Discord proudly run by tech elitist pigs, as are all other mainstream social media. No thanks, I’ll pass.
It's 2025 and this website has been a glorified daycare for years (which is why nobody worth interacting with in this community actively uses it for simple communication anymore) If you're actively still using these forums and are not involved in any of the BeamNG community anywhere else for reasons as goofy as this, you are likely considered one of the children in said daycare
It's not about making a discord account, or even about joining the official BeamNG server, it's about not needing to.
I’m old enough to be the judge of my own decisions, thank you very much. I’ve always preferred everything being centralized to one place, not just beam but everything in general. Never liked the idea of having to sign up for this and that then pretty soon you have like a thousand different accounts. Plus I’ve never cared for the big corporate social platforms nor understood people’s fascination with them. With that being said, I would prefer to not continue with this topic and put it to rest
Hello everyone! Been hard at work with updating the segra and im expecting to release a major update soon that fixes pretty much all of the new bugs and also other under-the-hood bugs. There should also soon be a thread for the trailer project that i'm working on both here on the forums and on discord. Just recently finished up an air suspension system overhaul, will now spread the weight across all axles much better when using a lift axle, amongst that, 5 cyl engine, 6 cyl engine with different sounds, tweaks to sounds, particles and parts, upfit and overhang offset stuff, lua changes and optimisations and a whole lot more stuff that i cant remember. Although it is quite busy atm, starting my new engineering job in January, finishing up the trailer mod (which i mentioned should get a thread here soon) and the cab update for Segra, so I have a lot on my plate rn but im doing the best i can with the time i got. Happy holidays and see you later. --- Post updated --- also, big new for any Ko-Fi user: I have decided to move over fully to Gumroad from Ko-Fi, everyone who has purchased the segra on Ko-Fi should be able to see the blog post about how to migrate (free of charge of course), and i hope there wont be any issues. however, please contact me if theres any issues and i can help you out in that case. --- Post updated --- https://overpower.gumroad.com/l/rzmlv Changelog V1.7.9 ------------------------------ Fixed PTO not default on dump config Fixed plastic filler panel on flatbed config Fixed US-tanker liveries not working Fixed air tanks clipping a frame support on certain frame configs Fixed flatbed config sagging when loaded Fixed cab suspension couplers not coupling when tilting cab Tweaked radiator strength Tweaked rear suspension airbag strength Replaced front steering torsion hydros with regular hydros for better control. Added new air suspension logic to lua with new offset elements that raises the rear suspension slightly with a trailer attached. Added new offset components for certain slots that are helpful for frame mounted stuff Added smoothing to curb lights actuation Numerous Jbeam tweaks on the front crashbar and steps, it is now considerably softer, should vibrate less and should deform better. Optimised LUA coding for better performance and moved some of it to opcore for better compability for future mods. Added new rear overhang part for the upcoming trailer/upfit mod Tweaked upfit / stack offset values Fixed mixer upfit chute breaking Moved rims and tires to opcore in order to make them shared between future mods Tweaked airbag values and fixed various suspension issues Fixed a bunch of broken syntaxes and errors across all of the jbeams and html's to hopefully improve performance and to keep the log free from errors. Added i5 mesh for the 8.7l making it a 5 cylinder now, part names have been changed accordingly. Re-added the rear-most battery box. It was removed some time earlier for unknown reasons. Reworked radiators and intake parts, now all engines share the same parts. this also means the muffling of both intake and exhaust now works as it should. Renamed DPF unit to Exhaust After Treatment unit, for more realism. Reworked front headlights and roof marker lights to illuminate realisticly, ie proper parking light / running light functionality. Replaced engine sounds for both the i5 and i6. The inline 5 now uses the citybus sound with some tweaks, and the inline 6 now uses the new dump truck engine sounds. Tweaked many engine values across the board to work better with the new sounds and to improve realism somewhat. Fixed offset stuff for frames and overhangs, tweaked all overhangs on all upfits, shouldnt break anything. Fixed broken container upfit frame, moved containers and resized container frame to new container size (yes this was changed a couple updates ago) Full rework of the lift axle system, now distributes pressure evenly and more realisticly
Thanks so much for letting us know, I wish you the best with your new job! I am very excited to see what you've been cooking up! Happy to report my migration was successful.
I tried to get it using the link you sent me on Gumroad, but it just keeps sending me in circles. I bought it on Ko-fi.
what do you mean? it should take you to the gumroad page where the discount is applied already, you select purchase and go through that process and you will not be charged anything. let me know if it works!
Dude, I had to enter a number in the tip field. I thought I was going to get STUPIT like GOD DAAAAAAAMMMNN! I entered my credit card information and the discount code, but noting happend, it only happened after I entered a number in the tip field. EDIT: Imagine a laughing emoji face after the damn thing, for some reason it doesn't post for me.
Howdy y'all! I came back after about 6 months and noticed my segra's engine no longer emits noises. Some of my custom configs also have parking brake stuck on. I'm assuming that it's because my segra version is a year old (1.7.1)... How do I update it? Edit: Nevermind I found my purchase on Gumroad.
guess i gotta start actually reading the ko-fi/gumroad emails but just for anyone asking, will the code expire at some point, or is there no deadline on the switch? (already did, just wanted to know)
It is available to be used for a limited time but if theres enough demand i just simply update the discount code to work a little longer. The goal is for as many as possible to be able to migrate reliably from my end. --- Post updated --- There is a pintle hitch available for the segra already, just have to select the correct overhang frame. --- Post updated --- For those who dont follow the discord thread much, here is an update on the cabs that i am working on atm. Big selection coming (however not every single variant will make it ingame because of there not being enough differentiating them.) It's more to show how modular my system is, for more up to date information please become a patreon member and join my discord or simply follow the Beamcord thread. These photos also show the new offroad bumper that is coming along with the cabs. Still have plenty of work ahead of me so im not giving out any dates for when its coming, but wanted to let yall know that its in progress.
Those look sick yo, cab update gonna be bussin. On the cabs, would you consider having the low/high roof a separately customizable item, akin to ETS2? Selectable part of the cab instead of having duplicate cabs themselves.
