I have been unable to get this to load in the new version. I know this is old, but it was one of my favorite vehicles. I put it in the mods folder as usual and it doesn't show up as a choice. I know this is an old version of the vehicle, so I'm hoping there's a different way to install it or somewhere else to put it.
Its completely broken. It will need a total overhaul to make it compatible with the most recent version. It seems like its spawning as a D15 with different wheels. So this mod is confirmed dead.
I may take on the upgrade, but no guarantees. Although I have a hard time modeling cars I may be able to figure out whats wrong with this and correct the issues in the JBeam and the .DAE file(s) and get it working.
I suppose this may be a bit off topic, but is there a way to only search for vehicles that are compatible with the new upgrade, that way I don't have to bump up old stuff?
Umm, not that I know of. really stick to the mods page for now, and avoid all default vehicle mods. Really that should work. I think the issues may be down to that its calling upon stock names rather than unique names.
Ok, thanks man. Sorry for the ignorant questions. I very rarely get to play the game, only a couple times every few months or so, and it usually takes me so much time to figure out what's changed in that time that I rarely get to actually play it...haha.
I think I can confirm its the fact that the vehicles are calling upon the name of pickup instead of a unique name. Its something to do with the new update I think. So now I am gonna have to try and rename everything in the car to be unique. This will take awhile since I will need to make sure I am renaming the correct parts, but once its done it should work. Working on such a dated mod isn't easy.
Progress on updating to most recent version; (Screenshot taken in V.5.0.0) Better than nothing Now just got to fix the side textures and do some upgrades to the JBeam to make it more modern. It was the names of the files, textures, and parts in the .DAE that were breaking the mod. So I was right Should be done by sometime tomorrow if I do it right. Then I will upload the fix here as an attachment, as long as nothing gets in the way of me doing so. Its a great mod. Wasn't my favorite due to the quality, but its a nice looking mod.
Little time to post screenshots, I fixed the side textures... Accidentally deleted the files for them My goals are now to upgrade the tires to PressureWheels. That will be tomorrow. Update; Rear wheels upgraded. More issues found; Parking brake is non-existent, meaning I will need to add that/edit what exists. Also tail lights are non-existent, meaning I will need to add those to the vehicle aswell. Should be sweet when done! UPDATE; I am working on a new PC, so I will upload what I have to my google drive and share it with you guys. For now the vehicle works in .5.0.0 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7go4vEfeOODZGQ1UGM0ekRJeHM/view?usp=sharing If this link doesn't work message me and I will send an alternative link.
Man, thanks for this!!! That's awesome. Even despite it's previous quality issues I loved it, with your upgrades I can only imagine it'll be even better!
Will the new update be the same as the old, so just download and replace, or will it have a new name?
Help i can't get the mod to work... i want it but it wont work --- Post updated --- Can you help me i cant get the mod to work
The original modder that you just quoted hasn't been online for some months now. This mod is old and broken. You can check the version in this post: http://www.beamng.com/threads/the-jdm-touch.31473/ and see if that one works. I doubt it will work since that version was made in version 0.5.0 of the game. If a mod was made a long time ago and doesn't spawn correctly then it's usually because it is outdated and broken.
