    This is a LUA mod to make it possible to generate "Additional Modifications"-slot mods for every vehicle ingame that supports it, even modded ones, that have the "vehiclename_mod" - slot. This makes the modding of all supported beamng vehicles at once less tedious and easier. Required for creating a mod with this:
    • one template.json file, which is the structure for a vehiclename_mod.jbeam file in the right folder
    • gmsgDownloader exists for creating Plugins to make it easy with Dependency resolving -> Just add to the mod when creating standalone using the UI
    -> this mod will then automatically generate all jbeam files based on all the found templates Current state:
    • working for most all vanilla and most modded vehicles
    • imgui app with bindable Hotkey in settings or a button in UI, for Settings, generating Standalone mods etc.
    Current issues:
    • Sometimes doesn't seem to appear, might be a coroutine issue --> Seems to be an issue with disabling random mods also disabling this
    Additional Ideas/Plans:
    • compatibility with non _mod slot vehicles (some unsupported modded vehicles) -- on hold
    • support for all slot types -- on hold, might not be easily possible
    • support for all "Additional Modification" -mods -- should be possible

    i know, it has not been approved yet, it will probably still take some time because they started checking LUA mods more thoroughly, thanks for reaching out tho

    Hi to everyone in this thread interested. I've started with the ingame app to make standalone mods, its pretty much ready to release for the most part.
    Next i plan on making the mod compatible with all existing "Additional Modification" - mods and in that way make a lot more stuff available to combine etc.
    This would however mean that every detected Additional Modification - mod would be copied and modified, which i am unsure if that is very smart. Lmk what you guys think.
