BeamSplit v1.6.1
BeamSplit v1.6.1 makes personal mods genuinely shared and zero-copy.
- Every player profile now mounts the same existing mod library through a Windows
directory junction instead of storing another copy of each ZIP. - The normal BeamNG
mods\repofolder is detected by default, so every local player
sees the same packages immediately with essentially no additional storage. - BeamSplit never writes to the mounted source library.
- The multiplayer folder is excluded from the mount, keeping the pinned BeamMP client
and server downloads isolated. - The Mods page is simpler: one switch shares the library with all local profiles;
per-package checkboxes now mean only “BeamMP server sends this.” - Server packages still support curated BeamSplit mod packs and remain tracked so
hand-installed files are not overwritten or removed.
Validation: Release and portable publish completed with 0 warnings and 0 errors. The
shipping EXE created junctions for two temporary player profiles, read one source ZIP
through both, removed both links, and verified that the source remained untouched. All
existing BeamMP, auto-join, audio, screen-layout, and setup checks also passed.
