[WIP] [slow progress] Confessor 4.0

[wispy leaf]

It is worth clarifying that I did NOT model this myself. The original creator of this car is \3maty.
This is a car I think BeamNG has needed for a long time: a 1980s fleet sedan.

A Confessor police car is more than a sedan with a siren.

It takes its work seriously with its durability. Confiscate car from nearly any street racer. The mod Including civilian, luxury, police and muscle parts for any of your style needs. Under the hood, you can hear nicely rambling 440 V8, upgraded from Ram Air performance master.

This is a port of the mod "Confessor 4.0" for the game "Crashday" made by the previously mentioned \3maty (with permission of course). It is based off a 1985 Dodge Diplomat with some design elements taken from the Ford Fairmont and the Chrysler New Yorker. This mod will feature every part that the original mod has. (which includes different hood types, race bumpers and trim, a luxury trim, etc.)

If you're curious, heres a link to the original mod

[hazy lintel]

is box, i love

[wispy leaf]

Heres some more images of it

[hazy lintel]

noice

[ocean stone]

I think this could end being cool with some work

[wispy leaf]

it's obviously pretty incomplete as of now, like the mesh quality of the interior being not so great

[delicate urchin]

I've always liked the lore friendly vehicle design in Crashday, and I'm glad to see a kind person make it into BeamNG.After this mod is completed, will you make other mods in Crashday?

[wispy leaf]

If I'm feeling up to it again I might make the bonny compact (ford pinto)

[glass jewel]

Question, did you use an automation export as a base?

[wispy leaf]

yeah, why?

[delicate urchin]

He can extract models and materials based on the original mod, and no modeling is needed.

[glass jewel]

I was just curious if it used the part exports as a base

Good time saving

[wispy leaf]

This mod actually originally started out as an automation mod

and I wanted to see how much I could turn it into an actual beamng car

and as of right now theres almost nothing left from the original automation export

the only thing left is the fuel tank and thats it

[glass jewel]

Good

The exporter in it's current condition is hot trash so I'm glad it's got nothing in common

[wispy leaf]

Yeah

[unique flume]

W mod

[twin siren]

Confess your sins 4.0

[tardy ledge]

nice

[twin blade]

"This is a car I think BeamNG has needed for a long time: a 1980s fleet sedan."

my honest reaction:

(Love the progress )

[final juniper]

is this gonna get a brand, or is Confessor the brand?

not completely out of the realm of possibility for a model to be called the 4.0, just a bit odd

[wispy leaf]

It doesn't have a brand, or at least not a visible one

the car is called the Confessor, and 4.0 is a trim level

[final juniper]

right

[topaz mica]

What is this based off irl

[radiant blade]

read OP

[topaz mica]

Ah ok I see

[balmy path]

ooo...which mod is that?

[unique crest]

I love it

[slim lotus]

dodge diplomat

[hidden atlas]

W automobile! i also feel this was needed

By the way, since it doesn't have much of automation anymore, i wonder if it'll have openables...

[wispy leaf]

It 100% will

[meager wadi]

this mod looks awesome

[covert needle]

hi, author of original mod there

[covert needle]

i suggest to not make the whole rear glow, the middle part between reverse lights is just a reflective red panel that optically connects taillights

[wispy leaf]

Got it

[hexed thunder]

I never knew ur a CAT?

[unique flume]

Free or Paid btw?

[celest slate]

what this is?

[wispy leaf]

free

[unique flume]

Nicee

[finite pasture]

I hope that the crash model and interior will be decent

[tardy gate]

Bruckell Moonhawk 1979-1985

[wispy leaf]

@covert needle Since you're the creator of the original mod I have a fundamental question to make

if the car had a brand which one would it be?

[hexed thunder]

[hexed thunder]

Mb i did not know u where a youtuber. sorry for the pings lol. I might get banned form here now lol

[covert needle]

there wasnt any tbh

crashday doesnt really have brands

if you want you can make some fictional brand ofc

or slap it under bruckell

[wispy leaf]

got openables somewhat working

[brazen furnace]

we are running the progress of the car

[celest slate]

moonhawk
meshslap

[wispy leaf]

wrong

(moonhawk)

[hidden atlas]

We got 80s american fleet sedan in BeamNG before GTA VI

[hexed thunder]

this thing looks like a police car from law and order

[topaz mica]

Looks so good

[twin blade]

does it use the moonhawk as a base

they look similar upfront

[wispy leaf]

Yes it does

it originally had an automation exported jbeam which i replaced with a modified moonhawk one because the automation one was shit

[twin blade]

ye i figured

good job adapting it tho

[normal portal]

Your average 80s sedan:

[slim lotus]

box

[heavy panther]

what about adding lightbars from the Crown Victoria Mod?\

[wispy leaf]

ill let someone else do that

[wispy leaf]

remodeling the dashboard, can't decide which speedometer to give it

[chilly horizon]

First one with the many guages look better to me

[iron trout]

1st one

2nd one fits the theme better, but the 1st one simply looks cooler

[ocean stone]

1st one base model/sport gt model

And the 2nd one but digital

Or semi digital

Like the speed is physical but gas gauge rpm coolant temp etc is digital

[iron trout]

YES! DIGIDASH!!

