find the high flow pump under engine>transmission>main hydraulic pump

[fair cedar]

ohh

[upper veldt]

yes

[fair cedar]

ah

but its not variable

[upper veldt]

i mean it goes even faster if you rev the engine? i dunno, just changed the gear ratio on the pump so it spins faster 😅

[fair cedar]

so i cant steer

[brittle warren]

Mines got a cooler name lol

[upper veldt]

yes 🤣

[brittle warren]

The max i seem to be able to get it is about 3 times faster

It just refuses to go any faster so hydros are next thing to ewdit

[fair cedar]

thank you people for the mods btw

[tulip dome]

Hello all. Trying to mess around with the dump truck for some suspension work.

When I add a node offset or move either nothing happens to the position or the hubs just break and the wheels disconnect.

Anyone able to help me understand why or what I need to do different so the wheels rotation center point is aligned with the wheels center?

[little portal]

The wheel nodes moved correctly, but the flexbodies just didnt

[fair cedar]

someone should make a mod to make the claw stronger

[eager moss]

you should

[fair cedar]

i cant mod man

[unique zealot]

then learn

[tulip dome]

Stronger how? Like its strength to pick stuff up off the ground?

That’s just a simple jbeam edit

[fair cedar]

no make the claw be able to crush a steel coil

[fair cedar]

you should make them stronger

[fair cedar]

oi

you mate

you mate

[tulip dome]

yes hello

[tulip dome]

si

[fair cedar]

you should tell me how to make the crush force stronger

of the claw

[eager moss]

dude

stop hassling others to do it

learn to mod and do it yourself

dont be lazy

[glossy crest]

hes asking for help lmao

maybe help him so he doesnt need to ask everyone??

[eager moss]

Nah he’s been going on about how everyone else should make it

Fillman gave him the information he needs

If we just “tell him” he’ll never learn

He’s been given information, rest he’ll need to work out by trial and error

[drifting wasp]

yo how do i use carplay?

[unique zealot]

“You should tell me” is very different from “can you help me”

[outer heart]

start learning modding with modelling beamng maps in blender.

[west stump]

no start with swapping parts or making new parts

[fair cedar]

[balmy rapids]

does anyone have the .dae of the vivace? only the chassis

[crystal wraith]

Start learning vehicle modeling by modeling houses for maps? 😭😭 2 completely different things

Buildings are just tons of squares, a fender or body panel is way more complex

[west stump]

where do you think the dae would be located

[balmy rapids]

bro i just need only the chassis no doors no nothing

and i was thinking maybe someone has it

[west stump]

just delete everything but the chassis?

[vocal junco]

is there a mod where if you hold ctrl and click a part it comes right off? instead of having to get strength on 100 and keep pulling around

[fair cedar]

what

[unique zealot]

hes asking if theres a mod that breaks the part, probably as part of the nodegroup off, instead of pulling it off with the node grabber

[whole ivy]

Anyone knows a car mod with like a crash test car and map

[shadow forge]

How diffrent is rls to rego career

is there any way to reload mods without having to reopen the game? im attempting to make a ui app that runs a lua script but after every edit i have to reopen the game. control+L for some reason makes it so the console wont open and f5 doesn't update the app when i change the text

[fair cedar]

ctrl+r

[hasty bloom]

ctrl+r just reloads the vehicle not the mods or ui apps

[gilded schooner]

can someone please help me? Im making a small beat up engine mod for the D series, and I want the engine impact damage to be on when spawning it in.

ive done the same thing to the rod bearing to make them damaged on spawn but cant find the impact damage override, can someone please help?

Ive been looking in documentation but cant seem to find what im looking for

[rough frigate]

@gilded schooner Check your messege

[gilded schooner]

not what i wanted

[abstract sable]

is there any way to make this a size that i know? like in a different cad

[frigid dove]

is there a dyno mod

[ebon tangle]

blender has ways to measure models but not in the same way a CAD package can

[abstract sable]

ah...it would be easier to export each part as a stl. can i do that in blender?

[ebon tangle]

if your plan is to transfer from blender to CAD ur kinda SOL

doesnt really work

[abstract sable]

dam

[ebon tangle]

ive tried

CAD handles models 100% differently then blender

[abstract sable]

it'll let me export as stl but i wanna export each part so i dont have to manually cut everything if that makes sense

[ebon tangle]

the STLs it produces arent workable in CAD

cause its vertex based and CAD is all parametric

[abstract sable]

well besides that...can i export each part in blender separately?

