[eager moss]

yea

copy over a jbeam file, rename it, change what u need to

[proper jewel]

Thanks

there is any tutorial for that to?

[eager moss]

ah not sure

[proper jewel]

i think i had just an small skill issue...

[sour cape]

how do the anti-lag sounds work in beam?
i made a mod for the cherrier i3 that has anti lag and the anti lag functions but it doesnt produce the popping noises

[eager moss]

what exactly did you do lol

[proper jewel]

i went to the engine file and wrote the whole new engine thing stuff

perhaps

something i may have touched (no idea what) and caused what it happened

[eager moss]

did you rename the engine file and put it in a mod folder?

[proper jewel]

so no idea how to fix what i brok now

[patent jackal]

nothing with an engine should do that.

[proper jewel]

i have skill issues

[patent jackal]

you have talent lol

[eager moss]

delete whatever file you created, and clear cache. go back to before you changed anything

[proper jewel]

lets say i couldnt find the mod file

[patent jackal]

that makes sense

[proper jewel]

folder*

[patent jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/mother-of-god-gif-10218431

[proper jewel]

no i mean the folder it didnt exist i just made it

[patent jackal]

oh

less bad

but where did you make it..

[eager moss]

get rid of whatever you changed, clear cache, and just start modding here. learn from scratch with whats easiest https://www.beamng.com/threads/tutorial-making-a-custom-part-for-a-vanilla-car.82050/

[patent jackal]

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current\mods

[eager moss]

then watch fillmans yt tutorial once ur good with that

[proper jewel]

Yikes, now i think i know what i did wrong

mmmm

so, if i make a new engine file, i just have to go and move it to "mods" folder right?

[eager moss]

not really

[proper jewel]

IM SO DUMB NOW I SEE WHY

God damn i lack braincells

[eager moss]

you'll need a folder in your mods folder called "unpacked", inside that goes any unzipped mods. so in unpacked, create a folder called whatever you want, for example "Breeks Parts", in that, create a "vehicles" folder, then in that a folder for whatever the codename for the vehicle you're editing is. for example for the d series, its "pickup" then in there you can put your new jbeam file

[proper jewel]

okey so if i do all that in the exact way. then i name the folder "bolide" i just have to slap the .jbeam file saing the whole engine stats?

oh also seems i duplicated the car files, im truly stupid somehow

ima just clear data and hope for the best

[eager moss]

In the bolide folder, put the jbeam file you copied. Rename that file both the actual file name, and in the file. This explains it https://www.beamng.com/threads/tutorial-making-a-custom-part-for-a-vanilla-car.82050/

[proper jewel]

understood, i will try that

Welp it still broken

ima copy and paste all my car custom settings and re-install the game and try to mod from 0

[eager moss]

Ok

[proper jewel]

btw sorry to annoy you but uh this are suposed to be all my car custom settings right?

[eager moss]

Show me the file path

[proper jewel]

"beang data" is where i told the game to put all the user files

[royal crater]

maybe watch this https://youtu.be/_b9p9POjQOk

[eager moss]

That saves everything you change when modding a car yes. And other stuff like car configuration files. Clear cache, and it will delete everything that may be causing problems in the whole “current” folder. If I were you, I would clear cache, and then after, copy and paste your whole current folder somewhere else, then reinstall the game. Then you can put the current folder back in after and itll have all your settings and configs

[proper jewel]

Thanks mate. i will watch it

[eager moss]

After you’ve reinstalled, and you’re ready to mod again, start off here. https://www.beamng.com/threads/tutorial-making-a-custom-part-for-a-vanilla-car.82050/

then move to fillmans tutorial, from my experience its a great tutorial, but start with the super duper easy one above. Its the absolute bare basics

[proper jewel]

Okey, i alr did the "clear cache" thing so i assume than after doing that then i can copy and paste all that and move it

Bet, thanks for the help to and my bad if i was a to annoying with the @

[eager moss]

Yes. Backup your whole current folder somewhere. Then reinstall, and then put back in the current folder, and your settings will be back

[proper jewel]

Alr installing everything back

i have a funny dumb idea

if i put the ETK V8 engin stats on the Scintillia V8

[sour cape]

im trying to figure out how to make audible anti-lag on another engine for the cherrier
can anyone help me?

ive found out that it is tied to the engine sound files themselves i just need to know how

[halcyon hollow]

What’s the beamnp download link?

[sour cape]

https://beammp.com/

[halcyon hollow]

Ok thx

[glad tree]

Okay so there is a problem now the bison suspension is such that wheels are not spawning in the proper place . Can anyone tell me where to chnage in the suspension jbeam

[royal crater]

wow thanks to the beamng devs for adding your editor to VSCodium! very appreciated. Fresh install, and was dreading this again lol

[royal crater]

there's a few reasons for why this will happen. 1 is nodeOffset which is on its slot in the parent part, and 2 is if those nodes are defined again in a child part.

There's other reasons why, but those are normally the main reasons

[glad tree]

So what shoudl I do like

[royal crater]

look?

[glad tree]

?

[unique zealot]

its so much better being able to see what you're doing visually with jbeam, only catch is its still incredibly tedious to do

i would prefer the blender one instead ngl

any tools, even for skins like #1465012119790424095 or the jbeam addons to make it easier, is welcome

[brittle warren]

I need to finish my addon for blender after I finish prox chat bullshit.

[unique zealot]

🙏

[unique zealot]

How much of it needs doing anyway?

[brittle warren]

Um mostly just need to organize everything and make it more readable. You can currently genereat a full jbeam with just a few options ticked but its kinda roughgt and convoluted

[unique zealot]

Fair enough

As long as it isn’t as tedious as it is right now, then itd do ok

[brittle warren]

Nah just gotta type stuff in where u want it and drag and drop node group[s and stuff its actually prety nice im not trynna brag but i like taht part the most lol

[unique zealot]

From what I’ve seen, you’ve earned that right lol

[brittle warren]

I still need to add the option to use components as they confuse me ad i havent learned them yet lol. Plus there is a bug breaking components right now apperently so dont want to till its fixed

[proper jewel]

Yo how do i find the Bolide 3.5L V8 engine file here?

