Unsolved Vehicle texturing does not work

Hey. I am working on a test vehicle to get started to modding beamng but I am stuck on the texturing part. I have made a model that I want to use and I have made a simple basic texture thru blender with the bake function, but it doesnt show up in the game. I have followed the introduction to Vehicle production but it doesnt work for me. Maybe someone can try to explain whats wrong to me so I can fix it.

Files is attached.

Thanks in advance.

 

Just had a quick look, couple things i notice

1. The name of your mesh is "Car" but in your jbeam in the flexbody section you have "MyFirstVehicle" which is the name of the .dae file. This is incorrect, you should use the name of the actual mesh itself instead so in this case "Car"

2. your jbeam and vehicle mesh shouldnt be the same thing. Its fine for a first test, we all start somewhere. But just so you know in the future, the mesh doesnt have to be the same thing as the jbeam, you can make the mesh whatever you want

3. Im assuming youre following one of the tutorials on the wiki, which is now out dated (we really need to update that, sorry) but you now need an info.json file and the vehicle needs to be packaged differently (i explained both of these things more here http://beamng.com/threads/making-jbeam-structure-visible-in-game.29408/#post-424863) you can take a look at other mods or official vehicles to see what the info.json file is like, its very easy. Just open it with notepad and edit the vehicle and author name

Hope that helps, good luck

 

Thank you so much for your reply. This worked now but if i added the info.json file it didnt show up in the vehicle selector. But when i removed the info.json file it showed up again. Any clue to that?

I have also noticed this. What is happening here? The Jbeam structure is outside of the model?

Sorry for bad english...​

 

can we see your info.json file?

 

copied from the tutorial on the wiki:

Code:

{
    "Configuration":"Default",
    "Transmission":"Automatic",
    "Description":"My First test vehicle ever made",
    "Drivetrain":"N/A",
    "Body Style":"Sedan",
    "Value":40900,
    "Performance Class":"6",
    "Config Type":"Factory",
    "default_color":"Scarlet Red"
}

 

That's for a configuration, not a vehicle.
