Outdated Unlimited Nitrous Bottle for All 0.28 Vehicles - (tutorial on how to make your own N2O mod)

Unlimited Nitrous Bottle for All 0.28 Vehicles

This mod adds an unlimited nitrous oxide bottle option in the parts selection menu for all vanilla 0.28 BeamNG vehicles that currently have a nitrous oxide system. Its not technically unlimited, but it may as well be. The unlimited bottle has a 99999999999.99 capacity. (the default values are 4.54 for 10lb and 9.07 for 20lb bottles) Simply go to the parts selection menu and select "Unlimited Nitrous Oxide Bottle"




This mod has NOT been updated and uses files from 0.28 It may still work on newer versions, but use at your own risk. I might update one day, but for now check out my last post in this thread for a tutorial on how to make your own unlimited nitrous bottle mod for any game version and any vehicle that already has a nitrous oxide system.

 

My focus is a map Im working on. Someone wanted to have unlimited nitrous so I just batched out replacing the capacity in every N20 file really quick. I dont really mess with parts of vehicles, so I didnt really care to figure that out right away.

EDIT; I didnt realize how easy it was, so I added it. At first I didnt really care, I just wanted a quick and simple N20 cheat mode for 0.28 The first version literally took seconds to find and replace capacity in files. I didnt realize the bottle "part" was just a single block of code in the n20 file.

 

It would take like two more minutes to make them separate.

 

It wasnt two minutes, but was pretty easy.

 

Updated to add Unlimited N20 Bottle in the parts selector instead of replacing the default capacities.

 

Can you you do V0.32 please

 

I have had very little free time lately and have been trying to release a map as well as update my career mode mods. So as of right now this mod is not really on the table, (as you can tell since its a 0.28 mod and we are on 0.32) Although if I can get my map out soon, I can consider remaking this mod. I can give you a very quick tutorial on making it yourself if you want to give it a try.

Find this file:
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles\rockbouncer.zip
rockbouncer.zip\vehicles\rockbouncer\rockbouncer_n2o.jbeam

Copy it to:
(use launcher to open your user data folder)
..\0.32\mods\unpacked\YOURMODNAME\vehicles\rockbouncer\rockbouncer_n2o.jbeam

Rename to: rockbouncer_n2o_YOURMODNAME.jbeam

"YOURMODNAME" can be anything


Open the file and find the 10lb bottle section (or 20lb - whichever you want to use as a base) and delete everything else except for that section and a single { bracket at the top and a single } bracket at the bottom. So now your file should look exactly like this:

Code:

{
"n2o_bottle_10lb": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"10lb Nitrous Oxide Bottle",
        "value":200,
    },
    "slotType" : "n2o_bottle",
    "props": [
        ["func",     "mesh",        "idRef:", "idX:", "idY:", "baseRotation",            "rotation",            "translation",         "min", "max", "offset", "multiplier"],
        {"optional":true},
        ["null", "n2o_bottle_10lb", "stb1l","stb1r","stb2l",        {"x":-90, "y":-90, "z":-21}, {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, {"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, 0, 0, 0, 1, {"baseTranslation":{"x":0.159,"y":0.282, "z":0.043}}],
        {"optional":false},
    ],
    "powertrain": [
        ["type", "name", "inputName", "inputIndex"],
    ],
    "energyStorage": [
        ["type", "name"],
        ["n2oTank", "mainBottle"],
    ],
    "mainBottle": {
        "capacity": 4.54,
        "startingCapacity": 4.54,
    },
    "mainEngine": {
        "energyStorage": ["mainTank","fueltank_R", "fueltank_L", "mainBottle"],
    },
    "n2o": {
        "purgeValves:": ["f6r","f1r"],
    },
    "nodes": [
         ["id", "posX", "posY", "posZ"],
         //--N2O Bottle--
         {"nodeMaterial":"|NM_METAL"},
         {"frictionCoef":0.5},
         {"collision":true},
         {"selfCollision":false},
         {"group":"n2o_bottle"},
         {"nodeWeight":11},
         {"engineGroup":"n2o_bottle"},
         ["n2o", 0.0, -0.3, 0.88],
         {"engineGroup":""},
         {"group":""},
         {"collision":true},
    ],
    "beams": [
          ["id1:", "id2:"],
          {"beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1.0, "beamShortBound":1.0},
          {"beamSpring":1501000,"beamDamp":150},
          {"beamDeform":15000,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"},
          {"deformLimitExpansion":""},
          ["n2o", "stb1l"],
          ["n2o", "stb2l"],
          ["n2o", "stb1r"],
          ["n2o", "stb2r"],
          {"beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1.0, "beamShortBound":1.0},
          {"deformLimitExpansion":1.1},
    ],
}
}

At the very top rename your part so it wont overwrite the original:

Code:

"n2o_bottle_10lb": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"10lb Nitrous Oxide Bottle",
        "value":200,
    },
    "slotType" : "n2o_bottle",

to:

Code:

"n2o_bottle_YOURMODNAME": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"YOURMODNAME Nitrous Oxide Bottle",
        "value":200,
    },
    "slotType" : "n2o_bottle",

then change the capacity:

Code:

    "mainBottle": {
        "capacity": 4.54,
        "startingCapacity": 4.54,
    },

to:

Code:

    "mainBottle": {
        "capacity": 999999,
        "startingCapacity": 999999,
    },

Save the file and youre done. You can either leave it as is or zip it up and place it into your mods folder like normal. Or while playing the game go into the mod manager and click the button to "pack mod". Now you have a zipped up mod and you can upload to the repo or the forums. Good luck.

 

I tried, but since I honestly have no programming experience and this was my first time, it didn't work at al

 

Can you make this mod in the near future
