It uses volumetric shaders, no models and it doesn’t use the particle system
spoolini what is gonna be the next mod
polini
is there a particular reason why the flame shows up like 0.1 second before the sound effect? it looks really offputing
Yeah
looks like it triggers below redline
the sound activates at redline, and the flames look like they appear right when the shift indicator lights up
set a triangulate modifier only for ngons and apply all modifiers on export (theres a setting for that on the dae exporter)
for some ngons youll be fine but beamng doesnt have a good ngon to tri algorithm so some will make it implode
alr
I'll just be careful and try to triangulate from base
should i be careful keeping with how many sides my rims have
like does it have any effect, at all
because for the outer ring, i can use 64 since it's round anyways
but the design is 5 sided and it's easier to work on 50 sides in order to get simmetric geometry
64 is fine
id try to never have more than 64
most of my rims are in the 50-60 range
old vanilla rims are 32, new ones are 48
yeah but i mean
it doesnt matter that its 50 right
you can use whatever you want as long as its not over like 70
didnt even know vanilla rims were lower than 64
i'll stick to 48 then
great, thanks
*48 for the ones that can be done with 48, i personally always go a bit higher
keep it in mind :3
this will probably come to naught
i'm trying to make an audi S1
what are some mods to make the interior camera more realistic?
still if you follow best practices at least youll learn how to do it right
i'm building it on a 50 side circle with the center cap being 25
i think it'll turn out ok
trying to modify jack the fox's mod to spawn propane tanks (ole reliable https://www.beamng.com/resources/explosive-propane-tank.186/ ) but its spawning mechanism is beyond my lua knowledge. any tips?
https://www.beamng.com/resources/rear-spike-strip-deploy.36723/
if anyone's played smuggler's run 2, yknow what i'm tryna do 😉
Contact the creators for help if you don’t understand their mods
Also careful around editing other peoples mods without permission
For personal use and no distribution, if a modder has a problem with that they shouldn't make mods that aren't binary blobs
10k
Look sick
should be less since center cap is still a separate object
Honestly I think I want a scaled down version of that for my mod xD
and thus has triangles closing it off even tho it shouldnt be
awwwr
thats nice
this is a 17in rim off an audi
omfg
lol just imagine those wheels on there
the thing!!!!
was it a nissan or somthing??
ye
Ignore the hoodstack
Can anyone help me install a car mod I’m new to the game and ts highkey confusing
is it wise to make a 3d model before knowing anything else
Wouldnt hurt I barely have any knowledge either tho lol
ahhh okay thank you ill keep an eye out for it then
Gave +1 Reputation to @glacial garden (current: #2225 - 1)
what is it
A little s10 truck
where from
Lxvme’s patreon
What does that mean
well what did you download from their patreon
It is a zip file i see that now
open beamng, go to mods, then open mod folder, then paste mod
Okie dokie
wait you can just do that???
like with content manager??
aint no way i've been dropping them off onto the mod folder with windows like an idiot
Wrong s10
That’s a square body s10
Shameless plug but not out yet
if you dont want to open beam fully you can just view the contents of the userfolder and drag and drop it there
I did the first thing u said but I don’t see it in my mods list do I have to refresh beam?
hit crl+R
can you screenshot where you pasted it? if you did it right it should work
can you go back to the folder titled "mods" cant really see anything that can verify its installed correctly
or wait...
Idk where that is
what you showed that is the mod folder?
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current\mods
I think so yeah
uhhh. thats not a zipped mod.
it should come zipped, it just saves storage
it just adds parts?
And this in the other
try dragging it into the "unpacked" folder in the mod folder
How does one do that
in the mod folder, is there a folder named unpacked
et voila
3320 triangles
add a folder there by right clicking and under new, then folder, then name the folder unpacked
Like this?
honestly this really shouldn't matter I believe any mod pasted in the mod folder will work no matter what.
yes. then drag the mod inside the folder you just created
Done
now go in beam and crl R
anyone in any good mod servers for beam?
Didn’t do anything
try closing in and out of beam?
