RoR vs BeamNG

I am going to do my first mod. The mesh ist 70% finished and now I start thinking about bringing ingame. But I wonder which node and beam structure would be more convenient for a first mod.
So please feel free to write your opinion.

 

i belive ror is easyer to make but is not as accurate as beam

 

This is completely false and grammatically terrible, RoR lacks features like node names as well as a lack of proper debugging and testing tools. BeamNG is not exactly easier, but is a lot less headache inducing.

 

thats what i was trying to say

(dont blame me if its 12:20 am ive been up since 7am)

 

Okay thanks.

 

As someone who actually mods and does his Jbeam through Notepad++ I can tell you that having been wanting to mod since RoR days Jbeam is a thousand times easier to look at than whatever that stuff was back in RoR .

 

and you don't have to reload the game every time you make a change.

 

these are the main reasons i no longer play ror

 

Rigs of Rods

Code:

nodes2
myNode,0,0,0
myNode2,1,1,0
myNode3,0,1,0

beams
myNode,myNode2
;etc

BeamNG

Code:

"nodes":[
     ["id", "posX", "posY", "posZ"],
     ["myNode",0,0,0],
     ["myNode2",1,0,1],
     ["myNode3",0,0,1],

],

"beams" :[
     ["id1:", "id2:"],
     ["myNode","myNode2"],
     //etc
],

The jbeam/truck files have their similarities.

BUT BeamNG has better simulation speeds, constantly improving physics features, has DAE support (so you don't have to convert every vehicle part to a .mesh), etc.
As a previous Rigs of Rods modder I suggest you at least start with BeamNG.

 

Don't forget that Jbeam, can be separated into separate files, and not one big Cluster Fuck, so you can develop in whatever way makes things easiest for you.
