Maybe it has already been reported, there is a bug in covet cut hood. (no mesh or turned inside out?)

 

Isn't that a cut hood for direct exhaust dump? Derby version used it afaik

 

Wow, that's really cool.

You can do this automatically.
Example:

Code:

local mR = math.random
local part = partCondition.getConditions() or (function() partCondition.initConditions(nil, 10000, 1, 1, 1) return partCondition.getConditions() end)()
local function get12RandomColor() return mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255), mR(255) end

for partName in pairs(part) do
    partCondition.setPartMeshColor(partName, get12RandomColor())
    --print(partName)
end

In theory, thanks to this it is possible to implement the painting of single parts of the car.

 

The update looks amazing! I like the Mr. Turbo a lot, it's way more oversteery than I expected (since it's RWD and not AWD, and it's short wheelbase makes snap-oversteer abundant). It's a really quick car, with lots of potential to be fast once I improve at handling it! I'm not yet sure, but I think it might be one of the trickier cars in-game to actually drive fast.

On the topic of bugs, here are a few issues I've encountered:
I'm using an Xbox controller as an input device, where the camera orientation is controlled by the left joystick (the default setting for a controller in that regard) .The cockpit camera seems to sometimes move at different speeds, sometimes it's direct angle based on the joystick input. and sometimes it's direct angle movement speed based on the input, it's very inconsistent. Here's a video example:

Of all issues spotted, this is the only one which is really annoying, the rest are pretty minor.
Also, in cockpit camera when switching from forward to reverse and vice versa, the camera sometimes "snaps" back to default view, without any joystick input, even if the camera was pointing backwards.

The trees and shrubs have some sort of graphic issue, they seem to "sparkle". The video compression makes it harder to see, that's the best I could. It might just be my graphics settings though, which are not that high.


As far as my experience goes, at the end of a mission in free-roam mode, the "continue here" and "continue at mission start" options both lead to you continuing at the mission start.

A few small UI and text issues: for some reason, when unselected, the "vehicle config" tab under the menu (top center) doesn't display fully despite the fact there's clearly enough room.

Also: a typo here (should be Covets not Covet's):

The overlayed map layouts are wrong in some places, here for example:

BTW, this overlay feature is really nice, I guess many people including myself didn't notice it at first, but it is really cool!

There's a bug when resetting Production Car Trials B in East Coast. The car spawns at a checkpoint but the next one is set to be one that already was passed, so you have to double back on yourself. At first I didn't even notice it and just kept going down the track while the checkpoint was actually behind me.


The Long Crawl mission in Utah is ridiculously hard, especially compared to the other crawl missions. Personally I think that's a good thing, because the other crawl missions I've experienced across the different maps are challenging but not too hard (at least in my opinion), and this one is on a whole other level, I consider myself pretty good at off-road in BeamNG, and I still haven't even reached it's half way. But it is pretty frustrating because there are barely any reset checkpoints. If I could recommend something that would make the mission more approachable, less frustrating and still keep the challenge- maybe provide more reset-checkpoints and less regular no-reset ones?

 

The Grille badge for Covet exist, but, not showing on the grille; I'm mean when I hover the mouse on Vehicle Configurator, It appears, but, in normal, not showing on grille; the Grille Ibishu badge position need to be adjust

Try uninstalling BeamMP

 

Is that rudimentary scratch system thing?

 

Yes, of course

 

That could be part of it, yes.

 

Found an issue with the auto paint prompt.

 

Wow that's much better than my implementation and seems to work for every part. I basically merged two tables of part names (jbeam meshes and part edit system) together because each one alone wouldn't work for every part.

Since 0.26 depending on what you're trying to do there may be no way to avoid using that system to repaint vehicles. Example: to set vehicle odometer values. Since electrics.values.odometer is no longer the real odometer value, using initConditions is necessary so that you can set the odometer value for the "root part". I found this new mesh coloring function after noticing that using initConditions makes vehicle colors impossible to change using the config UI or world edit menus. Metallic, Roughness, Clearcoat and Clearcoat Roughness still work but colors are controlled by the partCondition mesh coloring function until a CTRL+R reset.

 

Found some more bugs/mistakes.

1. The Sport Automatic Console Shifter of the Gavril Bluebuck, although having the automatic shifter clicking sounds, it isn't animated - it's permanently stuck in gear "1".
2. The Bad Bubu Drag Bluebuck has a fully dressed up interior (door panels, rear side panels, normal bucket seats up front instead of the much lighter racing bucket for the driver, who is the only one necessary for this type of racing) along with the Roll Cage, which is definitely wrong for a race car.
3. The Drag Covet hasn't got the Strut Bar up front and it also doesn't have the speed holes on the Cut Rear Bumper. The Cut Rear Bumper is perfectly fine as it is now but a version of it with the speed holes ("Cut Rear Bumper - Speed Holes" is a good name for this part), like in the previous Drag Covet, makes absolute sense for slightly improving the aerodynamics and the downforce in the light and unstable rear end of the Drag Covet. It's fairly usual in FWD drag cars after all.
4. The fact that the Sport Manual Floor Shifter of the Bruckell Moonhawk is exactly the same as the one the Gavril Bluebuck and Barstow models have is a mistake, since we're talking about two different and opposing brands, Bruckell and Gavril. The Moonhawk should have its own Sport Manual Floor Shifter.

 

It seems the Heavy and Ultra Heavy duty engine blocks on the covet add power. Are they supposed to do that (they did not in 0.25)?

 

No, they're actually supposed to decrease power and torque a little bit (and the Ultra Heavy Duty ones a tiny bit more). The Stage-1/-2/-3 Performance blocks are those that increase power and torque.

 

Yeah. I was using them and the Ultra Heavy Duty block added about 100hp

 

Really strange this... Last Christmas, with the Bolide remastering, we learned that the HD/UHD Blocks can withstand 9500rpm and now we have this.

 

bro i spend hour grinding this beamcoins. what should i spend them on? i thought i can buy a new car with them, or maybe just upgrade my covet.

 

I need to actually play career mode

 

I'm getting a no texture in the generated autocross tracks and the pbr materials for the rusty Gavril "Awful" are far too glossy. Though maybe they aren't PBR.
