Scawen made some updates of the layout system in 2022 but it is expected to be released after the new tracks & tyre physics.

Quote from Scawen :

To be clear, this is all for the development version and cannot be implemented into the current public version. There are still tracks and tyre physics to finish before it can be released.

Quote from matze54564 :

The normal installation programs in the Patch Test Forum could simply be renamed from .exe to .7z and then unpacked with any packer and manually synchronized. This did not work with E13.

It worked for me:

Quote from matze54564 :

I couldn't even install 7z without taking a detour through Universal Extractor.

What do you mean by this?

We can't access your computer folders directly like that.

Since demo users can't upload attachments, you can use a 3rd party image hosting service like https://imgur.com/ and share a link here.

Quote from jh89 :

I dont know where to ask this but why this keep happening?
The name is completely identical and it is swiched to .7z file...
What am I missing here...

Did you use the "EXPORT mod for UPLOAD" function to export the 7z file?

Quote from jh89 :

Or this one

You must use the latest LFS Editor test patch: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/106792-LFS-Editor-Patch-0-7E8

I see, it's because the patch is from 0.7A to 0.7E13 and the new background was added in 0.7C. Ideally the patch should only include changed files from 0.7E to 0.7E13, but maybe there are some technical reasons why it's done this way

In fact both of your suggestions have already been suggested before (even back in 2005) and they already appear in the suggested improvements log thread.

Quote from RealistAdam :

I have a small request or suggestion.

This is not the correct place for off-topic requests. You can create a thread in the Improvement suggestions forum.

Maybe the text in the first post isn't big and red enough

Quote from Scawen :

PLEASE... NO OFF TOPIC FEATURE REQUESTS!

In Options - Controls: set Gear shift mode: shifter
In Options - Controls - Shifter tab: make sure that all gears are assigned to the correct shifter positions.

Can you share a link where you bought the model from?

When moving the blinking text input cursor quickly inside a text field in LFS, I tend to be less precise with placing the cursor to the correct place or keeping track of the current position of it, because it "disappears" every half a second due to the blinking animation.

The solution would be to reset the blinking sequence whenever the cursor changes position, be it by using the arrow keys or a mouse button.

Here is a comparison between Notepad and LFS:



This seems like a minor detail, but it does slow me down especially when I edit many values in LFS Editor many times.

Please use the JAR discord to dispute a ban. Closing this thread.

Added 7 default skins:
- Michelin
- Police
- Gendarmerie
- Pompiers
- Assistance Lemon
- EDW GDW Services Westhill
- LFSPoste
Thanks to System01.54,THEFRENCHDESTOYER!

Added configurations with an orange or a blue beacon. It can be activated using the /light extra on/off/toggle command.

In triangle mode, often times I select a mapping and want to apply it to multiple parts of the mesh. When I do this, I have to select a mapping in the list of mappings on the left and confirm the selection every time.

It would be cool to have a special mode which would make it faster to apply a selected mapping to triangles when using CTRL+LMB or SHIFT+CTRL+LMB, without having to do the extra steps. Something like a "brush" or "paint bucket" with a mapping.

There could be a new toggle button to enable this mode and if it was toggled on, pressing/holding CTRL+LMB, pressing SHIFT+CTRL+LMB or CTRL+RMB would apply the currently selected mapping immediately instead of selecting the triangles.

When changing the mod status from WIP to non-WIP, there could be an option to move the mod discussion thread from the Mods - Work in Progress forum to Mod Comments, or even make it automatic.

Actually I wrote it wrong, it's not possible to directly import an OBJ file into a subobject.

- Enter the Modeller right from the main menu of the LFS Editor
- Click the OBJ button and load the 3D object
- Click SAVE to save it into 3dob folder
- Close the Modeller and load your mod in Vehicle Editor
- Go to Modeller, select your subobject and click "load" to load a new subobject

You need to create a new subobject and import the OBJ file into it.

1. Enter the Modeller (press E)
2. Make sure you are in "subob" mode in the top bar
3. Click "new subobject" green button
4. Click "OBJ" next to the load/save buttons at the bottom left

In single player mode, you can do whatever you want with mods using the test mod feature.

If you want to use mods online, they must go through a review process before they are published. Subsequent updates to a mod are not actively reviewed, but significant changes to a mod after initial publication are not allowed - the mod must keep its original character.

There is documentation about mods in the LFS Manual: https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Vehicle_Mods

There are links to LFS Editor guides and video tutorials, or how to submit your mod to be used online.

This is not how you submit a mod. Check the guide here: https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Vehicle_Mod_Submission

Sorry, VOB mods are not supported here, please use the official vehicle mods system.

I like your idea with including the binary data types in the reflect metadata and ditching the very long lfspack.ts file - I'm not a big fan of that one either

Did you take inspiration from Node InSim? The code looks suspiciously similar. It’s MIT so it’s not an issue, I’m just wondering.

Version 6:

New configurations with skinnable numberplates
Fix: corrected interior mapping around doors
Fix: rear part of rear cabin is M2 color now

Version 5:

Fixed side mappings on the skin to be the same size

Quote from Ibtasim6781 :

Thanks for the skin support

However I found an issue with it: Right and Left side mappings don't match

Right (top)
1826x711

Left (bottom)
1795x727

Thanks, I will have a look tonight and submit a fix soon.
