    Hi folks,

    I'm creating one of the most challenging rally stage based on Utah. It will be a quickplay race. Can someone share the Utah vanilla preview image so I can pinpoint the stage course?

    Thank you!

    How come you aren't able to go into your BeamNG files and retrieve it? It's not hard really.

    Uhmm... no sorry. The best I could do was to retrieve the "asphalt_mix.jpg" and "canyon_race.jpg" preview images, but they are "touched". With Jungle Rock Island I was able to create a "vanilla" preview map because the races did not overlap with each other. Now with Utah... asphalt mix and canyon race share some roads.

    This is what I meant with "vanilla preview image". Probably my fault since I didn't mention "overview"...

    Anyway, thanks!

    The preview image you may be looking for is located in the main Utah folder inside the zip file. I found several preview images with ease.

    Check in this directory: Steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/content/levels/Utah.zip/levels/Utah
    Go no further than the last one, and you should find the image your looking for.

    You are looking for the preview image of the quickraces?

    If so, you should have specified, else people are thinking you are looking for the one used in free roam.

    Yesss! Yes! Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Rewinding then:

    Could someone share the stock preview images of quickraces?

    Thank you!

    Here's the background image and the mask. I just used the mask as a transparency mask and then expanded the result by 7px before shrinking it to the final size.

    Hooray!! Pure awesomeness! May I ask you how did you manage to get the background image? I read about the mask, but what about the brown overview?

    Many many thanks! ;)

    Edit: Silly me: Staff member, environment artist... awesome! :eek:

    I used one of the maps I generated from world machine (I think it was just the overlay map used ingame) and ran it through a the trace bitmap feature of inkscape. The roads are similar except I fed the terrain masks through it instead.

    It may be more effective to include blank overview images in the game files with the next update. That way, the devs won't have to run around directing future modders to this thread in order to provide them - they'll be right in the game and ready to go! ;)

    Also, what's going on in the course above? Which is the start and which is the finish? Will there be obstacles blocking off roads not intended to be driven upon?

    I would very much like to have the background images used to make the quickrace previews for the other maps like you @McHawk

    @LJFHutch , would it be possible to have the background images and the transparency mask for the other official maps too if they are still lying in a folder somewhere ? (Small Island, Jungle Rock Island, East Coast USA)
