[Tutorial] Easy way to fix body damage instead of deleting meshsave.txt everytime

[Red]

Since the body damage system is bugged to hell and walking into your door dents it in, many people delete their meshsave.txt every time they close their game. Instead of doing that, I found an easier way to fix it.

1. Delete your meshsave.txt from C:\Users\{accountname}\AppData\LocalLow\Amistech\My Summer Car

2. Load your savegame, a fresh meshsave.txt should be created in the same folder.

3. Right click it, click on properties and set the file to read-only.

4. Click on apply and then on OK.

Done, every time you restart or reload your savegame now your body damage will be fixed!

Very smart idea!! I'm sure that will help a lot of peeps on here that like to drive after having a few too many!

Thanks for posting where the developer can see it lol, I'm sure he is now working to encrypt the meshfile into one save file

That's not the point, if the body damage was working properly I wouldn't have posted this. But walking into your door or jumping into the engine bay trying to fix a bolt damages the body already. ;)

Yeah, I dented my door with a pack of sausages, I'd say it's a bit sensitive.

Just remember, you won't be able to start a new game until you take the file off of read only mode.

You can actually go into MSCEditor and load your meshsave file, then delete "carbodymassmesh" and "carbodymesh" and that way, the damage done to the individual body panels (bumpers, doors, hood, trunk lid, grille, w/e else) will save, but the damage done to the actual body of the car will not. It's kind of fun to look at a bent bumper or a dented door and think back to how you managed to get that damage, but the damage dealt to the actual main body of the car is usually caused by glitches and physics bugs, plus its too expensive to repair even with the 40% discount.

i dont think that would stop you from creating new save

why is everything "I think" with this forum lmfao. In order to create a new save data the game has to delete and replace meshsave.txt and defaulteES2File. if a file is set to read only an external program obviously cannot delete it. not to mention I've had it happen to me. And I even just verified that it still happens, and it does.

Use the repair hammer mod (a redux one is out now). Just add body repair into your gameplay loop.
