[eager moss]

Just don’t get ahead of yourself i mean, its why half the Beamng community hates the idea of modding

[warm steppe]

Are there people offering paid car mods with real brands? If so, how does it sit copyright-wise?

[tacit halo]

all of them are unlicenced, they are technically ilegal but brands dont care enough to sue them out of existance

most of them also use 3d models from other AAA car games that dont care enough to sue them too

[warm steppe]

that's the case with free mods though right?

because i don't really see any paid mods in #1102973298222051358 with real brands

[charred marten]

That's probably a server deal

[fallow smelt]

i mean i love modding and im new to it tell that guy how to make configs first thats how i learned my first thing making the json and the png with the thumbnail genratetr

[fast condor]

wym by great

[charred marten]

Better than good? IDK what they mean either 🤣

[hushed shard]

Does someone know a good Dodge Charger Mod? I need it, my Charger is kinda chargerless

[eager moss]

@glass hamlet has an amazing one in progress

[lyric marsh]

does anyone know why i cant change a mod thumbnail or edit 1 line of a mods lua without the mod completely breaking and not showing up in the vehicle selector?

[cinder geyser]

I am working on a skin, and following the guide on the website I am wondering if the folder structure is accurate, or at least the mod folder structure is correct but im guessing where the mod goes has not been updated?

[potent wharf]

Working on a skin for the first time and using a guide but it came out with no texture and this in the logs

[rough stirrup]

You prolly have a problem of path

[fringe delta]

how come the roads on maps I download, when I put ai vehicles on them and set them to like chase for example, I can debug their path.

but when I make a road (road spline and decal road for pathing set to 1 drivability)

I can't see their pathing in debug mode?

I can also spawn traffic on the road I make too, but they don't really follow the lines I laid out.

Does anyone have any ideas?
I don't understand what I am doing different to map makers.

[livid forge]

Do you guys remember the ovo 11 mod

[tight shuttle]

very vaguely

[livid forge]

lol i fixed it its nutz

Its real fast too

Will release soon (most likely)

[livid forge]

Well the thumbnail one I think it has to do with how it loads the image in the info folder and for lua it depends on what you changed cuz lua is touchy

[lyric marsh]

yeah someone helped me out with the thumbnail so thats fine. Im wondering if anyone has any experience with beamng engines however as i want to change the engine in a beamng mod since i really hate the engine in it. The physical stuff and jbeam can stay the same its just the sounds and transmission and stuff

[livid forge]

okay i never played with engines before but the only video I could find for engine modding was here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXEc1VQPdP0&msockid=c6171b72e68011f09c1a7117953dbc59 I know it only explains how to get more power out of it which is probably not what you are looking for but its all I could find.

[amber geyser]

anyone know a k5 blazer mod?

[livid forge]

nah dude sorry

[fringe delta]

how would i make a script that breaks a random part on a vehcile at a random period of time?>
i assume it would be a lua script

[lyric marsh]

I personally have no clue but there are similar mods on the repo, you can install those and look through their scripts to see how theyve done it

[lyric marsh]

thanks! this has actually helped me alot and ive managed to make 2 new engine configs with custom torque curves, sounds, etc.

Driving a manual irl is WAYY harder than driving a manual in game with a shorter and a wheel even with the assists off
Any way I can make it better? Maybe some more settings or mods

[livid forge]

Hey Hey!! No problem!

[lyric marsh]

what do you find easier about it in beamng than irl?

also,
does anyone know how to edit a mods file to update the mirrors to dynamic mirrors instead of skybox based?

[crystal wraith]

Well irl you have a subconscious feeling of trying to not destroy the clutch and gearbox, and it’s more tense

In beamNG you don’t need to worry cus it won’t cost you money to break, and you aren’t as immersed

[lyric marsh]

in beamng career mode it costs money to repair cars and shifting badly can damage your car

so i guess thats something

[ebon tangle]

its never gonna feel the same cause u have no clutch or shifter feedback

there are no mods that change such low-level behaviour

[crystal wraith]

Not everyone plays career mode.. lol

[lyric marsh]

i know, and i dont. but other than that how are you meant to feel like you shouldnt mess up a car?

[crystal wraith]

You asked why people think it’s more difficult and I told you why, so what are you saying bro

[tacit halo]

theres a fix to this

very good one

add michaelTransactions to beamng

you break your car you gotta pay to fix it

20 free repairs per day subscription, 9,99€ a month

[crystal wraith]

Still no trans or clutch feedback

And I’m talking about in general not just career mode

[tacit halo]

yes in general
micro transactions and subscriptions to play beamng

engine blew up? pay 0.99€ to fix

money shifted? +0.50€ on top of engine fix for the gearbox fix package

all of the solutions to your problems are always fixable with subscription services and micro transactions everywhere!

[dark blaze]

Anyone know how i could extend the distance a siren is heard, the stock siren is heard from like many 100 meters away, while this one is just about 100 meters away.

[gentle socket]

anyone have good irl truck mods?

[gentle socket]

just added you back

[sacred arch]

I made a feature where if you’re pushing more hp than your selected fuel type can handle it will misfire and fuel cut . This will be interesting to implement

[compact slate]

I have one. (from my experiences with it)

If you don’t already have it

[graceful folio]

anyone knows a good mercedes sprinter mod?