Ok
like restarting it
no problem
Ok wait it’s in my mods thing but I don’t see it on my vehicle thing
might just be a poop mod yknow
you can try
you've unzipped/extracted the mod. just straight paste it there next time
Packing it didn’t do nun
the process for installing zip mods is on the official beamng website, literally all you do is drag and drop the zip file into your current>mods folder. don't extract it, don't put it anywhere else, thats all you need to do
does anyone have the UV map for the pre-remastered 200bx? i need it to change an old skin i have to the new car
nevermind found them
Ok I’m hitting a wall with something
There’s a mod that has tires I like, unfortunately, they’re only usable on the car from the mod
Trying to get them working on vanilla rims
I’ve gotten them to show up in the parts menu, and have a common folder in an unpacked version of the mod
Right now, I’m stuck with a problem where they’re in the parts menu and selectable, but they don’t actually show up on the wheel (and sometimes they break other textures)
Shaders are hard
Shaders are still hard but were getting somewhere lol
how do i use a mod that needs to be extrakted
what mod is it? If it HAS to be extracted, it will usually have instructions somewhere on the mod page
Why does it need to be extracted?
idk its just a leaked mod
telling you to extract a vehicle mod is hella sus
It being leaked is worse too
99.9% chance of a virus with these 2 things in mind...
Well its still a mod. Install it like you eoyld others. But perhaps scan it first
just help me
a vehicle mod should just be placed in "mods" folder that is inside "current" as a zip. Plain and simple.
it is folder
if you really want it extracted, make a new folder before the "mods" folder and name it "vehicles" and there you can have it outside the zip
If its a .zip then just put it in mods
its just a folder
So its already extracted then. Compress it into a zip and put it in mods
put it here then
as its a leaked mod, if you get a virus its at your own risk, dont blame me
i dont care i just want volvo
https://www.beamng.com/threads/volvo-242-le.35188/ https://www.beamng.com/threads/volvo-240.63254/ download these and put it in the mods folder and dont extract either
also this should be in #mods-discussion, this channel is for making mods
sorry but those ar not that good
take it or leave it
i had it all working ages ago
then it just randomly stoped working
i have no clue why its not reading from that dir
I agree with hack security or good mods?
Sometimes you can get both but sometimes you gotta choose
But also the unsecure ones usually suck to lol
Can I get a duramax in there?
Should fit
Mods go in mods. Not vehicles 🥲
they had a unzipped mod, as its very questionably sourced mod... and unzipped mods don't go into mods folder (unless you make unpacked mods folder, but vehicles is kinda simpler but whatever)
Green means good right?
the light is not turning any greener !!!!
Learning shaders is really hard way harder than lua
someone managed to add in parallax occlusion to materials using shaders, pretty crazy
Yea um TheEndOf Nether did i saw the demo stuff theyve shown
seat
Thats hot can we get 4k render
the fake leather material still needs some actual materialing
what curves
im still not sure how to pbr this but eh
its all geometry
😭
oof
yall wanna see my seats
if blender starts up lol
Does blender need ether?
I didnt model them lol
That would hurt
I cant imagine the ones lichi made
LORD HELP ME
I made the dash
it looks.... unique
wait thats not the one
Screw it I hate web images
Yes Beamender
well ive spent like 2 days on them already
THATS IT
Seriously dude thats quick for stuff like that in my books
yeah well ive been modeling for 5 years
wizard
How long is 2 days
Like an hour per day or 10 hours per day?
48 hours
i wish i had the attention span
last time i tried 3d modelling it took me 3 hours to make a very simple low poly taillight
cus i kept yapping on a discord serv
And i had the reference in blender for like a week before i got my ass ready to do it
do you plan on beamng-ifying it?
I was badly procrastinating it because it was a 16inch 5lug not a 17 6lug
Yeah
So harder to find a vanilla jbeam to meshlap
Of what?
of this
cause it would look rlly nice for an offroad build
Nah im keeping to irl spec. Its a Land Rover Discovery (2 i think) wheel
Had some on my built 110
oh oke
I have done 6lug 17inch ATI AT01 (left) and KMC Machetes (right) though
oo
they look good
ATIs got 2 dish depths, the 0 offset ones pictured, Machetes have only one.
Both have silver/black/colourable too, and ive made beadlocks for all my 17 wheels with the same coloura
They’re decent but not amazing
The ATIs were my first wheel i ever modelled
Took 2 goes
Then I did KMCs
Then I did these, completely custom design i made up on the go. Only one dish, only black/silver colours
Then i did the disco wheels
If u want i can send over the first three?
nah its fine
im gonna try to recreate an unreleased ui asset, it was originally shown by GhostInTheLeague but he seems to have disappeared off the internet, so I have no way of contacting him about possibly uploading this to the forums (definitely not gonna be approved on the repo given the circumstance)
already prototyping smthn in Figma, will export to svg so i can make sure everything's swell
The other day it was like 5 hours and yesterday maybe like 3?
