Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[racinjoe013]

Yes I am unzipping or unraring them first to see where things go. You're right, the easy ones are when you open them up and it says CONTENT, I know that goes into the main assettocorsa file. It's when there are multiple options that I seem to struggle with. Now last night after I finally got the main spa_2022 track installed, I downloaded the pyyer extension file from @racinjoe013 and opened it up and it said CONTENT, but he said to put that to the spa_2022 track file and not the assettocorsa file but it's not showing up.

I had a similar issue with @DaWallace car pack. Downloaded the main file and opened it up and there were subfolders like DW_VIPER and I'm paraphrasing from memory, so I installed each one of them into CARS. But that caused an error. So I was trying to figure out what happened so I went back and looked at those files again and further opened up each one I think two or three more times and then got to dw_viper which is where the actual car file was and installed each one in CARS and they showed up.

If every file opened up with CONTENT then I probably wouldn't have as much trouble as I do. But it's when there are multiple subfolders that I really struggle with. I'm sure more computer savy people see these instructions as clear as day but a lot of them are very blurry to me.

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my directions. All my mods are setup to drag them into the root 'assettocorsa' directory. The reason I mentioned it goes in the Spa_2022 folder was so people would know which version of the Pyyer files to download.

Originally, I just had one standalone version named Spa_2022 that had it's own track folder. Then some people asked me if I could make a version that installs into the Kunos Spa folder so I did. Unfortunately that means now I have to do every update twice and things can get a little confusing. The files needed to make the Pyyer extensions work are not the same for both versions so I needed to make two versions of those files as well. I was just trying to make people aware of which version went with what. I should consider dropping the Spa folder version so things are not as confusing moving forward.

To clear things up for you, here's the exact directions you need to follow:

1.) Install the Spa_2022 track by dragging the content folder into the root 'assettocorsa' folder.

2.) Manually install the Pyyer extensions into the newly created spa_2022 folder. And when I say manually, don't just drag his files into the root 'assettocorsa' folder or they won't get placed in the right location. Navigate through his .zip file until you get to where all the files are located. The common, layout, ui folders, etc. Drag all of those into the spa_2022 folder.

3.) Download the appropriate updated Pyyer files I provided and drag the content folder directly into the root 'asettocorsa' folder and overwrite anything it asks.

Good afternoon. I need help, maybe someone is familiar with this font (racing number) and knows its name?

You can try a higher CSP version, no?

Hello my dear friend. I can solve the problem experienced in viper by deleting the arb front and arb rear parameters and the car is ready for the race. You may want to look.

If you click on a rar/zip file and anything inside of it says content then that 1000% goes into the main AC. If you click onto a rar and it looks like a track name as the folder then logic would dictate that it'll go straight into the tracks folder, the same logic goes for folders that have car names... That'll go straight into the car folder. Is this the first game that you've modded (just trying to gauge how computer literate you are). AC can be quite overwhelming to begin with but once you know it is actually one of the easiest modding games out there.

Yes that I have learned that anything labeled CONTENT goes straight in the "assettocorsa" folder. I like those, they are simple. And I do know about the files labeled for a specific car or track but it's sometimes how far you have to go to eventually get to those that confuses me.

I got my gaming PC in July 2023 and yes AC is the first time I've ever tried a game that you can mod. I also have AMS2 but it's Content Manager is a little easier to deal with. Download a mod file, put it in "Enabled", run AMS2 CM, and most of the time it works. I don't have to go looking for sub folders to get to the root folder you're supposed to install.

But when it comes to attempting something like this:

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = porte G paint int, porte D paint int
MOVE_TO = COCKPIT_HR

There's no way I would try that. You're talking about digging way deep into files and I'm certainly not confident about doing that.

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my directions. All my mods are setup to drag them into the root 'assettocorsa' directory. The reason I mentioned it goes in the Spa_2022 folder was so people would know which version of the Pyyer files to download.

To clear things up for you, here's the exact directions you need to follow:

1.) Install the Spa_2022 track by dragging the contents folder into the root 'assettocorsa' folder.

