[bleak laurel]

well clearly its a car with headligh, grille, bumper, hood and fenders but i think its a train

[worthy parrot]

WHy is the mesh acting so funky tho?

[sturdy brook]

are devs adding newer cars?

[worthy parrot]

It's clearly not about the car. It's about the mesh

[bleak laurel]

no its a teaser showing off the mesh with the cars progress trought the time until no

hm what if its a simpler car maker. picture to mesh builder

[weary tangle]

i think its just them showing the interations the bumper design went through

[worthy parrot]

seems like a lot of iterations tho

[weary tangle]

some of it could also be for alternative / tuner bumpers. They probably have to make a lot to get a "perfect" design that doesn't look cheap

Does anyone know how to adjust the boost level of ceep turbos?

[little portal]

youre missing the torsionbar, that is what actually simulates the twisting of the swaybar

tip, dont use ai to generate/change jbeam

[fair burrow]

How do i add it then? all i need to know is what 4 nodes and the order they go in. then i go from the moonhawk

[fair burrow]

No one has helped me.. and i needed a base to go off of to see if it would even work

[little portal]

"torsionbars": [
["id1:", "id2:", "id3:", "id4:"],
{"spring":"$sway_spring_R", "damp":1, "deform":10000, "strength":15000},
["Right lever end", "chassis right", "chassis left", "left lever end"],

Does anyone know of a "vanilla" version of the 2008 Honda Civic?

[crystal wraith]

doesnt exist

[ebon tangle]

Doesnt help unfortunately

[crystal wraith]

what alpha do you have them on?

[ebon tangle]

Premult

Only one that works correctly

[patent jackal]

No and that wouldnt be vanilla. Vanilla isnt modded

[crystal wraith]

They mean lore friendly bro

[tight shuttle]

use the decals' opacity masks for alpha clip, and disable actual transparency

[ebon tangle]

Not really sure what you mean by this, im already using an opacity map

[tight shuttle]

so by "actual transparency" i'm referring to the premulalpha thing
disabling that doesn't prevent you from using an opacity mask

you just need to specify "alphaTest": true in the "main" section of the material below the stages

[ebon tangle]

Hmm ok i’ll give that a try, cant hurt

[jaunty jolt]

has anyone faced the issue with the texture cooker that instead of converting your PNG into a DDS BC7 it'll convert it to a DDS BC3?

it's converting the texture fine, except for these blocky artifacts around edges, I tried manually exporting to DDS (BC7), but then it's not compressed at all, and the colors are washed out (I'm guessing it's reading it as linear instead of sRGB when it is sRGB).

I"m also guessing that it's using heavy compression because the DDS file is almost 15 times smaller than the one exported from blender

[frank mason]

I recommend you to join the official modding discord. The people there are more mature and knowledged to answer any such more in depth questions

Link is here #mods-faq message

thank you very very much ❤️

Are you saving it as .color.png?

Might be an issue with the internal PNG format too

https://github.com/PrzemekWolw/AdvancedPNGExport
Use this tool for paint.net ( I imagine you use paint.net, it's useful for small tweaks after texturing)

[jaunty jolt]

yes

[jaunty jolt]

well, I just use GIMP, and blender, and I'm not on windows

Greetings everyone. I am looking for someone to help me on a mod I am working. I need someone that knows about flowgraph and missions.

Please do no dm me directly. Ping me here first so I can confirm you are not a bot/scam. With that being said I am in an urgent help because I cannot find further help online and I have reached a roadblock. Thanks in advance. 🙂

[tacit halo]

Then you might have to do it manually (but in the materials still put in .PNG! That fixed my colors being washed out once)

You can see that vanilla materials reference .PNG textures even tho no vehicle has them like that

[jaunty jolt]

I did that too!

[tacit halo]

Still no luck?

[jaunty jolt]

it did help to detect the format better and stop logging errors like when I had ".dds", but I did patch work for now lol

I just applied reverse gamma correction to the texture

😭

now it's darker on disk but it is correct in game

for now that's what I'll go with I guess

[weary tangle]

the color textures can be pretty weird, i usually darken the material a bit inside the material editor

[tacit halo]

Have you used the in-game material editor? That might tell you what's going on, it recently got info log/warnings

[jaunty jolt]

oh yeah that's what I was using

wait, it is saying "expecting BC7, got GFXFormatBC7_U", that's something for sure

[jaunty jolt]

thanks, I'll look into that more

Who is a reputable creator/where should I download mods from?

[blazing harbor]

BeamNG forums and the in game repository 😄

[patent jackal]

none download from forums and repo

[blazing harbor]

There's also #1102973298222051358

Is there a link to the forums in here somewhere? I am new to all of this still

[blazing harbor]

[ripe lake]

I see now. So they are basically linked together? I will admit, as I play on my MacBook. The repository definitely makes installing mods a super easy process. I did do ONE mod from modland which I was warned about so I haven’t touched it since then. Luckily the mod has not caused any issues for me after over a month of installation.

idk if they are too expensive

[eager moss]

This servers like plagued with scammers lol, so you’ll get a fair few people telling you they can do deals that are too good to be true. I would recommend to ask around and do research before paying anyone for anything

[eager moss]

Graphics/looks mods?

