(Mod!) Chassis/Engine Codes for BeamNG Vehicles

A'ight, sorry about that. I was not aware that it wasn't actually in the game files.

 

I think four factory ones- manual, auto, 423 manual, 423 auto, plus the police and kentarch ones which makes eight- park ranger, D10K manual, D10K auto, D30K manual, D30K auto

Edit: nope

 

It's seven Charro configs, sorry for the confusion - the D10 V8 auto, the 423 Sport auto, the park ranger, the Marauder, the Zeta, and the Kentarch D10/D30 auto configs. Still not very much at all.

Also, the "K" extension for the GTPs is only used for Kentarch conversions. "M" is what I'm using at the end of military GTPs' codes.

I'm not quite sure how to handle the park ranger, Zeta, D30 Kentarch, and Marauder - they were all produced from 1992 to 1997, like the regular GTP500 D-Series trims, but they're all based on the Charro, which is technically a GTP400. There's also the issue of a possible mixup with the pre-facelift Roamer, which currently uses the GTP510 code.

I suppose I could call the '92 Charros GTP500s or GTP410Fs or something like that.

I'll also have to try my mod with BeamMP - if it breaks the servers there, then that might be a bit of an oofie.

 

Isn't the Maurauder based on the heavy-duty "short" chassis? That would make it a GTPx30 or GTPx40, which also brings up the problem of the LXT35...

 

Oh, yeah, that's a fair point. The GTPx30 is for the D25/35, while the GTPx40 is for the D45. I think that the Marauder would be a GTP530M, then.

I don't quite know how I would go about with the LXT35 - probably just gonna make that a GTP530, as well. Same goes for the D30 Kentarch.

 

I imagined a big Hopper as a completely different vehicle, first with the VH100 blending the OG Wagoneer with the LC50, then the VH200 switching to a more Range Rover Classic-looking vehicle with some LC60 and Patrol 160 influence, then mixing later Range Rover, Land Cruiser and Patrol generations (P38/L322/L405, LC80/LC100/LC200, Y60/Y61/Y62), and now arriving at a blend of the modern Wagoneer, L460 Range Rover and LC300 for the VH600. As for the regular Hopper, I'd also imagine newer generations coming up and blending Wrangler and Land Cruiser Prado ideas (TJ/LC90, JK/LC120/LC150, JL/next Prado/L663 Defender), possibly referred to as H400, H500 and H600.

Other Ibishu SUV ideas include a mix of the Cherokee, 1st gen Discovery and 1st gen 4Runner, ZJ Grand Cherokee/1st gen Discovery/2nd gen 4Runner, later Grand Cherokees mixed with Highlanders and Cherokees mixed with Freelanders and RAV4s, a Commander/LR3/4th gen 4Runner offroader (and a smaller Patriot/LR2/FJ Cruiser combo), a blend of the Compass and Urban Cruiser/Corolla Cross, and another of the Avenger and Yaris Cross.

 

I always thought that the Hopper was more in the way of the HD LCs with it's big I6, with a Dove-Wagon based thing as the Prado, but I can see yours working out too. I tried to make the VHs the way I did to make them less like the Fortuner, 4Runner, and Seqoia analogs- this is why I envisioned the current VH with retro Grand Cherokee and Defender influenced styling. Keep in mind that the Patrol and Land Cruiser are closer in size to a RR sport, Disco, or GC than a RR or GW.

The kentarches need not be on Roamer codes as they are aftermarket mods of pickups.

 

The LC70 also came with 4.0/4.5 I6s, so there's nothing un-LC70-like about the Hopper's six.

 

This would make sense for the J70 and possibly J90 versions, but apart from that the Wrangler is just completely different form the Prado. There are two ways I could see this working- a long-running J70 esque platform with both a retro light-duty Prado/Wrangler version and a utilitarian heavy-duty model, or a wrangler esque model on an IFS platform like the Prado's, shared with the 4runner/fortuner of Ibishu's lineup. You could even mash these up giving the light duty versions from the first scenario IFS...

