Build 1119 - 4th June 2020
A few weeks ago we released a rather large update to our game which adjusted the lighting calculations in various places on all content. We have now released a small update which focuses on improving the compatibility of those updates with old content, although some content will just need to be updated due to settings used.
...
- We took a look at was wet road reflection progression on non PBR materials.
- Here we have adapted the changes made to PBR tracks to improve the reflections a little.
- However the major issue with wet road is that a lot of content does not have a puddle map setup.
- At present when no puddle map is authored everything becomes a puddle and results in excessive mirror reflections, so please try to author a map even if it is very basic.
- There are also further updates to wet reflections in development.
- We have added a Headlight Configurator to ModDev. This comes up as an option when you go in game where the AIW/Camera editor etc are.
- This allows you to modify your cars headlights in real time. Useful for fine tuning them.
- You have to manually save your changes into the gen file.
