    Hello everyone, I'm writing to you because I've recently started to analyse the level editor and I'd like to create a map. In the last few days I've started to master several things about the editor. But two things are bothering me: I want to add ground textures, but when I go to Terrain tool, material Selector, they're missing. So I want to add some. So I click on Terrain Material Library and in the window that opens I click on Material Library+ , then I add a name, I choose my "ground Model" in my case Gravel, but everything is empty, Diffuse, Macro, Detail and normal, and if I click for example on Diffuse to select the right file, I only have the basic ones available, i.e. Grass, concrete, macro, ice, Rock, Mud and Rocky Dirt. However, in my folder: C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.30\levels\grandp\groundmodels I did add the file groundmodels.json

    I'd also like to add some realistic mud, like that found on the Jungle Rock map (with water and tires mark in it).

    I'd really like to make a map and these are the two things I'm lacking to be able to move forward properly. Thanks to all of you!

    If i get it right, you mixed up groundmodel and groundtextures. Groundmodel just manages how the material will behave, it doesn't include textures, so you have to import vanilla textures (don't forget to check that their resolution is the same as the one set in terrain material library for your map) or to create new ones yourself. For example, you can create new material with asphalt textures and select "grass" in the groundmodel, and it will have physical properties of grass, even though it looks like asphalt