2.) Manually install the Pyyer extensions into the newly created spa_2022 folder. And when I say manually, don't just drag his files into the root 'assettocorsa' folder or they won't get placed in the right location. Navigate through his .zip file until you get to where all the files are located. The common, layout, ui folders, etc. Drag all of those into the spa_2022 folder.

3.) Download the appropriate updated Pyyer files I provided and drag the contents folder directly into the root 'asettocorsa' folder and overwrite anything it asks.

So there are two Pyyer files to install, his and yours. I did not know that. I believe his zip file comes up as CONTENT when you open it up. But you're saying you have to dig deeper into it to find those individual files you listed? Then install your Pyyer files.

Since I've already got the track installed hopefully now that I know there are two files to install hopefully I can get it fixed.

It can easily be ported over to the stock track if people are interested.

@Jezza819 Yes, you need his original extensions first. I can't provide his entire extension package because it's only available to paid patreon members. I can only provide the handful of files I need to edit to get the mesh names correct so they work with my version of the track. That's why you need to install his stuff first and then overwrite his files with the ones I had to edit.

Deleting them is no option, but i will look at the ARB settings and why it causes this issue. 👍

Since there are a ton of Spa mods out there, I can't provide an ext_config file or it will overwrite one you might already have. So you will have to do a little leg work yourself to get this installed. First, you will need to have an extension folder in your Spa track directory. If you already do, then that means you already have an ext_config file which makes this easier. If you do, copy and paste the code below to the bottom of your current ext_config file. Then download the attached file and extract it to the root assettocorsa folder.

;;;;; CABLES ;;;;;

[MODEL_REPLACEMENT_...]
HIDE=electric
FILE=spa.kn5
INSERT=spa_wires.kn5
INSERT_AFTER=Object799_SUB2

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION= fixing fat and jagged power cables
MESHES = wires01, wires02
BLEND_MODE = ALPHA_BLEND
IS_TRANSPARENT = 1
CAST_SHADOWS= 1
PROP_... = ksAlphaRef, 0.5
PROP_... = extExtraSharpLocalReflections, 0.0

If you don't already have an extension folder, you will have to create one, then copy and paste the code above to a text document and save it as an ext_config.ini file in the extension folder.

Thanks man. I don`t know what cosequences it has deleting the ARB Settings, but indeed the car is working now on CSP 179. How did you find out?

 

[Perico Lospa]

And now, the round of comments before I go to sleep...

... I can solve the problem experienced in viper by deleting the arb front and arb rear parameters...

I reaffirm myself: this forum is a well of wisdom. @yavuzazgin, thank you very much for sharing your discovery, I have finally been able to drive the Viper; your solution will serve as a temporary fix for 0.1.79 CSP users until DaWallace fixes it permanently.

Thanks man. I don`t know what cosequences it has deleting the ARB Settings, but indeed the car is working now on CSP 179. How did you find out?

Yeah, how did you find out, @yavuzazgin?

... There's no way I would try that. You're talking about digging way deep into files and I'm certainly not confident about doing that...

The best advice someone gave me a long time ago about entangle with AC files is, before doing anything, to make a copy of the mod you want to mess with and keep it safe. This way, in case of disaster, you can always return to the starting point.

I think this track lacks some roughness on the asphalt, you can't feel anything, it's too smooth, don't you think?

EDIT: Doh! and thanks for the addon... 😅

... First...

We will never thank you enough for your patience and collaboration for others... Thanks for share. 😃

I don't know if you used the newest version, because the Vertigo got a new sound (new sound since v3.5, newest version is v3.6) and it is all OK. No cutting of rev range at the outside and internal sound is even OK. checked it again few minutes before i wrote this answer. 🤷‍♀️ 🤔



Yeah, this was mentioned before. forgot to fix this.😑 will fix this with next update.

