[shrewd knoll]

does anyone know about a proper e46 sedan mod? at least with gear shifter movement🙏

[eager moss]

They pay for the mods.

Or they get them illegally

And be aware these “cool mods” they use aren’t always that cool

They’re usually pretty rough around the edges

[crystal wraith]

They’re good enough for playing around with

They’re not dev quality

I really don’t see an issue with decent mods, as long as they’re free

Of the car drives good and looks good I could kinda care less how it crashes

[eager moss]

Same

[onyx smelt]

Would anybody be able to help me with a skinpack? I already have all the textures, I just can never figure out how to actually get them to show up in game.

[eager moss]

<@&710084482031550547> this guys a scammer btw, and he’s irritating

[final hazel]

On it. Keep these screenshots here for a sec so i can refer to them.

[eager moss]

Ok. Also, just check #mods-discussion bud here is discussing pirating mods, i believe thats a rule violation too

[final hazel]

Taken care of.

[final hazel]

Ill look into this one.

[eager moss]

Ok ty

[feral creek]

I do apologize I am operating on like 2 hours of sleep

And wasn't paying attention to what I was saying

[eager moss]

Oh ofc ofc that makes the world all fine 👍

Think before you speak.

Or type

[feral creek]

I'm like trying to apologize twin

[eager moss]

Ok 🤷‍♂️

Either way you’re taking a modders hard work for free.

[feral creek]

If I told you I'll pay the 12 bucks to make up for it would that work? Not rn because I've currently got 11¢ in my account rn but yknow

Whenever I get paid I suppose

Like I said my hours are wildly inconsistent and all that

[eager moss]

Idk, thats a discussion to have with RLS. Not me

I just get pissed off at people who support leaking, as I know the effort and money that goes into modding

[feral creek]

Well I guess I'll talk to them about it

[feral creek]

I sent raceless the apology so we'll see I guess.

[wheat copper]

nah, depends on what mod mainly

[eager moss]

well they warned him for it so 🤷‍♂️

[wheat copper]

more for the other stuff

paid mods are at best a tos grey-area and at worst flat out illegal, so... prolly dont wanna bring more attention to it

[brittle warren]

IF they were a grey area there wouldnt be tags for them on the discord and allowed on the forums

[eager moss]

allat illegal stuffs bs who cares

companies dont do shit about it

either way, it seems to be taken as against the rules

[feral creek]

I don't see how paid mods could be illegal?

[crystal wraith]

Selling brand labels

[patent jackal]

so dont sell them as brands

make em lore friendly

[eager moss]

not many people really want that

[brittle warren]

I want my irl cars. Lore friendly is cool but i wanna crush something i have driven irl

[crystal wraith]

Yeah I do enjoy irl cars

My bad for wanting irl cars in arguably the best driving game to exist lol

I wish there was a gbody mod, I really want my Monte Carlo ingame

[eager moss]

^ This ^

[weary tangle]

they currently depend on game tos's. Beamng devs haven't yet taken a stance (against them), so they are fine.

CDPR with cyberpunk for example did take a stance and taken down the vr mod for example.
Microsoft MSFS for example is for paid mods, and they can be very expensive (also bedrock minecraft....)
Bethesda also supports them with the creation club
Assetto corsa evo i think will support them in future (will def be paid knowing where they are going with the game)

[open warren]

Hi Guys, my mod has been approved on BeamNG forums.
It is a Traffic tool that lets you customize your traffic vehicles and spawn them in game to be used as traffic.
Please check it out: https://www.beamng.com/threads/custom-traffic-in-beamng-–-new-traffic-builder-tool.108641/

[wheat copper]

yeah thats my point, devs havent exactly taken a stance, theres some stuff in tos about "only for non-commerical purposes" but beam so far hasnt taken any action so im aware, its more for safety

[ebon tangle]

The price of stuff in msfs has more to do with the fact its a flight sim, there’s a certain difficulty inherent to developing anything for those games

[young dragon]

Hey guys I previously made a car mod on blender and I'm currently trying to get it into beam but it's not working idk if it's the jbeam files or json files I used chatgpt to make is there anyone who can help me to get it working it would mean a lot thanks

[rose gulch]

how could i change the sound files of cars (i wanted to do irl sounds for a few cars) but i want to add a new engine

i already have the sounds

i just dont know how to add them to beam

[unreal ocean]

any smart modders have time to answer a quick, probably stupid question

[tight shuttle]

don't ask to ask

[unreal ocean]

In the Career mode with RLS i grabbed myself a MD series truck and used the racetab engine adapter to swap the engine out, i got the engine running and everything but it seems like no matter what transmission i throw on it it just wont move, doesnt seem like the driveshaft is even spinning either. Im wondering if i need to just use the racetab engines with it or if i can indeed use the engines from the cummins pack and im just doing something wrong

[fair vortex]

anyone know of any good toyota tundra mods

[violet ruin]

hi guys
Please send me a 3D model of the spike posts without static effects for BeamNG Drive.

