You may wish to provide some more context for your question. What is it about a car you wish to edit? What cars do you wish to edit; you've made this thread in off-topic so one would assume it's not LFS related?
Without more information you're only going to get sarcastic answers like Forbin's.
Facetious? Well, I do say, this accusation is quite preposterous. I was merely attempting to relieve this chap of the burden of possessing a functional computer, lest he again insult the work of one Eric Bailey.
I prefer "donkey," thanks.
Yeah, I had a pretty good idea where this was going. Judging by the fact that the OP's common sense of computing is severly lacking, I'm willing to bet his skills at modifying the game art are similarly lacking, making this an ultimately pointless thread, regardless of any moral or legal issues.
One does need to consider about the people who first hear (see?) about LFS from the sheer number of youtube vidoes and screeshots/edits done with edited .vobs. Its to be expected that people will be asking about how to change the shape. Especially if they've not been active in this forum, and not aware of seeming ban of anything related to .vobs. Funny as it might have been for some, the OP could have lost (maybe their parents/brothers) important files due to a comment like that - assuming that English is not his first language.
That went out of the window.
------------------------------
In all fairness, editing the 3D models is possible via 3rd party programs. However, posting these (direcly or posting links to access the mods) are not allowed in this forum.
Maybe its time to update the agreement? Something along the lines stating that any discussions about .vob modifications, screenshots, links to videos with cars with edited .vobs will not be tolerated.
I'm fine with the above. But people, as quoted above, say its fobbiden - is it really? If I were to edit a .vob, for my personal use - could I ask for help regarding that, or not?
All I found is the following,
^Interesting thread, that. Been trying to dig up posts, but couldn't find anything "official" fobidding discussion/posting images/movies related to edited .vob.
Certainly not trying to stir things up - just wanted a clarification.
Thanks for reading, and please do point out if I've missed anything "official".
The current stance is, we are not tolerating discussion of content editing either. Why? It's using the official, developer funded forum to support more additional content for free that would otherwise be the devs source of income, so it's breaking their business model.
This can of course change, but only if the devs tell us. I see this as an eventuality, as we'll either get tools to do the job ourselves, or the LFS project will have gone so long without new content it will be considered dead. I don't think either is happening anytime soon, so I don't think there's anything else to say on this matter now.
MartinDWermuth - hopefully this has answered your question now.