[patent jackal]

it might have all engines in one file maybe

sec ill check

[proper jewel]

i think its like that, i opened it and it says all the engine options and its stats

[patent jackal]

Should be then

[proper jewel]

Bet

ima mod it, im alr wathing a tutorial and following it to not mess up

[patent jackal]

What are you trying to get from it?

[hybrid lichen]

Tragic the I-series mods rarely get any upkeep

[proper jewel]

Here is where i can rename the engine to?

[proper jewel]

Nothing, just make the car able to rev higher than usually does

[patent jackal]

Change it here

can be simalar but a little diffrent

for good luck itll prob work without

[proper jewel]

Bet thanks

MMMM how i make it appear here now?

[patent jackal]

show what file looks like in file manager

[patent jackal]

lower case ultra

just cause beamng picky randomly

and ctrl+r when thats done

[proper jewel]

so i remove the word "ultra"?

[patent jackal]

nah just make the U lower case

[proper jewel]

oh

ight done

[patent jackal]

works?

[proper jewel]

Nope

[patent jackal]

is the mod enabled

[proper jewel]

Yup

[brittle warren]

Did you ever actually change this name

[patent jackal]

and did you change this cause you cant change this

[proper jewel]

Nah i didnt touch that

[patent jackal]

didnt change this

needs something changed

[proper jewel]

ooo

[patent jackal]

add ultra

[proper jewel]

so i have to call it also ultra

[patent jackal]

yes

[proper jewel]

done

[brittle warren]

The name of the file and the name of the jbeam and the name name all have to be something that doesnt conflict wqith the base game

[proper jewel]

YES

Okey it appears

now how i tell the ECU that the rev limit i want is 12k now

or do i also have to modify the ecu stuff

[patent jackal]

send the ecu ill modify for you

ive done this exact thing before

(Send anyone but stock)

[proper jewel]

where i do find the ECU thing now

[patent jackal]

press ctrl+f in your editor (Notpad++ Visual Studios etc)

then type managment

and press find or whatever program says it can do

[proper jewel]

yeah it says it cant find it

[patent jackal]

oh alr

scroll down till you see something with ecu or managment (or try ctrl+f and search ecu)

"scintilla_engine_5.0_ecu": {
    "information":{

[indigo hare]

Need help from someone who knows map making! Having an issue.

So I made a new map using BeamNG Level Cleanup program to copy and rename East Coast USA to my map name so I could use those assets and textures. I have 100s of hours in this map now and I am to the point of cleanup.

I went to change the info.json file and now it's broken. Everything is the same, all I did was change the description, features, suitablefor, added my custom spawn point, and changed the preview pics.

Didn't change anything aside from the info.json and now my map is showing the grey missing preview image and only has default spawn point.

Before I changed the info.json, there were the stock ECUSA spawn points. I just renamed highway to mine and edited that single spawn point in the info.json.

Any ideas?

[proper jewel]

yeah it dosent appear, ig it will work if i remove it and paste?

[patent jackal]

I doubt thyat will change anything

worth a shot tho

[proper jewel]

imo ima just delete it

any way it was for learning

[patent jackal]

Alright

[proper jewel]

Tbh its fun, i made the i3 reach 321 hp

[proper jewel]

there is any way to disable engine damage?

[patent jackal]

There is but I dont know how sorry

[proper jewel]

Ight ty ty

i found how

[proper jewel]

nice

managed to make the scintillia V8 reach 8500 rpm

[patent jackal]

👍

[vivid bane]

Guys I'm new to modding in beamng. Is there a good way to create a new Bruckell Race wheels set in a different color? (Bronze)

I tried changing the DDS files in Gimp, but just can't get a good results. Either the color is off, the roughness or something else, but it doesn't look good. Was wondering if there is an easier way or just need to get better at Gimp

[tacit halo]

save as .color.png, let the game convert it to dds

you are probably just exporting it wrong

[vivid bane]

i was exporting it as dds - i'll try to save is as png and see if that gives better results

[tacit halo]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/materials/texture_cooker/

[patent jackal]

It had problems when I exported as dds idk why so I just reuse beam files now

[whole scarab]

anyone knows why driver camera works on freeroam but not in career mod? i got rls overhaul

[safe parrot]

Does anyone know which mod they are using for these acceleration pads?
https://youtube.com/shorts/ykx1wfDIYV8?si=_W1OuWCGVjPhIbCs

[proper jewel]

yo anyone knows how i can change a car engine sound?

or how i can swap the engine idk from an ETK to a Civetta

[sacred arch]

@tacit halo i need some help if you can, im making fender exits for the bastion. And im struggling with it. ive gotten the models and all of that together but its the jbeam exhaust routing thats throwing me for a loop because of the way that the exhausts work flow wise. any advice ?

[tacit halo]

My only advice it's that it's 3am so I can't help

[sacred arch]

what part of the world are you in? my bad bro

[tacit halo]

GMT+1

[cursive ether]

hey is royal renderings trusted when it comes to their patreon?

[proud solstice]

the quality is pretty poor given the price

[cursive ether]

is it more of their crash physics or their actual modeling/sounds

[proud solstice]

sounds are good because they're made by someone else, the 3d modeling is poor for beamng standards and the deformation quality is also poor

the models are way too high poly (because they're ripped off games such as csr and carx)

[cursive ether]

ah, do they offer anything for free on their patreon? I assume not but might aswell ask

[proud solstice]

don't think so

[cursive ether]

got it, sorry im new to beamng and i really want some real cars, their s650 is what caught my eye originally

[proud solstice]

the s650 is pretty bad, and it on top of that it also destroys fps

the fps booster also makes you unable to use any kind of openable so

[cursive ether]

i run 400 on high graphics* so i wouldn't mind going to medium/ low if i have to

[proud solstice]

this helps visualize my points (this mod is lower quality than the s650 though but it shares a decent bunch of the issues) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9tDAtsu4EU

[cursive ether]

watching right now, thx for letting me know btw big dawg

[proud solstice]

I also tested these mods myself so I talk from experience, which is also shared by others as well

[cursive ether]

so you're saying you have the mod files......

jk yeah i see the issues with the m4 at least

idk im not huge into details, st least not yet, so i mean i don't really mind all what he complained about, although a lot of it was valid arguments

wait is the porsche 992 a rr mod?

