Record Your Own Pacenotes
This mod allows you to easily record your own pacenotes, completely within BeamNG.drive (after a one-time setup), and seamlessly playback pacenotes without any additional steps.



Key Features:

• No robotic-sounding pacenotes
• No need for the map editor
• No editing text files
• Easy adjustments to existing pacenotes

How to Play Pacenotes:

1. Install this mod – It includes pre-recorded pacenotes for Mixed Surface Rally Stage on East Coast USA (accessible from freeroam). You can also record your own notes, or install additional mods with more pacenotes such as my Pre-recorded Pacenotes Pack.
2. Start the scenario or time trial – Pacenotes will load and play automatically.

Tuning Playback:

• Lookahead Distance: Determines how many meters ahead pacenotes are triggered. Example: If set to 40, you’ll hear about a turn 40 meters before you reach it.
• Speed Multiplier: Adjusts the lookahead distance dynamically based on your speed. Experiment with this to find the best balance for your driving.
• Volume: Controls the playback volume of pacenotes.

How to Record Pacenotes:

1. Set up the mic server as detailed below (required since BeamNG.drive can't access microphones natively).
2. Bind the "Record Pacenote" action to a button or key.
3. Start a scenario or create a new rally course using the Pacenote Editor UI.
4. Drive the course slowly.
5. Press and hold to record when you encounter a turn or hazard.
   • Note: The track is not editable after the first drive. Avoid backing up or crashing while recording. You can edit and record new pacenotes after finishing the course.

How to Set Up the Mic Server:
Refer to this video: Mic Server YouTube Video
You can use either the new mic server executable, or the python server.

Editing Pacenotes:

• While in a rally, you can record a new pacenote at any point by pressing and holding the "Record Pacenote" keybind (you must be connected to the mic server).
• The Pacenotes Editor UI lets you:
  • View all recorded notes and see your current position on the track.
  • Click on a pacenote to edit:
    • Name: For convenience; does not affect playback.
    • Distance: Adjusts when the pacenote is triggered.
    • Continue Distance: Blocks playback of other notes until you are X meters away from the turn or hazard (useful for hairpins or square turns).
    • Delete: Marks the pacenote for deletion (playback will stop, but the deletion is not finalized until you "Save" the rally project).

This Project is Still Being Improved!
