Yes, I know. Tomorrow, if I have time, I will do a research of all engines, the car had and then, I will try to find similar ones in the game, like from the Vivace for example. But a totally different topic: I'm currently using a model from GTAinside. I fear of it being taken down during copyright. Does anyone know, if it is legitim, to use models from this site? If not, I found the model also on 3dmi.net and I think, there it is free for use, if you don't make money with it?! Idk, but I have surprisingly big plans for this mod and before I continue, I would like to have it save, if I can release it without any fears. It's important! --- Post updated --- I have horrible news! I won't be able, to release the mod. I know this may sound terrible, but it seems, if I release it, it would cause lots of copyright complainment... I have one hope, but I can't guarantee anything...
Oh dear. That’s not good. A solution would be to model something yourself, but that would be very time-consuming, and it’d need a lot of things remade. Hmm.
My last hope is relying on @DrunkDriver, because, he does also meshslaps. I already asked him per private conversation, about his knowledge. If this turns out bad, then this thing is cancelled. --- Post updated --- I need to get some sleep now. Maybe tomorrow, a wonder does happen.
This it, what the official guidelines say: II. Assets from other sources This is valid for mods containing any parts that belong to other titles or users. Assets from other sources with no credits Violates rule #2, thread will be taken down Assets from other sources with credits [2] Uploader takes all responsibility for what is being uploaded. Thread will be taken down if original copyright holder performs a copyright claim https://www.beamng.com/threads/mods-section-rules-updated-january-2023.61804/ I don't know, maybe this mod can be saved... I have two private conversations rolling at the moment. It will depend on their answers. Have a great time! Greetings, Schmitti PS: I WILL find a way! It can't just be, that everything of my and others hard work is now useless because of this. If necessary, I will create an account on Gtainside to contact the model author and ask for permission. Idk my brain is currently melting.
I hope it too! But I did lots of research and found more mods, which are using 3rd party models, also from Gtainside. So the chances are... ... pretty good. I hope everything will be decided today, so this thread can go back to wip and I can continue without any fears
I have bad news! I wouldn't be able to work on this until Monday. I hope this is okay... The good one: I will be able to release this mod on ko-fi.com! So I can continue without any fears! I'm really really happy!!!!! Have a wonderful time! See you on Monday! Schmitti
Yes Woohoo!!! I´m very glad, I can release it. The worst thing, which could happen is, that the thread is taken down, but if I look at some other, in my opinion more questionable mods on the forums, then I would say, that this mod has a good chance. Anyways, I made a decision, related to this mod and the beta testing. At first, I will add more customisation to this car, because I think, why not? This might take a while. (btw, do anybody want to see a scout version of this?) I also found good vrs bumpers and some facelift parts on GTAinside (the model is btw from 2010 and the publisher was the last time online 3 years ago) I also have some ideas in mind. Well, lets see, how everything turns out I don´t know, if I can manage it, to get an ko-fi account that soon. I have no online pay option, because until now, but I need one, I guess, if I want to upload stuff. To the beta testing: I will try to get everything, I want, until the end of next week. Here is all necessary info for the beta testing: I will choose four people, which are supporting me already for a while, be it only in liking my work or motivating me. I will open a private conversation for all testers a few days before next sunday and ask all, if they like to participate. If the answer is yes, I will put the file into the conversation, otherwise they need to leave. I will still try, to get a few thing done during the testing time, but only minor stuff, like cleaning some files. Also, the version for the beta testing will be reduced to a few configs, well everything, what I get done to this date. So don´t expect any WIP stuff. Maybe I will update the mod later. I thought, that the beta testing might take around one of two weeks, it depends on how many problems occur. I wish you all the best! Schmitti
I don’t think there’s a way to attach a file in a private conversation, unless you use a link to somewhere, like Google Drive or something
Well, I have an announcement to do. The mod is at a state, where I could theoretically release it. But it would feature only a handful of configs, very little customisation and would get a bit boring after driving it around a bit. So I sat down and made a list of all things, I would like to see on the Fabia and I got 24 of them, including various exterior customisation, all engines and transmissions, the car have in real life and much more. I think if I concentrate, then it should take one or two days, to implement the engines and transmissions, another three days for the customisation and then like one more, to test everything and fix bugs. The update introducing all this, would be the biggest one, since I started this mod! Only, to get it clear directly, the beta version won't have any, of this, because, when I start the testing, it won't be finished and I want to concentrate the testing, to test out the overall quality of everything, not the amount of customisation. ARRRRRRGGGHHHHG! And now let's get to the point, I hoped, I never would have to do it. It may sound a bit weird but on the one hand are those pictures and on the other hand is the mod, with, in my opinion, horrible damage. So I fear, that you maybe get disappointed in the mod. I will upload a few damage pics soon, so you know, what I mean. The car, again this is my opinion, is on a quality level, you see in the "showing off the worst meshslaps, bootleg mods and knock off games" thread or from authors like sheik. It may looks good, at the first glance, but if you dig deeper into it... I think you know what I mean. But therefore is the beta testing. To get your opinion to my mod. To get your honest feedback. I want you in the testing, to be as honest, as you can, because otherwise, the mod simply wouldn't get better. I know, that's a long message, I wrote, but if you read until here, I wish you all a good night, because I go now to bed. Have a nice time and see you on Monday, with some teaser screenshots... Schmitti
Rome wasn't built in a day; great things take time. I hope beta testing will help improve this fabulous mod!
So, you think, that I drop my czech caraway bread simply on the first page? So everyone have access to it and could give feedback directly in the thread? Idk, why I'm so brain dead sometimes... I mean, this idea not even came close to my mind... But another thing. Do you think, that would go well with copyright and everything? Also I thought that the release of Le baguette was kinda a demo release. A beta is in most cases closed, I think, but I might be wrong. Also, I thought, about releasing a demo, but in my opinion it would make no sense, because the whole thing will be free anyways... Idk, write you opinion on it in here You both would be in beta testing anyways
