BeamNG.research Connection problem

[autonomobil]

I just downloaded (via SVN) the BeamNG.research repository.
https://projects.beamng.com/projects/research/files is empty. In a conda enviroment I installed BeamNGpy via pip install beamngpy.

When I try the example code with west_coast_usa, BeamNG starts but after a short time it threws the following error:

055.319|D|GELua.scenario_scenarios.scenarios|should run: false; state: running 055.322|E|GELua.core_levels.levels|info.json missing: /levels/garage/info.json 055.325|E|GELua.core_levels.levels|No entry point for level found: /levels/garage.

What could be the problem?

Hi,

for future reference "https://projects.beamng.com/projects/research/files is empty" has always been the case. The correct files are under: https://projects.beamng.com/projects/research/repository/show/trunk
If BeamNG.research starts, then you have the files that you need.

Regarding "055.442|E|GELua.ResearchCom|Error reading from socket: closed", it's a wild guess but did you check if you have firewall rules which prevent opening sockets from python?

Hey, thanks for the answer

At the bottom of the beamng research homepage under DOWNLOAD it has a link to https://projects.beamng.com/projects/research/files ...so that should maybe be changed

I will check my firewall

Excuse me. I encountered the same problem, may i ask whether you have solved it?

I tried
1- turning off firewalls
2- running it as administrator
3- freeing all ports
None of above worked

Hi @oooooverflow and @autonomobil, I solved the problem using the windows powershell. it does not work if you run it from cmd.

If you write the commands on powershell it works perfectly fine!

[vladimirwest]

The game is running perfectly when python script is executing.
So simplest solution that worked for me is add time.sleep(99999) to the end of the main python script.

@vladimirwest Can you please describe where exactly did you add time.sleep() ?
I tried adding it inside def main() function, but still it is not working.
