Ah! So that's how it works! Great. Thanks man! I had to check the left edge. I didn't read your post completely initially, so I was thinking it was an exclamation mark with the pink symbolizing a missing texture or something.

Thanks

@TheLoneWolf293 said in Upvoting/Downvoting comments on the main site for mods.:

Yeah, I'm not so sure about it... I gave someone helpful advice not too long ago, and it got downvoted. Probably by mistake...

Someone made a post and said it in a really strange way, so I responded with-
Red Fish, Blue Fish.
One Fish, Two Fish.

I also said it with that 4a.m. tired haze thing going on so I thought it was much more funny than when I woke up after I passed out.

Lmao!

Try giving helpful advice or asking a simple question on those StackExchange/StackOverflow or whatever sites, They love downvoting. I actually looked something up and the only answer to a question I had was some dude who got downvoted and accused of answering a question that had nothing to do with the topic when in reality it did, and it was in my opinion the best answer. Ha

I told them to just ban my account like 7 months ago, because their community sucked.

@JZersche
Assuming you need this in C#:

You can use entity.MarkAsNoLongerNeeded when your conditions are true, which lets the game engine remove the entity when it deems necessary. You can also call entity.Delete right after if you want to get rid of it right away.

To get player's last entered vehicle: player.LastVehicle

Distance between two entities: World.GetDistance(entity1.Position, entity2.Postion)

For vehicle health, there are a few types of health. In Visual Studio you can just type ".health" after your vehicle object and it should show you 3-4 different health integers that you can check.

Here's version 0.2.2 in action. I just started setting up some shipyard car spawns.

I have the locations named left to right like so. L1, L2, L3, L4

In-Car cam. I want to disable it for vehicle which have low-quality interior, not all vehicles.

@V4D3R

Weird stuff, I get this on my desktop

@rappo, ^ that's the bug @420x420 was talking about

@JZersche Looks more like a supercar. My friends hate this concept.
Still I say it'll be cool to drive this in LS.

To anyone who distributes knowledge like this freely to others:
Thank you, Your sharing of knowledge is what helps make the world go round, and inspires other programmers to do the same (hopefully).

Also, I know a person who basically knows just about everything, I've known him since I was 13, and I'm 25 now. To this day, I haven't found a question he couldn't answer. So if anyone needs help with a script, I could possibly help, but there could be a charge involved. He very infrequently reponds to me, but is a reliable source of information because if I ever need to know something, I could get him to respond. He's usually very busy, but yeah. Thank you. AHK1221, Rarefacer, LeeC2202.

You guys are awesome.

This would be pretty sick.

@AHK1221 I've had fun with 99999 mass before, but I never tried using '1'. It actually acts like the vehicle has a lot of mass, but immediately damages and destroys your engine sometimes, like I said. It's a really interesting effect. If you drive at a fair rate of speed and hit a pedestrian of another car, the camera shakes in a very cool realistic effect.

If there was a way to trigger that camera shake every time something is hit, that would definitely need to be a mod. Actually the effect I was getting was from the mass being 99999, and I just didn't realize it because my car acted weird and came to a stop and wouldn't move anywhere, which gave me the illusion that the mass was at 1 but in reality the engine was destroyed. When I use this to reinitialize a new value like 1000 in to it, or 1 for some reason it's not working and only worked the first time. Will have to keep testing it.

Edit: Just die and respawn, and the values will re-initialize.

@LeeC2202 said in Custom DLC Add-On - Replacing Models overriding metadata from past DLC:

@Willief23 But you're using the carcols.ymt method which overrides the vanilla IDs.

The problem is you're telling people that something is wrong and it simply isn't. And what's worse, by adding your LOL comment, you're making it sound like the person who might have given that information doesn't know what they are talking about.

Providing alternate information is one thing, disrespecting someone else's information because it doesn't match yours, is another thing completely.

^^ Your assessment of the order ID's is correct.

As for Willief23's carcols.ymt method, it looked very promising, but doesn't work (which is to say, with carcols.ymt, the game simply foregoes on certain checks, but you're still stealing ID's from vanilla cars; you're basically just masking your mistakes).

I've said it before, there are no magical endless ID's to be had. You cant get past the 8-bit value -- and changing the load order of things doesn't change that fact (all that does, is screw up your vanilla car ID's in a different order).

You already visited lcpdfr.com right? If you are looking for police vehicles than gta5-mods.com isn't really the right place, most police modders don't release over here

@JZersche under development by me, with awesome effects and disappearing missile props.

Sadly I have little time to work on it for now.

@steinberg
I made this list for my own personal use really. I'm just sharing it. "I feel like this list in only a matter of time will cause more drama, and controversy then there already is."

So to fix that, I've removed all ratings and wrote a script where ratings can be calculated.

I'm only doing this for myself as a small project given the amount of criticism on such a thread, so now it's become just a small coding project for myself. Obviously if somebody has released over 50 mods, it might end up taking awhile to count all the numbers and ratings for each mod. So, I might think of some ways to compensate for that. Of course there are more than 12 Emergency Vehicle modders, so like I said, these ratings aren't accurate, and given the amount of criticism on the thread, what if I were to do it another way, and just make a global rating algorithm? Would it be helpful to anyone? I think it would.

The script is here.

You can test it on any site that can run PHP code, just google 'run php online' and paste the code in of course.

Alright, so let's say somebody has 150 Voters total on every mod they've released, let's say they've released 6 Modifications total, and let's calculate and average from the total rating of each one of those mods, and then let's say that the total number of voters is 150, and then divide that by 500 which gives us a overall rating of 5.0266.

GlobalRatingSystem(150, 'Name_1', 6, [4.38, 4.85, 4.65, 4.74, 4.84, 4.90]);

Is that cool? Can we do it that way?

So, If you uploaded 30 mods, and have about 350 voters total all with ratings like

GlobalRatingSystem(350, 'Name_2', 30, [4.88, 4.85, 4.85, 4.94, 4.84, 4.90, 4.75, 4.78, 4.85, 4.94, 4.93, 4.78, 4.74, 4.88, 4.78, 4.78, 4.82, 4.55, 4.95, 4.88, 4.87, 4.42, 4.78, 4.85, 4.96, 4.56, 4.85, 4.74, 4.68, 4.78]);
You're gonna get a rating like:

What do you think?

From what I just read it is possible to get the model out of War Thunder.

"If you have a 32 bit OS you can simply use 3D Ripper DX to capture the models while running the game. It works well for me but getting all the textures is the tricky part. For me the ripper captures the lower resolution textures and doesn't always include all the normal map textures. I use an alternate method to extract the textures manually from the game files and apply them to the model in 3DSMax.
First, you must extract the game archives using the tool found here: http://forum.warthunder.com/index.ph...ewerextractor/
Second, you use the QuickBMS script to convert the .ddsx files to .dds files. The script is found here: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12177"