Buy I spent like 2 hours of those 5 making the seat
being the freedom riddled shit I am I decided to put a V16 in a corvette... if you decide to put the time in to fully customize it it's worth it I got it to top out at 310
yeah okay
how do i install custom cars
For All The People Who Make Paid Mods (Kenemation Mods And Raidsky) There Are People Stealing Your Mods And Putting Them On Mods Browser (Modsfire And ModsShot) I Know You Might Already Know This.
Why Do You Capitalize Like This?
I Dont Even Know
Does anyone know what node on a jbeam I need to edit to adjust the height of the intake so the engines don’t flood from water?
I want to make a fake snorkle for the PGP 12v Cummins for a specific map with deep water and I can’t seem to figure it out.
Iv edited the intake node, the turbo node, and basically all nodes that are associated with the turbo which I would assume is what’s sucking in the water and I made them above the roof just for a test and it still floods
What slot type is the nine rear crossmember?
Making a bumper. But it’s gotta attach to the crossmember since that slot is always on any frame
my concept is done, i wanna share it but i dont know where to.
lmao how did i miss that channel
those other icon slots will be filled, that bottom portion is gonna be an odometer
im just not sure how to implement it lol
never actually done lua before so this'll either be the most polished turd available or somehow be the best tachometer on the repo
Is there a decent quality 8 gen civic mod ( us or japan 4 door preferably)
Ive been trying to find a US sedan so I can make my IRL car lol. There are some good JDM ones online
can i somehow make a prop spawn multiple props in different locations?
like i want to make a cone jbeam once that can deform and fly away if kicked and then spawn it with a parent object alot in different locations without moving the flexbody and needing to make the jbeam individually for everything
is there a 240z mod that isnt a meshslap
how do i fix this shit pls 😭
that piece of shit mirror part (theyre joined) uses the secondary
what the fuck? 😭
Uv issue probably
Mmm yes particles
anyone know how to get a prop to show up as a prop in game? I wrote some jbeam and i wanna test it. I zipped the file and put it in my mods folder, but its not appearing. maybe Im missing a file?
keep it unpacked while testing it for a start
info.json?
Ok I’m working on bumpers again.
Encountering a problem where the mesh deforms way too much even though the nodes and triangles barely move
Also.
Side question.
If, inside the bumper jbeam, I add beams that ONLY go between frame nodes, will that also help if I need it to rigidify the frame? Without making it a seperate part?
Bumper? It’s rock solid
Frame? Folds like a tissue
Add them on the frame?
It makes no sense not having them there
UV maps
Max made me do this
The side bar things inspired me to make a garbage buggy thing
Also your bars look sick btw
I’m getting close.
The front and rear are fully built, with frame reinforcement (just need some beam tuning)
The sides are almost finished too
I will need help with the beam tuning so it doesn’t bounce the car back and stays intact on low speed stuff, but actually deforms on high speed stuff
thank you. good advice
Gave +1 Reputation to @unique zealot (current: #46 - 105)
not sure but having it not zipped + adding a .pc file (which im not sure is totally necessary) seemed to help
i already had an info.json file included when it wasnt working
Not perfect yet but yea
I'm trying to use the flowgraph editor to do AI race things, but it locks the f11 key, so I can't check it's state. Or if I start it in the flowgraph editor, I can't get out of world editor. Anyone know how I'm meant to get around this?
didn't work unfortunately, but I found where the lockout controlls were instead. But now it doesn't show it actively working, whilst the thing is running
how do I self promote? can I just post in here? I just dropped a new beamng video.
Please tell me this isn’t a private mod 🙏

Does anyone know what the best engine mods are? I've already got RV SOUND, PGP, CEEPS, Ibishu Plus, Ibuishi expansion, Kljp, Dream engine pack full+ and a whole bunch of other repo engine mods.
you can grab all of javi's mods (the person who made ceep)
This is all the mods i have @pale hare
how do u do a custom map on career mode?
Anyone trying to make hundreds of different textures like this for me lol?
only a 100
well im trying to make like every type of firework with multiple flavors each so hundreds lol. Id generate them but people dont like that lol
yeah id rather have no box that ai generated slop, you could maybe make a few per type of firework
what i would do is use ingame locations, or vehicles, and use that as base texture, and then add a cool text onto it
can be a fun sidequest
Idk what yall are expecting i cant do image editing lol thats why im here lol asking
you can learn?
i mean, its as simple as getting a background gradient, some random weird clipart and then maybe using one of those old ass text generators that everybody used for powerpoint presentations
youll never be able to do image editing unless you start somewhere
and this is a thing that i dont think many people would care if it looks like ass
image editing also has immediate results (but big part of it is thinking how to design it..)