[ebon tangle]

well whats ur end goal

[abstract sable]

take this mess and make it into a stl that i can redesign into a rc

[ebon tangle]

ur planning on 3d printing it?

[abstract sable]

i can split it outside of ths but it'll take a while

[abstract sable]

yea

[ebon tangle]

FDM or resin?

the models pretty high detail, might have some issues depending on what scale ur going for

[abstract sable]

yes fdm, i have a x1c. and the scale will depend on the biggerst part which is the main rear frame. probably around 14-16th scale but hard to say

[tulip dome]

Anyone in here familiar with maps and how to make / edit them?

I wanna make some mods to stocks maps and be able to save those mods (adding obstacles/hills/potholes ect in world editor but be able to export that into a new map so I can have that for my beammp server.

I see people on west coast in a server with bumps and holes but I don’t know how they added it for everyone

[eager moss]

anything you change on a map will save to current>levels>mapname

[shy magnet]

had to verify game files recently and it's cleared what mods are activated/deactivated — is there any way to get that back without manually going through every mod?

[eager moss]

i dont think so, i think it just deletes the json file that does it. its called jd.json i think, it sits in your mods folder and controls whats activated and stuff. you may find it in a backup version and be able to put it back into your mods folder?

[shy magnet]

the backups for some reason are missing the entire /mods folder so far as i can tell

unless theyve been put somewhere else but idk where they would be

[eager moss]

ah

yea dont think theres a way then

[shy magnet]

ah well guess its going to be manual mods reenabling and testing for the next 3 weeks then T_T

[abstract sable]

i think i got it lol

[twilit python]

Who loves being bored?

[tulip dome]

So how do I export that for people on a server to see?

I use a external hosting service so I would need the map as a zip with a new name path for it to access

hey guys, i have a license plate mod, but unfortunately it doesnt works.
its an UK license plate mod,
at first i was having an error which the most of the license plate was black, and only the letters' background was yellow
then i fixed it, but the license plate text was the wrong font and too small
i uploaded my own font, as a sprite sheet, but the license plate became like a mirror
i tried updating json, etc but didnt work
eventually I tried to get help from AI, but didnt work at all. the license plate looks like a mirror, doesnt have any textures or texts.

does anybody knows how to fix this error? or what i need to do?

[eager moss]

You’d need to take the file out of levels, and put it in a mod folder

[tulip dome]

so if i go into world editor and make a massive hole in the ground. Then I just need my west coast level file to make it a new map?
I dont think world editor changes save for the next play do they?

[eager moss]

Yes

As long as you save in the world editor before closing the map

[tulip dome]

how do you save in world editor? I didnt even know you could

[eager moss]

Theres a save button

Top left

[tulip dome]

gotcha ill have to check that out.
To make it its own map can I just rename the folder name under levels for it to pull that map over the stock map?

[eager moss]

Not really

This kind of explains it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP21XcQcxVI

Just if you want to copy a map, dont do the part where he removes placed stuff

Is anyone working on any bus mods rn? I never get why there are hardly any buses in Beam.

There is an open source/free to download Alexander ALX400 model available somewhere originally made for OMSI. Someone made an Assetto Corsa port of it but I’m surprised that nobody has yet to make a BeamNG port

[sleek dragon]

anyone down to play with me

[oblique orbit]

Is there any mods for Raytracing or no

[crystal wraith]

Because you don’t just “port” stuff to beam like you do assetto

Busses are such a… niche… “community” nobody really cares for them, no offense

if theres stolen content ill also report it lol

[coral pendant]

Oh I found the button I got it

[tacit halo]

what did the guy even steal from you lol

[coral pendant]

Not from me, from other creators

I only was aware of it because my name appears in the mod title for some reason, I looked into it a while ago and didn’t think much of it but I saw it again and checked and realized there was multiple things taken from other mods without credit

Such as containing the entire gen 7 nascar blender model within it

And given that my name is on the mod repo title description I really don’t want to be associated with that

[tacit halo]

is it from a guy called onemancreations

[coral pendant]

no

[coral pendant]

why is there something with that thats got my name on it?

[tacit halo]

no but that guy has previously had a lot of drama for stealing models and jbeams and hes on the racing/nascar/stock car side of the community so thats why i asked

[coral pendant]

nah idk anything about that

do the forum mods usually pay attention to reports or nah

[tacit halo]

yeah they do within like a day or 2

You could check how the brakes do it on a scintilla

Those are my initial assumptions based off my old work. When parts don’t work, that’s the first few things I check.

it should be automatic

Hello, does anyone know how difficult it would be for me to create a mod that allows for more button inputs for gear positions, (park and drive, neutral and reverse are already in the game) and a separate input for release/engage parking brake and not just hold/toggle?