[royal crater]

never used rls, but there's a ui app called "powertrain", in there you'll be able to see where it's not connected. Though it can be a bit tricky to understand, good luck

[royal crater]

is this something in the default game as a spawnable thing? if so, go to Steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/content/vehicles/ (in steam, you can right click and inspect local files). Then you can try to find the accompanying zip file that contains all the related files, including the .dae file (the newest versions of blender don't accept dae anymore, so you'll have to use an older version)

[violet ruin]

Not this is vehicle

[rose gulch]

[boreal surge]

I'm trying to add parts to a mod (Exhaust and transmission from the Scintilla GT3 mod), but i don't know which file i would need to go to, to add said parts
I think it would be pretty easy since the mod (Engine mod) uses the same model as the GT3 engine, so there shouldn't be any issues
Also this is strictly for personal use only, so this won't be published or anything

[tacit halo]

please censor the name of those people

[wet island]

u confused me lmao

[tacit halo]

i mean c***h youtubers

the worst part of beamng

make slop and attract children

[wet island]

true, 1 person I dislike is WreckNGeeZ. he gatekeeps his method of making wheels detach on his dumb patreon which made me make the app.

[tacit halo]

grifters grifting the grifters

good on him

[crystal wraith]

@ebon tangle is trailer modding easier than car modding? In terms of learning curve, like could I pick it up quick or would it take me a long ass time, I can learn decently quick tho

Been wanting to make lots of trailer mods

[tacit halo]

tried both?

full car ofc is harder than full scratch trailer
tuning kit for car is easier than full trailer

[ebon tangle]

Uhhhh id say its easier then doing a full car cause theres just less to do

The chipvan i made is an awful meshslap tho

[tacit halo]

and theres no drivetrain (i hate drivetrain i hate drivetrain)

[crystal wraith]

I mean custom trailers tho, not like editing ingame ones

[tacit halo]

ik im joking

[crystal wraith]

I could care less bro it’s a damn trialer 😭😭

[ebon tangle]

The scratch jbeam ive done for my combi was not very hard just too time consuming for my taste

[tacit halo]

full custom trailer provided you steal the suspension and dont die trying to figure out leaf springs is ez

[ebon tangle]

Yeah its def easier

I wanna do a jeep n better lowboy at some point

But i think the devs will do a US style lowboy at some point

[crystal wraith]

If you do xj I can provide support with progress 🙏

[ebon tangle]

I can do materials and jbeam i just cant scratch model for shit

[unique zealot]

tbh trailers do sound like a good way to learn the suspension, jbeam and modelling, maybe openables too if its that type

[ebon tangle]

I was planning on using an ATS model again cause they arent hard to work with and the topo is ok

[ebon tangle]

Not that kinda jeep 😭

[crystal wraith]

Ats lowboy would be sick bro

The 2 piece ones

[ebon tangle]

This kinda jeep

But you need a long tongue lowboy for that

[crystal wraith]

Oh I see

Never knew that’s their name, lmao

[tacit halo]

do they also death wobble at highway speeds

[ebon tangle]

i mean they're carrying like 100+ tons so i hope not

[paper mantle]

can anyone give me some good car and trailer mods

[crystal wraith]

They’re probably one of the most high tech trailer related things you could ever get so probably no

And the cargo they’d be carrying they’re probably not getting over 60mph

[sonic sequoia]

hello guys im new into BeamNg and i need some helps to download graphic mod or better what is the best graphic mod and can somebody send me tutorial how to download it?

[wet island]

small showcase of the app

[drifting oasis]

Does beammp need more processing power to run smoothly like with traffic? Or does it run (somewhat) smoothly with a mid-range GPU and CPU?

[crystal wraith]

It’s all based on your pc

BeamNG and beammp run the same performance wise

[ebon tangle]

thats pretty cool

[wet island]

Thanks!😊

[drifting oasis]

Okay thanks! So if it runs fine on freeroam with a few cars, it will run similar on multiplayer?

Okay cool!

So guys im happy to pay, id rather not but i own a mazda 3 bk sedan and id love to see if somone could make one for me for beamng, so long as its the mazda 3 SEDAN BK, id be so so so happy, or if anyone knows someone that would make one, its my car irl and id love to play it in game aye

[tacit halo]

Mods take 6+ months to make, you think anyone is willing to spend that time for 0€? Either be lucky that someone that has the skills wants to do it(probably not because it's a boring sedan) or do it yourself

[craggy forum]

does anyone know mods that make the game more realistic? not visually. but just more realistic like for example how the mod Better Windshields makes it more realistic

[flat ice]

hi I'm just going to try use the basic mods and is there a mod that adds timer to screen that i can use for chalenges

[frank mason]

He said he pay

[tacit halo]

if he said "hed rather not" id imagine his budget wouldnt be hunderds or thousands of €

[flat ice]

since i got no reply i found out that steam has one seems like it

[frank mason]

Maybe he tried to say „id rather not own a mazda 3bk“

[craggy briar]

Hey, does anyone know a Mod for the Touran Type 1T ? (2003-2006) its my personal car, and id love to drive it in BeamNG

[exotic flicker]

Is it easy to mod beamng drive

[unique zealot]

yes just drag and drop into the mods folder

[twilit fjord]

The interior camera mod doesnt work, I can't switch to it and it just switches to the default driver cam, what do i do?

