It uses volumetric shaders, no models and it doesn’t use the particle system

the sound activates at redline, and the flames look like they appear right when the shift indicator lights up

#

uh

#

does beam support N-gons

#

or do i gotta triangulate my mesh

tacit halo
#

for some ngons youll be fine but beamng doesnt have a good ngon to tri algorithm so some will make it implode

scarlet needle
#

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

tacit halo
#

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

scarlet needle
#

yeah but i mean
it doesnt matter that its 50 right

tacit halo
#

you can use whatever you want as long as its not over like 70

scarlet needle
#

didnt even know vanilla rims were lower than 64
i'll stick to 48 then

#

great, thanks

tacit halo
scarlet needle
#

keep it in mind :3
this will probably come to naught
i'm trying to make an audi S1

cerulean hollow
#

what are some mods to make the interior camera more realistic?

tacit halo
scarlet needle
#

i'm building it on a 50 side circle with the center cap being 25

#

i think it'll turn out ok

spark mauve
eager moss
#

Also careful around editing other peoples mods without permission

spark mauve
#

For personal use and no distribution, if a modder has a problem with that they shouldn't make mods that aren't binary blobs

scarlet needle
#

uhh

#

how many triangles is too many triangles for a rim

scarlet needle
#

3120 triangles on this one

patent jackal
#

Look sick

scarlet needle
#

should be less since center cap is still a separate object

patent jackal
#

Honestly I think I want a scaled down version of that for my mod xD

scarlet needle
#

and thus has triangles closing it off even tho it shouldnt be

#

awwwr
thats nice
this is a 17in rim off an audi

A little s10 truck

scarlet needle
#

where from

compact basin
#

Lxvme’s patreon

scarlet needle
#

right

#

so you probably have a zip file

compact basin
#

What does that mean

scarlet needle
#

well what did you download from their patreon

compact basin
#

It is a zip file i see that now

gilded schooner
#

open beamng, go to mods, then open mod folder, then paste mod

compact basin
#

Okie dokie

scarlet needle
#

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

compact basin
#

Wrong s10

compact basin
#

That’s a square body s10

patent jackal
#

Shameless plug but not out yet

gilded schooner
#

if you dont want to open beam fully you can just view the contents of the userfolder and drag and drop it there

compact basin
#

I did the first thing u said but I don’t see it in my mods list do I have to refresh beam?

compact basin
#

Done

#

Didn’t do anything

gilded schooner
#

can you screenshot where you pasted it? if you did it right it should work

compact basin
#

I can’t send pics in here

#

I can dm them to u

gilded schooner
#

to post it here you can get uplink role in #roles

compact basin
#

Ahh ok

#

There we go

#

It added the vehicles one

gilded schooner
#

can you go back to the folder titled "mods" cant really see anything that can verify its installed correctly

#

or wait...

compact basin
#

Idk where that is

gilded schooner
#

what you showed that is the mod folder?

patent jackal
#

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

compact basin
#

I think so yeah

patent jackal
gilded schooner
#

is the zip inside that vehicles folder?

#

zip of the mod

compact basin
#

Looks like it yes

gilded schooner
#

uhhh. thats not a zipped mod.

compact basin
#

Oof

#

How do I zip it

gilded schooner
#

it should come zipped, it just saves storage

compact basin
#

This is what’s inside one of them

gilded schooner
#

it just adds parts?

compact basin
#

And this in the other

gilded schooner
#

try dragging it into the "unpacked" folder in the mod folder

compact basin
#

How does one do that

gilded schooner
#

in the mod folder, is there a folder named unpacked

scarlet needle
#

et voila
3320 triangles

compact basin
#

Not that I see

#

This is all I see in the mods folder

gilded schooner
#

add a folder there by right clicking and under new, then folder, then name the folder unpacked

compact basin
#

Like this?

gilded schooner
#

honestly this really shouldn't matter I believe any mod pasted in the mod folder will work no matter what.

gilded schooner
compact basin
#

Done

gilded schooner
#

now go in beam and crl R

vivid scarab
#

anyone in any good mod servers for beam?

compact basin
#

Didn’t do anything

gilded schooner
#

try closing in and out of beam?

compact basin
#

Ok

gilded schooner
#

like restarting it

compact basin
#

Bingo it worked

#

Thank you so much bro🙏🏼

gilded schooner
#

no problem

compact basin
#

Ok wait it’s in my mods thing but I don’t see it on my vehicle thing

gilded schooner
#

might just be a poop mod yknow

compact basin
#

I’ve seen ppl use it tho

#

Do I have to pack it?

