Update Speculation thread

development screens is not for official contents, thats probably a map that nadeox is working on

 

I know it might be a long shot and dont blame me for the "Procedural"-part, thats from Nadeox. Being a dev and using the word Procedural to describe a vid of creating a street grid does make thoughts pop up, no denying in that.

 

Then its all on you Still looks intresting though!

 

Z-fighting?

 

The flickering that would happen with some objects when viewing it from far away.

 

I wonder if this could be like VRCity, where the dev-made mod is used to test something that will later be used in-game (VRCity was largely created to test the AI in an urban environment, a feature that became necessary for WCUSA)

 

Those have been there for a long time, and yeah it's a bit sad that there is no documentation about them since I would like to know how they work. I have had a couple projects where I would have needed the bed jbeam, or maybe I could have used this knowledge for my own jbeams.

 

Hmm, that's interesting.



Another interesting thing are ropes.
These came about around the same time I believe... I used it in the JBeam for my Blue Collar series tow truck;



I used it to give the towing cable a bit more of a lifelike motion whilst moving something.

Ropes work in 0.11, and I believe have been in the game since 2016, according to this thread;

https://www.beamng.com/threads/command-beams.27412/

There's stuff floating around that's supported in a JBeam that we probably don't even know about, and probably would be very useful for mod authors. Though, most of it's just dead stuff that is no longer needed because barely any RoR era modders are trying to make content for BeamNG with similar functionality to RoR mods (Which was the point of the linked thread in the first place.) Either that, or it's still a work-in-progress.

Really, the best way to figure out how something works is just to mess around with it and see what it does if there's no prior documentation to reference and pull from.


And the fun part is, you never know if it'll be in the next version of BeamNG or not

 

:thonk:

 

Nothing to do with the game
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus

 

I've always wanted to rip the interior out of a CAN bus equipped car and create a sim-rig, but I didn't know Beam.NG supported it! Well, i better kiss my bank account goodbye...

 

If the bus is named CAN I will give someone on this forum a cookie

 

I am aware of what CAN in that sense stands for, doesn't change the fact that if we get an official bus named CAN I am giving someone a cookie.

 

Hey, a new achievement?
Is it just me seeing this?

 

It's been there for days.
