Welcome to the jungle dome, explore this tropical island some where due north of JRI.
This map is a sequel to "Cavern Dome" and has taken me over 600 hours to create. Development began in February and the map is now almost complete.
This map was developed and tested on an RTX 3080, a Ryzen 7 5700X 8-core processor, and 32GB of RAM. Due to its resource-intensive nature, it may demand significant performance capabilities, so high-end hardware is highly recommended.
As a side note, extensive effort has gone into using LUA Triggers throughout the map to fully implement particle effects and lighting. If you notice that particle effects aren't active when freecamming to certain areas, it's likely because your vehicle hasn't triggered the LUA code.
This map features two Timetrials, which can be accessed by unpacking the mod. It also contains two main easter eggs, along with several smaller ones hidden throughout. Additionally, there are multiple secret cave entrances to discover.
Please use the "Hirochi Sunburst (Off Road DCT)" to traverse the chasms, as the jumps were designed and tested with this vehicle.
But... as it should go without saying, use whatever vehicle you want and have fun
The map is still in beta, so some issues may persist. Please report any bugs you encounter in the comments section. Here are the known issues:
Error/Issues List:
Credits:
- s_rocks_desert_huge_sheet_2GREY.dae - Invisible collisions are present when transformed.
- Numerous bushes are improperly placed and not oriented correctly.
- Lava waterblocks have incorrect density; vehicles do not sink as expected.
- Some portals are misaligned within zones or on their own.
- Lava heat haze causes white flickering from certain angles due to wave magnitude settings.
- The terrain mesh in some areas hasn't been smoothed out, resulting in jagged edges.
- Console errors suggest missing terrain textures.
- Lua triggers for particle effects and point lights are not positioned where the player is, and do not reset until the player enters and leaves the area.
- Some chasm jumps are too difficult for players to complete safely.
- Since the map is a remix of JRI's terrain, some ground models haven’t been updated, causing vehicles to sink in areas where mud exists, though it should be hard ground.
- s_rocks_desert_huge_sheet_2GREY.dae may not be positioned correctly, causing the low-poly side to poke into view.
- River lava drag is too high in some areas and isn't connected to the lava pits.
- Time trial scenarios don't appear unless the Gameplay folder is placed before the Mods folder.
- Dirt road flows, when set to "over objects," are too wide and overlap incorrectly, stretching over rocks and other terrain objects.
- Point light orientation is incorrect, causing odd shadows when the player passes by.
- Mesh roads aren't wide enough, allowing players to see under the map.
- Mesh roads are temporary and will be replaced with a .dae file.
- Mesh roads use the default ground model of asphalt, which cannot be changed. As a result, there are no dirt effects, and the road sounds like pavement.
- Terrain paint in certain areas looks jagged and odd; custom terrain textures are needed for the map.
- Lava road textures are not visible from certain distances.
- Instances of Vine_Wall_Wide_A.Dae are floating above the ocean near lava pits, likely due to outdated information from JRI in the Missiongroup folder.
- FPS drops occur in certain areas.
I would like to thank TerryMartinArt for his Lava Textures.
Thank you beamng devs for all the assets and a wonderful game.
And finally I'd like to thank all the people that contributed in some form or another to helping the map come to fruition.
By downloading and using this map mod for Beamng.Drive, you acknowledge that I, the creator, am not liable for any potential damage to your PC's hardware.
Additionally, this map is not to be redistributed on any other websites.

In the upcoming weeks mod approvals could be slower than normal.

Awesome review.
I would love to learn from the pros, If I had the knowledge an insider scoop of how they made this game I could truly unleash some wild stuff. You could also say the tools and knowledge are already present for this game, you just have to make it happen, and making it happen takes time.
Germany sound awesome, guess I need my passport ;)

Thank you for the kind words and criticism. I hope to update the dirt tracks later in the next update and provide quality of life features like bridges for leisurely driving through the map with any vehicle.

Thank you! The caves were a big part of why I got into making this map.
Sounds effects have been my forte for years so it would have been a disservices to not add them. I feel like I could have done better with the dirt tracks but I'll go over that bridge in another update.
