Forget GTA V. BeamNG is going to be released in less than 24 hours!

[QUOTE=Sesshomaru-;41714100]Has anyone managed to add another engine to any of the cars? Not literally have two engines, but a new engine added to the ctrl + e menu.

Choose the van you want as your vehicle, then spawn the vehicle that you're gonna crash into it via the editor and switch to it with tab.

[b]EDIT:[/b]

Figured out how to add new engines! It's actually a lot simpler than I thought it was; simply make a copy of <carname>_engine.jbeam, paste it (with a different name), open it up and change "<carname>_engine_whatever" to something different, it should automatically show up in the parts list.

Oh my god, the hatchback with the supercars engine is just hilarious :v:[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=RedStar;41716799]It's actually pretty well optimized, and it should run well if you don't mind your computer sounding like a Hoover. (Saying this coming from a low-end dual core AMD and 5gb of ram.)[/QUOTE]

How well does the alpha run compared to the techdemo?

[Big Ben]

Aww, the tech demo doesn't have fun stuff like new cars and different levels.

Right now inter-vehicle part swapping doesn't really work well because of the scaling system (which will be fixed/removed). Basically each car has numbers that globally scale things like stiffness/strength/weight (for quick tuning) and the numbers are different from car to car. So if you copy a part from one car and use it in another car with the different scaling values it'll wreak havoc and probably break everything.

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;41716986]So they're using some engine called Torque 3D, right?

What happened to using CryEngine 3?[/QUOTE]

It's most likely because Torque went open source back in 2012.

[I]For a lot of reasons, that is[/I]

That's why I didn't copy the exact parts from the other cars to the hatch; I made a copy of an the pre-existing hatchback engine, then copied the rpm and torque values from the engine I was making to get the desired performance. It seemed to work perfectly without any scaling issues; the hatch is lighter than the other cars, so as expected, the beefier engines give beefier power output.

I haven't figured out how to get 4WD on the hatchback, nor have I managed to add a transmission yet. Seems to be a bit touchy.

[Lyokanthrope]

I think Crytek wanted them to actually license CE3 which costs a metric fucktonne

Well, for the hatchback, it was hatch_engine.jbeam. I renamed it (for the extreme tuned variety) to hatch_engine2.jbeam and the file line to hatch_engine2.

Do mesh roads and convex shapes made by the sketch tool not collide?

[All0utWar]

Is there a tutorial for the editor? I can't figure out how to even switch cars.

Press F1 for most of the controls, use the [URL="http://wiki.beamng.com"]official wiki[/URL]and look up guides for Torque 3D. Also, its CTRL+E for vehicle selection.

Yes, I think those features are broken (they're Torque3D features, not BeamNG features)

Their physics ran better on Torque3D in addition to it being open-source.

So basically they could get better optimization, do a shitload more stuff with the engine and not having to pay a lot of money to do so.

Did you mix that song in Garageband yourself?

On topic, really excited for the demo derby. The alpha just released a few days ago, right? Any word from the devs on their update schedule?

Would you mind adding an FAQ section to the OP? A few people keep asking about inverting the mouse:

[QUOTE=Trumple;41704043]Tutorial for inverting mouse y-axis:

1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\BeamNG-Techdemo-0.3\scripts\client\

(or C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG-DRIVE-0.3\scripts\client)

2. Open default.bind.cs

3. Locate function at line 135:

function pitch(%val)
{
   %pitchAdj = getMouseAdjustAmount(%val);
   if(ServerConnection.isControlObjectRotDampedCamera())
   {
      // Clamp and scale
      %pitchAdj = mClamp(%pitchAdj, -m2Pi()+0.01, m2Pi()-0.01);
      %pitchAdj *= 0.5;
   }

   $mvPitch += %pitchAdj;
}

4. Change the %val on line 137 to -%val:

function pitch(%val)
{
   %pitchAdj = getMouseAdjustAmount(-%val);
....

Much better![/QUOTE]

Maybe add some how to videos. I made one a few posts back on how to spawn another car in a map. Feel free to link it, or embed, whatever. I will probably make some more map editor tutorials.
