Update Speculation thread

after having two minivans snuffed, one due to.....well.....call the suicide hotline, and the other i think was abandoned. I have a suspicion the devs might be planning their own

 

If (and that's still a very big if at this point in time) we do get a minivan, I wouldn't expect it to be released or even previewed until the Soliad Wendover is firmly in the hands of Beamng players.

In the meantime, I'm wondering if I was wrong about there being two vehicles released at once. Those big things that Nadeox was alluding to could also be any of the following:

• Complete sound revamp
• Techdemo update
• Early, unfinished version of Career mode
• Large number of new scenarios/quickraces
• Large number of new configurations
• Weather

There's a lot of things that the devs could be working on at this time. We should probably cool it with the new vehicle hype until we see some pictures.

 

That could be possible, maybe more canpaigns

 

I know some weather isn't possible right now, but I want to clarify something
Wind is possible (for vegetation)
Waves
flooding
rain
snow
lightning

and that's it i think
but anyways to be on topic I guess it might come out this coming up friday, @Nadeox1 said the update was "soon" some time ago, and updates happen on friday (well, sometimes) and it can't be next month, since he did say it was "soon" 6 days ago. But that would also depend on his definition of soon.

 

Wasnt the last time we got an update on a tuesday when the devs said theyre aiming for friday and then it didnt happen and everyone was super annoing about it and they released a more bug heavy version of the update?

 

Damn I forgot these, weather was officially mentioned at some stage wasn't it?
There's so much to possibly come to this game it's hard to keep track of how much more is left.

 

Why yes, yes I am working on that, rest assured y'all have not been forgotten.
I have the map ready to be populated, but there's a crash in the shape editor in Beamng.drive map editor. I am hoping they have this CTD bug fixed on the next update, or shortly-there-after. I can get my models into the game but they won't have LOD or decent (or sometimes any) collision until it's fixed, as I personally STINK at using Blender3d. I have been working on plenty of models though and one of the guys I know sent in a few to help with the work-load. It will truly be a great day when the bug is fixed and I can get something besides prep-work, graphics, models etc done outside of Beamng editor, and work then inside the editor creating the map.
I have oh so much planned. For now we will have to just keep fingers crossed for WEST COAST and the Italy map (though it's only a small bit of town on Italy map, it's still a great map), or settle for Tail of the Dragon (with very few buildings and no city, but a very fun snaking road) when it's out. I don't think that Tail of the Dragon is too bad though, because it's turning out better than I anticipated it would have.

Actually, he didn't want the bandit ported either. I'm still not sure how that got his approval.

 

@Atomix ensured a proper quality porting.

 

Yes. It was high quality, and still is, but Gabester REALLY doesn't like his ROR stuff, so I assume Atomix had a hard time getting permission.

 

I don't think that the other one is abandoned.
2010 - 2017 Gavril Traveler / ETK Atlantis

 

Any of you guys have an idea when a STOCK ALREADY in game diesel engine for the d, h series and roamer will come out? Did the devs already talk about it?
I was thinkin about something like the ford powerstroke 7.3 or the powerstroke 6.0
P.S YES I'M BACK

 

I got full approval and permissiona and even a happy smilie, because i shown him and proved that i did in fact rework it from ground up utilizing some Barstow features. It was far from just a port

 

I know, you did well. It's just that it was far higher quality than the original. Gabester didn't like the original, and if you did a simple port, he wouldn't have approved it.

Im sorry, but I think I was confused and got your bandit confused with another person's port attempt way back when.

 

Actually, per his own admission, he simply found them not up to the higher standards set by BeamNG and non-reflective of his current abilities as a vehicle designer.

As a result, he'll likely never approve straight ports.

 

This looks interesting....

 

Thats been out for quite a while.

 

Yep, for about 3 years. It's still possible though.

 

Looks like we ran out of things to speculate on, given the fact we're digging out old stuff

OT : Has anyone an idea on how close to release the update is ?
