Re: Calculate Car Stats doesn't overwrite parameters.txt

With the advent of the pack system, it's now sent to packs/local with the idea that the only way to modify/overwrite what's in other packs is to explicitly do so, either through putting the content you're working on in local or copy/pasting files over. I suppose in this case, when packs evidently ha...

Ability to activate triggers with physics objects in addition to cars

Triggers can currently only be set off when a car drives through them, but with the advent of custom animations it would open up quite a number of opportunities to make tracks more interactive. A few examples just off the top of my head: - Detect when an object has been disturbed, eg. stacks of abc ...

Re: Blender 2.79 Re-Volt Add-on

Nope. As mentioned in the documentation, the plugin is designed for versions between 2.79b up to (but not including) 2.8x, where Blender went through a re-structuring and broke reverse compatibility for a number of things. 2.9x carries those same changes and then some. Blender 2.79b can be gotten fr...

Multiple gamemodes in one level folder

It'd be nice to have the ability to make a stunt arena, battle tag etc out of a normal map (or vice versa) without having to completely duplicate the folder and rename everything inside for the multiple versions of the same track to coexist. Some parts of the current system seem to already play into...

Expose F-key bindings for configuration

In particular, I'm imagining it would be possible to re-bind the controls for what are currently the F2 and F3 cameras (as well as the F4 for car cycling. maybe make it possible to cycle backwards through an additional binding while at it). I can imagine it being useful to rebind the screenshot key ...

Custom sweepcams before race start

TL;DR replicating the atmospheric pre-race sweeping cameras that seem to be a common thing for racing games We've recently gotten the option to enable the stock sweeping camera on custom tracks, but this is an extension to that idea.

Re: How do I bake multiple textures into one?

Dunno if "baking" them together would be truly necessary. Basically you should only need to copy the texture of the wheels onto the texture file of the body using pretty much any semi-competent image editor. If the mapping of the body has enough unused space you can just slot in the wheel ...

[Not mentioned in this thread yet, but it's been released on RVZ now ] There's actually a tradeoff between things wrt the shockwave: if the shadow mesh matches up with the base mesh, then the shadows get pulled around just the same and the shockwave effect doesn't have any artifacts.

Use flap.m if it exists

Title. The model seems to be loaded properly in makeitgood. But from what I can make of the xbox source, once the objects actually initialize, the mapping is overwritten by a switch statement where the mapping for ghost town 1 is the default case.
