The thing --- Post updated --- Hey all. Lately I've been working on a mod. It will be my first ever, and I'd like to show it to you all for opinions and feedback. So as stated in the title, the mod is for the Gavril T-Series, and it is a car carrier body based upon the modern Cottrell ones used on the 389 Peterbilts. As you can see, the main body of the truck has already been mostly completed. I still have yet to begin working on the trailer to go with it. Now you may notice I am using the sleeper/cab, etc from the GTG T-series expansion. This mod will not come with any GTG parts.. I have reached out to GTG, and they have given me to go ahead to make my mod compatible with their parts, however none of the files or parts will be included. To be clear this is not a mod of a mod. Eventually, I am planning on making my own sleeper to use the original T-series cab, and make it fit with the rest of the rig better than the already existing GTG sleeper. The rear section of the top rack of the sleeper I am still stuck on what to do with. As of now, it folds underneath of itself, but presents a problem when you fit larger vehicles on the bottom rack. I would like to have it slide out, or probably better yet, have it slide out from the trailer. (this is to bridge the gap between trailer/truck) My main worry is that the edge will be too buggy and want to grab tires, but ill see if I can make something work there. The front overhang with the wheel catches is going to be able to slide in and out, as well as the front section able to pivot. Now here's the part nobody wants to hear Reality is, I work full time and believe it or not beam.ng modding isn't my main hobby. So I will need you to understand before getting your hopes up. A. this is my first ever mod. I have no idea what I am getting into in terms of adding parts, texturing, jbeaming, etc B. I am learning as I go so please be patient. C. This mod will take time. Months, and probably a year. There is a lot to it, for a beginner anyway. D. Please do not expect it to be perfect upon first release (whenever that is) Anyway, thanks for reading. I'm looking forward to getting this into the game and functioning, as I always have felt like we've been missing something like this. (yeah I know there's that one car trailer mod but we need the truck in its glory.) So yeah. Lmk any questions or feedback.
Honestly we have been needing this for a long time, and I hope the insecurity of BeamNG gives you a clear way and a warm welcome to jbeam-related modding. Modelling is the easy part if you already got them or know how to model, but the main problem is the complex system of jbeams and the pain to work with them. We will wait patiently though.
this is the thing i have been waiting and wanting ever since i started to play this game! (also, i agree with the @Bolt2407_Beamfan post above me).
Best of luck!! I to have also been waiting for something like this for a while and I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes
I've waited for mods to pop out for years so i do not mind waiting for this!! I'm glad to see another carrier pop out here as the only one available on the repo is broken for me.
Now this is an interesting mod! Hope it goes well! Cottrell is an icon in the Hauler scene and imagine if someone makes a Peterbilt 389 mod for BeamNG. Oh man, it will be a match made in heaven for this mod.