[hard radish]

Is there a mod that adds license plate slot to any vehicle on spawn?

[exotic flicker]

Are there any good mods for like police chases and stuff

That you would suggest

[unique zealot]

not that i know of

[civic prawn]

Enable the camera in the settings

Read mod descriptions ffs

[blazing harbor]

Check the vanilla cars' jbeam files 😄 usually the license plate slot is on the bumper or trunk. Then just copy and paste that to any car you want

[hard radish]

Yeah yeah, ik, ty, sorry. I meant like... to ANY ANY vehicle, with a hotkey or just as a mod that automatically adds a license plate slot if it doesn't already exist in the vehicle's JBeam (if the vehicle is about to spawn, stuff like that). Without the need to edit any files manually every time. @full wyvern could probably make us such a mod 🙂 🙂 🙂

[toxic widget]

True, but that would need an adjustable slot position too

[ember verge]

hello, can you help me download mods such as realistic cars, e.g. BMW, Audi?

[tacit halo]

how do you tackle placing the licence plate automatically where its supposed to tho?

[ebon tangle]

I dont think making jbeam on thr fly is even possible

[tacit halo]

that too

[ebon tangle]

But of course hes completely ignorant to any of that and pings a dev

[tacit halo]

at best you could maybe make a front/rear combo licenceplate adjustable with variables in the tuning thab that uses the vehicle_mod slot

[hard radish]

I just need the slot to appear in the Vehicle Config menu, I don't need it to be visually present on the vehicle

[tacit halo]

oh i see
uh each mod has whatever slots they want so you cant just force them to appear

[hollow fractal]

What up to date basics to advanced mod tutorials would you guys recommend?

I was following one but at the first step it was outdated, my next plan is probably to binge filman86 videos

[ebon tangle]

Idk how good filmans are

I mostly used the wiki and the base game cars as a reference

[hollow fractal]

Fair enough, I’m thinking now the best course of action is to just follow everything in the Beamng modding documentation

[brittle warren]

Yes there are almost no good videos. MorzBNG has some good ones tho

[hollow fractal]

That’s the ones I was following but I found the very first part of the series was outdated

[brittle warren]

The only thing thats changed is new features? Like everything else is exactly the same. Well and the mod folder location

[hollow fractal]

I did the first bit and kept getting “mod outdated or corrupt” I sort comments by new and see a bunch of people saying the same

Is it possible to apply downforce to flat triangles through lua?

Currently messing around with getting ground effect in beam

[little portal]

In the sense of does someone know of an example

[tight shuttle]

not that i know of

you could always just jbeam the diffuser as a ramp to brute-force the effect

[little portal]

I want it to be a bit more advanced with optimal windows etc, ill just look at how the trabajano did the static downforce

I know this isnt the car to use for ground effect nor is the suspension stiff enough, this is just a proof of concept. https://streamable.com/meniyv

I have a problem. I made a mod that changes the Marshal's wood interior trim with carbon fibre. I used the rock climber/rockbouncer's material for the carbon fibre. at first the texture is loaded just fine. But when i restart my session, the texture wont load. I have to load the rock climber into the game first, then i load the Marshal. Anyone know how to fix this?

[brittle warren]

That will always happen since the material isnt in a common folder.

You will need to copy the material and rename it and put it in your mod

i wonder will i ever be able to code in C++ for mods

[unique zealot]

theres no relation to C++

the programming language is lua

[severe yew]

this is what im saying why dont we get a library or something

[brittle warren]

Im confused its just lua. Lua has library's and modules and ypu can do anything really.

[severe yew]

ray tracing on lua is a hard no you know

[tacit halo]

a library that translates C into lua?

[severe yew]

no, something that can directly interact with BeamNG made in C++

[tacit halo]

its not easy to make that

just learn lua

[severe yew]

i already know lua i am just simply not ray tracing beamng using lua

like its not that i dont want to its that it would be unbearably slow

3 fps max, especially since lua runs entirely on cpu

[tacit halo]

doenst beamng already have ray tracing for the tech version of beamng

[severe yew]

only vulkan

[tacit halo]

i see

what does the ccf use then for the ADAS stuff

that isnt horribly slow

[severe yew]

huh

ray tracing as in graphics

[tacit halo]

oh i thought you ment ray tracing for ADAS stuff

or vehicle systems

[severe yew]

nah thats acceptable its not slow

but imagine throwing rays all around the scene using a runtime language

[tacit halo]

yeah

[severe yew]

that would be really unbelievably slow

[tacit halo]

still being able to write c doesnt mean you can run it on the gpu right?

