Hi guys I have a problem, The time in game is not working on modded map, when i go in the menu, its said 16:48, when i click on the gauge, its working but its reselected on 16:48, what do I do?

[shell musk]

that's what im currently trying but the issue is that there's absolutely zero documentation for the lua

[patent jackal]

Exactly the problem I have

[brittle warren]

Its just lua theres nothing special about it. You just find the function you need. Also there is documentation its under the virtual machines section on the docs. It tells u how to get and send functions between lua vms

[patent jackal]

but where do I learn lua

[brittle warren]

Litterllqy look up lua online its the same as any language there are Hella resources

[shell musk]

yes but there is no docs on the lua used for vehicles and engines and stuff

[brittle warren]

There is under the vms section. Everything in the game folder is seperated by vm. Electric values are in velua and you need them in ge lua to read them from the ui with .data.whatever value

There is no way to document every single function in a game with exat human readable words explaining what they do. No program does that.

[shell musk]

stormworks lua coding shows every possible custom lua function and what it does in human readable text

anywho
the mod im working based off of uses "powertrain.getDevicesByCategory" but i find ZERO mentions of it on the internet other than a single forum post from 2022 recommending it for putting the jato flame mesh on the exhaust

thats what i mean by zero documentation. there are literally functions with no record of existing outside a single forum post

[brittle warren]

Sorry one single game lol. And dont read the internet search the game files. There wont be documentation on every function you just have to find it thats coding in general man. If you cant search the game files you shouldn't be trying in the first place. Litterally any code editor can search files in a folder you just have to type the word

Found it in 5 seconds just searching for it

[shell musk]

okay but that still doesnt tell me how to use said function and what values i can get from it

[unique zealot]

in fairness it does feel like the documentation in general is lacking but you can still search like what broken said and get it from the context

[brittle warren]

Litterally reverse it thats how modding has work3d litterally forever. Find the function calling that function them that function amd so on. Its how you learn without just being told hey if I type this it does this you actually know where its coming from and doing.

Dont get me wrong more documentation would be nice but if you dont learn it yourself then whats the point when you can just copy paste shit without actually knowing anything.

I spent a year implementing a websocket client to live stream video in game from your pc onto a vehicle screen. There were no docs and I was using 10 year old libraries I had to reverse engineer every single step of it and im glad I did because know I know what things do.

[little portal]

Is there a lua script that exposes the rpm of powertrain parts like axels to be used for props?

[brittle warren]

Dont they all just use rpmspin with a multiplier?

[glad tree]

Guys so I have to name the indicators material. So should I name it only indicators or the the indicator by "left or right side"

[brittle warren]

Well in blender you want to name them left and right then you have a single material for both that only switches on per side using the blender material and a glow map.

[little portal]

Its not for the engine but for the driveshafts

The rotating part on the transmission deforms ugly so I want to make it a prop

The rest is okay with having an origin node group with the wheel group name

[glad tree]

Like since I will bring all the names jnto one body but since the materials we use for each part are the ones necessary for the working of electrics , I was thinking if I should name all the indicators materials as "Indicators"

[brittle warren]

Does dump(electrics) in the lua console not show the driveshaft electric and stuff?

[little portal]

Nope but I vibecoded my way out

[brittle warren]

Lol that works

[shell musk]

ive got it mostly woorking but i cant find the max rpm value
whenever i try to read it i just get the revlimiter value but thats not what i need

im just very confused because

[brittle warren]

Isnt it maxRpm? I thought it was thats what I was using i think

[shell musk]

in the engine jbeam it says that the maxRPM value is for "max rpm physically capable of" but when i read out that value to my ui app it just returns the revlimiter rpm

[brittle warren]

Oh you want the value from the jbeam. Use v.data something like that to get a value from the jbeam

[shell musk]

wouldnt reading the value from the jbeam not work if for example i have different long blocks equipped? or am i thinking wrong

oh, another weird thing i noticed
when i look at the maxRPM value in the raw vehicle data ingame through the world editor, it never changes, not with the rpm limit nor changing engine internals

nvm i was looking in the wrong area of the raw data

like is this a bug or something? i can clearly see in the raw data that maxRPM is set to 6350 but when i read it to my ui its suddenly 7400 (current tuned rpm limiter)

[brittle warren]

Im pretty sure jbeam is recursive so if its set to something else in the next jbeam that overwrites it same with lua. I may be wrong tho.