[proud solstice]

I nuke them out of my pc after I'm done with taking them apart

not worth keeping around as they're largely etks with another 3d model on top, I'd rather drive the k and 800 series at that point because they also have mod support

[cursive ether]

got it, are there any modders you would reccomend?

for realistic cars at least

[proud solstice]

lj, theo/finn wilkinson, overpower

they're more or less the best modders in their respective niche

[cursive ether]

got it, also sorry to bug but is the 992 an rr mod?

[proud solstice]

results speak by themselves, theo's ccf is the top rated mod in the official site of all times

[proud solstice]

yeah he made one, it's pretty low quality though

[cursive ether]

oh i have a 92 modpack downloaded but it;s from the forums so idk if it's his

[proud solstice]

there's another free 992 but it's far worse

[cursive ether]

mines is a 2018-2023 porsche 911 (922, 922.2) mod

[wooden glen]

hi everyone, does anyone have a mod for no good racing civic?
I've been looking for a mod like this to play with my friends for a long time.
if anyone has it, I would really appreciate it if you could share it with me

[cursive ether]

are you wanting a racing civic or just a regular civic

[wooden glen]

I just need the vinyl for my Civic

It's also called Osako konju

[cursive ether]

i don't think i have anything like that, if you want to you can check the forums though in pined

[wooden glen]

I can't send a photo unfortunately

[cursive ether]

you should be able to

[wooden glen]

if you have such a mod, I will be happy to record a video for you

[cursive ether]

i have a mod that is just a regular honda civic, but it's an older one and it's not very good for racing if you'd like

[cursive ether]

https://beamng.com/threads/the-irl-cars-mod-list-for-v0-38-17-02-2026-update.102506/ here's a thread that links mods on the official website

[wooden glen]

I need a specific mod.

[wooden glen]

That's it

no good racing

I can't believe that there's no no good racing mod for this Civic

It will be very sad if it doesn't

[cursive ether]

@proud solstice do you know of any free truck mods, a duramax would be awesome

[proud solstice]

not into trucks

[cursive ether]

can i dm you? if you dont mind ofc

[proud solstice]

what for

[cursive ether]

i was gonna ask if you had any mods for sale but i see it;s a server rule to not ask

[proud solstice]

they're in my bio

[cursive ether]

ah ty

uhh do you know anyone that makes high quality irl mods? paid is fine but free is perferred obviously

[proud solstice]

lj, bdr, rcc

[cursive ether]

i checked the previous folks youve mentioned but they seemsed to make more lore accurate

[proud solstice]

and dennis w

[wooden glen]

Unfortunately, no, I came here myself to ask someone about this vinyl, just in case someone has it.

[cursive ether]

i was asking john but ur all good, id go into the mods discussion tab to check

[proud solstice]

you aren't really going to find many good real car mods btw

[cursive ether]

damn

i don't mind if they're kinda poorly detailed like that m4 was, i could look past that as i just enjoy driving in 3rd person mainly, but if you mean like really really shit quality then that sucks

[wooden glen]

Thank you

[toxic widget]

I can drop a similar mod, but it's for an old machine

[proud solstice]

https://www.beamng.com/threads/the-irl-cars-mod-list-for-v0-38-17-02-2026-update.102506/ there's this but the quality is all over the place, few are very good but most are ok to mediocre

[cursive ether]

yeah ive downloaded a lot from there but there are a lot more cars im interested in

[wooden glen]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/kanjo.12840/

[proud solstice]

if they aren't there might as well call them nonexistent

[cursive ether]

damn, that's unfortunate

[wooden glen]

I'm more inclined to do this reluctantly.

[cursive ether]

do you have any chargers you'd be willing to share the files of, non paid ofc

[proud solstice]

I don't really use real car mods mainly because most suck to begin with

[cursive ether]

alr that's all good

[wooden glen]

What do you think about this mod, is there a chance that there's a similar mod for a normal Civik?

[wooden glen]

I've scoured the entire Google search engine, and I can't find the right mod anywhere except for this one.

[cursive ether]

you could always make your own model for the outside of it and put a new engine in it, it would take a while but im sure it'd be worth it, or comission it from someone else

[wooden glen]

I don't have any money, unfortunately, or I need to know how much it will cost

I was using a blender to try to make car stickers myself

but it's very difficult, and it takes a long time to learn and understand anything.

if you have any people who can make such a model for free or for money, you can give them to us.

but it's probably going to be very expensive, so we'll just have to wait for someone to remember the no good racing team and make a mod for my Civic.

[wooden glen]

Okay friends, thanks a lot for your help.

[proper jewel]

hey where i can find the ETK car engine files

i cant find em at all.

[mighty schooner]

what do i change for the turbo to spool up slower?

Can anyone tell me that how should a jbeam of a car be made like

I cant even understand how do they make this

Is there a mod that adds a Suzuki alto

Or something similar

[sacred arch]

A moment of your time if you will

[tacit halo]

sure

ask

[sacred arch]

I have zero issues with any of the RR mods. What’s your setup

[tacit halo]

they are just badly optimized

[proud solstice]

r7 5700x, rx 6650xt, 32gb ram, 2tb nvme

[tacit halo]

like not unplayable since ihave 5070, but the drop on FPS is much bigger compared to other mod cars

I’m trying to make a fender exit on the bastion using the in game architecture and it’s throwing me for a loop bro. I’ve modeled everything already out just getting the exhaust smoke and everything to come from the right place. It’s really weird the way the exhaust fit that car is set up

[tacit halo]

is your exhaust path correct

show jbeam

and the isExhaust true section of the code

[sacred arch]

I have a R7-7800x3d, 7900xtx, 96gigs of ram, and like 7tb of m.2 space so it makes sense why you’re having issues compared to me

[proud solstice]

spawning 5 t series in gives me comparable performance loss to one rr car

[tacit halo]

bro u RICH or what

[sacred arch]