Heat distortion would be sick
What roadster mods are there?
how to i save this car mod ive been modifying to make it shareable to other people do i just zip it back up
Would any Aussies in here know where I could find some good footage of the 6Stage 4wd track in Yalwal region NSW, I have a heightmap for the track, and I need some good drone footage or a good youtube video where I can see the full main track and how its laid out, instead of just snippets of each obstacle like the youtube videos out there mostly focuses on. If anyone either knows of some good footage, or could even get out there and get some footage for me, itd really help the map development 🤙
where?
anyone know how to scroll sideways in the console?
Cant, have to hover above the entry
did i put it in the wrong folder ?
No
okay kinda lookslike it XD no disrespact
Its ok
ok
Whats with this music
i wane let it play in the background in my map
Any maps you know having this?
i need ogg right
i mean is for my map im building
the file format like mp4 and wav mp3 and so on
I understood but I mean did you ever use one map having music like you are trying to make
no tbh i have no idea i going whit waht i see in the radio ui app
like i see here
i meanis also listed at the beamng wiki
i found a way
Try it
here
I see

i can't open the color map .dds files on gimp, the compression type for whatever reason isn't supported. does anyone know of a program that can open these files that isn't paint.net?
we're now getting fireworks in beamng 😭
Ts sounds could fit good on barstow
does it sound odd?
Personally I don't hear anything wrong with it
I added the dynamic cargo load from the tanker to the container trailer, everything works fine until I pick up the cargo
whats a good map for rock crawling and offroad

Terrain deformation was just added to BeamNG. In this video, I showcase its functionality, limitations and talk about future possibilities with it.

you should rename yourself to EverythingModGuy
your making terrain deformation, alien abduction and now... fireworks
what next, fire fighting things to fight the fire?
I think someone for the modding challange made a truck that shoots fire like a firetruck would water so im sure its doable lol

i created a server its private server playing online now and recording it for upload later any want to join ure welcome
@brittle warren i guess i found a bug in your mod but im not sure
the terrain deforms if the material is asphalt
Asphalt does deform too, if a bunch of trucks drive on it 😅
The actual ground model must not be asphalt then because its set to false so it cant move at all
ah okay
Maybe could be a bug tho. What map is that?
derby arenas
Oh wtf
Okay weird thats the map I test on and never had that happen but ill look into it later lol
alr
Also this dorsnt work because the website is blocking you so is the game. Its sandbox you cant play live music ever
ah alr thx

Thats just so if there is something broken or overriding the base game. The mod review team will tell you so you can fix it before its uploaded
okay
so now i just need to wait now
Yea and if your mod has any lua in it, its going to take a while as there is only 1 person who reviews lua mods.
oh i have lua for the autodrive
Mine took like a week and a half so id say maybe that long or shorter if not many mods get uploaded for them to look through
yea true
random thing but jsyk theres a setting to make it so you cant see obs from well obs
But also like the firework lol
I miss jimmy

Anyone here good at making sounds loop without clicking?
Sounds are hard
the sound is soo good
They are so annoying to get right when using samples because tehy all are moving samples and i need static samples so they sound right when i move the sound in game lol
is there a good w222 s class mod? afaik bbmods is good(?) his mod isnt available anywhere tho
All burst modes so far.

-# Pessima Mk.2 Refresh mod
As soon as the car spawns in the door just freaks the hell out
Trying to recreate the default spark particle in blender to change the color how's it look?
Mount the launcher to a car
And weaponize it
You can node grab it so you can do that. But id have to make the actual firework a jbeamed thing or use a raycast to see if it hit a vehicle to show damage

Idk what this is but it looks amazing
Is there a general "etiquette" if I went ahead and fixed an old mod where the textures were broken and the creator hasn't been online for a long-ish time? I would like to share the updated version so it doesn't look as bad anymore.
you usually have to ask for permission
bbmods bmw e38 has that, window textures are broken
can do really cool stuff with particles really
Unfortunately they are rendered on the cpu
Which no modern game engine does
IS that why my game lags so bad?
