Quote from SurungenTofs :

I think it was a very successful work, I think only the exhaust sound should be...

Current sound (version 1) is actually taken from a real life version. Feel free to share one if u think it would fit well

this is even worse now, I used a high speed internet and still had high ping and constant timeouts .its really annoying game in now unplayable
I tried using VPN, WARP, phone data over hotspot, different WIFI, Different ISP.. all had same result.
I'm now certain its an issue on hosting server side.
please take a look.

yep, this was abandoned for a while ..not anymore
here's the full work as of now.
90% completion
needs :
- LOD2 and LOD3
- V12 Badges
- Animation
- Engine Sound (appreciate if anyone can provide a suitable one)
- Skin template

a change, so as seen previously i was making the big van hool replica seen above, well i ended up not liking the outcome after it was done
so i decided to start over
but this time with something diffrent but same.. you know.. same same,,but diffrent.
so here it is..
the new double decker in lfs which is btw finished and will be uploaded today for review.
the SCAMA DD
a replica of a Scania Enviro 400
a modern London bus.
here are the build process for the reviewers .

i find it really annoying and the game becoming really unplayable because of the constant errors and connections error that recently seem to happen more often than before.
As a resident of syria i don't know what's the nearest server i should be connected to and downloading mods and online multiplayer from.
It seems to not be suitable as of now, the connection keeps getting timeouts, connection reset , didn't receive okand mods fail to download and they take really long time trying to download.
Regional mod download ia broken since it was a thing. It somehow routes me to japan and that's even worse.

I can't seem to find anything i can do
And pretty sure its lfs servers that are either very far or junk.
and nope, my internet is fine.

what can i do.

so ive been up making this for sometime now.
this double decker bus is actually mixed between van hool TD924 and TDX27 .. still not detailed replica
see i changed front back and side looking
total overhaule of the side to actually fit 2 doors per side without having to deal with swapping related issues than may appear for skins, so there will be 2 doors each side and will be activatable using separate switches. (may have changes actually towards the rear door, i might delete some window on bottom deck)
for rear and front i just had to wing it.

heres how it looks in lfs currently, i think ill start texturing now.
expected total height 4.1 meters

Quote from seksen :

This vehicle escaped my notice, it's so fun. The engine pulls surprisingly well...

Thanks, unfortunately theres so little space for driver position adjustments. However i was infact planning to modify the weight distribution so theres more weight on the rear. Rollover will be minimized, but i just didn't have the time yet

Quote from Scawen :

Is it really something that behaves like the 2D drag box, only it is separate from that and doesn't select points? Can you write a bit more description and a couple of use cases so I can visualise it better?

- it doesn't select points or triangles.
- can be drawn freely from minimum of 2 points.
- can not be drawn or deleted by Right Mouse Button.
- own ON and OFF option as well as Clear

Example:

helps in cases such as:

Quote from Scawen :

If that makes sense, would it achieve what you are suggesting? I think your description is what I've said but you type in '0'.

it sets value 0 for all selected points:
https://www.lfs.net/attachment/573096

Currently only effects for R so heres a way of making this a thing:

• have 3 buttons named as (R / F / U) below a button called (Snap to) which replaces (Center)
  

selected points snaps accordingly.

steering wheel is in place, seats too.
minor details and modeling is done.

not really a suggestion but, the servers feel slow as hell in my region.. joining a peaked server with many mods starts downloading would take ages. its really annoying. also are japan servers still dead? because i have regional download disabled along time ago. just tried it,, even worse.. not a single download success.. idk maybe a thing where we can select download server from ? i suppose my nearest one is in turkey .. i dont even know why regional downloads choses japan

let there be lights..
and ofc some interior details.
next stage: seats
have thoughts or know some interesting rare variations this car had ? thought and suggestions are welcome!

Extrude function : when you click E the extrude options pop up. It would be helpful if the accept button is both Enter and E
Allows for quick extrusion with last used setting.. Just double click E to extrude.

Auto assign layer : tris generated from Extrude or Lathe should be automatically assigned to the active layer (if layer 0, the main one is turned off).. or layer could be determined by shift+rmb prior to function.

Static Line : Draw a line either from selecting multiple points (as trace function) or hold and drag mouse. Similar to select box. But only its job is to give a guide line thats helpful to see tris edge, heading or pitch when in 2D view.


Suggested activation keys:
- LMB+RMB and drag
- Enable Guide Line option On then Trace points.

Snap to : edit the existing button Center, but have an option to snap selected points to one of the axis, 0 the value of X, Y or Z
currently only available for X

so i kind of got excited and i finished the dashboard!
feels neat as i imagined it.
for the curious, these red tris is a marker for me to know that there's a missing detail, like a window button or a leverage or a light.. etc
oh and did i mention that this will have the 6.0L V12 engine ? so there's that.
my ears are plying a high frequency because of the clicking amount lel.. to be continued

Suggesting the usage of the recent older version of a mod (if available) if the mod is taking long to download for any reason until new updated one is done downloading. Maybe it appears without the need to pit and rejoin/spec, just like skins.
Instead of it showing as a dot on the map and being invisible.
Also when a mod is taking long to download, the mod image list request seems to prevent user from entering mod list at all.
Until mod has downloaded.
so maybe this is a semi solution?

getting most of the dash done.
needs more modifications to doors so some lines actually fit.
but super happy with how its turning out.
left to do finishhing up dashboard, seats and steering wheel

awesome mod, put one handed animations feels weird.
maybe put normal saloon animation and imo it will be superb

back to the golden era when this was and still an iconic Benz invention.
this modeling process has been going on for a while but i just decided to make the thread now.
the out side is near full completion.
i already started on the inside , but that's to be included in another progress.
just a side note: no hopes up, with current mod submission limitation this may sit here a while.. until mods start to get approved so i have some slots.
until then.. i must perfect the heck outta this

Quote from Scawen :

I think normally you should use swap side?

For reference, in the UK we have RHD vehicles but indicator stick is to the left of the steering column, I think it's also on the left in LHD cars?

Interesting, I didn't think its on the left aswell on RHD, so i guess thats ok now to use as it is for a indicator stick, but may still be wrong for other use

Although this is a bug, i didn't find editor bugs report thread. Sorry

The subobject Rotator have an issue with side swap.
I have an indicator stick that is mapped to the indicators signals (-1,0,1)
the vehicle is built as LHD, and the function works properly.
However when subobject set to Full Flip and test swap. the function is wrong in direction
so when u hit indicator Left the stick goes to the right and vise versa.
It works as expected in swap side but it's becomes wrongly placed in a RHD vehicle
