Show own car in cockpit view mirror

Hi,

I was tweaking with mirrors lately. I noticed that in Tcam view, you could see your own car, but not in cockpit view.

Is there a way to see your own car in cockpit view mirrors. I already used various mirror angles, but still cant see my own car. Here are my current setting in f1graphics.cfg...

16 Angle left mirror 0(in)-16(parallel)-32(out) v2
16 Angle right mirror 0(in)-16(parallel)-32(out) v2
16 Magnify mirror (16 => normal <16 wide >16 zoom)
133 Show own car (0 never, bit 1 trans, bit 2 solid, bit 3 context only bit7-fullpolycar in tcam) v3
0 Overide show own car if mirrors set low


Is there anything else I should change to achieve this?


thanks

dunno but when in cockpit the carshape isnt used so theres nothing to see.
you could build it into the cp shape maybe.

The shape must be built into the cockpit veiw shape (b-tone has the correct idea)

You build the car shape into the cockpit shape and it will show in your mirrors, but u might get a PO hit

Excellent idea b-tone, i can't figure why i havn't think about it sooner as i also asked me why and how i could display it, as in external cam views... it was so obvious...

Lo2k, u didnt know that?

I was gona do that for the GT mod, build a rear wing into the cockpit shape so the cockpit mirrors gave a rear wing

gp4 does it on its own, just set the mirror details to very high in the menu and it shows it

Didn't we discuss something like this a good while back?!? For those who can afford a small PO hit it would be a great thing to have!

Doesnt work :S

It doesnt cos there is no shape to load. In the cockpit view it unloads the carshape and laods the cockpit shape, and cos theres nothing stored in the cockpit shape to show it, it cant show anything

just use the Tcam :P

Now I understand why I cant see my car in the mirrors.

I guess I'll have to wait for someone to have the talent to create a shape for this.

Thanks guys.

Both the full car shape and cockpit shape are always loaded.
The code path handles explicit rendering of mirrored objects
(to a level as set in the menus).

So, its possible the mirrors could:

a) no reflect your own car at all
b) reflect the cockpit model
c) reflect the full car
d) reflect a 'dummy' sprite to represent your car.

I can't remember which of b/c its set up to support - I think just c as it happens - so you shouldn't be able to cockpit model reflected, regardless of what you author into it.

The settings file suggests the option of fullcar reflection is only available for T-Cam, though I can't think why i'd have made this restriction.

BTW, the 'context' setting was specifically added for the situation where there was an engine fire and it looked odd in the reflection just hanging in space.

actually, u can see ure own car in the cockpit mirrors, its just that its not textured and is semi transparent