[languid umbra]

I had a similar issue

[sturdy shuttle]

with the deawon?

[languid umbra]

Oh...I dunno

It was my mod

[sturdy shuttle]

i mean i doubt its spesific to the deawon cause ive had issues with the ibishu crosssport as well

[languid umbra]

I contacted Ashmaker (the youtuber) in PM's and he was nice enought to fix it for me. He makes personal skins for himself.

Have you skinned before?

[sturdy shuttle]

made these so far

[languid umbra]

Then you should know what you are doing.....Sorry
I dunno

[sturdy shuttle]

well if i knew what i was doing with this specific mod then thatd be great

how am i supposed to know what im doing without learning

[languid umbra]

I meant you have experience and you've made skins for vehicles in the past. I had never done it before and Ashmaker helped me out.

[sturdy shuttle]

its been a lot more straight forward with all the other vehicles

[tribal skiff]

when i download the server client from the beam mp site, my windows security thing freaks out uhhh is this stuff even safe

nvm

[hard flume]

Does anyone know how to make reverso characters for skins on vehicles ?

[eager cloak]

How do I find out what mods are causing texture issues?

Like default maps are missing textur

[languid umbra]

Painstakingly disable one mod at a time; reload map every time, too.

[languid umbra]

Also try verifying game cache in Steam

What level mods do you have?

try disabling those first

[eager cloak]

I found one that the game lists as overwriting normal files

[languid umbra]

Huh those are supposed to be not allowed on repo

anything that overwrites common files (to my knowledge anyway. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding)

[eager cloak]

I've fixed that

now a new thing i dunno if its caused by a mod or not

ope i cant post photos

The buttons for Challenges, Campaigns, and Scenarios have the words "Gameplay Filter" on them and I can't enter them

[languid umbra]

I thought it was just me because I just joined 2 hours ago

[languid umbra]

Yeeesh

What did you download? How many mods do you have loaded???

[eager cloak]

gulp

314...

[languid umbra]

My god, dude.

[eager cloak]

i may have gone overboard

[languid umbra]

I've 69, and the most I've installed ever is 139.

[eager cloak]

i kept seeing cool cars.. and i kept wanting more 💔

[eager moss]

Run the game in safemode

If it works fine, the mods or something in ur userfolder are the issue

[glacial forum]

Ts not even that much gng

[languid umbra]

You have to SCROLL through that stuff though. OMG I couldn't. Also I only download mods that are legit and they are good quality and not made by sketch modders.

Although that is a tall order nowadays. Many good works, but it turns out to use stolen assets or completely stolen mod all together.

Take my mod - I use assets from Assetto Corsa, Forza Horizon 4/5 and a few things here and there from some people that were nice to allow me using their stuff. But I am up front about it, give credit, and I never expect payment.

It is a hobby.

[eager moss]

Yea

Ik a few guys who have had well over 1000

[sturdy shuttle]

bros got an archive of the repo 😭

[tacit halo]

ive seen people with 2000 mods

you have a lot (but its nothing compared to others lol)

at most you should have 100

[sturdy shuttle]

genuinely how does someone get to that

[tacit halo]

checking the repo every time they play and installing things that "seem cool" but never using them

[sturdy shuttle]

i do that

but not 2k mods tho 😭

[twilit python]

Is TrackPadUser not in here? Bruh...

Is anyone here an expert with rollcage JBeam?
I know a bunch of basegame cars are just one node that's like 500 LB and a ton of beams. But then the cages lowkey don't deform.

So I'm curious how I can JBeam the cage to be realistic ish. My biggest thing is that under semi normal and normal operation (IE not node grabbing or flying 50000 feet up in the air) that the body won't get damaged enough the cage sticks through

[tight shuttle]

sticks through? is the cage properly attached to the body?

[rich spruce]

any one know of a good 5th or 6th gen Camaro mod?

[twilit python]

Wdym exactly? I still got JBeam it entirely. I only have the 3D model as of rn

[twilit python]

This is how the cage is.

How detailed does the cage have to be with node positions/adding nodes

[tight shuttle]

not very

[twilit python]

Where should I put all the nodes, and how many?

