Let's be honest: the cliff map is boring and outdated. No roads, No spawnpoints, No nothing! Its only purpose is to let a car crashing down the cliff. Nothing wrong with that, it serve its purpose! But I think updating it so it have MORE purpose would be great, and would even enable the possibility of new contents, the cliff map being the only vanilla map to have a huge mountain and a cliff (ofc). Making the map bigger, while keeping its "emptiness" with little roads, long tunnels, and some village spawnpoints would be great, something inspired by Tibet and the Alps. It would be great for people who love : roadtrips, trucking, rally, drifting. I'm talking about about a Tibet/Alps inspired map, because both places are known for their cold temperature and long roads. But taking inspiration in other countries like Norway or Japan would be good too! It would be the occasion to experiment even further with cold temperature, like on the Automation map. It would also give plenty of new missions : Cliff destruction, ambulance offroading, rally and drifting obviously! New content too: it would be the opportunity to have an euro/asian cab-over semi! (among new mountain-related configs) Some fun facts that would help my suggestion : -China and some European countries have a dual-cab rescue truck for long tunnels! It would be interesting to implement this mechanic in game! -Laerdal Tunnel in western Norway is the longest road tunnel in the world! It takes about 20 minutes to pass through the tunnel. The blue lights are for reducing sleepiness!
To be honest, I've never tries it But it would be better if crawling and crashing weren't the only things to do on this map! And would be the occasion, as said earlier, to experiment with new features
It's only a suggestion I'm have no knowledge in coding, so I can only give ideas Hope devs see it though!
same i would love to do it only issue is i have no experience --- Post updated --- hmmm maybe propose this idea to some map makers --- Post updated --- maybe ask for credits for the idea but i gennrally think its a good idea --- Post updated --- the trucks with both cabs is a seperate idea in its entire purpose so it should be removed from the table
The thing is, that beamng lack cold temperature and mountainous vanilla maps. I just noticed that Cliff was the only map that wasnt reworked, even "grid small pure" and "gridmap" has been updated, along utah, west coast USA, ect... Johnson valley and utah are already hot temp maps. The only one that is somewhat cold is the Automation map. Cliff have great potential for new mechanics (dual cab trucks, extreme cold temperature, rescue missions...) and enhancing the existing features (off-road, trucking...) So yeah, modders could make it, modders could make anything really, but it would be better if it was vanilla --- Post updated --- I personally don't think so. Every map in beamng came with a suitable vehicle: the dunekicker with Johnson valley, the Piccolina with italy... Rescue truck like these are only used in mountainous areas, where the roads are too narrow, with a lot of long tunnels. So why not ?
Also, I don't think that remastering this map is possible. It's based on somewhere in Texas, judging by license plate, and I don't think that Texas has places like those in your pictures. So making a new cliff map based on somewhere in Asia or Scandinavia will be better imo.
Gridmap is just a map to test things I feel like developing a new map whith mountains and coldness would make the cliff map obsolete. Cliff map doesn't look like anything like texas either Having a new texas map would be too much too, as Johnson valley already cover the "hot temp desert map", and west coast "big american city". So I thought remaking the cliff map to would be a better choice. But i could be wrong either way: after all, the cliff map is old. They would have to redo everything.
When you spawn, game gives you a Texas license plate. Johnson Valley isn't Texas, it's California. And we have 3 (Industrial Site, Derby Arenas, Cliff) Texas maps already.
