BeamNG 0.30's modding update changes everything for us!

[@RockyBergen]

You OWN this slice of Beam! Thanks for the update from YOUR perspective!

[@fillman86]

lol not quite

[@RockyBergen]

You should be able to import the base model for placement sake and then remove it before you export your assets then couldn't essentially do all the basic coordinate work directly in Blender?

[@WHOOLKAN]

A while ago i was considering to make mods for BeamNg with my own car designs. The simple fact that i had to make all the Jbeam myself with the currently available tools, was quite discouraging to say the least. Taking my own designs in AC was easy enough but Beam looked like a complete nightmare, with this tool things seem to be WAY more approachable. Thanks a lot for making all these tutorial videos, you're one of the very few that does this over pretty much anywhere on the internet. I'm currently working on a geometry nodes generator to make things like tyres, chassis, steering wheels, suspensions, engines and other parts. I initially started working on this to make my own tools to speed up the vehicle design process but with the introduction of this addon by the Beam devs i feel like i should spend more time refining it so that someone else could use it too. Automation is still the best way to make cars for the average user, but an experienced 3D modeler could use some more refined tools inside of blender itself. Keep it up man, i hope this tool will keep getting updated and you keep making videos about your mods, there's a severe lack of creators actually explaining their process in such detail.

[@fillman86]

I do plan to return to making mods in assetto too, but I have to psych myself up, because the last time was terrible haha

[@jwalster9412]

I was so close a few years ago, but I couldn't figure out how to get my mesh to show up in game. Maybe I will go back at some point idk.

[@WHOOLKAN]

@@fillman86 Assetto can be rough sometimes, it would be nice if we had pretty strong Blender tools to work with so that all the repetitive and time consuming stuff gets handled faster, more time left to focus on making the cars look and feel good

[@ImGood2137]

Most gamę studios: Modifying our game? Filth! BeamNG chads: lets make modding as easy as possible.

[@fillman86]

yeah, now all i have to do is learn how to balance nodeweight, beamspring, and beamdamp.... but that's unlikely to happen haha

[@Freezorgium]

Other devs didn't follow Valve's example because they're stupid. Modding always brings more life to the game, always, always, always.

[@mmjissoskibiddy]

Isn’t beamng’s approach the same case for assetto?

[@Avetho]

@@mmjissoskibiddy Well, the original Assetto, but also hopefully Assetto Corsa 2 now that the devs are returning to the old game engine after the whole Competizione mess and making it better and I believe easier to mod. Big chad mode from them too it seems, so in conclusion and response to you, _yes its a similar approach because mods add new extra life to an already amazing game_ which is something I _absolutely _*_love_*

[@GF-mf7ml]

💪🗿

[@lillappy7520]

Also fun fact about the VR Support:that was already in the game before and it was removed quickly due to big bugs and one of them probably is if you drive to fast,it instantly crash... also love you video bro! Edit:also the launch button for Vulkan has now moved right next to the main launch button which is odd but does that mean that the Vulakn now be stable when new update comes?

[@fillman86]

oh dear... there will be a video on that too ;)

[@gerekappo]

If it is implemented again, i'm sure they worked on it.

[@harrypoon2438]

“crashing in the game to crashing the game” nearly made me spit my drink out

[@JuniorDjjrMixMods]

As the guy who most created GTA SA mods in the world, and creating own moddable GTA-like game using Blender + additional modding tool, I'm very interested to check how this will going to work, specially for learning. I'm very happy to see big games supporting modding, part of the reason I stopped modding GTA was TakeTwo stepping on us, they are idiots for not understanding that modding is what makes the game live longer.

[@JuniorDjjrMixMods]

btw it impresses me that there were no good modding tools for BeamNG, I really thought that because BeamNG was such a big and widely played game, it would also have very good tools for it, this demonstrates how incredible the GTA SA modding community is, as there are excellent tools that allow you to edit literally every detail of the game (generally for 3DS Max and Visual Studio), even create a whole new game on top of it, even with a company being against modding.

[@GavAttackO]

I actually might try getting into BeamNG modding with this.

[@fillman86]

this only changes how to modify nodes, it doesn't do the rest :/ but if it makes it less daunting, that's fine :)

[@Levibetz]

This is so crazy to me because how tf were the developers making JBeams in the first place? Seems like a tool like this would just make their work easier anyway. I remember doing this sort of thing back in the day with 1nsane and zmodeler and vhx edit. Crazy to me that a game from 2000 with no official mod support had better tools than beam until now.

[@theamerican1248]

this will make a huge difference

[@fillman86]

my mods will be constructed a lot better, and I don't think I need nodebeam editor anymore

[@Doktoreq]

For placement just import the model you want to work with. Using JATO example - import pickup model, import JATO mesh and nodes, place JATO mesh and nodes where you want them, export them and close. Now you should have your parts in the right place immediately without the whole ordeal of reloading and tweaking.

[@zigenstern]

you are the reason your videos are such great tutorials, and your great editor helps too

[@fillman86]

haha I would have stressed myself out and quit months ago if it wasn't for my editor!! I hate editing, and he took that workload off my shoulders!

[@karelpgbr]

I read that part of the patch notes and immediately thought: “Oh Fillman86 is going to love this!”

[@aitorror3659]

0:45 Don't worry, we don't prioritize youtubers when adding features, editor was something we had in plans long before you started doing the how not to mod videos. Please don't accreditate yourself to stuff you're not doing :) Also, we don't really do modding tools, we just choose to release some of our internal content creation tools if someone would want to make a mod. Reason why people don't make modding videos is, you either end up absolute hackjobs that barely work and have no quality whats so ever, or you'd have to do multi episode series on something like lets say a new trailer. Short form videos are fine as a way to show how you can quickly slap together fun experiments, make short cars, by cutting the center section in half, making double deckers, swapping suspensions, whatever, but these should never be treated as any form of guide to proper content creation.

[@CharChannel275]

Nice, I want to see what publishers are gonna do with the new jbeam editor

[@fillman86]

you mean modders?

[@CharChannel275]

Ye 🤣

[@TanJee.7]

Well this is a new thing for fill to mess with for about……. 15 years just having fun. : )

[@aprazoh]

i love stuff like this as a player its gonna bring MORE and HIGHER QUALITY mods in the game, which helps modders and players and makes the game 10x better

[@fillman86]

I agree, especially since the devs insist on making off-roaders that most people don’t care about or like :/

[@fattui]

I’m still having to use node beam editor for my triangles and beams RIP although what we have so far is great

[@fillman86]

[@bussin_buses]

It's not called 0.3, the update is 0.30. The developers stated it's not written as if it was a decimal, but instead in numerical order.

[@-hexa]

​@thegamereviewandreallifech1910 yes you're right but since it's not a decimal and a version number, it can't be shortened to 0.3. Its like saying the game is in version 30, and trying to shorten it to version 3

[@olileoli2788]

@thegamereviewandreallifech1910not really, 0.3 is actually a very old version, from the era of that original tech demo from 2013.
