How to mod BeamNG Drive (Basics)

This video will show you how to:
-Prepare the files
-How to edit them
-How to edit the jbeam of some parts
-How to publish your mod to www.beamng.com/repository website.
Software used in the video:
WinRAR - www.win-rar.com/start.html?&L=0
Notepad++ - notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/
NodeBeamEditor - github.com/RORMasa/NodeBeamEd...
Blender:
Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/36...
Standalone - www.blender.org
Keep in mind, this is the basics of BeamNG modding, not advanced, if you want for some more information, you can use BeamNG Documentation website, which has a dedicated section related to modding - documentation.beamng.com

[@RealBeamNGBoy]

Here's the advices from me:
-If something goes wrong with the code, you can check the code of the original file, that way you can compare both files, and see the issue in your code.
-If you want backups (like i did in the video), you can pack the mod in .zip format already. This'll also work as a little debug to see if it'll work when the mod is packaged
-Pack the mods starting from vehicles folder, not the folder inside the vehicles folder, that's how BeamNG works.

[@ismetbakr6745]

can you do a part 2 about making a car?

[@A_youtube_channel_]

For me I had to press "selection only" to get the export to work. My parts never show up if I dont so that might help.

[@fastlane005]

This might be the first actual modding tutorial, should help a lot of people

[@AngryGamer1224]

You're pumping out content at a really impressive rate, and I think that's really cool. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@danielertl]

Nice video for a simple start in BeamNG modding.
Just the info you need and not the whole possibilities in modding, which would confuse newbies.
It works on the first try.
Good work and thanks for this.

[@HydraGreen27]

there already is a "facelift" i-series but all it does is change the turn signals to clear and adds extra power

[@pbr628]

[@Kovacs_szabolcs342]

how do you add badges from mods to other mods?

[@gabrielv.4358]

Can this be applied to modify a car body??

[@birthdaycake8960]

[@Kaiduro09]

I messed it up now the 200bx is completely gone and i cant spawn it, i messed up the original files😐

[@sanulnporage6468]

oof

[@Palmfalls]

re-validate your game files in steam

[@CRWNVCTRA]

am i doing anything wrong? I've been trying to get a front bumper working on the blobby/round pessima for a good 2-3 hours now and it doesn't load in the game. Did I mess up a string of code or something?

[@RealBeamNGBoy]

Check your code and compare it to the vanilla bumper code, If you find something off in it, then it might be the issue.

[@CRWNVCTRA]

@@RealBeamNGBoy well, ran through it. All of them are practically identical excluding the altered names, I might restart from complete scratch but I can't fully be bothered.

[@RealBeamNGBoy]

​@@CRWNVCTRA try restaring the game.

[@windowsguy420]

whats the name of beam navigator in piccolina?

[@3nvinity]

ily i needed this

[@rite0824]

[@Javi4733]

is it worth doing this or buying automation game and export models?

[@johanspies1776]

U sit with the same dam problem if not more because the export models are just wack

[@turbo_marc]

It is way much more worth doing this than Automation.

[@MrMQHuy]

So hard brooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@Hiimbryan]

I like pain and suffering I always just open my game/mod folders via the windows file explorer but I also want to make sure my memory is in check as I do a lot of stuff around tech.

[@biqquette]

u need to specify; if u don't know how to use notepad++, don't forget to save

[@TexHasselhoff]

👍

[@adelinsucksatstuff7781]

I did everything the same as you but my parts dont show up in the game

[@alanvicente8416]

same

[@o_trueno]

same, still couldnt find how to fix it

[@A_youtube_channel_]

I solved this by clicking on the box in blender and making sure to press "Selection Only" in the top right corner when exporting the collada thing. It made it show up for me, idk why he doesnt have to do it. Also make sure to spell "Vehicle" and that actual car your using like "pessima" correctly or it wont work.

[@VictoroBraboo]

Hello beamng boy

Windows 11 🤮

[@RealBeamNGBoy]

say the same about Windows 10 kid.

[@driver1084]

Win 11 is basically the same at the moment, especially if you use explorer patcher

[@shey_clone]

Ngl, I use emojis ironically as I don't think a people would actually take the opinion of someone who uses the vomit emoji as a insult seriously. Also I've never actually used windows 11, the UI seems noice, gives me Ubuntu Linux vibes. I only use windows 10 cuse my pc legit garbage lol

[@Bau1515]

as someone who has windows 11 since 2021, no

[@swilleh_]

11 isn't great we know it. thanks.

[@AI-Idiot]

to fix a bug in automation, I needed to put a speed limiter, how can I get rid of it in the mod?

[@RealBeamNGBoy]

You can remove speed limiter in BeamNG, just find it in vehicle config. I might be wrong, since i don't really mod Automation stuff.
