Hey, i build some cars for BeamNG they work really good, my Problems are the correct Position of lightspots and the exit points from exhausts(where flames and dust came out) on them. I tried to change some lines of the jbeam files but no results. I was also looking in google to find some documentation about that but no luck I hope to get some help from anyone here.
I assume you just copied a vanilla vehicle and changed the 3D model without changing any of the Jbeam at all and this is why it happens... This is not how you make a mod, you need to at least make all the nodes fit the shape, that should fix it. And yeah it can take a long time but this is what it takes to make a decent mod.
jep i used the basics from a vanilla car but i changed everything to my cars data. i´m not using any part or data like engines or wheels from the old car. i did this only cause it was to hard to write a whole jbeam file by myself. i startet modding for beam before 4 month, at the beginning i know nothing about anything how it worked and so on. the lights and exhausts were the only two things i could´t find anything in the internet. there is no documentations about. i thought this is a good place to ask about this things