[gentle socket]

what truck do you have

[silent pendant]

DFA

[lunar lance]

What did this dude send you in DMs? Pretty sure this is a scam bot

[gentle socket]

he didnt send me anything he just said he could ifnd some for me but i dont really trust it

[lunar lance]

Theres been this trend of dudes with very similar “about me” sections just replying to anyone asking for mods, asking for their DMs and never saying another word

[gentle socket]

interesting

[gentle socket]

thats all hes ever said

[lunar lance]

I suspect it has to be some sort of account hacking scheme, theyre always pretty old accounts but with very recent join dates

[gentle socket]

alr

[lunar lance]

You can get hacked just by clicking a link these days, and links can be spoofed to look legit, so id recommend never clicking one unless its verify-able

[gentle socket]

still looking for more trucks tho

[lunar lance]

Pro typing skills today lol

[gentle socket]

real

[tacit halo]

@thorn jewel another one

[tacit halo]

no they are commision scammers

they used to just randomly add people but now they also reply to people asking questions about mods

they nearly always have a username with capital first name and last name "Firstname Lastname", have emojis "Firstname Lastname 💯 ", or have the word "dev" in them

their bios :

say they are a mod developer
mention a few of these games :
fiveM / gta5
arma reforger
dayz
asseto
ETS / ATS
beamng

and have random emojis

[thorn jewel]

yes, and if you have anything to share, why hide it 🙂

[tacit halo]

oh yeah they always want to go to dms ^^

they always send invite links to "mod developer" discords

[silent pendant]

hes the one who posted the warning in the first place too

[tacit halo]

they always have like 20 gazillion channelsa and post stolen screenshots (thats pictures of my joke mod)

[tacit halo]

yeah i know

since i have the verified content creator i get a lot of them

ive probably sent to like blijo and akimbo beta like 10 or 15

[sacred arch]

100% scammers

[quick fog]

Is there any mod with a trailer like the 40ft bumper trailer that gives it like 2 front wheels because when i try to tow 25.000kgs behind my volvo v60 the front of the trailer scrapes on the ground

[unborn flax]

how can i make my custum config look like a normal car info

like how fast it is and stuff

[hushed monolith]

pretty sure u do that type of stuff in the .json files

[unborn flax]

oh okay

[unborn flax]

but idk if the numbers are legit XD

bc i ask AI for help

[pale mural]

anyone know how to use the automated testing map

for performance stats

[broken stratus]

Check the last section of this:
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/tutorials/configs/

[unborn flax]

🤔

[unborn flax]

well is all fixed only thing is the light bar and siren idk how to fix it tbh

[wintry mortar]

You would need to set the electrics value for lightbar to 1 or 2
Lightbar = 0 | No lights no sirens
Lightbar = 1 | Lights
Lightbar = 2 | Lights and Sirens

It is possible to get independent control of the lights and sirens but I don't know how to do that.

[unique zealot]

custom electric values for the lightbar? 3 and 4?

idk much either but you can probably make a lua script to do that

[tall zenith]

No idea if this is the place to ask, but I'm having some issues with RLS Career Mode. The 'Phone' option doesn't turn up for me at all in the control bindings as I'm sure it exists. I've got the latest version and all

[wraith fog]

I'm trying to make a custom ui app for beamng. I followed a tutorial saying to put the files in the userfolder/ui folder but I didn't have an ui folder by default, and after creating it and launching the game, it gets deleted.

[signal girder]

NGL, I do like that, there's maybe better ways but as long as it works

[...]\BeamNG.user\current\mods\unpacked\mySuperCoolMod\ui\modules\apps\myTacho\

[signal girder]

I'm having a trouble with UI as well, how do I know the type of gearbox of my current car?

In the powertrainDeviceData stream there's the gearbox but is simply called "Gearbox"

In the engineInfo stream, there's that one string that always returns "manual" but I'm not sure it's related

In the electrics stream, there's no useful way to tell which gearbox there's in the car (at least, none that I could find)

I finally found it, nvm
It's always right after when you ask a question to the grown ups that you find the answer XD

[golden patio]

I've got a question. Are you allowed to have real life? Engine sounds on the repo with their real life. Engine names.

[outer heart]

Whether you are allowed to have real life depends on whether you are willing to touch grass (walk outside)

[outer heart]

but if you mean engine sounds with irl engine part names it seems to be allowed

Dream Engine Pack lite on the repo has real engine names

but there was another engine sound pack which was taken down sadly but idk why

[crystal wraith]

If you’d look there’s already plenty

[neat portal]

Could anyone recommend me a good drag wheel mod?

Trying to make a drag pack but the Vulcan isn’t cutting it

[neat portal]

What’s repo

[golden patio]

Yeah, the reason why I was asking is I've got American truck simulator engines sounds, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to upload it to the repo. And they're J. Beam file is named the exact name, but the model isn't actually the real model. It's just using the T-Series model.

[unique zealot]

[proud solstice]

out of all those I only know nix and law

[eager moss]

All do offroading stuff, except for law. Nix and Bandito are kinda in the group with RCC. GXL and BK are Australian, and IAmTheLaw does euro stuff

[proud solstice]

oh and bandito but I've never talked with him

GXL and BK do Australian 4wds

The Aussie beam community is so surprising niche

I'm not upside down so naturally I'm not into it

Its full of wankers under the age of 16 and then a few nice people

Kinda just like the beamng modding scene generally. But a lot more swearing

does anyone have armoured vehicle packs/mod links i was only able to find this video online :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDEpuzYvYk

[hybrid dune]

its legit in the description

[grizzled flower]

accept these i meant to say if any other youhave

XD

[hybrid dune]

I see ok, sadly not off the top of my head

[grizzled flower]

the thing is im not able to find any online either, i want to make a custom sim using one of the models but i want more options

[old plinth]

What mods should I have if I what to customize vehicles

[wicked ocean]

that really depends on what you're looking for

[old plinth]

Tires, suspension, engine swaps, aspiration , body kits

[wicked ocean]

if you head over to the widefap server, there's lots of wheels and tyre mods available in there that aren't on the repo. There are lots of wheel packs on the repo however all with various tyres as well. For engine swaps, they tend to be more specific rather than in packs, if you search engine swap on the repo, you should find some good stuff. That said, the CRD Pack has lots of nutsy engine and aspiration tuning options to build wild shit. For bodykits, again you're looking at specific mods for specific vehicles, though mods like KJLP have quite a few different styling kits for a number of different vehicles