Yep
Damn so shader it is i guess
I guess use sprites that have multiple textures at once
like eg how the confetti one works
For this one here as well i added render distances. because the engine itself doesnt disable them. you could be millions of km away and it would still render them
Im using hundreds or thousands of emmitters per firework. So i guess im going to need to switch to using a shader because i cant make it any less lagy the way it is or it looks terrible
I use the emitter positions for other things also . I have not seen a single thing i can do that comes close to what im doping with only emitter settings and a single emitter.
Well ok if you need it super custom then yeah go for a shader
I really wish i could do it with simple emitters sadly i havent figured out a way to do that
Well if there is no one to ask, the modder was last seen on the forum in January.
BRo january is nothing ive talked to modders who havent been active in years
Well guess I try my luck and see if I get any sort of reply
Who is the modder?
Blijo on the Repo/Forum
There a moderator for this discord. You could ping them and ask i doubt they would mind you asking. There names the same
That's good to know, not really enjoy pinging people out of the blue so I will give it a few days to see if the message gets a reply and if not I'll try the pinging
Why are shaders so hard. I just want funcky particles man
Getting somewhere finally
how do i load a level via a costum button in the menu i use the smaple button as base

Yo guys can somebody tell me how to bind up an ogg file to an electrics value? I am working on a mod and it is one of the most needed things right now. Just when a key is pressed, play an ogg file, and when its not pressed, dont play the ogg file
idk but i have a radio mod that playes via ui app
Woww!
Its a plane mod
Im making
gelua or velua
summin
Making a flat map that is 4kx4k, is this based on texture res, or can you just change the sqaureSize of the terrain, like in the template map?
If the heightmap is 4k and square size is 1 the map will be 4k meters with terrain points at a meter from each other. IF its 4k with a square size of .5 the map is 2k meters with terrain points half a meter apart
Yeah, cause I used the template island and change the squareSize to 4, and the terrain painter was horrible. 😂
Oof yea that couldnt be fun to paint on
hey guys im new to beamng i want to make a shitbox that has the most ridiculous turbo lag like it feels slow from 0-120 then it boosts to 400km/h
dm me if u could help me, ty :)
Lovely vee ate mowdur sounds as usual
not everyday i can hear an actually good sounding big block in beamng
also applies to engine sound modding in general too
and i have tons more i could do
i did seen some guys made the sound mod but most of them dont get updated nouw
different types of v8s,flatplane, race, stock, more pushrod, small block, modern.
v10, v12
w16 hehe
1.9 TDI🤑
lol
for your sound mod what i realised is that you only doing mostly the V8 sounds as far as i know
but yours is more consistent with quality over quantity
🗣️
thats right i always try that
💥
its better more fun to have quality
me like that philosophy
That's fire as heck
Although I think what beamng drive most lacks is a different V6 engine sound
It only uses one single V6 engine sound. Which honestly feels too repetitive since I dig v6 sounds
*Inserting V6 pessima GT-R sound file
What mods do people use that make beamng feel more immersive

BeamNG to RTX Remix Bridge.
Vehicles don't deform yet. Lua doesn't expose the deformed mesh in any way
So my next plan is to reverse engineer the binary and find where that geometry lives. Then send it over to Remix.
im not really sure if its worth it..
Kenemation is a scam. Also this would go in here #mods-discussion
Whats the blue triangle in the bottom?
like heavily overpriced or
That's the test triangle I made to see if I could even get the game to send data via the api
Over priced forza models of mods that someone has probably already made for free
i know that twixer's is free and its a pretty good mod, even the taillights from the meshslap show
I just hate mods that cost almost the same price as the game when you get something that is pretty much slightly better meshslap with buttons everywhere
yea true
That was easier than expected. Perf is bad but it can be optimized later and there are no motion vectors.
yo why do some mods get stuck on unpacking
never happened for me.
is there any way to use the mod without pressing unpack
it just loads forever it seems like
Never unpack a mod. If it needs to be unpacked then the author doesnt know what they are doing.