I’ll pull it up now, I’ve made it “work” before but I don’t want to have it setup in a way where if somebody uses my engine but not my exhaust smoke comes from the wrong places. That could be a problem

[proud solstice]

well it's clear why you have zero performance issues

[sacred arch]

You said it, not me

[tacit halo]

thats like a 3000€ gaming pc

[sacred arch]

I tune cars irl lol that money goes straight into my pc 😂😂😂

[tacit halo]

most people play this game with sub 1000€ computers

so if your car performs as bad as 5 t series at the same time you are doing something wrong

[sacred arch]

It didn’t start like this lol this thing has been upgraded so much over the years

[tacit halo]

so even more expensive then

[proud solstice]

fun thing btw
the 5 t series do not tank my ui fps like one rr mod does

[sacred arch]

😭😭😂

[sacred arch]

That’s a fancy way to say wasted money

[tacit halo]

im speaking from experience

r3 3100 to 7 5800x and 5500xt to rtx5070

[sacred arch]

lol I got the ram and processor for 400 from a guy on Facebook 😂

I’m cheap I HUNT for deals

[tacit halo]

oh i do everything new

i do not like spending big money on used computer parts

one of my rams developed a bad sector so i do have lifetime warranty and i am gonna get it RMAd

you cant do that if its second hand

[sacred arch]

I used too, but after my first expensive build I was like imma do a budget build and this thing is a champ

[tacit halo]

i hope this is my last pc

as in i dont want to ever buy a complete upgrade

[sacred arch]

I had warranties thru micro center but once it’s up I said f it imma see what I can do

[sacred arch]

At this point all we have to do is upgrade, the hard part is done

[tacit halo]

i wanna change the PSU to be slightly better and i do need to replace the 2tb hdd that died and got replaced with 500gb one from a broken computer someone gave me

[tacit halo]

lights

waste of money

[proud solstice]

I wouldn't trust myself with such amount of glass

[sacred arch]

Yup lol money pit for sure

[tacit halo]

its also open

not all glass

[sacred arch]

I’ve had zero problems honestly. I’ve ran it like this for 5 years

[tacit halo]

big no no my cat would destroy it

[sacred arch]

Oddly my dogs look at it and walk away 😂😂😂

[sacred arch]

I’m firing everything up now so I can show you the files, would you rather me post it here or DM it to you

[tacit halo]

here

[proud solstice]

I have no pets but dust is my #1 enemy

[tacit halo]

if the vaccum we have breaks (the plastic i mean, ive already welded the plastic that connects to the tube once) i want to open it up, reverse the fan and make myself an "air compressornt"

[tacit halo]

oh i thought you were gonna send screenshots

[sacred arch]

ive been trying to figure it out. the way the mufflers and everything is setup is throwing me for a loop lol

[sacred arch]

i can, were all friends here lol ill leak my own stuff idc

[tacit halo]

this is what you need to care about

it needs to make a correct path from engine header node to the last one

[sacred arch]

thats what i struggle with, the idea was to have the dump come stright off the turbo and point down

[tacit halo]

also if your enigne has 2 header nodes it might be complicated

unless you have 2 exits

the game sometimes bugs doing 2to1

[sacred arch]

i wanted to delete it but last time i did it i broke it

[tacit halo]

the direction the beam between the 2 last exhaust nodes in the chain is what controls the direction

[sacred arch]

so should i get rid of one of the header nodes to make it easier?

[tacit halo]

does your engine have 2 header nodes ?

but this only applies if your engine is shooting smoke from random places

[midnight basalt]

I need help getting iyb off road semi working again

[sacred arch]

yup, i used the ingame 6.5 and just made some changes to it

[tacit halo]

then yeah thats most likely your issue

theres probably a way to make it work

i just dont know it

[sacred arch]

im going to try to figue it out but if not it is what it is. I made a lua for it where it misfires based on fuel, hp, injectors, its pretty sick

[sacred arch]

whats the command to make the turbo prop spin off turbo speed again? i want to test something

[tacit halo]

i dont know that off the top of my head

might be turboSpin

[sacred arch]

imma double check, in my mind youre a dev lmao

[vivid bane]

Guys, I've managed to create a new variant of the Bruckell Race wheels which is Bronze - ish. I got the new files in the mod folder, so I've not overwritten any game files, but now all the Bruckell Race wheel variants are bronze.

I have created new jbeam files for the bronze wheels i made, but I don't know how to make them use the custom DDS files. So far I've tried renaming the DDS files from bruckell_wheel_04a_b.color.dds to bruckell_wheel_04a_bronze_b.color.dds. That does fix the original in-game variants, but the new one I made doesn't recognise that it needs to use that name. (im guessing)

[sacred arch]

you were 100% right, thanks bro!

[toxic widget]

[tacit halo]

can you paste the flexbody section of the jbeam here

[vivid bane]

"flexbodies": [
        ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
        ["bruckell_wheel_04a_20x11", ["wheel_FR","wheelhub_FR"], [], {"pos":{"x":-0.5, "y":-0.0, "z":0.0}, "rot":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":180}, "scale":{"x":1, "y":1, "z":1}}],
        ["bruckell_wheel_04a_20x11", ["wheel_FL","wheelhub_FL"], [], {"pos":{"x": 0.5, "y":-0.0, "z":0.0}, "rot":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":0},   "scale":{"x":1, "y":1, "z":1}}],
    ],

[tacit halo]

you need to create a new materials file
call it whateveryouwant.materials.json

inside that, copy the original material of the wheel , and replace the baseColor texture with yours

"flexbodies": [
        ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
        ["bruckell_wheel_04a_20x11", ["wheel_FR","wheelhub_FR"], [], {"pos":{"x":-0.5, "y":-0.0, "z":0.0}, "rot":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":180}, "scale":{"x":1, "y":1, "z":1},"materialOverride":[["originalmaterialName","newMaterialName"]]}],
        ["bruckell_wheel_04a_20x11", ["wheel_FL","wheelhub_FL"], [], {"pos":{"x": 0.5, "y":-0.0, "z":0.0}, "rot":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":0},   "scale":{"x":1, "y":1, "z":1},"materialOverride":[["originalmaterialName","newMaterialName"]]}],
    ],

then set the originalmaterialName to the material the wheel regularly uses
and newMaterialName to the clone youve made with a different texture assigned

[vivid bane]

For the originalMaterialName and the newMaterialName do you mean the file name?

