    Im trying my first jbeam and everything was going well, then suddenly I kept getting this error:

    I checked the line and this is what is there:
    Code:
    Code:
    "beams": [
              ["id1:", "id2:"],
              {"beamPrecompression":1, "beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1.0, "beamShortBound":1.0},
              //--trunk--
              {"beamSpring":1201000,"beamDamp":1700},
              {"beamDeform":101500,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"},
              //trunk main shape
    ["nl76","nl78"],
    ["nl3","nl6"],
    ["nl78","nl6"],
    ["nl44","nl6"],

    All the nodes mentioned are there:
    Code:
    Code:
    ["nl76",1.169,2.333,1.044],
    ["nl78",0.869,2.333,1.281],
    ["nl3",1.169,2.029,1.044],
    ["nl6",0.869,2.029,1.281],
    ["nl44",0.845,2.181,1.334],

    so I cant find out what the problem is. I bet it is a little error. but eh its my first jbeam.

    I notice that your json directory has two \\ in it. Maybe that helps?

    You didn't close the beams section with a ], so the parser panicked and broke the world in half.

    Just add ], to a new line and problem solved!

    sorry for not replying, I was on vacation.
    Im new to jbeam so im confused on what you mean, you mean this?:

    Code:
    		 {"selfCollision":true}
    		 
    	], <------
    
    Mind giving a example, like I said, this is my first jbeam XD

    Sure. The structure of jbeam (or any other language, really) is quite simple in that if you open a bracket "[", curly brace "{" or quotation mark """, you have to close it. Take your beams section for example:
    Code:
    "beams": [B][COLOR=red][[/COLOR][/B]
              ["id1:", "id2:"],
              {"beamPrecompression":1, "beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1.0, "beamShortBound":1.0},
              //--trunk--
              {"beamSpring":1201000,"beamDamp":1700},
              {"beamDeform":101500,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"},
              //trunk main shape
    [COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR]"nl76","nl78"[B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B],
    [COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR]"nl3","nl6"[B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#777777],[/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]
    [/COLOR][COLOR=#777777][COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]"nl78","nl6"[/COLOR][B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#777777],[/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]
    [/COLOR][COLOR=#777777][COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]"nl44","nl6"[/COLOR][B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#777777],[/COLOR]
    See how you've left the bracket in line 1 open? You need to close it at the end of the beams section so it makes sense to the parser, like so:

    Code:
    "beams": [COLOR=red][[/COLOR]
              ["id1:", "id2:"],
              {"beamPrecompression":1, "beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1.0, "beamShortBound":1.0},
              //--trunk--
              {"beamSpring":1201000,"beamDamp":1700},
              {"beamDeform":101500,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"},
              //trunk main shape
    [COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR]"nl76","nl78"[B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B],
    [COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR]"nl3","nl6"[B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#777777],[/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]
    [/COLOR][COLOR=#777777][COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]"nl78","nl6"[/COLOR][B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#777777],[/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]
    [/COLOR][COLOR=#777777][COLOR=green][B][[/B][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#777777]"nl44","nl6"[/COLOR][B][COLOR=green]][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#777777],
    [/COLOR][COLOR=red][B]],[/B][/COLOR]
    Hope this helps to solve your problem!

    I think you may have an encoding problem. My (unfinished) JBeam tool loaded it just fine:

    What are you using to edit the file? As I said, it sounds like an encoding issue. Try using Notepad++ and make sure the encoding is set to "UTF-8 Without BOM".

    I use notepad++ for everything. I will check the encoding when I wake up, it's 11pm currently :p

    Can you upload the .jbeam file? Instead of pasting it into a code block.

    You have a very bizarre problem, my friend. It worked for me:


    (imported from here)

    By the way, you did add it to the slots in 'moonhawk.jbeam', correct? Like this:

    Code:
    {
    "moonhawk": {    
        "information":{
            "authors":"gabester",
            "name":"Bruckell Moonhawk",
        }
        "slotType" : "main",
        "slots": [
            ["type", "default", "description"]
            ["moonhawk_body","moonhawk_body", "Bruckell Moonhawk Body"],
            ["moonhawk_bumper_F","moonhawk_bumper_F", "Bruckell Moonhawk Front Bumper"],
            ["moonhawk_bumper_R","moonhawk_bumper_R", "Bruckell Moonhawk Rear Bumper"],
            //engine
            ["moonhawk_fueltank","moonhawk_fueltank", "Bruckell Moonhawk Fuel Tank"],
            ["moonhawk_innerfender_FR","moonhawk_innerfender_FR", "Bruckell Moonhawk Right Inner Fender"],
            ["moonhawk_innerfender_FL","moonhawk_innerfender_FL", "Bruckell Moonhawk Left Inner Fender"],
            ["moonhawk_radsupport","moonhawk_radsupport", "Bruckell Moonhawk Radiator Support"],
            ["moonhawk_engine","moonhawk_engine_v8", "Bruckell Moonhawk Engine"],
            //running gear
            ["moonhawk_suspension_R","moonhawk_suspension_R", "Bruckell Moonhawk Rear Suspension"],
            ["moonhawk_suspension_F","moonhawk_suspension_F", "Bruckell Moonhawk Front Suspension"],
            
            // add spoiler here
            ["bruckwell_wing","bruckwell_wing", "Bruckell Moonhawk Spoiler"],
        ],
    // rest of file
    
    You should try to force update your game. I think something's gone haywire with yours!:p
