WIP Beta released Demolition Derby - The Fair Grounds 10.8.1 DEMO

I've changed the opponent cars several times - with mixed results.



In my pursuit of an all-Legran Luxe derby with every car a different colour, my main problem was the wait time it took to open the vehicle selector and parts selector. Both took forever (in some cases as much as twenty minutes) to load. Even then, there was roughly a 20% chance of either all cars timing out while I was still loading them, or failing to drive once the scenario began.

I eventually got my Legran Luxe derby, but the above screenshot isn't it - that one timed out while I was taking the screenshot!

 

If you freeze physics, that should make the load time normal and stop the count out timer.

Again, I've never changed the AI cars, but when I first realized you could change the driven car, I crashed the game a few times because I didn't freeze physics and it cause huge amounts of lag in all the menus.

I've been doing that too...

It wouldn't be so bad of the AI could stop accelerating after they hit you; if they would backup and go for another hit, it would make it a little less tedious. I'm hoping the devs will eventually add a derby AI mode, where the AI can sense a hit and stop pushing, and have some intelligence allowing them to protect the radiator and steering components.

 

So you guys have been stopping the mod and replacing the current car for another ones ?

 

Yeah...

 

Okay, I don't think that it should be possible. At least I haven't been able to do so. Which mod version you are using ?

 

It worked in the 5.0, 6.0 and the 6.1 bugfix versions. Being that there is no longer a working version of this mod,due to the 0.10 update, I can't say if switching vehicles will still be a viable option in the future.

If you still have a working version for some reason, you can test it by loading the scenario, waiting for the count down to start, and press the freeze physics button ("J" by default). Then go to the vehicle selector as normal, select your car, and hit J again to unfreeze the physics.

 

I tried it already, but I didn't see that at all, so I'm curious, how you can get it working.

 

Tabbing over and changing opponents cars doesn't work. You just take control of the new car

 

So what is the status of this mod..? Is it working, not working? An update is in the works? What..?

 

Update in the works, stay tuned!

 

ok... for real.. been patient... this addon is legit the only reason Beamng.drive is even on my PC... without this addon this game is 100% useless to me... when will this addon be updated... seems every other addon for the game has been and we have all been waiting patiently for this one to be fixed... does anyone have any info on how to make it run again? sick of waiting here... thanks guys

 

The reason why the update takes time is because there is an issue on the AI system in the mod, in short, the AI is not working right now on it. And those things are never easy to fix, yet alone when Bid is working alone with the coding. The last update did pretty significant damage to the mod's code in terms of changes, so Bid has to do a lot of work to fix it.

I know, that it it frustrating to wait till it starts to work again, but there's no other way. At least the new update will bring more features as well and new configs to the cars and new class system for configs.

 

The good news is that I have the scenario working again. The bad news is that the AI is a problem. I can get them to move around but they end up getting stuck on walls. The wall intersects do not seem to be working the same as before the update. The racing part of this scenario will also need to wait as I was already trying to add more features to it before the last Beamng update.

 

Thanks for the info bid, and to the rest of you guys: I am in the same boat, love this mod and can't wait to have it back, but you need to remember that bid does not get paid to do this mod and he does it purely on his own free time. No need to get pushy.

If it was easy we'd all have our own versions of this by now.

 

Hey guys,
I love this mod. But since the last update it will not start. I download all files at the links. But it wouldn`t start.
When I press the start button nothing happend.
Have somebody a hand for me?

 

The mod is broken, you have to wait till the next update to it arrives.

 

Ahhh Okey

 

oh man my appologies for comming off harsh there... wish i could help with this... sorry to seem like a jerk there... ill keep my fingers crossed and i appreciate the response... Good luck with the addon cant wait
