need lod so cars are visible from distance??

conjames23

hi guys did have this sorted but after update all back to standard and didnt have back up

@conjames23 If you didn't have a backup, then I suggest making a copy of your game folder, run the verify files option to get the original data back.

Then reinstall the modded files into your verified version using a mods folder, and that will ensure that you will always have a backup.

@LeeC2202 i have the original its the modded one i dont have . With the openiv update has put it back to original and cant remember or find where i found a lod which stopped two cars that i have replaced from being invisible from a distance

@conjames23 But a LOD is a Level Of Detail mesh inside a model... it's not something you add as a separate file, it comes as part of the model.

Which cars is it?

@LeeC2202 2016 porsche macan turbo jaguar xj

@conjames23 That Porsche only has 2 LOD levels and there should be more than that. So when the game thinks it should switch to the Low version, there isn't one.

You might be able to make some changes in the vehicles.meta file, in this section:

  <lodDistances content="float_array">
    15.000000
    35.000000
    60.000000
    120.000000
    500.000000
    500.000000
  </lodDistances>

But I am not sure what you would need to change them to, I have never made any changes to that section. In theory, the higher the number, the longer that LOD stays in use. LODs are switched based on distance from the camera.
