[DEV] Live gear change display on speedometer
Here's how to get the gearshift display on your vehicle's digital cluster without any scripts or trainers..
** Imp. Key points to remember
- The correct display of the current gear depends on the digital UV map and the vehicle's handling data.
- If your vehicle handles data similar to that of a sedan or slower car, you may need to adjust the UVs accordingly.
- Before adjusting UVs, first determine the vehicle's handling data and check the speed of change of different gears in the game.
- Common gear shifting patterns for a typical sports car/supercar:
- 1st gear: 1-30 (mph)
- Level 2: 30 - 60
- Level 3: 60 - 80
- Level 4: 80 - 100
- 5th gear: 100 -120
- 6th:120 - 180
- I included a reference dial texture in the .z3d file to facilitate UV mapping.
- If you are satisfied with the movement pattern, place all 7 objects (N to 6) at the top of the hierarchy below the chassis.
- Do not append numbers to each other in zmodeler, all 7 objects should be positioned as is when exported.
- You can also place all 7 objects under the dial compound, doing so will cause the game to only show the gear when the player is in the vehicle.
- This example only works with the "script_rt_dials_race" texture, so you have to change the vehicle's default dials to this..
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
