WIP Cars

[NaN]

If you have problems to get the car into game, upload what you have got and I'll take a look.

To use custom wheel/tire meshes:

[wheel.fl]
texture = my_wheel_texture.png
mesh = my_wheel_mesh.joe
genrim = false # disables auto-generated wheel rim mesh

[wheel.fl.tire]
texture = my_tire_texture.png
mesh = my_tire_mesh.joe # overrides auto-generated tire mesh


The same applies to brake disk:

[wheel.fl.brake]
texture = my_brake_texture.png
mesh = my_brake_mesh.joe # overrides auto-generated brake mesh


I think I will also add [wheel.fl.hub] support, for non-rotating wheel components. If you want to use a single mesh for the wheel (containing tire and brake disk), remove the texture and mesh parameters from tire and brake sections.


The texture sheets/atlases is an important optimization that we are lacking, would allow for higher fps. In general for modern graphics cards it is more efficient to have few big textures/meshes than a lot of tiny ones.

The LOD stuff and the Wiki car doc update are on my todo list. Btw would be great if you could write about the issues you are running into, so that they can be fixed eventually. What works, what doesn't, what is confusing and so on.
