    This mod is great and tons of fun! however for whatever reason changing colour does not save can you fix this? or is this already fixed in the 1.10 update thats coming up?


    edit:looked at some of the previous pages and found the temporary fix for it so sorry for bothering you lol

    The ability to skip 12 hours is already in the mod, use the options menu to change sleep duration. Pink slips races might be chance based on all races in a future update. I haven't gotten any of the two bugs you mention but I know some users have reported similar issues. Not sure what might be the cause without being able to reproduce them. Did you get that amount in repair cost after a crash at some point before saving? If you get the repair cost bug again check your garage file for that car and if the listed damage value is that repair cost it means that's the last saved value. If saved damage value is 0 and you get damage, it's possible some part mod is causing beam deformation. Bugged walk mode after teleport might be fixed next update as the teleport code will be changed to stop free repairs when teleporting.

    Thanks for the feedback btw, I'm glad you like the mod!

    ik that this mod uses the vanilla checkpoint system but could you include some kind of arrows or something to tell the direction of a checkpoint? sometimes i end up going the wrong way in a race because i dident see where the next checkpoint was probably doesent help i play in first person but it would still be nice to have

    i guess so since the ai is mostly easy if you upgrade your car often and the main enemy feels more like your own driving sometimes lol

    it happens alot on the rural racing club in east coast for me because alot of races have the same first corner that i miss because the checkpoint hides behind the trees lol

    Version 1.10 has just been uploaded on github! This is one of the biggest updates so far in terms of amount of changes and I wouldn't be surprised if I missed a couple bugs so please make sure to report any issues you encounter with this new update. This is also a good opportunity to reset your career as the early game progression is heavily impacted by the addition of track events. Here is the full changelog:
    • Added race track event system and UI menus
    • Added race track events on Hirochi Raceway and Automation Test Track
    • Added vehicle config save and load menu
    • Added time scale option
    • Added new ETK800 & ETKC configs to shops & race clubs
    • Further improved fuel related code (should now work with all vehicles)
    • Increased race start parking markers length
    • Using new towing code to fix free repair issue
    • Fixed main menu layering issue
    • Tuning menu now sorted by category & ordered alphabetically
    • Part edit & part shop menu now ordered alphabetically
    • Fixed rep loss happening on fast forward instead of daily
    • Fixed paint loading issue introduced by 0.28 changes
    • Race opponents now use nitrous and lights (lights only turned on during night)
    • Now calculating G forces using airspeed to workaround erratic G forces
    • Backup now happens automatically on mission abandon (ensures updated files)
    • Fixed reset and backup load feature not restarting mission
    • Delivery mission UI now uses confirmation requesting buttons
    • Fixed bug when buying parts using default fallback price
    • Some race clubs now using class system for simplified config loading
    Next version will likely focus on improving existing features, mainly the mission system (potentially adding trailer ownership and pickup/van specific big cargo delivery), RNG based pink slips for all races and also adding the special item inventory system (for stuff like emergency gas refills, free repair vouchers, etc).

    I also took some time a couple months ago to set up a donation page for the project. I kept it hidden for the most part only giving the link to players who asked in DM to donate. Note that this project and all future updates will stay free forever as I am not doing this for money. This is only for players who really like the mod and wish to support its development. The only perks to donating will be mentions, likely adding a name of your choice to the opponent name list for track events and a general mention in a "credits" section that will be added to the top of the main menu in a coming update.

    Here is the donation link for anyone interested!

    Awesome mod, this is what a beamng career should be like!

    I have only one problem with the latest version - after loading a saved career, I can't change the car to the one I received at the start (bluebuck), because legran is loaded instead and all career progress is reset as if I chose a reset. Do you know what it could be caused by?

    Bug: When I'm fast traveling if I'm holding right trigger on my controller and still moving, it reloads my career to a new career and I lose all my progress. The save career option is gone now, is there a way to save it without backing out now?

    Maybe bug: How do I get wagers to work, when I change the amount, nothing happens? I have completed all the highway race clubs and I've never been able to raise the wager.

    Possible bug: Also, in 1.9 I had a few cars that let me race for pinks. I'm doing all the pure drag clubs and it seems that none of the cars race for slips. I'm currently in gold now.

    Would be cool if we could sell parts we buy.

