I have placed blinking cursor next to that bracket on line 2 so you can see it glows red, this is handy feature of Notepad++ Line 1 has opening of jbeam file curly bracket, line 2 has name of part section "barstow_engine_v8_291": and also at end of line 2 there is curly bracket that opens up part section. You will have more fun if you installed Notepad++, if not yet, now is good time for that, links at top of post.Įach jbeam file will have brackets and commas, all very important, curly bracket defines begin and end of section. Next is fun part, we open barstow_engine.jbeam and start modding, IMPORTANT make sure you open correct file, not one that is in (original) folder, but one that is where you copied engine file in previous step as shown by this image: Now we must copy barstow_engine.jbeam to barstow folder we created at previous step as illustrated by next image, make sure you copy, default action is to move, so hold ctrl down when dragging or select copy and then choose folder and paste!: NOTE: We don't use capital letters now, it is good practice to avoid capital letters if original files and folders don't have capital letters so you maintain same logic and later it becomes more important when editing files. I made these folders (moddingtuts\stage 1\more power to Barstow \original)Įxtract official Barstow vehicle, you can find Barstow in following location (Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles\barstow.zip), notice how there are vehicles and barstow folders inside the zip file (archive), that is very important to remember later.ĭrag vehicles folder from inside of the Barstow.zip to folder named original and you should have something like this:Ĭreate new folders inside more power to barstow folder, first create vehicles folder, then inside of vehicles folder create folder named barstow. Let's start modding by creating a temporary location where we extract (Barstow.zip) So anything you drop into your (Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods) folder overrides what is in game folders.
It is not good idea to edit files in that location as it messes up with the game, instead it is better to make changes in a mod folder. Official vehicles are in zip files at (Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\content\vehicles), however hold your horses there! Optional: Torsion's tutorial to get most out of Notepad++
INTRO: This will be step by step walktrough of how to make a engine mod, it is for absolute beginners and shows how I do things, which might be different from how others do it, but should be something that helps you started.
