Static LOD for MD5 models has been implemented. The code automatically scans for X - 1 LOD files for each .md5mesh file loaded. X is defined by the ''r_MD5MaxLodStages'' cvar, which defaults to 4 at the moment. The code will look for the following files:<br />
<br />
mymd5mesh.md5mesh (main model)<br />
mymd5mesh_lod1.md5mesh (1st lod)<br />
mymd5mesh_lod2.md5mesh (2st lod)<br />
mymd5mesh_lod3.md5mesh (3st lod)<br />
<br />
To create a MD5 mesh file to be used as a LOD stage, you have to make sure it has the same bone setup as the main mesh. During exporting, ensure to use the same commandline as well, but add -noJoints. Joint are only read from the main mesh file, so there is no need to have them stored in the LODstages as well.<br />
<br />
''r_MD5LodScale'' can be used to scale LOD faloff.<br />
