Chaos Mode - Physics Roulette v1.0

Heads up before you spend anything: this version goes free for everyone in a few days, a week at most.

Here is the deal. 1.0 is the supporter release right now. The second 1.1 lands, 1.0 goes free for everybody. When 1.2 drops, 1.1 goes free. Every version ends up free eventually. Getting it here just means you play it first and you help fund the next batch of chaos. Totally your call: grab it now, or wait a few days.

What it is

Every few seconds the roulette spins and something happens to your car. Zero gravity. Double torque. A nitro blast out of nowhere. A launch straight up into the sky. A flat tire. Reversed steering. A full disco strobe.

Think Mario Party, but for BeamNG.

Runs on any map, needs no other mods, and no two drives ever feel the same. Switch it on, drive, and try to survive whatever the wheel throws at you.

Three ways to play

Sandbox - pure chaos. Events fire on a timer and you just deal with them.

Combo - you score for surviving each event on your wheels and for driving fast. String survivals together and the multiplier climbs all the way to x8. Roll the car and the combo breaks, back to x1. Score, multiplier and your best run sit on the HUD.

Challenge - a destination gets marked on the road and you have to reach it while the roulette keeps hammering you. Every leg is timed, a fresh point is picked when you arrive, and your best time is kept.

The events (16 of them)

Engine

• Torque Surge - your engine torque gets multiplied. Instant tire smoke.

• Stall - the engine dies, then cranks itself back to life.

Forces

• Random Kick - a hard shove out of nowhere.

• Nitro Blast - a surprise bottle of NOS throws you forward.

• Launch - an invisible hand flings the car into the air.

• Ground Slam - a magnet slams you down onto the tarmac.

• Bunny Hop - the car bounces down the road like it is on springs.

Gravity

• Zero-G - gravity switches off and everything floats.

• Moon Gravity - low gravity, huge floaty jumps.

Grip

• Flat Tire - a tire goes flat. On Nightmare all four go, and you ride on the rims.

Control

• Reverse Steering - left is right and right is left. Good luck.

Time

• Bullet-Time - the whole world drops into slow motion. Off by default, flip on Experimental to use it.

Visual

• Rainbow Smoke - your tire smoke turns full technicolor.

• Earthquake - the camera shakes like the ground is coming apart.

• Disco Mode - the headlights strobe and the horn goes off.

Special

• Mercy - the rare good roll. Fully repairs the car and sets it back on its wheels. That little bit of hope is exactly what makes the wheel so addictive.

Jackpots

These can hit on any spin.

• Double Trouble - two events fire at the same time.

• Evil Streak - a rare one that makes the next few events nasty.

Everything lives in the radial menu

Hold E, go to Freeroam Actions, then Chaos:

• Start / Stop the roulette

• Roll Now to fire one event instantly

• Stop All Effects - your panic button

• Settings:

  • Mode - Sandbox, Combo or Challenge

  • Intensity - Chill, Chaos or Nightmare (how often and how hard the events hit)

  • Frequency - one event every 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds

  • Event Pool - turn whole categories on or off (Engine, Forces, Gravity, Grip, Control, Time, Visual, Special)

  • Notifications - a little popup on each event

  • Experimental - allow the riskier stuff like Bullet-Time

Before every event lands you get a quick spin animation, so you always get that lootbox moment.

Hotkeys: U starts and stops the roulette, I rolls an event right now.

There is also an optional Chaos Mode app you can add from the Apps menu for a countdown bar, the spin, and your Combo or Challenge readout.

Install

Packed (the easy way)

1. Download the zip and do not unzip it.

2. Drop it into your BeamNG mods folder, for example ...\BeamNG.drive\<version>\mods\

3. Start the game, open Manage Mods, and turn on Chaos Mode: Physics Roulette.

Unpacked (if you like to poke around)

1. Extract the zip into ...\BeamNG.drive\<version>\mods\unpacked\chaosmode\ so that info.json sits right there at ...\unpacked\chaosmode\info.json

2. Start the game, open Manage Mods, and turn it on.

Then load any free roam map, hop in a car, hold E, go to Freeroam Actions, Chaos, and hit Start. That is all there is to it.

What is coming next

• More events: micro teleport, 180 spin, turbo lag into surge, input delay, locked steering, sticky grip, doors and panels flying off, a gravity anomaly, hot potato

• Saved best times and leaderboards for Challenge

• More rare jackpots

• Whatever you ask for, so drop your ideas in the comments

Standalone, no other mods needed, works on every map. Have fun, and send me your best clips.