[severe yew]

it does

using the vulkan sdk

[tacit halo]

i mean but like the game would need to change a lot just for that to work

[severe yew]

i dont think so

unless the vulkan version is just a swapchain ontop of the dx11 version

then yeah i dont think it would

[little portal]

Thats raycast iirc

[ebon tangle]

Yeah ray tracing is specifically for graphics

[severe yew]

raycasting = the ray checks if theres collision
ray tracing = the ray bounces multiple times (like in real life)

[feral creek]

So ray casting would do like

Better collision for crashes and thus more realistic crash physics?

Am I getting this right

[worthy parrot]

no

some games use raycasting to check if the player is on the ground tho

[feral creek]

Oh

Just for like basic collision detection then

[worthy parrot]

yes

[feral creek]

I see

I wonder if there'll ever be a time where beamng becomes outdated in terms of realism and crash physics

[worthy parrot]

maybe.

It's definietly outdated in terms of graphics xD

[feral creek]

Not in our lifetimes though

[worthy parrot]

But i bet they work on that in the future

[feral creek]

Not if you turn everything all the way up, but most people can't do that so yeah

Looks better than most modern titles on ultra

[worthy parrot]

I can tho

[feral creek]

Rich

[patent jackal]

I cant 😭 im on low

[worthy parrot]

ouch

[weary tangle]

there doesn't seem to be any direct competitor to beamng currently

[feral creek]

There probably will be eventually

[severe yew]

it will never be outdated in terms of crash physics, its evolving everyday, https://beamng.tech

its honestly fascinating

[slate hill]

how can I get traffic in the game?

[short oriole]

Click e to enter the radial menu then click to the farthest right option then click on the top traffic then click spawn traffic

[short oriole]

No not really it is bad with graphics optimization if you have a 3080 or wtv the game can look stunning.

[night valley]

How do I add dummies & more cars in ai traffic? (Also dummies in the ai traffic cars)

[quiet moat]

its weird because i deleted every mod and now my game runs like shit

[worthy parrot]

I have a 3080. But that does not fix the missing GI and noisy shadows

[tacit halo]

The zeit graphics mod has global illumination and some other bits

The noisy shadows can also be changed in there, they still ain't perfect

[glad tree]

So I just finished fixing th model in blender

So should I just export it in form of dae file to the folder made for it

[neon crater]

Well that explains it

Guys, where can I get the "DH Super Gnat" for myself?

[wet vortex]

I want to get into beamng modding, whats something i should learn first or do first, as well as any general tips

[regal latch]

That depends very much on the kind of mods you want to make

[wet vortex]

this is probably super advanced but i wanna make some lore friendly cars

[regal latch]

Alright sure, then you want to learn modeling in blender and how jbeams work. Luckily the documentation has a tutorial for you

[wet vortex]

you know where i can find that?

[regal latch]

First result on google really https://documentation.beamng.com/

[wet vortex]

alright thanks a lot

[short oriole]

Dive into the graphics setting a bit more not that beam has basically added car killers graphics settings into the base game you can actually fix it.

I was also able to while on vacation use my 2070 super laptop to get sold 1440p 60 graphics

[dull raft]

[torpid quarry]

Look, ik people use private mods in Beamng videos, But I just wanna swap a DMM512 with a P42DC Locomotive? If people privatize their model, at least teach us how to mod trains in Beamng.

[short oriole]

Screenshot using windows shit plus s

Shift*

[glad tree]

Ah okay

[glad tree]

@short oriole

[glad tree]

I made my mod why its coming like this

[graceful folio]

i wonder how many etk up to date mods there are

[glad tree]

?

[short oriole]

Oh no

I really couldn't say unless you dm ed me the mod for me to diagnose

[patent jackal]

try console and send pic if havent sent to them already

[glad tree]

You asked for photo thats why

I have kind of fixed the light

[cedar bramble]

hi guys i want to buy a plane or tank in beamng career mode (rls), i have all my plane mods on as well as my tank mod but they never come up for sale normally. is there somewhere i gotta look or is there a way i can mod them into my inventory or whatever?

[unique zealot]

are they up to do date so they are included in career?

if not then you wouldnt be able to buy them, also #mods-discussion

[cedar bramble]

hmm maybe

[cedar bramble]

it’s also maybe in a different category than cars

like in objects

cuz u wouldn’t see a haybale for sale

so it could be the same concept yknow

[short oriole]

Sorry

[nocturne needle]

hi guys, how do i import a json master spline ? i see it in a tutorial but the button to import a json is not here can someone help me pls ?

oh it is a mod that do that nvm

[glad tree]

Cab anyone tell me how to fix this

[uneven bear]

Is it the Honda city mod ?