And its gotta have the brushed aluminium and wood to go around it

That'd be awesome

[ocean stone]

you can prob grab the one from the soliad or somethin similar

i find it pretty ironic

the 80s did what modern cars do now

but better

no lag

its not like

your going 65

up your 75

like brutha what

their really needs to be a latency maximum on digital gauges like does anybody see it as a safety hazard yk

[proud sierra]

both

you should call it a bruckwell confessor and there should be a wagon version

[tardy gate]

There was a Chrysler Town and Country based on the M-Body platform (shared with Dodge Diplomat and Plymouth Gran Fury)

[iron trout]

I'm making a lil' mockup of a good digidash

[iron trout]

what transmission types are there for the car?

[wispy leaf]

manual and automatic

[iron trout]

ok

[iron trout]

Here's a mockup of a digital dash that I think would work in the Confessor (yes I used studio for it)

Thoughts?

I could make everything more separated, like smaller displays within the dash, like this chrysler

perhaps a little more tilt too

but its a mockup

[iron trout]

:( please respond :(

[wispy leaf]

looks good

[tardy gate]

Yeah, give it some patina or somethin' and it'll look terrific

[iron trout]

:)

[ocean stone]

i like this but def put the warning lights at the buttom/mechanical related stuff and then to the left maybe put a rev counter

[iron trout]

Like the warning lights along the bottom?

[ocean stone]

yea

sorta like this

see how they have all the warning lights and mechanical stuff towards the buttom

and the rev counter is like little dots

not a great photo

but best i could find

basically what im just saying is move the warning lights below like underneath the confessor label

horrible photo

but see how the check engine light/mechanical stuff is below the speedo gas gauge and stuff

[iron trout]

I got nothing better to do, I'll make some improvements

[ocean stone]

a better photo this isnt a digital dash but you get the memo at this point i think

[iron trout]

Yeah

The only cars I've driven either have them spread around, or at the top

Well, the 2 indicator lights...

(The other 2 are turn signal indicators)

Well, clustered around the middle of the cluster

[ocean stone]

yea im ngl ive only seen cars with them at the buttom or a few lights to the left or right side

02 camry 01 infiniti i30

woa i didnt think those cars were that old but

wow in 2 years the infiniti can be registered as a classic car

but this is what i mean

the cars i've been in all at the buttom

[swift oasis]

Its coming to download of public

@sturdy isle

[sturdy isle]

Awesome

[hidden atlas]

1st one

[lavish badger]

b r i c k

[finite pasture]

I'd prefer the second one but both should work. I'd say that if the car is more sport focused, use deep dish round dials (1st variant) and if it's more luxury focused, use the second one

[twin siren]

crash

[granite widget]

this looks awesome but there are a few things i reccomend
adding a brand for the car (if you want an idea i have created brands and logos that this might fit with)

[granite widget]

80s fleet sedans had the rectangle dash

[wispy leaf]

Alright quick status update

[ON HOLD] Confessor 4.0

I'm putting this on hold since I'm currently working on another project of mine and honestly don't really have motivation to continue this

But I promise that it WILL come out eventually

[finite pasture]

@compact sandal

[compact sandal]

@finite pasture

[storm depot]

Will this be on Repo

Or not?

[wispy leaf]

When it comes out it will

[topaz mica]

Where do I recognize this from

[tardy gate]

It's a movie

That's...why

probably

[finite pasture]

Short time

[sterile vigil]

will it have like a lore-friendly name ?

[strange wave]

..Confessor. that is the lore friendly name

[sterile vigil]

just confessor ?

[finite pasture]

i think what he means is that he wants a rename?

since the "Confessor" name is from another game

and it doesnt make sense if you combine both games in the lore

[sturdy isle]

It's coming to the download ?

[sterile vigil]

while you are right , it's ot my reason

it's just that only naming it " the confessor " doesn't really make sense

we are not in an arcade racer game

[sterile vigil]

how 'bout something like " Soliad Confessor"

[finite pasture]

i like the idea

but here is the thing

people may not approv e

[sterile vigil]

people tolerate Renaults as cherriers

[sterile vigil]

so why wouldn't they tolerate that ?

and , why not make it a bruckell then ?

