.shp files

I have looked all over the forum and can't fine anything so I was wondering if someone could please explain to me what is the basis of the .shp collision files. i.e. which numbers represent what aspect of the object. I have tried changing some of the numbers to see where it is reflected in relationship to certain objects and I can't see where it changes the collision in the game. If someone could just explain the layout of the .shp file it would be greatly appreciated.

JLV or anyone else that knows, will the number of spheres in a collision file start to affect framerate? Say I have an object that I need to have alot of spheres. I'm talking like 70 or more. Will this affect framerate any? Thanks in advance

It will, but only when bikes are close to the object. Before the real collision test there is a test against a bounding sphere that would cover everything in the object. If the bike is touching that sphere it will then test against the real object.

70 spheres won't be much. I made a bridge with 10000 spheres, that crashed the game :shock:
