Hello, I was wondering on how to create multiple exhaust nodes, like having exhaust tips on both the left and the right side of a vehicle and make both of the exhausts spit out fumes. Thanks for helping. After understanding this, I wan't to explain how I THINK I did it. So, the node e1 on the picture is an engine node, the ex1 is the 1st exhaust node, ex2 the 2nd and ex3 the last. So from e1 I put a beam between it and ex1, and gave it the property of "isexhaust:true" I did the same with both ex2 and ex3 but connected them both to ex1. And gave both ex2 and ex3 the property of "isexhaust:true" aswell. What I think it would look like in a .jbeam document: ["e1","ex1",{isexhaust:true}] ["ex2","ex1",{isexhaust:true}] ["ex3","ex1",{isexhaust:true}] Please tell me if I wrote something wrong. And criticize my picture
Hey, you are not allowed to have multiple exhaust node. Instead you have to create kind of a junction. First create one single exhaust node by adding the specific property to the node. Code: ["e3r", 0.12, -1.62, 0.74,{"isExhaust":true}], After that you will just define the corresponding beams which are leading the way towards the final node of the exhaust (another time by adding the same property to the beams). That's why you are able to rip off parts off the exhaust and the fume will come out at these positions. e.g. in the engine.jbeam Code: ["e1r","e3r"{"isExhaust":true}], e.g. in the exhaust.jbeam Code: ["ex1","e1r"{"isExhaust":true}], ["ex1","ex2"{"isExhaust":true}], ["ex3","ex2"{"isExhaust":true}] etc. So that's why you need to add kind of junctions like we do in the semi_exhaust.jbeam if you want to have multiple fume outputs. e.g. in the exhaust.jbeam Code: ["ex1","e1r"{"isExhaust":true}], ["ex1","ex2"{"isExhaust":true}], ["ex1","ex4"{"isExhaust":true}]
so in other words, no straight pipe dual exhaust on the D-series.....now that i think about it.......*goes to request dual pipes on the D-series
I think that you could get dual exhaust by having two I4 engines instead of single V8 engine in engine bay, of course it would become wonderfully complicated to get output of those two engines to wheels, but as BeamNG supports several engines, this way you could cheat and have dual exhaust. Of course two I4 engines would not be same as single V8 engine and it would be ridiculous way to get dual exhaust, but I believe that would make it happen.
Isn't there already a mod that does that? stubby T-series I think it's called... Having 2 fume outputs that is.
It has T-pipe from single exhaust source, so it is not 'real' dual exhaust, with V-engine each pipe runs from own exhaust manifold without connecting to each other (unless you have X-pipe, H-pipe or similar) so having dual individual exhaust poses different problem. Two diffs, connect diffs to wheels and to each other, two gear boxes? Or using transfer case? Certainly there should be a way to use two engines as there is possibility to have many, can torque converter accept more than one engine to input or does things go berserk?
Just make the tagged exhaust beams branch immediately from the start node to follow some of the engine block beams. They don't break, so you will always get 2 smoke points when the exhaust falls off. So, you will have 1 start node, and 2 beams coming from that node, 1 to one side of the block, 1 to the other.
Yes, if you just consider the engine as the single exhaust source - it is exactly like "true dual" exhaust imo. Comes out of two sides, from a single source. BNEditor still works. It's quite useful if you can get past it quirks. Used on T-series exhaust and cab below. You can have two engines, but they can not be connected to the same tree, or the same wheel, unfortunately. Which kind of negates any plans I would have had for running multiple engines.
