how did you even complete a lap

Actually looks sick
Any clue when you're going to be opening for testing?

Hello all,
I have a working prototype for a VW Golf IV estate in LFS, but I cannot publish it, because the polycount is just under 150k. I need to convert from .SRE to .OBJ so I can then run it through a program that reduces the polycount down to just under 60k.

Thanks in advance,
Nic

I completely agree. A - The chance of the LFS devs making the mods system available to s2 or s1 users is almost none. B - The likelihood of someone spending just £12 more to play with mods and so many more servers is quite high. All the proof I need is the amount of demo vs licensed users playing before the mods update vs after the mods update.

Looking good Scawen! Any idea when this version will go public?

These are just crude ideas, but please take them into consideration

1 - In the car setup screen, there could maybe be a button that triggers an animation of the car going over bumpy/smooth tarmac, or rallycross dirt that could make tuning the car's suspension a lot easier. There would also be a speed slider to control how fast the animation is played.

2 - In the car info tab in the garage (Engine type, Power, Displacement, etc.), if there was a v8 engine in the car then the info would display if it was a flatplane or a crossplane.

Quote from Scawen :

Do you not like this 'steerer' thing which is specially designed for that?

i find that this helps massively when driving bikes

Vehicle mod: FZ80.6
Details page: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/4755A5

SHORT DESCRIPTION:

A Touring car with a FZ-50 bodyshell

DESCRIPTION:

Quote :

Changes from the normal FZ-50:

-Double Wishbone suspension front & rear.
-NEW 3.6L V6 pumping out 421bhp and 302lbft.
-Wider and thicker tyres.
-NEW spokes that I stole from the 'XFi Imprint 8'.
-Lower C-O-G.
-Ricers skin because LONG LIVE RICERS!
-No front number plate.
-New suspension allows more aggressive camber.
-Downforce Front, Centre and Rear allows for far more agressive handling.

COVER SCREENSHOT:

1 - Load the mod in lfs, then close lfs. Open the "mods" folder of your LFS
2 - Drag the folder that contains your mod into the "vehicles" folder if your LFS editor
3 - Open LFS editor, and select it from the list

Drop some suggestions here.

Plop suggestions for the Imprint 8 here :>

just watch the video. pretty self-explanatory...

i reckon a tad bit more power would be great

Another graphical problem - on Aston, there are some splits on the road surface that disappear as you get closer.

Another problem: If the car has 7 speed transmission and 4WD, the torque split and final drive will be mashed together.

Quote from Scawen :

Thanks, I agree my 'improvement' to the names above cars is doing some strange things. It was supposed to raise them a bit for the high vehicles, but it seems to vary depending on the track, or location. I'll look into that!

Is that damage problem reproducible? Does it happen only to that car or did you see it on others?

I haven't seen any other cases in other mods/official cars, its probably something with the .veh

nametags are going crazy + car model becomes corrupted.

cant wait to give this thing a spin

One issue with mod engine sound: if you shift+a, all engine sounds are displayed.

excellent work Scawen!

Quote from SamH :

Good enough for me!

yep

hi guys
when i try to use CSR it says "MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies missing"
how do I fix this!

Quote from rane_nbg :

It does sound like a nice idea, no pun intended. But it may create a lot of unnecessary complexity in the net code, which is really not needed.

What happens if you want to download a replay? One would need to download additional stuff just for the sound parameters. During a race, one would need to constantly send and receive all this data from all connected players. I see lags, problems.. I do hope I am wrong about this.

Well, I was thinking that the new 12 packets per sec would allow it....

nope

@Scawen

I had an idea for improving the lfs experience.
When you customize your engine sound using Shift + A, it sounds like everyone has
your sound applied
so if it was server-side, everyone would have their own custom engine sound without anyone
else sounding like they have it.




(I really explained this badly)
