[bf2editor]road mesh cut off at the end of spline

Post by Outlawz7 »

I was wondering if anyone else gets this and if it affects the actual road ingame once saved.
If you connect any available dirt road in editor they start getting cut off a few spline control points in and it gets cut off earlier the longer a spline is.

Meanwhile the start of the spline is ok

This only occurs with all the dirt roads, but not tarmac ones. Aside from the textures themselves, I can't find any difference that would cause this.

Build final roads, usually fixes it for me.

That worked. What is the difference between Ghost and Final roads, I thought Final meant they're compiled or something.

it builds and applies the road meshes. Ghost is just editor files.

I think :p

I think the only difference is they get slapped onto the terrain like they would ingame, also the editor lags more when you try to move built roads. Not sure if it affects anything else.

Yeah, it seems Ghost roads snap to the spline and Final snap to terrain (and lag like hell if spline CPs are moved).

Although I still don't get why this happens, it doesn't happen with tarmac roads at all. Only dirt road I didn't see this on was dirt_road_taraba.

I'll live with it I guess.
