Hi, sorry for taking more than a year to get to this. You're making a very good point. States like parking brake aren't transferred because they don't have any visual indication. Brakes have a brake light flare so they must be synched, and they are - I'm not sure why brake sounds don't work...

Bump! The branch is now merged, so the script is included with itch devbuild, see https://forum.rigsofrods.org/threads/ror-development-builds-for-windows-and-linux.696/ for instructions. Any comments are welcome.

I've just made it possible: https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/3140

Regarding road meshes, The Pull Request 3030 introduces the ability to generate arbitrary meshes via AngelScript, so you can write a script that hides auto-generated meshes and creates new custom ones. The bundled script 'road_editor.as' can serve as example how roads are accessed dynamically. I...

This is such a fantastic contribution. Thank you!

I added the option to dump the generated meshes as regular .mesh files. The [dump] button only becomes visible if you check the "Enable dumping..." checkbox.

I've been workin on a tool to optimize this map (and other maps as well): https://forum.rigsofrods.org/threads/terrnbatcher-an-in-game-tool-to-boost-terrain-fps.4213/

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the TerrnBatcher, a script with the ability to reduce batch count (thus boosting FPS) in just a few clicks. Our maps have large FPS issues due to the fact we use hundreds low-poly meshes with hundreds of individual materials containing simple...

Asset packs drafted: https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/3129 I'll probably do the TOBJ 'set_default_scaling' directive tomorrow. I didn't have time to read the latest posts, either way your porting efforts are admirable and it's terrific that you even hang around this project (y)

OK, I'll try to put answers together. Resource packs: at the moment we don't have that, but it wouldn't be a big deal to add - it just never became a priority, I guess somebody suggested it (SimMonsters people perhaps) but I don't have any specific memory. How I'd go about it: Considering how...

This is fantastic - I wondered if RoR could 'borrow' stuff from StuntRally at some point, but this unfolds so fast and so smoothly that I'm stunned. I really need to check forum more, kudos to @thomz92 for ringing me up. I'll try to help with what I know. I completely agree that RoR lacks...

3D is hard. XYZ sounds simple enough, but as soon as you ask "which way is left/up/right", you run into ambiguities. I'd like to sum up what we know, in a short format. The reason I'm posting this: In the game, +Y is up, +X is right, +Z is forward. See this image in OGRE docs. This "Y is up"...

Bump! A really promising debate on vehicle-configurator is hapenning in Discord#development: https://discord.com/channels/136544456244461568/189904947649708032/1165031365327212635 Linking here because things on Discord chats easily get lost.

Bump! After writing the above post I realized it's silly to leave the `GenericDocument` feature read-only, so I invested a bit of time to make it editable: https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/3096.

I won't have time to work on this until at least next spring, but one thing is sure - if there's ever an in-game editor, it will be a script. All the groundwork is actually already in master, the only missing piece is a daring adventurer who would like to try coding it themselves. This is the...

I didn't realize this but yes, it's because it internally uses managed materials. Those are not a problem however because they ship with the game so I can just rewrite them. I'm only worried about mods bringing their own shaders. Anyway thanks for the note.

Flaws and what to do about them, 2023 edition. This is 1:1 update to this 2018's post. I originally wrote these as colored inline updates to the original post, but I ran into character limit, so I'm posting separately. Terminology: Actors Fixed for good. C++ now uses exclusively `class Actor`...

- Auriga terrain: contains a Cg shader file but doesn't use it, probably a leftover from .terrn system. Tested on Windows/DirectX

The game is in "free roam" mode by default, you can spawn/teleport/mouse-drag things and so on. The mission author must have the option to block unwanted features. Below is a preliminary list. Suggestions are welcome. Grabbing nodes with mouse Teleporting Spawning vehicle via UI or hotkey...

nVidia Cg toolkit was the go-to shader technology when Rigs of Rods was at peak popularity and most mods were made (circa 2010). But now it's just a proprietary burden that prevents us from migrating to new rendering APIs. Yesterday there was a debate in Discord#development and while we pretty...