[pale blade]

yes

for example good clouds that look real

i have a shader but i just use a sharpness on it and idk it looks weird idk any good settings

CK Skybox on the repository. Get the addon pack. It is possibly the no.1 mod that improves your game experience as a whole

[pale blade]

so CK Skybox

addon pack is where

or am i dumb and its with it

[eager moss]

All with skybox

[eager moss]

The ingame repository

Search “skybox”

And there should be two CK Skybox mods, subscribe to both

[pale blade]

got it

thanks

any other mods?

[eager moss]

Zeits graphics tool is okay, might not be the best option for lower end pcs idk.

Otherwise not much graphically, you can get reshade, but its controversial whether it looks better, and it does affect performance

Those pictures i took up there, were with “steamdeck” graphics settings, and ck skybox. Otherwise no graphical mods, no reshade or zeits.

These pictures are on ultra graphics with skybox and reshade

Zeits is on the repository like skybox, reshade is a thing you download and setup, theres tutorials on yt

[pale blade]

you know any good zeit settings

i play ultra aswell

i think i have reshade on rn but i dont have good stuff, how do i turn it off for now

Is there a way to have smarter object unloading? Like if the object isn't able to be seen just unload it instead of relying solely on frustum culling and nulldetail sizes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGcxeAmchRQ

Like this

[weary tangle]

unless you do some custom scripts. The only way is using occlusion zones, but it only works on terrain

[trail jasper]

sup

is anyone thinking of releasing the newer peugeot 208?

[crystal wraith]

You could always have a far distant LOD be a microscopic plane, not quite the same but still

Best way to do it unless like the other guy said, you write a script

[stable fox]

The issue is not the distant cases but occluded objects 😞 if i have a giant tall building hiding a lot of street signs even if they are correctly instances the polycount goes up and performance decreases. Although i can also make waterplanes reduce their planar reflections to save performance too

As now i have like 3 issues being the creation of cubemaps in a grid pattern in various tod and dynamic change to that cubemap - i assume both of those would require some lua stuff

Occlusion culling (I assume that could even use depth data to be done idk anything about this)

dynamic enablement of lights and changing material values when night

All of those would require scripting i assume. And I don't know a droplet of it so it will be a challenge

[blazing harbor]

Yeah the ambient occlusion sucks tbh 😅 hope they can improve that soon

[patent jackal]

Seems like currently they are doing lots of these tiny fixes that we need so hopefully 🙏

1x prop = 1 core used right?

[patent jackal]

Wdym core?

[distant pendant]

beam can only use 1 core per car.

[broken stratus]

It doesn't work like that

[patent jackal]

Cpu core?

[distant pendant]

can you help me understand?

[brittle warren]

I have a quad core and can run hella traffic

[patent jackal]

ya lol

BeamMP left the chat

[distant pendant]

10x traffic is different then 10x mp cars.

[broken stratus]

The game doesn't assign one core per car, AFAIK

[brittle warren]

Yea i dont play mp? Mp runs better on car count than traffic does.

[distant pendant]

it doesn't assign it no.

[patent jackal]

I only have 2 cores lol

on laptop

and ive had alteast 4 cars

[brittle warren]

Yea it doesn't really mater the core count of your pc it doesn't change anything you can still run the same amount of cars as anyone else just slower do to a slower cpu.

[distant pendant]

i'm pretty sure there is some sense to what i ment by 1 car per core.

i'm sure beam doesn't assign core per car, but from what i've heard/ read over the last 10 years is that beam has problem using multiple cores for same car.

[brittle warren]

Well yea i mean your running physics sims at 2000fps per car if you try stuffing multiple on the same core it doesnt like it. especially if you have a shit cpu like i do lol

[distant pendant]

Are you doing the image modeling method?

[tacit halo]

you cant really imagemodel niche engines with 0 references

[patent jackal]

There other choices other than guess and hope?

[tacit halo]

you should use a picture of a headgasket as a base

[patent jackal]

ooh smart

[tacit halo]

then use the cylinder size measurments as a rough base for the scale of the engine

[patent jackal]

I know I can ignore the innerds

[tacit halo]

no actually, dont

[patent jackal]

What 😭

[tacit halo]

the first thing you should model is that head gasket

and make sure the cylinder holes are at the correct scale and spacing

Hey all, I managed to get some custom meshes in for the AgentY dummy mod, but when inspecting the jbeams ingame, they are still using the dummy/stuntman beams. I can't seem to import them into blender to edit them either. Does anyone have any advice?

[patent jackal]

like how do you make the terrain?

[brittle warren]

white to grey image called a height map

[weary tangle]

with right programs its pretty easy

[brittle warren]

Are the jbeams formatted weird? maybe the jbeam addon cant figure them out.

[patent jackal]

I think I might have done it to conplex

[scarlet dagger]

I'm not sure to be entirely honest. I haven't really worked with jbeams to begin with.

[weary tangle]

the usual process is to make a high poly model and then bake the details as texture onto a low poly model

[brittle warren]

What is wrong with the current jbeams? like do they do something weird?

[patent jackal]

Ive heard the term baking but no idea what it does or mean any vids to find out?

[scarlet dagger]

The custom mesh and existing jbeams don't particularly align, so it causes tears in the mesh and strange deforms

[patent jackal]

headgasket is bigger then the car I think ive made my mod to realistic lol

[brittle warren]

Honestly id join modding for dummies and ask agent y they are in there and talk all the time

[scarlet dagger]

Didn't know there was a server for that. Is there a channel here that has a link for it?

oh actually, I just found it in FAQs

Thanks, @brittle warren

[weary tangle]

this is a very basic quick video that shows what it is. But on a basic cube. Its a bit more complicated on more complicated objects as you have to UV unwrap them good, and you can run into various issues. This vid only shows normal map baking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3lwBDtC0ic

[patent jackal]

That seems complicated

my low poly will be a? and my high will be a?

high the nodes I just made?

