GLOBAL VEHICLE TRAFFIC - No emissive textures?

Post by pwilster » Thu Mar 03, 2022 3:27 pm

I'm interested in this product, nevertheless I wish the night version of the textures would have Emissive Headlights, there's only one screenshot of the cars at night and they seem to have the same problem as the vanilla version: No emissive texture. So the cars have this strange appearance where they have volumetric light but the headlights are off.

Is there plans for revisions?

Some of our cars do have the emissive textures. We just did not add to all of them as they aren't noticable and will only increase VRAM consumption. We might explore the possibility of adding to them, if that doesn't hurt performance.

oh I promise you, it IS noticeable! XP11 was very good at it. I'll upload an example:

Understood, we will try to add if performance permits. As for XP, its a different engine and its actually more noticeable there. We tested with our emissive on some vehicles, and to be honest from 200 feet or even 100 feet above you barely notice. Will see.

I just bought this and I spent good time to edit _LM- textures to make a little light on them, but LM- file is missin most of the cars!!!! It looks like this is made half assed way and they had no intrest to do it properly. I "painted" all headlights pure white and backlights red so now they are little bit more visible, but that lack of _LM- texture keep most of the cars pitch black at night.
