Demolition Derby – The Fairgrounds Returns! (Update 10.12.1) (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

It’s been a long time since the last update, and I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who’s stuck around and been patient. I know it’s been a while — BeamNG updates have broken quite a few things behind the scenes, but this new build finally gets The Fairgrounds running smoothly again!

This release focuses mainly on bringing the mod back to life and refining the core menu system. I’ve held off on including Team Mode for now, as the AI still needs more work before it’s ready for a proper release.

Here’s what’s new in Update 10.12.1 – Menu Updates

Completely refactored the menu logic to improve loading performance and fix several long-standing issues with how vehicles were being loaded.

Updated the overall menu theme for a cleaner and more consistent look.

Fixed an error message that appeared when starting a scenario — this was caused by BeamNG’s drift logic running continuously in the background.

Adjusted the menu to ensure full compatibility with the latest BeamNG update.

Added a new Time of Day option, allowing derbies to take place at different times of day.

Fixed the pause menu option for swapping vehicles it will now load the new BeamNG menu selections screen.

Even though this isn’t a huge feature drop, it’s a solid step forward to make sure everything works again on the current BeamNG version. I’m grateful for all your support and patience — it means a lot, and it keeps me motivated to keep pushing forward.

Troubleshooting

1) When starting the scenario you only get screen showing the black background with press esc to load the menu.

a) Check for old "green_derby.zip" or "demo_green_derby.zip" files in your mods folder and delete them.  Also make sure you don't have "green_derby_1.zip" or other copies of the files in the mods or repo folder.

b) Clear cache

2) AI is not moving

This can caused by a conflicting mod.  Deactivate all mods and try again.  Check the logs by press ~ or check the BeamNG.log files.
