Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Kurt Woods]

kinda strange imho...
I post here sometimes skins I made for myself in first place (i love making them and seeing them on track... , but then I think how many hours I spent on them and how it would be nice to also make some other ppl happy with them...
so I post a link for ppl who want to download and use them...
If I were to just post pics of the skins I made, without a url to share them, that would be odd..
I'd be like "look what I made!" , "but you can't have it ... "
And by no means are the skins I make perfect... that's not a requirement for something freely shared with the community here, is it?
I think many would love to be able to play with (and potentially improve on ) mods you create ; even if they are not perfect. Esp since you create stuff that isn't in AC yet , it's borderline cruel to keep it to yourself
Seriously now; isn't the best enjoyment to be had in sharing your efforts with the community?
(as long as you don't wanna sell it that is )
Or are you worried someone might then release your efforts as their own? (That would be a valid concern I guess)
Anyway , just my opinion, you do as you want obviously!
I for one would welcome your work , flawed or not (also a mod-junky here - with 6730 cars currently in my "collection")
Cheers!

@jac0

I agree whole heartily with you. I enjoy making skins and then seeing them on cars in my races. I have fun making skins of liveries I can't find or a totally fictional skin I think would look good on track. I have shared some of them here on GT Planet for those that would care to have them and hope they bring some sort of enjoyment for that brief time they get used in game.
I have also had them posted on another site claiming to be done by another creator, which really ticked me off for a while, not cool IMO. My skins are in no way perfect either, but I try to make a decent representation that will be recognizable in game and that which I'm happy with and as you say, get enjoyment by sharing with the community which I benefit from other creators as well.

Fooling around with lemans_2017. Similar to Okayama, the original is a bit washed out on my end, plus the seasonal stuff needs some fixing. Need to get the grass\tree brightness balanced better. Looks a bit too dark now that I see it in a picture, but it's a start.

That's true. But that code just completely removes the safety net afaik.
Author whistleblower39 should be able to fix the issue and keep the net installed imo.

I fixed mine with this change.

[WOBBLY_BIT_0]
NAME = Object-002 ; name of the node to move
CONNECTED_TO = -40.0, 0.830, -0.13 ; point to which node is attached to, and around which it will rotate

 

[Organizer777]

I wish my car & track collection was slim and trim as you hear some of the OG's speak of.

I have 3 versions of that car and don't know what any of them are like.

I install everything and then it sits. I have been at least rating a track after I drive it. Sometimes a car if it's really good.

I too had every car under the sun. I lessened my collection by going through them in the Content tab within Content Manager. Hit Alt-A. I deleted any car that didn't have cockpit_hr and 4 LOD's with low resolution cockpit. Honestly, I'm not sure what impact if any those attributes have performance wise but the original cars and professional releases all seem to have them. It thinned my collection dramatically and I'm personally not sad about it. There are still many cars to choose from and my perception of their quality is better.

 

[Alguecool]

Also whilst i think about it, I did those monster trucks, first and only proper monster trucks in AC, no one has done any since.
Now go onto ATCK's site and in say the Porsche section look how many are the same car by different modders.
That Merc few posts up is a good example.
So people don't want monster trucks so why share it out?

It's not because they are many that they are more important. From a cultural point of view, it's a seriously boring world you're embracing. "Why would I share my home-made experimental post-black metal if people listen to rock and r'n'b" ? Well, because it's for "the few" who do care, like you.

And why would you care anyway ? They choose their side, you choose yours. You think I "analyse the market" before going all bananas on one car for 2 weeks straight to give it a full grid skins-pack ? If analyse there is, it's more of a "does it already exist? No? Well it's needed then!", and even with that spirit in mind I keep doing what I want in the first place. Because why not. And people will get a touch on it if they wish, even if it's just one it's still "the one", and if he says thanks it's a victory. If it wasn't made to be popular in the first place, you won't be looking at numbers, because one is already enough.

You can have thousands versions of the popular model, there will always be a wish for the odd one. Who ? Why ? Who cares, I'm one of them, it's enough for me.

Long story short, I can understand the rest of your point of view (I mean, it's your's, so...the end), but honestly, not that part.

Odd people having odd fun with odd things from other odd people... Where do you think modding comes from ?

 

[Aaron Green]

Does anyone know if I deleted the base content cars to make way for more modded cars, would the game fail to run? I've not attempted, but wondered if others have?

Sorry i thought it was obvious.
I was saying that if a monster truck in AC was important then mine would of been seen and someone else would of done it.

A monster truck in AC isn't important, it was fun to do and they look ace, but beamng does the whole thing miles better.
That's all i meant, and i did clarify that people modding the same versions of cars is fine because its the modding that is the fun part so who cares if someone else already did it.

 

[Pfalzdriver]

Also true. But AFAIR this problem evolved with the newest version(s) of CSP, so its highly possible its a bug caused by CSP and not by a misconfiguration. So IMHO its more effective to remove the net until the next version of CSP instead of messing around with values (Wobbly_Bit).

[carTOON]

Guys does anyone know of a Fangio W196 mod or is this some forbidden fruit? Google results are dead links everywhere. I would make something, but correct 3D models are too expensive, I only got one available for free, but I'm not satisfied, especially the nose of the car is weird... If someone has already made it, I'd appreciate a working link, thanks!

Ok guys, quick question: Does someone have/know how to get the snowtrack from eROC sweden earlier this year? It appears you can still "sign up", but you don't actually get anything anymore.