[glad tree]

No

[glad tree]

Finally worked

[unique zealot]

please, take screenshots instead of photos

[patent jackal]

Win+Shift+S

[glad tree]

Ok

This is a gta pack

I am fixing

[cedar bramble]

looks good but dont forget about headlight

[glad tree]

Yeah

I will look to it too

[cedar bramble]

a missing texture can turn a mod from a 10 to a 4

fire bro always good to see a modder who puts actual effort into bug fixing and crash testing

[glad tree]

This was actually a good gta mod pack but no textures so Decided to fix them

[glad tree]

I had to use chatgpt and compare the buffalo jbeam to understand whats the matter

[cedar bramble]

thats fair it happens, chatgpt is a very good troubleshooting tool

[glad tree]

Like it does get you into right direction

[cedar bramble]

its not perfect but it is helpful

[glad tree]

The rest of the inside jbeam requires the understanding of other mods functioning

[glad tree]

Hmm

[cedar bramble]

whast

[glad tree]

Huh

[heady lily]

is there a possibility of a ford mustang shelby gt500 code red

[fervent wind]

can anyone make a 2015 toyota tacoma for me

it was my grandpas truck and he died a few months ago :[

[shadow stratus]

can anyone recommend a good tutorial for making skins for the vehicles?

[scenic trout]

Its a jbeam problem

Which I solved

😭

[fiery spire]

Hello, so i wanted to make an 2.5 boxer engine swap for the second gen pessima, It shows in my mod tab, mods folder both packed and unpacked version, i have anything correctly done in the Jbeam files, but for some reason the engine still doesn't show up in the parts tab, how can i fix it to make the mod work?

[brittle warren]

Why is it packed an unpacked at the same time?

[patent jackal]

Cause if you do both then its always gonna work 👍

[brittle warren]

No it will never work lol

[fiery spire]

I tried first with the packed, and then with the unpacked, but both methods did not work

[patent jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/that-was-legitness-gif-9636252

[brittle warren]

What did you do did you change all jbeam names if not it will think the part is another part and only show the 1

[fiery spire]

I was making this mod with a help of an tutorial, so i did every steps according to it, and speaking of the file, it has the correct name for it in the beginning of a Jbeam script, but later it has "sunburst2" mentioned in couple of the places in that file

[brittle warren]

Well you didnt change the slot type you also have random jbeam at the top of the file the mid-size engine swap part does absolutely nothing because its not valid jbeam at all

[fiery spire]

Probably

[brittle warren]

Just copy a stock engine and rename the slot type and jbeam name its that easy

[patent jackal]

I love modelers

I fixed it

people need to do there job when they give assets to others

lmao

[glad tree]

how is this looking

[patent jackal]

Pretty unique and I mean that in a good way

[glad tree]

Its first time this shit working

[patent jackal]

You new too?

Modelling experience?

[glad tree]

Yeah

[glad tree]

I just downloaded the model

[patent jackal]

ahh

It all on 1 jbeam?

[glad tree]

Btw its looks kind of goofy like not shiny

[glad tree]

Multiple

[patent jackal]

Try reusing the materials from pickup

[glad tree]

How to reuse?

Like I have opened the world editor

[patent jackal]

in blender

sec

[glad tree]

Like how

[patent jackal]

ill show just got boot blender

[glad tree]

Ok

[patent jackal]

Click red circle click on the material that you want to be pickup skin and rename it pickup

then in uv use the pickup main color (Ill send in just a sec)

MOST of the white is where the pickup color will be

Here is the png that you can use in blender

[glad tree]

Is it like for bravado bison?

[patent jackal]

? no its for the pickup in beamng

the original one

[glad tree]

Ok

Should I click the file button

[patent jackal]

In blender yes.

[glad tree]

ctrl + S

?

[patent jackal]

Where did you put the verticee on the thing

press a in the right window and u in the right window

the do perspective ig

and shrink it down to fit in a little white area

[glad tree]

Did a in right window

And u in left window but nothing happened in left

[patent jackal]

Should have put the keybinds togother mb

[glad tree]

Ok a menu came

[glad tree]

I did now

[patent jackal]

Then in left you should get the object something like this

The orange is my object

[patent jackal]

ye[

put it where mine is

not exact just generally

and maybe make a little smaller

uh oh what did I do wrong

[brittle warren]

You 100% should not unwrap a model this crooked it is also overlapping the uv like crazy

[patent jackal]

hes gonna say something

oh ik that I was just showing him how to give a general uv

mines going to change dw

[brittle warren]

Use mart uv project it at least stops uv overlap lol

[glad tree]

I placed

[patent jackal]

What should I use as the frame

[patent jackal]

alright export the dae and hope it worked

[glad tree]

Did

[patent jackal]

it worked

[glad tree]

Btw I kept the name bison_frame only

Did I need to change the name

[patent jackal]

for the material or the object?

[glad tree]

material

[patent jackal]

Yes change the material name to pickup

[glad tree]

😭

ok chaning then doing

or should I change the uv name

to bison

[patent jackal]

leave the uv name and the object name only change uv layout and material layout

[glad tree]

no need to change?

the material name?

[patent jackal]

nope only change name of the material

[glad tree]

ok

Yp

Yo

[patent jackal]

try this

make sure

[glad tree]

ok

[patent jackal]

Ya thats just cause you need to move the uv

for all the parts

[glad tree]

The bumper which was supposed to be white also got red

Because they share same material

How to separate those materials?

[patent jackal]

press the + and change material name then remove old one

with the -

[glad tree]

Ah

[glad tree]

@patent jackal

Where shoudl I place front bumper on the uv map

[patent jackal]

You want the bumper to be white?

