I thought I had better let you all know where things are right now. Luke did a great job putting the mod together, so a big thanks to him. Unfotunately there were/are some fundemental problems that need fixing. I was not involved in the mod during its inception, so I have had to pick this up and check everything to find the build problems.
The collision problems, were due to various parts of the cars being attributed, or referenced differently in the damage file, and parts of the vehicles referenced differently in the GEN files. I worked to standardise these so that they are the same references and attributes throughout. Also some of the teams that were added into the Mod from other sources, have more deformable parts than others, and therefore require standardising to match the damage file references. This requires some updating/combining of model parts. The ride height of the cars may just be graphical offset, but may need tweaking to suit all cars. The Ferrari Model is too heavy in file size, and this causes some freezing/stuttering, as its 8mb in size which is about 4x the normal. This model will need replacing.
There is an LRC update at some point in the next 2 weeks, which may be worth waiting for, but thats up to Livio as to whether its worth the wait. Anyway I am continuing with the current mod, but I also have work, and therefore will take a few days, so I am aiming for the weekend with a patch.
Thanks Darren, we all hope you'll solve the problems. Take your days, this is only a game ;)