[tacit halo]

a block with simplified details for your lowpoly

[patent jackal]

in block shape or in gasket shape

[weary tangle]

you obviously won't bake the engine to a cube, you will bake it to a much lower poly engine. But this video was very to the point of what baking is, thats why i linked it

[patent jackal]

but why bake?

[weary tangle]

if you want it really detailed wtih good performance. You could skip the process if you want to be fast, and not bother with all that

[tacit halo]

highpoly vs lowpoly

you can see theres a lot of details that are just
not there

[patent jackal]

so low poly is like a jbeam and high is like the model that the jbeam shows

[tacit halo]

no

[patent jackal]

but in model terms

[weary tangle]

with baking you are converting the polygons into a texture

[tacit halo]

yes

see

[patent jackal]

ah

[tacit halo]

highpoly baked into lowpoly

[patent jackal]

so are those textures just an image or 3d?

[tacit halo]

textures

they come from the 3d model data

[weary tangle]

the texture then gets applied to the 3d model so it looks like it has more detail than it actually has

[patent jackal]

oh so the middle man of material and model is textures which is whats put on the model

hm

so todo quick this could be my low poly (with the parts like distributor etc)

[little portal]

Why with the cylinder bores if I may ask?

[tacit halo]

you should remove those

when youve scaled it properly they are useful

[patent jackal]

What did the beam devs do?

They bake?

(I dont have game rn cause im on laptop)

[weary tangle]

yeah

[tacit halo]

yes

[patent jackal]

hm

Can someone send a folder of the pessima engines? (mines not installed rn)

dae/blend file

[weary tangle]

couldn't find it, here is how it looks for bastion

[patent jackal]

can you send the file?

[weary tangle]

they have more textures for roughness, ao ,and metallic. But i think those are enough to see how they did it.
(I've also changed the color texture format from bc7 to bc1 cuz my older blender version doesn't support it)

[patent jackal]

is there a subdivision modifier in the object mode?

[tacit halo]

please do me a favour and set the normal to non color and use a normal map node

[tacit halo]

yes

i used it for my engine

[patent jackal]

Does baking make me basically skip the step of modeling each part individually to look nice or is that something else

[tacit halo]

no, baking makes you not need to manually paint normal maps for your engine textures

[patent jackal]

so what if I dont use a normal map?

[tacit halo]

that will happen

the only reason why it now doesnt look completly horrible is beacuse i have grime textured everywhere which also requires having a highpoly

[patent jackal]

I cant hard model that in tho?

[weary tangle]

if you don't have normal texture, then you don't really have a pbr material

[patent jackal]

or no cause performance

[tacit halo]

yes

[patent jackal]

ahh so how make the high poly?
Do i use sculpt?

[tacit halo]

mind i remind you
the highpoly i made was 2 million polygons
and one without subdiv would still be like 300k

this is 6100

[weary tangle]

things like engines are hard surface modelling, you don't really use sculpt for that

sculpt is more for organic things. (Animals, rocks etc.)

[patent jackal]

I feel like I should know alot more then I do right now

[tacit halo]

you are way over your skillset
use a vanilla beamng engine
thats how most people do it

[patent jackal]

or make the engine look good later on in the model ig

and just have shape and stuff

[tacit halo]

bro you barely know how to model a car

[brittle warren]

CAnt learn without doing it

[tacit halo]

you started modding like a month ago

[weary tangle]

probably. you need more solid foundation probably before you can start with high engine modeling and baking and things like that

[patent jackal]

oh comeon is this really that bad

[tacit halo]

you shouldnt make an entire engine from scratch

[tacit halo]

its very early to tell yet

[patent jackal]

true

[tacit halo]

it took me about 2 years of modeling before i started even baking stuff

[weary tangle]

i also recommend watching good tutorials on things you are trying to make. Don't make the same mistake as i did at start where i just did things my way and it ended up really bad...

[tacit halo]

what i showed you is the result of nearly 5 years of modding and modeling

[patent jackal]

oh god what have I gotten myself into

[brittle warren]

https://klipy.com/gifs/crappy-stuff-bad

[weary tangle]

maybe i shouldn't have mentioned baking

[patent jackal]

ya lol this is all your fault

[brittle warren]

Can I reuse normals from the beamng models

or to proprietary

[tight shuttle]

i don't think they'd be put in unencrypted zips if the devs didn't intend for modders to kitbash them or otherwise tinker with them

(assuming, of course, that the use of such assets stays within beamng)

[patent jackal]

I know there ok with modders using
but is the I4 for pessima normal any good

and can someone send

pessima has I4 right?

Hello guys! This question may seem out of context but, does anyone know which BeamNG Dev works with both flowgraph and mission systems?

Why am i asking this? Because i am working on a project using flowgraph in order to create a custom mission. But i need help in a specific part which is the mission objectives. I have asked everywhere and i could not find a further answer which lead me to a huge road block of my project 😔... So now, i really hope to contact one of the BeamNG Dev's that work with both flowgraph and mission systems in order to help me with my mod. If anyone knows please let me know by pinging me here...

