[bright frost]

I love this

https://github.com/StanleyDudek/CareerMP/releases/tag/v0.0.34

[long pilot]

so i keep trying to download this map for a server but its not downloading, i got enough room and cant seem to get past this loading bar

[errant yarrow]

pretty sure that's the Los Angeles map
played it once over a year ago but the style is very recognizable

[untold tree]

looks about right, thx

[lavish prism]

how can you upload photos???

[green ice]

gotta talk for a while

[meager lotus]

how fix this with architecht roads, all roads on hills are slanted and not flat

[stable pebble]

made it edit the join message so i can see as soon as someone connects but is downloading, then update the message once they fully load in, instead of posting a seperate message

[stable pebble]

merged the discord bot into the beammp server manager :)

[bright frost]

Super neato

[leaden oar]

Hey what are the odds someone here would join my BeamMP test server and sit in there for a minute while I ran I diagnostic command console side?

Im working on a fully server authoritative CareerMP, economy, gamesaves, everything is held and validated within the server instead of clientside.

I need to generate a user report of everything that happens between the client/server on server connect to find out why CareerMP is taking an accessive amount of time to initialize.

[orchid aspen]

Hey! I just released a new Zone Script for BeamMP

It lets admins create a custom zone that gradually shrinks over time — and if you step outside... well, you're done. The script automatically detects when a player leaves the boundary and triggers an explosion to eliminate them from the round

Everything is highly configurable, so you can tweak it to fit your server perfectly.

Great for quick events, mini battle royale modes, sumo, or just adding some chaos and pressure to your gameplay.

you can check it out on my patreon!

[hardy merlin]

You are truly asking money for something this simple wow

[orchid aspen]

if its that simple why no one ever did this? i put the lowest price i can on patreon

[hardy merlin]

Is just crazy to me mate

[orchid aspen]

if you want it for free you can always ask or made it yourself, scripting is not an easy thing to do and peoples ask for many more money from simple things

[hardy merlin]

local vehicle = getPlayerVehicle(0)
local veh_pos = vehicle:getPosition()
local zone_pos = vec3(0, 0, 0)
local current_zone_range = 400
local is_inside = veh_pos:dist(zone_pos) < current_zone_range
if not is_inside then
  -- explode car
end

I mean this is the basic logic of this kind of game

is just crazy to me how something that simple would go for 4€. is all im saying

[orchid aspen]

yeah no, it is not that simple

[hardy merlin]

Well without the ability to click on the product and see what it exactly does i can only imagine this simple form. How much more complex does it need to be?

Honestly curious in what way the base logic needs to be extended

Whys a simple rad check not enough?

[granite verge]

it would not be if you wanted a square shape for instance but oh well

[orchid aspen]

Look, that snippet you sent is just basic math that works in a single-player vacuum. Turning that into a functional, synchronized multiplayer mod is a completely different story. Here’s what you’re missing. Network Synchronization: In BeamMP, you have to sync the zone’s position, radius, and shrink state across the server and every single client. If it's not perfectly synced, players explode on one screen while being safe on another. That’s the hardest part to get right. It’s not a hardcoded script. It has a full command system (/setzone, /setzonespeed, /setzonelimit) so players can trigger events anywhere, anytime, without touching the code. Smooth Shrinking, the radius is calculated using DeltaTime (dt) so it shrinks smoothly regardless of server lag or player FPS. Visuals, it includes a synced 3D renderer for the cylinder so everyone actually sees the boundary in real-time. You’re not paying for '5 lines of math,' you’re paying for a tested, plug-and-play tool that handles all the networking headaches for you. If it were as easy as your snippet, every server would have it already, but they don't.

[granite verge]

bold of you to assume every server would want such a plugin

it's like saying every Minecraft server should have Mekanism

[orchid aspen]

That’s missing the point. I never said every server needs it, i said if it were as ''easy as 5 lines of code'' to make it work properly, you’d see it everywhere because anyone could whip it up in 2 minutes. It’s not about being a 'must-have' for everyone, it’s about providing a polished, bug-free tool for those who do want to host these events without wasting time on networking issues and manual setup. Huge difference between a game-changing mod like Mekanism and a specialized event tool.

