"Restore all missing data sections and do typical fill patterns on any exported mebs from Zmodeler."
JDougNY,
Excellent stuff
But you mentioned there that any exported mebs from ZModeler need to be restored ? And how do I do that ... Any examples ?

Well, I naturally assumed that anybody that reached a point where they made a car and were ready to animate would understand that statement.
There are examples of what sections should exist in every vehicle meb from an original car in pCars.
Generally, once a meb has been exported from Zmodeler, sections 2,4,0 and 2,5,0 have to have the data replaced with fill pattern of 0000803F 00000000 00000000.
In the case of an animated meb, section 0,3,3 needs to be added in before section 5,8,0, along with the fill pattern in sections 2,4,0 and 2,5,0
Also, there are times when additional data sections have to be added as compared to an original pCars meb of similar type. For instance, I had a car that needed UV4 added to the chassis LodC to stop some massive black polygons from shooting across the track on identical Ai cars at distance. But, I don't want to get off track from the question you had.

Very close now, balance testing currently.

Can be the video compression but cockpit seems a tad dark. If need be you can manipulate it via .cpt cockpit exposure: the lower the value the brighter it is inside.
Looking good!

@ those that were involved with pCars during development.

I'm looking for the actual BFF files that existed for Asano X4 DTM (Audi A4 DTM).
That would be 4 bff files (exterior, cockpit, GUI and livery bff's). It looks as though the car was cleaned up of bugs around build 382 range.

Right now, people have sent me...
- a conversion into S2U by (I think) WinnerSD
- a rip in Z3d Zmodeler backup format with textures and no materials. This rip was done poorly, because all meshes have been stripped of material assignments when the car was ripped.

I'd like to get my hands on the original BFF files so that I could bring the car back into the game with the least amount of hassle. So, if somebody may have those original BFF files, they could send to me via msg here.

Somebody asked me this question over at NG, so I thought I'd post it here, too...
for those that want more steering lock with the addon cars, here's how to edit for more lock.

- exit the game and de-activate the car you want to edit
- navigate to "Vehicles\Physics\Chassis\" folder and open the CDFbin file with a hex editor. You might want to make a backup copy of CDFbin, in case you make an editing error

Search for hex value 243043CE212300 in CDFbin
The 4 bytes after that hex value set the steering lock and here are the values you could use....
00000C42 = 35 degrees
00002042 = 40 degrees
00003442 = 45 degrees
00004842 = 50 degrees
00005C42 = 55 degrees
00007042 = 60 degrees
00008242 = 65 degrees

To give an example, the Maxda Radbul uses 60 degrees of steering lock

any chance to see a camera tool like "SHIFT 2 Camera Control" http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=246759

Because many cars have way to high "Cockpit camera eyepoint" even with lowering ingame seat as much is i can...
or any other way to edit the Cockpit camera eyepoint for this cars???

 

[Binary]

The Alpina B6 GT3 is "finished" but I am calling it a test version for the moment... if you would like to test the car please PM me and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Please report any problems via PM also.

Cntrl+k then wsad and numpad keys are in free mode. Easiest method.

I fell in love to this car

 

[JDougNY]

...just an update.
Thanks to StLaker90 for the original BFF's for Audi A4 DTM. I'm moving forward with reworking the car to include current features, since this car existed only during development (things changed since then). Very high poly count models in the GUI BFF, so it should look good, since I'm making them the LodA models.
So, the order of cars coming out from us, based on what's already in my queue waiting for me to finish off...
- Audi A4 DTM
- Porsche 918 Spyder (waiting for me to finish)
- 2 car package of Nissan 200SX's (waiting for me to finish)
- Nissan Silvia S15 (waiting for me to finish)

Also, there will probably be a bodykit change to our RX7 along with an engine audio change.

to follow up on JDougNY's announcement here are a few snaps to feast your eyes on

- Porsche 918 Spyder (waiting for me to finish)

Will it have the physics of the Concept Study like S2U since it has the same 3D or the current production version?
