[TUTORIAL]: How to do Engine Swaps (with pictures)

thank you so much I was looking for this.

 

me neither
NEVERMIND I GOT IT
nvm.....i gave up.

 

This is confusing my whole brain. Instructions are very vaguely explained. the writing is REALLY bad on pictures.

 

I did everything step by step, put the textures in changed all the needed files. Added subaru_engine to the EJ jbeam flexbody I did everything and it's still missing textures and half of it is missing?

 

he also seems to have skipped some parts, and its outdated since materials.cs has been updated to .json

Thanks so much bro!!!

 

Step 22 says, and I quote, "It will paste", yet, he doesn't explain that you're supposed to copy something earlier in the tutorial. This makes 0 sense.

 

why my engine is invisible? i make all steps

 

What's the engine file name for Roamer? I tried looking for "roamer_engine.jbeam" but I think it has a special name or it's integrated to another file since I can't find it.

 

take a look in vehicles\common\pickup there are a few engine jbeams in there.

 

I already found it earlier. I was able to make an electric Roamer

 

Hello, I am currently working on swapping a Nissan GT-R VR38 into a Civetta Bolide, so how would I copy the turbocharger section into the Jbeam? Or it's something different? I also wanted to import the sounds as well, can anyone add please?

 

I'm very confused, where do I find the materials.cs and what thing of it do I need to paste into the other materials.cs? Also after you zip the folder where do you place it?

 

This is now called materials.json. You put the finished .zip into the mods folder

 

What does it mean? Does this issue happens in the engine.jbeam or it's the engine being too big?

 

Thank you for the boost in direction workclock1© and contributors.
I was a little frustrated without Blender, but now because of your post I have saved a few hours of headache.
Swapping SBR into Sunburst for my EJ253 mod.

 

Bit of a bump, but would this be possible for an automation car? (example: putting a different 3d engine model into a car made in automation)

 

*bump*

Out of boredom, I decided to use this tutorial and make a simple mod that adds the I3 from the Ibishu Pigeon to the Gavril Bluebuck. Does anyone know how to move it forward to the engine bay so it's not clipping into the interior?



Thank you.
