Maluch JBeam rebuild

Every shifter moves now! RHD shifters moving in the opposite direction available too!

They follow the unnecesarilly complicated Maluch shift pattern, what the heck is that lol. Only the reverse moves less complex because it's not possible to make such an animation in game yet.

Next up I have to make openable doors and stuff, that will be harder.

 

I made the doors openable, that was a lot of effort and I fixed some bugs that I somehow didn't notice before. Funny how it has that option to spawn with damage and if you pre-damage the doors enough, they won't close again after opening lol.

Actually I checked that this car indeed has the same shift pattern for LHD and RHD. Saw it on DankPods video lol. So removed the RHD ones now.

 

It's the thing that randomizes the carburetor tuning. You can get less power, or more power at the cost of engine reliability. In the 70s there really was a large diversity between the engines that were supposed to be the same, because the factory didn't know how to or didn't bother to tune carburetors properly.
There's also Arabic bootleg ECU which makes the car explode instantly lol
If you want the car to crumble when hitting anything, use the Bootleg Cabrio config, it doesn't have the chassis stiffening that the normal Cabrio has from factory, and it's also very rusty which makes it weaker. (It's realistically weak, not like the configs in my first mod that just break from normal driving)

 

I thought about it but maybe they would be too small for controller users then since these door handles are already smaller than the Covet ones

 

Everything is openable like in the Covet, there are door detents too and somehow on this car they seem more functional.

This took a lot of effort, there were lots of bugs I had no idea existed, I had to redo a lot of the decklid Jbeam for example because it was hilariously badly made and rushed. It will maybe deform better now. Also with the huge amount of options this mod has like different panel materials I can't guarantee that everything will work perfectly. I will probably have to redo the entire Jbeam for version 2.0 but that's still far in the future.

BeamBox loads added to FL roof box

And also under the hood, they barely fit lol


So now I only have to make the simplified traffic versions of the car, and wait for Xupaun to test something for me and for Matt84 to finish the colors.

 

Well that's some useful info, do you know if they are limited by geometry or by the door detents? For now I made the detents limit the angle

I would have thought that on such a small car they would open fully

 

Can you show more stuff from that book? I couldn't find it online and it would be super useful to have it, best if you could make photos of the whole thing and upload somewhere. And yeah that is EXTREMELY narrow and looks like a geometry restriction so I have to edit some more of the Jbeam

 

It's ok if it takes time, I have to wait for others anyway, this is how progress goes on this mod these days lol
