What killed ROR? How do you even kill a game like that?

We aren't mean to new people, just to shitposters and people who disregard our advice on how to become a better and more productive poster

E.g. you

[Beach time]

im also on beamNG so that will be killed SHORTLY. Well done posting off too bed i go.

Gee I can't think of a single reason why people would be mean to you "NEW" people. You've contributed so much quality discussion to this thread. Please continue.

Having too much fun with this, bought the alpha only after 30 minutes in the demo. Driving with the arrow keys was a bit annoying though so I switched them to WASD. Just open up /scripts/client/inputmaps/keyboard.inputmap.cs and switch the first 4 set moveMap.binds to left/up etc. and the next 4 to WASD.

How was it that you could un-invert the mouse? I did something stated earlier in this thread, but then the game wouldn't register the mouse when not in the editor?
It would be nice to get a list of tips on what to do with the game, things that makes it more playable, like wasd controls, proper mouse AI spawning, also on some looked over controls in the game.

I had to wipe my game because of that mouse bug, and now I can't remember all the stuff I did to the game.. :)

0. When modding the game files, don't open the game through the updater, it will undo your changes. Simply go to the game directory and run BeamNGSandbox.x86.exe

1. for better joystick controls, go to game/lua/vehicle/input.lua change both steeringRate multipliers to 3 at line 170 and 171.

[editline]12th August 2013[/editline]

2. for AI,
- go to [URL]http://www.beamng.com/threads/2088-Enable-AI[/URL]
- download the .rar file at the bottom.
- both files go to the game/lua/system directory. Don't forget to backup the original simpleAI.lua file. - then go to the editor, spawn a car and switch to it, press CTRL+t, configure the AI, click done and switch back to the car you want to be driving. The other car should now chase or flee from you.

[editline]12th August 2013[/editline]

3. How to un-invert the mouse:
- Go to gamefolder/scripts/client
- Backup default.bind.cs
- Open original default.bind.cs in a text editor.
- Scroll down to find the part

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

   $mvYaw += %yawAdj;
}

Change that part to

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

   $mvYaw += %yawAdj;
}

- save file
- go into game, start a map, and rejoice as the camera in now better.

That is a good pack to mess around with.

[editline]12th August 2013[/editline]

Anyone got anymore stuff to do? What are the keys to switch translation mode? moving, scale and rotating.

You should make an open Google document:

Changing to WASD:
[QUOTE=Trumple;41707835]
For those of you who want to change from arrow keys to WASD:

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

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

2. Change this code at the top:

moveMap.bind( keyboard, left, steer_left );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, right, steer_right );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, up, accelerate );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, down, brake );

to this:

moveMap.bind( keyboard, a, steer_left );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, d, steer_right );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, w, accelerate );
moveMap.bind( keyboard, s, brake );

Inverting mouse Y axis
[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;
}

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

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

Much better![/QUOTE]

Editing car configs
[QUOTE=Trumple;41704205]Hey remember all those hours spent modifying GTA config files to make cars ridiculous?

You can do the same here, it's bloody hilarious.

Edit the file at C:\Program Files (x86)\BeamNG-Techdemo-0.3\vehicles\<vehicle_name>\<vehicle_name>_engine.jbeam

(or C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG-DRIVE-0.3\vehicles\<vehicle_name>\<vehicle_name>_engine.jbeam)

Use Notepad++ or some other text editor to edit it (Notepad may not work well)

You might want to edit the following:

    "enginetorque":[
        ["rpm", "torque"]
        [0, 0],
        [500, 650],
        [1000, 930],
        [2000, 1320],
        [3000, 1430],
        [4000, 1480],
        [5000, 1530],
        [6000, 1440],
        [7000, 1220],
        [7500, 910],
    ],
    "engine":{
        "idleRPM":1000,
        "shiftDownRPM":3400,
        "shiftUpRPM":6400,
        "maxRPM":7500,
        "inertia":0.08,
        "friction":16
        "brakingCoefRPS":0.15
        "burnEfficiency":0.5
        "throttleSensitivity":1.2
        },

Maybe make a backup before you make changes. I'd recommend editing torque and then editing <vehicle_name>_wheels_F.jbeam (or ..._R.jbeam) and editing the the tire options to change the friction coefficient (so it can grip at high torque):

            //tire options
            {"wheelTreadBeamSpring":341000,"wheelTreadBeamDamp":70,"wheelTreadBeamDeform":38000,"wheelTreadBeamStrength":38000},
            {"wheelPeripheryBeamSpring":341000,"wheelPeripheryBeamDamp":70,"wheelPeripheryBeamDeform":38000,"wheelPeripheryBeamStrength":38000},
            {"springExpansion":1361000, "dampExpansion":12},
            {"nodeWeight":0.48},
            {"nodeMaterial":"|NM_RUBBER"},
            {"frictionCoef":1.1},

{"frictionCoef":1.1} is what needs changing, experiment!
[/QUOTE]

Those are the ones I posted, if people could find their own tips they posted that would be easier. There are some for editing skins etc.

[Dohman]

I will start a document and make it public once I'm done getting this stuff in there :)

[editline]12th August 2013[/editline]

I'm new to google docs, is it necessary to backup the document? I found the revision history, so wouldn't that be enough? The doc is ready.

[editline]12th August 2013[/editline]

I'd like to setup a set of rules:

1. Don't remove anything, unless you added it yourself.
2. If you want something removed, add it in a comment. If it's something really bad, like child porn, feel free to remove it, but with most other stuff, you should just make a comment, stating that it's wrong, what would fix the error and all that jazz.
3. I'm hoping the people with this link will have some honor, and not delete everything or what ever they might do to ruin the file, or the purpose of it.

If things go sideways, I will have to disable the editing, and only give editing rights to a selected couple of people that can be trusted. The rest of the people can comment, but that would be it, so PLEASE, do not ruin this, for everyones sake.

Here's the link to the document: [URL]https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C9Aeh5qKMPEWyA5dZslgKN49PzhhQPbBv7YlCHZdR7I/edit[/URL]
The same code of conduct applies in the document as here on Facepunch.

Has anyone noticed the cars have become more rigid recently?

I'm not finding it as fun now because they stay in shape more than they used to.

[Squeegy Mackoy]

So I thought the AI was stupid because they didn't use their rear ends enough when ramming.

Then I realised I'm stupid because the AI script is right in front of me and I can edit it to my heart's content.

[QUOTE=uitham;41810211]So this can't run on 2 GB ram?[/QUOTE]

Not very well, but it's possible. I run it on 2 GB ram, and I'd say it's playable on low settings, especially on simple maps like the grid maps.

Nah, it's time for an upgrade anyways, I am having a lot of crashing issues with modern games lately, which are likely out of memory crashes.

The problem is, for the ram I need to get a 64 bit processor, for which I need another motherboard, and likely a new power supply too.

...or just simply buy everything and keep the hdd's :v:

In other news: Penis Colada (the vehicle designer) hasn't strengthened the cars' structures at all. He's just made some cars' steering stronger.

[Mitchd03]

"Civetta is now more stable"
Nope.

"Manual now works"
Worked before if you pressed Q. Now I have to press Q to get back to automatic. Waiting for auto cars to be auto with PRND21 and manual cars to be manual.

"Stronger steering on pickup"
If I turn full lock left or right, with off-road differentials, and floor it with the v8 motor, the inside steering snaps.

Anyone else the same? I haven't tried the AI yet.

[Dohman]

Has the AI been implemented yet? As in can it be activated without modding the files now?
