Released Polish Roads 3.1.2 - discussion 3.1.2

Hello everyone.

After careful consideration, I have decided to address the VRAM and RAM usage issues in Polish Roads. Starting today, we have begun work on optimizing all models and removing duplicate textures that only differ in color.
These improvements are expected to be included in the next update following the release of version 0.38 for BeamNG.Drive. I hope these changes will bring the desired performance improvements.
Further information regarding optimization progress will be shared on our Discord server.
I truly hope this will lead to a significant improvement or even a complete resolution of the current issues.

Love to hear that cause i really like the map but having like 40 fps or less is a pain

 

Yea winter mode would be soooo cool. Like literally before it was my favorite map, that made me childhood, but now its gone

 

70/80% of the models on the map have been retextured, with improved L0D models. A lot of duplicate textures have been removed, and their resolution has been reduced. The map file size will also decrease, from 1.6 GB to about 1.5 GB (maybe even less).
the windows that light up during the day in the Oś. Wieczorka will be repaired; some kind of ,,szpont" into the lua or something.

 

this is easily the best map mod beamng has to offer, modded otherwise. it's so nice to see that it's still being updated and cared for

 

All models on the map have new textures, including L0D models.
What does this mean in practice?

It is impossible to stop at some bus stops. Has this been fixed in version 3.2?

 

i don’t know about this bug, can you provide more detail? (Bus line and bus stop)

 

Bus stop in front of the train station near Cebulówko

 

Should be fixed

 

well, thank you

 

The box for the bus to stop is at a different angle as the bus itself. I solved on my end by making it taller, so the lower limit goes into the groundand the bus will always fit inside it no matter if it's kneeled, or if the uneven terrain makes it too crooked to fit inside it. On My end I edited the scale values of all bus stop triggers to (5, 23, 10), So any bus mod will fit inside it, as well as it allows you to stop very close to the curb (as it would be expected from a bus driver).

 

yup, i know. Already did that. But thanks for letting me know
