This took longer then expected, but (exactly) two months after my initial release, here is version 1.6 of the 2017 LMP1 Porsche 919 Hybrid.
I've done loads of bug fixes: the smurfs have been kicked out so the car no longer turns blue when you crash, I've added lots of LODs, and I migrated everything to the correct folder.
Wait, correct folder? Yeah, I made a stupid mistake on v1.5: when comparing the many versions of the 2017 Porsche 919 Hybrid I accidentally started working with the gtp_ version of the car, instead of the str_ (SpeedStar) version of the car. Now the car was and still is based on the SpeedStar (str_) version of the car, it's just that I merged to the wrong folder/files in v1.5. This is now corrected in v1.6. This means that version 1.5's folder was 'gtp_porsche_919_2017' and for 1.6 it's 'str_lmp1_porsche_919_hybrid_2017' - you probably want to
delete any previous versions of the car, both my v1.5 gtp_ version, and any v1.4.x str_ version you might have.
The full changelog for version 1.6:
- Renamed folder to str_lmp1_porsche_919_hybrid_2017 (please delete both older str_lmp1_porsche_919_hybrid_2017 and my v1.5 gtp_porsche_919_2017 folders)
- Added LODs, they are not perfect but good enough for now (and better than nothing)
- Slightly changed some data files to better align with SpeedStar2000's latest version (1.4.1)
- Issues with blurred rims becoming transparant have been solved (in a hacky way because the 3D-model is weird)
- Re-textured some rim decals and corrected the shaders
- Issues with visual damage creating a blue hue over the car have been solved
- Basic implementation of visual damage added, the car will somewhat correctly crack and scrape if you crash it and have damage enabled
- Minor updates to AO textures
- Minor updates to NM textures
- Updates to Tribute versions of the car with regards to sponsors (very minor)
- Corrected white number on the back of the car (very minor)
- Cleaned up the Data folder and some other development stuff before release
Enjoy! And do let me know if you run into any issues.