[tight shuttle]

also having fewer nodes/"joints" helps with rigidity

[twilit python]

Fair, yes

[tight shuttle]

the structure would probably be three nodes tall (each level corresponding to the floor, beltline, and roof), and for the roof itself, a node at each of the four corners should suffice

[twilit python]

In a bad enough wreck, every basegame car does this. (This is my moonhawk hobbystock, basegame JBeam)
But I don't want the CVM (car i'm making a cage for) to do this

[twilit python]

So prob 12 nodes? 4 at each height?

[tight shuttle]

maybe another pair in the centre for the floor

[twilit python]

So 3X3X3 cube of nodes basically?

[tight shuttle]

that's a matter of either adding more attachment/support beams to prevent clipping, or adding geometry to the cage tubing there to allow it to bend with the jbeam (preferably both)

[twilit python]

Minus the middle roughly where the right shoulder would be?

[tight shuttle]

nah, one sec while i draw something up in ms paint

[twilit python]

Alrighty.

Appreciate it

If you want a diff pic/angle LMK

[little portal]

You can fix the shading by making the outer edges of the tubes sharp

[twilit python]

That's the issue with every basegame cage JBeam (that I know of off hand/worked with) they're a single node in the center.

[twilit python]

So that's how you do it?

I've been fucking with it. Some parts we're worse, but I couldn't get it perfec.t

[little portal]

Also it is best to not have all the cylinders attached to eachother

[twilit python]

Thank you

[little portal]

Because the tubes stretch oddly in blender

[twilit python]

They're not connected in the model.

Gotcha.

[twilit python]

The cage is built off IRL schematics and plans.

[twilit python]

Ahh, gotcha.

I'll do that. I appreciate it. Should I add a middle node for the dash bar? (right below the windshield)

[tight shuttle]

sure, yeah

[little portal]

Huh odd

So its just shading

[little portal]

Yea that looks fine

[twilit python]

This is the driver top door bar and dash bar

That's how all the joints are.

[little portal]

Sometimes tubes deform when you make them in blender

[twilit python]

Anything for the middle of the door bars length wise?

[twilit python]

Not 100% sure what you mean, but I think I know?

[little portal]

Yea yours look fine geometry wise

Ill recreate what i mean in a bit

[twilit python]

Alrighty

So, mark edges sharp?

[tight shuttle]

not really

[twilit python]

Just gonne remake the bottom 2 driver door bars.

I think the model is fucked with faces

[twilit python]

Alrighty.

Thank you.

[little portal]

You can bevel the edges of the feet too

[twilit python]

Noted. That's kinda smart ngl.

But it also isn't visible through the floor.

Gimme a sec, I'll show ya.

[little portal]

The mesh of the floor is higher than the stands?

[twilit python]

NVM they're barely visible

I thought they we're gonna be hidden but just barely.

Lowkey they just look like 1/4" plate on there

I do have to redo the rear mount now that I see it in beam

(I just mesh slapped it)
I also gotta redo the rear bars cuz the faces fucked up

[dense vale]

Will the quality be better if you use the DDS format for liveries instead of PNG? (PNG in the photo)

[twilit python]

Don't believe so. But @rustic delta might know.

[tight shuttle]

dds is used because it saves on memory (iirc)

[proud solstice]

dds is lighter on load (goes directly through graphics card) vs png (goes through cpu then graphics card)

[dense vale]

I got it, thanks.

[twilit python]

@tight shuttle I got the cage Jbeamed up.

Lowkey just gotta add the body mounts onto it, and I'll be dialed basically.

It's tied to the frame and has had decent deform with node grabber for what forces will realistically get applied prob

[little portal]

Skip the node in the middle of the beams

[twilit python]

Which one?

[twilit python]

Gotcha

[little portal]

And maybe offset the ones at the ground of the rear a bit further back

So it aligns with the edge of the model

[patent jackal]

How can I unsubdivide without doing that

[proven igloo]

I'm not finding the import dea in blender anymore? Anyone now what i did wrong?

[tranquil acorn]

They removed collada support in 5.0

[proven igloo]

Eh okay

how do i import it tho?

[eager moss]

Get an old version or an addon

[tight shuttle]

for the mondials, there's the civetta veloce wheels (vanilla), but they only come in 15x8 and 15x10

[flint sky]

can someone help me out with getting the exhuast to glow with the pgp engine pack V2.81 if anyone can help me out with it id be appreciated i need help with the glow map stuff if anyone can do it for me ill send the mod to you

[little portal]

Blender is free

[rapid cliff]

can i download BeamNG mods from anywhere like BeamNG's Website or ModLand onto Steam Deck?

