BeamNG Mod

Extra AI Race Mission

NOTE:

  • This MOD is available only in Freeroam mode. (NOT Scenarios and Careers)
  • The mission marker will not be displayed if you disable the challenge marker option. See [Options] -> [GAMEPLAY] -> [Freeroam Gameplay Markers].

I added a little flavor to the original AI Race mission.

Overview Extra AI Race Mission extends the official AI Race mission with arcade racing game style gameplay, inspired by Thrill Drive and Burnout 3.

Six race modes, an arcade style HUD and a restart system that brings you and the AI racers back to the last checkpoint. Takedown your rivals in Road Rage, survive the Eliminator, or weave through traffic in Thrill Drive!

How to Use

  • Start Freeroam on a supported map.

  • Find the mission of the race mode you want to play on the big map and start it.

  • Adjust the mission settings before starting:

  • Course: Only the courses that support the race mode of the mission are listed.

  • Laps / Reverse: Available on courses that support them.

  • Rival Count / Rival Car Group: Number of rivals and their vehicle group. A custom group can include vehicles from other mods.

  • Traffic Count / Traffic Type: Amount of traffic and its vehicle mix (Default / Simple / Police / User Custom / Reuse Freeroam Traffic).

  • Watching AI Mode: Sit back and watch the AI race.

  • Time Of Day: Time of day during the race.

  • Race!

Tips

  • Crashed or stuck? Recover your vehicle to restart from the last checkpoint. The AI racers do the same. In Thrill Drive you restart right where you crashed.
  • Recover again during the countdown after a restart to retry the whole challenge. In Time Attack, this ends the run with your best lap so far instead.
  • The Extra AI Race: Settings app (Utility category) lets you toggle HUD elements, tune the rival AI and edit custom rival / traffic vehicle groups.
  • Recommended for Thrill Drive and Road Rage with traffic: Explosive Tanker Mod

      Brilliant mod, my favourite thing to do in beamng. Do you know a fix to the incorrect rival car group issue?

      Excellent mod. My most used activity on BeamNG. I've tried to select a one make race and detune my car to male the races harder but the other cars detune as well. Can anything be done about this?

      The AI doesn’t see the player, so it often crashes into you or spins you out. There’s also a bug at the start of the race where the AI just sits there revving without actually moving forward, forcing you to restart the game to fix it.

      The East Coast Cannonball Run event is only restricted to the Gavril Barstow for some reason.

      A second rating for your recent updates :D It works guys, and its worth disabling whatever other mods for it. Thank you for the ability to create custom race groups from within the game. 12/10. Amazing mod.

      I liked this mod up until it quit working. I've updated to the latest version, but it still doesn't work. It just gets stuck on the loading screen in whichever scenario I try t run, as it fills my BeamNG log with repeating messages: 517.93976|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Rival group select 517.93984|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Frame Delay is done 517.93988|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Racer Start 8 517.94003|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Player move to Start Pos 517.95668|D|libbeamng.controller.getControllerSafe| Didn't find controller 'esc', returning nilController. 517.96681|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Rival group select 517.96692|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Frame Delay is done 517.96696|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Racer Start 8 517.96714|I|GELua._lua_ge_extensions_flowgraph_nodes_debug_log.node| Player move to Start Pos 517.97640|D|libbeamng.controller.getControllerSafe| Didn't find controller 'esc', returning nilController. It just keeps repeating those 5 messages until the log fills up. I can run the official BeamNG scenarios no problem, and I used to be able to run this mod back in BeamNG 0.34, and a few of the Extra AI missions still worked in 0.35 (but not all of them). In 0.36 it threw errors trying to launch and became unplayable. Now, in 0.37 using the 0.5.7 version of the mod it just hangs on loading, as described above.