[shell musk]

ill see about giving that a try. just seems weird that i can see the same data entry giving two different values

[vocal junco]

whats johnson valley level name form thing to put in beammp server?

[brittle warren]

The name of the map folder

[vocal junco]

yea I have no idea what that is gng 🙏

[brittle warren]

Open the games files find content find levels then johnsonvalley copy the folder name

[patent jackal]

Does BeamNG support beammp? or just kinda a shrug like other mods

[shell musk]

any idea how i can read from vdata? trying to find an example and not really finding any atm

Its a gta 4 speedo

[jovial knoll]

could anyone like teach me the basics of making stuff inside the car function like the start button ETC

Honestly, you’re better off teaching yourself, take a vanilla car and reverse engineer it basically to find the buttons

In fact, this is what you need https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/triggers/

[unique zealot]

#mods-faq has a link to triggers

[brazen ermine]

How do you get the "Discussion" button on your mod? Do you create a forum post and link it?

I have also realised I posted my mod in the wrong category - is it possible to change categories, or will I have to reupload?

[broken stratus]

For the first question, just send a DM to anyone from the Mod Support team. Said DM should contain the link for the mod and for the discussion/forum thread; just ask you'd want both to be linked.
About the other question, pretty much the same, but this time asking to change the mod category and why do you want to do that.

More info here: https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/mod-support/

[brazen ermine]

Thank you - I asked about the category in the "Author/Moderator Discussion", is that forwarded to the support team, or just the bot?

[wanton otter]

Yo guys how much does a paid mod cost on avarage like im looking for someone to modify an already existing mod and this one guy is telling me 150$ like tf how can it be so expensive.

I just asked him to add a ramp that cars can drive up on to the Antanov An-12B.

This might seem stupid from my side but do paid mods really cost that much?

[shut pollen]

do they have to model and create materials for the ramp from scratch? that could be a few hours of their time.

even "just an addon" can be time consuming, especially with it being built on work of potentially unknown (to them) quality from another author and doing so for a vehicle type that isnt really supported in beam.

$150 could very well end up below minimum wage for this. it isnt really a "paid mod", its commission work haha

be very careful commissioning anything beam related. there are hella scammers afoot

[rancid wedge]

Yea buying a paid mod costs below 10$ usually, but asking for custom made stuff will cost you their time spent on the project, where in general paid mods the potentially thousands of people share the total price.

[wanton otter]

Alright thanks

[rancid wedge]

Also is this theat one cargo plane on the repo we are talking about?

[wanton otter]

I think so

[rancid wedge]

Because theres a mod for a seperately spawnable ramp for it somewhere already

[wanton otter]

I found it on some 3 party website

[wanton otter]

But is the ramp attached to the plane?

[rancid wedge]

No it stays behind when you take off

It's just a wedge you put on the floor

[wanton otter]

I need it for a manhunt where the runner escapes by driving into the plane while the plane is taking off

[wanton otter]

Maybe that could work

[rancid wedge]

I guess you can try driving a pickup with the longest tiltdeck trailer, all the way up behind it

But that needs another driver and seems sketchy

[wanton otter]

I honestly dont know how that could work out xD

Thanks tho

[shut pollen]

i dont think it would be terribly difficult to just attach the separate ramp with the node grabbers. it might not work too well

[rancid wedge]

That would make it dangle down after takeoff but yea should work

[wanton otter]

Gonna see how it goes thanks

[shut pollen]

isnt there a hotkey to remove connections? incredibly jank either way, but much cheaper lmao

[rancid wedge]

I think only for nodes attatched to the air. If you connected them you need to grab them again and "connect" them to themselves

[shut pollen]

ah, that sounds about right

[tacit halo]

Who messaged you

They might be a scammer just beware

If you can show me their user profile or ping em

[wanton otter]

Im not gonna pay 150$ bucks either way

[tacit halo]

Did they send you a link to a discord server as proof of work?