[eager moss]

Yea, put it in desktop mode and it works as a normal pc. Don’t go near modland tho, just #mods-faq

[twilit python]

I use Blender Steam Beta 3.6 and I have no issues.

IDK why they removed it, but also Blender updates never really seem to do shit that effects anything that I do (basic/semi basic modelling purely for Beam)

[tranquil acorn]

How does blender get money

[flint widget]

What do you need if you want to make your own cars?

[tranquil acorn]

Skills

[flint widget]

That too, but what applications?

[tranquil acorn]

Blender google file explorer and beamng

Notepad++ too

[little portal]

Donations probably

[tranquil acorn]

Maybe

[atomic quiver]

Also through Blender Studio

[distant pendant]

through commericial usages

[fallen quiver]

hey guys, im trying to test out a mod rn and im currently just using one part. i have the dae file, the jbeam file, the png texture file, and the info.json file, im just trying to get it to show up as a static object in game, and it shows up in the mod menu, but i cant find it anywhere in vehicles. im extremely new to this but im just trying to get it to show up, can anyone pls help

and the file structure is mods -> A-10 -> vehicles -> A-10, where those four files are stored. i already zipped them

[patent jackal]

Any guesses?

[patent jackal]

Perhaps

[eager moss]

That would not earn shit

Probably from commercial uses with big companies n stuff

Solid income

[tacit halo]

it does

a lot of people donate
i have

i encourage everyone to donate if they can

[eager moss]

Yea but not enough to fund the program

[tacit halo]

technically all the money blender makes is from donations

since its open source software its just companies giving them money

sometimes tech companies do it in exchange for implementing gfx stuff (basically amd intel and nvidia)

[eager moss]

Hmm

[fossil summit]

so im new to beam, what website should i go to for mods?

[eager moss]

#mods-faq

[fossil summit]

thanks!

i play on a potato of a laptop so im struggling along untill i get a new pc lol

i wanna find a new gen S-10 mod so ill have to poke around

[eager moss]

Yea probably

[reef fractal]

Does anyone have an understanding of how Garage-to-Garage filters vehicles in the 0.38 update? Previously, I was able to edit the contructor.lua file to make my own filters, however, that doesn't seem to apply anymore. When reviewing the changes in 0.38, I've noticed they added a vehicle filter function, which includes a whitelist and blacklist of configs. When trying to replicate the same format of their whitelist structure, I can't seem to get it to work with custom filters. When checking how the new garage-to-garage is setup in the Mission Editor, I see preexisting filter options, but it doesn't look like there is a way to make custom ones. This is what I'm trying to figure out. The context is that I have my own vehicle configs saved with corresponding info.json files. What I'm trying to do is filter by Author (myself) and by custom fields that I've included in my info.json vehicle config files (for example, Model Family).

Please @mention me in your reply so that I can see a notification. If this isn’t the right spot to post this, please let me know where I should post this question instead.

how to load an gelua extension automatically after a map has loaded or after youve enabled the mod (while you are in a map) and then unload itself after unloading a map or disabling the mod

[crimson cape]

Hello 👋
I'm looking for a modder with skills in Lua, Jbeam, 3D moddeling, etc.. to create a mod that I have in my mind, it's a little mod but maybe a Lil bit complex (the mod will be yours of course), no question of money I juste want it to be in the repo 😉

DM me in my discord if you're interested in and have skills 😉 I'll give more info about it🔥

[ebon tangle]

Nobody is gonna anything for free lmao

[crimson cape]

What about all mods in the repo? I'm just giving the idea... Something we could use in career also

[ebon tangle]

Oh sorry, to be more clear, nobody is doing anything for you for free

[stark lark]

What is this mod ? I love the model

[crimson cape]

I'm not asking for a mod just for myself, but a mod that will be available in the repo

[ebon tangle]

But you are asking for it

[silk tide]

its my own, thanks 🙂

[toxic widget]

[silk tide]

Yeah

[crimson cape]

What ? To be clear, I'm looking for an experienced modder open to suggestions for creating a new mode for everybody.

