Also i forgot to mention that the jbeam was completely restarted a few weeks ago since the old ones didnt work. They were lazily resized in BNE and never worked since i didnt make any edits outside of BNE LOL. But yeah just to clarify, jbeam was restarted a while ago and has a lot more care put into it. The only thing that is pissing me off is my model was shifted like 0.0024 on the x axis so i have to change every x coordinate to that if it's centered lmao. NOt a big deal since it will sitll mirror properly if edits are made.
I don't think so. This is a modern kei truck and is completely hand made model besides the drivetrain components. But in terms of first BeamNG kei truck in general yes competing i would say
Just a heads up: I have AP exams and finals for the next 2 weeks and then I'm off for summer break. I wont be posting any progress since i probably wont have any. Though there are some issues to fix. Obviously stablity with the jbeam, for whatever reason me creating beams for hinges (like to connect hood and cab) causes the game to crash but other thing is the jbeam isnt uniform with the mesh, so the mesh has little/poor deformation while the jbeam deforms properly. I will be resolving these problems in the next few weeks, hopefully a few days after i finish my exams but it will be slow progress again lol
HELLO. So I'm finished with exams and spent a bit of time on the mod. Much improvements were made, but still a long way from done obviously. So the parts I've already got working are much more stable, I'll put some comparisons here. There's some model fixes I need to make that I haven't noticed until now (mostly face orientation). I'm going to try and get this somewhat drivable by the next posting from me here so I can see how it performs now. I also am going to try texturing the existing parts, so basically I'm getting these current parts functioning well before I progress into more parts. That's my plan for now. The car kinda slides but i believe I know the issue so I will work on a solution later. Deformation has huge improvements lmaooo. Both deformation pics were similar crashes. Here's some update pics New Deformation (Stays with model at least; still sucky deformation though) Old Deformation Small deformation demo https://gyazo.com/b46eaca952d3a019d96b0539092c654f Sliding modeling https://gyazo.com/500e4df81d0050d3a13831ee38d894b2
That's either extremely low friction coef or something really weird going on with the nodes, you definitely can't leave it like this
Hi. Yeah i've got the rear suspension working. I'm working on the front suspension/engine jbeam at the moment. Hopefully it'll be driving soon. I'm using h-series suspension as this is largely based off the h-series jbeams but heavily edited. I'm having a hard time incorporating Pigeon wheels since 0.23 pigeon wheels are part of the suspension jbeam rather than being a separate file. If you know how I could use pigeon wheels on the h-series suspension please let me know. --- Post updated --- Thanks. The middle section of the frame is messy and I'm restructuring it.
The Pigeon actually uses global wheels now, they aren't part of the suspension, they are in vehicles/common/wheels/wheels_3 I believe. Just add 3-lug hubs and you can use them.
OH ok. I wasn't aware of that, i'll give it a shot when i get back on my computer. Thank you very much
Alright I was hoping to getting this thing to actually drive by the time i provide an update for you but there's some weird stuff going on. So far I've resolved the frame issue pointed out by Agent Y and it is stable now. There were beams very closely placed to each other and they were spread out now and it is fine now . Things I've added: front suspension, engine+transmission, fueltank, rear suspension, rear differential, and wheels (HUGE ISSUES). The cab jbeam was also improved since there were some incorrect nodegroups and deformation is better, but still hell LOL. As it is in the real car, the engine is going to be based off the suzuki R06A inline 3, producing about 50ps and 63lb ft of torque. Issue with the wheels is they do load, but for whatever reason they literally implode and cause instabilities. I was recommended to lower beamspring and beamdamp in various parts in the suspension, but even at drastic intervals, the problem persists. The frame and suspension are based from the H-series jbeam so i may have to reconsider and use the pigeon frame instead. Also the last thing to note is that i noticed a very small offset of the ENTIRE model so i had to reposition all of the parts. Hopefully by the next update the wheels are not stubborn and this actually drives. Once it drives, I've got a friend who is willing to help with textures so hopefully some parts will be textured by then too. I'd like to hear some input on resolving the wheel issue if you have any ideas.
