Lights in cars

[Maciuk]

Hi all....

 

I didn't know where to write aobut main problem (one of them), that afects crusing with friends.

 

Indicators, head and tails lights are not visible in cars for 3'rd person. There are some traffics that jump out from the night when crusing on Oahu because of lights. Is there any chance to fix this? We need bigger hallo in all cars lights. This is very well visible in police viper, where only one stopping light works proper.

 

Strange thing is that even in Tool's Porsche carrera GT lights are poor made. What for stopping lights/indicator lights if they are not visible from normal distnace?

Hi

 

a real problem, thanks for having started discussing about it :)

 

I'd say even traffic cars are much more visible when they use their turning indicators, because there's a kind a flare around the lamp !

Cars we are driving do not have this effect, thus making it difficult to be seen! A shame because it was at least one cool feature for TDU2, but has not been made quite well ... :(

 

Maybe would it be possible to check differences between traffic vehicles and driveable ones, in ZModeler ?

Traffic-cars are using "Sprites" for the "effect"/"flare". At the moment Zmod2 (the filter) isn't able to handle this shader. (Missing shader configuration info for "Sprite")

I / we have to inform Oleg about it. When he is able to update the filter, we can try to upgrade drivable cars with this "feature".

 

best regards

ok, btw Oleg is currently improving the filter (added flashdashboard and CarVelour shaders recently)

ZModeler Forum View topic - Test Drive Unlimited2 .3DG filter (10.Novermber.2011)

 

so :)

Have "reported" this to Oleg.

But I must discover the whole thing deeper. (In which situations does the game load which files? - for example: for multiplayer in far distance, is it body_mr (part of carxy.bnk) OR carxy_med.bnk?)

Will have a look into this, in the next few days.

 

best regards
