Posting this here too as many don't read the wiki (imported from here) OutGauge OutGauge paired with LFS Dashboard for Android will allow your device to show useful on-screen information such as a speedo or tachometer over your wireless network. 1. LFS Dashboard The first thing you will need is an app called LFS Dashboard, it can be found on the Google Play Store. This app will allow you to seamlessly stream useful information from BeamNG.drive straight to your Android device. Download and install it, then proceed to step 2. Download LFS Dashboard: HERE 2. Editing outgauge.lua For LFS Dashboard to connect to BeamNG.drive, you'll need to make a few edits to the lua file containing all the OutGauge settings. This file can be found in lua\vehicle\outgauge.lua, open it with Notepad++ or similar. The first thing you will need to do is to edit "OutGauge_Enabled" and change it to "true". (Line 10, outgauge.lua) The next step, "OutGauge_IP", is the IP address of your Android device, you can find this by going into Settings > About Phone/Tablet, in the new pop-up menu, you should find "IP Address" with a number below it, this is the IP address of your device, it should look like "192.168.178.29" or similar, enter this number in the OutGauge config file. (Line 12, outgauge.lua). [TABLE="width: 1573"] [TR] [TD="class: gutter"]1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12[/TD] [TD="class: code"]-- This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the bCDDL, v. 1.1. -- If a copy of the bCDDL was not distributed with this -- file, You can obtain one at http://beamng.com/bCDDL-1.1.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Settings: -- enables/disables OutGauge local OutGauge_Enabled = true -- the IP Address of the OutGauge Device local OutGauge_IP = '192.168.1.1'[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 3. Enabling LuaSocket The final step is to enable the use of LuaSocket. Simply right click BeamNG.drive in your Steam inventory > click properties > set launch options & enter "-luasocket" 4. Play! Make sure LFS Dashboard is running on your Android, then launch BeamNG.drive. As soon as the vehicle spawns, you should see your RPM jump up. If it does not, you most likely got one of the steps wrong, so it's safe to recheck.
I have read the Instructions carefully and had a look again and again with the IP address number and made sure i enabled it but for some reason the RPM doesnt come up and i keep having a LUA error like this that seems to lead to the outgauge file 125.882350|BEAMNG| ERR | lua/vehicle/outgauge.lua:108: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'gear_M' (a nil value) Does anyone have an idea whats going on? I also left the log file for anyone who knows LUA very well.... also i haven't been messing around with the Outgauge file
Yep I checked everything. Made sure all the numbers from the android phone are correct and they still don't respond. Have u got any idea? :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I thought I would never see the day that the LFS dash would be used for BeamNG...epic work man...best hack so far for a program to be used for a different game!!! all I get on my phone is this "fe80::2ee:bdff:feb0:f0f4%wlan0:4444" wtf....
Yeah. I done that. Still no response. I will try again later. Thanks for ur help. Dummiesman Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
do you mean mine? Never mind the problem resolved itself...I hate how it came up with that Hex code.....
Changing local OG_KM = 16384 to local OG_KM = 16384999 or another random number is the only way I've got it to work.
The Gauges also need to adjust but I doubt you can do that with that application...pity we couldnt have a BeamNG version of this app...
I think it would be a nice challenge if you did build this for BeamNG but thats if your WILLING to accept this challenge....
