Greetings! One of the cars i use to race is this one found here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/epol-corsa-cup-2010.4959/ It s a corsa cup car. I ve talked to the modder who continued the mod, saying me that this mod is very old and he doesnt have much time to continue it. One of its major quirks is that the most of the cars disappear few meters in front. Is there any modder who can fix it? I m willing to buy him a beer for this! Dont know if this is a difficult task or not as i am not a modder my self. But this car is a definitely must!
just for that problem it can be easily to fix with change the lodout param larger in car's gen file. Others maybe a big task..
Lets focus only on this. The disappear issue. I m not a modder my self and i do not know how to do this. Are y a modder my friend? Do you know how to do it? PS The mod has a *.rfcmp extention
I know a little about modding, but recently I have no time to fix (LODout Entries maybe too much in the file....) And you need to install the rfcmp, then find the mas files under Installed/vehicle/modname folder. Then using mas tool to extract them, then mod files are there. Then you can modify it. Updated: Download the mod and check, seems not the params of LOD causing it.. But I guess it's low poly model (or LOD)'s problem. My guess about it is LODout of lowest detail model still too low (200 meters to hide all the models) but I don't know what exactly is and your distance is how far (is it about 200 meter?). Sorry can't solve it quickly.
This "disappear" thing is very obvious in tracks like Spa. In the Eau Rouge corner. Here are some screenshots with the problem You can see the cars disappear approximately 200 - 300 m in front of me (you can see the shadows of the cars - but not the cars). Sometimes you can only see their tires only. As y can see the first 10 cars are missing (i am at the 24 th position which makes the lod disappear more obvious)
@Haris1977 your images look like they probably match the 200m zxd1997 saw in the files, so that'll be the issue. Your first post said "few metres" which is entirely different.
Yes. It is not caused by that Yes it was my mistake. By saying "a few meters" i meant approximately 200 - 300 m. I was not sure, that's why i fired up a session with the car in Spa and took some pics. @Lazza or @zxd1997 do you think you can help and fix this? I will hapily buy you a beer for your effort !
Just open up the gen file, you'll see lines like: Code: MeshFile=Body.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0) LODOut=(20) Reflect=True ShadowCaster=(Static, Solid) Set the LODout number to something higher than what it is.
Yep if problem confirmed you can try to do this. Modify gen file and then repacking it as mas then rfcmp. A little complicated before you know how to do it but once you done you're familiar with it. Usually max lodout of lowest poly model is 1000. But with nowadays pc spec the higher poly lodout can be a little larger too and this old one highest maybe low ploy for now ( a little off topic lol) .
Guys thnks but i ve told you before that i m completely anaware and noob in modding. I only got the rfcmp file and the installed mod. Nothing else. Can someone point me from scratch how can i do that and what prog to use? How can i get the gen file from the rfcmp? Do i use the mass utility?
wait a day or two, I might try to fix it and repack it while I have some hours of free time. Don't need beer, need free time haha
ok, wait me off work and back home and have free time. I've downloaded that mod so seems not more thing needed. But I must to say seems this mod have another problem which rollover easily? That is what I can't fix about physic. (but I guess maybe can help reduce it by reducing CGheight or whatever car gravity center)
Correct. This car has a tendency to flip. I lowered the car (in setup screen) to prevent it, but while it is better it still happens. But for now, this is not the major issue. The dominant issue is the disappearing of the cars. But if you reduce the rollover it would be great too!

Oh That's it! You fixed it ! @zxd1997 ..you are a savour. Million thanks for this ! Also a big thanks for all the other guys who participated in this thread PS 1 You can send me your paypal in pm, i m keeping my word - and want to thank you for this PS 2 Did you do smth for the rolling over? Didnt have time to check it
PS1, no need to give me a beer, just thanks is enough~ PS2, I tried to lower the CGHeight, but I don't know if there will be a bad effect or good. so... just test it
Well, a big thanks then, again! The lowering CG seems to work also - without the car loosing anything in driveability. My last question: Is there any easy / quick way to have car thumbnail image in car selection menu? Now it is empty (see image below)
