Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

yes that is a major pain , esp in VR it can be quite immersion breaking.

You can alter the reflective properties of any material, with extension code , play around with it :

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...] ;improve carbon
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS = name_of_material_here
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.13
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.08
PROP_... = ksSpecular, 0.5
PROP_... = ksSpecularEXP, 180
PROP_... = fresnelMaxLevel, 0.05 ;esp this one , lower is less reflection
PROP_... = fresnelEXP, 40
PROP_... = fresnelC, 0.01 ;esp this one , lower is less reflection
PROP_... = useDetail, 100
PROP_... = detailUVMultiplier, 14
PROP_... = detailNormalBlend, 1
DOUBLE_FACE_SHADOW_BIASED = 1

BUT if the material is chrome , it SHOULD reflect... but it should be made impossible to see the curb reflection from inside the car as it should be consealed by the car chassis and doorpanels ...

So anyone has a neat trick to force that via extension? (I guess that is a fault of the creator , and needs to be dealt w in 3D program, and can't be fixed w simple extension code?)


no , when I resized it w Gimp it was all good ...

the resulting dds looked very weird after having it being converted by XnConvert ...
View attachment 1443883
also attached the resulting DDS (remove .txt) , maybe someone can figure out what happened?

The original dds looked like :
View attachment 1443885 (and can be found in the original post if you wanna download it)

It would be good to know the case in which NOT to rely on XnConvert (esp when doing batch resizing , it could be dangerous to loose stuff - if you don't backup first that is)

Thank you jac0 and Perico Lospa for the help,
Going from your feedback, I've been able to tweak some settings in ext_config files which are slowly but surely minimizing the issue.
Thank you for that ^^

The only other question I have is regarding the reflections on other cars I am racing.
I've noticed that when driving on kerbs, the relections of said kerbs will be projected onto other cars. Almost as if the cubemap generated from the P.o.v. of my car is shared with other cars. (very noticeable on Spa)

To give a concrete in-game example: If I'm chasing another car and happen to ride over kerbs, the reflections of these kerbs will be projected onto my car, but the other car that is 20 metres away will also reflect these same kerbs (as if they were riding the kerbs as well), when in fact the car is not riding the kerbs and is in the middle of the road.

My guess is that the relfections cubemap from my car is also used for AI cars, which sometimes creates a weird effect.
Is this a setting I can change, or is it due to something else?

Cheers and thanks again

Wow chatgpt/sora is insane.
I reckon its not too far off being able to mod using this....

Then i asked for just a body shell..............

But have you tried to simply ask the AI to produce a FBX of the output?

 

[Perico Lospa]

Thank you jac0 and Perico Lospa for the help...

Naaaah, a pleasure to help you with whatever little I know, just as others have helped me before.

I'm sorry I can't help you with this other problem you mentioned, although it reminds me of something similar I've been having for some time now: when a cloud of dust rises when driving off the asphalt, the cloud appears with subtle red or green tones if it forms over a piano or grass, as if reflecting the color of the ground. Weird...

Anyone have any idea about this "gt_monaco_vintage" that appeared on Breathe's list?

gt_monaco_vintage

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

What is it? Is it a conversion/scratch made? Who's the author? Is this an iteration on an earlier version?

Maybe someone else who reads the thread might know, or actually worked on it themselves.



While I'm on the subject, anyone well versed in track modding (from Reboot Team or otherwise) who reads the thread, please send me a PM if you have the time, as I'm still determined to fix the issues with Yas Marina from my last post. I've gotten to the point where I have everything open in FBX, but cannot move or manipulate the timing element "boxes" that kseditor produces.

I'd ask on assettocorsamods.net, but as this Yas is a conversion, they'd probably (figuratively) tar and feather me and piss on my head if I brought up the project.

Cheers.

I tried that once and it didn't work, wouldn't give me a file, but I'm curious to see if others manage it.