[stark lark]

Yeah figured but nice modeling ! 😁

[ebon tangle]

No experienced modder is open to suggestions without some financial incentive

[crimson cape]

That's not true sorry

[ebon tangle]

😭

I dont see any experienced modders lining up to help you rn twin

[stark lark]

It the if he want to

[ebon tangle]

It the if he want tho 💔

What does this even mean

[stark lark]

Well he won't mods for you if he doesn't want to

[stark lark]

I miss spell (to)

[silk tide]

Yeah cant really justify putting it out for free with the amount of resources and time i put into it

[stark lark]

I get it but at what cost ?

I'm going to buy it when it out (idk how I will know )

[silk tide]

itll be on my patreon, which is $5 for all my stuff

[stark lark]

Alr

[stark lark]

You are really good Continue what are you doing !!!! 🤟😎👍

[silk tide]

thanks!

[tacit halo]

that is true

modders have their own ideas that they do before they take some random guys suggestion

[crimson cape]

We shouldn't generalize I think

[tacit halo]

yeah im not generalizing

im a modder and all of the people ive seen never take suggestions for mods

[sly kindle]

how come when i shift my car the camera moves

h shifter dose not work properly in the game

[lean mountain]

Anyone in here know how to fix my livery not showing up (files are correct its something to do with the model im thinking)

[crimson cape]

That's sad because my idea is not big and could be done quickly for an experienced modder.. Anyway

[tacit halo]

you can still say it its just gonna be ignored

[crimson cape]

Yes of course but it's useless.. Snif snif

It's a joke 😉

[livid forge]

I have jbeam almost done. Got everything else working. finishing Jbeam and then adding thrusters

[tacit halo]

king of comedy

just say your suggestion lmao

[ebon tangle]

yapped for hours and never even said what he wanted

[crimson cape]

This is a test bench that mounts on the car in place of the wheels (directly under the front or rear hub menu). It allows you to test your car (top speed, gearbox ratio, etc.) by simulating road grip. No more taking the car out of the garage every time you change settings. Most importantly, it can be used in career mode because the bench is attached to the car. This is not a prop.

[crimson cape]

I'll see 🤷

[tacit halo]

[stoic pulsar]

Hi, the Rear view Mirror is way off that I cant get it right from in game adjustments either on the BMW e36 mod

[crimson cape]

I know it

[tacit halo]

also how tf is a machine meant to get your gearbox ratio

a machine like that im pretty sure cant exist, top speed also couldnt be calculated

you could get the theoredical top speed but your car might not be able to reach that so its a usless value

[crimson cape]

It's a paid mod with a real power analysis function. I not sure that he use wheel hub but anyway

[tacit halo]

theres no other way to conenct it so it has to use wheel hubs

[crimson cape]

Understand that the goal isn't to analyze the car's power output as in real life or this mod, but simply to test the car in each gear, see its top speed, and check for any potential torque issues, etc

[tacit halo]

yeah uh you cant do that in beamng
the most you are gonna get is a basic hub dyno

[empty notch]

what is that one map on like a mountain with roads and if you fall down there is water and yeah your pretty high up?

[crimson cape]

I just want it to reproduce road grip finally

[tacit halo]

yeah uh i dont think theres a way to do that without a lot of custom code

which barely anyone knows how to do that

[crimson cape]

Not sure about that, DSC made it as we can see, but all the data analysis is not necessary

[empty notch]

?

[tacit halo]

drowsysam was a developer and has been modding this game for 10 years

[empty notch]

anyone knows?

[crimson cape]

For example, MEO have created a drag tire with adjustable grip, so I thought that in a way it was possible to do something

[tacit halo]

but thats just adjusting a value that already exists

[crimson cape]

OK I see. I imagine the difficulty lies in simulating the mechanical resistance on the rotating part of the dyno, I understand.

[tacit halo]

and also the maths required to generate useful data out of it, making it stable so it doesnt explode, and a bunch of other stuff

[shadow forge]

Is there a mod simmilar to the music player mod for asseto where i can add music and it will play diffrent songs for diffrent occasions

[crimson cape]

Which useful data are you thinking about? Used by the "game" to make the mod run properly?

[tacit halo]

no
the data about the gears and all that you said

well apart from being impossible to gather gear ratios*

[crimson cape]

Maybe I didn't express myself clearly 😉

Imagine you're building a dragster, and you'd like to know if the gear ratios you've set are optimal. All you have to do is install the dyno, get in your car, start the engine, and accelerate while shifting through the gears to see if the speed increases as it should, or if your ratios are too long, etc. So no data is needed, just to see the behavior.