[finite pasture]

i am ok with anything

just need the modder and people approval

[sterile vigil]

kay

[tardy gate]

Soliad's a bit too high-class for a fleet vehicle

Like you got Ford Crown Victorias as cop cars and taxis, but not Lincoln Towncars, even though they're the same cars underneath

[sterile vigil]

i mean , the Confessor does looks like a Pontiac

[sterile vigil]

so how 'bout Bruckell ?

[tardy gate]

Bruckell is a goodun I'd reckon

Good for anything

All-rounder

Works well

[sterile vigil]

okay , so Bruckell Confessor ?

we are okay on that ?

the only thing is the Confessor looks like a 4-door Pontiac Parisienne

and Soliad is also a bit of a Pontiac

if i remember right

[carmine raft]

https://tenor.com/view/hop-on-the-cycle-frontier-the-cycle-frontier-hop-on-the-cycle-frontier-gif-26888181

[sterile vigil]

real

[finite pasture]

Idk about soliad bring rich

[tardy gate]

I mean the Wendover is an Oldsmobile Toronado, that was an upper-class coupe

And Chrysler also marketed its own minivan under the Chrysler brand. Same brand that offered more the high-class New Yorkers and Fifth Avenues in their line-up

Dodge and Plymouth too got Minivans, but those were cheaper, with less "luxurious" appointments

When it launched in 1984, the Minivan was a Chrysler

[finite pasture]

i dont think its based of the toronado

[tardy gate]

[finite pasture]

ye that

[tardy gate]

DUDE

THAT IS A TORONADO

[finite pasture]

mf 😭

[finite pasture]

what year

[tardy gate]

'90

Ran from like '87-'92

Dude.

Did you google a 1960's one even though the one ingame is from the 80s??

[finite pasture]

ye...

lmfaooooo

tbh there is soemthing i love about this car

looks like from knight rider

if you think about it

it doesnt really look like what rich people drive

[tardy gate]

That's exactly why it failed

They didn't sell all too well

Oldsmobile made more money selling the retirement home specials like the 98 Regency as pictured below or the Cutlass Ciera, Delta 88, etc.

Imagine your customer base consists of 40-60 year olds that want a comfortable car and then you bring out something that is supposed to appeal to a younger crowd

For the more "advance" aged people it was too sporty and for the young people it was too elderly

[tardy gate]

Better pic, less shitty

[carmine raft]

legran ahhhhh

[tardy gate]

Fr

[granite widget]

we need a soliad rebadged legran that is more based on the olds cutlass ciera and 98

[finite pasture]

Ye ic

[sterile vigil]

Bruckhell Lagran from the 70's ?

[sterile vigil]

citroen made the CX , the Ds and more importantly here , the SM

same brand known for the affordable 2cv ( and Dyane), and known for making a BIG HOLE in their lineup between them

same goes for Renault ( R4 R5 R6 R20 and Frégate , Rambler , R16 , R30 , R25)

and i feel like Soliad was also some kind of Pontiac

( ik they are Gms but still)

[tardy gate]

You cannot compare those, 'cos the French always were quirky

In the US, companies always had subdivisions

[wispy leaf]

i've considered giving the car a brand but ultimately i've decided to keep it true to the original mod

as in, nearly a direct port of it

someone else can mod in badges for it if they'd like

[warped pendant]

damn, this is sick.

[zinc acorn]

dip

[carmine raft]

dead

[alpine jackal]

why mod is still unreleased?

[mighty river]

look at the title. "ON HOLD"

[carmine raft]

this is a dead mod

[mighty river]

you already said it once. no need to repeat

[fiery nacelle]

hi im back

[violet cedar]

Hi man!!! Welcome back!!

[marble oak]

Finally......

After all of these months...

The project returned.

[alpine jackal]

OH LES GOOOO

[warped pendant]

Yahoo!

[granite widget]

This will be sweet

I just remembered somthing that would be sweet

You remember that abandoned bruckell albatross concept

I always have seen it as large family car
Why not badge this as a bruckell albatross

Cars that were once luxo barges of the 70s had become bland fleet sedans by the 80s

It would fit perfectly as a slot above the 80s moonhawk mod in the bruckell lineup

[wispy leaf]

that would be cool but it goes against the original mod

[swift oasis]

Waiting for more

[coral breach]

Lore Friendly Dodge Diplomat In Beam? Heck Yeah!

[finite pasture]

amazing looks like Dodge Diplomat my fav Car u should add one 🚨 on roof

[carmine raft]

100% a soliad

[vast gale]

looks very cool

[coral breach]

Dude you should add a double beacon lightbar. that'd be sick on this car

[zinc acorn]

diplomat

[coral breach]

Is this dead?

nope