Thank you for your understanding and have a great day! 🙂

[patent jackal]

Can someone help this poor dude out

[weary tangle]

flowgraph is pretty niche stuff, thats why there aren't many people helping

[spice meteor]

😔 🙏

[spice meteor]

Yeah, i figured it out while learning about flowgraph hahahah

[eager moss]

What mod ffs

[median rivet]

SW

[eager moss]

What

[eager moss]

?

[unique zealot]

i mean you could, but if you mean use the normals on your model, then it's "propriatery" in the sense which that normal map was made with that model

so yes you can but dont becaused it will be mismatched basically

Anyone know how to do custom exhaust sounds? I’ve never really dabbled with engine sounds, but I want to create an ECU/exhaust that has a more realistic pop bang sound, the vanilla ones awful. Something along the lines of this https://www.tiktok.com/@nez_tune/video/7602402692601810184

is there a specific directory where the sound files are kept an referenced or something?

[young gate]

where can i find the jbeam that points to where exactly is the location of the wheel node

[pale blade]

is there a mod like an aerodynamics/blowover mod where if you meet the certain real life criteria in for example an f1 you will go flying up like a real f1 would??

Hey everyone! I really do not want to be annoying or anything like that...

But i really need help because i have reached a complete roadblock on my mod and i cannot work further on it. For the past days/weeks i was not able to continue working on my mod because of my problem with trying to create custom objectives for my custom mission using the flowgraph editor and the "constructor.lua" file...

Please if anyone knows which BeamNG Dev or Any modder that knows from both flowgraph and mission systems, please let me know by pinging me here so i can contact them... Or if you personally know about flowgraph and mission systems as well, please ping me here as well... I am in an urgent help and i cannot continue with my mod any further, this specific problem needs to be solved in order for me to continue working on my mod...

Thank you all for the understanding and have a great day and week! 🙂

VERY EARLY WIP

Made an exhaust pops/crackle ECU for Keciles FG, and soon Zachs B Series Sedan too. They need a LOT of sound tuning and they need to be quieter, but I’ve made a start at least

P.S if anyone has a good video (online or your own video) sample of Falcon exhaust pops and crackles I would greatly appreciate it, as the current ones a bit weird as it was recorded in a garage

Guys could someone help me to import mods in to beamng folder like in video?

[gilded schooner]

go in the beamng menu, go to mod repository, find "open mod folder" then drag and drop the mod there.

Thank you man

[mild notch]

I would like to make a mod myself. I read the official beamng page on making mods, and tried making that, but it kinda worked, kinda didnt. i dunno if you have any advice or something...

[patent jackal]

Read the actual beamng jbeams

Mostly the starting lines

[eager moss]

updated backfire sounds for the FG, relatively happy with them but will need tuning for sure. this time using sounds from irl pics that Kecile gave me. please give some feedback https://medal.tv/games/beamng/clips/mmTBXl9F6B7xUZufM?invite=cr-MSxqTWQsNTgzOTQ5NjMw

[bright holly]

That would depends on how the car downforce is set up not on a standalone mod

[fathom cliff]

guys could you help me, where can i order a mod?

[gilded schooner]

have no clue, btw you are going to get spammed by mod scammers

[quick oracle]

it would be awesome if we saw keyframe animation support in beamng for easier animation

[weary tangle]

what exactly do you mean by keyframe? As animated object can work, but the movement won't have collision

[hard gyro]

Ok so quick question.
I have some car mods. They need tire mods for some configs
I have those tire mods
So why do the configs still spawn with these lame tires?

[restive fable]

They are on the repo, Made by the same mod creator

Oh wait

Sorry im so blind lmao

Try clearing your cache.

[wise basin]

Is there a proper way to insert a modded vehicle (more of a prop but I'd guess it should work in a similar way since it's defined as a vehicle) in natural traffic generation (so it getting loaded and unloaded properly)?
I wanted to have a specific vehicle spawn like 5% of the time (with the percentage being adjustable in my UI app or at least have ability to toggle the spawnability of it) and tried getting map nodes (map.getMap().nodes) and then finding a node N meters ahead of player and spawning the vehicle on it (with core_vehicles.spawnNewVehicle()). This ended up causing stuttering every time I tried spawning one (could be just inefficient finding of a spawn position on my end) and even though I then used gameplay_traffic.insertTraffic() it still didn't despawn naturally nor did I see new ones getting spawned in. In another attempt I tried modifying a traffic group and calling gameplay_traffic.setupTraffic() after and that did spawn one/some at first but then after driving around for like 10 minutes I didn't see my vehicle get spawned again even once while default ones were despawning and spawning.

[hard gyro]

5 times lol

[hard gyro]

Yeah that didn’t fix it. I gotta figure this out

[restive fable]

Odd.

[hard gyro]

It seems like any mod tires never spawn on their own

I’ve narrowed it down to “if a config uses a vanilla wheel, it WONT spawn the mod tires. If it uses a modded wheel, it will spawn the modded tires”

[hard gyro]

Figured it out. Beamng was just being stupid, telling me had the tire mod when, in fact, I did not

Doesn’t explain why a different mods tire isn’t working but that one I assume is just being tricky rn with all the recent additions to that mod

[cyan vector]

whats the biggest modded map

[weary tangle]

if you really only care about the size:
https://www.beamng.com/resources/lands-of-sands.34867/

[cyan vector]

-Massive desert island with the size of 274,877.9 sq km / 106,130.9 sq miles
damn

gonna be driving for hours

[eager moss]

How can I get my afterfire sounds to start at a later rpm/under more load? I’ve setup a custom afterfire sound, but the pops start to early. When I’m driving they hit wayyyyy too early even on low throttle. How can I tune them to come in later?

