BeamNG.drive Repository vs OpenRA Resource Center

The BeamNG.drive Repository is a free catalog of community modifications for BeamNG.drive, available on the web and inside the game. Categories include vehicles, scenarios, terrains and maps, interface apps, sounds, license plates, track builder items, skins, Automation content and mods of mods. The in-game repository supports search and category filters, and shows statistics such as ratings and dates. Players can install through the in-game Mod Manager or website actions. Subscribing downloads a mod and enables automatic updates when its author changes it. Browser downloads use ZIP archives that can be placed in the game's mods folder without extraction. The Mods Manager can update, enable, disable and manage installations. BeamNG recommends using no more than 20–30 mods simultaneously because conflicts can cause problems, and warns that older mods may be outdated or broken. BeamNG.drive supports Windows and experimental Linux; other systems and compatibility layers are unsupported.

OpenRA Resource Center is a free website for sharing maps and other game-related files within the OpenRA community. It supports standard, advanced, and modded maps, as well as missions, for three games. Players can upload a map and select it in a game they host or join; other players joining can automatically download it. Browsing filters cover mod, category, format, parser, tileset, player count, author, and uploader, with search by title, description, or hash. Listings show details including author, uploader, revision, player count, comments, and rating. Users can view revisions and maps with reports, or filter for duplicates, advanced maps, Lua maps, and outdated maps. The Map API supports map downloads and information retrieval by hash or ID, including details for the newest map. Map information is returned as JSON, with YAML available by adding a `/yaml/` URL prefix. The site documents map storage locations for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Sign-in supports local accounts and social login. Upload rules limit submissions to OpenRA-related files and require written permission for another person's work.
