    Hi Everyone
    I'm having trouble getting any motion out of BeamNg plugin. Simtools connects ok but no out data. I have read that it is all in the main.lua and simtools.lua, but cannot figure it out. have prefixed the BeamNg shortcut with -luasocket but still no output. Can anybody help!!!:(

    Thankyou

    Hi
    Im using BeamNGDrive-0.5.4.0.2252 and cannot get any output data, I noticed the patched main.lua does not reference simtools.lua, I am very likely wrong here, but can you post me the patched main.lua so I can see what I'm doing wrong? I'm pulling my hair out here!!

    Please keep plugin discussion in the proper thread. There is no need to create new threads on the topic.

    Hello @value1, @prilad,
    Last update on BEAMNG was month ago, 0.5.5 , probably they will release new one, soon, but hopefully they will not change nothing in file structure. Could you please check what is wrong, would be perfect to get motion from this game, again. Thank you in advance

    Just curious, I was thinking about getting this game and I was wondering if there was any resolution to this. I see it has been a few months and I was wondering if this has been solved before I pick up the game.

    Hello
    Solution will be after "SimTools 2.0" release. Now just need to wait.

    Hello @value1
    What about to check what is wrong again with BeamNG plugin ?
    And after last update was one problem. When in game are more then one car, motion is unpredictable, it seems that motion reads other car forces.

    Hi folks.
    Does anyone here know if motion is still currently working with the latest Steam build of BeamNG?
    I've just purchased the game, and for the life of me cannot get any motion out of it.
    Perhaps things have changed in recent builds with how this is supposed to work?

    I've patched the game in the "Steamapps/Common/BeamNG.drive" directory (there weren't any specific instructions as to the correct path or directory for patching, so this is what I've chosen).
    The "Game Manager" turns blue when I start the game, but there is zero motion.
    I've set the Steam game launch option to the previously mentioned "-luasocket", but still nothing.

    The game itself does have menu options for enabling motion simulation using the standard SimTools IP & Port addresses correctly filled in (127.0.0.1 & 4123).
    Does that now override the need for the old "-luasocket" launch option.

    I've tried multiple ways and cannot get the game to actually provide motion, but it does change the Game Manager to the blue activation mode, which seems to indicate that it wants to work, but simply doesn't.

    :sos

    Any ideas???? :!

    Hi @Kranky Pantz
    I think the plugin does not work currently due to several changes in the API (data interface) of BeamNG.
    Don't waste more time with the current plugin. It needs re-coding :(

    Oh no, well that's a bummer.
    Seeing that the in-game menu has a section for motion platform support with both IP & Port address options, I was optimistic that it would work.

    I tried it with the "-luasocket" launch option both enabled & disabled in Steam, but no luck.
    The game itself is actually quite fun, so I'll just keep it and start using the SimTools Joystick plugin for a bit of platform movement, hopefully that works.

    Did the game always have platform support in the menu options, or is that a new thing they've now added, perhaps making it more stable with future updates/patches?

    Cheers, and thanks for the quick response to my question!

    Hi @Kranky Pantz
    I wasn't aware that BeamNG finally supports motion data. We had to dive deep into the guts of the software previously.
    I'll give it a try when back at my PC.
    Thanks for the info!

    You are welcome. :)

    Oh wow, that's great that you'll be looking into it so soon.

    If you do indeed have any luck, and wish to have a secondary tester I'd be glad to help out and report back.
    I'll be playing it later on today and over the next few days as well (I'm snowed in here at the moment, LOL!!!)
    There is also an "update rate" setting, along with several axis smoothing options available in the game's menu, so it looks like the game devs are taking motion seriously.

    BTW, does (or did) the SimTools plugin simply install into the BeamNG folder, or does it have to go somewhere else, like the "lua" folder?

    :popcorn