[silver compass]

What have I done

[twilit python]

What does "num rays" mean/do for tire calculation?

[tight shuttle]

number of segments around the wheel's circumference, typically between 12(?) and 20 for average-sized vanilla wheels

[twilit python]

Gotcha. Would increasing it just make the tire deform more realistically? For a race tire. 15X10

[tight shuttle]

only if it's really big

https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/wheels/#numRays

[twilit python]

Gotcha, alr

Thank you

[clever kernel]

i got the skin o show up in paint design but ...

[silver compass]

make sure the canvas is the right aspect ratio and resolution

a lot of times it goes one pixel off for me

[clever kernel]

so your telling me if its 1 pixel off it can do that?

i was using paint.net

[brittle warren]

As long as its a power of 2 resolution it should be fine. Check the material editor to see what the skin.material shows

[silver compass]

yep, I’ve had that exact problem with that exact program too

[clever kernel]

i know you

[clever kernel]

lyan actually just helped me and we got it fixed

[clever kernel]

i got it a firend helped

[silver compass]

was that the problem?

[clever kernel]

the name wasnt in the materials file and my paint was messed up aswell

[fathom cliff]

Nah nobody has written me

[eager moss]

why is my car being a bitch and shaking everywhere lol

has no engine, or at least it cant run because its got the wrong fuel tank. suspension is mine and wip atm, idk why itd do this tho, spring rates way down. https://medal.tv/games/beamng/clips/mnGiEeHhBlbmNVUKu?invite=cr-MSxlaWIsNTgzOTQ5NjMw

[rancid wedge]

I'd guess that front frame crossmember isn't liking the new frame for some reason. I assume you can't move the nodes because of tge suspension mounts so maybe try reducing beam damp on some beams there and it will go away

[eager moss]

ok cheers

[rancid wedge]

It also helps to turn on beam visulisation and put the game in slowmotion until you see in what direction they are jittering in, that usually shows what beams are at fault

[tacit halo]

Why you got the chmsl?

Id imagine you wouldn't have that if you couldn't mount it high up lol

[vestal kayak]

guys does anyone know if its possible to fix a broken mod where you cant drive the car anymore?

[vestal kayak]

nvm figured it out i had to remove the driving electronics

[little portal]

I would lower the close and open force magnitudes by a ton

It looks like jbeam tri’s are colliding during the open and close

[silver compass]

this was a usdm config

[tacit halo]

Are chmsls mandatory on usdm cars even if there's no high mounting place?

[silver compass]

I think so

they usually go behind the back window

[tacit halo]

I have seen that manufacturers integrate em into the trunk in cabrios (like the bx has) so maybe take textures and mats from there, it just looks weird like that,

[silver compass]

[bleak spindle]

Hello people.. so i am working on a small project of mine and i wanted to ask if anyone knows how i can make a mod that overrides the default beamng photos. if anyone could help me i would appreciate it

[tight shuttle]

just a heads up that any such mods (that directly replace or override vanilla content) aren't allowed on the repo

[bleak spindle]

i mainly wanna make it cause my friends also want the photos..

and i wanna convinient instead of having to manual change each photo.

i mainly wanna avoid this thing...

[tacit halo]

oh my god please tell me you arent putting them in full resolution

[bleak spindle]

they compress themselves.

[tacit halo]

the screenshots get the resolution lowered automatically? i dont think so

but no you gotta do it manually

[bleak spindle]

i guess not..

[tacit halo]

theres a reason why thumbnails are like 500x281

theres hundreds of them and the menu loads all of them at once

you are making the menu run much much much much much slower if you do not resize the images to 500x281

[bleak spindle]

ok... cant i use inkscape to decrease the photo DPI?

[tacit halo]

yes

downscale all of them to 500x281

[bleak spindle]

ok. so this adds another step to my progress.
Choose Map -> Choose Car -> Take Photo -> Copy it to Backup Folder -> Decrease DPI with inkscape -> Rename -> Override

[tacit halo]

yes

[bleak spindle]

i'm fine.

welp time to start over..

[bleak spindle]

this is the closest i can do.

[tight shuttle]

you might wanna use a dedicated raster editor like gimp or paint.net

[tacit halo]

wait i just noticed he mentined inkscape????

why the hell would you use inkscape for raster image related stuff???

[bleak spindle]

i use it to make cards...

this types of cards

[tacit halo]

but inkscape is vector software not raster software

[bleak spindle]

what is the difference?

[tacit halo]

one is designed to work with vectors one is designed to work with pixels

id imagine something dedicated would be faster

[bleak spindle]

i mean it still scales it down?

Tf is happening to the multiplayer mod ds server?

