I ran into a problem for a while now and can't find a solution. Following this nice tutorial (http://wiki.beamng.com/Introduction_to_Vehicle_Creation) I have to add this line for hydros: "hydros": [ ["id1:","id2:"], ] Done, no problem. My vehicle loads ingame and everything, the hydro isn't there though. If I replace it with this code ["b0","b7",{"factor":0.05,"steeringWheelLock":460,"lockDegrees":25}], ["b0","b7",{"factor":0.05,"steeringWheelLock":460,"lockDegrees":25}], it doesn't work anymore, the vehicle crashes with pretty much nothing useable for me, the only error it gives me is "table expected, got string". I attached all needed files (I think) and tried out various different lines, copied some from other vehicles and so on, the result is always the same.
I fixed your code, it was missing the id string and parameters (I commented on what was missing) I also added some beam code for added adjustment. Copy and paste this code to see if it works. "hydros": [ ["id1:","id2:"], // id string {"beamDeform":2500000000}, //beam information {"beamSpring":160100}, {"beamStrength":2500}, ["b0","b7",{"factor":0.05,"steeringWheelLock":460,"lockDegrees":25}], // hydros parameters ["b0","b7",{"factor":0.05,"steeringWheelLock":460,"lockDegrees":25}], {"beamPrecompression":1.0}, // beam information ],
The beam parameters aren't necessary for it to work. All you need is the header. Of course though, you will want to set them, else you'll be using whatever beam parameters that were set last.
I just used the exact code you gave me (just edited the ids to suit my n/b) but it doesn't work. I tried removing the "//text" because they already gave me errors earlier (idk why), but that didn't change anything.
// indicates a comment and everything behind it on the same line will be ignored. If these are giving you issues you've mismatched quotes somewhere. The jbeam file you've included at the top is missing commas and the log you've provided contains no information on parse errors (see if beamng.log has any). Though from what I can gather I'd guess you've been sloppy with brackets, braces, quotes and commas: take some time to make sure these all match. Keeping your indentation clean and consistent really helps with that.
Just open the console in game, it shows all parse errors, most importantly the line and column numbers....
The console gave me this: It's the result from the torque3d.log I posted before, I wanted to upload this image, too, but it failed and I didn't bother trying again because I thought all information is in the log.
