Released Speedometer V0.3

Re: Speedometer V0.2

Hey

Thanks for your awesome mod but I think there is something you should do:
I wanted to install version 0.3 but I always got a failure message in the console. I needed a few minutes to figure out that you have to do the manual steps out of beta 1/2 too (main.lua).
Maybe you should mention this in your first post.

Keep going

 

Really having trouble getting this done, I don't know what step I have missed. I manually extracted everything, and I think I did your steps in the lua files via notepad correctly. Pretty much hit a dead end.

 

I had some problems when I first installed it as well, I made a few mistakes in editing the LUA file. Everything else is just drag and drop really. I uploaded a copy of the LUA file that I know works, feel free to try it if you want.

 

Much appreciated, it worked!

 

What folder exactly do I extract it to?

 

From the OP:

Beta 3 - Installation

---

For the version 0.3 and later please do the following:

• in the zip file you will find a folder named the same as the zip file (gauges-v0.3)
• extract the contents of that folder inside the the game's root folder
• you could be asked to overwrite a file added by Incognito with his Waypoints mod (table.save-1.0.lua). Your file could be more recent than the one I'm providing so in that case do not overwrite.

 

I did that, but when I ran the game and started playing, I didn't see the speedometer anywhere, since
"inside the game's root folder" isn't exactly clear.
Here's where I extracted it to: \AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive
Anyway, if you got it working in game, where did you extract it?

 

It should look like this, you also need to edit the Main.lua file If you haven't already.

 

what do I do to the Main.lua file?

 

You can just download mine if you want, its two posts above your original question, or you could follow the instructions in the OP.

 

What folder is the games main folder?

 

The folder in which you installed the game (сontains the BeamNG.drive.x86.exe).

 

Lol sorry for not being clear enough. So let me confirm what the others already said. The [game path] (as I mentioned) is the folder containing the executable file you run to launch the game. As you probably run from a shortcut you may still be wondering where it is. Then put your mouse cursor over your shortcut and wait for the tooltip to pop up. It will tell you where it points (aka the game's root folder).

I included a note within the installation part of my first post for future users.

 

Ok Thanks very much dude

Make these steps too:

 

I have done everything correctly and I CANNOT get this thing to work I have followed the instructions to the letter and it doesnt work!!! sorry but I cant get this thing to work at all..

 

Do you have any errors in your console ? (in-game, open with ' or ´ or `or maybe another one based on your keyboard settings).
If so could you copy the error messages please ?

 

No Error codes...I mean can someone do a video on how to install this thing because I sure cannot do it with what I have here I mean sorry I am sounding mega negative here but I cannot install this mod...I need a video tutorial of how to install this...thats what I need

 

Ok I will do that when I get the time.
