0.5.1.0 Discussion/Feedback/Bugs-Reporting Thread - READ #1 POST!

This time I did found some small jbeam bugs when updating y 5-door Covet mod;

A section in the c-pillar section seems to have only the right hand side of the beams (minus one line); hatch.jbeam line 620



I think the front signals 'shine' the wrong way; hatch_fascia.jbeam line 69
I wanted to add a screenshot but somehow I can't reproduce the issue (I can't see the light reflection on the ground anymore)
I did turn the spotlight around (and increased the brightness) for the 'police' signals and that one shines in the right direction.

 

This is more discussion/feedback than bug report, but here goes... I'm thinking that some shifting / clutch related things have become worse, maybe other people have a feeling one way or another too?

1. Turbocharged vehicles with poor shift points. No surprise there since adding actual turbo simulation would certainly move shift points around. The Rally and Custom Covet configs seem to be good examples of this.
2. Worse shifting-into-gear from a standstill. Getting cars to go in reverse has always been difficult in certain situations (steering at full lock for example), but it seems worse now. Getting into forward on a slope can also be more difficult than I think it has been.
3. Gear ratios... it was mentioned in the D15 thread, but I think it's worth mentioning again here. Have D15 gear ratios changed? The low end does seem to be lacking. Maybe it's just the power of suggestion?

 

The Burnside's rear fenders get a little glitchy when crashed into




And Stretchy.....


I still love it

 

the first coltri on the old pessima's spoiler is wrong/has a typo,
it says:
["sp2ll","sp3ll","sp3ll",{"liftCoef":50}],
while i think it should be:
["sp2ll","sp3ll","sp3l",{"liftCoef":50}],

How do i fix the glass not being shattered? (I run over the covet with the BTR-80)

 

you cant really to anything about that. You have to have a large impact on the back of that car.

The picture says it all...

 

Oh, I did not know that. Thanks for clarifying!

 

Great update, wish the temp guage worked, if on fire should overheat or something, lol

 

I found 3 problems that are with the Burnside.

1. The dashboard gets very spiky from a hard impact.


2. The battery is indestructible (This might be because it's part of the engine).


3. The fenders drops the framerate badly, the game runs smoother when they are removed.

 

The Bolide catches fire, then it extinguishes itself after being drove and three tires are popped

 

A small bug; the fullsize wants to use a 'fullsize_sping_F' and 'fullsize_shock_F' mesh, but there is only a 'fullsize_coilover_F' mesh.

Secondly; support beams seem not to be functional anymore? They are existed (I can highlight them with the highlight function) and will break when stretched over the beamLongBound, but it does nothing when the beamShortBound is reached. When I change the type to Bounded beams they do work with all the same values... But support beams are sometimes more preferably (hard limit)

 

Ah, that clears up a few things, thanks.

 

Not sure what's with that... I can't see anything missing on the suspension in-game.

EDIT: Just had a quick search in all of the fullsizes jbeams for "sping" and found nothing.

 

Typo; sping had to be spring (obviously?)
I checked again, the jbeams do use spring and shock meshes, but suddenly the .dae has springs and shocks as well instead of coilovers. I checked a couple of days ago with the original fullsize dae, then it had coilovers. Weird. Especially because it says it was last modified 15th of December.

Of well, apologies to the devs, no bug.