[sly warren]

guys where can i find the v6 for the pessima in the game files? searched everywhere cant find it

[silent pendant]

Going into widefap is a point of no return people in that server can’t make good builds

Hello i need help with my Wheels i have in blender but i want to get it in to beam can someone kind help me i beg you guys

[wicked ocean]

if you have them as a .dae then you should be able to copy the jbeam from some other wheel, changing the mesh name

[agile shoal]

Can You come pm

[wicked ocean]

no

[slow veldt]

Hello gentlemen, I just bought beam.ng drive, any good mods or cars you can reccomend for controller (I'm getting a sim setup in about 8 months, so don't make fun of me for being poor... yet)

(I can use outside mods and the repository, so mods from any where are cool)

[wicked ocean]

brother vehicles take months, years in some cases, to build for BeamNG. Its very unlikely for anyone to pick this up

[wicked ocean]

honestly, the repo is your best bet anyway. Forums also has a lot of very good stuff that can't go on the repo, but almost everything you'll want thats decent quality will be on the BeamNG site somehere

yeah no-one is

[crystal wraith]

Or just make the skins yourself? They’re literally 2 lines??

[midnight wigeon]

Idk how..?

[crystal wraith]

Learn?

[wicked ocean]

theres a full tutorial on the beamng website

[midnight wigeon]

Id rather pay then bother icl

[crystal wraith]

I never knew ANYTHING but then I learnt, you can too buddy

[wicked ocean]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/vehicle_paints/

[crystal wraith]

Skins is literally editing the image for a vehicle skin

It’s not hard

[midnight wigeon]

If i wanted to learn i wouldn't ask someone to make something 🫠

[wicked ocean]

Well what you're asking isn't likely to happen

[crystal wraith]

Imagine learning then you can make all the cool skins you’d ever possibly want

[midnight wigeon]

You can put your own skins on any car??
Like even cars that arent from beam officialy?

[crystal wraith]

If they support skins then yes 1000%

[wicked ocean]

see the documentation I linked

[slow veldt]

Thanks bro, I'm trying to get into simracing, is realistic tire wear and fuel consumption already in, or is that a mod? I also need to know if drafting, multiplayer and actual, realistic tracks are in the game

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @wicked ocean (current: #401 - 12)

[midnight wigeon]

Ts seems hard

[wicked ocean]

You're welcome; Fuel consumption is there, tire wear is not. Drafting I don't believe so, multiplayer is using third party tools, and there are some realistic tracks in the vanilla maps, but there are a lot of assetto corsa ports available on the forums

all that said, BeamNG is not a sim racer, there are better titles out there if that's what you're looking for. However Beam is fantastic for everything else, rallying, offroading, time attack etc... just building cool stuff and giving it hell on a circuit

personally I like seeing how fast I can get a well built crap-can around the nurburgring

[slow veldt]

OK, thanks for the help. Honestly you're the most help I've gotten in a long time

[slow veldt]

LOL, first track i was thinking of

[midnight wigeon]

I love pushing french shitboxes to their limits like the Peugeot 206

[signal girder]

Like that guy pushing sub 10 minutes with an Citroën AX 1.4d

[tacit halo]

most high quality mods, especially ones from the official beamng forums, support skins in one way or another, you can make a lot of skins, even ones that glow!

a while ago i made this "line art" skin for the sunburst

[rich ridge]

Do you guys know if there's a way or not to get specific nodes coordinates live going through a few formulas so that an ui app be able to give motion ratios of a suspension, not fully automatic just needs to get the nodes names written down in it

[dense finch]

depending on what I name my jbeam file beamng will either load it properly or it will say "unable to read file: <filename>"
any ideas why this is?

[tacit halo]

What are you putting in the name

[eager moss]

Well expect to be scammed

[eager moss]

That’s because it is

[dense finch]

it seems like no matter what it is the game won't accept it until I restart, but after restarting it works just fine

I've chalked it up to experimental support for the native linux build and decided not to let it bother me since it's really not that big of a deal

[midnight wigeon]

That looks awesome

[midnight wigeon]

Some dude quoted me 150$ for a mod

[eager moss]

likely some scammer, very few legit good modders who do commissions

How much of a market is there for police stuff here?

[ember wagon]

What was the mod?

[molten lava]

I recently developed and launched an android based controller app (Steer beamNG) for BeamNG. It stimulates the steering hardware and is 💯 free for everyone.

To access the app search "Steer BeamNG" on Modland.

Reason to develop this mod: Lack of support for mobile app by BeamNG devs 🥲

Looking for suggestions and feedback for improvement and to make it more immersive for everyone 😊

[midnight wigeon]

No its an ear health app exclusively for headphones

[tacit halo]

Modland? Why would you use this

Use the official beamng forums, modland is the place where horrible mods go to die lol

You can make a forum post, you don't need to submit it to the repository

[molten lava]

As a backup! I did submitted the app before submitting to Modland on the beamng forum, but it still under review on beamng forum.