[wanton otter]

A guy who claimed to be a modder sent me an invite to a server where you can create tickets and then have like a conversation with an admin or something and then you pay and then someone makes the mod in like 3 days

The server has like 5.5k members

[tacit halo]

Scam scam scam

Reputable Modders will never message random people

[wanton otter]

I was advertising for my server and he was just like yo i can mod stuff tell me if you need anything

Few weeks later i told him what i needed then he sent me the invite

[tacit halo]

Do you know the name of the guy

[wanton otter]

I could send you his profile

[tacit halo]

Yes please

[weary tangle]

also if someone says they can do "everything" or a lot of things, they are probably a scammer. Just to know one aspect takes lot of trial and error and effort to learn

[tacit halo]

Those servers also generally have modding for like GTA, asseto, DayZ and like a bunch of other games

[wanton otter]

Yeah thats true

[weary tangle]

thats seems like a pyramid scheme

[wanton otter]

Sent you a screenshot of the server

[tacit halo]

One of those had images to my mod posted by one of their 'modders'

[wanton otter]

Oh that sucks

[tacit halo]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/high-quality-sunburst-door-cards.34158/ it was stupid tho they chose the worst one

The most obviously sarcastic mod ever

(they are the pre remaster sunburst doors which are.... quality, ported over to the new one)

[wanton otter]

Hahaha

Good one

Do you think a price of 150$ is legit for adding a ramp that opens and closes with a keybind to the already existing Antanov An-12B mod

I think thats pretty steep

[tacit halo]

Not sure, prolly not, but still the antanov is like ancient mod so it might be very difficult to do

[little portal]

Thats not what a pyramid scheme is

[weary tangle]

i haven't seen the server myself, But to me it seems like there is someone at the top (admin) who oversees and planned it all. Then there are those below him that are used to "make mods", and those further below that seek out people to invite (or the same people that "make mods"). or i guess MLM

[little portal]

Fair point

When I thought of a pyramid scheme it was more on the investment side

[shut pollen]

there isnt a "team" at all. probably just 1 guy that would just take the money, stall for as long as possible and then run

[weary tangle]

probably

[zealous dock]

Hello everyone

[tacit halo]

No they are all scammers

Server is just to try and seem like legit modders by posting pictures of mods (stolen ones)

Usually controlled by a small group that has a lot of alts/ people to dm randoms

[eager moss]

Ah yeah

Radius arm I don’t think I’ve seen in Beam

[surreal sage]

it's been done like twice

Oh.

GXL Mods has Radius arm on their GU

But everything they do is scratch

Its probably just done similar to the linked suspension beam comes with. Nodes and Beams for links.

hey can anyone help me with window stickers its been a bit since i actually touched blender

[patent jackal]

@unique zealot honest opinions how much has been screwed up

[unique zealot]

you're drawing it out instead of extruding

and why is this separate?

idk if you are making it for beam, but i would recommend to just make models in general, dont worry about actually making it for beam, but just get the practice

[brittle warren]

3d audio stuff since i finally got the drift fixed with the help of Zeit.

[patent jackal]

I am making for beam but going for making the outlines and then making realistic and more for beam

so ya I see things like this but these will be fixed when shape is made

[unique zealot]

theo said this a few days ago

model it normally, dont make any panel gaps and then bevel the outlines

[unique zealot]

i will be honest, this isnt it

[patent jackal]

bevel the outlines?

