Hiya all, Update #14!: I'm about 80% done with the interior, not sure if I'll need to refine it. I think I might be able to finish the model this weekend, the drivetrain is what's missing the most and I'm just going to borrow parts and scale them. The chassis should be pretty easy. Here's some pics. I'm also editing the OP (original post) for better progress. Have a look! Please let me know any advice or suggestions of what you might want to see!!! Edit: Um i dont recall posting an image lol; sounds super strange but i dont think i did; removed the 3d model screenshots ;-; Edit 2: i don't know how this happened, but somehow i confused this thread for a different thread not related to this. That's probably why i removed the pics and i dont remember what i posted lol. sorry for a really confusing poost, ignore thx
Hey all, this is not a conventional update posting. DON'T FREAK OUT, LOT'S IS COMING YOUR WAY (no, the mod is not done yet) Anyway, just wanted to inform all of you that an update is coming this weekend. Why this weekend? Well since the last posting, lots has been done so I might as well finish what i was working on last time (still no to the mod being complete lol), but it's just a hint of the update, it's going to be significant. If you really can't wait, join my beamng discord server (link in signature) because I post the small updates there. Also it's fun. ANYWAY, hope today was a good day and i'm definitely making good progress. If you really must want a ETA of when the mod will be done, i think I can have a first release in the month of July, not too far. Depending on how things go for the next two weeks, it might be sooner but it's possible it will go until the end of July. It's coming soon enough!
Hi all, Slight bummer. I'm pushing off updating you guys til the middle of the week or something sooner. I have a lot of progress, but I want to reach my goal for this update post before I share. I stumbled on a bit of a difficulty, but I'll have this update post out by the middle of the week. Oh yeah, for first beta release to you the public, I'm planning on putting the basic trims (haven't decided on trim names): base option standard+extended cabs; mild option standard+extended cabs; the top option standard+extended cabs. I'm hoping to have this first public beta release around the end of July. In the following release updates overtime, I'll throw in an experimental double cab, dump truck, fruit truck, box/freezer truck; fruit truck, camper version (maybe), maybe a drift/race version, and a bunch of fun little accessories. I'm hoping to make this a very fun vehicle to customize. I've got connections/resources so I'm confident all of this is possible. Obviously for now the focus is the standard/extended cab. I'll be sure to update soon. Again, if you really want to see so far, my discord server is in my signature.
Yes, it will be in repo. It's based off a real vehicle with some differences and is a different name, so should be able to get into repo on first release.
Hi all, Much Promised Huge Update! Ok, I'll sum it up: the 3d model is done (almost ;-. Some explaining; the suspension is being a real pain in the ass to fit. It'll be a short adjustment, but it's killing me (i might have OCD) because it's not like the real vehicle. Anyway, I'll probably have that fixed up tomorrow. There's a few little things I need to touch up on, and it'll be on it's way to BeamNG and jbeaming it. Ok, WHAT NO PICS???? Fooled yus. I made a video, i think it'd be fun to make a little youtube channel lol. Nothing going to be like "regular postings" it's me and my life, that's all. That youtube channel is me in a nutshell lol. Subscribe if you can, it's free, but I could care less if you don't. (Welcome to my mindset, i really don't flatter people and I'm pretty direct). Vid: OK, if you have suggestions, you're more than welcome to tell me, let them all out! No guarantee they'll make it, but I NEED IDEAS. Also, join my discord server and put suggestions there too, it'll last longer for me since I can pin them too. I throw random roles out too lol. Really excited moving forward! Not sure when this'll be out, but it'll be out by the end of summer. At least a week before school generally starts so you can have fun, at least a GOOD working mod. I feel like there's quite a bit of empty space below the bed/cab, let me know if ya got any suggestions. Oh right, credits almost forgot ;-; Uh, Carlover416 again! Advice and door interior! Me [GabrielP04 if you forgot]; pretty much everything else Thx
Hey all, not an update. There's only been a little optimization/clean up work since last update, but just wanted to inform everyone that I had a scare right now with my files. As you might know, I work off a mid-2012 macbook pro of all things, yeah, I know. It's got decent specs but has the usual apple bullshit. Don't ask why I have this. Well, mainly wanted something portable but still reasonably powerhouse. Anyway, my current model file in Blender got corrupted after some shit (idk exactly; the laptop would tell me it was getting ejected improperly even though it was in a slot. It's been happening for months, but never had this happen). Don't worry, it was a really bad scare and thank God i had a week old file in my hard drive and opens. It's only missing a few little things like pedals and steering column, minus the parts renames/mirror applications and little works. So it's all fine now. This would've been cancelled if it was corrupted and gone, so thank my lucky ass. All is fine now, I'll start backing up important updates/files onto our family home pc as that's reliable even though it's slow af. Thanks for reading
Dont forget to backup to google drive / some cloud service preferably multiple, you never know if the family PC hard drive dies too suddenly esp. if it's slow af or really old and hard drive has never been replaced. Anyways I wish u luck on ur project.
Glad to know that you were able to recover the data, I guess this serves as a lesson to everyone to backup your files regularly (and also to never buy apple products) anyways, looking forward to seeing more progress, little kei trucc (that doesn't fall over all the time) would be fun in beamng
Hey all, it's been a while. My summer classes have really backed me up from an irresponsible teacher posting my homework late, also including lectures for homework in a class with "Homework will only be unfinished classwork". Appesh1 is currently doing a last final model sweep so there's no model errors, so I'm hoping next week I can begin the jbeam. Stay tuned!
