Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

i just disabled the mods affecting the t-series since it was the more resonable thing to do

 

It would be good if you added the ability to take several trailers for delivery. There are trailers that allow you to hook up more , but you can only take one

 

yeah I know, I just thought it'd be a little easier to get your attention over the other devs

I mean this nice name (1st pic) in the career vehicle json files the one that allows you to change the "Gavril T-Series" text to like "Gavril T83s Car Hauler Upfit" (2nd pic)

 

Just feel like it'd look better if you could make the 2nd picture look like the 1st picture in game so that you don't have to go into the save game files and change the text 1-3 times manually so that i can make my Diana & 240BX come up as "Ibishu Diana GTz Turbo" & "Ibishu 240BX DX" not just have both of them end up being called "Ibishu 200BX". you know what i mean?

 

Wait how did you get more garage slots? Is their something I don't know about?

 

create an unpacked mod and just call it whatever you want maybe like "career_garage_slots" make the file structure look like this career_garage_slots\lua\ge\extensions\career\modules and in that modules folder you need to copy the inventory.lua file from your BeamNG install (BeamNG.drive\lua\ge\extensions\career\modules\inventory.lua) open the lua file up in a text editor and change "local slotAmount = 5" to whatever number you want hope that makes sense if it doesn't just ask me about it

 

ITS BEEN THAT EASY ALL THIS FRIGGIN TIME!?!?!?!?!?

 

yes also did you get it to work or are you still having issues?

 

I am curious @krallopian... What is your/the overall team's take on more traditional sim racing gameplay?

The discussion has come up once in awhile on the forums, and while the lack of licensed official content is a major roadblock to compete in the traditional space, there still seems to be some demand for traditional gameplay judging by the user content, overlapping target audience, etc... With motorsport branch of career mode coming up, can you share your thoughts on having a more traditional sim racing gameplay with full length races, qualifying sessions, etc?.. It wouldn't really fit the vision for career mode from what the public knows, but it would be great to see outside of career mode

Similar question for realistic race car classes. I'm sure sooner or later there would be some licensing issues if the team just copy/pasted IRL competitions for everything, but currently the roster has a weird mix of cars that follow or nearly follow proper classes (GT-IV K-Series, Class 5 and Nostalgia Class 5 Autobuggy, Group 4/5 Bolide, JTTC Pessima) and generic motorsport configs. Is there any plan/desire to stick to more IRL class regulations or will we continue to see generic configs?

 

Haven't been home.

I assumed we weren't getting more slots because there needed to be some techno wizardly only a master programing warlock could carry out. Nope, just something any person with a PC and half a brain can accomplish.

 

Figured the dev team might wanna know you guys were the first "unique" Racing game this guy mentioned.

A small QoL suggestion, I think it'd be fun to have a "spray can" category in the painting section.
priced even cheaper than factory paint, but with a predetermined selection of ugly matte finish colours.
Things like the fluro orange/green/pink from the demolition derby cars, or followed by a few unattractive shades of fence paint brown and green, and finish it off with a flat black and primer.

for those people who can't stand their car being half-primered, but who are too cheap to pay for factory paint.

 

Hey there! Just came across this bug on the Money Runner Mission in Career Mode, the game automatically ends the challenge as soon as you stop on the green area to pick up the money, instead of having to run away and evade the cops like before. This wasn't happening in previous versions

--- Post updated ---
I also take the chance to mention a bug that's always been bugging me out a lot. The mission stars displayed on the small pop up menu get messed up. They usually display that you have achieved all of the stars even though you haven't. Here's reference from the last mission.


Here it shows I got all of the stars including the blue ones.

But you can clearly see here I didn't

This has been around for a while in beamng and has never gotten fixed. It happens on all missions, not just Career Mode

 

Thank god for Beam.ng and Gran Turismo 7.

 

Heyy it's been really quiet in here recently! I've just had a new idea that will probably become a necessity for me to have in career mode.
It would be awesome to be able to deliver cars and not just by driving them, so that you could load them up on a flatbed semi or box truck or even on a gooseneck trailer!

Not sure if this would be possible, I'd love to know!

 

Why is iracing there? iracing is the most greedy over priced racing game on the market

 

yeah and thats the only thing that make it unique