You're definitely missing the point. Why are you caring how "important" it is for others ?
You want to take exemple at ACTK's website on the Porsche's, fine, let's take a look.
Looking into the Suzuki's page, there's a Carry Wagon! Who would want to drive one of the most boring "I_Use_iT_foR_wOrk" type of car ever ?
Looking into Subaru's page, there is a whole army of impreza's and a few BRZ, and... wait... A 360! A kei car! Who would want that ? Well... ME. I even upgraded it for my own use (driver position, shaders, that sort of things).

See ? I could keep going and going...
What's "important" is not what is available or popular, What's "important" is not relevant. Period. There is NOTHING important to be considered here. Because it could be for a thousand people or for just one, it would be the exact same for you : a series of numbers on a download page, but for THAT one, It might be a whole lot of fun for hours doing odd ideas you didn't even though to be possible. But that one doesn't have the know-how, the skills nor the time to make it himself, and probably didn't even thought about it in the first place. Still, He enjoyed it very much and thank you deeply for making it... You didn't made it for him or anyone in the first place, but hey, if it can bring joy somewhere, somehow, well go on then!

Ho and about the "always WIP", "no wipers", "they'll complain" thingy, it's what a modding community is all about. Helping, learning, upgrading, sharing, and caring. If by talking about mods you automatically think about encrypted content made exclusive on a patreon page for money, I might just take back everything I said earlier, but... You would have nothing to do on that page, right ?

No i'd not encrypt anything.
I personally don't see an issue with someone making mods but not releasing them.
There must be hundreds of people doing this.
I also like to take pictures and my cousin likes to do his videos, so its obvious i will take pictures of my mods, and invariably they will go on youtube with the videos.
I have never ever had an issue with people keeping stuff private, i have defended it before i even started modding.
The monster truck thing stands IMO, its better in bneamng or the official monster truck game.
Its fun in AC, but you aren't missing out on huge amount trust me.

However the, now three, ftrucks, VW, SCANIA, IVECO, will be released shortly to play with the two old ones.

 

[andrevr]

The game won't fail to run. Some modded cars can have dependencies in the base car list and could throw a fit about it but it would be a very small percentage.

 

[Fanapryde]

Sorry to report that none of the latest csp versions included a fix for this.

Edit: I should add that the @Guimagri00 is a perfect fix atm, thanks 👍

Like I said, I was only commenting that particular sentence ("I know people are not interested because it doesn't exist") because, from a socio-cultural point of view, it represent nothing less than the death of creativity.

"People are not YET interested because it doesn't exist...yet".
Small difference but a whole other view on the subject... And an open door to something new and exciting! Just keep it in mind, don't use the "lack of interest" of others as an excuse, it's not receivable

For the rest it's nothing of my concern, you do what you want with your mods.

Yes mate... has Mercedes banned mod versions of this model? Not available anywhere...

 

[Ale2Passos]

Hi guys. A question for those who know. Could someone tell me how to solve this? It starts to damage the engine as soon as you accelerate. It does it in all gears and I don't even get to force the RPM's to the maximum. This happens to me with most GTsupreme mods (this is the Lancia LC2/85). Any help you give me is welcome.

Because he probably doesn't have the turbo damage threshold above the actual boost amount. Look in engine.ini and add the boost of turbo(s) if there's two, go to the bottom of the file and look what the number is for turbo damage. Nothing like a modder that will say, but I don't use damage when I play. 😅

 

[Lracer]

@safi hellie Eitherway... you made me happy with several mods! If we have to shoot all imperfect mods and tracks... We would have a lot of work! Cheers

Hi. I would look into the engine.ini under the data folder.
There should be a [DAMAGE] section.
Here is an example of another Lancia LC2 Group C -1985:

[DAMAGE]
TURBO_BOOST_THRESHOLD=3.2 ; level of TOTAL boost before the engine starts to take damage
TURBO_DAMAGE_K=5 ; amount of damage per second per (boost - threshold)
RPM_THRESHOLD=9200 ; RPM at which the engine starts to take damage
RPM_DAMAGE_K=1 ; amount of damage per second per (rpm-threshold)

Maybe that will help you. VG Rob

In the Data folder -> engine.ini -> increase TURBO_BOOST_THRESHOLD and/or RPM_THRESHOLD to be a little higher than the max boost pressure it makes and limiter rpm respectively (I don't have that car myself, so I don't know the values for it)
(Double ninja'd damn...)

Thanks everyone for the tips, I'll check it out later. If I can't fix it I think I'll follow Beezer's example and play without damage, haha.

Yeah, something got lost somewhere, although I've enjoyed reading your thoughts on this.
What i meant was i always thought having a monster truck would be a big deal in AC, I was mega chuffed to do it and I've had a lot of fun with them.
But although it interested me, i would say, and i maybe wrong, that as no one else did it or bar one or two no one really showed much interest in it, and in the fact that i have beamng and its just better for that stuff, it was easy to just move on.
Same with the banger cars, i love them still use them, but its too niche so all i think about is "i want to do this for me" i don't think "what do people want".
I guess that makes a difference.
The ftrucks are different, i know there is already two in AC and i know that it would be a worthy addition to add 3 more.


I also doubt every modder releases everything they have ever done.

In fact there are several, I have a large number of them, but you can see that they are poorly worked because many of them do not even have liveries. I don't remember right now where I got them.