[tacit halo]

no

the material itself

you copy this from the original wheel, change the name here and the texture assigned as baseColor

ofc it will have more stuff than this this is just a temporary material

[vivid bane]

Thank so much bro! Working perfect now.

@glad tree

my modeling skills have improved

[glad tree]

I mean where they got like the lights

[patent jackal]

oh this from a mod?

[glad tree]

Agents yakuza mod

Like where he got the lights from

[tacit halo]

Well probably from the Yakuza game

But you can just do that

[glad tree]

Oh I didnt know there was a game of yakuza

[tacit halo]

You just need good uv packing skills

[tacit halo]

There's multiple

[glad tree]

But cars here are different

So its difficult to know and to be true like they were all set in a photo and I dont know how did he got the exact photos which will fit the brakelights, indicators on, etc

[glad tree]

I found itd from Ryu gotuku 6

[tacit halo]

Those aren't photos they are textures

[glad tree]

I understood

[tacit halo]

You can simulate light and save it to a texture

[glad tree]

But I mean how is he getting it

[glad tree]

Like I have brakelights so I need a texture of it on

How to do that

[tacit halo]

He's either getting them from the game he got the models for, or baking them himself

[tacit halo]

I can't easily explain

It took me a week to make my first good light textures

And I've done it multiple times with crappy results before

[glad tree]

Nice

So how did you apply it

[ebon tangle]

😭

[glad tree]

I know I am asking a lot

But I am myself trying to make a mod

😭

So I cant understand these things

[unique zealot]

just a week? doesn't seem too bad, what could possibly go wrong

[tacit halo]

Bro

I've been modding for nearly 5 years and this still took me a week of trying

It's not something you can "apply"

[tacit halo]

Well maybe more since I did do a few tweaks to it

Still a week just to make light textures

[glad tree]

I mean cah you tell how u got the texture

Like atleast how you made them

I need an idea

[tight shuttle]

this? looks like an atlas for a bunch of meshes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_atlas

even if that specific texture is from another game, native beam textures work the same way

all the parts that share a material (light glass, light internals, engine parts, chassis/body, interior, etc.) are uv unwrapped onto a single square/rectangular area

and the textures are usually "baked" instead of drawn on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping#Baking

[tacit halo]

Well I modeled the light reflectors in a realistic way so the emissive bulbs would make the light reflections look realistic, I also made normal maps for both the headlights and twilight's and baked both the lighting in the housing and glass, I then also baked the glass basecolor with the same technique but with no emissive bulbs and a light gray environment so the unlit glass isn't completely one color, since beaming doesn't have refraction, you need to use this method to make it look like that

[proper jewel]

yo i have a question, i can add more engines inside of a mod or i can only add just 1

[unique zealot]

yes

[heavy coral]

anyone got a corolla ke70 that i can get

[misty walrus]

No

[heavy coral]

yes

ok

[neon crater]

Hopefully it’s not a Modland mod tho

[glad tree]

What should I name the material

Its a headlight

[cerulean hollow]

is there any mod that adds smth akin to a fairlady z

like the 240 or 280

[glad tree]

Thank you @tacit halo

[tacit halo]

hey please ignore this guy

they are a scammer
do NOT pay them money

[glad tree]

What happened

Few people here dmed me a server link where they make you models but its paid

[tacit halo]

theres a lot of people that have "dev" in their name that always say "check dm" or "go to dm" to basically act as a modder and commision scam you

most of them all scams

do they have like weird fonts names and emojis in the server name

[glad tree]

One guy dmed me and told that he is from beamng official dev team

[weary tangle]

its unreal how common these scammers are

[tacit halo]

@buoyant sable banish this fool please

[glad tree]

Shoulf I tag one of them?

[brittle warren]

I mean the first bit of advice is good lol the emoji makes it seem ai tho lol

[glad tree]

He left

[glad tree]

They actually give you a sever link to join

Where you have to pay to make models

[buoyant sable]

Okay.

[brittle warren]

Finally i finnally got audio issues fixed so this is a little teaser to prx chat. Waiting for some friends to go in game to test and give a real video.

[tacit halo]

where you pay to get nothing, they are scammers

[glad tree]

I see

Should I tag one of them here?

[tacit halo]

for what

[glad tree]

To have them removed?

[tacit halo]

just send a screenshot of the scam discord links and their @ or user id to a mod

[glad tree]

Ok

I dmed

[vivid bane]

Is there an easier way to find files in the game? Currently what I've been doing is just look at all the files and folders under content and hope to find what I'm looking for. Wondering if there is an easier way to find a specific part. For example I'm currently looking for the transmission on the bastion engine.

It does say this on the slots section of the engine ["bastion_transmission","bastion_transmission_8A", "Transmission"] but idk where to go from there

[brittle warren]

You can open the vechile editor with control + f11 and then click apps and then static then vehicle details i believe then it will show where every jbeam is and model related to it.

[vivid bane]

Thanks, that's really useful!

Hey I don't know how I got to it the first time, but I just tried to open it again and can't find it anymore. Where can I find the apps you mentioned?

[brittle warren]

Should be control f11 or shift f11 i cant remember rn

[vivid bane]

oh yeah its shift + f11 (i was trying ctrl + f11) but now for some reason when i click static the window just disappears

[brittle warren]

That i am not sure about it should open a small bar at the top of the screen

[vivid bane]

Seems like a bug tbh - the small bar at the top of the screen is there but the only option on it is to exit the vehicle details thingy

[potent portal]

Why is modding both fucking impossible and the simplest thing I've ever done?

At the same time

I feel yea this is one of my .js files with 5000 lines iof code just for proxemety chat lol

[young gate]

is it possible to make a lua script where it will detect if you have equip a specific part on a car, if so, it will unequip any part in a different slot?

