Modslab Hub 1.1 - one menu for all my BeamNG mods (free)
Hey everyone! Modslab Hub is a new place for the menus of my BeamNG mods. You install it once, press G, and all my mods that support it show up as tabs in one full-screen menu. So no more separate UI apps and menu keys for every mod.
The hub is free for everyone. By itself it doesn’t add anything to the game, it’s just the menu for my other mods. Right now it works with:
Traffic Reborn 1.7 and newer, both Free and Pro
Random Events from version 2.3 (coming soon)
I’ll be moving more of my mods into it over time.
What’s in it
G opens and closes the menu, F3 works too as a backup key
Every installed mod gets its own tab at the top with its own pages
Pages have different layouts depending on what’s in them: a ring for categories, lists for settings, cards for stats
Favourites: right-click anything to pin it to the list on the left, works across all mods
Search through all mods at once from one box
Status dock: when the menu is closed, a small strip in the corner shows what your mods are doing. It doesn’t block the mouse and hides when the game’s own menu is open
Settings (the gear tab): menu size, close on click outside, close after an action, dock position and your keys
The hub adds itself to your UI layout, you don’t need to set anything up by hand
Keys
G or F3 opens and closes the menu, Esc also closes it. You can rebind both in Options > Controls (search for “Modslab”) or from the hub settings, there’s a button there that takes you straight to the bindings.
Some stock work vehicles already use G for their own stuff: bus kneeling, semi ride height, the dump bed, the loader arm. In those vehicles G stays with the vehicle, and the hub will tell you once to use F3 instead.
Good to know
One copy of the hub works for all my mods. Just keep it in the mods folder next to them and update it separately.
If some other mod still has an old built-in copy of the hub, you’ll see a message on screen with that mod’s name. Update that mod and the message will go away.
Works on BeamNG.drive 0.39.
How to install
Download modslab_hub_1.0.0.0.zip below
Put it in your BeamNG mods folder as it is, don’t unpack it
Start the game, load any map and press G
If something doesn’t work, let me know in the comments.

It's a pity one is supposed to navigate trough a bunch of ads, then download a mod manager to actually download this mod manager to download a mod. What a waste of time, have to pass. So unfortunate since it looks like an amazing mod! Next time just give a DL link ...
Just 1 ad. You don't need to install the mod manager. Can I ask why you're clicking the auto-install button instead of the Generate Link button? Auto-install goes through AVA Mod Manager, while the regular download does NOT require any money and does NOT require downloading anything except the mod itself)
Please upload this somewhere other than Modsfire. Paying subscribers should not have to fight mal/adware on download sites.
There are no viruses on Modsfire, it's one of the biggest mod sites out there. Paid subscribers have a Patreon-files section in the Discord, but you're right, I forgot to add Modslab Hub there, I'll fix that now
