2017-12-08 snapshot

Post by jlv »

  • Added erode_limit setting.
  • Client version is now 29.
Windows users: http://www.mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mx ... 8-1373.exe
Linux users: http://www.mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mx ... 12-08-1373

Replace mx.exe or mxbin with one of the above files. The default location for mx.exe should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\MX Simulator". I'd keep a backup of the originals since these aren't well tested.

If you aren't running a server, ignore everything below this line.

Here are the required servers. (Same as the last snapshot.) You want --min-version 29 to prevent inconsistent erode with old clients.

Windows: http://www.mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mx ... 7-1369.exe
Linux: http://www.mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mx ... 11-17-1369

Here's how erode_limit works:

erode_limit <depth> <limit> <inner limit>
This sets the erode limit at a specific depth. When the track is worn to the specified depth, the depth and inner depth will be multiplied by the limit and inner limit respectively. When between depths it will interpolate. Default is 1 1 at depth 0 and 0 0 at depth 1.

To do the default you'd write it like this:
erode_limit 0.0 1.0 1.0
erode_limit 1.0 0.0 0.0

Sweet.

Just to clarify, what is the unit of measurement for erode_limit <depth>? Is it feet below/above the original terrain? Does the limit also apply to dirt that is pushed upward (like the outside of a rut)?

Thanks!

No. It changes the depth settings depending on how deep it is where the wheel is touching the ground. You could try a negative depth to make more or less wear for terrain that has been raised but I'm not sure if it'd help or make things worse.

Is everyone happy with the erode limit setting? If it needs any changes I'd like to do it before I wrap up version 1.12.

I love the new erode and everything but on my old computer it Lags a little. Is there anything I can do or something cheap I could buy to help with the lag?

Thanks

I haven't noticed any problems with my limited testing. However, I don't completely understand how the game defines "depth."

When it is calculating the depth of the spot where the wheel is touching the ground, what is the reference point?

Thanks.

It can be optimized a bit more, but the last round of optimizations lowered the amount of time spent reshading after erode enough that another tenfold improvement isn't going to happen.

The depth is the difference in height between the original field when the track was loaded and the current field measured at the contact point of the wheel.

where do i write this?

In the tileinfo file for the track.
