    trust me its difficult to pull off, I am in the process of doing this myself, and it is difficult, the only thing of mine that remains is the body, the running gear was custom made using the frame of the grand marshal, not to mention the extraordinary amount of time that it took just to get the mod in game, but good luck, lemme know if you need help via the conversations tab

    Why does it look like that tho? It looks like you ripped the model from a game that came out in 2005.

    What does this even mean? It reads more like a BeamNG RP post than an actual upcoming mod. And, it is clearly in the wrong category. It's an Automation mod I'm pretty sure.

    i was implying that if you read the entire forum post you would learn that they are planning on converting it into a full mod

    upload_2024-1-30_12-7-21.png Nowhere in this post is that ever implied, further, you need to have actual progress, such as the Blender model in-game and functional with some semblance of Jbeam to even consider making a thread for something like this. Finally, if it uses Automation assets and relies on the automation exporter, it belongs in the Automation category, regardless of future intentions.

    Standard operating procedure for something like this is to follow these steps:
    -Create appropriate thread in automation section with the vehicle release, clearly state intentions
    -Make progress towards proper vehicle conversion
    -When the custom model and Jbeam are in-game without reliance on the automation vehicle exporter, a separate thread may then be made in the mods section for it.

    Yeah no offence but if its your first time modding, you need to start with something smaller. Like a custom bodykit or even just play around with engine tuning. This is not the way to learn how to mod for BeamNG and i can say with actually 100% confidence that if you try this as your first modding attempt you will give up nearly instantly and will not have learnt a single thing pertaining to modding. Automation to Beam conversions are some of the most grueling and unrewarding methods of modding to the point where the creator of the Vertex has stated on multiple occasions that it would have been easier to have just made the Vertex from scratch than to convert it from Automation. Do not do this as your first attempt at modding because it will not go well. It sounds harsh but its true

    I read the entire forum post and it's literally never implied or directly stated that this will become a full standalone mod. And if you actually read how the original post is worded, nowhere at all is it even insinuated that this is a mod. It reads more like a BeamNG RP than anything else. There's literally no information stating progress or whether or not it's even a mod. It's literally just a picture of an automation car he built in 15 minutes with some nonsense about how it was in a bar fight or something random. Regardless, it's in the wrong category.

    Precisely. There is ZERO mention of progress, plans, release dates, expectations, nothing of the sort. Just random "lore" and two screenshots. If this guy is being serious about making this into a proper mod, it needs to be formatted as such. When I first stumbled upon this post I figured it was an RP post put into the wrong category. It's completely ass backwards.

    Also, what even is that lore? The assembly line burned down so they just stopped making cars? Huh? Gavril is basically Ford. Even in the 1970s Ford was absolutely massive and unstoppable. How on earth would a small assembly line fire stop a company (who at the time was selling 2.5+ million cars yearly) from continuing production of an obviously very popular model? That's just so weird and unbelievable and very out of character for any car manufacturer including Ford/Gavril. That'd be like Elon Musk shutting down the entirety of Tesla after a small battery fire in the parking lot of his Gigafactory. It's completely backward.

    lol... Did you research the brand name Valiant before you decided to use it?

    The vehicle in my profile photo is the Chrysler Valiant E49 Charger built between the years 1962 to 1972,

    The Valiant E49 Pacer and Charger held the record for 17 years straight in Australia for being the world's quickest accelerating 6 cylinder engine until GM/H released the Holden VL Turbo that was powered by the Nissan RB30 6 cylinder engine that needed forced induction to match the record.

    quickest is not the same as fastest, races are won by the quickest cars not the fastest cars.

    It was fast but it wasn't the fastest as a 6 cylinder can only got so fast, until it ran out of legs to be overtaken by the V8 towards the other end of the race track, It was famous for being very quick, A lot quicker then it was fast, It was hard to find an engine that could match the HEMI'S acceleration OOOMPH, Like Ford Australia held records for making the world's fastest 4 door production car (Mercedes-Benz tried to claim that title only because no one at Mercedes-Benz had heard of any records being created by Ford.) Ford Falcon GTHO Phase 3 that reached 320km/h down Conrod Straight back in the 1970's, I think the German's said something like Oh Fu*k OFF, I doubt it, lol.. * Edit: My post is missing some info, Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase 3 351c.i V8 = Worlds fastest 4 door production car * Still claimed by Mercedes-Benz for setting the record for worlds fastest 4 door production car * Mercedes-benz won't recognise a Ford lol

    Don’t give up, the mod is still able to be great, it just requires more time and patience

    Thank you. And do you know how to actually port the mod file onto here? E.G So anyone can actually download the mod?