[granite verge]

every server would have it already
you literally said it would be a must-have if it was simple
also why are you using AI formulation in your messages

[hardy merlin]

Thats not what i ment, every mp mod has todo that. I mean the core detection logic. If you say its a 2d plane sure its still simple

local is_inside = vpos.x >= ppos_min.x and vpos.x <= ppos_max.x and vpos.y >= ppos_min.y and vpos.y <= ppos_max.y

It get more funny if we make that plane rotatable as then we have to perform a vertices check. But still. In my mind thats to simple to ask money for. You do you, but for me, i couldnt

[orchid aspen]

I use AI to help with my English because it's not my native language and I want to be clear. If that’s your only 'gotcha' left, it’s a bit weak. As for the logic: sure, a simple radius or vertex check is 'simple' math. But a script isn't just a formula in a textbook. It’s the event loop, the players UI, the network optimization, the error handling, and the visual feedback. If you feel it's too simple to pay for, that’s totally fair—nobody is forcing you. But I’m selling a finished, working product that saves people time and effort. I’m confident in the work I put into it. Let’s just agree to disagree and move on. Cheers!

[hardy merlin]

Oh you made a ui for it as well? mind showing?

[orchid aspen]

It’s integrated into the player's screen with dynamic warnings and status updates. If you want to see the full experience in action, you’re welcome to join the patreon. As I said, it’s a finished product, not just a snippet.

[granite verge]

it's not a weak argument tho, you could just use a simple translator instead of using an AI
Google translate has become very good these days, and it doesn't reformulate your true thoughts.

[hardy merlin]

Unlocking the post costs 4€. Id have to pay for the product before i can even see what it can do

Curious to see that ui really

[orchid aspen]

AI is just a more efficient tool for me than Google Translate, same way this script is a more efficient tool than writing your own sync logic. It’s not that deep. Let’s stick to the mod itself.

[granite verge]

it's like paying for RAM without knowing the capacity

[hardy merlin]

True mystery box

Well except they atleast note down in detail what may be inside

[granite verge]

what may be inside

[hardy merlin]

[orchid aspen]

The UI consists of dynamic screen notifications (similar to other popular event scripts) that track the zone's status, warnings when you're exiting the boundary, and elimination alerts. It’s designed to be clean and non-intrusive while keeping everyone informed. Regarding the Patreon link – this is actually my first time using the platform and I didn't realize the post settings hidden the description/preview from non-patrons. I'm still figuring out how to set it up so the info is public while the download remains for supporters. I'll fix the post and upload the screenshots/clips as soon as i have time.

[hardy merlin]

Cool 🍻

[violet frigate]

People are spending years making high quality mods while you throw this through ai and then callout the people who see the bs. And they charge even less!! You gotta be trolling

[orchid aspen]

You’re comparing car mods to server scripts—they are two completely different things. High-quality vehicle mods take years of 3D modeling and Jbeam work. Server utilities like this are about networking, logic synchronization, and providing a plug-and-play experience for hosts. As for the AI: I used it to improve my English and communication and pure utterance, not to write the logic for me. Using tools to work more efficiently doesn't make the end product 'BS.' If you don't think a fully synced, ready event tool is worth a few bucks, that’s your opinion. But don't disrespect the work that goes into making things actually work in a multiplayer environment. If it’s so easy and low-quality, feel free to ignore it.

also, if i can i will put it at lower price, i just dont know where to put it with lower price, patreon is only website i know

[bright frost]

Kengar you're probably gonna be frustrated with the reception of your content if you only provide it this way.

