    Beamstick 360

    Have you ever seen those cameras mounted on vehicles to capture third-person angles? Well, now BeamNG has them too, thanks to the Beamstick 360.

    This module features an NG1 camera attached to a suction-cup car mount, fixed to the rear window.

    ----------------

    This camera also works in-game by adding a new perspective, featuring a 120-degree field of view to replicate the same angle as those car-mounted cameras.

    This could be useful for content creators, Your recorded gameplay can be easily cropped to a vertical resolution suitable for social media platforms, ensuring the vehicle remains fully visible within the frame.



    ----------------

    How To Install:

    Open the BeamNG game.
    On the menu, select Manage User Folder, then click Open User Folder.
    A new Explorer window should appear showing the game version folder (0.35 in this case).
    Open that folder, then open the Mods folder.
    Finally, drop the provided .zip mod file into the Mods folder.

    ----------------

    How To Use:

    In the Vehicle Config tab, under Body, you can change the backlight (rear glass) of the vehicle. To ensure compatibility with the vehicle, I’ve added a new option called "Backlight with Camera Support." Selecting this will place the Beamstick onto the backlight.

    ----------------
    Version 0.1.2
    • Fixed the bug preventing the mod from loading.
    • Added support for the ETK K-Series

    ----------------

    Version 0.1.1

    • Added the option to change the vertical offset for the camera

    ----------------
    This project is a WIP and development may be very slow. However, I have decided to release a preview for the Bruckell Bastion to get some feedback.

    I hope you enjoy this mod! :)

    Hey Guys.

    I’ve added instructions on how to install this mod into your game. Have you tried following those steps?

    I’ve tested it again myself, and it works perfectly on my end.

    very good mod! i think it might be a bit better if the camera view was a bit closer to the car though. 9/10

    It’s so weird that it only works for some people. Honestly, I have no clue what the cause is.
    I’ve added a new version with an option to adjust the vertical offset for the camera. Maybe try this version and see if it works?

    just figuered out how to fix the mod not showing in the vehicle configurator: Go to mod in the mod manager, unpack it. Then open the mod folder and click on the unpacked folder and on the beamstick folder. Then move the common and second vehicle folder into the beamstick folder. Last but not least: delete the unused vehicle folder and pack the mod. Works fine for me now!

    rename the "Vehicles" folder to just "vehicles" all lowercase
    the uppercase v was making it not work

    Thanks guys for finding and reporting a solution to this issue! I will update the file as soon as possible, and I will also add the Beamstick 360 to the ETK K-series as a sign of gratitude!
