    You probably have an error in jbeam syntax. You can try to find error and fix, or revert to original code.

    How were you doing mod? You should not modify the default barstow.zip game package in the content/vehicles of your install folder. You should just make a separate engine file with a newly named engine, which slots into the barstow engine slot.

    It takes some practice. Essentially just make sure everything has proper closures.

    Meaning, for every { there should be a closing }
    For every [ or ( there should be a ) or ]
    Also important is correct use of " " and ,

    If you are using notepad++ there are various way to highlight syntax, which makes it a little easier to spot things.

    Nope.
    JBeam is similar to Json, but with a few differences:

    You should check your logs, it usually tells what's the issue (if you get a spam of errors, check the first error)
