    Hello everyone this is my first post but I am not new to the forums. I have been perusing them for almost five months now. Anyway I recently took up an interest in making vehicular mods. Well... the modelling is going okay but I am having a problem with my .JBEAM Files. Whenever I type out a new JBeam structure with proper syntax and information and try to load it into the game, I get what appears to be a solid infinitely thin rectangle (I will just call it a license plate). This is very frustrating and to ensure that it was not an error on my part (syntax) I created a new and completely blank .JBEAM File. Then I copied and pasted all of the text from the sunburst.JBEAM File of the Hirochi Sunburst into the blank one and named it 'sunburst.jbeam'. Then I put it in a blank sunburst folder with a name.CS file and the sunburst.DAE file and guess what? When I loaded it in game I got another license plate!:mad: What am I doing wrong? could someone please tell me? I can only assume that I am not naming the file extensions right or perhaps there are issues with the name of the folder in correspondence with the names in the jbeam. At this point I just don't know anymore, could someone please help?

    P.S. Please forgive me if this has been asked previously but I honestly could not find any posts of what I am experiencing in the forum.

    Thanks in advanced.

    This could be a typo in you jbeam. I am going to check your files and report back(i have had this many a time)

    UPDATE
    you had quite a few problems. These fixes are for the cube jbeam! if you need me to check the other one, tell me!
    when i opened console there were a combo of 2 problems. One it told me where it was(pictures dont take of console for some weird reason) and the other was a typo.
    to start, you had to many curly brackets at the end of your jbeam(this is the typo problem)

    that bottom line(71) only needs one bracket
    like this

    Second problem(the one it told me about)

    All values that are going to be something like the .6 in this picture

    @narwhal2, Since jbeams open with 2 brackets they need to close with 2
    Code:
    {
    "Sub22B_engine": {
    
    }
    }

    I guess I must have missed that zero before the decimal point when double checking the code. Anyways, I did what you said and it worked! Thanks a lot! However that still does not explain why the sunburst.jbeam file did not work. I did not change it at all from gabester's work, I just copied and pasted it.