I release everything I make free and unrestricted on GitHub for a variety of reasons, one of the leading reasons being low friction of public use

You need to do a little reflection on what your goal is

Would you prefer higher adoption of your content, public interest, and community contributions and improvement,

Or

Constantly explaining why your content is paid and then further justifying the cost, when you'd much rather people just use it

You'll find people commenting on it a lot, because it is out of the ordinary

[bright frost]

I make more complex products than your game mode and I hate to say that yes I am biased but no I do not think charging for it is going to do you any favors

[orchid aspen]

I appreciate the honest feedback, Dudekahedron. You’re right I’d much rather see people actually using the script and hosting events than spending my time defending a price tag. Adoption and community growth are more important to me than a few euros. I’ve decided to move the project to GitHub and make it free for everyone. I'll be keeping the Patreon as a purely optional way for people to support my work if they want to, including other scripts I'm developing (not just for BeamNG). I'm still learning how to navigate the release side of things, so thanks for pointing me in a better direction. I'll drop the GitHub link once it's ready!

[bright frost]

Thanks for the measured response, and I DO look forward to following along and trying out what you're working on

[leaden oar]

Hey what are the odds someone would join my test server for a few minutes and then leave

I need to record some delays happening before my CareerMP mod syncs. Seems like I might be having a client/server ack issue.

[stable pebble]

still need help? i can join for a sec

[leaden oar]

Hey some random actually joined at some point. I think it's just called TShadows test server or something.

I'm working on an update right now. Once it's done you can join an test at any point.

If you do join just let me know if you are stuck in free mode cam or get the CareerMP stuff.

[leaden oar]

Alright I released the next update. Just join when you can for a couple mins then leave. Let me know if you made it to anything CareerMP related or if you got stuck in freecam. Ill leave the server up. Its called T-Shadow Mod Test Server

[stable pebble]

Added 10s of no collisions upon race start just incase someone slower is in front of you or AFK

Added spectator teleporting, when not in queue for the flood it teleports you to the top of the race track at the begining of a race so you're not in the way of active racers

[orchid aspen]

Thanks again for the feedback, it really helped me see the bigger picture. As promised, I’ve moved the project to GitHub and it's now available for everyone for free.

GitHub Link: https://github.com/Kengar-del/BeamMP-ZoneMod

I’ve also updated the Patreon to be just an optional way to support my work for those who want to. Hope you guys enjoy the script and I'm looking forward to seeing some cool events with it!

[stable pebble]

Might use something like that on the outbreak gamemode once I start messing with it

[stable pebble]

Gonna have to come up with a way to establish a play area around the infected player and make sure other players don't leave the area lol

[bright frost]

If survivor or infected get a certain distance away from origin of play area, instead of exploding as in the dynamic shrinking zone, teleport them at the shortest path to being back into the zone?

Safe teleport them back to any random coordinate within the play area so chasing players that leave the area don't all get teleported back into a pile

IDK I think you'll find a solution

[stable pebble]

That's kinda what I was thinking, give them a little 3 second count down before it teleports them back into the area

[bright frost]

yes allowing them to self correct would be wise

[stable pebble]

added disqualification to the gamemode if checkpoints are skipped so the race isn't locked if someone wants to take a shortcut or something

[stable pebble]

added in vehicle checkinghttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/261578855838384129/1500744805934829639/image.png?ex=69f98d04&is=69f83b84&hm=cf04f1f546825c675e4d2e35cfa09b97f5d8ed31cca0df938dbfc1c71a45b8c9&

[tepid narwhal]

does anyone have a good racing gamemode that i could use on my server?

BeamNG Local Splitscreen

I got local splitscreen working, by running BeamMP Server and then starting up two game instances (both through BeamMP client) via a custom handler for Nucleus Coop. Sound is coming from both instances, separate controller input and relatively good performance (although one window feels a bit more responsive than the other).

Sorry for the crappy videos (*whoops, just noticed I can't upload any images/videos atm?), kinda hard to handle two controllers separately. I'll write up a more detailed guide later this week. 🙂

Software specs

• Windows 11
• BeamNG.drive 0.38.5 (build 19602)
• BeamMP Server + Client 2.8.0
• Nucleus Co-op 2.3.0
• 3840x2160 @60Hz
• One instance on low, the other on normal settings

System specs

• 2x XBOX Series X Robot White controllers
• 12th Gen Intel i7-12700KF, 3600 MHz
• 32 GB RAM
• NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080 10GB DDR6
• Yes I'm playing on a beamer

Game mechanics

It definitely feels more brittle than the regular solo game (windows loosing focus is THE HORROR) but it works well enough. Navigating through the menus is a bit of a hassle but fine.

