[1.29] Volvo VNR fix

[galimim]

I have updated the Volvo VNR by Franck Peru in order to get rid of as many Errors/warnings as I can.

ALL CREDIT GOES TO:
FRANCK PERU for the truck model
PIVA for the dash computer
Kriechbaum for X15 and D13 sound

It is my first time doing anything like this, I hope there are no errors done on my part.

Tuning wise this is a very basic model and it will stay that way. I might add some stuff like plastic bumper. I can add locators if anyone wants to make additional parts for it

Flow below bits donated by Wolfi and GTM team

Going to try it out and see if the signs stay on.

EDIT: Can't download due to Error 502 (Server Error) in your link

[galimim]

It is a google drive problem :/ I'll upload it someplace elsee

[galimim]

It works now

Thanks really good mod update but I noticed as follows :

minor issue : the tv is still there (accessory def and folder not removed)
major issue : no sound not only because of wrong path ("500" subfolder missing in sound folder) but the sound defs and the ogg files names don't match.

[galimim]

Thanks for the bug report, will be fixed in the next version along with some other stuff.

[galimim]

Update!

1.1: Seperated bumper, added a plastic variant
Seperated mudflaps, added another variant
Added collision boxes for cabs
Bug fixes

you will need to buy bumper and mudflaps again if you own the truck.

Don't mind the errors about ogg files, it has to do with compression of sound files

The mod is quite well than before but for me it is still very heavy, you intend to change the textures itself into something lighter and '' simple '' like the GTM trucks?

[Blackspots]

@LincolnCFCruz: The textures in this mod are generally uncompressed 2048x2048 and 1024x1024. There are no 4096x4096 textures.

I just went through the ones I figured didn't have compression (you can usually tell, when the file size is different than what it would be with compression). I managed to reduce the mod size from 143MB to 107MB

@ShirBlackspots

These converted turbosquid models work very badly on simpler computers, I can run the 30 (interior) / 60 (outside) fps quietly with the standard trucks of the game or with those made by the GTM team and when I put these models I can not to go from 20 fps up to the amount of polygons present but wanted to know if it is not possible to change a 100% modeled truck with one that uses textures instead of some details leaving a little lighter like the volvo F88 made by XBS.

Sorry if it got a bit confusing, my English is not very good.
