Update Speculation thread

huh... why an autobahn? doesnt make sense to me

 

as far as im aware, you can look at the content in there as much as you want, but you cannot in any circumstances, extract it, or open it in another software to get the sounds, as it requires a password.

 

deleted, i am an idiot

 

I see....

 

can you actually open the sounds with a software?
or are these files blanks?

 

deleted because i am a dumb brainlet

C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive/ui/modules/mainmenu/drive/icons/autobahn.svg

 

interesting stuff lol.

also, i open the autobahn svg in blender

i dont think this has anything to do with the autobahn we all though of haha.

 

yeah, i totally agree lol. sorry for wasting your time with all my nonsense. it is midnight where i live, so i should probably hit the hay instead of trying to get into files im not supposed to be in. but before i go, i should say i did find a more pressing old file in the game files, which is the old ui license, stating i'm basically allowed to sell (for a profit) the ui to anyone i want. can a dev please shine some light on this? am i stupid or is this the actual new ui license (even though the copyright is from 2014)?

 

well, from what i understood, the ui is actually an open source? (someone correct me on that if its not) ui software available online for anyone to download.
i cant put my finger on it at the moment, im trying to find the source of where devs mentioned this stuff, but anyways, the old ui was some 2015 software, and the new one implemented in 0.24 is newer, dont remember the exact date, but it was 2018 and up lol.
basically, the license just says to people using that ui, that they can sell the software they implemented that ui with, alongside the ui without any issues in legal terms and such.


also, 1am here lol. cant sleep so replying as if this was yahooo question/answers xD
so i dont mind at all haha

 

yea, the stuff from the blog a few years back is similar to the current ui. but yeah, it would have been 2018 and up. just a standard MIT license for open-source stuff. anyway, thanks man.

 

If we got Moonhawk remaster..... Maybe we got nascar-like config cuz murican

 

It's interesting how much the standard 350/390's USDM bumpers resemble an edit I made a while back.
just cool to see that the devs do take inspiration from the community sometimes

 

(DELETED cuz posted by dumbass)

 

Nice, this doubles as a good graphical comparison too

 

most of the cars in the game are usdm

 

I mean non-murican cars

 

speculation: a minivan next update, there arent any in game obviously

 

most of "non-murican" cars are already USDM

 

Agree. Many sedans, some wagons and coupes, jeep, SUV, pickup, muscle cars, 70's full size, compact and mid sizes, truck and susbus and no minivans (there is Van but it's doesn't count) There's even very small ones

OT: I hope in next update we got another pickup. That would nice cuz we never got another pickup since 2012


Edit: I'm not hating D-Series, I love it so much. Just would be good if we got more cars of current types

If we got a new car in new update, then I think need to wait March. Just thinking there will be 3 major updates a year

 

I'd imagine it'll be kept to specific cars which are lacking in content, and which have substantial changes between markets.

A USDM piccolina could be possible, since such a thing would need different bumpers and headlights at least, and i'd imagine it would also be specced with a 1500 engine.
The I-series might, as BMWs and mercs from this era infamously had "diving board" bumpers, much like the bolide, however, it's already swamped with configs.

I'd imagine the 200BX, Pessimas, and covet might also get more US/JDM distinction, as some versions like the GTz trims are already specified as japan exclusive, despite having all the USDM bits. this would warrant a full RHD conversion, which could get messy in the part selector quite quick, however.
The miramar is an interesting case, since it's closest IRL counterpart was the corona MkII, which was made with the intention of being exported, and the name "Mira Mar" in spanish translates roughly to "look at the sea", implying the intention of exporting.
This suggests that the original plan back in the 2012-gabester-beamng-is-going-to-be-a-demo-derby-game era was that it was going to be an early US market japanese car, but this was probably dropped to make it more unique. to be honest, I don't really see this coming back.
this is wandering a little bit in scope, but I think an USDM converted electric wigeon by some aftermarket company would be a nice touch, with massive bumpers, stuck on taillights to replace the internal units, a couple of American children's weight of lead acid batteries on board, and of course the disproportionately enormous bumpers.
and if they wanted to go content crazy with the hopper, as has been mentioned before, they could reasonably give it utility/troop carrier bodies, diesel engines, and an unreasonably long-lived facelift to rival the H-series, and make a much more versatile Austra-Afro-Asian market utility vehicle.

A lot of the cars, like the ETK 800/K, and Hirochi SBR/Sunburst, could simply have metric gauges added, and be passed off as EUDM versions.