[true iron]

If anyone has any advice, i'm trying to make a mod in beamng that replicates the car my collegate engineering design team makes. I've never made a mod before but as of now I have nodes and beams for the frame all set up but cant figure out out to overlay my 3d model onto it. Any help would be appreciated!

[true iron]

willing to venmo $5 if you can help me fix this ^^^

[stable pebble]

Just a little hud preview for the circuit racing gamemode

[bright frost]

Oh sick

[stable pebble]

Needs a little tweaking still but good enough for now lol

[hardy merlin]

Is that for beamjoy?

[stable pebble]

Don't know what that is, I'm making the gamemode from scratch

[hardy merlin]

Its a all in one mega framework

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-lbXQDEz-o

[stable pebble]

Ah okay, not for that unfortunately, stealing bits and pieces from my flood and touge gamemode

That looks pretty sick not gonna lie, just need a decent hud setup to make it feel more authentic

[hardy merlin]

Yes it was made using imgui

its open source all aswell

[stable pebble]

I may have to look into making a hud for it and releasing it lol

[hardy merlin]

That be dope ngl

[ruby badger]

@hardy merlin what do you think?

[hardy merlin]

I like it alot. it fits the surrounding ui as well

[ruby badger]

my goal was to make it as seamless as possible. it is eerily similar to career mode's pause menu if you compare them

same section layout, same button design, same header design

some of the same translation strings XD

same font too

[stable pebble]

Looks good :)

[stable pebble]

Got the basic circuit racing gamemode done, just gotta tweak it a bit

[ruby badger]

UNHOLY md-select css configuration

but IT WORKS

IT WORKS

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stable pebble]

oh thats pretty slick :D

just polishing up the circuit gamemode now :)

adding in some checks so that people can't just idle in a race to keep it running forever(hard coded time limit per race), skipped checkpoints DNF's you, queuing without a car removes you from the queue if you dont have a car by the time the race fires off

[drowsy fossil]

so I am creating my own RP mod for our server, but I would like to incorporate into it a function that disables clients from using their own client side mods. Could someone point me in the direction as to where I could find such mod?

[stable pebble]

I use a custom vehicle guard script but I thought I saw somewhere there was a way to block actually loading the mods, might be part of beamjoy

'''Prevent users from activating their own mods and disrupting the server experience'''

https://github.com/my-name-is-samael/BeamJoy

I might have to look into the code to see how it's achieved

[drowsy fossil]

yeah, I impliemented a mix of that and cobalt already, i might remake it all together

[stable pebble]

would be nice if it was just an option on the server config to allow or not allow client mods lol

got it working as a standalone, can't enable or disable mods once in the server and it also unloads all mods that aren't on the server when they join :) credit to beamjoy for the snippets tho

[bright frost]

Does it handle loose unzipped mods in the top level of the user folder?

[stable pebble]

loose unzipped on the client??

[bright frost]

Right

[stable pebble]

uhhh if you instruct me on how to do that i can test it lol

never have i ever unzipped a mod on the client

[bright frost]

Standard "unstoppable" sideload method, you just place whatever folders are in a mod directly into the /current folder

Instead of as a zip in /mods

[stable pebble]

lemme figure out how to get there, iirc its in %appdata%

[bright frost]

So if for example a mod zip has like /lua and /scripts and /ui at the top level, and you place those in the user folder, then the game doesn't even treat like a mod, but as actual core game files

Beyond targeting extensions by blacklist or whitelist I can't imagine how to address it

[stable pebble]

gotcha, just added the delorian to my folder

does not block tht

but if they're loading in custom cars i can block them from spawning all together

[bright frost]

If it is a vehicle it may not even have extension to block

But yes, in combination you can probably address it

[stable pebble]

already got vehicle blocking

i will test rn

[bright frost]

However someone can easily run a modified level loose in their user folder

Or any modified lua

Or any modified ui

If done loose instead of packed, it doesn't touch mod management

[stable pebble]

that makes sense....

together it can at least block cars

[bright frost]

That's easy, now block someone using a custom terrain that gives them advantage

[stable pebble]

doubt i could pull that off rofl

feel like that's something that needs built into the beammp client

[bright frost]

Vehicles can trivially managed on a server with no client plugin, only a list of valid spawnable items is needed

[stable pebble]

yea i meant the map thing

[bright frost]

A client mod could inspect every directory in a user folder to tell what's there, however

With a little (a lot, probably) of logic, one could say "that shouldn't be there" and boot a player

[stable pebble]

yea only thing i can think off the top of my head is some sort of md5 signature scanning

[bright frost]

Series of criteria to meet

Does levels directory exist?

