how for are you done with this project will you be finishsed this year --- Post updated --- cant wait untill this is releases everyone said its impossible --- Post updated --- will you be able to crash into each other
In theory there is no reason other than synchronisation related issues that you should not be able to have the ability to crash into each other. Though this will be VERY dependant on your internet speeds and your computers performance. As for player counts, technically there is no limit because at its core it runs from a web server and web sockets. however each players computers performance will be the bottleneck from what I can see at the moment. Thank you for the support though all of you. I do hope that i can prove that this is possible even if performance might be low to start with it still shows that it can be done. For anyone interested in how this is working you are more than welcome to take a look at the GitHub repository where you can contribute too if you feel you can. Briefly explained: A player hosts the session. Player 2 joins the session. The map is confirmed to be the same. Then pause all clients We synchronise the vehicles. Then we un-pause. To keep the vehicles synced what we do is we take the steering, break, clutch, throttle, locations and rotations and then package these up for network sending. Once on the other clients we unpack the message, and update the vehicle accordingly. In the future i plan to use the location of the vehicles to be the 2nd layer of synchronisation instead of the updated throttle and steering. I hope this helps anyone to understand how this works. --- Post updated --- Hello, sorry I missed your message. It had run over into another page. Now you get a post that just reply's to you. Will i be finished this year? Yes i very well intend on being done before the end of august depending on what walls might pop up along the way. Cant wait until* this is releases everyone said its impossible. Thank you, I can't wait either. Me and my brother have wanted to do this since we first encountered the game. Will you be able to crash into each other. Technically yes there is nothing to stop you. However there are two factors that might mean you would prefer to keep simple collisions turned on: 1. Your computers performance. 2. Vehicle synchronisation issues associated with it crashing on one client and not another.
First. [YTGN] | Titch2000 this is an amazing mod love it keep up the good work Second a suggestion. Devs pay close attention to this mod. it could change things in very good way especially were this is possible and make the guy a Dev Third a question for [YTGN] | Titch2000 what happens if your the person you joined, and got tired of the car your using, what would happen if you changed vehicle mid play or if host and you wanted to change your car?, would you have to rejoin pause the game until the car changed?, what would happen or how would that work? thanks and keep up the good work dude
Firstly thank you! As for car changing at the moment non of that is intentionally handled however could be possible. At the moment this is still very early stages but anything is possible with enough time, patience and attention.
Thank you. The current state of the project is that vehicles are now visible on both of my clients, they move, brake and turn. But they quickly become de-synchronised. So that is what i am doing now.
Even though crashing into each would be cool, im more interested in the fact that races and drift trains could be done, even if the player dont collide (like ghosts) that would be good on the performance department i think. Wish the best of luck to the project, looking foward to updates!
Three years ago, we said that both multiplayer and dirt driving sounds would be impossible or so hard to implement- look where we are today!
Will horns, sirens, and lights sync between players? Also, would day/night sync? --- Post updated --- Also, would license plates and text sync?
Yes every aspect is going to be attempted to be done, this includes plates, lights, sounds so on so forth. The limit really is what the game and the engine can handle.
Bugbear Entertainment/ THQ Nordic, your in trouble if this gets off the ground and rolling.I think having a multi player game like Wreckfest but with the soft body physics Beamng.Drive has it would be Sic to think of the mods cars and track that could be produced similar to Wreckfests.And amount of damage you could inflict on your opponents in game.