ive never seen a mod that appears in my cars without pressing unpack
Only unpack if you need contents quick
am I doing something wrong
if youre unpacking a mod youre working on that mod
(not meaning to steal but idk what you where gonna do with it)
how do I enable the vehicle without unpacking then
You’re installing them wrong
enabling
how do I install 😭
with the checkmark on bottom right (to enable)
Where are you putting them? Send a ss
in repo I cant send ss
where should I be putting them
Get uplink role #roles
I need to actually see a picture to understand fully
He shouldn’t have to do that, more likely he’s installing them wrong
is there a different place I install them to
Put them into the folder you took the screenshot there. “Mods”. Leave them as compressed zip files, they shouldn’t be unzipped/extracted, and they shouldn’t be put in “repo”
ok
sometimes if ur mods dont show, just restart the game
Send me a screenshot once you worked it out and ill make sure you done it right
Yeah. I rarely install mods with the game going
i often install mods with the game going
Yes, always install mods now. Launch the game, and they should show. No unpacking required
Ive never installed one with the game closed lol
Do the same for maps, any mod you download off the internet should be installed like that
Huh well i guess im special
Game just does game stuff lol
Probably because i got in the habit of it on my steamdeck. I think because the way wine ran beam, every time i installed a mod whilst games running, the mods manager would show up blank. Like i didn’t have anything. Then I’d restart the game and back to normal. Pretty sure it had something to do with the linux stuff
im too lazy to not use the shortcut to the mods file there is in beam
takes too long to find the file trough file explorer
Pfft mines on my desktop
lol
i be too lazy to have the knowledge

Nodes not connected to the flexbody. I know damn well its the proper group
Ok uh.
New question
Flexbody doing a fucky.
I have no clue how to use blender. How can I fix this?
Please, I wanna figure this out before I sleep
You should sleep, I stayed up way too late trying to figure out stuff like that 😭 looks to be a material issue though. You can open the car's model in blender and check which material that part uses
Not materials
The flexbody is separating into parts
I can fix materials later
I need to figure out why the hell it’s tearing apart under deformation like that
Are there graphic mods?
CKs Skybox isn’t technically one but it definitely improves the games look
Zeits graphics mod is decent too
guys i started making ambient light for my mod, give me some feedback if i'm doing it right 
I write jbeam alone, and I do everything myself (3D model, textures)
It absolutely is one
Changes sunsky, better lighting
I’d call it one
Well idk
Its probably the best mod for beam tho imo
More work on Beam with RTX. The performance is straight poo but hey something is happening. The car doesn't turn into a smear anymore.
Awesome, keep going with that!
Considering I started with this yesterday, it's good progress speed.

Beamng rtx remix mod (Patreon only)
Wait, I could be rich
hi is there any good ambulance mods? (best if it is mercedes)
how do upscale the model without it looking wonky?
bc the car is tiny ingame
ctrl a all transforms
Questions for anyone who has modded a map before. I am looking to create custom street names for the minimap UI so all streets (atleast most) can have a name. I am going to create a python app that will easily create new ones based off input coordinates. After i do that, what will be the best way to add the custom locations into my game, and share it with friends? I discovered these locations are stored in Beamng/content/levels/<levelname.zip>/levels/<level name>/city.sites.json
I am new to modding maps and not sure how to add new custom data
i want to make bumpers for the bx, how do import its model and jbeam into blender?
By drag and dropping the .dae of the vehicle into blender. Ensure your blender install supports collada. Versions since 5 dont anymore
theres no .dae file in the bx folder, only the jbeam and i cant import that
There is certainly, each car has it
its right next to the .cdae filer
Make sure you are looking into the right content zip tho. Its in your game installation, not your userfolder. And then /content/vehicles/bx.zip
And in there /vehicles/bx/bx.dae if i dont misremember
Oh wow. I managed to improve the perf. I guess Beam with rtx is viable afterall
Sorry for the bad resolution. I'm remote streaming on my crappy laptop
Visit that place with your file explorer. its in a zip file. extract it. how exactly you then import the jbeam im clueless, maybe can just drag and drop them into blender, just never done that
throws an error
hm. worked straight for me
Your best bet is to search for a tutorial that proclaims doing what your seeking
Fixed rotation desync. That's pretty much it for vehicle geometry. Now on to the world map
Okay looks like the lua doesn't expose any map models either. I'll have to parse the models files myself
That's a job for tomorrow burrito
tried that, even reinstalling steam and blender, but it shows the folder as empty
importing a model from my external mod folder works tho
wish me luck imma make headlight blanking plates
does soembody know modeling? is my model good?
What’s exactly the point of this?
anyone know how to swap the texture of a hood from like metal to carbon on a mod
Lore-Friendly old MB?
Lt
i cant see much from that, its just a low res wireframe
well not evne wireframe?
how do you play mu;tiplayer
wtf are you modeling this in
if i make a mod for beamng, does it have to go through a approval process?
i wanna make the WRC front fender canards for the cherrier vivace since nobody has made them
this be my first time doing anything like this
if you upload it to the repository yes.
ok thank you
nvm i already be givin up now lol, idk how you guys do it
Is there a 4 door ibishu hopper mod?
