Cleanup : off topic or no longer needed posts from Dx test patch

I wasn't sure where to post this, but maybe it could be a fix for both pop ups and rotating objs? I have layered alpha glass pop ups on my EMPERORS SUNRISE mod that seem to work fine, but I created a swing out windscreen for my FLATTY MODEL 8, and it works as intended besides this strange bug with the windscreen alpha. Same alpha I had before I broke it off as a pop up light subob.

I've seen this bug before, like for instance the alpha glass on my pending mod HYPERION, in the pits and in vehicle editor you get this same effect on the mirror turn signals. But they seem to be corrected once you spawn on track, this windscreen is not fixing itself.

I've tried, flipping tris, single and double sided, moving the page with S_glass_alp up and down the list to change it's order in the Textures tab in the editor. Nothing works so far.

Please see the attached photo.

Quote from Scawen :Thanks. I have contacted Victor about it. It's not related to the test patch.

The website update was quite major, including upgrades, so not everything has remained fully operational and Victor is working on those things that he couldn't fully test in advance.

When was the website updated? I'm getting an error when trying to update a couple cars.

"Array ( [aCarModArchive] => The uploaded file is not a valid 7zip archive )"

Tried creating the ZIP from 7d53 and 7d54. (uploaded a coupled updates on other cars with 7d53 yesterday without issue)

Would it be possible to have a second row of animation slots on the motorcycles that are "activated" when the medium and high speed bike physics take over in game? These slots could pertain to lean angle as opposed to steering angle as well.

Quote from Scawen :I understand why you chose to use unrealistic settings before, even if I don't agree with that approach.

To make a good mod in the proper way, the thing is to get as accurate values and settings as possible. If there are physical problems it's really my job to sort that out by improving the physics model. I do understand slight tweaks to mods to deal with imperfect physics.

But the mod still has massive downforce now, even after the steering model changes. Speaking as a mod user (not as a developer) I'd like to explain that makes me simply not want to use the mod at all. No bike in the world has F1-style downforce, as it's impossible. In my opinion the undertray should be deleted, the downforce set to zero and then work on the bike's geometry, mass, weight distribution, suspension, drag, etc. to make it as near to a real 600 as possible, then it will be a fun mod to use.

I've been playing your sim for 17 years, I trust your opinion. I'll make the changes.

[quote="Drifteris;2063719"]I've tested your bike on Westhill and they can't even make past the second turn without sliding off the road (out of 10, 2 crashed on the first turn). Must be issue with insane downforce on that bike.

https://i.imgur.com/8Kvg7fx.gif

There was no logic behind the dowforce decision besides trying to make the bikes feel good. Simply put I don't think even the current physics feel correct under braking. The massive downforce made the bike fun to ride. I'm not really sure if it made the bike faster cornering but it was far easier to run consecutive laps without crashing. I've played with the setup and every number in the editor for a year and have never liked the way anything worked besides that downforce slider.

Quote from Scawen :Can anyone give an example of cases where AI do very bad steering (and maybe spin or crash) when they leave the main path to join the pit lane path, or when they leave the pit lane path to join the main path?

If you think of an example, please state the vehicle name and the track + config.

E.g.: FORMULA US 93 entering pit lane at WE1.

On bikes they crash brutally on the high speed kink style corners on West Hill and the start finish at Blackwood on motorcycles for me. Seems as though they come in way too fast and start to steer way too late. If I lower them to level 2 or less skill they stay on track but they're hilariously slow elsewhere.

Quote from Scawen :Exact placement of the subobject is not that important in the modeller, what is most important is that the object's origin is in the exact centre point of the hub object.

To be clear - no matter where you position that object, it will be drawn at the position and angle of the nearest wheel.

I've got it to where the editor snaps the Hub OB to the correct location, moves and acts like a wheel as intended but when I test the mod in LFS proper it's acting as if they were standard subobs. They lose the Hub Ob function. They do not spin, turn and they move with the body as if they were subobs.

Edit: Oh you HAVE to have the latest test patch in LFS, I see. I thought you just meant you needed the latest LFSE test patch to make the hubs. I guess I'll make the mod private until that feature is forced onto all players in game. Id rather not tank the rating on the mod over it.

Quote from versiu :...or to have different wheelrim options with each body config.
This update opens whole new world for customizing vehicles.

Yeah I'm working on that right now, but It appears to be finicky. The car looks and acts correctly in LFSE but the wheels are off center not moving in game for me. I need to build more solid single object wheels in Blender for this purpose now, a lot of my wheels are built in LFSE as SRE. I know a way to extract them but I may just start over with some of them.

Quote from Scawen :
But how much of a problem is this? At first thought it seems like it would be hard to change how this works, but of course I will look into it if it is bad, or could cause problems in the future.

It's an issue for me because you now have to tie in 1/4 body customization options to the wheel. I will be using this new hub feature to allow my mods to have separately paintable front and rear wheels, and to be able to run 2 different wheel designs and spoke face offsets. Great for Drift and Drag cars.

I'll have to mess with this when I have time, but I wanted to say that I appreciate you also talking about how we can future proof these mods for the physics and lighting updates.

If there's anything else we should be doing so we don't have to emergency update the mods when the final Patch drops I would love to hear it!

Quote from Elwood_Blues :I was expecting that when a point was deleted, the surrounding triangles would just fill in the space, essentially shifting to a low(er) poly image.

Select the point, hold control and select a nearby point and click "fuse to green" you will gain a similar effect.