[tacit halo]

wheel and tire size still is important, its a big difference

[crimson cape]

Yeees of course, For this point, I envisioned a slider in the tuning menu.

[tacit halo]

That complicates things a loooooooot

[crimson cape]

In any case, I agree with you this mode is quick to model but complex to code.

[green wolf]

could somebody link me the collada plugin for blender?

god i've been gone a while, i have some work to do

[tacit halo]

It's complex in general

So yeah don't expect anyone to do it for you

Learn to do it yourself or no luck

Alternatively just look up the formula to calculate this

Since if you know the redline, gear ratios, diff ratios and tire size you can calculate it

[crimson cape]

What is the point of calculating it?

[tacit halo]

The mod is not going to exist

Calculating it is way faster

Even if I wanted to do this I would just calculate it

[crimson cape]

The goal is to have fun, not to do math. But OK I'll keep this idea and who knows...

[tacit halo]

Revving a stationary car isn't very fun

[crimson cape]

It's useful for those who build cars.. It's not just revving.. Never mind

[ebon tangle]

?????

this is the shit u were begging for?

😭

u can test ratios by doing a pull

[crimson cape]

What's your problem??

You've been aggressive for no reason from the start, if you're frustrated with life, then stay in your bed.

[brave ember]

[eager moss]

He wasn’t. He told you the truth. No good modder makes someone a mod they want for free. Few will even will for money. Plenty of people come on here begging for mods to be made for them everyday. Expect the answer you received

[crimson cape]

The issue isn't about being right or wrong, it's simply a matter of disrespect he's shown since my first message. But this isn't a court of law, so let's move on 😉

[eager moss]

Wasn’t really disrespectful

Bit of a weird-ish question, does anyone have tips on where to find reference material for modelling?
Like technical drawings of cars or buses, that type of stuff.

[queen cave]

mhm

[tacit halo]

most people eitehr use the crappy blueprints that some websites have or use photomatching / 3d scans for more accuracy

[lofty wasp]

Crappy blueprints it is then

Thinking about trying my hands in modelling again, maybe make a mod out of it
I'll see how it turns out

Either way, before I even touch blender I need to work more on the conceptual side of things
Get some drawings done

[sturdy shuttle]

ive already asked this here before but there isnt really a different place, does anyone know how to make liveries for the daewon bus mod? ive made a bunch of skins before but i cant even get it to show up for that mod for some reason

[spring pawn]

I'm trying to manually calculate engine torque output with a spreadsheet and data from the engine jbeam files, but my torque values in the spreadsheet vs in game are off by quite a bit. For example, the Miramar 1.6L SOHC with a two barrel carb and the race 5 speed manual should, by my calculations, be putting out about 155Nm of torque at 3500rpm, but in game I'm seeing 94Nm. And according to the engine torque in the jbeam, it should be a fairly smooth arc from 0rpm to 9000rpm, but in game, there's a sharp drop at 6000rpm (engine starts taking damage at 7500rpm).
TL;DR: What data do I need to properly calculate torque output at the flywheel within a few Nm of perfect accuracy?

[little portal]

thats because of the torque losses of the drivetrain etc

Hey everyone. Could someone write a small script that automatically sets the game time to 5:30 PM?

[unique zealot]

you can just set it in the weather menu

[whole spindle]

I know, but I have to do it every time

[unique zealot]

if you want to automate it, then you'll have to make it yourself, no one is going to do it for you

[whole spindle]

I don't know Lua. I tried editing someone else's mod, but it didn't work, so I came here

[unique zealot]

then learn

lua is pretty easy to understand too

[whole spindle]

It's not worth it for just one mod. But anyway, thanks for the answer

Fym label

U can name em whatever u want but its gonna make ur life harder

[ebon tangle]

Best to use a sensible name

Hmm

[ebon tangle]

What are you even asking abt now

[glad tree]

I mean to say how can I fix the car

[glad tree]

Then what should I start with

Modifying existing models and jbeams from vanilla cars

[twilit python]

Does anyone know why wheels don't collide with other wheels?
Working on my CVM mod and just did all the bumpers.
It's pretty important that the wheels do collide with each other IMO, lol.

I'm using basegame suspension JBeam minus nodeoffsets, rear axle link position adjustments and tuning stuff.

@thorn jewel this guy has been replying to anyone asking questions about mods to dm him, and just by looking at his profile I'm very sure he's a commission scammer

[unique zealot]

denied it immediately, ive turned off dms from this server for this reason

[patent jackal]

What is wrong??

