fixing my most HATED mod

so I was just perusing the internet as one does sometimes and I came across this beauty oh my God this is meant to be like as they say like a ml63 AMG Mercedes which is like an SUV thing it is a b Jesus Christ but then I thought you know what I myself have made a fair amount of garbage in my time and the one that seems to come up a lot is this hybrid mod I remember when making that that was a particularly tricky mod to make work and it has bugged me ever since but it's actually picked up a lot of popularity recently with people going oh you need to update it it's broken it's not broken doesn't need to be updated it's just really bad to use now if you don't know automation it's the sort of game where you can just go around and make basically any sort of car you want but the one thing you can do is change all the engineering like the tires the type of transmission you got there's lots of graphs you can look at you can pick from like a plethora of bodies that you can use but when it comes to the engine it's a little bit peculiar because the only things you can pick from are petrol based fuels I mean there's methanol nitromethane Leed UNL ethanol all that sort of stuff but there's no diesels there's no electric at least native in the game and then there's also definitely no hybrid in the game I mean the game is set to 2012 is like the default age that's kind of like the median point from where everything is based off of and in 2012 we had hybrids and we had electrics diesels were so ubiquitous they actually finally started to drop out of fashion because we started to realized that there was different types of greenhouse gases that cars can make and diesels didn't really fit into that now yes it is true that you can export a car with electric settings to have an electric motor put in it's not a perfect setup but I mean it kind of works so what I want to do is make a hybrid mod and make it not garbage this time so people can easily put it in and here's that same car that I made in automation very simply and very easily exported to BMG it's a little commuter thing just a little bit of fun you know it's I I spent a lot of time fiddling in automation I absolutely love it this is also just a simple automatic all-wheel drive setup and because it's all-wheel drive we're going to have a differential in the front and a differential in the rear and this is where I like started causing problems I had it set up so then I think you had to have like all-wheel drive I mean it was so bad that I tried to look at it probably 2 months ago and I went I don't know how I made this work like I I did make it work but it was so bad to use but it turns out I didn't need to do this so let me bring out a rear wheel drive automation car here's an absolute wild stupid thing that I made is just I kind of fixed your bombed it just for the hell of it I wanted to make something berserk and in here in the rear suspension you'll see it's got a rear differential but if we go to the front there's no differential slot now that got me thinking does that mean that automation cars that are only rear wheel drive don't have the front-wheel drive slot well that's actually not entirely the whole story if there is a slot but there is no accompanying part for it to go to it just won't show the slot so let's dig in here's the mod and let's go into the suspension for the front that's the mesh whoops there we go there's the suspension and if we have a look right here as expected okay so to make modding a little bit easier I think they have like the default slot when exporting from Automation and then they only have to worry about whether the part actually exists or not and then that'll make the slot show up in the part selector but because of the way in which they've done that we can rcon it and do whatever we need to do but because I also know a lot more about coding now I can also do different types of hybrid but what we're going to be generally doing is the easiest and most supported way of doing a hybrid system one set of wheels is driven or that one doesn't really matter and then the opposite one will be the one that is the electric motor so cam so hybrid V2 and instead of making this like uh a thing which you used to have to drag and then drop into a car I think is how I used to have that set up it was a really terrible idea I could just make a common folder so then every time somebody has an automation car the pass will just be there available so common and now everything will be available to every car but specifically we're going to have automation parts and to start with we have a differential and now we just start fiddling and fiddling I don't think we're going to have a welded different electric motor I'm not sure about a race motor half shafts we can keep and drive shaft o we don't particularly need but we'll revisit that later what we're also going to do is rcon a bit of their electric motor code so we got like an electric motor controller if we have a look in here is there anything we need no we just need some of these slots though in fact actually I don't think we need any of this I think all I really need is because this is the rear suspension version uh engine structure no we want the electric motor front and the speed limiter and what is in these electric motor files we have oh okay a very specific name that helps because it can't be the same as the normal one and then we have some vehicle controller stuff I think this actually might be a lot easier than what I thought the only final suffering point is the fact that I'm going to need a battery so here's the problem with that if we have a look under the part selector we got fuel tank but in there you can also have the battery and you can't have two things having the same slot name it just doesn't work like that I can't have the fuel tank and the battery so I'm going to need to make a custom battery unfortunately I can't just use whatever so we're going to have to make a copy of this and we can put that in here at the end change the slot type which is the important one and I think that's all we need here so let me put that into a new slot right there and right nope hold on right there now I realize that I've done this the wrong way around because this is for