Good question

[west fjord]

spam bot telling everybody they got hacked

i got over 5k notifications in 5 mins

[solar wraith]

yea

[rose summit]

aint that bad just a discord server attack

[west fjord]

ik

[rose summit]

legit everyone is acting like it will affect everyones pc

i mean yeah the sites down but that is probably a safety thing a precaution

[west fjord]

ik we did not get hacked

[rose summit]

i even got my stuff on autoupdate, still not hacked my pc is running normal

i did wanna do some beammp content today but i guess not (beammp banger racing)

[west fjord]

i dont have any antivirus besides windows defender

[rose summit]

oh yeah same i am gonna run a scan check

[west fjord]

me too

[rose summit]

nothing

all is good

[west fjord]

i wouldve believed it if it wasnt for that weird ahh image at the bottom

[rose summit]

hell i might risk opening beammp

[rose summit]

huh

[west fjord]

yeah

[rose summit]

opening now

[west fjord]

there was some red guy with arabic text at the top and download now all of it

[rose summit]

ok so it does not connect to beam

[rose summit]

Oh that is harmless

[west fjord]

if i could send images in this server i would

[rose summit]

anything with arab is harmless truthfully it is more 80% harmless 20% not

9/10 times it just hackers that just wanna meme about

[unique zealot]

Its hysteria

[rose summit]

yeahhhhh

i mean they said do not open beammp yet i did twice

nothing happened

[glad zealot]

its so quiet here wow

[cosmic field]

damn it got raided

[rose summit]

this whole beammp being raided should be here tbh not off topic

[unique zealot]

Nothing was pushed to github so the client itself will be ok

[rose summit]

discord bot raids

so i doubt

[glad zealot]

everyone's too busy making it about themselves and fearmongering to use the right channel anyway

[rose summit]

no spike in cpu performance either or fan speed so it aint clientside hacks or anything

[rose summit]

those will be punished for such i guess

[knotty ginkgo]

is beamp down or sum?

[unique zealot]

KissMP watching this hysteria:

[rose summit]

bot raided so temporary it is

[knotty ginkgo]

oh do i get like malware or something

[weary tangle]

is kissmp abandoned or its still getting updates?

[rose summit]

Nah discord bot raided

i opened beammp it is fine

[knotty ginkgo]

alr well the website is down and the launcer wont work

[unique zealot]

Don’t even know tbh, all ik is it’s the other multiplayer mod

[rose summit]

just does not go to the beam game

[rose summit]

for now, they removed it all for safe guarding purposes

[knotty ginkgo]

alright thats good

[rose summit]

there is 2?

inside job? (joking)

[unique zealot]

Yeah, beammp and kissmp

[glad zealot]

the notifs are gone on the discord now

[rose summit]

yeesh

[unique zealot]

One blew up, the other became irrelevant

[rose summit]

nice to see they are working on it

[rose summit]

there is a motive

but would a modding community do that? actually nvm yes they would

I have seen so many virus coded mods in beamng

[weary tangle]

i doubt it, i mean beammp is really big, someone irrelevant probably did it for whatever reason you can guess

[rose summit]

I mean if you spent hours modding something for it to be under the rug and well ignored and forgotten

[unique zealot]

Modland mods, maybe but I have noticed for ages now, when scrolling through the channels, beammp’s server would always be down

[rare palm]

just do windows + r and type Shell:appsfolder and find beammp, and right click it and press uninstall

[unique zealot]

Like at least once a day down

[rare palm]

just do windows + r and type Shell:appsfolder and find beammp, and right click it and press uninstall

[rose summit]

why not take down the biggest competitor

[rose summit]

so no, there is no viruses detected in the app

[rare palm]

you never know with malicious hackers bro

[rose summit]

i checked, even reversed coded and look at the code

[rare palm]

still

[rose summit]

turtle, is a discord bot raider that?

[rare palm]

to be safe

the website is down bro

[rose summit]

be real

[rose summit]

by the devs themselves

[rare palm]

we dont know if the hackers got access to the game code and put in hack things

[weary tangle]

there are some petty modders, but i doubt they would do that, as it really wouldn't help them, especially if someone found out.
And they don't really earn from it, so there is no money incentive

[rose summit]

the devs shutdown the website preventing people from downloading it as a safe guarding measure

[rare palm]

ok ice cream muncher taken by lul

[rose summit]

which is the same for when you boot up the mod normally it does not connect to the main game

[rare palm]

exactly, uninstall to be safe.

[unique zealot]

There’s no push to the github so it’s only the discord

[rose summit]

exactly

[rare palm]

i dont trust this anyways

[rose summit]

he is getting pressed about me being right, which is wild

[rare palm]

what

[rose summit]

anyways at least i got a girlfriend

[rare palm]

bro dont start argue im just trying to be safe

[rose summit]

well try be safe

[rare palm]

i am why are u criticizing me

yes, MALICIOUS

[unique zealot]

The server

[rare palm]

yes

[rose summit]

this is a dm, it does not connect to the server at all like normal forwards

[rare palm]

malicious

[unique zealot]

They got the server back, im just forwarding it from there

[rose summit]

unless discord updated it

[unique zealot]

All discord raids are malicious, that doesn’t mean the client was attacked

[rare palm]

malicious mean virus and bad files right

[unique zealot]

And it’s on github too which means it would be visible very quickly and probably denied a push request

[rose summit]

looking through background apps and nothing

[unique zealot]

No, it means bad intent

It’s not exclusive to cybersec

[rare palm]

yes same thing bad files

but im tryna be safe

[unique zealot]

Idk what else to tell you, the client is safe

[rare palm]

im not playing it untill the beammp says its safe

[unique zealot]

Just don’t play it for now ig but uninstalling is a bit far

[rare palm]

no bro

i dont know what they did to it

[dry wren]

(they did nothing to it)

[rare palm]

ok but im not gonna play it

they dont know if its safe bro

they said DONT LAUCN BEAMMP

untill they confirm its safe

[rose summit]

i did it 3 times on accident so

and nothing came up

[rare palm]

virus scan or sum idk

[rose summit]

did it 3 times

[rare palm]

idk bro they maybe have secter files

[rose summit]

and nothing

[rose summit]

checked and nothing changed

[rare palm]

idk bro maybe its just best to not

[unique zealot]

The last release was December

[rare palm]

launch

[unique zealot]

They’ve did nothing to it

what

So, the actual beammp software is fine? Just the discord and website is down?

