The abandoned mall update is coming...

Added 2018-10-11 01:36:53 +0000 UTC

The abandoned mall update is in the works, much of the lot is done, and I am starting the building tonight. It should take a few days to build it. Once it's done and the collision is tested OK I will be shipping out the beta. I am hoping to finish it up by the end of the weekend but it could take me an extra day or two.

Who doesn't love an abandoned mall? Who doesn't love to DRIVE THROUGH ONE! Since we can't walk yet in this game (I am pesting a few people I know about this, trying to make that happen), I am going to make it able to be driven through. Parts of it will be two levels, and it will likely be L-shaped, with one half of the L being single-level and it will have at-least two large anchor stores, and possibly some out-parcels later on.

I want to thank everyone for bearing with me on this project, as sometimes it seems with all the behind-the-scenes optimization, there isn't always a lot of VISIBLE progress. Those with slower CPU's might notice a little better speed this time around, but it's not going to be that apparent for those who have a fast CPU but slow GPU.

Slowly making dreams a reality here, but I am not going anywhere any time soon, so I have plenty of time to work on this for the foreseeable future, especially as it gets colder out and there's less outside work to be done (we don't really get but a few inches of snow a year).

So please look out after the weekend into early next week for the beta. I will do my best to be as prompt as possible with it.

Thanks for supporting the project - it's going to bring so much to the BeamNG community, and help make everyone's maps, and everyone's experience in playing them, better.
