An easyer way?

[Mad_Maxine]

Bounding shapes are PISSING ME OFF!!

the reson half y cars never make it is this retarded box.. someone got a simple way? everyone i ask has no answers.. Who is not scared of the bounding box and wheel positions, Speek up now!

The wheels you make and see in CarEd are just for looks. The actual wheels the game uses in the physics are defined in the TXT file

// Wheels entry #4

1 // Type

Right rear // Identifier

RRWHEEL.ACT // Actor

0.16,0.06,0.24 // Position <--actual position of wheel. If numbers are bigger than BB Box numbers you get that error*

0 // Steerable flags

0 // Driven flags

0.014000 // Suspension give

0.500000 // Damping factor

1.000000 // Fractional reduction in friction when slipping

85.700000,85.700000 // Friction angles

1.600000 // Traction fractional multiplier

0.070000 // Rolling resistance

1 // Number of 'Bounding shapes' entries.

// Bounding shape: This shape definition is used for all collisions in the game.

// It is important to get this shape to fit your car as

// close as possible. It will add a lot of realism to your car. If you are adding a lot

// of suspension, remember to raise this shape as needed.

polyhedron // Type

-0.266,0.120,-0.533 // L B F (left bottom front)

0.266,0.120,-0.533 // R B F (right bottom front)

-0.266,0.576, 0.46 // L T R (left top rear)



* Edit: you need to look at the position of all four wheels..I am just showing one (RRwheel) in this example.

Usually moving the wheels in on the X axis does it (change the first number) this number also defines how wide your skid marks are

I kinda managed to do it by making the wheels bti smaller each time, then shrinking the bbox to it..

Thanks coffee :P

The only value wich does matter is the x-value. If it gives this error with an appropriate bbox the only thing to change is the values in the wheel entries. I set my x-values to the centre (from front-view) of the wheel.

Easy to do with Cared by hovering in different views.

I got some strange thing with bboxes, too.

Like omitting a period wich makes an Y-value of 0600 instead of 0.600 or something. Without a clear reason i crashed on every bridge and tunnel.

And lets not forget the 4 lowest points need to be in a straight line (same height) altho there can be somewhere to 0.050 difference in them.

Fuckin'

I thought I was the only dumbass that ever did that!
