Cars Brabham BT62 shadow and AI problems

Chelsea_554 · Jul 4, 2022

I have problems with Official Brabham BT62 car.
CSP version is: 0.1.79-preview5
Sol version is: 2.2.2

When i set this car as an AI, the cars rear axle is automatically broken in half. No matter the map, it always is like this.

Also the shadow is broken and there doesnt seem to be a fix for it

Have you found a fix? just had this problem with a mod I'm working on.

EDIT: So I did a little experimenting, and figured it was 3DSIMED that definitely screwed up the undercarriage normals some how. I had a backup duplicate of the mod I was working on and swapped parts from that.
Not sure if you could do the same but the problem is DEFINITELY 3DSIM and its less than subpar exporter.

I now export to kn5 through KSEditor.

3dsimed actually disables meshes from casting shadows, I don't know what the exact logic is (maybe some optimization that works in other games) but it's not about the normals as far as I know. It shouldn't be a step in your process if you can help it, 3dsmax/blender exported to fbx into kseditor is the way that gets support. And then in the other direction, CM showroom to fbx to 3dsmax/blender, as it creates the persistence files correctly.

I've adopted the Blender direct to KSE since then, but I would definitely like anybody reading this in the future to know.
