Tire Rotation

[gavinc]

gavinc hit the nail right on the head.
Sure enough r_tire is the last entry in the DICT_SECTION. reorganising it thus

;DICT_SECTION

Fixed the wheel.
The attached file is clearly not a PDF please don't try opening it as such. It needs to be tested to see what effect moving crash_check has.

Well i am learning things as well - I never realized that the definitions could be out of numerical order.

BD,
Now the tyre's working I would take this opertunity to null out the crash check entry, which conveniently is the last one now! Also if there is a g_lightstates entry, null this as well.

This will stop the possiblity of CTDs in QC or missions caused by these 'left-overs'.

Another bit of very useful info here, thanks fellas!

Cheers Shessi

Sometimes it can be solved by adding a dummy line to the end of the GUIDParam section. In this case I would use something like
;UINT32 E0 4 {00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000000} dummy0

Hope this helps.

Well, this is the one I tried....works like a charm. Thanks Gavinc and also to everyone else that pitched in. It's nice to see something come together like this.

The A-7 has a complete set of rollers now. Can you see that in the picture?
Yeah...I didn't think so. But it's there. :ernae:

Well, Shessi...

I'm using the mdl.zip.pdf that simonu fixed in the post above.

If you could fix it and re-post it, ...or if simonu can do the deed...?

...I'd be happy to test it.

That's about the extent of my contribution on this one.

Thanks in advance.
