Maybe I'm just absolutely retarded or something, but basically the new vehicle selector seems to filter the vehicles by manufacturer. I cannot find how on earth it is identifying which vehicles belong to which manufacturer. There seems to be nothing to indicate manufacturer in the JBeam files or name.cs files and again - maybe I'm retarded but I can't find the app code either to see how its working it out. Anyone got any ideas? Mostly trying to clean up my mods collection.
Magic. OT: I actually don't know. My guess is that it would be in the app code, but I'm not home to look for it either.
app code for the vehicle chooser is located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\BeamNG.drive\html\components\beamng\bng-vehicle-chooser
The app code is in dialogs.js. The manufacturers aren't dynamically found at the minute, but Gavril, Ibishu etc. are stored in an array and found from there.
I believe it works similarly to how the parts selector eliminates the full vehicle name from the part/slot name (so you don't have the vehicle name repeated 100 times). It looks for a repeated string that begins the name and grabs that (or it just takes the first word from name.cs...).
So then it would it be possible for all props to be under a prop brand in the next version for example?
Or like we have sections for different vehicle company's we could have a props Section filled with the props Ingame could that work?
Yes, but I'm saying that with the current way the selector finds the company name/category, the props would all have to start their name with "Props" to be in a "Props" category. We would need to change the code and probably add another file (category.cs or something) to the vehicle folder.
Because the other category perhaps has all the vehicles which dont fit all the other known categories.... - - - Updated - - - Thanks. Guess that explains a few things.
Because it's not named in such a way that the code would pick up a brand name. It doesn't have "other" in the name.