[unique zealot]

so like the door outlines

you model it normally and then when thats done, select the shape of the door and then press ctrl + B

[patent jackal]

Wdym? Like its bad or like it obviously needs to be fixed

[unique zealot]

needs fixed

like right now

[patent jackal]

ik thats what im currently working on

[unique zealot]

its also separated too?

[patent jackal]

ya thats light on right and trunk on left (followed wrong outline it was one more outside I can fix easy tho)

[unique zealot]

merge them and work on the shape further

[patent jackal]

like ctrl+j or edit both at same time

[unique zealot]

ctrl j

[patent jackal]

oh whys that

[unique zealot]

doing both at the same time means you cant fill the gap

you thinking it could be a mod conflict?

I’ll check it when i’m at my pc and playing beam again

Might be outdated mods too, since the I series got an update a while ago

[hybrid lichen]

Yeah it’s been broken for a while now

[hybrid lichen]

yeap seems so - no mods other than the wagon itself, frickin' sucks concidering its a good looking car in wagon form too

does anyone know a trailer mod that has like another tow thingy at the back?

[blazing surge]

Where can I find the Mtl fire truck?

[cobalt oxide]

i was learning how to make a jbeam and made this thing accidentally

[distant pendant]

i don't think it's public yet

[patent jackal]

save that mr inventor lol

[cobalt oxide]

i made an error in in line 25 and line 30 and it caused that

[junior barn]

Im having a issue with a lot of shadow flickering on folliage

I am looking on google for eays to fix it and I see people recommend zeits mod

Im wandering if it also comes with dlaa. I think it would really help with the jagged edges

Or do I need to get dlaa specific mod

[graceful folio]

I saw one here

[junior barn]

I see there is the snowy moon mod for dlaa/taa, but I dont understand why its needed if I can see dlaa in zeits menu

[heady trail]

My stuff is not the same dlaa as snowymoons and you'll probably consider it much less effective

Although i do not recommend his at all

It was pulled off of the forums for sending data to an unknown cloudflare domain and is only available outside of moderation

[brittle warren]

Why would a post processing mod need to send any data? That sounds suspicious

[heady trail]

Yes thats my point

It is suspicious

[viral wedge]

Ive got a question

are all the mods in the showcase-your-mods channel safe?

[silent pendant]

yes

any unsafe mods will be removed

[viral wedge]

ok thats great and last question, for beam mp I want to play servers, but also same thing obv your gonna get servers where there are mods with malware spyware etc. Is there any servers that our trusted, ive been thinking about using the official servers bc obv those cant contain malware, but i dont have any cars

so like do you recomend js downloading cars from here and playing on those orr

[silent pendant]

well you cant use mods that you download in mulitplayer servers

unless that server has the mod that you downloaded

[viral wedge]

yeah, which is most you gotta download there stuff, so what im asking is yk the ones at the top in the orange, do i just use them and use my own cars or do i just find servers that have mods, that are from trusted creators

[silent pendant]

its up to you

but any server that doesnt have a mod you downloaded from here will not let you use it in the server

[viral wedge]

any recommended servers?

speaking of, is there any way to change a tune on a car? like get someone elses so i can make it drift?

[junior barn]

I was just playng around with your mod, and I encounter a issue where changing a setting doesnt trigger it until later and then I get confused which setting it was. Is there any way to force rerender like with some settings

[heady trail]

Which setting was it?

