berm moving

[moorin]

just wondering how hard would it be to change the erosion so it builds mud up around the track and forms decent berms that move lap by lap or if you rail into a berm it changes everytime because the tyres have moved the mud? or maybe make decent ruts on the face of jumps or big brakin bumps that form? or have instead of permanent tyre marks on tracks your bikes actually make the tyre marks as you go around on the mud decal? i thought these ideas would make a huge difference in the realsim because if you go on many of the tracks people have made the tyre marks stay the same when in fact they should be not there until your bike makes them.

that´s implemented, just add --erode 1.0

i think ruts and breaking bumps has to be softer, small sand bumps shouldnt feel like rocks when coming in to a corner

[moorin]

i know you can you can use erode i just think the way it works isn't very relatic has it makes a trough and then the mud that has being taken away just dissapears as if in sinking sand when infact it should be piled up into berms and ruts if you get me? i think how round the profile of the erosion is aswell isnt very good and its also very deep to say usually a motocross bike only takes off a small amount fo dirt at a time and certainly doesn't make a smooth round trough in the ground

I was wondering also if you could make it so the track has a sort of lod.

Like, lap 1 would be perfect, and lap 20 would be a created version of the track, that's beat to hell.


So, for every lap you make a new terrain.png, but have them set to lod so they change every lap. But, it wouldn't look to nice when you aren't the leader. Maybe a way to work it in slowly would be possible.

i just use erode 0.1 and it does it in more of a slower realistic fashion... still wide and deep tho

[Voutare]

If you erode an HD track, it will be half as wide.

[DJ99X]

Yeah, thats the problem. 1 pixel is 2 feet wide, so the thinnest rut possible with the normal sort of terrains is 2ft. If you put erode on and ride one of the HD supercross's, you'll get better results.

[moorin]

any chance of some hd national tracks? but even if the erode is on i think the ability to form tyre marks in the soil to only where you have being would be better because like in real life you would start with a nice groomed track and then you put tyre marks on it they don't appear automatically

[frederick]

im doing a hd national right now. im not sure the AI will ride it well though

[Voutare]

Same here. I've actually got a few going that will never be released.

[moorin]

any pictures guys? are they replicas? please someone do a sand track im dying to ride one.

[frederick]

Im still in learning stages, many parts of my track has been edited alot.




unfortunatley...(sp?) the ruts on the third pic arent showing, copy paste into your pictures gallery and then watch it from there and you will see

[Voutare]

I'd suggest doing ruts in a photo editor. Makes them MUCH nicer looking. Also makes them a lot narrower and realistic.

i might try something for a hd mx... but i mean with the space given im not garunteeing its gunna be the prettyest thing ever
