Thank you. The new "inner erode" settings are really cool and seem to help with a few smaller issues I've had now that I see how it works.

Still no go on getting rid of kickers. I have yet to have a jump do this:
Image

Where the lip gets eaten out and lower (sometimes flatter too if it's lipped at the top). The kicker issue seems to be less with the min slope at .2, but still not gone and still won't cut through the top of a jump.

I have only tried these in single player, but for SX I like what they are doing besides the kicker issue. Even whoops I'm getting some nicer more realistic erode with these.

Code: Select all

erode_depth 0.5
erode_lower 50.0
erode_upper 52.0
erode_displacement 2.50
erode_radius 5.0
erode_inner_depth 2.0
erode_inner_radius 1.5
erode_min_slope -0.20
erode_max_slope 0.990
erode_off_speed 10.0
erode_on_speed 15.0
erode_slip_base_scale 1.0
erode_slip_scale 3.0
erode_slip_lower 0.0
erode_slip_upper 5.0
I wouldn't say these are final, and they may be a bit tentative in spots, but I'm getting somewhere at least.

Yeah JLV needs to still improve erode and tweak the shit out of it because I want to see those lines dug out on a jump face in MXS now that would be realistic and make this game insane!

Try going lower on erode_slip_upper. Might be a deal breaker to lower the traction but if the traction is too high it'll be harder to make those ruts happen.

How dare you, we demand asphalt traction levels!

Still dealing with kickers. As of right now erode is not useable for a legit SX race because you jump ridiculous stuff.

Just did a little testing myself and I had to limit both the min and max slopes to stop keep it from digging up the jumps. Not sure what's going on there since the force vector should be going downhill. I'll investigate it after I finish up the server reliable message rate control.

I didn't wanna start a new thread for this, and since this snapshot is dealing with erode.... How in the world does this work?
Do I have to update my erode settings to play offline and online? Or is it like when you join an erode server those settings are applied? I'm trying to get back into the game, and this sounds super fun, but I've not got to try it out yet. Any tips or links to more info would be appreciated!

It's enabled on the server so as a player all you need to do is use this snapshot on the right server.
