Update Speculation thread

Is that a joke or is this real ?

 

No.

 

Where did you get this?

 

Yes and no, the dev release banner and stuff was something I just enabled in the html to make it seem like an actual dev release.
The ui is real tho, it was a file found in the game that I just got working cleanly. Surprised no one has brought it up, the people I talked to knew of it, like everyone knew but assumed everyone knew.

 

As far as I know this is the only thing we've seen when it comes to the new ui.

 

That would probably line up with the stuff like
'options2.js'
I see in the js/css files. This was just something that was in the files, so it may be old or not but the fact that it looks like the uiv3 button you get if you trick it into thinking its a dev build points to 'mainmenu2' and the html file is 'mainmenu2test.html' seems to make sense.

 

This was discovered over a year ago and a lot more could be enabled (images for buttons and such).

However, the devs have stated that this was just an early concept and is not representative of the new UI whatsoever.

 

Can you explain for dummies how to do this?

 

what part of it? the tricking into dev mode?

 

yes

 

either gotta learn how to read dissasembled code in ghidra/ida and find the build strings, change them, and set the check lengths to match the new string length
or use something like astrogrep and find every check for '! something.shipping' and have it return true in the html/js/lua

 

I... see... welp, time to go download and learn another program

 

PBR has been confirmed

 

The offroad tires look so damn good & meaty

 

The "current" T-series textures in the video seem way better than we can get in game.

Also it says there will be a new ultra setting. I hope I can run it.

 

Interesting note - no sight of the Wigeon, which could hint that it's not that done, but there is a new Gridmap, although I cannot imagine there is no content beyond that. Not to say that this would then be a small update, but I would be surprised if this update is coming later than indicated (more than a month - remember the bluebuck trailer date?), that it doesn't include the Widgeon.

 

No, i think this part was no specular/with specular, so that photo is with pbr but no specular.

 

That looks pretty amazing, did sombody spot any other differences tho, as far as i can tell the Bolide is unchanged

 

is PBR going to take a hit on performance compared to right now?
