0.8 Configuration Conversion Guide

0.8 Configuration Conversion Guide

From BeamNG

If you created a configuration mod for certain official vehicles before version 0.8, you may find some of them have missing transfercases or driveshafts. This is because we had to change the layout of the components to suit the new Powertrain system. The following vehicles may be affected:

  • D-Series
  • ETK800 (transfer case, incorrect fuel tank with diesels)
  • ETK-K (transfer case, incorrect fuel tank with diesels)
  • ETKI
  • H-Series
  • Pessima (early)
  • Pigeon (Incorrect fuel tank with 600 engine)
  • Roamer
  • SBR4
  • Semi
  • Sunburst

The simplest way to solve this problem is to load your configuration, add the correct parts back in the parts menu, and overwrite the configuration. If you have a lot of configurations, this might be too time consuming, so instead you can use a text editor on your .pc files. Scroll down to the relevant vehicle and check out which lines to add to a .pc

Procedure

1) If there is an item in the table, add a line composed of "Slot to Add" : "Slot Option", to your .pc file. "Slot to Add" is the slot name in the table. "Slot Option" is one of the options in the table. Check out the notes, some options are only useful in certain situations.


Example from D-Series: If you want an awd transfer case, add this line:

"pickup_transfer_case":"pickup_transfer_case_AWD",

D-Series

Slots to Add Slot Options Notes
"pickup_transfer_case" "pickup_transfer_case_4WD", "pickup_transfercase_AWD", "pickup_transfercase_RWD"
"pickup_driveshaft_F" "pickup_driveshaft_F" Add this if config uses independent front suspension
"pickup_driveshaft_SFA" "pickup_driveshaft_SFA" Add this if config uses solid axle front suspension