Time and a lot of trial and error
It's beamng with path tracing. So... better graphics?
Some old modeling software from 2004
mod for online ?
Why😭
Blender is free and runs on most things
Idk how to use blender my pc wont probably handle blender
beamMP, or the lesser used KissMP.
I'm currently using blender with the igpu of a i5 6500
I've run it on an i3 2300 too
And I'm running the latest version
Older versions might run better

After months of development starting January, I'm releasing the first playable version of Little Saint James Island for BeamNG.drive!
This 1:1 scale recreation features:
✅ Fully detailed main residential complex
✅ Complete temple structure with accurate modeling
✅ Finished...
😭😭😭😭
I tried blender it was way to laggy for me
maybe use older versions, ones between 2.8 and 4.0
What computer do you have
It's pretty old
also idk why you posting on modding channel, if your pc can't run blender you can't play beam either
There is a wide range of old
I can run the menu
I have a computer from 1993 and from 2013 and both are considered old
It can run menu and it crashes later
Why did you buy a game you can't play
mac neo can run the game, with a mobile processor....
Idk in computer specifications but i know its form early 2000's
My 2019 athlon can run it
what windows are you on
Xp
Okay rip
Rn im on my phone
I hope you know that connecting windows XP to the internet instantly gets you hacked right?
Probably doesn't help
By getting a new computer
no point in upgrading it, it needs to rest, for eternity
Dang ok
bad time for a new pc tho...
Or by reinstalling windows XP and never connecting it to the internet, by reinstall I mean full wipe
Nah 10 year old ddr3 laptops or desktops still should be worthless
Anyone has the Kowloon ac port map because the link doesn’t work
Where can I fine a Peugeot 406 mod?
Why are you planning on modding a game you cant run
No hate im genuinely curious
^^ same question here
where can i get safe modes ?
tried both they both sucked
hi does any1 know how to fix a license plate that´s inside a bumper? its a mod of a gt63 amg 4 door, the plate is in the rear bumper and not on the outside
its not visible
it only does not show on the AMG 63 rear bumper, while it shows on other configs like the 53/43amg version
GPT isn't the best but claude could work well. It's just really expensive
Make sure to tell it to read all the documentation first
How would you guys start if you were starting over when modding in BeamNG Drive? I want to both make Maps and cars. But i think i want to make maps first. I dont know where to start. Like i want to make a nice part of Scandenavia or Norway but i have no idea how to make a map in BeamNG neither now to make a map which resembles a real life place
Try simple stuff like adding some parts to cars first 🙂 just to see how stuff works
What do i need to learn to do that and where?
For simple stuff, notepad++ is all you need lol
When it comes to modeling, blender
I have Notepad++ and VSCode. But like is there a programming language.
Yea. Im trying to learn blender
Just open up a jbeam file, I think you'll know how it works lol
Thanks 🙂
Gave +1 Reputation to @blazing harbor (current: #334 - 18)
So you think i just understands how this works?
you are already starting off the wrong foot, you shouldnt learn how to mod by modding mods, mod vanilla cars
Ah that's the car's main jbeam file
Why is there so many jbeam files in a mod?
each part has their own jbeam
There's one for every part of the car!
So 1 jbeam for a door and 1 for the mirror and one for the turbo etc
Pretty much yeah
Doesent that take like months to code?
Depends on what you wanna do
Create a map of a real place in Norway
Oh yeah that would take months probably 😅
I'd love to make maps as well but haven't looked into it yet
How many jbeam files are needed for a map?
I'm not sure if maps work in the same way
God damn. Look at this. This is only for the doors on the autobello
Yeah there's a lot of stuff lol
But that's why the cars feel so realistic, every single part is so well made
I guess so. But isnt there a good way to learn all this. Like how do people figure it out?
Idk I kinda learned myself somehow 😅 but I'm no expert
Maps work completely differently than vehicles
Yes i have a viral modpack on Modland but i made none of the cars. I downloaded them and made them into one pack for convenience. I deleted some broken configs from some cars and published. But i have never made a car from scratch
Yeah making a whole car is a lot of work
So you took people's stuff without permission and reuploaded it,,,,,
Completely stupid
Don't do that
Again though, just start small 🙂 try to edit some parts
Maybe. But i have this in the bio:
I want to clarify that I did not create most of these car mods myself. This is a curated "Mega Pack" designed to make it easy for fans to get all the best cars in one place.