Oh awesome! My bad I didnt know you already had a 3.6 update. I appreciate your work man you've given us a whole new generation of high quality gt3/gt2 cars

Edit: Just did a clean install of the 3.6 vertigo, im still getting the same audio issue. It's only with the exterior audio, if I manually lower the rpm limit to 96% then it sounds perfect, but for some reason that last 4 percent causes the audio to cut out for me. I have had one other issue with a car's audio screwing up this week so maybe it's an issue on my end. (csp 2.5 preview/Sol 2.5)

I will change the sound of the Vertigo again. I'm not really happy with the current sound. 🤔

Is it normal if content manager propose me a 1.6 version for the viper ?
When i use you'r megaupload link, the car is still 1.0.

1.6 is the most current version, definitely the one I'd recommend. You can get the most up to date mega pack from his discord page (1.1)

The question is to what exactly? The 3L Alfa V6 or the Maserati V8?

I don't understand why some people get the spline error... If anyone understands this, please write.

For those for whom the Viper does not work, I have created a new data.acd to test if i fixed it. Simply copy and replace this data.acd in the viper car folder -> assetto corsa/content/cars/dw_dodge_viper_competition_coupe

Let me know if this works for you.

What kind of problems you have? For me it is working as usual.

Plenty. AI not pitting in various events, AI turning into the pitlane wall on starts, and many more.

The absolute worst one, though, is the fact that the app is not supposed to activate unless you're in single player race or weekend - but due to it being broken by a CSP change, indeed activates every time you enter any session. Worse, the radio button to disable/enable the surfaces.ini change is broken. Hitting the "disable/enable" toggle and restarting has no effect almost every time I use it.

This means that every time I enter an online event, my surface.ini gets changed. For my league events, for example, that means with his app installed, I can join the open practice on race day, leave to eat, rejoin for quali, and get checksum kicked. For public servers, it means that I can be permanently locked out - I had to recently get a Spa surfaces.ini from RMi here last week, and had to pull my backup of Vallelunga as well. Extremely annoying.

There's a new app version released today, I'll take a look, but the negatives far outweigh the positives at the moment. It works in single player, sometimes - and far less than on previous CSP versions - but at the cost of going to war with the app when it comes to online.

I uninstalled this app and will likely keep it so until I see a changelog that addresses the issue. I'm appreciative of his work and it is undoubtedly the baseline for many AI behaviors in AC for the future, but it's got quite a ways to go.

Agree, installed NV SD 560.70 and running smooth(er). @Peter Boese ; many thanks for pointing me/us in that direction!

And, for those using NVidiaInspector like myself; seems there's an extended (forked) version available with way more settings (especially for RTX I believe); Link NVInspector v 2.4.2.3 (Modified). Although me using a GTX 1060 6G (I know, not the best, but still 'good' enough for AC), it helped me in getting improved AA with some enhanced settings.

Hello, hope you're all doing well.

This topic kept me 'busy' in a sense that I tried exploring further possibilities on the NVidia driver front.
Been able installing the Quadro variant of NVidia driver (NV560.76) on my GTX 1060 6G yesterday (Yes, with hack this is possible).

Not completely sure yet (am testing), but this Quadro one seems even slightly better than previously installes SD 560.70.
(Quadro drivers are/were supposed to generate enhanced colors due to 10bit, but many say this is just placebo/snake-oil)
Anyway, keepers for now. Just to let you know. Some might find this useful, like myself.

Have a good day all.

 

[xezez]

DaWallace, you've hit it out the park once again with the Viper! Thank you very much for this and all the other updates. Your cars consistently rate among my most regularly driven favourites. In fact, the Exige GT2 almost needs a full rebuild now due to the high mileage I've put on it!

Cheers and big thanks, once again, for your great work.

I find this quite a fascinating discovery. Being in the architecture industry I know that Autodesk recommends the Quadro cards for their software, particularly Revit, and I have always found them to overpriced and seriously underperforming. So I find it interesting that you can get extra performance from their drivers.

I've had to convince a few companies over the years that, despite what Autodesk tells you, a "gaming" PC offers far superior performance and speed when working with 3d programs than a workstation does, and the Quadro cards were as useful as door stops as they were graphics cards. 🤣
