Update Speculation thread

That seems to still be in the planning stages - make sure to get on over to that thread and give your input on what you'd like to see as part of a new Gridmap!

 

The grid map revamp is still in very early development stage. Very probably not coming for 0.22

 

Yeah, just remembered that it probably still is in the planning stages. My bad.

 

Yeah, that Wendover interior is a dead ringer for the Buick CRT push button screen. Hopefully the menus are cycleable. (skip to 5:06) The CRT predicted one of my least favorite modern trends-HVAC controls via the touchscreen.



Also the closest match I could find for the digital gauges design is also Buick-the W body Regal

 

So... Given the current surge in developer posts, I would say the update is even closer than we thought. Could even be this week, though more likely next week

 

I have a random hunch that the update will either come out on Friday or Tuesday.

 

I would say Monday through Thursday is a safer bet because that leaves at least one weekday to listen to bug reports from the community. (The devs do hear your bug reports even if they do not reply to them! I learned this the hard way and made an ass of myself a couple of times. Sorry guys )

 

Just to make things easier for everyone, here are all of @tdev 's videos in one post, embedded for your convenience.

Worth noting that our physics-based approach to walking is similar to the one used in the Jurassic Park PC game as well as early builds of Half-Life 2, where it was removed because people died after running into walls.

 

very cool

 

can we take a Staff Pick as a confirmation?
Also, BeamNG.drive does not need anything like dying, it´s not GTA, it´s a physics simulator.
Edit: Diamond´s message did not load in for me.

 

The dream date: Friday the 26th

 

One of my friends on discord just brought this question up and I was very unsure about it myself. Would it be possible to walk inside vehicles like the Travel Trailer or the Wentward DT40L?

 

...but you don't deny them either

 

Well if you can open the door...

 

mfw beam devs add oppressor mk3 based on pigeon

in all seriousness though, im assuming gravity sliders will affect the the "player" the same way it does cars? imagine trying to jump between cars in low gravity lol

 

The question really pertains to whether the interior collisions would be stable enough.