I will try make a post about it, as I didn't knew about it earlier

Thanks for letting me know

[tacit halo]

i suggest you stay far away from modland, its mostly made up of low quality mods and stolen or leaked mods, which is not ideal lol

[molten lava]

Hmmm, I had kept the downloadables on GitHub repository to make sure everyone can access the original and the most updated version of the Steer BeamNG

[tacit halo]

just as a general recomendation

mod aprovals on the game repository are only on weekdays, but forum posts dont require prior aproval

[tacit halo]

i would create a thread in one of these 2 sections

[unique zealot]

i said this in #mods-discussion already, some people don't appreciate it

[idle laurel]

Theres only like 10 creators that I respect there and that's it

[molten lava]

I didn't know that about Modland 🫢

[idle laurel]

Modland itself is bombarded with drama of some sort that those 10 year olds make

[molten lava]

Will try to pitch the app through Official forums from now on 👍

[tacit halo]

@molten lava you can also make a post in #1102973298222051358
read the #mods-faq , it says how to gain access there

[molten lava]

@tacit halo Grateful for the insights ❤️

[idle laurel]

I wish for more IRL cars, but not those ones that have movable parts, I want Fastlane type of quality. Optimized, not too flashy

[tacit halo]

fastlane isnt the best either, if you want the best (as in 100% hand made, vanilla dev quality in terms of content and optimizations) id go with LJ74

[unique zealot]

pins in #mods-discussion for a list

[idle laurel]

Half of them are outdated sadly

Or broken

I know how good Andronisk mods are, really enjoyed his Q8 and A6

[molten lava]

Steer Beamng itself is already showing very good progress throughout the globe, i have analytics showcasing users using the app for an average of 30 mins daily.

[idle laurel]

But I'm pissed that 80% of people will just ignore lore cars fully

[unique zealot]

the reasons are so dumb at times

[idle laurel]

Lore cars are probably the best cars that have the best optimization in the game

Comparing an IRL mods optimization to lore mods/cars they just don't stand a chance, and the Jbeams

[tacit halo]

for mainly a reason
they need to be designed and modeled, and cant use ripped models, or even if they are a 1:1 copy, if they want to be on the repository, they cant use ripped models, so that turns off most of the modders that do that

[unique zealot]

they have the freedom of being a custom design

[idle laurel]

That's what I like

I am looking for someone with prior knowledge/experience with beamng mods Cause i am terrible in it 🥲. As i am currently trying to fetch vehicles related data especially the active vehicle data in the beamng, if by any means we can transmit the info related to gears, steering angle, indicators, hazards, headlights, parking brake/handbrake e.t.c through a dedicated port. Then we can listen, feed and sync the data with the "Steer beamNG app", this will make it a complete 2-way communication, it will make the "Steer beamNG" much much more immersive and synced with the game, which currently isn't possible as it's just one way input right now (app > windows helper app > vjoy > game) anyone?

[uneven bear]

does anybody have a copy of this (heolia vendome) ?

So I’m newish to modding and have also never used blender. Is it possible to take modeled parts from one mod and put them on something else? For example, I’m trying to take these show truck rear fenders off this semi mod and put them on the tseries, but I don’t know where I would start

Hi

does anyone have a modpack

with cars

for me to download

pls

would be cool with real cars

can someone dm me it pls

i dont want to use simpleng cuz of no collision

and i couldnt find anything

[unique zealot]

#mods-discussion pins has a list of real cars

[tribal dove]

i mean one pack with cars no 200 diffrent links

[unique zealot]

yeah theres really not that many modpacks if at all

also #modding-general is about making mods, not to download them

[tribal dove]

why?

well add an download-mods channel bruh

[unique zealot]

thats what #mods-discussion is

[tribal dove]

aint it for helping modders

[unique zealot]

no

thats what this channel is

[tribal dove]

i see that theres no downloadable mods in there

its js everyone showing their work

[unique zealot]

theres no need for a dedicated channel to download mods when the forums and the repo already exists

theres only 1 other modpack anyway https://www.beamng.com/threads/agents-simplified-realistic-traffic-mod-eu-jp-released.102034/

or the closest thing to a modpack

[tribal dove]

ik what is it

but those are shit and they have no configs

[unique zealot]

because its a traffic pack, theyre not supposed to be driven

[rotund ginkgo]

If you can dont help me dont reply

[tribal dove]

ok

[tribal dove]

im sorry

[weary tangle]

if you never made a 3d model before, the easiest thing would be to find a model and download it.
As oil rig can be a bit complicated, especially for the textures. But you could simple it down and use the material "lod_verticol" and just paint with vertex pain for the materials.

The default recommendation is blender for 3d model, there might be some other free ones that are more simple to use.

[tribal dove]

real cars

maybe high quality

i have good pc so as much as possible

mods i mean

[neon crater]

There’s not many high quality irl car mod packs for beam

[tribal dove]

yeah ik thats bad

so maybe someone already have some cool cars downloaded

and can send me

[graceful folio]

does anyone know a good [insert country or city or county name] roads map?

[tacit halo]

If it happens only with that car, well that's just a bad mod, in that case don't use it

i dont know what mod it is but some mod is making like that

[quartz swan]

Where are good mods?

[latent sleet]

im tyrna install the career overhaul mod but its just not working, i put the mod into the correct folder and then it just says invalid zip file and doesnt load ingame

[eager moss]

OIIIIII WHAT YOU DOING SAYING THERE AINT MANT GOOD MOD MAPS IN GENERAL EXCUSE ME!!!!

Fr tho theres not many good cruising maps

Still offended tho*

[quartz swan]

Lol

[quartz swan]

Do you make your own car models or do you remodel the in-game cars?

[eager moss]

What

[quartz swan]

Do you do cars?

