I have a great desire to start programming scripts for BeamMp in order to create a good roleplay server, but I don’t have any programming knowledge, the question is, where to start? Looking in the documentation I didn’t find the language I believe to be Lua or C+, C# I don’t know, so I should learn these languages and come back here to try?
Hey there. Great first topic by the way!
Getting started with BeamMP resource making should be straight forward we would have hoped but since your research has not lead you in quite the right direction then I presume we need to work on making things clearer.
Resources for BeamMP (server side) are written in Lua.
Resources for BeamMP (client side) are also written in Lua however will need to be written and formatted in the required way that BeamNG.drive interprets them.
I hope this helps. Please do comment back and I can try to help you some more if you need it
Hey @titch. I know this is a 3 year old thread but seems like the difficulties of learning to setup a server in beammp are still prevalent. Iv been getting into this topic myself. Without been just a. Leach to learn everything from you, what would you say be the first step for a spawn choosing system like in single player for a beammp server. Like an UI to start where they can choose one of a couple spawn points around the map. I have a lil bit of ‘programming knowledge’ but am having a hard time to know where to start. I realize I need to write a server side plugin. Do I start a new lua script or is there an existing script I make changes too.
I appreciate any insights or help and understanding if it’s too much to teach over a forum post