To original creators: If you see your car in this pack and wish for it to be removed, please send me a DM directly. I am more than happy to figure it out nicely and respect your wishes. I would much prefer a conversation over a report on Modsfire, which only ends up making the fans frustrated when links stop working. Let's keep the community friendly!
If you want to get a pen from your classmate, do you grab it without asking and say 'if you are not happy with me having this, please tell me'?
You ask first before taking
Yea i know its a little in the grey.
But yea i usualy steal pencils from my classmates and only give it back if they ask
You can't be serious?
But they do the same so its finee
Its Norwegian school culture
So the pencils just circle around 🤣
Exactly. And when we dont find pencils to steal from students we sneak into the teachers office and take a box of 8 new pencils and devide them on the class without the teachers knowing
Here the rule was 'ask first's
And ' if something is on the floor by the end of the day, it's yours '
I mean look its not bad but thats still technically stealing since it doesn't use the original modders affiliate link
True lol
Well. If their mod is at the floor (aka 0 downloads) is it mine to take?
A mod can't be on the floor
It's up on a shelf
The shelf broke
A mod is on the floor if the author says ' do whatever you want with it '
Your knees too
Either way, mention the original author 
authors*
Wait did you not even credit the original authors?
Can we talk about how to make maps now?
And do you make the car models yourself or do you take it from Assetto Corsa mods?
You can pretty much make a map in world editor right?
god damn thats detailed
I've spent 2 years modeling the car Im making.
Woah. Thats awsome.
Not really
How can you stay motivated for 2 whole years in blender
i cant even make the cube into a very low poly gun aka a L and you can make a car in 5 years
There's times I spend a few weeks not doing anything because I've got no motivation
Gotta start somewhere 🙂
I've got 5000h on blender, I have a lot of free time
Yea. But like how do people turn a cube into a car. That i dont understand. I can extrude and thats pretty much it
I dont even have that many hours on Minecraft. I have like 3500h
A Timelapse of a PS1 Style Fiat Uno Turbo i.e.
The unsped footage is about 5:25h + 2h unrecorded that i took to clean up the highlights of the texture and make the renders
Made this to make a poster to gift to my driving instructor, since he had one of these :p
This is not a beaming car, it's much much simpler, but you get the point
(this took me 6 hours to make)
I've barely learned how to use blender but managed to make this https://www.beamng.com/resources/the-thinnest-covet.37801/
this is you!
Yes
So you can learn eventually
there's a tutorial for everything
Lol. That looks horrible to drive. Probably flips in the first corner. Looks well made tho
Not the best handling car, I'll admit 🤣
Why so detailed when beamng makes it more low poly
Because I want to
Looks amazing tho
Goddamn that engine is pretty
How many triangles?
My highpoly engine models and materials get baked onto a lowpoly and retain a lot of detail
Also is the ETK based on a gta car?
Not finished yet, I only have the high detail version not low detail
I have wanted to learn blender now for a while but ive never got to it.
Despite what you think, no, it's just that the übermacht Zion classic and mine are both based on e24 BMWs with square headlights
Ah yes the headlights make it look similar
The engine is like 600k polygons, the seat was like 800k iirc since I'm using cloth simulation and sculpting for small details
Lore friendly E24 though! Love that
damn. How many of those make it into the game?
None, I make lowpoly versions and bake those details into normal maps
My engines generally are like 30k max
Wow. You are really experienced.
I need to go now
Do you make money of Beamng mods?
The bmw I will sell, everything else? No
Ok. Goodbye
Some texture magic keeps the details 😉
So none of you know how to make a real location inside BeamNG Drive?
I haven't tried maps yet, but there are tutorials on how to make them. Also there's #modding-maps for advice as well
Hey i have a question.i had a mod that added black spotlights to the Bastion but i accidentally removed it from my game and don’t remember what it was called can somebody help me find it?
does there exist a plugin that can import the vanilla vehicles into blender by their .pc file correctly?
i've seen the blender plugin but it doesnt support slot2 format only slot
I've been playing around scripting in blender to load the us_semi so i can model a tipping rubbish truck body, currently looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/GEMu1kq
been messing with clutch physics and there is a difference
it was too stiff before needed to be bit worn and wobbly
clutchfreeplay=0.42 lol
make it straight piped also
imagine proper straight pipe v8 mod for beam
yes
bolide with 5.8 Ford V8
I've fucked around with the torsion/sway bar on here, but where and how would you roughly put the nodes? To get it to act as a torsion bar and not a spring basically.
