Civetta Scintilla

Oh, yeah, like the H-series was added in 2013 and didn't get a remaster until 2021, I know now.

 

Look I gotta be honest the cornering speed for this "supercar" is rather questionable and it makes me hope it can be corrected with some tire thermals. Other than that I could see how the design period was wrather intesive and I think y'all did phenomenal job making her.

 

Most people have found that this is typically more of an effect of BeamNG lack of sense of speed, you likely feel as if you’re going slower than you actually are. I think it handles quite well, you just really have to understand how fast you’re going, which Beam is not good at doing.

 

I mean even just F1 tires to toss on every car would be pretty cool
Just imagine rocketing around corners in the Piccolina at full speed like a big go-kart

 

That's not how it works. F1 wheels are codeveloped with the car itself so they require tons of downforce to be functional at all

 

Oh dang, didn't know that.
I just assumed that was how it worked because it worked when I put the FR-17 wheels onto the Caterham mod

 

Now how’s the cornering speed w/ motion blur? (No PC til November )

 

Everything feels faster now, cornering is scarier, and the mid engine covet is a deathtrap, more so than the bolide. Also, all of the maps look almost real. That pretty much sums up the update.

 

Yeah, I played it when it first came out for like 3 days, but I didn’t use the scintilla, and I was wondering if the cornering speed was better, or seemed better, because of the motion blur

 

Oh, yeah, it feels much better after you get used to it. Scintilla feels much more deadly now.

 

A silly question, but where is it defined in material's code that civetta's rims are colored by third palette, not second (for example). Or third palette is hardcoded for miscelanneous parts

 

In the color texture red (FF0000) stands for the first color, green (00FF00) for the second color, and blue (0000FF) for the third color. It's universal for any material (AFAIK).

 

I think what he's asking is where is the code that controls rim colour on the colourable rims, though I could be wrong. for example the if I want the 2nd colour palette to control the rim colour instead of the 3rd palette.

 

Yes, you're right, and there's no code. All you need is a separate *.color.png texture (which you likely have) and a line in materials.json (which you likely have) pointing to that texture, i.e.:

Code:

"colorPaletteMap": "/vehicles/scintilla/scintilla_main_skin_drippybrush.color.png"

Note that each color/channel can blend, allowing you to make smooth gradients.

 

So having completely blue mask, the model will inherit third color, right?
What about metalness and roughness?

 

they're determined by the paint colours you have selected in-game.

 

Well, they are a bit funky. But as a rule of thumb, whatever works on the car you borrowed stuff from will work on yours. But

AFAIK (again), for paint colors it's a mix between your metallic and roughness textures AND the paint colors. I'd love to see some actual reference on that though, because I spent way too much time on that rim pack, and I'm still trying to figure out my skin pack.