[eager moss]

No, thats leaking, and its illegal under copyright because its sharing of someones ip. Don’t ask that shit

[eager moss]

Kind of

Ive done one shitty meshlap which i never finished the jbeam on because i wasn’t motivated enough

I mostly stick to mapping and making parts for ingame vehicles

[latent sleet]

im tyrna install the career overhaul mod but its just not working, i put the mod into the correct folder and then it just says invalid zip file and doesnt load ingame

[unique zealot]

i actually cant think of any except american roads before the controversy

[stoic wadi]

my texture doesnt work in the game, it shows but doesnt work(if i apply it it just shows no texture)

wrong channel lmao

or not

[eager moss]

Ahem ahem

Theres lots of good wheeling maps (like mine 🤪) but i would agree there aren’t many interesting cruising ones

[stoic wadi]

solved

[thick hawk]

ok so a bit convoluted, but I'm making new parts in a new material/map because I need more UV space, and I have this with skins.
Is there a hack or smth that, if a skin gets equipped (or even at all times), that material just uses the original main material on layer 2 (because UV2 mapping would work with it anyways)
or will I just have to make new materials for all skins affected that apply the skin to my new material aswell and screw custom skins

[golden gulch]

is there any videos for doing working doors

If anyone here knows lua MAKE ME A BITE POINT ADJUSTABLE UI THING

PLEASE I NEED THIS

[tacit halo]

If they are public mods it's not

[eager moss]

still immoral unless you have permission

ik a lot of people who would be irritated at that

[tacit halo]

They are public mods? Do you expect them to not be downloaded

If a mod is made available publicly you don't have the right to control who gets it or doesn't, it's public, anyone can get it

If it's a private mod it's a whole other thing

But you can't expect public files not being shared

[eager moss]

still just common sense to ask the modder

ig its different in the repo/forums community, but most the modders i work with on discord don't like their stuff getting shared around unless they've been asked first

[tacit halo]

That's just stupid
If it's a Public server what difference is it from sending a link to that server to sending the mod, none

[eager moss]

the point is they want credit, they dont want their shit being shared around without them knowing

and to be aware who has it

[tacit halo]

But it's a Public mod, it's available to the public, you can not expect this to not happen once you publish anything in the open internet

[eager moss]

How?

they're in their server

I get mod
I leave because I want mod not useless discord server

Which is what if done if for some reason there's public mods in discord servers

[eager moss]

just saying thats how people treat that in the community im used to

[tacit halo]

I'm still pretty sure thats not a violation of IP rights

[eager moss]

yea you're right it isn't

[tacit halo]

Or even if so you can't really prove it if you say that the end user is not allowed to redistribute the mod

[floral plinth]

Greetings chat. Any way I can rename my config with json or whatever file? I tried to search for some threads on the official site but they gave 0 working methods

[broken stratus]

If the config already has an info json file, it's a matter of editing/adding the config name. Check vanilla info json files, you can use them as a reference

[arctic whale]

Nob need help running RLS mod

[floral plinth]

May I ask what do you mean reference? I also tried to search for the name of the config in .pc file

[broken stratus]

.pc files don't contain the config name

As I said, it's in the info .json (for example, info_base_i4_A.json)

[floral plinth]

Yeah and i couldn’t find anything in it that can refer to something like “config name” or “displayed name” etc

[broken stratus]

It has that, I can assure you

[floral plinth]

Alright, I’ll check for it later. Thanks @broken stratus !

[broken stratus]

"Configuration" is the one that you're looking for

[floral plinth]

Ooh yeah I saw that

But it says right what it needs to, and in game its name is different

That’s the thing

[broken stratus]

Did you place it in the correct directory? If it's a WIP mod, it should be in unpacked/name of the mod/vehicles/name of the car

[floral plinth]

Yeah. Actually I’m editing it. I rewritten it in game

It’s not mine

[broken stratus]

Did you unpack the mod?

[floral plinth]

Unpack from zip? I didn’t

They say install all mods as they are, like in zip

Drag and drop

[broken stratus]

You should unpack it, place it in the unpacked folder, make the desired changes in the info json file, then pack it again and place it in the mods folder

[floral plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/oopsies-ohno-gif-25793283

I thought it would be easier lol

[broken stratus]

It's not that difficult

[floral plinth]

So if correct name is already in json, but it won’t show in game, if I do all these manipulations it’ll fix itself?

If I get it right

[broken stratus]

It should, yeah

[floral plinth]

Alr, I’ll do it tomorrow bc it’s already 12:07 AM for me

Thanks mate

[broken stratus]

You're welcome

Since when was beam on epic games

for a while now

im tryna figure out do like other mods work on epic before i buy it

mods dont use the steam workshop, they use an outside repository, it will just change the folder where you drop the mod files

So I just did all that and nothing’s changed

[broken stratus]

Might be an issue with the mod, I dunno

[signal adder]

Hello, i have few questions regarding how BeamNG handles some stuff:

1. Can you export whole map in one .dae? Does Beam treats it as one single object, or it can read different objects which are in one .dae?
2. Can you use one ORM texture for metalness workflow or you need separate textures?

[weary tangle]

i dont think you can export the terrain block itself as dae, but you can export its heightmap and material info.
2. I dont think you can, i think they all have to be seperate (not fully sure)

Or if you mean import a map ingame as one mesh, that wouldn't be a good idea for multiple reasons (won't have LOD's, the colision mesh will probably be really laggy, and leaving tyre marks on that object will lag the game)

[signal adder]

thanks for advices 🙏

[toxic widget]

Gave +1 Reputation to @weary tangle (current: #34 - 119)

[signal adder]

specifically i mean not as one whole object - i have few objects in blender - lets say ROAD_1, ROAD_2, ROAD_3 - they are separated objects - for example if you save it like that as .fbx for Assetto, it reads different objects as different meshes and loads them based on proximity to player, question is if i save that as .dae, will it be 3 objects or just 1

i know from past that i can "instance" same object in beamng in some .json file, in that file you write position and specific .dae

[weary tangle]

it will be one object ingame, but the lod's will act seperate

also in beamng you import an object, and you can duplicate it how many times you want, and those will be instances of the same mesh

[signal adder]

great, thanks again!

yes

Should I look for like half of that or lower?

