Update Speculation thread

I think 0.9 is going to be as loaded of sub-updates as 0.3.

 

I think it is a little unusual. They are planning the hotfixes this time around, not creating them to fix some massive bugs. I think they want to slowly add more features and content that weren't quite ready to go, like the hopper parts and lightbars. It is going to be the first time in over a year that minor updates come out that add parts. They have been very consistent, only releasing major updates, followed by a minor hotfix or two.

 

Lightbars? I thought they already fixed them.

 

The Hopper has a light bar modeled but not jbeam'd in the game files. It will be added with a few other parts for a safari config soon. I assume that is what kyle meant, since you're right, lightbars in general were updated in 9.0

 

I thought you guys were talking about the police lights, which they updated in 0.9

 

Ok, I've taken some time and written up some rules. If you guys can think of anything else, let me know and if it's a good idea I'll add it. I want this place to be one for thoughtful and constructive dialogue, not shitpost central.

1. Each post must contribute. This is not a chat room. There are other threads for chatting. Off topic discussion will derail the thread and ruin the forum experience for everyone else

2. No random guesses. If you do not have some sort of proof to back up a claim, do not post it! We do not want to be spreading misinformation. Proof can be anything from a developer directly saying something, to files hidden in the game, cheeky screenshots posted by devs, or past development patterns

2a. It is OK to make an educated guess as to when an update will release, i.e. "It has been over a month since the last update and we have not heard anything from the devs. It is possible that we may get it at the end of the week." No "my gut says today." one day then "my gut says today." the next day.
​

3. There is no need for name, calling, swearing, or general stupidity. That type of talk will only serve to derail the thread.

4. Steamdb is not a valid source. The QA branch is updated daily by automated processes, and serves as no indicator as to when an update will release.

5. When an update is near, absolutely do not spam any sort of hype. Over 30 pages of crap were generated leading up to the release of 0.9, and that is not helpful.

5a. Places where you can't have fun suck, so when an update is confirmed near (Previous thread locked/removed, Tdev posting Europe's the final countdown, or otherwise alluding to writing a blogpost or something) you can have 2 memes/shitposts. Anything over that would be considered spam, and should be removed. Go read a book, take a walk, play Beamng or anything else while we wait for it to be released.
​

6. Report any rule breaking posts and move on. Do not reply to the post, do not mention the off topicness, do not pass go, do not collect $200. That just gives the moderators more work.

 

What about a half cab for the hopper?

 

There was this page that had all the translation files and you could find the name for the town in the Italy map and the bioms and what it was suitable for, can't find it now though

 

It's here on this page: Translation
Scroll down to "How to use it ingame".

The file is still there to be downloaded but i don't know if it has been altered.

 

or even a scrambler style model, with a long wheel base:

 

Don't worry guys, next update will be 8 months later

(unfunny joke)

 

also as they said the ETK K series is not finished but when are they going to finish it or even to add parts and config

 

I would love to see some sort of company representative variant of the 98 pessima maybe it could of been used by someone working for BeamNG as it seems to be a big company in the BeamNG universe.

 

I don't know if this is related to the next update or not, but currently the Soliad Wendover topic has been removed from Content Created by Beamng. I searched for it and it doesn't come up.

 

Awesome! Genuinely wasn't expecting this but I'm glad they implemented it!

 

Travel trailer here!

Is there a BeamNG Steam Group BTW? For card swapping purposes

Hopper checking in...


I'm really digging this art style ... the glowing windshield and headlights, with a contrasting colour in the background - It's very well done!

Oddly, the Grand Marshal seems to have yellow headlights and a blue windshield - can anyone confirm this?
