Outdated Traffic Tool 1.2.1

Make sure you have latest version of the tool and the game, that usually happens if you have old version of the game, afaik.

 

So, going back to this, I was able to get it working! You can have AI spawning and driving while racing against an AI with the path you set.

Unfortunately the AI do not avoid anything in their way, which can lead to some very spectacular crashes...or end the race in the first corner. Depends how lucky you are with the spawning AI lol.

To do this is fairly simple, but as far as I can tell it has to be in this order, otherwise it won't work correctly.

• Replace your car with the one you want to race against. (Only one car should be on the map at this point)
• Drive the route you want it to follow.
• Set up the traffic tool as you normally would, # of cars, type, etc.
• Spawn the cars and enable AI.
• Press J to pause the physics.
• Now spawn the car you want to drive.
• J to unpause
• DRIVE!

At this time you can hit Play in the AI Script and the car will run the route you drove while the other AI spawn around you!!

NOTE: only you, if you let the AI Script vehicle go too far ahead it will not have vehicles spawning near it.

 

Just tried this mod, the traffic tool isnt working,I spawn the cars on normal mode and they dont drive

 

I cleared my UI after having some problems with it and now the Traffic Tool will no longer appear in the UI menu. All of my other UI mods show but not this one. I've tried manually installing it but nothing seems to work. Any help is welcome

 

.

My thought, I would love maintenance updates up until the time AI traffic is officially integrated into the base game. Any intel on when that might happen?

 

is there a way so that the traffic vehicles can be less detailed than that of the car you are driving?
for instance, a minimalistic engine and suspension model, and minimalistic interiors?
i think it would help in the way that the traffic is sometimes taxing on the cpu
--- Post updated ---
a sugestion that pops into mind is that setting that allows cars to pass through each other, maybe you could manipulate that so a traffic vehicle emits a range in which it is collideable, and when you are outside of that range it becomes non-collideable

 

At least two posters on this thread would be very happy of new bug fixes

 

Some suggestions:

1. Add "pd" and "sd" to the police config names, because many modders use the "bcpd" or "ecsd" names in configs instead of "police" one.
2. Avoid the cars, haves "police", "taxi" or "ambulance" names (for example) in his config names to recolor. Because i don't want to see the black-red police car.
3. Maybe make it independence from in-game AI. I wants to make a cop chase with civilian traffic cars but instead of this entire city attempt to kill me.

Thanks for the mod - really made me go back to BeamNG.

 

Hey, I just wanted to say I absolutely love this mod and can genuinely say that this is the best mod I've downloaded in the 4+ years I've been here.

There's only one bug I continually run into. When I'm using the chase function with police and get busted, Beam doesn't let me drive my car anymore until I reset the entire game. I'll occasionally be able to drive again, but I'm unable to continue driving when I'm on East Coast for some reason.

Big ups on this mod though! Great work!

 

To me it seems that this bug only occurs when you're outside of the "capture range" of the police car, for example when recovering your vehicle to a previous position.
If you drag or drive your car into the police cars' range again, the message "you can drive away now" appears and you actually can at that moment.

 

Again, i don't want to see a red/green/blue police car. If there will be a system, that avoiding the service cars from recolor...

 

whenever I use this tool I end up stuck in free camera. Do you know why this is and can anyone help me?

 

Press shift+c to get out of free camera

 

I'm curious to see if the mod will be compatible with the grid map. The ai needs a road network to spawn on.

 

How to disable traffic stop and blinker after crash, this happen even the AI awareness is off

 

Whenever a traffic car spawns and causes an exception it seems to force you into free cam mode. Try only spawning base game cars and not allowing modded ones.

 

I found a bug, probably depends on the vehicle count I suppose. Its were there lets say 3 cars and the cars spawned were a bulide, new pessima, and a cop roamer, it just used thoose vehicles and I want to know why.