Only on the heavy-duty versions. The J70 Prado was I4 only.

I have some names for Ibishu in mind actually-

Jumper Z400 (International except NA)- Jimny, with Wrangler styling. Kei/mini-SUV. BoF, front and rear solid coil axles.
Dove U800 (International except NA)- Hilux/Navara/D-Max. Midsized 1/2 row pickup/chassis. BoF, IFS, rear solid leaf axle.
Dove Wagon XU800 (International except NA)- Fortuner/Terra/MU-X. Midsized 2/3 row SUV. BoF, IFS, rear solid leaf axle. Sold in some regions as Adventurer.
Dove VU810 (NA)- Tacoma/Frontier. Midsized 2/3 row pickup/chassis. BoF, IFS, rear solid leaf axle.
Pioneer XVU730 (International)- 4runner/Highlander/Pathfinder with some New Defender styling. Midsized 2/3 row SUV. BoF, IFS, rear solid coil axle. Sold in some regions as Hopper Sport.
Hopper Light XH350 (International)- Wrangler/J70/Old Defender/Prado. Fullsized 1/2 row pickup/SUV. BoF, front and rear solid coil axle.
Hopper Heavy H350 (International except NA and EU)- J70/Old Defender. Fullsized 1/2/3 row pickup/SUV/van/chassis. BoF, front and rear solid leaf axles.
Super Hopper/Cavalcade VH810 (International)- Grand Cherokee/LC300/New Defender. Larger Midsized 3 row SUV. BoF, IFS, rear solid coil axle.
Kanawha Q400 (NA)- Titan/Tundra. Fullsized 1/2 row pickup. BoF, IFS, rear solid leaf axle.
Anchorage XQ400 (NA)- Patrol/Armada/Seqoia. Fullsized 3 row SUV. BoF, IFS, rear solid leaf axle or rear multilink.

Alternatively, I also like shotgun chuck's idea of Ibishu having only the Hopper(s) in the US, with light trucks otherwise limited to the international market. The US Dove and Pioneer could then be rebadges or joint projects.

 

I wouldn't consider the Dove anywhere near a compact pickup, it's closer to a kei truck or an utilitarian vehicle like the Toyota Kijang. Maybe the Dove has turned into a minivan too?

Or there's a choice for the buyers: a regular Hopper with IFS, or an offroad version without IFS (though I guess many solid axle Hoppers would not see anything but dry asphalt, being bought for clout).

Another idea is having the Wrangler/Defender/Prado car have a solid front axle and a removable roof, and be the hardcore one of the pair, while also having Ibishu sell a Grand Commander (?)/Discovery/4Runner-like SUV with IFS as the milder counterpart, plus a Commander/Fortuner-like car for developing countries.

 

The name is used on two unnoficial mods, one of which is a silly but fun D-series rebadge. The one you're refrencing is literally obsolete from being replaced by the in-game 4-wheel Pigeons.

 

Not sure about elsewhere, but at least in the australian market, it was possible to get a SWB j70/71 "Shorty", or MWB J73/4 "Middy" with all the full-size J70 parts, including the "F" 4.0 I6 engine.
These "shorties" were sold alongside the AUDM version of the Prado called the "Bundera", so they had coil SFA, L engines, etc. but were only available in the slightly longer "MWB" FRP bodystyle.)

My interpretation of the whole lineage is that the previous gen hopper is a mix of the mitsubishi jeep and CJ7, basically a continuously adapted version of the original WW2/korean war era military vehicle, with SWB and LWB pickup/troop carrier bodies, all with removable roofs.

I theorise that the Hopper we see in-game is only the USDM version, which only gets the "light-duty" variant.

the "light duty" version is like the land cruiser prado/bundera, posessing unique (in this case more retro) styling, coil suspension, mostly 4cyl engines, (though the US gets the I6s because road infrastructure)
with the "heavy duty" version having boxier styling with outboard headlights like an LR Series 3 or CJ10, more 6 cylinder engines (and diesels generally), leaf sprung axles all around, and of course, a myriad of bodystyles.

 

Ooh, this is cool!
