Fixed Mid Ohio Skybox issue

[Darius Hayati]

Hi Guys

Since updating to the latest version of Game Stock Car with the updated shaders and skybox the Mid Ohio (Virtua_LM track) skybox was broken. For me it was just showing the night skybox complete with stars. The road was perfectly lit as if it was daytime.

Anyway I managed to fix the issue by editing the SCN file with a text editor and changing these lines

change
//-------------------------------------------------------

MASFile=Virtua_LM_MidOhio.mas
MASFile=Virtua_LM_MidOhioMAP.mas
MASFile=COMMONMAPS.MAS
//-------------------------------------------------------
to
//-------------------------------------------------------

MASFile=Virtua_LM_MidOhio.mas
MASFile=Virtua_LM_MidOhioMAP.mas
MASFile=COMMONMAPS.MAS
MASFile=CloudsMed.MAS
MASFile=SkyTropicalHaze.MAS
MASFile=Sky.MAS
//-------------------------------------------------------

then at the bottom of the file change
//-------------------------------------------------------

Instance=skyboxi
{
Moveable=True
MeshFile=skyboxi.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False
Instance=Sky
{
Moveable=True
MeshFile=Sky.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False
}
}
//-------------------------------------------------------
to
Instance=skyboxi
{
Moveable=True
MeshFile=skyboxi.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False Render=False
Instance=CLOUDS
{

Moveable=True
MeshFile=skyboxi.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False
Instance=Sky
{
Moveable=True
//MeshFile=Sky.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False
MeshFile=SRPL_sky3_dome1.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowReceiver=False
MeshFile=SRPL_sky3_sun1.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowReceiver=False
//MeshFile=SRPL_sky3_moonwithglow1.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowReceiver=False
}
}
}
//-------------------------------------------------------
You have to do this for each variation of the track but now it looks great. Hope that helps anyone else with this issue.

Mid Ohio updated to v1.21 already exist, with new skies, new atmosphere, roadshaders...

I think they are 2 different versions? OP was talking about VLM version and i think your version is taken from Simraceway?

edit: just tried out your v2.2, looks fantastic!!

I'm not sure, maybe you're right Marc. I have no idea where this version was taken. It has 2 variants, with and without chicane. This is the loading screen...

Thanks Patrick I'll check that out later. I did search for a fix already but not much came up.

Yah me too. Haha if you find any new good ones let a brotha know. Honestly I have more mods than I can handle right now haha.

 

[Thug-Life]

Of course, if I find something good, I tell you.

Me too. I have tried more than 400 tracks and over 100 mods. Above I have even more to prove (tracks and mods).

I think VLN version is better. Unfortunately, only version before 121 are available for download. I'd like to have a VLN version with sky updates.
