Hello, friends!

As part of the contest from Mr.BoS and STMods.ru for the best map of 2018, we are launching a vote – in the first stage, we will choose the best map in each group. There will be 5 such groups. Then, in a separate vote, we will select the best of the best!

This vote will last one week. After it ends, we will start voting for the next group, and so on.

Maps that make it to the final vote will be made publicly available without author attribution during the voting period, so voters can try out each map before voting.

In the final fifth group, 4 maps also participated; we invite you to get acquainted with them through the stream recordings and choose the best one:



#bestMap2018

- 4 own addons;
- Custom/own cargo;
- Animations of the suspension.

- 1 garage;

- 3 points of exploration.

.dll library expanding RAM usage for the MudRunner editor.

Installation:
1. Unpack the d3dx9_43.dll file into the "Spintires Mudrunner - Editor Beta" folder containing SpinTiresEditor.exe. (Steam or pirated editor)
2. Launch the editor, read the message, close the editor.

Normal usage:
- Run the editor as usual. Now it can use up to 4GB of RAM.
- When you exit the editor, allow the black window (command prompt) to do its job and close itself. This is necessary for the files to be renamed for the subsequent launch of the editor.

However, sometimes on Windows 10, after closing the editor, the black window does not appear. And when you launch the editor again, you see the message about the first launch after installing the library into the editor folder. I don’t know why this happens – but that’s the reality.

For this, the archive includes a .bat file "MudrunnerEditor.bat". If you encounter this problem (the first launch message appears every time you start the editor with the library) – use "MudrunnerEditor.bat" to launch the editor.

I hope this will be useful to many, as I myself faced memory shortage issues with the editor.

- Updated, added autumn version.
- 1 garage (closed);
- 1 refueling;
- 8 intelligence Points;
- 2 points of automatic, 2 points of manual loading of logs;
- 2 sawmills;
- 2 auto at start (replaceable) + 4 auto random;

Map size 1x1 km. There is invisible dirt on the map.

This program allows you to save and load game save files at any moment to prevent them from being overwritten by the subsequent save that occurs when exiting a session. For example, if you are worried about crossing a difficult bridge, you can exit the session as you approach the bridge, and the game will save (before the bridge). Then, run this .bat file, and it will save your position in another folder. In case of an unsuccessful crossing, you can load the previously saved position and try crossing the bridge again (or just give up on this doomed endeavor :))

The same applies to multiplayer, but after the player-server exits, all session participants must save the game.

I was motivated to write this program by team members getting stuck in multiplayer, after which they could no longer enter the game! Periodic saves help save the situation.

You can also completely delete all your saves.

Attention! To use this program, you need to disable Steam Cloud synchronization in Steam (cloud storage)!
To do this, open the Steam library, select Spintires: MudRunner from the list of games, right-click => Properties.
Select the Updates tab, and at the very bottom, uncheck the box for "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization." That’s it!

Installation:
Unpack the bat file anywhere and run it.

Technical information: The program copies saves to the folder C:\MudRunnerSaves\

The time has come for the developers to share news about MudRunner.

As we already know, public beta testing of Steam Workshop map support has been launched for PC players. This version also includes an updated editor.

Depending on how successful this testing goes, the developers plan to release an update for the stable PC version of the game. Please make sure you try the test version; your feedback is very valuable!

You can find out how to access the public beta here.

There is more news concerning the long-term development of the game.

The developers are very pleased with how players received the "Valley" DLC! It was the first expansion for Spintires: MudRunner, and it added not only a new map but also three new vehicles.

The developers are very happy that this content resonated with the community, and they are currently working on a similar expansion, which they plan to show us next month or a little later. The update will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. More details will be shared soon.

As we already know, work is underway on MudRunner USA (working title), and the developers are still aiming to release this project this year.

Obviously, MudRunner USA is being developed for the USA and will be set in America, where a huge part of the Spintires community is located, so the developers want to showcase the most popular local vehicles in this version of the game.

The developers continue to explore options for adding mods to the console versions of Spintires: MudRunner and thank modders for their contribution in helping make Spintires: MudRunner a better game, but, as always—there are no concrete plans for implementing mods right now. Most likely, mods for the console versions of Spintires: MudRunner will be implemented as DLC.

Finally, work on the Spintires: MudRunner version for Nintendo Switch is still ongoing. No details yet, but they promise to share more in the future.
