Technically yes, but generally speaking it won't do you much good. Most things still end up being a "race" with additional goals tacked on. Some scenarios also use Lua to augment this. See here for some info on goals - http://wiki.beamng.com/First_scenario
Ok I looked everywhere, apparently I'm the only one with that problem so I'm just going to ask the question here : I can't pause the physics when I'm in a scenario. and it creates some issues with editing it, can someone tell me why please ? Can't find any solution
It might have gotten added to the blacklist. I can't check right now. There's a setting in the game options for "strict scenarios" - please try turning that off and see if it helps you.
Works fine for me. Maybe try pressing and holding shift after you click? (It works for me regardless of whether I begin pressing shift before or after I click.)
any tutorials on how to make destruction scenarios? example: adding in props as like the old cannon. or setting up a points system on how well you can destruct your vehicle?
No tutorials. Just take a look at the stock scenario which you'd like to emulate. All the relevant guts of the game are available for you to examine. You can also take a look at this wiki page, which probably needs to be renamed since it's really a rundown of scenario goals. EDIT: When it comes to adding props such as a cannon... that's a simple matter of spawning that stuff and then putting it into the prefab.
I did the whole wiki page needs a proper rewrite lol which I'm willing to do. Or just make video tutorials for people once i learn it myself. Thanks for the help time to get back to work
I was a little slow in my edit so I'll post this one as a reply too: When it comes to adding props such as a cannon... that's a simple matter of spawning that stuff and then putting it into the prefab.
hello, I would like to create scenars for my map. A multiplayer scenars with a fix camera, more precisely. When I place the camera and I start the scenar, the view isn't at the good place. More than ill-formulated explanations, take a look to the multiplayer scenar and explain to me, please if you can. I've read i don't know where that the camera settings in the game options could be involved, but although I do, that don't works. Someone would have an idea ?
You didn't put the same vehicule names in the .prefab and in the .json : you called the vehicles car1, car2, car3 and car4 in the .prefab but you called them something else in the .json. This code should fix it : Code: [ { "name": "atoll multiplayer_1", "description": "race on the dirt race track part1", "authors": "bobby_boulgat", "type" : "race", "difficulty": "1", "date": 0, "lapConfig": ["wp_0"], "camera": { "name": "multiplayer1", "mode": "Stationary" }, "playersCountRange": { "min": 2, "max": 4}, "vehicles": { "car1": { "driver": { "player":true, "required": false, "removeIfEmpty":true, "startFocus": true } }, "car2": { "driver": { "player":true, "required": false, "removeIfEmpty":true } }, "car3": { "driver": { "player":true, "required": false, "removeIfEmpty":true } }, "car4": { "driver": { "player":true, "required": false, "removeIfEmpty":true } }, }, "blackListActions": ["default_blacklist_scenario", "camera_blacklist" ], }, ] I just noticed that there's an error that get dumped in the console really frequently after that, but it's a bug of the game : the same error ( about the scenarios statistics used for the campaigns ) shows up with the official multiplayer scenarios. So you should be fine with this code
Hey all, To anyone who's recently starting on this, I ran into problems while trying to follow the directions. It looks like some of the steps have changed since the last edit on the first post, but I eventually was able to figure out the workarounds: One step says "It will make you choose the folder where to save this file. Simply save it on the Desktop with any name you want (It will note save it in your actual desktop). Navigate to 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive/Users/yourname/Desktop' and you will find the saved .prefab." When I tried this, I got an error message saying Invalid Write Path: "Use a valid path inside C:/Users/username/Documents/BeamNG.drive", and no prefab file was created. Instead, I just saved it to Documents/BeamNG.drive, as it's only used temporarily. Also, I couldn't find a folder titled "levels" inside Documents/BeamNG, so I created a folder called levels in Documents > BeamNG.drive. I wasn't sure if that was something that should have already been there, but creating it manually has worked so far!
I'm working on my own map that is still unpacked in the levels folder, and I added a scenario folder with those files, and followed the instructions in the OP, but when I load the scenario, the camera is in the wrong spot and there are no visible waypoints to drive to.
I am following the tutorial from the initial post to the T, however when I run an updated scenario the way points are not showing up and they are not named what I named them before repacking. Has anything changed in the workflow since the original post?
As @RecklessPancake pointed out a few post before, yes there have been some changes. You don't need to change anything about the prefab filename, the game will automatically save it to BeamNG.drive\levels\TheLevelName (and create that folder if it doesn't already exists). Just skip the part from "IMPORTANT >> Before you Repack it's important to delete the 'prefab_filename' line from the 'Dynamic Fields' section to prevent issues." to "Or manually open it in notepad and copy-paste the content to the other one (I prefer this method, gives you more control)." I also never have managed to reload a scenario after packing a prefab without a game restart.
All my custom scenarios stopped working completely. Scenarios themselves don't show up, and custom campaigns fail to load and throw an error onto the console. Anyone know what changed, exactly?