Whats a stock rim aim for that find one that looks pretty complicated and see waht its poly count is but i know 15k is way to much

[north sonnet]

yo

anyone think they can help me with some engine swapping stuff 😭

[feral patio]

is there a way to swap a fifth wheel from 0.30 and after to a mod that hasnt been updated past 0.29

[proud solstice]

not really, depends on the design

[feral patio]

aka im asking for a few tips on how to maybe get the wentward 5000 to work

[brittle warren]

15k polys for a single rim is insane

[proud solstice]

not when it's a mesh design with a curvy surface

unless you do a 30 poly barrel which is lame and a half

tbf mine are also fully detailed

[eager moss]

These shitty things are like 6k tris or something?

Genuinely completely forgot lol

Dunno

I thought it was around that

[eager moss]

i was right

6028 tris per wheel

[signal girder]

Best I can do is 1 quad and a .png

Making rims like its 1999

haha

[signal adder]

what exactly is Transform [Position] in Inspector? is this center of world origin? i got a bit confused because i imported few objects - everyone has same position value, but they stay correct in relative one to other (which seems counter intuitive at first glance, cuz same position should place them in the same spot)

Hello, I need help with my app UI because I am trying to run an app where, when I select a car (for example, the D series) and click on the button, the app randomly generates a configuration for the same vehicle.

[regal latch]

lol

[brittle warren]

Well i mean noone can help unless you say which part isnt working. Also isnt there already a mod that does this?

[eager moss]

Shouldnt have been unbanned then

[eager moss]

Theres already a mod for this i believe, random config generator or smth.

[real gull]

No, there isn't, apart from randomizers that randomize all vehicles and parts. For me, it's just one car and a bunch of configurations of the same vehicle, and I'm having issues (well, I can't show you because of my time zone). It's mainly the UI side of the mod, its display and its inner workings, that I can't get to work.

[regal latch]

Well the usual drill is "Here is what i want to happen, this is the piece of code, but instead it does this"

And then people look at it, maybe

[real gull]

My UI App loads, but Angular never injects app.html (templateUrl not mounted). The app window is empty although the directive is registered

anyone can create mods? This car specifically?(less than 30€)

[brittle warren]

Most people that can wont. Its a good idea to just not ask for custom mods to be made as most people who contact you will all be scammers.

[tawny venture]

ik but for now i got two modding servers

they are waiting for more oics of the car so they can start

and they both proposed 30€ minimum since they got a car that looks simiar already

[proud solstice]

$30 could maybe get you one of the wheels

[surreal wyvern]

i got a arabic server they got it

[tacit halo]

Wait wait
Did someone dm you this, if so please show me their profile

I just want to make sure you ain't being scammed

anyone know a camera mod with enhanced fov for when i go faster?

[neat kernel]

can someone explain how slots2 work?

[tacit halo]

There's docs for it, however denytypes don't work

Most newly introduced stuff has good documentation about it

[neat kernel]

alright, slots sometimes dont work for me when they are slots2

[tacit halo]

how are you doing the glow thing? invisible triggers + glow maps?

[split basin]

Looking for a modpack with plenty of vehicles, including crazy ones like helicopters, trucks, beater, sporty/non sporty etc

[rancid wedge]

oh I thought I am just stupid for not getting them to work lol

[rancid wedge]

slots2 is the same as the old slots, but with the addition of allowTypes and denyTypes. DenyTypes don't work currently so just leave it empty all the time, and allowTypes should normally just be a cupy of the regular name and it will work like normal

[tacit halo]

allow types = multiple slot types

basically

[rancid wedge]

allowTypes is basically an overwride for the regular slot name, but with the ability to add multiple slots at once. This is used in T-series suspension for example

[rancid wedge]

yea TLDR, this

[unique zealot]

yeah thats just not a thing

modpacks in general arent really a thing aside from traffic mods

[brittle warren]

Any modpacks that exist are just stolen mods/ meshslapped junk

[split basin]

i just want crazy configs for a video

[tacit halo]

but theres not such a thing as a modpack with a lot of variety

best you can do is a list of mods

[radiant arrow]

guys

I made my first automation mod

[tacit halo]

@buoyant sable yo i just noticed i have a message pinned here, its like wildly out of date tho, can you remove it

[radiant arrow]

its like a bmw-ish stupid bumper with porsche like backside

[tacit halo]

#automation ?

[buoyant sable]

This one?

[tacit halo]

correct

[buoyant sable]

There you go.

[dusty tapir]

hello \

im trying to make a mod with a pre existing car im just trying to tweak it any one knows how i tried on yt vids but couldnt get it

[pseudo tartan]

In short terms yes, the trigger system is a bit more complex than the vanilla one, and have the ability to be enabled and disabled with a input electric, for example if you open the door with the handle, the handle disables and you need to use the door panel pull area

[dusty tapir]

can someone help me with this?

[pseudo tartan]

It’s kind of a two part system, I made a vehicle editor extension for making the triggers in the world editor, makes setting them up a breeze. But I still need to setup glowmaps which isn’t too bad since I can take the time to make them look however I want

[brittle warren]

YOu have to actually say what you cant figure out dog.

[tacit halo]

hmm this is rather interesting i might need to look into it, it looks cool

[dusty tapir]

as i said before i have a pre existing car mod that i want to tweak but i want to make my own version of it such as the w211 i want to costimize it and tweak the engine then save it in the folder

[brittle warren]

Then find the engine jbeam, make a copy and rename it and jbeam name for the engine and save it thats all

[dusty tapir]

;-; man i tried like 12 diffrent times it dont work

[brittle warren]

Is the mod unpacked. And is the part showing in the part menu or not. Also press the tilde ` key to check the console for errors. Also get vscode and the jbeam extension to help solve syntax issues if there are any. https://code.visualstudio.com/download https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=beamng.jbeam-editor

[dusty tapir]

let me try again

[brittle warren]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/

also take a look at this

[unique zealot]

the most you really need is a copied jbeam file, and to just rename all the names

the jbeam file name, the internal name and the actual engine name i mean

[brittle warren]

Yea thats already been said

[unique zealot]

call it.. emphasising

[dusty tapir]

i have a car mod already that i want to customize the engine aka make a new engine script but everytime i do it either i get an error or the mod doesnt show up at all

[unique zealot]

how are you doing it?