[tranquil acorn]

Common mistake, the texture should be set at layer 1.

[tranquil acorn]

Save the material

Or switch to pbr

Idk if that doesnt work

Make sure the material name is right

[patent jackal]

All of that has been done no signs of happiness

[tranquil acorn]

Idk then

Hmm alr thanks anyway

[last ruin]

there is a dolly trailer in game, but that sliding type specifically, no. atleast, none that ima aware of.
but there are multiple trailer mods for transporting cars and whatnot though

[eager moss]

I think so, itd just require a bit of jbeam work

[sturdy shuttle]

does anyone know how to skin the widebody parts on the k series?

[tight shuttle]

they might be mapped to a separate material, take a look at how the bx skins do it

[sturdy shuttle]

surely theyre a different file but i just cannot find where for some reason

idk if im just dumb but

[tight shuttle]

skin material json

[sturdy shuttle]

i have that

mightve deleted something i shouldnt have?

[tight shuttle]

with the bx specifically, it's an auxiliary "aftermarket" material that you gotta reskin in addition to the main material

so it's a matter of finding out what the equivalent material is on the k

[sturdy shuttle]

theres these but

i dont see a skin version anywhere

the default race skin doesnt leave them out i dont think

[tight shuttle]

i'd suggest importing the dae into blender to find the name of the material slot

on the widebody parts specifically, that is

[sturdy shuttle]

i might just have to give up on making the skin then

i have maya on my pc since i got a license for college but i assume that wont work

i figured it out it was just etkc_extra.skin

im lowk stupid but thanks for the help stig

[bronze python]

how on earth…

it’s hardly demanding

[crisp walrus]

I want to have hidden variable which is equal to the result of specific formula instead of "fixed" value

[tight shuttle]

sorry, i meant use case

like, what numbers do you want to put in, and what number do you want to receive as an output?

[crisp walrus]

Example of use case:
I'm doing "result-based" adjustment settings for springs and dampers. Player puts in desired ride frequencies and damping rates in tuning menu and simple formula calculates proper spring stiffness and damping ratios.

The issue is that right now I don't have a way to reference spring rate, which means I had to copy formula for ride frequency in every place I needed that value instead of being able to just reference it. It isn't something that's impossible to work around, but as I'm adding more details, formulas are becoming quite overwhelming in their size and barely readable. When I tried adding variable with "min, max, default" set to formula instead of value, it was giving me pretty much random outputs.

I'd normally just do it in separate lua files but sadly I'm hopeless when it comes to any learning proper coding

[tight shuttle]

uh... i mean, if the input takes the form of a tuning variable, you could plug it into an expression, kinda like i did here for the rear camber

and for hidden variables, you could reference the sunburst factory na ecu, which has a non-tuneable wastegate setting in case a turbo is installed

if you'd prefer some variables to be affected by jbeam part choices across the whole vehicle, components are generally the way to go

[silver nebula]

Trying to figure out the vehicle test stuff, as described on the BeamNG website.

• Do I put the whole zip someplace, or the files inside of it someplace?
• Where is said place that the file (or folder) go to?

[broken stratus]

Just place both files in the main BeamNG folder

[silver nebula]

Where all of this is (and more)? Just want to make sure.

[broken stratus]

Place them there

[silver nebula]

Sweet. Was skeptical on that at first, so thank you 🙂

[broken stratus]

Remember, you have to edit work.json so the game knows which car and config will be tested

[silver nebula]

Yep, will do that.

[silver nebula]

I assume once the json is edited, I just run the batch file with the game open (and config spawned possibly)?

[broken stratus]

No, game shouldn't be open. The bat will do that for you

[silver nebula]

Oh neat.

[silver nebula]

This is, the coolest thing I have seen in months. It's just, driving my vehicle 😄
Mind blown.

[broken stratus]

Yep

Also, once the info.json file is generated in current/vehicles, you can add the missing information like body style, config type, name and description, population, value, model year/years, default paint...

[silver nebula]

Oh very cool, was wondering where that went. Test successful and file found.

[tacit halo]

im not sure thats just an update thing, unless you run a lot of traffic, your computer should be fine unless its like a r5 1600

try updating your graphic drivers and maybe verifying your game files and playing with no mods/safe mode

your game shouldnt run that bad

i ran beamng at mid/high with a rx5500xt and thats about the level of performance of a 1060 6gb / 1660 super

i have a r7 5800x but that was extremly bottlenecked and had like 20% usage