Replace it with new material

not pickup call it like white or something for now

and keep it default uv can stay

im gonna eat rn thats why im not responding not cause im ignoring

ill respond in like 10 mins

[glad tree]

I mean its colour is coming differnet

Oh ok

[patent jackal]

Ill be back to respond in a bit

[glad tree]

Btw bro

I want to make the rear bumper white like this

Like shiny

[ebon tangle]

…you mean chrome?

[mortal python]

It's called chrome

Or polished

[glad tree]

I see

[patent jackal]

pickup_chrome or something I dont remember

sec ill find

[mortal python]

Does anyone know any good 5th gen Camaro mods by chance? Ones with the rally stripes to giv it the Bumblebee look?

[patent jackal]

Theres these. or make your own but materials are a pain in the ass lol

[unique zealot]

nope, also #mods-discussion, this channel is about making mods

[patent jackal]

uh oh

this model is dangerously high poly

like worse than beefys silverado

That bad

[mortal python]

Mb

[glad tree]

bison?

[patent jackal]

Nah my corvette

[glad tree]

I see

[glad tree]

The jbeam is pretty bad

I need to fix it

[brittle warren]

MY riviera is like 3m polys just for the shell not dorrs and shit just the shell lol

[glad tree]

Can anyone tell how to fix this jbeam

[patent jackal]

my pc sounds like a jet

[patent jackal]

adjust values

theres blender plugin

and no I wont help get its a pain in the ass for no reason sorry

[glad tree]

As you see the pickup bed jbeam is too stretched

[patent jackal]

ye

[glad tree]

I literally like didnt study 1 week to make this

[brittle warren]

The jbeam needs edited wich will also mean you need to edit the tailgate jbeam and taillight jbeam all at the same time

[glad tree]

I know but how to do it

Like I cant delete anything random

[patent jackal]

erm

[brittle warren]

Either by hand with the jbeam file itself or download the blender jbeam addon and edit them in blender. But the addon is pinicky.

[glad tree]

Pinicky?

[glad tree]

Thats where I have to delete the rest of the useless nodes

But Idk to be true how jbeam works

[brittle warren]

You dont delete nodes or it weill stop working all together lol

[glad tree]

Then what should be done

[brittle warren]

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

Lots of reading and physics

[glad tree]

I dont have that much time

[brittle warren]

Then you will never make a mod if you dont learn the basics.

[glad tree]

Uff

This shit is hard as fuck

[brittle warren]

It is hard but rewarding once you figure it out

[patent jackal]

this applys to mods to tbh

https://tenor.com/view/rome-build-in-a-day-gif-8087194724659765778

[glad tree]

I shoulf ask chatgpt for summary

[brittle warren]

Sounds like your trying to delete thousands of text documents lol single files take longer than big files

[patent jackal]

NO!

[brittle warren]

Dont

[patent jackal]

Its 23gb lol

[brittle warren]

Trust me i use ai but dont ask for help with jbeam it doesnt know shit even if you tell it exactly what to do

[patent jackal]

Ive only asked for simple things like what is the name of the exhaust that goes to engine from the pickup

nothing bigger than that really

[glad tree]

I see

Like bro reading this entire thing

[patent jackal]

Tho with lua thats a diffrent story and I still got nowhere

[glad tree]

Right now my computer is freezing

[patent jackal]

how 😭

[brittle warren]

I use ai to fix syntax errors with my lua and rust code lol its very good at that

[patent jackal]

what ai that?

[brittle warren]

Lolllll

qwen coder lol

[glad tree]

What exactly is this ai doing

[patent jackal]

free and local or?

[patent jackal]

Its tasting the snozberries its important for beamng modding

[brittle warren]

just free lol no strings attached it is a chinese ai tho so be warned your data may be sold

[patent jackal]

like data I give or data it will search for...

how sniffy you think they are

[cursive ether]

hey folks im really new to beam.ng and i want some mods of like licensed cars but i don't really want to risk getting a virus so i wanted to know what the safest website is

Just got the model

[glad tree]

I thought you were fixing jbeam

[patent jackal]

nah hold on ill show what that looks like

[glad tree]

Sketchtab?

[patent jackal]

Correct

[glad tree]

Same

[brittle warren]

Its sketchy fab

[glad tree]

Gta models

[glad tree]

Yes

[patent jackal]

I gotta divide each panel and unsubdivide by myself

[patent jackal]

like inspired or pulled? Cause if pulled im gonna try to avoid helping (Legally ill still help tho lol)

[brittle warren]

Select all the in edit mode select all and click shift or control p and split by seperate parts

[glad tree]

The model was there and decided to download

[unique zealot]

honestly its easier cutting your losses and modelling it from scratch

[glad tree]

Modelling is difficult

[brittle warren]

Seperating models is trash lol

[patent jackal]

ik how to seperate I just have todo it all and its seprate parts are not correct

[unique zealot]

everything is difficult if you dont practice, modelling is no different

[patent jackal]

nah I like to have a good base that I can just adjust and stuff

but unsubdividing might make me give up tbh

[cursive ether]

sorry if this should be in discussion, but modland's antivirus scan is trusted right?

