Hey, I got into modding about a year ago.
A solid tip: start simple. Try a basic Lua script that makes your car fly, or build a JBeam for a massive wing on the Sunburst. Use AI to help you learn at first, then phase it out as you get more comfortable with the code.
filman86 is a great modder to watch — his videos taught me a lot.
Modding is a big commitment and takes a lot of patience. I just posted my 4th mod ever; it’s pretty simple, still in beta, and I’m actively updating it.
A good way to learn is just opening up some JBeams, tweaking the numbers, and seeing what happens. That’s how I started — I took an engine script, cranked the torque to 9000, and let it rip.
Once you get the hang of it, the way you look at the game completely changes. You don’t just see the car anymore… you actually understand it.
(Yeah, that last part sounds kinda cringe 😭 but it’s true.)
