Help with tuning an old car

So, I have a 2012 E63 in the game right now. The car works perfectly fine, but the only problem is that it's from 2014. So, it doesn't have any of the updated engine features, or anything like that. I had a bit newer E class wagon, and was successfully able to fully replace the engine in it with a new one, but this one appears to be too far out of my reach to be able to do. So, what I want to do is figure out how to change the sound of this engine. It uses the old Gavril Grand Marshal engine and setup. I downloaded this mod for a gavril grand marshal v8 sound: https://www.beamng.com/resources/tuned-v8-engine-sound-for-grand-marshal.1979/

So, how can I apply that to my car? Thanks for any help.

 

So, as you saw, the mod that I downloaded is for the Grand Marshal. The mod did in fact replace the sound. But how can I make it replace the sound of my E63?

 

because of the introduction of the new sound system engine Beam is running off of now, FMOD, you would need to completely reformat the old engine jbeam file. That is also a pretty old mod, so it might not be usable.

 

Could I just paste in the new JBeam of the grand marshal? If not, how would I go about reformatting?

 

You mostly could, but the flexbodies and meshes would have to be reformatted.
There are a couple of other things that might need to basically have their names replaced with the ones used in the old E63. By names i mean what might say 'fullsize' (AKA grand marshal) might need to say 'E63' or whatever might go in that spot. I dont know if it actually is 'E63', but it might be.

 

If it isn't too much trouble, could you take a look at this: https://pastebin.com/bfvBw2g1 and tell me what is wrong with it?

 

Where it says fullsize, fullsize_exhaust, or things of that nature replace it with what is in those exact spots in the E63's jbeam
basically, where ever it says fullsize, or even mentions fullsize, replace it with what would go their in the E63's jbeam. I hope that makes sense.
Its a kinda hard topic to explain.

 

Well, the car actually uses the fullsize setup for everything. So, there's not a need to do so. I have successfully engine swapped, but there is one problem. The car won't spawn in game and my camera is just floating in the air. The problem is that I believe that I made an error with compiling all of the JBeams into one engine file. I put all of the fullsize Jbeams into the one engine file: Exhaust, Transmission, Engine, etc and I believe I messed up the brackets on it. Do you happen to see any problems here: https://pastebin.com/FK3JWtVp

 

This doesn’t happen to be a bootleg russian mod, does it? If so, it probably never worked well in the first place.

 

It's from WorldOfMods, so yes. It appears to work fine. I just know that I messed the JBeam up. Were you able to take a look at the pastebin that I sent of the JBeam?

 

No im not great with Jbeam

but from what ive read look for typographical errors

 

Okay, we're getting somewhere. I went ahead and redid everything, and all of the parts are in the car and working. So, it successfully transferred. The only problem is that the engine is disabled. What could I be missing on the transfer? It's full on gas.

 

Thats really weird... I have never had that happen

 

Well I fixed the disabled part. The engine is running. But the problem is, the dashboard is blank. There's no RPMs, cant turn it off, nothing. I can rev it up, but I can't switch gears either.

 

sounds like something's wrong with the transimssion Jbeam.

 

That's what I was thinking. I really don't know though. The transmission is in the car, as I checked the parts. Do you think it may be because I need the fullsize_body.jbeam?

 

maybe... if its done right, I dont think you do.

 

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Seems like I have all of the necessary parts:
fullsize_brakes.jbeam
fullsize_engine.jbeam
fullsize_fueltank.jbeam
fullsize_exhaust.jbeam
fullsize_radiator.jbeam
fullsize_transmission.jbeam

Don't really know what it could be.

I did an experiment with another car. When I took out the transmission, I was still able to see RPM's and everything. In my case, I don't think it's the transmission, I think it's something weird with the engine. It's acting like its not there for some reason. I added the engine debug app, and it was 0 RPMs, 0 everything, but I could still rev the engine up. I also confirmed that it's not a problem with the fuel tank. I took it out, and the engine quit. Very strange.

 

It looks just to b a badly formatted or just severely outdated jbeam. I think.

 

It can't be that because those are the ones that I directly copied from the Grand Marshal.