If so, not an issue, but does a level matching the servers currently loaded level exist?

That's a red flag

And so on for /lua

/ui, and so on

[stable pebble]

Yeeeep

I dunno if there's even a file function that can read all that lol

[bright frost]

There are

FS.

Or

Sorry, that's server

But you can on the client too

No I was right!

It's FS on the client as well

@stable pebble no problem

[stable pebble]

i may look into it lol

[bright frost]

Just the exists are enough if you know what you are looking for

[bright frost]

And yeah, IMO a simple proof of concept is

deny players with modified levels folder for the current server level

after that, I believe you could enforce a clean user folder and I'd love to see it in action

[stable pebble]

@bright frost think it works for cars now just need to test levels

[stable pebble]

LOL

for levels should i just be checking for a .ter file since most other stuff wouldn't effect anything?

[bright frost]

Well, that's a good question, and is based on how sensitive you want to be

A good working level has no business having anything in the user folder /levels

However

[stable pebble]

I had stuff in that folder that i never added manually lol

[bright frost]

Many mods leave junk behind that gets generated there

Yes, exactly

[stable pebble]

like such

[bright frost]

So, the real crunch is in how does one determine what's an issue

Yes, a .ter in a level folder in the user folder would be a modified terrain

But also

Json could define no obstacles on the map at all

So

It gets complex fast unless you're say, zero tolerance, and a user must have no levels folder at all

If you're bold, you could even provide a way for players who know it's not a problem to clean that folder

Not ideal in MP

But still

You can at least see where I'm going

[stable pebble]

that was exactly what i was thinking, a button that deletes the said violations

with a big warning or something lol

[bright frost]

If you let them do that while on server they will need a reconnect

[stable pebble]

that is fine lol

[bright frost]

The kick could happen in response to their cleaning action

etc etc

[stable pebble]

yep yep

[bright frost]

Thousand ways to approach it

[stable pebble]

but if the functions are already loaded client sided and the lua engine is still running because they haven't clicked quit/disconnect yet

wouldn't need to let them stay in the server to delete said issues

[bright frost]

Hey there, possible is a solution yes, kick them, but instruct them to NOT return to menu, but continue offline and use your method to clean, and then try again

I think it could be cooked up for sure

BE CAREFUL, obviously

[stable pebble]

yea obviously

would absolutely blow if i deleted my entire pc LOL

[bright frost]

It should be scoped to only the user folder but uhhhhh

You never know

[stable pebble]

yea lol there would be lots of debug beforehand ofc without the delete function just to make sure it's scoped correctly

[bright frost]

Do you have a personal discord server by the way or are you just freewheeling it here

[stable pebble]

I do have a DC for my servers, running more than beammp lol

[bright frost]

[ruby badger]

if any of you guys were wondering what (what might be?) the full changelog for my ui updates looked like

[stable pebble]

Finished it up, can block mods from mod manager, also blocks loose files in the client folder unless they match the version generated on the server by md5 hash, can also block spawning vanilla cars if you need that functionality

[forest wadi]

just gonna leave this here

bemp

[split jetty]

pardon my alt account

I just wanted to mention that if the user does not select a "content type", the python will error

[bright frost]

and pardon the atrocious photo

Also I guess the Browse button for the Output folder suggests by placement that it will open the path in the output folder field, however it opens the folder you previously selected to Add Target

Again sorry for photos, work PC is occupied

Apart from that it's super neat

[stable pebble]

will fix that error later tonight after work :) i should probably also mention to extract client mods that are for vehicles / levels lol

[ebon coral]

can anyone use this ı if is work tell or anything wrong tell me again

[stable pebble]

Hoping the Modcheck will help out some servers that want to keep players from loading mods

[dusty linden]

does your friends server have the mod loadedtoo? is it a mod that requires serverside loading?

i use an xbox controller or I would try and replicate your issue for me, sorry I cant be any more help than general troubleshooting questions

hey, was wondering if people can provide some assistance? I've configured an MP server and I know how to assign permissions using the BeamJoy plugin.

