Hello everyone I want to know how to add a new mirror system to my mod? I found a new section in jbeam called "Mirrors", entered it into my mod, but the mirrors did not appear, what am I doing wrong? I also found a new menu in f11 called Mirror debug. (I use a translator)
Hey, Your best bet is to locate one of the mirror files from the new T-series, so lets say us_sem_cabover_mirror.jbeam as you've found out theres the "mirrors" section It is what defines your mirror As you see first part is the mesh name, this would be the name of your mirror model then you have relative ref nodes that are set up same way as props are https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/props/ Next you have translation and rotation parameters which you can copy paste from the debug menu that you've found already. Main thing to note is that your mirror surface NEEDS TO use Code: mirror material any other material will not work for mirror surfaces
Faced with the problem that the mirrors go down during sharp turns, what could be wrong? (I use a translator)
hi everyone, what should i do to fit reflective surface into a mesh? now i have this and also, why does car in a mirror is chrome?
Detailed Mirrors Mini-Tutorial Here is a quick tutorial on how to add the detailed mirrors to any car. In this example for the City Bus. Add the following section to the JBeam file of your part and change the values accordingly. The first parameter is the name of the mirror mesh, followed by reference nodes similar to props. The material of the mirror surface needs to be named mirror and for the reference nodes, just use some of the nodes of your part. Code: "mirrors": [ ["mesh", "idRef:", "id1:", "id2:"], ["citybus_mirror_L","mi3l","mi4l","mi2l",{"refBaseTranslation":{"x":0.12,"y":0.05,"z":0.15},"baseRotationGlobal":{"x":-3.8,"y":0,"z":-10.8},"offsetRotationGlobal":{"x":0,"y":0,"z":-8.5}}], ], To get the rest of the values, use the Mirror Debug Tool in the World Editor: Press F11 to open the World Editor and open the Vehicle Editor in menu Window > Experimental. Switch to the Live Editor at the top and open Mirror Debug in menu Apps. You can close the World Editor with F11 now, the Mirror Debug window will stay open. 1. Use the X Pos, Y Pos and Z Pos values to position the gizmo on the surface of the mirror. 2. Use the X nrm, Y nrm and Z nrm values to align the red and blue axis of the gizmo with the surface of the mirror 3. Use the X Nrm offset, Y Nrm offset and Z Nrm offset values to adjust the viewing angle of the mirror. Update the values in the previously added JBeam section of your part: Copy the X Pos, Y Pos and Z Pos values in to refBaseTranslation and enter the already calculated values for baseRotationGlobal and offsetRotationGlobal from the Mirror Debug window. If someone is interested, the attached mod adds detailed mirrors to the City Bus and Autobello Stambecco