gilded schooner
#

you can try

eager moss
# compact basin

you've unzipped/extracted the mod. just straight paste it there next time

compact basin
#

Packing it didn’t do nun

eager moss
#

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

compact basin
#

Okie dokie

#

Did it

#

Now do I pack it

#

@eager moss

eager moss
#

no

#

look if the mod works it works

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)

how do i use a mod that needs to be extrakted

telling you to extract a vehicle mod is hella sus

lament tree
weary tangle
dawn flame
#

well its not

#

i just need help

lament tree
dawn flame
#

just help me

weary tangle
#

a vehicle mod should just be placed in "mods" folder that is inside "current" as a zip. Plain and simple.

dawn flame
#

it is folder

weary tangle
#

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

lament tree
dawn flame
#

its just a folder

lament tree
weary tangle
#

put it here then

#

as its a leaked mod, if you get a virus its at your own risk, dont blame me

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

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?

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

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

I’m getting close.
The front and rear are fully built, with frame reinforcement (just need some beam tuning)

you should not need more then 1 for this

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.

dm me if u could help me, ty :)

Lovely vee ate mowdur sounds as usual

jovial mica
# ember wagon

not everyday i can hear an actually good sounding big block in beamng

ember wagon
#

yea super rare

#

i dont know anyone else doing v8s

jovial mica
ember wagon
#

and i have tons more i could do

jovial mica
#

i did seen some guys made the sound mod but most of them dont get updated nouw

ember wagon
#

different types of v8s,flatplane, race, stock, more pushrod, small block, modern.

#

v10, v12

#

w16 hehe

jovial mica
#

1.9 TDI🤑

ember wagon
#

lol

jovial mica
# ember wagon 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

#

🗣️

ember wagon
#

💥

#

its better more fun to have quality

jovial mica
#

me like that philosophy

lost cloak
#

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

ember wagon
#

We need nissan v6 for pessima

#

3.5

jovial mica

#

Yea should it be r35

#

full race r35 lol

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.

#

yo why do some mods get stuck on unpacking

patent jackal
#

never happened for me.

mystic wren
#

is there any way to use the mod without pressing unpack

#

it just loads forever it seems like

brittle warren
#

Never unpack a mod. If it needs to be unpacked then the author doesnt know what they are doing.

mystic wren
patent jackal
#

Only unpack if you need contents quick

mystic wren
#

am I doing something wrong

pale hare
#

if youre unpacking a mod youre working on that mod

patent jackal
#

(not meaning to steal but idk what you where gonna do with it)

how do I enable the vehicle without unpacking then

mystic wren

I dont remember

where should I be putting them

is there a different place I install them to

eager moss
# mystic wren

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”

mystic wren
#

ok

pale hare
eager moss
# mystic wren ok

Send me a screenshot once you worked it out and ill make sure you done it right

eager moss
mystic wren
#

seems to work now

pale hare
eager moss
# mystic wren

Yes, always install mods now. Launch the game, and they should show. No unpacking required

brittle warren
#

Ive never installed one with the game closed lol

eager moss
# mystic wren

Do the same for maps, any mod you download off the internet should be installed like that

eager moss
brittle warren
#

Game just does game stuff lol

eager moss
# brittle warren 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

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

summer anvil
#

i want to make bumpers for the bx, how do import its model and jbeam into blender?

regal latch
summer anvil
regal latch
#

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

summer anvil
#

im searching for it

#

found it

#

its not showing up despite being the right folder

storm bay
#

Sorry for the bad resolution. I'm remote streaming on my crappy laptop

Okay looks like the lua doesn't expose any map models either. I'll have to parse the models files myself

maybe use older versions, ones between 2.8 and 4.0

It's pretty old

I hope you know that connecting windows XP to the internet instantly gets you hacked right?

rancid arch

Not instantly

#

Or maybe this is why its so slow

tacit halo
#

Probably doesn't help

rancid arch
#

What should i do

#

How do i upgrade it

tacit halo
#

By getting a new computer

weary tangle
#

no point in upgrading it, it needs to rest, for eternity

rancid arch
#

Dang ok

weary tangle
#

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

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

I'm not sure if maps work in the same way

uncut totem

#

Yeah there's a lot of stuff lol

#

But that's why the cars feel so realistic, every single part is so well made

uncut totem
#

I guess so. But isnt there a good way to learn all this. Like how do people figure it out?

blazing harbor
#

Idk I kinda learned myself somehow 😅 but I'm no expert

tacit halo
uncut totem
#

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

blazing harbor
#

Yeah making a whole car is a lot of work

tacit halo
#

Completely stupid

#

Don't do that

blazing harbor
#

Again though, just start small 🙂 try to edit some parts

uncut totem
# tacit halo So you took people's stuff without permission and reuploaded it,,,,,

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!