a front-wheel drive car do I even have a front-wheel drive car already at the moment I don't think I do wait no hold on there's this one some of you may recognize this vehicle where I talked about common files and folders recently as well let's reload the game case thingy and now with a petrol in the front in the rear damn it you know what actually this is an old mod let's uh go rework to a front drive make a duplicate and then change everything rear to front we can put the part in we got the Hybrid battery but it's not actually oh and the battery is not even going in and it's also not showing the front motor H some funkiness is going on I think I just realized I don't need half shafts and I don't need drive shaft I think I can actually get rid of the drive shaft all together okay let's put the differential back in it is recognized but still only the battery and can we put the battery in no oh I see now because it's only rear whe Drive there's only a rear motor not a front motor oh um how do I go about this we got like a power train line here got a bunch of things to take into consideration but I don't think it particularly matters what sort of murder it goes to except this line right here so I could get people to export his all-wheel drive again then intercept the transfer case that's something I could do easily what does a transfer case look like it takes in the drive shaft and sends oh that's easy but now I'm back into the whole thing of adding in a whole bunch of extra steps that'll confuse people it needs to be super simple for people to use I don't want to just stick in my own electric motor cuz that may not fit the needs of other people but I think I'm going to have to so let's grab the electric motor and then hold on I remember now we actually have a bunch of variables we're going to need start by grabbing all of them and plopping them in and we don't need engine offsets don't need exhaust torque split is the one we're going to one and I think we can leave the regen as well this does make my life a little bit more complicated because we're going to have to finagle a lot of things to make this work for instance this is called torque split instead we're going to call this a torque multiplier it'll make sense in a bit that should be about right it is going to get a little bit confusing with the torque multiply whatever let's now go over to the hybrid motor and this is where the torque split comes in as you can see here it multiplies it and what the general idea is that uh with this power graph that you're seeing here or actually torque graph cuz this is is RPM versus torque it multiplies and then uh shifts the maths around so like it'll take away from one side and add to the other you get the idea but we're just using this in general to give more or less make sense good now let's make a copy of this for the front now quick little refresh is that going to break anything okay things are not broken have a look at our front differential good battery empty come on Hybrid battery you can do it damn it we'll look into that in a second speed limit none but the electric motor is in it's just for the moment we can't get power to it let's have a look at the powertrain visualizer how's that looking now we do have power going all the way to the rear the what is happening here it's revving but it says it has no battery fuel tank race car gasoline yeah no that's correct I am so confused as to why it's not working going into here going into the transmission okay the CL is not working okay so BNG doesn't like to control more than one gearbox at a time and I think that's where this is starting to fail how do I how do I go about this I wonder I think I can just delete these two so say goodbye to that uh oh okay well that's worked quite easily aha experience wins out again over any sort of logic let's lift that up okay we're not actually getting any electric Drive however oh I've done something the battery is working I don't actually know what it is that I did but it seems to be working okay let's double check this nope okay it says that it works but there is actually no RPM getting to the wheels because that says that the half shafts are spinning at 9,000 RPM that's that's a wrong in why are my half shafts not working ah okay I didn't put the right things in there okay good and front half shafts in they go oh good they're working as you can see it's got a little bit wonky but let's lift this up and yes okay basically one part and in it goes so let's drop you down and oh that feels a lot faster with just that little bit of hybrid in there I'm guessing it's not giving us too much power however maybe it's the torque ratio final drive okay this is where we're getting into a problem because I don't think I have actually a front final Drive Mount as you can see yeah there's nothing set freak does this have like a f okay good there's a final drive is this race perfect we're going to need to grab some things from here and this is going to require tuning each time to make it work the way you want it to first part will go into here and then we're going to grab rear diff and that's going to go in here as well now it has a tunable final drive the default is a bit long wait do we want no no this will give us a lot of good power ratio at the moment little bit of traction control happening there we could do a bit of calculation with RPM the input is 261 and the output is 384 making the drive ratio about a 1.5 approximately that'll be suffocating a lot of the power now let's refresh the car and then drive did I do this wrong yep I put that in for the rear differential I haven't done it for the front yet getting ahead of myself woo all right let's put the same things in here except change that to F please work the way I want you to uh no that seems to be about the same still damn it 500 to 600 yep now that's still the same this is turning out to be a little bit more complicated than what I was hoping at first but we are slowly but surely getting there oh you know what I just realized what I did I didn't change this to front oh oh that is much different already so let's get it up to speed and that gives us a differ ratio of 3.4 oh well close enough we now have ourselves our hybrid system hell yeah okay well this thing is