    RELEASE UPDATE: All you have to do is take out the "_Final" in the folder name and there you go! its not completely texturized to perfection but my laptop cant handle the editor anymore. Im waiting on a lot of things for upgrading my Desktop. Wont be putting much work out as you can see.



    Hello! I need some help with Forest and Texture placing. With the forest and vegetation I would like some more realistic looking vegetation, I'm not too good with it, but my computer is starting to lag in the editor on the map. I also need some more textures along the ground and near the main roads, possibly 3D textures, because I have too much of the same texture, PM me if you are interested, I'll send you the Download for the map (it is completely finished, except these last details)




    I bring you a new video! features the map in a high speed police chase !!! Credits go to Incognito for developing the waypoint system and GregBlast for the speedometer! Without that this chase wouldn't be possible. Not too exciting but the fact its a working chase is exciting itself! The video will not be ready for about an hour or so after this update (it's late here and it's uploading) but add it to your "Watch Later" and check it out! :) Enjoy!




    I give you The Open Road! Beta. :) The beta features the MAIN island and its fast paced roads. The off-road trails are still a little rough, but none the less are functional! The vegetation is plentiful (I want more changes to it) and the roads are fast! Enjoy the beta and report any errors you see:)

    Hello!
    This is the 2nd map I have made. The First one was deleted but I am here to offer an even better map! It will feature Day/Night time with long high speed roads that allow you zoom past the beautiful trees and coast of the island. Along with many Off road trails with difficulties of easy and hard and EXPERT. Some mud crawling areas with rock crawling aswell will be featured on the mountains that are on the inside of the map! 2 Islands exist next to each other. The Big Island will have more high speed roads and offroading while the Second island will have rock/Mud crawling with a drift track (hopefully) around the edge of the coast!

    Here are some ScreenShots of the map! No ground textures have yet to be placed.

    Please view the video if you want to see what the current main roads look like! (wow!! sorry for the really bad quality in the video, must have rendered it wrong. none the less can still show the roads)

    Haha, its still a pretty new map. The roads have been finished and I have finished the layout of the off-road tracks, just need to smoothen them for driving (way too steep at the moment and you wont get far) and then I have the vegetation to do along with other buildings. A beta will be released within the next 2 days hopefully of the main island. (2 islands total)

    - - - Updated - - -

    It's really fun to drive on already! I think anyone who will give it a try when it's ready will LOVE the map. Stay tuned:) and thanks for the support everyone:p

    Do you really not know how to add textures to your terrain? >.> it literally takes a few clicks.

    You obviously didn't get my point. My point is, that it literally takes seconds to apply a meterial/texture to the terrain. Whereas it takes a LOT longer to create all those roads, let alone that bridge he has put in the terrain.

    Good map. But where's the grass?:confused: No grass, an open needs grass around it.;)

    EDIT: Also trees and buildings, etc.:confused:

    There are textures all over the place. The whole map is practically green and covered in trees. Is it coming up bad? I cant "autopaint? anything anymore because it just crashes on my laptop. Everything is hand painted. WIP.

    - - - Updated - - -

    That honestly didn't take longer than 10 minutes to make the roads and the bridge....

    - - - Updated - - -

    There are trees all over the place around the roads and a lot of grass. Maybe some files are linked wrong and they aren't showing up. Still working on the kinks:) but I do indeed have a few buildings by a corner beach and trees everywhere o:

    Re: The Open Road- A beautiful island that has many Off-Roading trails and High Speed Roads

    If you make it so the only terrain material in your map is grass (remove all materials but grass), it automatically makes the whole terrain have the grass material... you can then add materials to paint onto your terrain afterwards. The reason autopaint is crashing your computer, is because the default maximum height for autopaint is set extremely high. If you set the maximum height for the autopainter as the max height of your terrain, it shouldn't crash your game. Take note, Autopaint can and WILL take up a LOT of processing power, so if you're on a small laptop like you said, the game will seemingly freeze for a period of time as it processes the autopaint procedure.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Make sure that all the material and model files that your map is using are located in the art folder of your own terrain. If you are referencing files from another terrain's folder, then you will run into problems.

    Re: The Open Road- A beautiful island that has many Off-Roading trails and High Speed Roads

    I understand. Still a WIP. detail will be added. But for now im just making sure the roads are functional and the setup is basically right. Detail is last. And I have the max and min heights lowered quite a bit, and it was working completely fine before the last little update. Anyways, thank you for letting me know that some files aren't there. is it all the ground cover? and trees? Or... haha



    if someone can, can you please post pictures of when you spawn, drive down the straight, and anywhere else? that way I can pinpoint the problems easier, thank you! :D

    Im running BeamNG on a laptop and the map has NO lag whatsoever.. and showing me that doesn't really help. Especially since the editor is thrashed on my computer. After an update my editor cant handle and this is where I pretty much left off. I cant do much for it. What's there is all there is. I wont be able to make any changes at all until I get new hardware for my desktop. There really isn't that many trees or foliage or anything. ITs mostly the Main Road that goes around the island that's important. So im sorry if some things are missing. If anyone wants to finish it they are more than welcome to touch it up and upload it. Just give credit to me for the basic design. Anyone is free to do whatever they want to this map. When some more versions come out and I have the hardware I need then ill be making more maps. Until then Wait for DrowsySams releases. They are amazing.
