Released T 80UD tank (shoots and working turret)

I have conducted a research and found out that this very model was taken from 2012 game lock on 2, converted to gta san andreas by Den8660 in 2017 and then made its way to beamng

 

Interesting...

 

Good tank.

 

Hellooo.
I edited the tank and i changed a lot of things like:
Engine sound
shooting sound
turbo sound
engine toqrque curve (more realistic)
turbo curve
steering logic
trasmission
bullet texture ecc.
For more info, look at the images

I just have 3 problems.

1. I use a 5 speeds automatic trasmission (with torque converter) but when i put in Drive, it doesn't change the gear, it remains in first
2. It has infinite fuel because i didn't understand how to script the fuel tank (I tried but the engine turns off and doesnt crank anymore)
3. How do i set the exhaust? I want use two different sound (one for engine one for exhaust), make smoke and enabling thermal

Please HELP ME

Old torque graph

New torque graph

 

Automatic transmissions in this game don't shift when the wheels are not on the ground. In the T-80UD there's no wheel to begin with

 

Is there a way to bypass this feature?

 

Sorry, I don't know, may be some lua editing is needed.

 

They are slightly different. Check the Barstow Drag transmission, which has slip threshold set to 99999 i.e. always upshift even the rear wheels are slipping. However if you use nodegrabber to lift the rear wheels and floor it, the Barstow Drag still remains in 1st gear.

 

The biggest problem with tanks in BeamNG is constant oversteering.
1. The turning angular velocity makes the front of the tracks slip inward and rear of the tracks slip outward.
2. The turning centrifugal force makes the tracks, as a whole, slip outward.
These two factors add up, making rear slip higher than front. And in BeamNG(simulates classic friction physics) the higher the slip, the lower the friction, this makes the tank always oversteery. IRL tank on the other hand, tracks are not made of rubber, the friction is constant most of the time and if there's ground deformation, the higher the slip the (slightly)more the friction.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

 

Check out this file, it only has T-80UD in the vehicles folder

 

Ah, the wonders of TorqueScript.

To use

Code:

obj:playSFXOnce()

or any derivate from that you need to give the function the sound name, so the unique string that's specified on source creation.
Though I don't see where the sound depends on a TS script, the only sound related function called is in lua\vehicle, that being sounds.lua, which just uses

Code:

obj:playSFXOnceStaticCT()

 

Which is a TS file, it creates datablocks when executed. It doesn't even matter which type.
By the looks of it this file is used to create a SFX profile, of course when removed the game is missing one.
You can create a profile through lua like this:

Code:

obj:createSFXSource2("/vehicles/T-80UD/tankgun.ogg", <DESCRIPTOR PLEASE REPLACE>, <UNIQUE STRING NAME PLEASE REPLACE>, <SOUND NODE ID PLEASE REPLACE>, 0)

Available sound descriptors are:

{
   isStreaming       = true;
   is3D              = true;
   isLooping         = true;
};

These were taken from the T3D version BeamNG uses as a base.
In this case I'd use Audio2D to achieve a full explosion effect and avoid off-balance, however AudioDefault3D also works fine and is currently used for the sound.

To play the sound use this:

Code:

obj:playSFXOnceStaticCT(soundName, nodeID, volume, pitch)

soundName being the unique string name specified during sound profile creation.

 

Omg, there is an insane amount of mods which still use materials.cs for things that don't necesarilly need PBR, I guess rip all of them when 0.26 drops
And great idea about colored camo! Making winter/autumn/summer variants with it should be a blast.
