Vehicle track2 shader patch V1.0

For some reason Rockstar loves to add great vehicle features and then hardcode them to only specific vehicles. This patch, brought to you directly from the Emperor’s snowy castle, aims to remove one such limitation!

So, in this case, it is a vehicle shader known as “vehicle_track2,” primarily used for animating engine belts. The way this shader works by default, is that it only animates the left side of the car and not the right side. As one can imagine, that is a big problem! There is a workaround for this actually, by breaking the model in a way where an entire object is flipped in such a way where it ends up on the left side of the car and then the game flips it back to the correct way when the vehicle is rendered in game, allowing the shader to work on the right side of the car as well. But from my experience that rarely worked, and felt too messy on the model for my liking. Additionally, that workaround does not apply the additional behavior to the animation, which is speed adjustment. The shader is also hardcoded in such a way that the speed of the animation is dependent on the amount of throttle, i.e. it’s slower when idling and a lot faster when revving up. This patch makes it so that every car in the game, whether vanilla or modded, can have those effects applied to it… as long as the shader is present on the car, of course.

FEATURES
• Hardcoded effects of the vehicle_track2 shader enabled on every single car, now allowing it to animate on the right side of the car and adjust speed based on throttle.

INSTALLATION
Drop the “FubukiTrack2Patch.asi” file into the root directory of your Grand Theft Auto V installation.

THINGS TO NOTE
• This was ONLY tested on the latest version (1.0.3028.0) of the game. If the script causes an infinite loading screen or an error popup at startup, that means you are on an unsupported version and the mod will not work!! Sorry.
