how to modify the bus display?

Hey i was wondering the if there is a way to change the bus( wentward dt40l) display (not in servive) to anything you want ingame without the need to modify any game files. If not is there an app mod or somethig like that in can install?



Thank you,

 

Hi and welcome to the forums
Copy the zip called 'citybus' into a folder of your choice (a safe place away from the games content) and unpack it there.
Find a file called citybus_signs.jbeam and open it with text editor. Somewhere around line 27 you will find this :

"destText":"your text here"

I already removed the original naming between the your-text-here-quotes because I pulled the example from my modded file.
Change your-text-here into whatever you like. Go to your user folder of the game (standard = Documents/BeamNG.drive) goto
/vehicles folder, create a folder called 'citybus' and now put that citybus_signs.jbeam (that you changed) into the folder.
Boom voila you're done. Remember to back your /vehicles folder up if you don't want to loose its content because if you
clear cache it WILL be gone.


edit Now you came this far you can set it up as it should be : create a folder called 'vehicles', then
put the folder 'citybus' that you placed in the user folder in there. Pack it into a zip and name it as you
wish (just not a name that already exists) and put it in the mods folder. Now you have a mod !
Now keep the citybus/citybus_signs.jbeam out of the Documents/BeamNG.drive/vehicles folder
since this location overrides all other locations of the file citybus_signs.jbeam .

edit edit I don't know if there is mod out there that does this

 

An easier way is when you have the game running, hit the [`] key, and type in:

controller.onGameplayEvent("bus_onRouteChange", {direction="direction", routeID="42"})

Make sure that the setting on the left is set to "BeamNG LUA" or something.

 

But then it won't be saved ? It's very cool anyway

 

thanks for help both method works i like the first one because it is easier to remember howw to modify the display. I also like the second method because it is faster to do it. Anyway both methods helped.

 

Nice you got it working