[dusty tapir]

https://youtu.be/JXEc1VQPdP0?si=Al1ExnhMGv2EHQrj

using this vid

[unique zealot]

i mean your file you are using

[dusty tapir]

as u mean in jbeam? or as like the mod file

[unique zealot]

the engine jbeam file

[dusty tapir]

on notebook++

[unique zealot]

no

show us the jbeam and what youve changed

[dusty tapir]

this is the script of the jbeam

that i changed

[unique zealot]

is that the original or your copy?

[dusty tapir]

copy

[unique zealot]

ok, what did you change and whats original

[dusty tapir]

all of it is chaned

[unique zealot]

post the original

[unique zealot]

this actually

[brittle warren]

WEll thats a text files not a .jbeam thats why it probably wont load

[unique zealot]

its saved as a txt file rather than a jbeam

[dusty tapir]

;-; how do i fix that

kinda feel stupid ngl just never did this before T-T

[brittle warren]

Also syntax is wrong here the " goes after nodes not :

[unique zealot]

right click and rename it

[dusty tapir]

but on my file and desktop it says jbeam

[unique zealot]

because the file extension is hidden and its actually a txt file

[brittle warren]

Here syntax is also fixed

[dusty tapir]

did u fix my original or the moded one?

[brittle warren]

Get vs code with the jbeam extension trust this will be way easier. And the modded one

[dusty tapir]

already did but as i said its my first time doing this and i very much apricate u but should i add the car it self into the mod file too or just the engine

[brittle warren]

Are you making it a whole seperate mod?

[dusty tapir]

yes

[dusty tapir]

do i do the same steps as this vid? or is there extra steps to do

[misty sail]

Does anyone know where do I replace the police vehicle from Bastion to my mod for RLS Career mod?

[brittle warren]

So you want just the engine to be a seperate mod right? If so just make a folder called mrwmod then in side another folder called vehiclesthen inside it one with the name of the vehicle fodler of the original mod. Then place the engine jbeam inside it. And put the main folder in your unpacked mods folder.

Like this but for your vehicle

[dusty tapir]

like this?

[brittle warren]

yes except the vehicle name has - in it im not sure if it will work like that is that how the original is labeled?

[unique zealot]

imo if you are just starting out, i would strongly advise you make the mod for a vanilla car

[dusty tapir]

here is the car model after i changed it

[dusty tapir]

and yes that what the original mod pack is called

[unique zealot]

this is my first engine that i did, well, this is the base one i took it from

this is what i modified it into, the txt file is just for the embed

but you can see the engine name, the internal name and the name are the key differences

[dusty tapir]

i did change the name a bit im just trying to make my irl car into the game thats all XD but its killing me

[unique zealot]

again, i heavily advise you just do a vanilla car instead

[dusty tapir]

but broken fixed my script and all im missing rn is to know what to do with the files cuz my brain is fried its 12 am for me

i just whant to drag these two and make them a mod thats all i need

[unique zealot]

technically it should still work as long as the syntax is correct and its in the right folder

[dusty tapir]

is there no vc here ?

[brittle warren]

No too hard to moderate and its against discord rules to have an unmoderated community page

[dusty tapir]

i need someone to guide me throw a screan share i cant anymore

[unique zealot]

just load up the game and try the engine

[dusty tapir]

alr ill try that rq

rq do i have to unpack the mod first?

[brittle warren]

The original mod no.

[unique zealot]

as long as its the same folder name in yours, it should still work, so no

[dusty tapir]

still no i cant seem to find it

[unique zealot]

it doesnt show up in the parts list?

[dusty tapir]

nope

[unique zealot]

is the folder name the same as the mod

[dusty tapir]

here both of them

the original and the one im working on

[tacit halo]

mercedes-benz-w111 is the name of the zip file not the name of the internal vehicle name

its w211

[unique zealot]

rename your folder to that

[dusty tapir]

still no

[unique zealot]

rename your engine file, it might not be liking the space in it

[dusty tapir]

can somebody add me and just help me through it on screen record

[dusty tapir]

still no

[surreal wyvern]

does anyone wanna make a yukon xl 2011 with me "I'm not paying because i made the car 45% already, So dont tell me you want payment i'm gonna help you also"

Do you know any good way to learn lua?

Beamng lua

[brittle warren]

Just normal lua/ lua jit. Its honestly not too bad

[ivory mesa]

hey guys, I am porting a gta V car into beamng and I already have the car ingame and partially jbeamed, no textures show up although they do show up in blender

how can I make the textures visible on beam?

[honest siren]

Had a question and figured I'd ask it in here. I'm using an old wheel pack containing some wheels but is a bit outdated and the tires say "no texture" on them. Is there a way to edit them to fit a modern wheel tire pack like TTBTP's?

[craggy rampart]

I am trying to make more fender flags for the Grand Marshall. I plan on using the vanilla fender flagpoles that came with the limo update and replacing the flag image itself but I can't get it to show up in game. How do I accomplish this?

[rancid wedge]

You need to copy the material.json file for the flags and replace the right texture file name in there with yours, and then either replace the flag material with skin jbeam slots, or with alternative flags like the T-series colored bumpers do it

[neat kernel]

for some reason my models wont show up unless i put them in the flexbodies of other existing parts

and i aint making 7 dashboards 😭

[craggy rampart]

What do you mean by skin jbeam slots?

