Updates

latest Version 1.3 · BeamNG.drive 0.39.x 1 month ago

This version brings compatibility with BeamNG 0.39, new and partially pbr textures, Freeroam Bus Mode, reduced file size and more!

I will keep the download for pre-0.39 version 1.2 up, in case anyone cannot or does not want to update their game past 0.38.

Changelog:

updated sunsky and clouds for 0.39
added new pbr groundcover with subsurface scattering
updated all trees, bushes and containers to pbr
updated road, bricks and metal materials to pbr
replaced most houses with independently colorable houses
added night lighting
added a few new roads
updated restaurant and industries signs
changed textures of billboards, now most have advertisements instead of scraps of paper on them
reworked transition between grassland and desert
added ambient wind using the forest audio editor
improved ambient water sounds, now using audio ribbon editor, removed unnecessary sfx emitter objects
added dynamic traffic AI speed limits, 50 km/h in cities, "unlimited" on other roads
added police vehicle group for AI traffic and evade missions
added poi system similar to that of Skeleton Coast
moved many regular spawnpoints to pois, 18 spawnpoints remain
removed some spawnpoints/poimarkers and added a few new ones
updated all thumbnails and added/revised descriptions
updated time trials to modern standards
added one new time trial: another short circuit on AR Race Track
removed old bus lines which were using the base-game system
added Freeroam Bus Mode with audiovisual stop and line announcement system: pull up at a stop, open the doors, select a line and drive to the end while stopping at all stops inbetween, no loading times, with time- and violations-based scoring system
removed some unnecessary files
removed .cdae and imposter files, which are now generated when loading the map first time, which results in a longer loading time but smaller file size
used linking system to further reduce the file size
reduced file size from 664.51 to 476.09 MB
moved all objects by +569 on the z-axis, to move the sea level of the map from -569 to 0 - this lead to issues in the past (most notable when flying a plane and colliding with an invisible wall) and should be fixed now (thanks to AlexKidd71 and his amazing Mapping Tool!)
one existing secret has been expanded (I wonder if anyone ever found it)
a few new secrets

a few secrets and easter eggs ;)