Theres one thing I am struggling with, I can't seem to find a way to configure the server so that when you join, you spawn in a specific car. I want this to be the default action when joining so any players drop in and immediatley spawn in a Covet - I've tried looking through the documentation but either I've missed it, it's not documented, or i'm just plain silly sometimes. Can someone please help me with assistance to attain this configuration? Thanks in advance!

Can anyone assist me with trying to get a modded car to appear in the dealerships in CareerMP?

[ruby badger]

they just need to appear in regular career mode because careermp is just a extra layer that makes career mode compatible with multiplayer

[opaque wren]

But how do I do this?

I've edited the info.json and it still doesnt appear

"InsuranceClass":"dailyDriver",
"Region":"northAmerica",
"Population":"500000",
"Value":"5000",
"Config Type": "factory",

[ruby badger]

Config Type should be "Factory" not "factory"
you likely need

• "Configuration"
• "Drivetrain"
• "Fuel Type"
• "Power"

basically youll just need stuff that displays in the ui

also value is a number w/o ""

you could use info_350_us.json of the bolide as an example

Client folder

[oblique narwhal]

i tried it in client folder and it didnt work?

Did you restart the server? Also iirc this zip only has 8 images, you need 20 in total

They can be the same

There are 18 and there should be 18

[native hinge]

I only vaguely remember when we got a initial working version of the mod that it didn't have enough images

I am on my phone so I can't check that one

[oblique narwhal]

i have 9 images in it but i configured it for that

There is your issue

Beamng is configured to load 18,if it doesn't have 18 it loads some generic ones

[oblique narwhal]

and i tried client folder (zipped) and server folder (zipped and unzipped) and both didnt work

[native hinge]

So the chance of your appearing is half

[oblique narwhal]

ahhh ok

[errant yarrow]

Create your own images with the same names and overwrite the existing images

[native hinge]

^

[oblique narwhal]

ok brilliant thanks

ill see if it works

[native hinge]

The server folder is only for syncing certain scripts between players and console

This is one which affects the client and must be put into the client folder

[errant yarrow]

Duplicate your images
Basically, if you have the knowledge you can change the JS to whatever you want

9+9

[oblique narwhal]

it still dont work

🙁

[errant yarrow]

It works on my server and dozens of other servers, there's no reason it shouldn't work on yours
You're doing something wrong
Is this your first time putting a mod on your server?

[oblique narwhal]

bear with me

i messed it up

testing it again

nah its still not working

[errant yarrow]

Tell me in which path you put the folder
Did you restart the server?

[native hinge]

Also Post a screenshot of the folder where the images are

[oblique narwhal]

right

mb i got timeout for some reason

i cant send images here

dm?

[errant yarrow]

Don't touch JS if you don't understand it
Download the folder again and put it in the client folder
Restart the server and see if it works

[oblique narwhal]

JS?

[errant yarrow]

Don't change anything
Put it in the client folder and restart the server
If you get a picture like this, it means you succeeded

[oblique narwhal]

ok ill try that

[errant yarrow]

With a few minor changes you can do amazing things with it
This is how it looks on my server:

[oblique narwhal]

ahhh cool

i just want mine to show funny photos of my friends bc we only really play it

right#

i got it to work

how do i put my own photos in now

[errant yarrow]

Create images with the same name as the images in the folder: ui\scenic_route_loading\images and replace them with the existing images

[oblique narwhal]

does images size matter so if its a cropped image will it work

?

