Were LOD changes made?

For instance after this last patch suddenly my walls, curbs, and other "stock" models are all disappearing at minimum range. They're from my level's directory though so there's no modified files I assume, it must be something to do with the overall game settings?

 

Nope, only the things mentioned in the changelog.
Can we have some screenshots? How are your objects LODs set up (the ranges)

 

I changed my graphics from HIGH to NORMAL to see if there was a difference and I noticed LODs changed. Then I changed it back to high, no change, then restarted the game, and same thing, no change! It's gotta be on my end then - trees and various models are very noticeably fading in, and also completely invisible at ~500m when before they were visible from across the map at their lowest lod.

As long as I know it's not a changelog thing, I'll investigate further =) Thanks!

 

As I said I didn't change anything, I only noticed it after the update, which was also the same time I changed gfx from high to normal. After changing BACK to high, the lods were still funky. I've also noticed that with each update my custom lods on game models (that I have in my level directory) are always reset, and I always had to redo their settings.

For instance I've had guardrails that you can see from 1000 meters, but with each new update they would revert to their original lod settings, EVEN THOUGH they had their dang .cs files in my shapes dir.

 

in BeamNG.drive\settings\game-settings.cs

check the values of

Code:

$pref::TS::smallestVisiblePixelSize = "-1";

for me it was set to 25 because of dev builds, set to -1 if it's different

 

Fufs, not sure what you're saying: I set the lods in the world editor from within the model.

As for checking the game-settings, I have -1 there

It's not the end of the world for me, if anything it just makes things run smoother hah, but I'd like to think I'm the one that's in control of it! Take the rock cliffs from Italy for instance, I have myLevel\shapes\imported\rockCliffs.dae lets say. I suspect it won't have any changes made through updates, yet the .cs that's created when I change it's LOD settings, seems to no longer take affect upon updating the game! I've had to change it back to my own settings multiple times through development! Since January, whenever there's been an update my first thought has been, "Awesome! But... I'll have to change the dang lod settings again!"

I hadn't noticed the walls that I used disappearing ever, but after that last update the other day (yesterday?) they certainly disappear quickly.

(what's funny is my italy_rockface_tall_wide.cs shows last updated Feb 2 2019 though! oof. Back to my original point: If the newest update didn't change anything engine wise then there's clearly something happening on my end I'm happy to go through it myself! Sorry to drag this on guys.)

 

OH! =D

For my own custom models I've had no issues. It's the models that I've stolen from the other levels and put into my level's directory that keep resetting, and they were the ones I was adjusting so I could see curbs/walls/fences/rocks off in the distance.
