A modded car exists for a different game, but I want it in BeamNG, is it possible to port it?

    The car I want is for a game called Spin Tires, which is very similar to BeamNG. At this point if I put it in my mods folder, the game recognizes it but doesn't go any farther, as you'd expect. It does however give me a small sliver of hope. Is there a way to port it myself, or would someone have to come along and remake it from scratch?

    Here's the link: https://www.worldofmods.com/spin-tires/cars/29355-jeep-fc-150.html

    I really love that truck and want to own one, one day. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    Well... I mean with enough sweat, blood, and tears, anything is possible. Porting this over is doable, but I can 100% guarantee you that you can't just take this mod from another game and just drop it into BeamNG and expect it to run. That just isn't going to happen. Mostly because the file structures are TOTALLY different, but also because the way Spin Tires handles physics and the way BeamNG handles physics couldn't be more different.

    It has been done before though... someone ported the big 8x8 into this game and it was pretty nice for a while (till an update broke it I think).

    To do this, this is what you will need to do.
    1. Import the model into Blender with all of its textures.
    2. Export it as a .dae so that BeamNG can understand it.
    3. Create a Jbeam for each part of the vehicle you want detachable (ie: bumpers, wheels, doors...)
    4. Make sure all Jbeams line up with their mesh counterparts correctly (good idea to use Blender or the BeamEditor)
    5. ???
    6. Profit
    All joking aside though, that is basically what you will need to do... along with getting the permission of the mesh usage from the mod creator.

    I'm a sucker for police cars
    Because I know like 50 who want a 300ZX
    A little truck that is basically a sedan with a bed
    Because who don't want a race car
    A old 70's Diesel German Coupe that can out live you
    A new German Coupe that can't out live a Mayfie
    A light little bubble car
    I like the paint job to be honest
    Kill two birds with one stone, add a modern muscle car and a derby ready car
    A classic pedo van would be nice in this game
    A more interesting semi and please if someone want to make this in the game, give it a V8

    I like wood ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)





    A small muscle car would be nice to have in the game
    There is something about 90's crew cab trucks just have, and I love it so much



    Because the Bluebuck might never come
    Wait a minute




























    Because who don't want a big fuck you nature nature truck.
