I have fixed the plugin to work with Blender 4.2.0! https://github.com/BeamNG/Blender-JBeam-Editor/releases/tag/v0.2.5
Yes it means that the .pc file is not located in a valid place. It needs to be located in a folder like "vehicles/vehicle_name" along with the other JBeam files. For example: Code: \---vehicles \---bastion | base_v6_A.pc | base_v6_awd_A.pc | bastion.jbeam | bastion_body.jbeam | bastion_brakes.jbeam | bastion_bumper_F.jbeam | sport_gt_M.pc | sport_M.pc | street_tuned.pc | taxi.pc
Sorry for bumping this thread, I checked off that I'm aware this thread is old, but does anyone know how to install this plugin? I'm on Blender 4.2.1 LTS. I pressed download ZIP from the Github website (https://github.com/BeamNG/Blender-JBeam-Editor). Then I went to Blender and clicked Edit, Preferences, Add-ons, Install from Disk..., and double clicked on the zip name (Blender-JBeam-Editor-main.zip). However, Blender does nothing. There is no error message or install message. Does the zip file have to be in a certain folder to install? I would also like to note that I do have an old version from January 2024 (blender_jbeam_editor_0.1.4.zip). It still works but is missing its properties tab when exporting. I have a video attached that shows what I did.
Hey, you need to download the zip file from the "Releases" page https://github.com/BeamNG/Blender-JBeam-Editor/releases/tag/v0.2.5 What you're doing is downloading the entire code base which isn't correct.
Thank you! It works now. However I still have a question. When I export my jbeam file, it doesn't open up a window asking me where to export my file and what to name it. It gives a message saying "Exported JBeam parts to disk: bx_bumper_f_fixed" and rewrites my imported jbeam file. Is it possible so that when I export a jbeam, it opens a window with properties asking me where I want my new jbeam file, what I want to name it, and if I want to export all jbeams or just the selected ones? It's an old feature but I liked it because it allowed me to have an original jbeam file and an edited one. Though it's okay if it's isn't possible anymore.