    As a freelancer: I hate you XD...
    As SLRR fan: God Bless You!
    I spend a bunch of hours in 1.9 and glad to see that in 1.10 almost all eye-catching bugs were solved!
    But there is one thing that would be perfect to add: Delivery missions...
    Now it's just a race from point A to B. I propose to spawn a trailer that needs to be towed to point B for medium difficulty, and for hard it can be semitrailer. This way this mission will be more challenging and rewarding and will add to the overall immersion. But in the end, we would still have a race with a trailer from point A to B )))
    Maybe later you can add some randomization of point A so we can take orders for delivery from different places.

    P.S. If you need help I will be honored to contribute to this great Game)

    Thank you very much for the support!

    Not sure but I'm guessing something goes wrong during the backup loading process as this happens after a reset. I'll check to see if I can reproduce the problem however if you encounter it again try checking the lua console for errors.

    When you say fast travel are you talking about the towing button or big map UI fast travel? I'm using new towing code to fix another problem and it's possible the airspeed based injury system reads this as a change in airspeed big enough to cause death, however I have played around with towing to see if the free repair bug was fixed and this career reset didn't happen on my end. I'll check if I can reproduce the problem and let you know what I find.

    About the backup save button, it was removed due to confusion on how it works which is entirely my fault. The fact is it doesnt update files before moving them to the backup folder. That caused inconsistencies when most players used it as a quicksave button because your current car isn't correctly saved. By automatically creating a backup when you stop the mission files are properly saved.

    Sorry about the lost progress, unfortunately this mod is still experimental in many ways. After making some good progress I suggest you always backup the entire BeamLR folder somewhere, that way even if everything breaks you should still be able to manually restore your career files.

    I'm glad you're enjoying the mod! Delivery missions will be improved in the next version and trailer deliveries are planned, destination and item of delivery could be randomized with a reward bonus scaling with a "fragility" value for items being delivered so if you crash too hard the mission fails.

    Best way you can help right now is by playing and reporting bugs, play testing is quite time consuming and I often miss bugs as I'm actively testing for specific features.

    It's no big deal, I completely understand, only sharing to help.

    So I repod it again. When the car is moving, Press Y on controller to bring up the big map UI. Then press buttons on my controller after clicking on the spot for quick travel before the game loads fully, it will completely reload a new career.

    I just finished all the pure drag race events and it never gave the options for pink slip races. I was able to do 2 pink slip for the highway race club.

    How do I get the wagers to work? I've tried it before starting a race, after accepting one and before I get to the bubble to activate a race event. Doesn't seem to change anything?

    Thanks for the extra info. I just tested and using fast travel or towing when the car is moving is what resets the career, speed goes to 0 in a single frame so it counts as huge G forces. Current workaround is to make sure you're not moving before using fast travel and towing. I didn't intend on fast travel being allowed so I'll see if I can find a way to disable it, might have to disable the big map UI completely.

    Pink slips are only enabled for specific races for now, this might change in a future update. Generally the AI is easy to beat so having too many pink slips races doesn't feel like taking a risk.

    The target wager option can't force a higher wager for opponents that aren't willing to bet that amount. Basically if the race file has a wager range of 200 to 500 and the opponent is willing to bet 400 you can set the wager from 200 to 400, any higher won't work as the opponent isn't betting that much.

    This time I ran into the same error without loading a saved game, I just wanted to change the car in the garage. Console errors:

    I think there's something wrong with your file structure, the errors are about missing file data which can happen when files are missing or corrupted. I can't reproduce the error even by deleting some files I thought could have been causing this as they were missing in previous updates. So this is most likely due to incorrect install. Make sure you installed the mod in the root of the userfolder (not the game folder) by extracting the zip file contents, do not place the zip file in the mods folder. One extra step to ensure nothing is causing conflicts is to install in a clean userfolder without other mods, you should try that if it still doesn't work, remember to back up your userfolder to later restore your mods and settings.

    If you think it's all installed correctly you can send me a screenshot of the install folder so I can confirm and I'll keep investigating. Also if you send me the beamLR folder I'd be able to see if I can reproduce the issue using your files. Try the reinstall first as it's quite easy to mess things up when installing.

    I cleaned the user folder and installed the mod from scratch, so far everything works fine.

    I think the problems may have been caused by BeamMP installed, I had some old version that I haven't used in a year.

    Thank you for your help!