[junior barn]

I dont remember the exact name but I think it was texture detail levels with 4 buttons 0 through through 4

0 seemed to break the way things look

1 was the right choice

And also above it the might have been a scale slider. That also didnt seem to work right away possibly. It was hard to tell whats working and whats not working. Just that some things seemed to do nothing

And the game would randomly start looking broken like the textures on the car, inside, the environment became ultra low quality when I changed between presets

The shadow settings seemed to work fine

I got it to flicker very little

Setting the scale to two, and maxing out texture resolution and distance. Plus I increased 2 lod settings a bit

Only thing I wasnt able to make look good was ambient occlusion. It appeared smeary

The shadows from the environment look fine but the sunlight travels straight through the roof of my car so I tried using ambient occlusion

And I used dlaa which I confuses with nvidia dlaa when I first asked the question

And I use vulkan

[graceful folio]

Holy shit 💀

I mean it doesn't surprise me, now he only sells his ets2 graphics which you have to inject into the game and pay monthly giving you a key that you have to enter somewhere for the mod to work

[unique zealot]

for that price, that is a rip off

[brittle warren]

Holy fuck that's a rip off. 30 bucks for a beam mp mod? Come on bro. Thats the same price as the damn game.

[brittle warren]

If your mod costs the same as the game you should be banned from here.

[jovial trellis]

imo a mod should never be more than like $10 and even then that's pushing it

[brittle warren]

Yea im fine with paid mods but not ludicrous ones. Especially when its a mod for a free mod.

So i made the mod in about 5 seconds.

[stiff oak]

im having issues with a mod thats causing the collision of the weight pad to bug out, but nothing suspicious shows up in the lua and no mods suggest they change anything about the weight pad

[leaden tinsel]

i hope BeamNG makes crash test dummies a default prop in the game in the future. I was just looking at the mod and it hasnt been updated for 10 years.Surprised no one made a new one yet

[brittle warren]

Agent ys mod?

[unique zealot]

ask in #1259896099225866321

you'll get better support

[stiff oak]

its the collision of the weight pad, it happens with every vehicle

[brittle warren]

[crystal wraith]

im 90% sure all brands pictured they own

except renegade monster trucks, but theyre still a part of it

most the sponsors up there are tiny buisnesses so i think theyd appricate it 😭

Is there a way to make AI traffic a bit more flexible with the speed limits? They tend to stick at or slightly below the posted speed limit on a mapped road, is there a way for the agressiveness to be increased to allow some drivers to drive slightly over, or is it just a case of raising the limit for those roads in the editor?

Could someone tell me what documentation i should read for making my own exterior skin? I am looking to make a skin for the Gavril Scout, but i'll probably start with the vanilla gavril van if thats better. I'm going to make a private skin for me and my friends of a IRL building company that we can use on my BeamMP server, I don't know if that makes any difference but it might be important to add.

[outer heart]

if only scout demo included skin support

[broken stratus]

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/materials/vehicle/skinsystem/

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/materials/vehicle/skinsystem/skintutorial/

[final fossil]

Any idea if manually making a skin requires the same work as doing it in the material editor?

As in using the skin template and editing an copy of it in paint.net to make the skin

[broken stratus]

You'll need the template (it's in each car folder) and something like paint.NET, Krita, GIMP...

Remember to not paint over the template. I personally use Krita, and always place the template at the top layer, with visibility enabled, but not selected as an active layer

[final fossil]

I use paint.net, I can basically put the template underneath the skin and remove it afterwards, but I do think I kinda should put it on top becouse you can still see it lol

But indeed having it as a layer that doesn't get affected by the coloring is what I was trying to do for beam

[broken stratus]

Yeah, it can be above or below the skin layer. The important thing is to not paint or add stickers on the template layer

[obtuse prawn]

Swear theres a video made by filman86 that shows how to.

[patent jackal]

Since I started modding atleast (Its only been a few months tho)

[obtuse prawn]

Theres a way to do it with the preexisting automation electric engine code the cars export with I think. U may need to export the car as AWD once and then whatever WD u want after that I think?

[winged crystal]

It is kinda old, the files are kinda changed now and have different stuff

If its not outdated ill try it

[obtuse prawn]

The files themselves will still likely have similar relevancy as automation makes its own drivetrains. Dunno how tho. Hope it helps!

