@ikt THANK YOU!

@a63nt-5m1th Any clue what the difference between collisionmultiplier and deformatiomultiplier is? Deformation seems to control the visual damage, and I cant really tell any difference from changing collisionmult.

I know I've done it before but I forgot how. I'm pretty sure it was in ENB where you have the option to restore roof and door damage to vehicles.

Or move the center of mass rearward. But yeah, trac bias should never be beyond 0.5 IMO

@ArmaniAdnr By symbols, you mean the opening and closing tags?

@Reacon said in Why are there two handling.meta files in two locations?:

@PermissionToLand the game doesn't load anything from common.rpf if its in update.rpf, so handling, vehicles.meta etc just edit update.rpf

Okay, thanks man. Now to figure out why my edits don't seem to be having an effect...

There's the one in common.rpf and the one in update.rpf. Both seem to be the same master list of vehicles for the base game (not asking about DLC .metas).

I was editing the one in update.rpf and the changes seemed to be having a lessened effect on the cars, which I assumed was due to the other meta in common.rpf conflicting with the values. But as I replaced the other one with the same edited file, it still doesn't seem to be having the effect it should on handling.

I have some things you can add: CenterofMass Z value affects body roll as well. Negative values prevent body roll and positive values increase it. The Y value also affects handling in a somewhat similar way to tractionbias, but less pronounced. And finally, the InertiaMultiplier Y value also affects how quickly the car rolls from side to side when on the ground as well. Turn it up and a car with a soft suspension doesn't immediately snap down when the body rolls. Looks more realistic.

@Sulrix I'm having the same problem. So are you saying there are too many cars added to the dispatch.meta? Because I added quite a few from Dispatchworks and IVpack. The empty police cars I've seen were just spawning in traffic, not chasing me. The ones chasing me had drivers. All I did was add the model names into popgroups.ymt and dispatch.meta. Is there something else I missed?

@dodgeboy121 That's not strange, it's called GRAVITY.
