  • API changes

    • Relative camera interface changed to use vectors instead of quaternions.

    • Changed the input and output types of the BeamNGpy.scenario.get_scenarios function:

      • the levels argument is now a list of level names or instances of the Level class to get scenarios for

      • the return value is now a dictionary where the keys are the level names, and the values are lists of scenarios for the given level

    • Removed the level argument of BeamNGpy.scenario.get_current, as the level information is now queried from the simulator.

    • Function added to the Vehicle class to deflate vehicle tires, e.g. to simulate tire blowout.

  • Bugfixes

    • Bug fixed with AdvancedIMU sensor, when using gravity. Did not work from BeamNGpy before.

    • Bug fixed with AdvancedIMU sensor, relating to the smoothing not working from BeamNGpy.

    • Bug fixed with the relative camera, which was not operating correctly.

  • Miscellaneous

    • The physics update rate of BeamNG.tech launched from BeamNGpy is being changed from 4000 to 2000 times per second to be consistent with the default for the simulator. To change the physics update rate to a different value, you can pass the -physicsfps <DESIRED_VALUE> argument to the simulator binary.

    • Scenarios created using BeamNGpy are now using the JSON format for prefab generation instead of the old TorqueScript format.

    • BeamNG.tech connection to the simulator is now by default listening on the local interface only (127.0.0.1). You can change it to listen on other IP addresses by using the listen_ip argument in the BeamNGpy.open function, or the -tcom-listen-ip command-line argument, if you are not launching BeamNG.tech using BeamNGpy.

    • Optimized Python processing of the depth camera image (thanks for the contribution!)

    • Small refactor of unit tests, the automated sensor scripts are now also runnable under the pytest framework

    • Invalid vehicle and scene object names produced error in the simulation, now the validation is done on BeamNGpy side

      • name cannot start with the % character or a digit

      • name cannot contain the / character

    • Added new options to BeamNGpy.scenario.load called connect_player_vehicle and connect_existing_vehicles

      • connect_player_vehicle is True by default and it connects the player vehicle to the simulation after scenario load

      • connect_existing_vehicles is True by default and it connects all the already existing vehicles to the simulation after scenario load

      • setting these options to False can reduce the loading time by skipping the connection-establishing part, and these vehicles can still be connected manually using Vehicle.connect

    • Added crash_lua_on_error option to the BeamNGpy constructor

      • behaves in the same way as the option of the same name in BeamNGpy.open

Version 1.26

    • Added new option to BeamNGpy.scenario.load called precompile_shaders

      • If True (the default), asynchronous shader compilation is disabled. That means the first loading of a map will take longer time, but all parts of the map will be preloaded. If False, the camera sensor can have issues shortly after starting the scenario.

    • Better handling of errors and crashes in the BeamNGpy TCP protocol.

    • Fixed vehicle.control with zero integer arguments being ignored.

    • Re-added BeamNGpy.scenario.get_vehicle (removed by accident in the last release).

    • Some of the functions on the Vehicle object are also moved into modules for easier navigation:

      • Vehicle.ai - controlling the AI of the vehicle

      • Vehicle.logging - controlling the in-game logging

    • the previous, not modularized API is still available for backwards compatibility reasons
