Introduction to MultiDae

Yes I have, many times
The problem with the material editor is that I dont know what slot is my rim material. I see pickup textures etc but no my rims.

EDIT!
Found the material slot in editor. it was called: Material

Oh and thanks Nade for all of your effort!

 

Thanks alot, nadeox, this took very little time and moderate effort to accomplish+understand.

 

I'm sorry if this is just me being stupid but would this method work for putting wheels from one vehicle on to another?

 

Ever since the introduction of multidae, wheels are already added to vehicles with it. Wheel meshes are in wheels.dae in common.zip. None of the vehicles have their own wheels in their meshes. Multi-dae is used.

 

Sorry didnt make it clear I meant for example transferring parts from one car to another like the off road bumper. As i was going to try make an off road version of the barnstow.

 

i made custom wheels work for the semi
but if i am correct i have to move other meshes to common if some other cars use that mesh
ie my semi uses sbr discs so i made a mod that placed the sbr dae in the common folder
ofcourse the slot name and name is different so far so good
nothing conflicts but when i try and shove the barstol v8 in the 89 pessima the barstol wont spawn with textures unless the WHOLE folder .dae, materials and jbeams were in the common folder

the probelm i now have is that the other classic cars (burnside and moonhawk)and the van now spawn as barstol meshes

has something gone wrong?

if so what is the best way to borrow an engine from a car

 

I think we need a new tutorial because in these years the game has changed much and now I have no idea how to put the front heavy duty van wheels on his rear axle

 

i do
you just take the mesh from the front and use it in the rear

 

Can you explain step by step please?

 

find
wheels_R_6.jbeam
and wheels F 6

make new single wheel

remove the inner (or outer) wheel
and replace
steelwheel_04a_16x8_inner/outer
with
steelwheel_04a_16x8

and adjust

and follow the tutorial

you can do this with any mesh although i'm having some problems which may or may not be my fault

finished should look like this


"steelwheel_04a_16x8_R": {
"information":{

you may need to adjust offset as needed

you could also use other rims in place of this but you may need to change the brakes

or alternatively you could tell the hd rear hub to use the front wheels
EDIT
having two sets of front tires upsets the game

and there you go custom wheels, discs, engines and radiators
(still working on the last 2)

 

It work! Oh Thanks!!! Oh... It's amazing!
The correct offset x pos are these ones
//outer
["steelwheel_04a_16x8", ["wheel_RR"], [], {"pos":{"x":-0.56, "y":0.0, "z":0.0}, "rot":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":180}, "scale":{"x":1, "y":1, "z":1}}],

Can i use the Front brakes on the rear whit the "front" rear HD wheels?

Thanks Again!! Oh... I will gonna have much fun...

EDIT:
Awww man that pictures are awersome, I Specially like the pesima, Remembers me that Vaz 2107 crazy tunes

I can tell the HD rear hub to use the front single HD wheell and be able to swich to the Rear Dually HD rear Whells?

 

i got it either way the front brakes dont show by default anyway in any place so theres an empty hole in the middle
while theres nothing stopping using front category wheels to be used in the rear...
you only need to add a separate hub with a front slot instead of a rear slot
like
XX_R to XX_F
although beam may get grumpy with having multiple "front" wheels IIRC even the semi has separate fr /rr wheels you could put the front wheels in the middle but not when the front is also using them....
it makes the game grumpy because theres multiple entries for each corner

 

I'm having a problem trying to put the Dually on the front hubs.
The wheels works fine but the textures are rotating of a invisible centre on the midle of the car

 

what i mean was the wheels and the center bit of the brake are separate and dont change with the offset
to fix that
add this entry in the common pickup heavy rear suspention

"pickup_brake_R_heavy_off": {
"information":{
"authors":"BeamNG",
"name":"Heavy Duty Rear Brakes Offset",
"value":500,

{"brakeSplitCoef":0.25},
{"parkingTorque":3000},
{"brakeSpring":20},
],
},

as for front duals just do the reverse of adding singles to the rear and use logic

IN other news i fixed my problem

 

Ohh, Thanks!
But now have a problem whit the Original HD rear brake on the van and the Offset ones arent selectable [Picture addjunted]

 

the brakes should be a new entry
cause my van works fine

 

Like that?

no idea why the van would be weird

i think its because the h45 and h15 have different wheel bases

 

I dont now. But I have tried some diferent conbinations and taht are the results
Vanster:
Stock brakes: Corrrect
Off.road brakes: Correct
Heavy Duty brakes: Wrong pos
Cabster:
Stock brakes: Wrong pos
Off:Road Brakes: Wrong pos
Heavy Duty: Correct

(I didn't touch the H.Series brakes, only the D.Series ones)

Edit: Where are the small trailer defined? I want to allow it to use hudcaps and other 4 lug whells