[brittle warren]

NO

[unique zealot]

modland isnt trusted also #mods-discussion

[cursive ether]

balright

[brittle warren]

You cant scan for viruses in java script and lua

[patent jackal]

if modland is in name its not trusted

[glad tree]

Although there are old mods lying in modland I am fixing

[cursive ether]

i didn't know modland is like voldemort sorry folks

[patent jackal]

lmao

[unique zealot]

you do you but you should try it eventually, making one from scratch

[brittle warren]

Its alll stolen mods and shit lol its just bad

[patent jackal]

I take these so I can learn the moddeling I have lots of thing I plan on making from scratch

[glad tree]

It takes a lot of time too

I actually tried modelling once

[patent jackal]

Ford Ranger and Cateye silverado being a couple

and the only..

[glad tree]

But shit is hard as fuck

[unique zealot]

practice

[brittle warren]

Modeling is fun imo i can make whatever i want staring from nothing

[patent jackal]

its not THAT bad

[unique zealot]

thats all i can say

texturing and jbeam are significantly harder than modelling

[glad tree]

And the problem is I dont have that much free time

I didnt do college study for 1 week

To work on this bison

[brittle warren]

One of my favorite models i made

[patent jackal]

im gonna restart pc its being slow ass balls

[glad tree]

Mine stopped totally

Btw I heard that one of the modland mods got gore

One of the recent ones

[brittle warren]

It did i belive it was removed tho

[glad tree]

Yes it is

Although after people reported

[brittle warren]

The admin for modland is actually kinda cool but hes one person so he cant verify everything

[glad tree]

Because it was there for like 3 days

[glad tree]

I think he should get some more people

To make modland trustable

[patent jackal]

Like IRL people gore?

[unique zealot]

beamng try not to fucking break textures challenge (impossible)

[glad tree]

Yes

[patent jackal]

ew I dont like anything outside of my computer

[glad tree]

I know that pain

[brittle warren]

Everytime i open the game something of mine didnt save lol

[unique zealot]

theres no reason to trust it, real cars should just be posted on the forums instead

[glad tree]

Although its rare

[glad tree]

Some cars are shit there too

Like there are few mods which are shit as fuck in forums

[brittle warren]

I mean shit and containing csam or viruses are very fdifferent

[patent jackal]

nah like in a gamer way ofc im gonna be disgusted by real gore tho

[glad tree]

Yeah

I have downloaded old mods till now and got no virus

[glad tree]

Its ok

I dont like gore either

[patent jackal]

Why is my .blend file brokey (Slow) it was alright before

[brittle warren]

Click the file button and click purge unused data it probably has a lot of random shit stored

[glad tree]

I remember one of the guys who was a modder and made shitty mods

[unique zealot]

whats that vulkan menu called where it shows the red or blue depending on the density of the model

[patent jackal]

like bro why

[glad tree]

He used to send cp in discord

[mortal python]

Does anyone know any good 5th gen Camaro mods by chance? Ones with the rally stripes to give it the Bumblebee look?

[patent jackal]

it had 5 data blocks

and get refrence photos or wing it 😭

[unique zealot]

both

[patent jackal]

Those good for a project like this?

[unique zealot]

yes but keep in mind they are never 100% accurate and only for reference

[patent jackal]

so something like this with each side?

[unique zealot]

more than 1 image at once ofc

[patent jackal]

ya but Im gonna start on side then add others in dont wanna bite more than I can chew

[unique zealot]

make sure to use the mirror modifier

[patent jackal]

I will just didnt adjust plane quite yet

why do you have a toilet plugner looking audio thingimajig

what is that meant to be

[glad tree]

I am thinking of copying the pickup jbeam into the already bad jbeam

[patent jackal]

Car

hmm I think its aligned good

this would be so much easier with another monitor

[patent jackal]

Where should I go from here everytime I try something it ruins it and I just go back

and it looks nothing like a corvette

kinda looks like a Daytona

Would be much easier todo tbh

but no

i hate to break it to you, youve made the first mistake by drawing the outline of the whole car

it doesnt work like that, for beam in particular, you model the shell then the panels & the drivetrain

[patent jackal]

nah im gonna split it after I want shape first

without 10k polys where there could be 1

[tacit halo]

Please watch a car modeling tutorial

[patent jackal]

alr

[tacit halo]

Yo don't do the outline then split it

You can start modeling in many places, I personally always do the roof and then go down

Treat the glass as a panel not as glass

[patent jackal]

should I delete the one I made or edit it

[brittle warren]

Bass knob lol

[patent jackal]

So I do this and then I go to another axis?

(Hood)

[unique zealot]

not whatever this is

like what lichi said, i would advise you to watch a vehicle tutorial

[patent jackal]

that was a quick loop cut

[patent jackal]

this is what it said todo \o/

[unique zealot]

post the video youre using

[patent jackal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py-amDTcrpI

Its got an annoying ass ai voice

[unique zealot]

yeah idk where its saying that

its also using subdivision

[unique zealot]

so how did that loopcut get this result

[patent jackal]

Right there it models the edge to edge of hood and then moves to second axis and adjusts

The loop cut curved like that

[unique zealot]

are you using subdivision?