[heady trail]

Well yes, texture resolution reduction reduces texture resolution

[junior barn]

its set to 1

i dont even know which setting is doing this because I have to change settings 1 by 1 and restart the game or soemthing each time for the settings to apply

if I load the vanilla profile it goes back to normal

I set it to vanilaplus and got this and invisible cars.

[junior barn]

nvm it does not go back to normal

ambient occlusions has this wierd look

[heady trail]

Set to 0

[heady trail]

Reset the profile in the manager

[junior barn]

I just did, used the delete button and then set the textures again in settings and they went back to normal

[heady trail]

Ok it should, will see

[junior barn]

I think that fixed that

getting this now

I just set to vanila

[heady trail]

Yeah it seems like the mod saved the wrong default values

Might need to restart

[junior barn]

ok let me try that

[heady trail]

Unless you overwrote the mesh LOD value

[junior barn]

how do we do that

looks like its back to normal after restart

maybe I will delete that profile

do you know how to get rid of this transition line?

I think I have tried all the shadow settings and its still there. I would rather even just make all shadows blurry like that so its all the same. its just super distracting seeing transitions lines, pop in etc. this line moves across the ground as im driving

[narrow pollen]

how do I add textures to my model its 1 mesh but has a few pngs that need to be on it any help please?

I already added the stuff onto the model

Heya, I've been working on some personal additions to the AgentY Univesal Dummy mod.
So far I've just been unpacking the repository mod, making my changes, then repacking when I want to put it on my server for my friends.
What I would like to know, is if there's a way I can make my additions as a separate mod for it instead?
I know there's a section on the repository called "Mods of mods" (The Universal Dummy mod is one, actually), so hopefully there's a way I can do it this way instead.

[brittle warren]

Everything you made. Just make a new mod folder with the correct structure and paste in the files and things you created. When loaded it should act as a mod for the dummy mod. if you set up the folder structure the same

[scarlet dagger]

Oh, just like that?

Would I need anything for the mod menu in Beam? some kinda info.json or some such?

[brittle warren]

Yes but you wont be able to upload anything that has copyrighted material to the repo. Im not sure waht models you are using but be weary of that. Also ask permission form agenty before uploading it

[scarlet dagger]

I wasn't planning on uploading it or hosting it publicly. Just some personalised additions for a private server with friends.
I will keep that in mind if I decide otherwise though. Thanks, @brittle warren

[brittle warren]

Ok if your not uploading it then you dont need anythign special for it to show up in the mod manager just a mod folder with the fiels in it. In the mod manager you will just see it as the name of the folder

[scarlet dagger]

Alright sweet. That makes life so much easier

[regal latch]

What BrokenBrainCells says is mostly true up until your editing a file of the mod your adding to. As in lets say agents mod has vehicles/something/some.jbeam and your mod has as well vehicles/something/some.jbeam but a modified version. Then you may run into load order issues. Beam has no mod load order, whatever loads last wins. So if your mod where to load first and then the original then the original jbeam will be the one the game will use and you have no way of manipulating it. But since your talking about using this on a modded server what you can do in such a case is to name your mod in the alphabetical order after the orginal mod. So if the original where to be called A.zip then yours should be called B.zip. Thats because beammp sorta has a load order by activating the mods by the alphabet

[scarlet dagger]

Ah, that's good to know. I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks, @regal latch

anyone got a mod that is a car which is free and has carplay or some type of interactable interiour?

[eager moss]

WIP Land Rover Discovery 1 wheel face, irl model included for reference. Used to have these on our Defender 110, so thought id model em. Will hopefully look good with textures, especially some normal maps around the lug holes to add that bulge (which isn’t that easy to model well, especially low poly)

[unique zealot]

Hirchi ccf would be the closest that comes to it i believe

other than that?

i have that

I don’t know if the question fits in this thread but I got a question again. Anyone know GrogTV who does the beam/automation vids on YT. He sometimes opens the car file to play around with the reliability and turbo sounds. Could someone explain how to open these files?

