Fixing old DOF models.

INTRODUCTION

DOF_Fix is a small tool that helps in fixing older DOF (3D model) files that have problems.

DOWNLOAD

DOFFix is supplied with Racer since v0.5.3 beta 8. However, you can download a separate copy with the link below:

SYMPTOMS

After a run with a certain car & track, check QLOG.txt (i.e. c:/sims/racer/QLOG.txt) for messages like these:

Empty chunk id in geode 'body_bug.dof'; probably an old ZModeler buggy export.

This message for example is generated for older DOF files generated by ZModeler v1.0, which has a small problem in its DOF export filter.

USAGE

DOF_Fix will fix the DOF files you supply it as arguments. Note that the tool will overwrite the supplied files, so BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILES FIRST!!!

The general command is: dof_fix <file1> [<file2>...]

Patterns are accepted; use dof_fix *.dof to fix all DOF files in the current directory.

NOTES

• A bunch of messages may appear, mostly stating it can't read texture image files. You can ignore those.
