    I'm putting the finishing touches on my own pace notes engine which is map-editor / text-editor free and allows you to just record your own voice. Since there's no way to record sounds through beamng, I set up a simple python server that uses pyaudio to handle mic stuff, and beamng just sends data to it. Nothing is obfuscated or compiled, and the server isn't required for the mod to work if you are using pre recorded sounds (ie included with the mod).

    Given the recent security concerns with mods, will it be acceptable to instruct users to run a python server? Will I be able to include a python script in an official mod, or will I have to point them to a separate resource / website if they want to record their own voice?

    Here's a screenshot with the editor to give an idea of how my mod works:
