  1. Most enjoy the ability to meet new people and how random it can all be, being able to customize and share vehicle builds easily.

  2. A little more customization to servers, yes you can create your own splash screen and popups by additional mods but why not integrate that to when setting up servers like an optional option.

3.Not sure if its possible but a addon/way to update your mods on your servers directory folder in one go pulling the latest update from BeamNG repository without having to go in one by one…

  1. Only issue ive noticed a little bit recently is Desync.

  2. Could do an event where its a mass derby and last man standing sorta event

Add proper Linux support currently running under wine it doesn’t run well cant only works half the time and there is missing textures

24

Hi there, Missing textures is a game / custom mod issue and not related to BeamMP.

With regards to Linux support, that is fair. @Anonymous275 one for you :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you

Continuing the discussion from Seeking Your Feedback on BeamMP Mod - Let's Shape the Future Together!:

Add working gas stations.

26

Hi There, I did create a Gas Stations mod with some other members of the community but it probably needs updating now. Can you be a little more specific with what you are asking here E.g. are you expecting it to be a part of BeamMP as a whole or just on the official servers?

Thank you

Hey BeamMP Team, for sure BeamMP has been one of the biggest reasons I have played BeamNG for so many hours and discovered so much new stuff with the game. As mods go, it is one of the most polished experiences you can get, especially for a free addon, kinda crazy how much it feels like it came with the actual game. About the topics you suggested,

  1. Maybe it’s not a very complex part, but just the simple fact that it is BeamNG with real people. As some people here pointed out, by nature BeamNG is a sandbox game made to do whatever you want and the multiplayer mod elevates that experience to a whole new level. I have tried everything in BeamMP, from simple cruising with people, to hardcore racing, to roleplaying, to even playing games like Hide and Seek. BeamNG is a great platform and BeamMP gives it that connectivity the game really needs to achieve what is in my opinion the most fun experience in a driving game period.

  2. I mean, this is simpler said than done, but as many people pointed out here, the syncing between cars is still what shows this is not an official integration of multiplayer into the game. I completelly understand the complexity behind what is basically a system predicting each players position and that in many cases it’s not as much of a BeamMP fault as is the actual internet connection from the players. But with that said, it would be great to actually be able to race door to door without someone having contact in one screen and the other being actually a meter away, or even the crashes themselves, as much as i understand that each crash is rendered in each players machine, a better overall syncing would provide more similar crashes and that way improve the experience. Lastly a bit better optimization to be able to run the game smoothly in a server with more than 10 people would help alot.

  3. As for additional features, I don’t really have much that I would like. Maybe a more organized server list that lists servers also by type, so if a server is for racing or roleplaying, then it would be in a diferent category to the general servers. Also getting official BeamMP servers for those types that use the nature of BeamMP being a mod to enhance the BeamNG experience to actually limit players from doing what they want to having more specific rules for those types of servers, ex.: Having a script in a racing server that limits players to not be able to spawn whatever they want and not be able to just node grab their car and destroy everyone. Finally an integrated report system to improve the cases where players just abuse of the rules to get punished.

  4. BeamMP as mods go is very polished so I would say the glitches are minimal, but a glitch like the one where sometimes when people respawn their cars, they appear with the doors constantly open on the other persons screen is a bit annoying.

  5. Well this point connects a bit iwith the feature of getting more specific official servers for certain scenarios apart from the general servers. As an example, a demo derby server could host like once a week a big demolition event and encourage people to bring their original designs instead of just using the vanilla configurations.

That’s basically all I have to say, thanks for all the amazing work you guys been putting out over the last years, at this point I’m liking more the work you guys doing than the actual BeamNG devs, of course BeamNG at the end of the day is the starting platform and whitout it there would be nothing like this, but at the same time, I’m not sure I would regard BeamNG anywhere near as high as I do without this mod. This mod is the reason why BeamNG is currently my favourite game and the fact you guys do it as a passion project really has my respect for that. Great work!!

I was just wondering if there is vehicle support for custom maps that spawn in vehicles for their assets?

29

The mod has improved a lot since 2020 when I started playing. Right now the only issue I see sometimes when I play demolition derby is someone’s car might fix itself for some people but not everyone. And its always still damaged for the person who spawned the car. That has been a bug for awhile but I will say it has gotten better over the updates, but still not 100% fixed. Also radiators breaking and stuff like that is not always synced for everyone, some people will see a broken rad while others wont, this is the same for tires and bumpers falling off ect.

Thanks to the BeamMP Team for all the amazing work they have done over the years it doesn’t go unnoticed keep up the amazing work!!

Howdy Titch,

Thanks for creating this mod, sharing these physics with other people has massively added value to BeamNG - also one of the things I wanted most (persistent chat) just got added, so cheers for that!

I play BeamMP mostly to race casually on the official servers with tracks (Hirochi, Automation, WCUSA).

As for further improvements:

  • To reduce the frequency of vehicle updates, perhaps it would be possible to only queue a user’s changes once they close the configuration window - that way someone making a load of changes, with auto-apply on, would send only one batch of changes rather than several individual ones.

  • An AFK timer on official servers with a relatively high setting, something like 15 minutes. Particularly on the official Hirochi server it seems it is nearly always full, and ~1-3 of the people in there are AFK for extended periods, sometimes hours.

  • An additional Hirochi official server; we had two a few updates ago, we’re down to one now, it can be difficult to get in during EU afternoons/weekends.

  • For servers with race tracks it would be nice to have a way to see lap times - both your own and of other players. Lets say a UI app that shows the last 5 laptimes. (Not a leaderboard - too much gravity/mod use for that to be worthwhile)
    [{Time} {playername} {vehicle}]

With regard to issues while using BeamMP, it does seem that if you spend a long time in a server the game becomes noticeably more laggy - I suspect this has something to do with players joining and leaving but I don’t know for sure.

Now, tricks for other players is an easy one: remove the vehicles of trolls.
[ Press {Tab} until you are viewing the troll’s vehicle ] > [ Press {Esc} ] > [ Click {Vehicles} at the top of the screen ] > [ Click {Remove Current} in the top right. ]
Now the troll is a harmless sphere and you don’t need to worry about them.

Once again, thankyou for all of your hard work.

I agree with that it’s spot on cos it’s a huge pain when making multiple changes

32

Since the VR update dropped it has been my definitive way to play BeamNG. BeamMP works pretty well, but the player names are not drawn in VR. Without the player names it makes it difficult to find the other players.

33

hi, I really like your mod. I am a plugin developer, and sometimes it is not very clear which functions can be “pulled”, I would like to see a list of APIs.

Translated from Russian

Оригинал:
Привет, мне очень нравится ваш мод. Я разработчик плагинов, и иногда не очень понятно какие функции можно “дёргать”, Хотелось бы увидеть список API.

I love BeamMP. :heart_eyes:

34

i like the fact that i can host my own server for me and my streamers its great fun, unsure whether its a bug or beamng in general but updating or loading vehicles whether its another player or own seems to be slow and sometimes crash the game. Spawning as admin near other players would be cool saves flying across the map haha.

35

also another suggestion we like to run mods on our server and we have a list of 40 to 50 mods with high powered pcs and beam mp runs really well but when it comes to updating the mods its a big pain my suggestion would be mod repository implementation or a peice of software that would update the mods for us from the repository i know it might take alot to impliment that but that would be great to see in the future as we wouldnt have to update the mods manually ps thanks for beam mp without it i wouldnt be playing it so much i almost never go on offline mode now unless im testing mods so thanks to you and your team as updates are pretty quick aswell wich we appriciate that

36
  1. I love being able to play with people worldwide
  2. none its fine.
  3. idk
  4. sometimes cars now spawning like not seeing other players until i rejoin or they do. or seeing open doors or trunks etc. when they are in fact closed in other player screens.
  5. no really
    6.Thanks for sharing your some support codes on here -Athreas

It is really good but there are lag spikes a bit too often in-game on normal official BeamMP servers and it would be better if there were more official 2 or 3 vehicle servers

38

i cant login or register, when i press register nothing happens and i cant log in

39

I think wahts needed is better sync bc say i miss my friend trying to hit me and i avoid it well on his sife he hit me that does not make sense also door sync i wanna beable to open my friends doorr snd he sees it that would be cool also i want peer to peer support like gmod
