0.31 Discussion Thread

It's been like that for as long as i can remember, a flat tire looks normal but as it actually breaks apart, the broken sections just disappear

 

The drag config for the newer pessima doesn't have a fuel tank

 

I've noticed it too, I mean from time to time you have your tire puncture, but when I reset the vehicle tire mesh was still partially missing. I've only got it twice playing Career Mode since 0.31 came out.

 

Please note that I am not complaining about the spokes of the rim breaking when the wheel gets damaged. The arrow in my screenshot extends beyond that and points to a part of the rubber that is missing.

Thanks for letting me know that this isn't due to a recent change.

I just went back in-game, lifted the car's front section and fixed it and its front wheels in place using the node grabber. After that I started tearing on the rubber part using the node grabber and managed to tear off a piece, replicating the damage in my screenshot. While the tire didn't look deflated when the front section of the car was still in the air, it was clearly flat when I released it back to the ground.

So while that does mean that this behavior is a "feature" of the tire's damage model, I would still appreciate an overhaul eventually as in its current state that does not look like damage but like a visual glitch...

Interesting. Resetting the car via the "Recover Vehicle" binding always fixed the rubber's mesh for me. (Not sure whether you can reset the vehicle that way in career mode though, I am mostly playing Freeroam.)

 

Since this isn’t in the “known issues” list, and I haven’t gotten a single reaction or reply to this, I’m assuming it just got lost or the Pessima is undergoing a full-on remaster. That’s okay by me if there just isn’t much focus on the car right now by the dev team.

But since I’m so inexplicably trash at explaining, here’s a visualization of the issue (and 2 possible solutions) with my amazing art skills:


The current lights triggered by low/high beam seem like the props guy wanted to make the signals glow along with the lights (like in most US cars), but the glow maps guy didn’t, they didn’t get along, and the signal emits light but doesn’t glow.

I tested this on the latest versions, no conflicting mods, cache not an issue, all the other stuff checked. I know for a fact since in the post I even showed the exact line of code that is causing the annoying yellow dot.

Well, either way, hope this issue gets at least noticed

 

Hey, this is random and has nothing to do with the conversation at hand OTHER THAN it's about 0.31....

Did something change with the way unpacked mods are handled? After migrating things to 0.31 anything I have "loose" (not in .ZIP format) fails to load and throws tons of "failed to read x.jbeam" or "failed to spawn, missing stage 1 data" and stuff of the sort... If I simply pack it into a .ZIP and throw it in my mods folder, it loads up and spawns in with zero issues. This is REALLY annoying to me as I will have to completely change my modding "workflow" from the ground up and it will make progress MUCH slower.

Anyone have any insights/knowledge?

 

Which is why for the mod I'm working on which includes a set of customised headlights, I deleted the line of code you mentioned to stop the indicator lights turning on with the headlights (so thanks for pointing it out beforehand).

And considering my mention of the minor faults with the covet for the past two major updates has gone completely unnoticed, I don't think you'll have much luck either.
In my post for 0.30 I have also quoted a post for 0.29 - neither of which have responses. The Pessima headlights should be an easy fix but I doubt anything will actually be done about it until they actually do remaster it (probably over the next, or next couple, of years).

 

those use range and splitters which may be to complicated for the game as to why they opted just to put a transfer case on a five-speed as that might to to complicated for new players and the game itself

 

There is no Cargo boxes on Tilt Deck Trailer ,It easily accommodates two rows of XL Cargo Boxes plus two more rows on top of them . Like 4x4x(idk)

 

Hope you guys had a fantastic holidays and had time to rest after the wonderful year of amazing content you gave us in 2023 ! Not really related to this specific answer but i just wanted to know if the career update ( about taxi and trucking missions ! ) are still planned ? Are they going to be in 0.31 as a regular / smaller update or they will be implemented in 0.32 ? Is this something still possible or this is too big of a project ? We have the opportunity to buy some cabs and trucks / trailers in the career but not really many things do do with them except than deleveries ! Speaking of deliveries , is this normal that i can drop some things at the '' Hot Rolled '' steel company ( bottom left of the map ) but i cant pick up stuff from there ? I have the feeling this is something coming soon and can be lucrative in the delivery mode !

Also , are you allowed to give us just a little hint or heads up for the next vehicle ? Is it gonna be the D Series remastered ? A new modern pick up truck ? Modern american econobox ? even the smallest hint would be appreciated !

Many thanks in advance for your response and thank you for your amazing work , to you , all the devs and the whole team working in the shadows but helping making the best game for us !

 

A European pickup truck would be nice given it already seems like a euro semi is in the works.

Pls don't make this another wishlist thread

 

As if the update speculation thread wasn't already enough....
(Ignoring the whole fact that everyone has posted atleast once there)

 

A lot of people seem to be getting LUA errors lately... of course it could be mod related but for your information devs:

I found a way to fix this bug. Just select the two-tone skin and set both colors as the same. Apparently the skins fix the glitch with the front end's textures.

 

The Lansdale is unable to use diesel whenever the interior fuel cell is present

(noteworthy) Installed parts are:

• AWD diesel fuel tank
• I4 Diesel engine
• Interior fuel cell

 

I believe fuel cells are gasoline tanks

 

On that topic, it seems like you can't fill your tank if you have a nitrous tank equipped in your car.
