car files to include in the server if you want, too. If you’re interested in trying this out, let me know what times might work for you, and maybe send me a car you want to drive testing out the game.Īnybody up for a proper test? Meeting time, monday afternoon US is good for me, or maybe late at night (also US time).

It’s also a minor pain to get BeamMP set up, you have to join their discord server (this lets them administrate bans and such). I also don’t know if there’s a good way to have proper checkpoints which record time in Beam Multiplayer, so it might be good to figure that out, although not actually necessary. I would record from a spectator camera and probably commentate, so the results come out in video format.īefore all that though, it’d be good to do a test just to see how well it works. I think 3-5 laps around Hirochi Raceway should be plenty to find a clear winner, but of course there’s the potential for other sorts of challenges- maybe something like trailer pulling, or a long jump. At a certain time, everyone gets on the server, and has race. Instead of a qualifying lap, non-racing factors determine your qualifying position, such as visual judging or scores like “comfort” if they’re relevant to the challenge. I’m thinking a proper “challenge” would look something like this: you submit your cars according to the theme. Once the server is up, everyone’s Automation car will be in the list of vehicles. car file to the host (me in this case) and it can be added to the server. Since it supports mods, this means it’s possible to hold a live race of Automation cars, where each contestant drives a car of their own making. I set up a server and tested it out earlier, and while like any multiplayer mod it’s a bit rough, it’s surprisingly playable. The BeamMP multiplayer mod for BeamNG is now stable enough that anyone can host a server (previously it was available only to patreon subscribers).