[shut pollen]

probably, i thought that was half the point of slots2. dont think that functionality actually worked the last time i checked though

[steady snow]

Does anyone know why some of my car mods don't show up in rls?

[rancid wedge]

Can 100% relate. Probably comes from the fact that the game is complex by nature but the devs try their hardest to make modding easy. So some parts guide you along, while other parts just have to be how they are

[rancid wedge]

I don't know any lua so I usually arrange the slots so that they can't possibly both be installed (as long as I don't depend on vanilla parts). Also if lua uninstalls parts that will also confuse people I think

You can also use components to change one of the jbeams to at least not cause instability (like moving nodes or changing beam values when both are installed). Depends on what your parts actually do ofc

Hi

[proper ivy]

Hey, so I had the delusional idea to create a mod, which allows for a vehicle to adopt multiple Body Styles. I think I found the correct files I had to change and the correct lines of code, but when checking if the mod actually works, literally nothing had changed in-game... I got to the point where I forced an error in the lua file inside the mod and nothing happened in Beam either. Obviously the game isn't reading my files, but does anybody know why?
btw I checked names of the files and they match 1:1, also this is the path to the modded files: current\mods\unpacked\dimbo_multibody\lua\ge\extensions\ui\vehicleSelector

[tacit halo]

if you are a begginer, i reccomend using VSC since that has a extension that has proper syntax highlighting for jbeam files

or at least use JSON syntax in np++

[brittle warren]

which allows for a vehicle to adopt multiple Body Styles

What does this even mean other than the car has a 2 door 4 door and other varients? Like what exactly are you trying to do with lua in the fist place.

[unique zealot]

im not sure it would work with lua alone anyway

since it would be trying to call models that dont possibly exist

[proper ivy]

For example the ETK 800-Series has both Sedan and Wagon bodies. In the vehicle selector it appears only when you click the filter "Wagon". My idea is that it appears with both Sedan and Wagon filters

[unique zealot]

ok i get it now

[proper ivy]

Also I am an idiot, please excuse me. Just checked and I am totally wrong, it appears even when the filter is only 'Sedan'

[brittle warren]

That would jsut need editing the info.json wouldnt it?

[proper ivy]

That's what I initially thought, but adding an array with "Sedan", "Wagon" does not place the vehicle under both Sedan and Wagon categories, instead it creates a new field in the filters called table: 0x02... and then the position of the array in the files.

But either way, I had just not noticed that the 800 is there, and I am sorry

[brittle warren]

All good lol i looked at it and the configs info file is the one that determines wagon/sedan and its per config not the main info.json

[proper ivy]

Oh, thank you so much! This would help me so much in other projects

Obviously they’re gonna be outdated..

Watch out people in here will crucify you for having a branded mod

lol that’s alright, if I wanted praise I’d make some weird European car no one wants

[little portal]

More likely to be crucified for the grill being a mesh

[brittle warren]

Hey at lesast all the actual detail on the things is a texture ad not modeled lol

[unique zealot]

that is genuinely so cool though, just not the cars theyre on

[unique zealot]

exactly, thats what makes it cool

[proud solstice]

my bigger complain is it seems like the grille is modeled and not a texture

[unique zealot]

not the only thing modelled instead of being a texture

[proud solstice]

🥀

[little portal]

Meh this is fine

[vale mulch]

I think they can cope. There is over 4000 parts on this mod and it’s only 370mb

[brittle warren]

I mean i want badges to look real an not like a sticker i want shadows like irl

[little portal]

Yup

[little portal]

4000??

[unique zealot]

that seems... pretty high

[vale mulch]

Closer to 3800 I think

[brittle warren]

Its also 2 dif trucks so some things are slightly different but use the same base so more parts are expected

[crystal wraith]

😭😭😭😂😭😭

[vale mulch]

You’d be correct, that is a lot of parts

[unique zealot]

wtf even are they lmao

[vale mulch]

There’s the option to change each individual light bulb on the headlights, aswell as EVERY oem option that came on the trucks

I own one irl so I had to do it justice

[unique zealot]

unless the whole point was to make a fully detailed mod as a showcase, is there even a point to that?

[little portal]

He is free to do what he wants to it lol

[vale mulch]

I just detail. The whole reason this mod has so many parts is because I’ll sit there and think of something i want on my irl truck, then I’d go and make it, model it, texture it, etc. then it would be in game since the real work was already over lol

[unique zealot]

fair enough

[vale mulch]

Here is all the center buttons, (last ones are changeable due to different specs)

[unique zealot]

dont show royal renderings that or any of the paid real car modders

[vale mulch]

Why lol

[unique zealot]

they'd steal it and pass it off as their own idea

and charge half a game per month for it lol

[proud solstice]

bold of you to assume they can do uv mapping

[unique zealot]

lmao

[vale mulch]

Royal renderings has improved a lot since his truck mod days I gotta say. That mustang is gnarly

[proud solstice]

meh, it's still more or less the same but with more gimmicks on top to me

[unique zealot]

youve got that video if the lag it causes too

[proud solstice]

it's still an etk underneath, same exact suspension yoinked from it

[vale mulch]

I’ve never seen lag with his mods

Could be just me tho idk

[proud solstice]

...and what specs do you have?

[unique zealot]

this one

[proud solstice]

because last time someone said that to me their pc was at least 3x as expensive with nowadays prices

[faint bison]

well it is unoptimized

its fancy but unoptimized

[proud solstice]

the screens and/or other gimmicks tank my fps, the fps booster fixes it but like it doesn't make sense now lol

Just stick to this website https://www.beamng.com/threads/the-irl-cars-mod-list-for-v0-37-22-11-2025-update.102506/

[bleak laurel]

first to not get virus you can stop downloading from modland and use the beamng reposotory

[eager moss]

Virus free

[green fern]

i like driving with irl cars

[proud solstice]

see above

[green fern]

i dowloaded one mod from modland

[proud solstice]

this misconception of real cars not existing in the official site needs to stop

repo =/= forums

[bleak laurel]

theres is irl cars in the reposotory and forums

[green fern]

i have got like alot of irl cars on repo

[proud solstice]

well go enjoy them then, it doesn't get better outside of select mods

[eager moss]

Just get off modland. Listen to us. Just don’t use it. Use these mods. Has every single reliable free real car mod linked. https://www.beamng.com/threads/the-irl-cars-mod-list-for-v0-37-22-11-2025-update.102506/

[green fern]

like i got like 30 irl cars from repo

[bleak laurel]

should be enough 🤷

[green fern]

i only got the volvo v60 i think from modland but i found it in forums

[bleak laurel]

just dont use modland its the best way to get a virus

[eager moss]

Well DEFINITELY don’t download it.

If its on the forums, the modland post is likely a reuploaded virus infected version

[eager moss]

This should be end of discussion

[green fern]

like some youtuber like simulater avunturs linked that forum in his vid for the mod

[proud solstice]

truth nuke

[eager moss]

Yea. The forums. Get it off forums. WHY would you download it off modland. If its available forums

[eager moss]

simulater avunturs 😭

[green fern]

the owner of the mod was had it on modland or somthing

[spice meteor]

Hey everyone! I have created a custom decal road but it overlaps with the default BeamNG made decal road. I am making a custom race mission and i want the AI to follow my custom decal road ONLY. Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance!

[thick mesa]

I kinda wanna do a really basic version of the cluster for the scout

[green fern]

is there more irl cars

[eager moss]

Only paid

Thats the only place u should get free ones

[stable fox]

I have a materials file but the materials file isn't applying to the objects. The objects and the material file are in the same folder

[thick mesa]

Might base it off this asw

[unique zealot]

You don’t really need to post an update with every addition you made to it

[junior sparrow]

Hey, I am trying to make an hybrid hypercar
but...

Is there any core string that is connected to % of battery itself?
I mean the same as the fuel one

I've searched whole documentation and I found nothing about that

OR I need to make it myself because there is no Beam vanilla hybrid car?

[patent jackal]

How would I go about getting a mod of the repo (ment to be a forum but legit had no idea what the diffrence was until they put the mod on repo lol)

[green fern]

how much are paid ones and can you show me where

is phaien a trusted modder like i can dowload from him without getting viruses

[brittle warren]

Virus probably not but from what i hear in here they dont make good mods.

[green fern]

i have like 2 of his mods and both of them are very good

[ebon tangle]

His mods are kinda ahh

Jbeam isnt the best and the materials are godawful

[little portal]

looks good ≠ actually good

[silent pendant]

his mods are ass

[blazing harbor]

No vanilla car has a hybrid system but I believe some mods made it functional

[cursive ether]

Is Blazerng trusted with his mod download links from his youtube that take you to modsfire? obviously i know no place can be 100% trusted but i just wanted to know.

[crystal wraith]

They’re all decent mods but they’re leaked

The ones that re modsfire are leaked

[cursive ether]

does them being leaked heighten the chance of them being unsafe? or is it just like unethical to download leaked mods? im really new to beamng so idrk

[ebon tangle]

Its just unethical

[brittle dune]

is it possible to create something like that for ht-55

[cursive ether]

got it, i think ill pass on them then and just comission a render

[ebon tangle]

Yeah its possible noones gonna do it for u tho

[brittle dune]

i just need to learn how it works and how to do it

[cursive ether]

also with modsfire is it known to be like modland with tons of unsafe mods or is it more secure? Im just looking for a charger mod and this guy seems to have a pretty good one that he claims to have made himself

[ebon tangle]

Modland is mostly people reuploading shit for cash

[brittle warren]

So is modsfire. When people use your download link they get paid

[cursive ether]

so what would be the best way to get irl car mods that aren't listed on the forums? or am i kinda just shit outta luck here

[brittle warren]

Its pretty much a hit or miss on real car mods

[cursive ether]

that's unfortunate

[silent pendant]

out of luck

[silent pendant]

also modland isnt safe overall its moderation is horrible

[cursive ether]

i was talking about modsfire here

[silent pendant]

i know but you mentioned modland

[cursive ether]

looks like i better get to commissioning

[brittle warren]

Also the scanned for viruses thing is a straight lie because you arent scanning a zip file for lua viruses that take data its just not a thing thats really possible rn.

[cursive ether]

yeah i know modland isn't safe i was wondering if modsfire was the same way

[cursive ether]

assumed

[brittle warren]

MOdsfire is the same as modland both just shit reupload platforms. Most modland links take you to modsfire to download.

[silent pendant]

any mod that takes you to modsfire isnt worth downloading

[cursive ether]

oh, yeah ive not used either to download mods so far but all of my friends have so i was wondering if either was safe, which i see that neither are

[silent pendant]

although good luck on this people that do commissions for beamng are very few and far between cause of the work it takes to make a quality vehicle mod in this game

and watch out for scams

[cursive ether]

how much are comms usually? i was willing to pay 900-1000 but idk what a fair price is really

[silent pendant]

us currency?

[cursive ether]

yup

[brittle warren]

https://klipy.com/gifs/the-needle-drop-anthony-fantano

[silent pendant]

thats probably what it would cost to have someone do it for ya

[little portal]

lol

[brittle warren]

Pretty much think of paying an employye hourly and then imagine them building a whole car. Very expensive

[cursive ether]

money isn't really the issue im kinda just more worried about the time it would take

[silent pendant]

it would take a while

[cursive ether]

oh

[brittle warren]

Good mod worth paying for == Probably a year.

[cursive ether]

WHAT

[brittle warren]

Modding isnt easy lol or fast

[cursive ether]

do you think i could hire multiple modders to work on the same car?