[errant yarrow]

Try

[oblique narwhal]

i got it working thanks

my images were the wrong format

[errant yarrow]

Wanted to show us the pictures?
That sounds kind of funny to me
*No seriously

[drowsy fossil]

I just want to say I am going to make a working version of cobalt essentials, with nametags and useable moderation actions’

[ruby badger]

yo thats codex and jeff

thats scenic route

thats me!!

yippeee

[ruby badger]

thats cooked but also useful at the same time xdd

it looks and sounds so silly but is informative

[real kernel]

@ruby badger any idea?

[ruby badger]

rain and snowfall maps are modded and i dont deal with rendering stuff

[real kernel]

problem was with vulkan, works fine on main

[ruby badger]

brother i dont work in rendering

[granite verge]

Vulkan has a kinda broken rendering engine

especially transparency, it's mostly visible with rain with car windows

[real kernel]

yeah i was telling you the solution mb sorry for confusion, basically vulkan has rendering issues

[granite verge]

the windows get masked with the rain

[real kernel]

yeah i managed to fix it

@granite verge

works in the normal version so its all good

[granite verge]

no need to ping twice yk

[real kernel]

ur right here so its fine

u dont get notifications when ur in the same chat while talking

[granite verge]

I still prefer Vulkan cuz lower CPU overhead

[real kernel]

Yeah i still run mostly on vulkan, im thinking only for rain/snow i'll have to resort to main

[granite verge]

I did get a notification cuz I switched to another app right after sending

[real kernel]

you quick with it

[granite verge]

I just don't care and accept that it's a game in development

[real kernel]

true im already having fun tweaking with the engine and pushing it to its max

[granite verge]

Vulkan allowed me to run BeamNG on literal ewaste

AMD Athlon 7120U

iGPU...

[real kernel]

ill be honest though.. the game actually runs BETTER for me on the main

[granite verge]

8GB soldered RAM...

[real kernel]

people are saying its better for AMD users to run vulkan whereas NVIDIA is better on main

is that true?

[granite verge]

there's many factors including VRAM consumption and DirectX driver quality

[real kernel]

i mean i have a rtx3090

so idk where that plays into the differences

im also running the game in 2k

[granite verge]

my GTX 1650 Super can run on high textures with DirectX while I have to set the textures on low when using Vulkan

otherwise I go above 4GB VRAM

[real kernel]

So it is true?

[granite verge]

mostly significant for low-VRAM cards

[real kernel]

Dang, i've been crashing out over why vulkan wasnt giving me better perf..

[granite verge]

MuYe's 4090 runs better on Vulkan

[real kernel]

How though

thats the thing its so confusing

everyones giving conflicting statements.. technically vulkan should run better for me but its not

i5 13600kf , RTX3090, 32gb DDR5 paired with the best NVMe ssd i could find

its not the worst pc either

[granite verge]

it depends on everything in the PC really

Vulkan is different so it has pros and cons

[real kernel]

let me show you differences in the performances.. in a clip

guess which one's vulkan/main

only main differences is that im using Reshade in 1 of the clip and a different skybox

everything else is basically the same settings

first clip is super choppy

2nd one is smooth as butter

[granite verge]

just look at my bio and you'll see what a budget buyer has

[real kernel]

dang 😭

do you have a clip of your gameplay or something im wondering whats the best you can get your game to look and run at the same time

[granite verge]

maybe the frames are not so bad but the 1% lows are
personally my game runs at a smooth 56 fps

but I'm rocking Linux though

[real kernel]

yeah 1% lows were dropping to LITERALLY 12 sometimes

on the 2nd one i easily did around 60

i even ran reshade, which uses more gpu

[granite verge]

well maybe if you had a frame limiter set on a lower setting you could get rid of the choppiness
but yh sometimes hw combos are weird

[real kernel]

i aint limiting my fps to 10 😭

[granite verge]

I'm glad we bought a DDR3 mobo back in 2015
we somehow knew RAMageddon was coming

[real kernel]

ddr3 is actually still really good, especially when its over 16gb

[granite verge]

if your game under Vulkan runs at 55 for instance you can set it to run at 50

[real kernel]

i bought ddr5 when it was cheap though

kinda lucky on that part

[real kernel]

