It's a long-shot, but there are sometimes areas in a game you can access that were used during development. If a development area were designated as a respawn point similar to a stronghold, you could probably change the information in the save file to point towards the development area instead of the stronghold you would normally spawn at.

This would require that such an area actually exists in the game files, and that the area have a respawn designation similar to the strongholds. The process would be a chore to figure out whether it exists in the first place, and then there's the question of whether there would be anything helpful in terms of manipulating vehicle spawns in that area on the off-chance that it exists.

It would probably all come to nothing since there are too many factors that would have to be true in order to get somewhere in that scenario.

When your driving around and you see a vehicle that's far away, you'll notice that it just looks like a basic shape. As you get closer, the vehicle will turn into a proper model. It's to save performance.

But maybe you did see the LL, but it was just the LOD, usually when you get closer to the vehicle it will turn into a different model and it will include all the detail (like reflections, paint etc.). But maybe the game can't laod the proper LL model, it can only load the LOD (the model you see when a vehicle is in the distance, before it dissapears).

A quick Google:

"In computer graphics, accounting for level of detail involves decreasing the complexity of a 3D object representation as it moves away from the viewer."

Has MW2 left yet? Good. He can stop sucking up to the moderators now by saying 'Please stop this' and 'Please stop that'.

I asked a moderator to ban him from this thread, if it was possible.
It was good, that Driber cleaned that falme / spam before thou.

You simply can't talk to MW2 so it would be good for this thread and everyone here if he leaves this thread totally or gets banned from this thread


But.. might it actually be LL, what I saw?
It had pretty low distance between the bottom of the bus and ground.
And big tires, tons of glass.

It's easy to miss though, especially if it was the LOD and not the actual model that you saw. You could easily mistake the LL for the DingGong, but you could also mistake the DingGong for the LeisureLiner.

That single decker Dinggong looks a lot like the LL, so maybe you saw that instead....

Why are you still here?

Also, Pillow, I don't think you saw it because I don't even think it's in the game.
And this bus gets to your mind .

What if it can't spawn,what if there is a error somewhere.

And what might give you that conclusion?

It's in the game for sure. But something's stopping it from appearing.
But we don't know that it's impossible for it to show up. There is definately a problem, but is it impossible for it to spawn, or just very unlikely?.. only the dev's know that. (I don't even think they know either)

Did this "unknown vehicle" you saw dissapear when you tried to get closer? If so then it could possibly have been the LL, it's in the coding but for the game to spawn the proper LL it has to read a seperate part of the spawn code. There are two different models for each vehicle, building, and texture in the game, an LOD (Level of Detail) model, and a "Proper" model (i don't know the Technical name for it).

I didn't get closer to it immedially.
But yes, it disappeared, since it got too far away from me.

Speaking of disappearances, 2 of my 75k Monster Trucks disappeared when I turned my back on them . Lol, I think we should all just sit down, have a cup of tea and wait for a patch

You know, Yes.. ,maybe the game is tricking us somehow.

So i have an idea for you MW2. Maybe that boat thing that you saw does actually ,make the LL spawn. So here's something to try, get the Transport Heli and Airlift that boat out of the water. (It shouldn't be that heavy). Then take the boat to the desert, be careful when flying it though because it might be hard. Once you get to the desert, drop the boat in the middle of a busy road (try the coastal road to the East of the desert.). Once you drop the boat on the road, get out of the heli and enter the boat and wait to see if the LL spawns. This may work because the game will get confused why your inside a sea vehicle, but your on land. So maybe the LL will spawn. I think you should try it since you know where you saw that boat in your other post a few pages back.

So why don't you try that and tell us if it works... i have a feeling it will. And if not, maybe it will work in the jungle.

I like your way of thinking.
Big boat = big bus.
You my friend solved the puzzle.