[rose summit]

basically

[rare palm]

bro my parents always tells me to if something is hacked just delete and wait for safe again

[glad zealot]

beammp have said dont open it so you can if you really want just dont blame them

[unique zealot]

Yes it’s fine, but their official advice is to still not launch it

[rare palm]

even if the smallest things

[rancid echo]

I did notice the website was not working correctly last night

[rose summit]

it does not open to beam though

[rare palm]

what do u mean

[rancid echo]

Unless that's just a normal ongoing issue

[rose summit]

i tried each time it would open to nothing

[glad zealot]

oh

[rose summit]

nope it opens to beam usually

[glad zealot]

ive not tried it so you know more than me

thats a point i can just play with the ai

[unique zealot]

If i launch beammp, i will be safe because Ive not updated in yonks

But nothing more safer than keeping your computer switched off

[velvet garnet]

And disconnected from the internet

[rose summit]

Ehhhh

I am doing everything the opposite rn i hate to say

[unique zealot]

Lmao

[velvet garnet]

More power to ya fam good luck

[meager rover]

i think the beammp thing is a april fools joke

[wheat copper]

its march lol

[meager rover]

3 days until april first, some people do april fools jokes before april first to trick more people

[wheat copper]

no 😂

actually a braindead take

literally nobody would find this funny

[weary tangle]

they deleted like all chat from what i see, that would be a pretty bad prank

[wheat copper]

if this was an april fools prank people would honestly be more mad

[weary tangle]

would leave a lot of bad taste, leaving some people to search for alternatives (kissMP)

[meager rover]

yeah actually probably im wrong

[ember wagon]

is beammp back up

[tacit halo]

no

[ember wagon]

alright thanks cause i checked website and its down

[wicked imp]

i need some good drift mods

[steel marten]

bro just take a look at the official beammp discord

[wicked imp]

pls send help

[ember wagon]

Is there another

[steel marten]

wdym

its on the beam mp discord server

[ember wagon]

I left it

[steel marten]

oh

[midnight iron]

Bit early for a april fools joke😅

[rugged crystal]

Guys i have chattet with the beammp Instagram and they said we are NOT hacked

But there still investigating

[ember wagon]

I figured it was haha

"Yea just check the nuked obliterated server"

[fiery ember]

helloo, newbie here.
my controller is in mods\unpacked\mod_name\lua\vehicle\extensions\controller\name.lua

how would i access it from a input action? vlua btw
"onUp": "extensions.name.toggleMode()",
tried this but no help

[brittle warren]

This is exactly how mine works but mine is gelua

[fiery ember]

Ahhh gotcha.. Mine is vlua and I cant get it to work for the hell of it

the lua is loaded since its printing 24/7 but the action doesnt do anything

[brittle warren]

you could just have it set an electric value and vlua read it

Thats what i do for vlua

[mystic igloo]

can someone make a corvette mod with a working interior for automation? i can only play on geforce now and i would love for someone to be able to do that

[patent jackal]

wdym for automation

[brittle warren]

They can only use automation carsfrom the repo on geforece now

[patent jackal]

You can use repo repo mods to tho

[tacit halo]

wba regular mods?

like repo

[brittle warren]

Yea i was just saying thats why they mentioned automation cause u cant put q corvette on the repo but can get very close with automation

[patent jackal]

Materials are fun I love materials

[mystic igloo]

automation would be fine

[long sphinx]

why is beammp down???

[rose summit]

But is it back

[unique zealot]

no

not right now currently

[rose summit]

Yeesh

Youtubers are gonna struggle if they cannot bring it back

[patent jackal]

1st of all why is that first thing that comes to mind
2nd I dont think they will struggle just cause they cant interact
3rd Give it a day or 3

[brittle warren]

I mean youtubers shouldn't base there content ona single mod for a video game if there gonna struggle that mp is down

[weary tangle]

in worst case scenario, they can use kissMP and only play with friends, or invite viewers

[brittle warren]

I us3d to use kissmp so much

Still have it on my pc lol

[weary tangle]

i used it once for splitscreen, worked well. I see that it is still getting updated which is nice (last change on github was 4 months ago)

[brittle warren]

Using nucleus coop? Thats why I used it

[weary tangle]

one benefit of kissMP is that it goes directly into mod folder, so its very easy to install and delete, and i think it doesn't break each update

[brittle warren]

When I was using it I never had issues with it but it was a while ago

[weary tangle]

yeah, surprisingly i could handle it even with a weak pc, but everything had to be dropped to lowest tho, and one was running 30fps and other 60fps

[brittle warren]

My pc was worse than my current pc i was getting maybe 10 15 fps then lol

[rugged crystal]

Hey guys I have an issue where on the BeamNG Website my config pack has all the configs from the 2 updates, but when I get it from the ingame repo and unpack the file it only has the configs from the first update, any idea why?

[unique zealot]

why are you unpacking it

wait nvm

[viral lion]

Checking if it has all the configs

[unique zealot]

sorry i misread and didnt see it was yours

is it from the web version of the repo?