Its trash on vulkan but yeah i get what you mean

[granite verge]

yea slow but big RAM will always be better than small but fast RAM (sure 64GB is overkill but you get me)

I have so much RAM that I've set my HDD as a swapping device to extend my SSDs lifespan

[real kernel]

definitely.

smart man right here

[granite verge]

wish I had some SODIMMs for my HP Pavilion DV6
4GB is a bit tight for normal life even with Linux Mint

[ruby badger]

I love the official beamng drive discord server

[slate dew]

they're a bunch of snowflakes there

and dumbasses

[slate dew]

they special

[plucky prawn]

Nothing useful in that dumpster of a server, just a bunch a mean cats.

[green ice]

this is absolute diamond

@tired turret you need an award for ts

How i can use custom made UI app on my custom server so players all see it and can interact with it. Also this custom UI App would understand to work with another mod? i still can't figure out how to use angularJS in mah multimode

i have app.json, but can't get it to work. Does it need to be another mod or can it be inside my mod? GUI works. Sry Rainless im still asking same stuff. i didnd tunderstand yesterday xd

also my english is so shit it makes things difficult xdd

[valid lake]

is the countdown function standard in beammp, or is that a mod? Also can I set up something like onUpdate() to run when the countdown is finished?

(I only used 'onUpdate' as an example of a function that I don't need to call, but gets called for me to run)

[scenic sand]

https://github.com/BeamMP/Docs/blob/main/docs/en/API documentation/Server-Side.md#mp--events

[scenic sand]

MP.CreateEventTimer(eventName, intervalMS, strategy?) ?

[merry flume]

Hey Fillman! Thanks for your mod tutorial videos, they really help!

[scenic sand]

had to check him out, intresting things there are definately 🙂

[valid lake]

yeah that's a lot of reading for someone who's so dyslexic. Does anyone have examples of what I'm asking for instead?

[scenic sand]

know the feeling

[scenic sand]

function timer()
if ???

MP.RegisterEvent("second", "timer")
MP.CancelEventTimer("second")
MP.CreateEventTimer("second", 1000)

like this?

[valid lake]

I figured it out, I used onChatMessage and check if sender was the server, and if the message was "Go!", and trigger the event that I wanted

[scenic sand]

that works too 😄

[ruby badger]

@bright frost i summon you

[limpid sedge]

I am wondering. I have multiple race missions I have created that take place at night. Is there a way to make sure the AI cars turn their lights on? Should I spawn in the cars using a prefab and then somehow give them AI?

[bright frost]

I don't go in there

[potent tusk]

Hey I got a general question: where do I find my files where I join servers? I'm trying to get a file out of a server that I joined for a map. Where do I find that in my local files on my computer?

[granite verge]

it's in the resources folder next to where the launcher is installed

[potent tusk]

No I'm talking about servers I joined to get the modded map

Basically I heard every time you join a server, it stores the files on your computer

[hardy merlin]

Yep as ff_66 said

[potent tusk]

So where do I find them there?

[hardy merlin]

next to the launcher

[granite verge]

in the resources folder

[hardy merlin]

where ever you have installed it

[potent tusk]

Me confused

[granite verge]

most ppl have it in %appdata% am I right

[hardy merlin]

Yes

or local appdata

[granite verge]

ye %localappdata%

[potent tusk]

?

[granite verge]

no wrong folder

[granite verge]

%appdata%\BeamMP-Launcher\Resources

[granite verge]

I still love how ppl don't realise this is an address bar
I had real trouble communicating with non-tech ppl

[potent tusk]

Oh

[viscid shuttle]

Hey all! I've recently got back into Career mode and I was wondering if there are any mods that I could run on my potato of a PC (AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics, 32.0 GB RAM, AMD Radeon Graphics ie no graphics card). I think I've seen some stuff where people have put actual IRL cars as traffic and stuff? And have like police and fines etc? A new way to earn money would also be cool. I'm somewhat sick of delivering for 2 hours straight to earn a grand or 2. I did see something about a mod that lets you sell dashcam footage to earn money, but I don't really want to go the illegal route, I want to play as a model citizen and work my way up to nicer cars.