[flat ice]

hi were does most people get there mods from

[neon crater]

Repository and forums

[flat ice]

but Repository are limted and has awfull mods

[craggy rampart]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/

[flat ice]

theres no good mods on there

[neon crater]

Better than Modland mods

[rancid wedge]

Each car skin has a jbeam, which is only there to tell the game to use the material you made. Alternatively you can also make a new flag that has the material replaced from the start

[flat ice]

mod land has realistic cars

[rancid wedge]

You need at least 3 nodes near the flexbody that have the same group name, check what group your nodes have and try with that

[neon crater]

Modland is full of slop, bad quality mods, potential malware, and you just shouldn’t download any mods from there, nor any other 3rd party site

[flat ice]

but were does goeesiest get his mods then

[neat kernel]

its not a jbeamed part, connected to the dash, not sure how i do that

[neon crater]

Usually the forums and repository

[flat ice]

ok thanks there seems to be more car mods and stuff on the forums thanks for telling me

this usualy works just fine when its not slot2 but idk how to do it when it is slot2

[flat ice]

il try to stay away from modland then

[neon crater]

Yea, try to stick to those sources

[flat ice]

ive notice some of modland mods just dont work at all

[neat kernel]

anyone able to help?

[craggy rampart]

If I make a new flag then, what do I need to have in the Unpacked folder?

[flat ice]

i didint even know i can get mods on those forums

[rancid wedge]

The slots2 should not be affecting this. Maybe the nodes are not close enough or something

[neat kernel]

it shouldnt use nodes at all

ive never had to use nodes for non jbeamed stuff

other than props

[rancid wedge]

Are you sure that this is what the body group is called?

[neat kernel]

yes

i believe

[rancid wedge]

And the object is called NS?

Did you check that in blender?

[neat kernel]

yes

both are called NS

[rancid wedge]

You need to look at what the flexbody uses, not the part name. It's probably just gmc_body or pickup_body if the vehicle is based on the D-series

[neat kernel]

nope

mb

[rancid wedge]

If you scroll down here you find the flexbodies section, where the crew cab model is added

[neat kernel]

hold

there we go

[neat kernel]

thank you so much

[flat ice]

my mods i downloaded used to work but now when i download mods it picks it up in game but my car mod doesnt show in game to select car

[rancid wedge]

Cars in the selector are now sorted after categories, maybe that mod doesn't support that and therefor landed somewhere at the bottom or something

[flat ice]

i checked eevry were theres nothing

seems some mods on the official forums that say release are also broken mods that don't work downloaded deferent one and it worked

[rancid wedge]

Yea sometimes they just get outdated

[flat ice]

but they dont say outdated

[rancid wedge]

They only do when the modder sets it to outdated or if it gets reported

hey, quick question about a BeamNG app + lua mod

I’m trying to make a small UI app with one button.
The app shows up in the Apps list, name + description are there, but the button itself doesn’t appear in the window in game.

On click, the button should:

keep the current vehicle

pick a random config of the same vehicle

including .pc configs (since they’re configs too)

if a .pc is picked, keep its original color

The lua part works when I trigger it manually, but I think I’m messing up the UI side (app.html / app.js / app.json, templateUrl, directive name, folder name, etc).

Console shows stuff like:
app not found: randomconfig / configapps

I’ll also send:

my app.html / app.js / app.json (apps side)

and the lua extension that actually does the randomization (which works)

So yeah, I’m probably missing something obvious in how BeamNG links the UI files.
Any idea what usually causes the button not to render?

I’m still learning, so sorry if it’s a dumb mistake 😅

[woeful marsh]

Hello! I am currently trying to fix an Issue where my custom configuration of a vanilla vehicle using vanilla parts, a vehicle of the "Police" type, loses this typing when I apply said configuration, making AI police cars chase after me for any infraction, rather than chase a target with me.

I know Vanilla vehicles have their vehicle type set in a .json file in the main steam folder. I was thinking I could just edit the Configuration's .json to have it also be a "police" type, hoping this would fix things.

I am now running into the following issue: Configurations are stored in the Appdata-Beamng folder, where only ".pc" files are present.

Do custom Configurations even generate .json files? My rudimentary online research has lead me to believe they do, but I cannot find them anywhere.
I dont even know if changing the Config-Car's .json would help me for this case, but I figured it would be worth a try. Is what im describing here even possible?

[woeful marsh]

actually considering that none of the modded cars police variants "count" as police, is this just straight up impossible / my game broken in some way?

Not sure sorry mate.

Maybe go talk to Phillygriff and Meo, they make mods kind of like that and might know some other good modders

Yea

They’re the only people who do drag mods that i know

Shouldnt the directive name be the name of your app? Thats what broke mine for the longest time

NVm yours is the same

[real gull]

its structure and better?

[brittle warren]

Add the js section to ur .json

[real gull]

Even with the ones I've done, I still get the “app not found” message.

[brittle warren]

IF you dont mind send me the whole mod rq like pack it and ill; look through the whole thing with my stuff open on the side

[real gull]

Sure, thanks a lot.
I’ll pack the whole mod and send it to you.

Just so you know what you’re looking at:
– The Lua extension works and correctly randomizes configs for the currently selected vehicle
– The main issue is the UI app side (app.json / app.js / app.html)
– I keep getting “app not found” even though the directive, name and paths seem correct
– I’m probably missing something obvious in the app registration or structure

Feel free to change anything if you spot the problem, I’m still learning how BeamNG UI apps work.

(PS: I wanted to create these mods because I don't see any other mods that do this: when you click on random, it doesn't just choose the vehicle you've selected.)

Do you have the font in the mod itself?

it goes to the ui/common folder

(inside the mod zip)

i honestly just think this is not correct

or doesnt work at runtime, at least

yea currently its a mess i replace stuff but if i ever release will do seperate