[viral lion]

Basically when I download my config from the site it has both updates, but from the repo it only has the first which is odd...

[unique zealot]

that is weird, did you do any update to it recently?

[viral lion]

Yes uhh like 2 weeks ago I posted an update and i've been getting word that the config pack is missing some configs sooo i decided to test it myself by removing my original vehicle files and it turns out despite it saying the mod is in the 1.1 update it only has the configs from the 1.0 update

[unique zealot]

send a link to it

[viral lion]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/the-methmobile-config-pack.36207/

You don't need to get the mods it needs for now just check that it has the configs

[unique zealot]

you might need to raise a ticket tbh, this could potentially be an issue that might need escalating

[viral lion]

I redownloaded the config pack and looking in the file it has the files for the configs but they dont show up

[viral lion]

Do you mind booting up BeamNG with that config pack and can check if it has "Methmobile Absolute" in Bruckell Bastion and "Methmobile V2" in Miramar

[unique zealot]

its your lucky day because i have it open, the repo page

[viral lion]

What I think is going on is for some reason despite the mod being the 1.1 update (with configs like the Methmobile Absolute) it's only showing configs from the 1.0 update (with configs like the Methmobile V2)

[unique zealot]

it has neither

[viral lion]

That is extremely odd..

[unique zealot]

but i havent ijnstalled all the required mods though i dont really want to have to install them but they should still show up

its only the vehicle selector though

[viral lion]

Yeah they should show up even without the mods

ima try deactivate my mods and only have the config pack to see if it happens for me aswell

[unique zealot]

even in game, nothing turns up

[viral lion]

that's extremely weird...

Unpack your version of the config pack and check inside it

i've deactivated my mods to check it

[unique zealot]

methmobile absolute, yes?

[viral lion]

That is one of the configs from the 1.1 update

[unique zealot]

the files are downloaded but no configs at all show up

[viral lion]

Same for me I just checked now

[unique zealot]

i'll try loading it in from the file

[viral lion]

Im gonna activate the mods it needs and see if the Methmobile V2 shows up because if it doesn't that's a problem

Because I initially thought it was only missing the configs from the 1.1 update

[unique zealot]

dragging and dropping it in

[viral lion]

Thats how it should look without mods

So it has the files, but they're not showing up

Could it be that i've created the config pack incorrectly?

[unique zealot]

logs but nothing relevant tbh

it doesnt seem like it, your file structure is fine

[viral lion]

The way I created it was I looked at a few other config packs and how they created theirs and It seems they just have the PC File, Thumbnail and a JSON file with nothing in them

[unique zealot]

theres a skins and config channel in the modding for dummies discord, you might get better help than I can provide there

[viral lion]

DM it

[viral lion]

Before I ask them I think i might've found a possible issue

You notice how the config pack's file structure goes ZIP File > Methmobile Config Pack and Mod Info > Vehicles

[unique zealot]

yep

[viral lion]

Whereas a normal config pack like Fallgems config pack has ZIP File > Vehicles and Mod Info

I think what the issue is, is this shouldn't be in the files

[brittle warren]

When you packed it did you pack it in game or using winrar/7zip?

[unique zealot]

seems to be it lol

[viral lion]

im gonna modify the zip file and move Vehicles with Mod Info

[viral lion]

ingame

Im gonna unpack it and move the vehicles folder up

So now, it looks like this

Well... what dy'a know... after moving the vehicles folder up next to mod info, it has fixed it

both the Methmobile Absolute and Methmobile V2 are showing up

[viral lion]

I shouldn't worry about changin the file name right?

@unique zealot thank you for the help, i really appreciate it

can someone point me where to look for car templates if i'm looking to make my own skin? should i be looking in in game files or the beam website for sample skins? sorry i don't know where to begin 😮

[tacit halo]

most vehicles should have something called skin_uv.png in them

[quiet quartz]

tysm sm!! @tacit halo

[patent jackal]

Does beamng have any hearse mods

Or should I make that and put BeamMP in the back

[unique zealot]

there is a grand marshall one

[crystal wraith]

Plenty

[unique zealot]

[brittle warren]

Didnt someone just put one on the repo?

Does anyone know of any Right hand drive S2000 mods?

[unborn flax]

how can i tell the game to ignore fuel types for engine if the engine comes from automation ? and i use the mod Automation Engine swaps for ev

[fiery ember]

Maybe I cant model but I can do UI and Code :)

The Media and Navigation widget still needs doing so ye

Opinions? Tried to make it not too modern etc

Also going to be interactive

[tacit halo]

what year range is this? if its similar to the etk itself, consider getting some 3d like button icons

[fiery ember]

ETK800 ig soo 2016-2018ish

[tacit halo]

for example the car i drive (astra K 2015-2020) has these earl/mid 2010 ui buttons

i think something like this would fit better

[fiery ember]

Ahhhh I get what you mean. Ill look into it for sure

[tacit halo]

esp since the 800 is 2013-2018

[fiery ember]

Still gotta figure out how to make interactions

Anyone have some intel on spotify with beamng?

For instance song names showing up ingame on the car infotainment

[brittle warren]

You have to run a server on your pc. I stream audio info into the game the same way

For the server you can use windows media protocol or whatever its called to get song title name and duration

[fiery ember]

Ooh alright thank you

thanks @brittle warren

[fiery ember]

U export the whole thing as an svg?

[brittle warren]

Im saying each svg is its own file

[fiery ember]

Thats how I do it personally
