Re: MTM2 Beta Patch 0.50 - Spreadsheet menus begone!

Rudee converted them, from evo, just bins.

Yes the old hack is working somewhat. It's seethrough but you don't truly feel the presence of a "glass material" because it is getting no shade/reflections.

[Fila]

I had hoped to release this tomorrow but just like the previous betas, I've ended up packing quite a bit into it so most likely on the weekend.

It also needed extra testing because of the change in filename length and there's suddenly buffer overflows everywhere.

[OG_RuDeE]

It's going to be even better when I tell you how easy it is to do it now. In BinEdit, all you do is select the faces, click a button and then tell it to render it as glass (it even allows you to play with different settings to increase/decrease strength). So you don't even need to make a new texture for it.

Does this and the comment about the brightness darkness of the new leaf shader face type mean you're doing some work on binedit too?

[Fila]

I have to otherwise how else will people use these new things.

[OG_RuDeE]

Blender and the plug-in but yeah having it in binedit too will be nice. Are you making it easier to select faces now in binedit like by clicking on them, as Cale suggested?

I hope you'll be able to give us the new info and where it's stored so we can implement it in the plugin too.

Any further increase to the maximum amount of .POD's in the load-order, with the move to 64-bit?

[Fila]

Haha. I'm just going to increase that maximum amount and then you guys are on your own (as in, if you have pods that conflict with other pods in the load order).

[Fila]

Aiming to get this done around Saturday night.

The reason AI trucks suck in J drags is that TRI capped their speed, probably because otherwise they drive straight into the wall and won't turn. Will have to see how to fix this to make J drags competitive. At least as a temporary solution until I finally get to work on the AI truck behaviour.

Funny enough, from memory, if you were to drive on the J Drags on Rookie difficulty, you're also speed capped, not just the AI, and I'm willing to bet it's the same reason with the AI trucks, Rookie drivers are also more likely to crash head first into the wall.

Bad news. I was afraid of this and I hoped to finish in time but I didn't. There's a hurricane nearby and the power, as I feared, went out so no chance of me finishing this tonight. Meh

[OG_RuDeE]

Stay safe out there.

Bloody hurricanes!!! Keep yourself nice and safe! And possibly even a wet one, since I've seen hurricanes in places like Queensland, Australia act like monsoons, massive rainfalls!

I blame hurricane disasters for interfering you trying to finish patch.

I hate hurricanes.

P.S. Be safe out there.

[Jpez1432]

Hey Fila, hope all is well with the hurricane. Stay safe. Quite all weekend.

[Fila]

I'm good everyone. The hurricane only passed by but the infrastructure is really bad. I still don't have power and the phone were not working at all either until this morning.

Otherwise everything is fine minus the power issue.

That's good to hear, Fila.

Let's hope that hurricane disaster won't happen again.

[OG_RuDeE]

Yes, very good to hear. Thanks for the update. Glad you've got phone service back at least.
