Just arrived home. Looks like there are some electrical problems in our area, with snow and such. Hm, It's 1 o'clock in the morning here, so I afraid I can't test too much now without power.
But I will take a notebook to work tomorrow morning and I can test this visual stuff pretty easily there!

Thanks again for all your hard work!
I don't see anything different.
The LODs just switches as in the default game, depending on how far or close the character is. What are you seeing different on your side?
It just forces low LOD on the goalie stuff. It could easily be something that changes locations.
Take a look at this. It seems to bug the helmets, but how else does it look.
$lod assets
04d94984 60000000
Here is what the other code did. What's that plastic thing under the helmet... a neck guard? It looks like low LOD is higher detail than high lod....
If we change our original lod code to:
$LOD high mod
048170c8 4aa00000
04d946c8 3c000003
04d946cc 6000040c
04d946c0 60000000
Goalies look better, but I'm guessing other stuff breaks. Can you get a feel for it? Does anything with goalie look wrong? Other players? Maybe I can force some values when the goalie is rendered.
These are all Gecko?
Yep, looks like Gecko
Lod assets code forces the low-quality LOD. Yes, it makes the equipment solid, but everything else on goalies looks really bad. It makes his geometry really poor and jersey looks broken.
Also, other players look bad.
$LOD high mod
You are right it added some extra details to helmet

.
Buy still. If you look at the jerseys, it looks distorted. Also his face is bad and a piece of his neck is missing haha.
This will be a tough one.
What don't we want from the image on the right that I posted?
His body, that's a jersey, face, pants, and pads (that's that huge equipment on his legs)
Ok, still not sure how much we can separate.
Yeah, looks to be really tough.
Not sure you are aware of it, but you can edit all the equipment in the player/goalie editor, like in the video below.
Might point you to some addresses eventually?
