MDL0 -low

Can you please explain it for me. What is These objects? Bit set or bit cleared? Have you an example for me?

Btw, I plan also a section about the *_d.szs files after some more tests.

And is it "-low" or "-lod"? Both strings appear in the game files as "%s-low" (once) and "%s-lod" (twice). -- Leseratte (talk) 03:07, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I changed it to "-low" because all MDL0s that uses lower polygon models or smaller textures have object name + -low as their MDL0 name, and I think that is what Atlas refers to. "These objects" should be all the general objects that have a MDL0.

"-lod" is kind of a mistake from me, since it's only used for CPU models (when they're far away, the characters turn into their low-poly, unanimated Level of Detail version, model-lod). The tag "_LOD" is found into TruckWagon.brres, and instead of those models tagged with "-low", this one loads in 1 Player mode too and it does the same as the CPU models, the model is changed to the Level of Detail version when the trucks are far away from the player. —Atlas (talk) 10:01, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I believe, that "-lod" has nothing to do with the presence flag. If the related bit is not set, the object is hidden. And this is true for TruckWagon/offline too.

Yeah, it hasn't. I've tested again, and it seems like -low models are loaded on a track from *_d.szs in splitscreen. In the race intro, the object loads the normal MDL0 instead. So, where is used the -low from the normal course .szs and not the *_d? My guesses are they're used for online 2 players splitscreen. But I can't test that. —Atlas (talk) 19:32, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
