Released Ibishu JBX100 - Not really cancelled 0.2.8

@AX53 you did the right thing with temporarily canceling the mod, you can do whatever you like with it, and you give it to the (much of which is way too ungrateful for what modders do) community for free, and you do a good job on it too. Thanks for the update, and I can’t wait to see what you do with it further.

 

It's totally understandable.. I've been using your mods since the AX53 Pessima mod first dropped long ago. I've always appreciated the work you've put into your mods, regardless if they are "perfect" or not. To me and many more your mods are great as they are and if you choose to fix them or update them it's totally up to you to do so. Hopefully you can have a break to just unwind and relax for a bit and take it easy for a while.

 

Go on, dont stop, it looks sweet

 

the openable mod is for the 200bx not this mod so there is no issue with the mod

 

Makes me glad to hear!

Been working on finishing an update this afternoon with some fixes and new stuff.

Spoiler: Update list

And I figured it out a long time ago)

 

Very good!

 

AX53 updated Ibishu JBX100 with a new update entry:

Various fixes + new stuff

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news on this one, but it appears this one accidentally removed the top mount/bottom mount turbos along with the option to use 200bx engines


for now i'll just the previous version

 

This wasn't actually accidential, it was part of a clean up.
The top mount / bottom mount engine parts were dated left overs from the old engine. Maybe they worked fine in the mean time, didn't actually look into it. But new stuff will be added in their place.
The 200BX conversion stuff was accidentially left in for the first release, but were experimental only. The problematic situation with the 200BX engine swaps is that the JBX is RHD and the clutch pedal prop is actually originating from the 200BX transmission. This means that with a 200BX engine / transmission you get a clutch pedal incorrectly placed on the left side of the car. I have an idea to solve this problem though which is to rename the ref nodes for the pedal props. And give the JBX completely new pedals. That way it can just straight up run on a 200BX engine slot with 200BX transmissions. I will look into this in the next update as well.

 

i hope i speak for everyone here when i say thank you for sticking with this and not giving up. this is a brilliant mod and we all appreciate you continuing to develop it

 

Great to hear! Thank you.

Update:
Successfully made the 200BX clutch pedal incompatible with JBX. So now I will pull the trigger on using the 200BX engine slot by default.

And I also added underglow.
+Fixed half of the windows with the floating window decal bug when the window gets smashed.
This however requires people who have made their own window decal skins already to later update their skins jbeam file.

 

I love drifting this car!
(ignoring the fact that i almost exploded the car while drifting)

 

Stop f*cking nitpicking, the author knows the mod inside & out no need to constantly look for flaws/issues.
The author i guarantee knows of everything so just quit it already dude you've done this multiple occasions..

Imagine if Marty & Moog constantly nitpicked at their project cars they'd never finish them so just enjoy each update or use a prior version if you don't like future updates.

 

Thanks for defending me, but it's fine. He has been supporting the mod for a long time.

 

chill. you aren't an internet detective. it isn't nitpicking. he isn't looking for bugs, he casually used the mod and noticed something unusual.

 

He's not nitpicking, he's telling AX53 what bugs there are so AX can fix them.

 

They aren't bugs. They are temporarily removed features.

 

It's not nitpicking, I just noticed it and wasn't sure if he was aware. I'm not complaining.

When?
Also what is your problem? You need to relax.
--- Post updated ---

Originally I meant to reply to this, to tell you thanks for clearing that up. Hence why I liked your post about the 200BX clutch swap. I hope I didn't cause any annoyance with my post.

 

No annoyance what so ever to get the old turbos in the current version you can change their slot type from jbx_turbodisabled to jbx_turbo.

And to clarify. The next update will use 200bx engine slot by default.
