Supercharger question

Is there a way to tone down the power in the super chargers? i want to use the stage two one as a more cosmetic look, over power. Can I switch it down to around 500 or 600hp?

 

Tunable superchargers would be a problem, since they're driven directly by the crankshaft. There's the possibility to use some kind of swappable gearing for it of course, but I don't see a way to change it in the game other than duplicating the part and changing the torque curve in the .jbeam file.

 

Yes, for purely cosmetic purposes simply remove the functional parts of the jbeam. Something like the code block below. In order to achieve something which is partly functional I recommend that you extract pickup.zip from your game installation and take a look at the contents of pickup_engine_v8.jbeam which contains all of the superchargers. Note the differences and use that to create a new one accordingly. You may also use the attached zip (which works in the /mods/ directory) for reference - it contains the cosmetic version shown in the code block.

Code:

"torsion_cosmetic_pickup_supercharger_v8_stage2": {
    "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG/torsion",
        "name":"Stage 2 Supercharger - Cosmetic",
        "value":1600,
    }
    "slotType" : "pickup_intake_v8",
    "flexbodies": [
         ["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
         ["pickup_supercharger", ["pickup_engine", "pickup_framecab"], [], {"pos":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, "rot":{"x":0, "y":0, "z":0}, "scale":{"x":1, "y":1, "z":1}}],
    ],
}
