I actually really liked the map and fast traveling. Would there be a way to have that option or to have some sort of map in game. Maybe a mini map?
I think a few players use a mini map app that works fine with the mod, I'd like to keep the GPS function of big map (that would only work if car has one installed) but fast travel isn't something that fits with the type of gameplay I'm going for even if I manage to make it impossible to abuse during races, police pursuit, challenges and delivery missions. A big part of the risk comes from getting around and having to deal with stupid traffic, getting tired of sitting behind traffic and overtaking in risky spots. Fast travel removes that risk entirely. SLRR as far as I know only has tow to player garage, but I'll most likely add other locations to get towed (gas station, repair shop) in a future update.
Does the mini map have the locations of where stuff is at so I have an idea of where to drive to? That’s my real issue, I just don’t know where to drive to get to events or location like new vehicle dealership etc.
Hey, can you please add some navigation bar to reach some locations on the map? Without the map, its bit difficult for me to navigate around. Just a menu with all important locations on it, and click the name to set a route to the preferred location. Is that possible?
I like how it gives people an option to play how they want. If they want fast travel, they can install and use the minimap mod. If they don't want it, then they don't have to do anything.
Personally the only maps in the entire game I know my way around are Utah and West Coast, anywhere else and I'm hopelessly lost. I have relied heavily on the minimap mod for when playing BeamLR on Italy.
Haven't tried Italy yet. The point would be to learn the routes, in the process you'll get lost, but eventually you'll get it.
It's on my to do list, current idea is to have it work only if the car has a GPS and it will show a small UI app to select BeamLR interactive areas as destinations. Maybe also "find nearest" for the less unique areas (gas station, repair shop, part shop). The options menu would have a field like "GPS: Default, Force Enabled, Force Disabled". Default being the intended behavior where the app only shows if your car has a GPS. The other two settings would let players who always want the GPS enabled/disabled to play how they feel. I totally agree, BeamNG is at it's core a sandbox game and my approach to this mod is to stick to the that aspect as much as possible. When adding features I'm still thinking of a "intended" way to play it but whenever possible I want to let players customize the experience. UI Apps are very convenient for customization but I can't guarantee they'll all be compatible (like fast travel previously causing enough G forces to count as game over). Also one of the upsides of this not being multiplayer is not having to worry about cheating to the point where the github readme literally explains how to do it.
Hi, is there any way to add new part with the price? I want to make some custom parts for cars since i know how, but i want them to have price I also would love to know if prices of vanilla parts can be edited, and payments for missions too
Yes you can. Part prices are found in the .json file of the mod/part, you can edit the mission $ as well, look at the file structure of the mod, I forgot what the folder is, but every mission has a file with parameters.
Just adding the entire map of Italy for BeamLR as it can get confusing with such a huge map. This is just a merge of the github maps sections uploaded by the creator of the mod. Thanks guys!
This mod is literally amazing ! I have a problem, i'm stuck on "already joined another event" even tho i never joined an event
I've been loving playing this mod, but I ran into a problem. When I want to join an event it says "already joined another event". I saw the other comment about it and it worked for the first time, but now, when I want to join another event (i finished the other one) it doesn't work anymore. I tried changing the event in currentTrackEvent, I even swapped the file with one in release.
I'm glad you both like the mod! I'm aware this is an issue with the current version, sadly I haven't been feeling well for the past month and overall haven't been in the right mindset to work on the mod. To be clear I'm not giving up, this is still a passion project for me, but I don't know when I'll be able to resume working on the mod. I'm still hanging around the forum to answer questions and take bug reports so just let me know if you find any other issues with the current version.
I love this mod, it's gotten me to play more Beam in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last 3 months. Heck, I've beem playing this game and coming to these forums for 7yrs and you got my second post. Before I start playing with altering your epic mod, I have 2 questions. 1. Is there a way to sell or offload old parts that I haven't noticed? 2. Is there an alternate method/menu for buying/installing parts?
you can't sell parts on their own. only cars with the parts. If you have more parts for a car, and need to sell them, buy a cheap car, install parts sell again lol