[patent jackal]

I wasnt but I restarted with cleaner topo

[unique zealot]

use subdivision

[unique zealot]

you can delete some of the loopcuts, it'll basically fill it in

[fervent wind]

do yall trust modland

#mods-discussion and no

[patent jackal]

can remove a bit more but now do I swap axis?

[unique zealot]

you swap them throughout, not doing one face at a time

Hello

There's an engine mod for the old T-series, and I have a truck mod that uses the same truck's engine; they just changed the JBeam file name. What could I do to make the mod compatible?

The mod uses a Cummins engine, and it's already compatible with the old T-series, but I want to make it compatible with the other mod since they use the same engine, just with a different name!

[unique zealot]

the principle is the same

[modest shoal]

Thanks broo

[unique zealot]

and just a bit of advice, dont post the exact same question in every modding channel, it gets real annoying real quick

[modest shoal]

Oh, right, I just didn't want to be ignored, but anyway, the tutorial wasn't helpful. I followed the whole procedure and it's still the same; the mod doesn't work.

[cursive ether]

hey do any of you folks have a bmw m car mod? the forum doesn't have one that works

[jovial shadow]

Anyone of you know the name of the mod that goosiest uses sometimes?

Like that random car generator one?

[neat isle]

Anyone knows if inside the json file for a licenseplate mod, the line "patternData is mandatory to use or I should be able to remove it without any issue? {
"name" : "usernamemod",
"version": 1,
"data": {
"gen":{
"pattern" : "%c%c%c-%d%d%d",
"patternData":{ "nb":["A","B","C","1","2","3"]}
},

[ivory basin]

does anyone know why my tire does this? i fixed the no texture but one isnt far enough then one is way out there

[patent jackal]

Mod? also got no idea

(What mod or you making)

Is it that paid one?

The bison jbeam is a nightmare

[weary tangle]

you should usually model much lower poly, but use subdivision modifier, no?

[patent jackal]

idk im like a week or 2 into this

[brittle warren]

Subdivision is bad for beam unless your baking to a low poly mesh after

[patent jackal]

and most of it was editing other blends

[weary tangle]

if you keep it lower poly, it should be fine

its been quite a bit since i've modelled vehicles in blender (not for beamNG tho). But i do think modeling cars withouth subD is masochism

[brittle warren]

Its the fact that you have to think about the jbeam you cant have any dense areas in one spot and you cant have large spots with no jbeam close subdivision is okay but you would need to go back and adjust after to make sure your mesh deforms right.

hi, anybody here a skilled modder? or non skilled, as long as can help me out a little bit. the t90 tank mod is broken rn but I think it seems easy enough to fix. the machine gun has no keybinds to fire or turn or anything but there is customization, so how would i find the callbacks to acctions to fire the gun and add keybinds for that?

free to dm also

[brittle warren]

Look for an input actions file and the lua that responds to those keybinds would be in there then you can search for those functions i nthe lua

[cedar bramble]

Thank you! What would the input actions file be called?

hello guys i have one question

[unique zealot]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[cedar bramble]

i cant seem to find it the closest is an inputmaps folder with keyboard.json in it, but theres no callbacks to functions to fire machine gun or anything

Edit: nevermind i found it

[vale fulcrum]

i cant send photos

[cedar bramble]

ok so now some of my keybinds are working (smokebomb) but the machine gun still isnt working

i think maybe its cuz it has no ammo or doesnt know the command? idk tbh

[frozen nest]

Hi, I wanted to create an itasha, but I also want to paint on glass. I tried using blender but i think uv maps are messed up (i have no experience with blender so I dont even know what i'm doing). Do i have to brute force it by aligning art on windows texture separately to fit with main texture or is there a method with blender? Do you know any tutorials if they even exist? Or maybe dedicated discord server?

[cedar bramble]

does this formatting look right?

[cedar bramble]

i finally fixed it oh my fucking god

it took me 4 hours bruh

[cedar bramble]

It works a little bit

But I broke something else in the process

Apparently it’s missing an entire jbeam file that wasn’t a problem before now for some reason

[cedar bramble]

Okay I fixed that too

But now there’s another problem

Modding is hard bro 💔

[glad tree]

I cabt do the jbeam only

Like the nodes and boxes

[unreal badge]

Guys any nice car mods I want dailys

[tight shuttle]

Yo i have a question i wanna make something really simple as a mod such as like making an engine being able to rev at 12000 rpm

how i could do that?

[eager moss]

changing a few values in a jbeam file

[proper jewel]

or smth like being able to swap an engine from a car to another car model

[eager moss]

i think @royal crater has a yt tutorial on that

[proper jewel]

can i make it as a new engine? like a new option

so i keep all the original ones + the modded one i wanna make

[proper jewel]

Thanks mate
