car lods and distances

if others have noticed yucky lods in the 2005 set its from my graphics stettings.

heres yohan's sauber:

its lod_3 but with the camera so close i'd like a higher lod to be showing.


so who can explain these lines:

70 ; [MAIN VIEW] Car lod : load balance as % of notional max possible number of car polys (at highest LOD) v9
100 ; [MAIN VIEW] Car lod : maximum LOD (scalar 100=>1) v2
600 ; [MAIN VIEW] Car lod : distance at which to cull cars in view (metres) v3
100 ; [MAIN VIEW] Car lod : scalar



thanks

WHAT! b-tone, im sure some1 like u cud figure it out :P

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

This is mine.

100;[MAIN VIEW] Car lod : load balance as % of notional max possible number of car polys (at highest LOD) v9
100;[MAIN VIEW] Car lod : maximum LOD (scalar 100=>1) v2
4000;[MAIN VIEW] Car lod : distance at which to cull cars in view (metres) v3
100;[MAIN VIEW] Car lod : scalar

But i'm not sure what they mean.

Hope It Helps

You can also use high quality shapes option from TeamEditor

thanks flash - i'll try it out

You can also use high quality shapes option from TeamEditor

what 'exactly' does that do?

____
Tony

on team editor go to the carshapes tab then select force best carshapes,you can also do helmets and wheels too.what it does is basically use the lod 0 all the time instead of switching lods at certain distances..if you do this then you can remove all the other lods from your cars wad to make the wad file smaller.ive got mine set to use lod 0 for everything then ive removed all the other lods and my wad file is about 70 meg with hi res textures..but you will get a slight po hit though.

oh, ok, thanks - i think i've heard of the lod0 trick before

____
Tony

Yep, works like a beauty if you have GF 6800 GT

---------------------
Bojan Tarticchio

ive got a ati 9600 powercolour 256 meg and it works spot on with all details on max too.

for those who want to use high lods only with the 2005 mod, you can put the lod0 autopatch file for the cars in the extra folder of csm, into the patch folder of the carset.
that does the same thing as teameditor i think.

---

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

well a fix for what zaz says would be great cause its chinese to me zaz what you just told héhé, Tony can call it LOD0 update héhé !

i'll release an 'all lod 0' fix for the o5 set soon

____
Tony

Thats the spirit Tony you tried the tweak out yet ?

it's not chinese
here's a n00b-proof step by step explanation :P
-start csm
-file menu
-Go to -> CSM install dir

then you'll be taken to where csm is installed
open the folder called "Extra"
right click "HighLodOnly_Car.cap" and select copy

bring CSM back up and double click on the 2005 set in the carset list
that will take you to the place where the mod is installed.
Open the "Data" folder, and then go to the "Patch" folder
Right click in a white area and select "paste"

now that wasn't that hard, was it?

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

well you made the chinese english héhé!