jiggling a lot Jesus additional modification rigidification if you don't know about my rigidification mod I have a video on making like my cars much more rigid out of automation it's a bit of a hack but it does a very good job hell yeah bro epic as bro look at all of that hybrid like pulling me forward oh I love it let's quickly take the engine out for a second that was a mistake cuz now it doesn't drive let's take out the rear differential and just have a front wheeel drive hybrid with this yep that's a hell of a lot slower that dear frasure that we have is oh just insane now let's make sure that the front wheeel drive can get a rear wheel drive set up nope okay this is an old mod let's actually double check this suspension rear for this thing slots does not come default with the other differential slot okay okay this can only work with recent exports well that's a shame wait I just remembered these things a front wheeel drive let's go check that out perfect rear suspension rear differential that is a mess what the hell I'm seeing the electric motor there go to here and then to here I wish I could like click and drag things around devs please B devs I need this we got everything we got the battery half shafts in there no speed limiter perfect let's lift the rear up and drive perfect let's change that final drive ratio lift it up again and that does seem to be working appropriately perfect everybody you can stop complaining the perfect hybrid mod except I got a few things I want to change now namely this needs to change I think we're just going to set this to a very simple 500 wait I wonder I think we can also change the RPM area parameters as well since these are both unquoted sort of sections I think we can put quotation matths in here as well and since everything seems fairly standard I think we only need three RPMs stick with me if we change this to 100 delete everything to about 1,000 and and then delete everything to here and we'll call this 1,00 grab this kind of math that we got here plop you in there grab this and plop it in there except this is going to be actually you know no hold on plop it in there this is going to be RPM multiplier okay let's grab the multiplier thing go to the differental section and then which one's the okay here's the torque torque one and then I realize that this needs to be a torque Mt Max and this needs to be a multiply so step distance will probably be H if we're going up in increments of one does that work hold on there's a lot to do here if we've got a different torque multiplier now it's timesing our 100 new m i 10 * 100 would be 1,000 newon M which is a lot okay so that can go up to 10 default is going to be 1 the maximum rpm uh is set to 1,000 RPM let's say we can go up to 20,000 RPM so we'll times that by 20 then duplicate this and put Max in there and step distance one good okay let's refresh this God I I wish I could just take out the front motor right now but for some reason when I take the front motor out it just bugs everything out this has become rather tricky so I tried to figure out a way in which I could show you what p power you're outputting but it just doesn't work that way currently it'll only ever show like the petrol motor I think first so I can't get a wait okay that's something that never existed before holy thank you devs for putting that in that's amazing that means that there's a very good possibility that the BMG devs are looking into putting in dual motor controlling this is amazing uh but what's not amazing is what I've done here basically what I ended up doing is making the torque thing be just the amount of torque we're making and then we got the RPM multipliers in here being exactly the thing it'll make sense in a second give me give me a minute under hybrid here we got the just the amount of power that the thing will make and then we got the RPM limit I just realized where my mistake is but anyway we got the RPM that'll go up to and then the amount of like overrun we got what I did wrong is this is meant to just be zero oh you know what 10 now if we refresh then go up to here to set it back to the rear motor we can see that it starts to drop off but we don't have like a massive amount of like overrun sort of things so let's put that up to a much higher okay well that's going to reset every single time and there we can see so the amount of power we've set this to is 1,000 Newton M of I should say torque then we've got the RPM set to 10,000 RPM so goes all the way up to 10,000 and then it starts to drop drop off this you'd want to have like really high maybe potentially oh God damn it all right every single time uh that is looking a little bit more hybrid like now if only I had like a battery thing because this only shows I think like the petrol not the battery amount as we uh wind out this video I just kind of wanted to show that this thing is so much faster than what was meant to be I've almost effectively doubled the horsepower of this vehicle so it it Cooks its brakes so incredibly quickly it's meant to be like some sort of time attack car sort of thing but uh it like maxes out its RPM so easily and then the brakes cook itself when it's done maxing at its speed it's it's very wild I just wanted to show how much bigger this hybrid is also keep in mind that uh the effective brake torque sort of thing the regen stuff that the hybrid motor does will change your brake bias to whichever uh side has the stuff on it so this one is a little bit more under steer kind of but I I just suck at driving so it over steers a lot and you're about to see that this thing is just going to max out its top speed it's pretty wild ah I I I'm I'm actually quite shocked I didn't expect it to be quite so well done when I was done with this I thought this is still going to be quite Jank but it actually wasn't ah so you know what also isn't Jank hitting that subscribe button if you're not already subscribed I mean my driving is Jank so we'll just ignore that part as well but for now aside from my Jank driving I want to thank my channel members and that specifically includes my top deer Channel member the Rogue tick the crown priest who is in fact a top tier Channel member what is this screen all right for now though I'll catch you all next time goodbye
