Lebedka Tow is a tow rope and winch for BeamNG. drive 0.39 with BeamMP multiplayer support. Pull your friends out of the water, mud and ditches, pull broken cars, hook any cars, including mods.
FEATURES
• 6 types of cables with a real 3D model and textures: nylon cable, sling, kinetic (recovery) cable, steel cable, chain made of links and a winch with adjustable length.
• Menu by key: the choice of cable type, length, stiffness, hooks (front / rear / car), a list of cars nearby, active cables with tension in kN.
• Quick one-key coupling with the nearest car, pressing it again detaches.
• Works with any machines, no jbeam editing is needed.
• The cable pulls the whole car, so the bumpers, doors and panels do not come off. There is a jerk protection (Soft/ Normal/ Hard).
• Synchronization in BeamMP: both players feel the tether.
• Winch: Use the keys to wind and release the cable.
WHAT TO DOWNLOAD FROM the mod are two files, they are needed for different cases: 1. The first link is THE CLIENT (Lebedka_Tow_v1.1_client.zip ). It is necessary for all players, including for single player games. 2. The second link is A SERVER PLUGIN (Lebedka_Tow_v1.1_server.zip ). It is only needed by the owner of the BeamMP server. In a single-player game and players on other servers don't need it. INSTALLATION (SINGLE PLAYER) 1. Download the first archive (client) and open it. The lebed_k_tow file.Do NOT unpack the zip. 2. Put the lebed_k_tow.zip to the mods folder: %LOCALAPPDATA%\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current\mods 3. In the game: Settings → Control → search for "Tow" → assign your keys (category Lebedka Tow). INSTALLATION ON A BeamMP SERVER (for the server owner)
1. Download both archives.
2. From the second archive (server plugin), unzip the folder LebedkaTow to Resources\Server on the server. You should get Resources\Server\LebedkaTow\main.lua.
3. File lebedka_tow.zip from the first archive, put it in Resources\Client on the server.
4. Restart the server. Players will receive the client mod automatically at the entrance, they do not need to install it manually. Without the server plug-in, the cable between different players does not synchronize.
THE Mod only works FOR PLAYERS ON SOMEONE ELSE'S SERVER if the server owner has installed both files. You don't need to download anything yourself, the client part will come from the server. If the cable does not cling, ask the owner to install a server plug-in.
CONTROL (assigned in the game settings) Tow menu — open the menu; Quick tow / release — quick coupling and uncoupling; Release all ropes — unhook everything; Winch in / Winch out — winch. KNOWN PROBLEMS • Gum effect. In some situations, the cable can behave like a rubber band: cars pull up against each other, then fly back, especially when starting abruptly and when the towed car stands still or rests on the ground. This happens most often: in multiplayer with a high ping (someone else's car on your screen lags behind the real one); with a kinetic cable, it stretches on purpose; with rigid cables (chain, steel) during a jerk; when a light machine pulls a heavy one. What helps: start smoothly and choose slack, not jerk; reduce Stiffness in the menu; take a nylon rope or sling instead of chain and steel; put Soft protection; do not make the rope shorter than necessary. • In multiplayer, each player counts the power on their side, so if the connection is poor, both screens may show slightly different things. • The cable does not break, with a strong jerk it simply stretches to the limit, and with a very long distance (car reset, teleport) it detaches itself. • The menu is in English. It was tested on BeamNG.drive 0.39 and BeamMP. |