[silent pendant]

no

[cursive ether]

lame

but understandable

[silent pendant]

i mean thats physically possible but nobodys gonna actually do it

[cursive ether]

i see

[unique zealot]

and if anyone approaches you claiming theyre a modder after this conversation, its guaranteed to be a scam, especially if they advertise a lot of shit and have zero messages here

[cursive ether]

yeah I planned on searching for modders with good rep

[unique zealot]

but you are the first to have a somewhat better budget for a comissioned mod vs everyone that comes here asking for a mod to be made lol

[brittle warren]

I love how so many people claim ot be thesed magic modders. If so where are all the good mods we barely have any

[unique zealot]

@cursive ether since you mentioned that, my best advice would be to save that money up

idk how old you are or if you are learning to drive or whatever, but keep it into your savings

[cursive ether]

17 and i have a lot of that allowance in my savings

i did spend a lot of it on my car tbf

[tacit halo]

you will now get like 50 odd people who have never sent messages in this server asking for commisions

if anyone dms you about a commision, either ask here if they legit or ignore them

[tepid hound]

chat, should i make my car configs into a mod? there's like 20 of them, and it needs at least 32 mods for them all to work, but i think it's pretty high quality

[spice meteor]

Hello! Anyone knows how i can replace the default BeamNG decal road with a custom made? Both seem to overlap but i want the AI to recognise my own custom decalroad and not the default one. How could i do this in my mod?

[upbeat robin]

why is my prefab so far from where i created it? and how i fix

[green fern]

dose anyone know any good mods

[brave hedge]

nope

[regal latch]

Thats because of the scenetree hierarchy. Objects created within sim groups are relative to them. So when you create your scene and then want to prefab a certain part that is not in the root group then it wont remember the scenetree. The solution is to add it as a child to the same place where you had created the prefab from

[upbeat robin]

ok, thank you

[eager moss]

Phaien makes some decent stuff now.

He used to be a lot worse.

[eager moss]

What specific type of cars do you want

[green fern]

anything good and rather irl cars and alot of engines

[tacit halo]

bro phaien used to be a lot worse but hasnt really improved

[green fern]

the amg one is good

[tacit halo]

i think he made that veyron recently which had the engine stuff stolen from innocent, sounds too, the car was too slow, the car had like Horrible mpg even by hypercar standards and i think the aero was ultra messed up too

[eager moss]

Well idk all i know is from the free mods of his I’ve had they aint too bad 🤷‍♂️

[eager moss]

@tacit halo do you have a list of the good paid modders or something?

[tacit halo]

no irl car modders i know

[eager moss]

Ah

[green fern]

is there free mods that are irl cars you know or engines mods

[bleak laurel]

CEEP

HBM

[green fern]

rather free bc i have 0.02 dollars

[tacit halo]

i think theres a list pinned somewhere in here or in #mods-discussion

of free irl cars

[eager moss]

Idk tbh dont pay for anything but offroad stuff

Free https://www.beamng.com/threads/the-irl-cars-mod-list-for-v0-37-22-11-2025-update.102506/

[bleak laurel]

[proud solstice]

[proud solstice]

poor jbeam, awful handling and tuning and stolen models

[green fern]

whats jbeam

[proud solstice]

the very thing car physics are made of

if you don't know what this is then you can't really say the mods are good

[green fern]

how can i dowload the mod withiout a email

[brittle warren]

This.

[proud solstice]

you don't

[green fern]

[narrow loom]

Working on this abandoned mod to work with the remastered semis tires. The front tires worked but i cant seem to get the textures for the rear tires.

[fathom bay]

i might make rain guard deflectors for the pessima

so basically middle east spec pessima

[maiden flax]

hey im new

i have been playing for like 1moth

and i dont know how to get cars that in not working

[tacit halo]

are you 13? people under 13 cant create emails

[low glade]

i keep having issues where i save the materials to my car, which then gets saved to the main material file but

everytime i restart the game the materials disappear

when i added the materials and saved everything

i wanted to continue on it later

when i restarted the game after saving everything

looks like this again

[brittle dune]

How do you mod new tires and wheels for ht-55

[shell musk]

hello! im trying to work on a ui mod but i barely have any idea what im doing, so if someone could help give me some pointers that would be great.

im attempting a mod that gets engine current torque, max torque, the torque limit before it starts overtorquing, and the rpm limit (not the limiter rpm, but if possible the rpm at which overrev damage starts occouring

then, i just need to display it on screen. nothing fancy

currently im working by modifying an existing mod, but once i know what to do im gonna make it from scratch.

the mains issue im having is with the js file and how to get the values themselves

then i also have no clue what to do with the mod_info folder

[craggy forum]

does anyone know mods to make the game more realistic. im not talking about mods that make the graphics better, i just want to drive in beamng and feel like im actually driving a car

[subtle gust]

Does anyone know how to make the hirochi ccf reverse camera working

[green fern]

No im over 13

[crystal wraith]

Mod info is usually for repo

[tired mason]

I recommend finding a similar mod/default UI app that display similar info and picking apart how it worked.
Although something like the brake thermal app might be easier to reverse engineer if you are just starting out.

[patent jackal]

Alright search email provider you want and click sign up / create new

Whatever button they got that makes sense

[maiden flax]

yes im 14

[patent jackal]

me make volvo 850?

Its square so should be easier to model then a corvette lol

[bleak laurel]

240?

740?

those are square the 80s models

[faint bison]

940

[bleak laurel]

those also

the 850 is a bit more rounded then the 240, 740 and 940

[patent jackal]

ya but still boxy

(Gotta also see that im comparing to a stingray corvette)

Yay...

[manic harbor]

Here we go again...

[patent jackal]

yep

2nd time first time is still just a curve of vertices

[manic harbor]

I tried to get into modeling

but it's just ohh... damn

[patent jackal]

that hoods a little bit to angry but it kinda looks like something I should keep for later use lol

[patent jackal]

damn

[manic harbor]

I'm having issues with proper shading

[patent jackal]

Thats not bad

[manic harbor]

I mean I don't know

[patent jackal]

use sharps

and I think you should have it shade flat tbh

[patent jackal]

wait is that an 850?

[manic harbor]

Yup

[patent jackal]

you mod?

[brittle warren]

Never have anything shaded flat lol or you will never get smooth normals. Always model with shade smooth on or weighted normals never both tho.

[manic harbor]

I can't, I only mode as a hobby

[patent jackal]

ic

[patent jackal]

but what if I like it chunky lol

jkjk

[brittle warren]

Well i guess then leave er chunky lol

[patent jackal]

I now realzed that pc actually looks like a trash can lol
