Outdated Traffic Tool 1.2.1

Can't wait to use this mod...

…….In a few years because my laptop sucks...

 

I have never been so excited for a BeamNG mod as this. Thank you, seriously, this is much needed.

 

Looks amazing! Can’t wait to give it a go!

 

0 regrets in suggesting this.
Hype, this feels as if a new beamng update has come and it brings a long awaited feature.
You are amazing. keep up the good work!

 

Is it needed to have adjustment for tool per map or is teleporting working universally as long as decal roads are there?

At WCUSA with older version of traffic scenario, I found out that traffic cars sometimes spawns to wrong end front, so they reverse and turn around, but sometimes they did like to drive to wrong direction completely. Can't imagine what nightmare that is to get to work, but certainly quite bad nightmare I would think.

@bob.blunderton's city map was also showing some odd behavior because multilane roads, which made AI cars often spawn wrong way around, but I guess your recent update to scenario had something that addresses that, just haven't had time to sit around enough long to do more experimenting.

Really incredible though.

 

A lot of the AI routes weren't set to one-way especially on the highways, as the highways themselves (and also the AI routes which differ from what you see graphically, they are separate) pre-dated the ability to use lanes and define them, and predated one-way roads (which were a requested feature from me + lanes for maps like that).
@Gamergull I will be contacting you in the future, when I have more roads laid out in their final manner for my city project that I am doing, maybe we can work together here making something cool.
--Shameless plug follows...
Come see the sights (but not really the sounds yet) of the Los Injurus City map, coming to BeamNG in 2019! This is a supporter-funded project (as software costs me quite a sum of money, some of it monthly & I am on a fixed income), made possible by about a dozen members of the BeamNG community currently contributing via Patreon.
Featuring over 45 unique miles of highway, over 100 miles of roads total, dozens upon dozens of new houses and commercial buildings, a new modular subway system (built it yourself if you want to, but there's 2+ miles of it in already), with standard-gauge train-tracks, and a modular road-kit (MRK) that allows any mapper to build realistic city roads in realistic manner. Featuring such iconic buildings such as the Frank Douglas towers from the Brewster-Douglas housing project towers, realistic American schools, The Simpson's house, and will feature other landmark buildings soon. Sick of driving but want some exploring? Enjoy crashing about in the first-of-it's-kind abandoned mall that features two floors of mold, mildew, and neglect ready to share with your vehicle & lots of opportunity for crashing, or take to the skies via the new concrete airstrip! You can even do stunts or go for a drive in the large concrete flood-control-canals inspired by Los Angeles / San Andreas.
Come stop in and see us! This will be 'the largest city' in BeamNG (since I already hold the record for largest terrain-based map...)

Don't think big, think bigger!

Thank-you for your contributions Gamergull, they mean something to the BeamNG community and it's highly appreciated not having to drive solo anymore.
--Cheers!

 

Is there a maximum to the amount of AI cars you can spawn.

 

Imagine trying to spawn 45 cars on a map like West Coast USA or Italy. My computer would probably implode, then explode.

 

I have done some testing, and this is so awesome, and I would not mind a max limit of 30 cars
And I have some questions,
- when I up the speed limit for the cars, is this updated automaticly for the cars driving around? or must i press any of the buttons in the app
- and if I up the number of cars spawning, do I i need to hit the spawn button for them to be added?
- and do the app pick from all the cars ingame when it add the cars that drive around?
There is one annoying bug I see, but that is the game engines fault (the broken meshes)
But the broken windows can be fixed by you I hope (The windows in the cars do not get reset if they break)

 

Don't feel bad about taking an hour or more to code something simple, it's always the simple things we underestimate. I had to try 3~4 times to configure my specular maps correctly so they didn't reflect BLUE on concrete highways (which are white, with a touch of sand color as concrete SHOULD be), thanks to updates in graphics formats on 0.14x / 0.15x game versions. The fun never ends!
To quote Tom Hanks on THE MONEY PIT: "Blue?, I hate blue, I want NOTHING blue!" in reference to his hallway area upstairs the carpenters painted blue as the house gets remodeled/fixed.
I know as of about a year ago on whatever version we were on (0.12? Before they raised limits on vehicle spawning), I ran about 11~12 vehicles on Tail of The Dragon, on a road 'race' (if you can call it that, some were just driving slow with large older cars blocking traffic), and let me tell you, it was some of the most fun I've ever had in this game besides putting a line of pianos to rest with a Combine Harvester (farming mod, I laughed until tears & sore gut).
So I will definitely want to get in-touch with you when I do my next release of Tail of The Dragon / Deal's Gap map (two weeks, maybe three away?). Could make an awesome race! I drew the limit at 11 vehicles on Tail of The Dragon only because things started getting sketchy performance-wise on 0.12 game version, on my aging i7 4790k / 2400mhz cl-11 ddr3 memory / RX 480 8gb configuration - that's about the comfortable limit as of then. Absolutely sure it's higher now but I'd have to check - surely not going to update a working and otherwise still 'plenty good-enough' computer for affording a few more vehicles in-play. Thinking about updating it with the 'tree of shame' and a new hotel model/graphics (because the contents of the dealsgap/art/buildings/motel directory CRASH the map, delete that & you're golden, for both Tail of The Dragon and Nevada Interstate) around the end of the month. Old models and graphics from back around 0.4x~0.5x game versions will rain on the parade every time. If that's not enough, there's the rather decidedly ambiguous log functions of the game that DO ANYTHING BUT tell you which of the 100's or 1000's of map assets just sent the game "going for-broke" back to the desktop.
Keep up the great work bud, you make a great contribution here!
--Cheers!

 

Thank you for all your hard work, this is so needed, and so time saving

 

Thank you for your dedication to this project! AI spawning has been such a long awaited feature I can not begin to express my gratitude for you doing this! Keep up the amazing work, and I hope to be able to play around with it soon.
