    (thanks @cosmo centrale for the video!)

    Features
    1. New system for creation of time trials with pacenotes
    2. Quick edits to pacenotes via plain text files (no messing with with prefabs)
    3. Fully configurable co-driver: tweak distance calls, callout distance, word substitutions, corner pauses
    4. Add your own codriver: just provide the samples and tweak a couple of config files
    5. Immersion tweaks: removes the waypoint columns and the sound played when crossing them, adds additional stage clutter
    6. >20 unique, long rally stages with pacenotes for vanilla and mod maps, and short shakedowns for beginners
    7. UI with well-timed pacenote icons, a pause menu with co-driver options and pacenote information
    Give me feedback, like, subscribe, review, tell your friends, and show me some love on the forums so I know people are playing and I'll try and work faster :)


    Installation
    • Remove beamng_local_folder/settings/rallyconfig.ini after updating to this version!!
    • Remove or deactivate any old versions of the mod!!
    • Pacenote core mod is no longer needed


    Complete Guide

    The complete guide to the mod and the experimental version (the experimental version always features additional co-driver as a gift to my beta-testers) can be found on github

    https://github.com/lellolillili/rallymodemod

    Feel free to clone and contribute however you want!


    Quick Start

    The rallies are in the Time Trials menu. You can only start a rally from the Time Trials menu.

    You can see the length of a rally in the thumbnail. Shakedowns are short stages, usually sections of the larger stages. Special stages are traditional length stages (5 to 15 km, for now).

    Most rallies are for vanilla maps, plus a few mod maps:

    Start the race.

    After the countdown, you will be greeted by a welcome message. Read it and follow the instructions. You need to load the rally UI in order to see the pacenote symbols and the pause menu. Press 'SHIFT+CTRL+U', add apps, choose the Rally Mode UI app. Keep it nice and big and centered.

    Restart once (press 'R') to disable the waypoint sounds. The custom waypoint module will be loaded, and the sounds won't play anymore.

    Anytime after the countdown starts, you can pause physics ('J') to open the rally menu. The menu is self explanatory.

    Don't forget to hit "save" to save the options you modify.

    Co-driver volume

    You will see an option to adjust the co-driver volume. I actually have no idea what the hell is the correlation between the number you put in there and actual volume of the co-driver voice. I only know that 0 is mute, small numbers are low volume, and large numbers are high volume. Please let me know if you figure out a reasonable range.

    I have to say i'm giving only 3 stars because in the old updates you could do the pacenotes stuff with flowgraph and make it work on freeroam, now you need to use scene tree and it only works as missions. So the problem is that if you want to create a championship and want the car to still keep the damage from the previous stage you can't do that cause the missions respawn your car.

    Finally. A BeamNG mod that gives me the excuse to not go back to DiRT Rally ever again. Took a couple tries to get the welcome message to load, but after that no problems. Thank you very much.

    I really like this. Each day that I boot up beamng.drive there hasn't been a day where I haven't played this (experimental github) mod. This mod has pushed me to research & minmax every parts & tuning of every car since this mod brings so much life in every game it touches. So far I haven't noticed any problems in each of the missions I have played except for some no meshes.

    While the concept of having a pacenotes to assist in rally racing sounds intriguing, the execution felt poor, at least for me.

    However, the rally stages design is good itself, the mod feels really broken, I had no luck making the Rally UI work correctly, the UI app was blank and rally menu haven't shown up, even after restarting it a couple of times.
    I'm sure I have followed the guide correctly, so I don't really understand what the problem is. Futhermore, it broke my Freeroam UI settings, honestly I have no idea why.

      The UI only initializes after the countdown. Make sure you only pause physics after that for the UI to show.

    While I do like the idea behind this mod, its execution could be better. While the stages are generally well made, I find that I miss a turn. While I could listen to the calls, the audio is poor, often hard to discern, and disjointed. Coupled with the constant checkpoint sound effect, I can't rate this mod higher. With these fixes (I'd say just add a toggle to switch back to Highdef's calls), the mod can easily become one of the best rally mods on BeamNG.

      Try the experimental version, it has samples from real rally footage from Alex Gelsomino, Ken Block's (RIP) co-driver. The next iteration of the experimental version will also feature multi-language, and another english voice.

      The checkpoint sound should go away after one restart (R key). If it doesn't, then the mod is malfunctioning for you.
