Have you always dreamed of playing pétanque in Beamng Drive? This will soon be possible thanks to this mod! Description : A small metal ball that allows you to play pétanque, it is 7.5 cm in diameter and weighs 800 grams. Pétanque remains a rather simple sport with simple equipment when it remains in the field of the amateur, but it is still complicated to practice. This is the ideal leisure to wait before a barbecue. Why : This is my first mod, which is originally for the sole purpose of learning what modding is. I made the decision to make my object available one day in order to also be able to entertain you as much as I can with my limited knowledge. Before release: -Add different configurations (Balls of different weights + possibility to make several balls appear at the same time) -Add in-game description and images for configurations (Optional: allow changing colors) Already done : -3D model -Jbeam -PBR Texture I would have liked to add a "Cochonnet" but the size of the pétanque ball is already not very well taken into account in the game, so having a ball 2 cm in diameter would be totally useless. (this is also why I intend to add the possibility of making several balls appear at the same time to be able to fill a small Pick-up.) In my opinion this mod will be available in +/- 2 weeks as I am constantly learning. For this little work, I'm already at a week and a half of work. If you have any advice or suggestions, don't hesitate!
I'm happy, I'm currently making good little progress, even if it doesn't look like much, it's already a lot for a start.
I've never heard of this, this seems pretty awesome! I'd mostly use it for breaking into car windows, though. You can't have crap in West Coast.
The only problem is the ball is really too bouncy to break anything (like all base props, but they are heavy), so I will make a 100 kg version to make it more useable (less or more heavy depending on the break effect)
I will be honest, BeamNg.drive is the last place I expected some pétanque ... But here we go ! Do you will create a cochonnet too ? Also i didn't know It's called pétanque in english too !
I don't really know, on the one hand, I want to, but on the other, I don't know how the game will react. Afterward, if you really want one, I can always try, I don't have much to lose there. I'm French, and when trying to translate it, I saw that it translated bowling ball on Google translation, so I looked on Wikipedia, and it came out to me Pétanque, so I consider that to be the right word. Ok, little change, For the release, you will get a cochonnet because why make a pétanque ball without a cochonnet ???
After a short time of work, I was able to add the jack, I took the opportunity to review a large part of the .jbeam, I added 9 additional nodes to each ball, hoping that it would make them roll a little better. I still have: -delete duplicate beams (it's going to be a boring and long job, but oddly I've already gotten used to it) -revise the textures so that they are well positioned with the physics of the object -rework the weight of the balls as well as the jack -do the configuration 429950765301791/1063130692415918080/image.png?width=759&height=571[/IMG] --- Post updated --- Pétanque ball are all the time beautiful (and really small).
Here some little new about the mod. With 354 balls, you need a better laptop than a poor Acer, But it is still fun to see. (The video it in x4 to take less time to see.)
