Hey, all! I would like to know how I would go about adding transmissions from the Realistic Rangeboxes Mod to the Engines added in the T-Series Expansion Pack mod. My experience with the computers is pretty shameful but I am capable of some basic file explorer fiddling. I tried just dragging the jbeam file from the Rangeboxes mod into the Engines and Transmissions folder in the Expansion pack mod but it didnt do anything. Thank you for any help, Isaac https://www.beamng.com/resources/t-series-realistic-ranged-gearboxes.7220/ https://www.beamng.com/resources/gavril-t-series-expansion-pack.636/
You can't just drag it in. Here's what you need to do: Somewhere at the beginning of the jbeam file(By the way, I use Notepad++ to edit it) find Code: "slotType" : "----" (There won't be dashes when you find it.) Type in that space with this format: vehicle_transmission For example, If I wanted to add a 4 speed manual to the barstow, I would type: barstow_transmission. Keep in mind that not all vehicles folders are the same name as they are in game. For example, the covet is called "hatch" in the game files. This should work.
What we recommend doing is to make a copy of the realistic ranged gearboxes mod and adjust the semi_transmission_real.jbeam. Firstly, rename the jbeam so it doesn't overwrite the original jbeam in the original mod. Then, open the jbeam file and add a little bit of code. This "semi_transmission_10M_rangebox": { this "semi_transmission_10M_rangebox_TSX": { for example. After doing that to each part, you simply add _TSX to "slotType" : "semi_transmission", so it becomes "slotType" : "semi_transmission_TSX",. Do the same for all parts except the rangeboxes. Remove the rangeboxes at the bottom of the file (or else it'll duplicate those and cause issues). Anyway, upon your luck, I noticed this thread and decided to make a quick conversion just for you. Check your PM's in the next 5 mins.
