Update Speculation thread

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say.

 

The Gavril Roamer production dates as of version 0.12.0.3.5749 is from 1992-1999.

 

Guys look what i found on the beamng.gmbh site!

 

(O-O)


I wish...... :'''''(

 

The future of Beam.NG drive looks exciting...

 

Back when Beam was being conceived, it was meant to be mostly about bargain-barrel cars, and 80s stuff was the cheapest back in the early 2010s.

 

Well, it wouldn't have had a supercar as one of the first cars then, although that one is as cheap as a supercar can get.
Gabester has stated 80s cars are his favorites, so this is likely the main reason why there are so many of them in the game.

 

Anyone here have a 0.11 copy? If so, please DM me. It'll help with an investigation regarding the files that I'm working on.

Also, Italy seems to be getting closer than ever to completion. I honestly see it being ready for the next update, but who knows? The only way to know for certain is if we see complete pictures of the city and the various towns and villages. It'd be nice to know what the names are. We knew of Belasco before WCA was released, it'd be nice to know the names of the other cities.

 

As long as you're digging around in the files, would you mind checking to see if any of the characters in the "rocky start" campaign have full names? I'd like to get going on a section for the wiki.

If you're planning to work on lore on the wiki, DM me, as I'd love to help.

Also, I found the names...

The friend is called "Ricky" and the rival is called "Carson". Anna's name has always been known.

Hm. I found some files pertaining to a "Skin Wizard". Not sure if it's been discussed, but we could be seeing a skin editor.

Well, there's a new map in the works:

Possible void map. It seems to have more of a description than a test map though...

"Your handbrake turn wasn't flamboyant enough"

that's all we need to know.

also,

NPC traffic. Experimental

"ui.options.gameplay.traffic": "Enable traffic (experimental - extreme performance loss)",
"ui.options.gameplay.traffic.tooltip": "Requires manually spawning the desired vehicles"

this may be a new option in the pre-existing AI menu, especially due to the need to spawn the vehicles yourself!

either way, i KNEW wcusa looked too empty

 

Drat. I was hoping to get full names - we don't have those for any of the characters. The closest we can get is assuming that Anna's last name begins with "J". We might also assume that Mike's last name begins with C or B, given that he's likely one-half of that driving school.



Then there's the Mysterious Bob, his elusive truck, and his non-existent building.

Hmm... are there any unused buildings in the Utah files? That might give us a clue about Bob - whatever it is, there's something going into that parking lot that the Beam team has been keeping under wraps for a long time now.

 

No buildings that I know of besides an unused bridge. There are the ECA buildings in addition as far as I remember, but those tend to be in the map files for many maps.

 

Skin editor...
Doesn't you remember a gif or video from thomatoes50 bout dat ?