[blazing harbor]

Those are jbeam files, you can edit them with notepad++

Greeting everyone! Are there any tools/software that let you design UI for BeamNG without the need of manually writing the code? (for css, js and html)

I really need help because i cannot find any tutorial and posts about this subject so if anyone could help me please it would make my world. Thanks in advance!🙂

[patent jackal]

css js html Ai does good not saying rely on it but use it as a teacher

Well sometimes does good

[spice meteor]

Isn't there like an app where you design the UI you want and the it exports it as a code in order to run it BeamNG? What do the BeamNG Devs use to create their UI's? Thanks though!

[toxic widget]

Not sure what the app would be but yes im sure theres one out there

Also I would assume beam devs write it themselves

[spice meteor]

Hmmm. I see. How would i go by starting to make my own custom UI Menus? I know very little about coding...

[patent jackal]

I know very little about that side of beam to sorry

[spice meteor]

And on top of that i am working on an other project as well... But if i could put a UI Menu of mine it would make my mod shine!

[patent jackal]

Ya I feel you with the alot of other stuff
I would ask someone in the modding for dummies server

[spice meteor]

No worries mate! You are def not the only one becuase as i can see not many people are working with this side as well hahaha! Thanks either way!

[spice meteor]

Yeah it is tough... But for my project if i just surpass all of these hard paths such as applying custom objectives and UI and many other little things, everything else will roll the hill with ease :D! I did ask on the server but i will try to make another attempt!

[patent jackal]

Good luck!

[spice meteor]

Thanks mate! Good luck on your projects as well! 😁

I asked for help some time ago with image sequence animations. I prepared my images and stuff to animate them but no animation is played

https://docs.torque3d.org/for-artists/materials/material-animation A kind user pointed me here and so i don't know what could be wrong

And this is how the object is in game

And this the material. Ignore unnecessary maps they are there as placeholders

[weary tangle]

i actually have a short section in my guide about it. its in "Custom billboard model / sequence texture animation"
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3664143287

also i think sequence animation doesn't work on v1.5 materials, i think you have to use older material version (1)

[stable fox]

Thank you. I'll adjust the uvs and check again 😄

Same can be said for money. Hinting at your profile

Lmao if you say so then bud

I sell my maps, because they take years to make. And a lot of money. I don’t sell meshlaps, I don’t even sell mods. And my maps always release for free when they’re finished.

Anyway go off criticising modders when you actually know what effort they put in 👍

Messing around a little with level editing. Thought I'd try importing a model for the first time.

For the life of me I cannot get the materials to work. I created a new material, assigned images to it, etc. It shows up correctly at all LODs in the Shape Editor, but not on the object in the world itself.

Can't post images but

Is there a step I'm likely to be missing if this is the case?

[patent jackal]

#roles Get the uplink role
But also I cant help rn sorry

Thanks @patent jackal

hello gamers and other creatures. i'm making a big transmission pack for all vanilla cars, and the Vivace REALLY doesn't want an automatic for some reason. i made a torque converter for it, checked over the code for everything multiple times, compared it to other auto Vivace mods out there, but i can't quite figure out what's wrong. idk what the "parent device" of a transmission is. any suggestions?

I did, and it still made that noise

bruh i spent like 2 hours troubleshooting this last night, posted this, and then realized that the highlighted "mainEngine" (edit: it's the one under it, not the highlighted one) is supposed to be "torqueConverter", and now it works

Hey guys!

I'm currently trying to mod a modded car and when I add new parts in new categories, the parts don't "stack"

For example;

I made a part "heads", "intake manifolds" and "intakes". When I put any of the intake manifolds on the car, it acts like it is replacing the other two. This applies to each.

They do have separate slot types and are labeled correctly so I am not too sure what is causing it to do this

[little portal]

It probably did but your rotation is minuscule

The rotation (z) is set up for inputs that go up to 8000 (so 8000 times that z value)

Throttle is only 0-1

So it did rotate, but only .02 degrees
