Maluch JBeam rebuild

Instantly one of my favorite images of all time lmao, I would need to implement the stronger tow hitch for this (it can't haul heavy trailers without it)

This is actually doable what the heck, I could totally do it lol

 

The one on the first pic is actually planned but not for demo. I will need to implement a front engine layout anyway for the offroad version, and in the front I'm planning to fit I4 and V8 swaps. But it will be a lot of work you are right. As for the rest, there is actually a whole racing team that does these swaps and all are similar so I think we don't need more than 1 of them in the mod, would be basically the same as the previous one but without supercharger, that's already around 400hp lol

 

Lights update progress, this isn't final and there's still stuff to fix (reflectors, normals, turn signals glow colors, light bulbs...)



Models by Vapordude, textures by HerbieTheRealBug, materials by me

 

Color palette update

Corrected wrong colors/numbers/names, separated FL Maquillage and ELX colors, added missing colors, added missing color names, added BIS colors, re-added colors from old version, added generic BeamNG colors from vanilla cars. Now 44 colors in total.
EDIT: Just found out this list is not complete, there were more ST colors, not included in the source I've seen, possibly it was separated between 600 and 650. Will update again.
--- Post updated ---
Now THIS I believe is the complete palette. Took some digging. But I now have every exterior color matching specific interior colors.

The reasons why ST has so absurdly many colors are:

• Italian models for export to Poland and Polish models for Poland had different palettes
  
• 650 version has its own palette, but half of the 600 palette was also still used on it (I assume they had to use up spare paint lol)
  
• Special edition had unique colors that weren't available for normal versions

 

I started updating configs and got to the rally version so I decided I might as well finish it because it's not much work.
Stripped interior (new things are stripped dashboard and removable door panels, the doors are no longer invisible from inside without panels):

Rear skidplate (prevents oil pan damage better than expected):

Older rally skin from 1972 (yeah looks underwhelming but that's exactly what it looked like irl lol, the car itself was just stock with removed bumpers, engine swap and rally tires, but it was official somehow)

 

I had an idea for a new config, and now it's one of my favorite versions ever in this mod. Yes the skin is colorable.

I want to make more junk versions but maybe after the demo

 

That's too much detail for this game, I don't think I'll be adding it, but I have plans for a fake BMW badge lol

 

I realised that it kinda makes no sense that there are rusty configs but they behave exactly like the normal configs, like the rust is just visual. So I added some stuff, new slots are highlighted.

There are now stock, rusty and broken versions of all hinges and bumper mounts. Stock are normal, rusty break easily and broken are already half-broken (like the part is just hanging on 1 hinge or mount). This actually means less file size surprisingly, because all bumpers, decklids and doors use the same mounts so they aren't duplicated for each variant, there are more parts than mounts, and broken ones take less code. (I spared about 2kb for doors, 3kb for bumpers and about the same for decklids lol, hood stayed the same.) This also helped me find some inconsistencies and issues with the rear bumpers that are now fixed. Also you can remove bumper mounts and hinges and then the parts will fall off lol (but for doors remember about handles, for hood the latch, for decklid latch and hinge spring).

 

Not sure how I would implement that in the slots system... But the idea is good