I've compared it with other Monaco's and it's based on Legion's (monaco_faux_vintage).
There are identical files (dates and sizes).
But I have no information about the author of this update.

 

[timetoo22]

I'd be interested to see your prompts if you don't mind sharing them.
Of course it will only become viable once we can get it understand that once we have something we like it must only change what we ask to be changed in revision or next request, and not keep changing the front and rear spoiler shapes and adding and removing vents etc randomly with each new image generated.
The image quality is already astounding!

OK so this one.
'Alfa Romeo 75 aggressive body kit like Group 5 red with number 75 on door in modern garage'

Remember here i have spent ages learning how to do stuff like this in blender, and then using AC to bring stuff 'to life'...
Then AI comes along and ...

I mean you'd still have to work to get it into a game like AC, but for just rendering car shots..... its there.

Yeah. I'm 100% in agreement with you on that. AI is going to turn what little bit of brains the human race has left to mush... and totally screw the enviroment along the way for good measure.

This track consists of an rFactor1 version and an rFactor2 version.
The base International/National layout was converted from the rFactor1 version.
Converted and combined parts of the Enduro layout from the rFactor2 version.
The reason I didn't convert everything from the rFactor2 version is because the wall billboards on the walls were omitted.

Well its an opinion, a pathetic one IMO though. We've been destroying trees since Neanderthals first ripped them down to make fires and shelters. It didn't start with AI....
We are a destructive species and it will never change, the damage to the planet from EV production is shocking considering people drive around in them like they are planet saviours....
But fine whatever, i posted 3 pictures in a massive thread. I won't do it again boss....

hi all,
probably y'all know this already but I just figured this out
to disable the default (virtual) starting lights
all you need to do is replace off.dds in content\textures with a dds file that is blank(totally transparent)...

(as most tracks now have actual starting lights incorporated, and the fake ones are breaking immersion for me)

download (includes a backup of the original in case you wanna reverse the change).

EDIT : for the Dodge Coronet Super Bee Hemi ,
it's quite nice , but internal chrome gives those unreal reflections ...
as a workaround I toned down the reflection of the chrome on interior.

I also did the following:
changed sound (didn't have external sound)
increased steering wheel ratio
fixed driver head being visible in 1st person view
fixed taillights and made brakelights more visible

DOWNLOAD (repacked car , original by Smallblockhero + updates by Didier Bestard + my fixes)

QUESTION to the guru's here:
the car apparantly doesn't colide on the red colider box (which we can change easily), but instead on this:

is there a way to change that one?

Also if anyone knows how to keep the chrome but not have it reflect curbs etc.(as they are not supposed to be reflecting on the inside of the car) ?

Lastly , if someone can make the CSP wipers and rainfx work, then this is a mighty fine vintage muscle car mod for AC imho.

EDIT2: I also added smoke, and crew colors to the skins (and I had to make the purple skin a chameleon one with my face ofcourse ) But that will be for v0.9 when I get the working wipers and rainfx from someone to incorporate
Also if anyone can pass a fix for the collider, I will incorporate that and share it as a v1.0 at that time
(after which ACTK can post it as v1.0.1 in his garage with added LODS and cockpitHR for all to enjoy)

If managed properly, you can't really destroy a tree. It will grow back up and be even better than the one you cut down. It's basically an infinitely renewable resource. Not even AI-driven.

Even fossil fuel is theoretically renewable, only it takes so many millions of years to replenish, that we short sighted humans aren't able to manage it properly, we're overspending. Bigtime. An AI, on the other hand...

Happy Easter holidays, time for deep, philosophical discussions and thoughts. 😖

We're somewhat limited by the way the starting light overlay is illuminated, but I went in a different direction a few years ago and swapped in a different traffic light texture, and made the start lights larger.
(The curvature is due to capturing the image in my VR headset)

Hi guys, a question, does anyone know why I had put a package to run with traffic, where I also had trucks, and now I always find myself only with BMW and Alfa?

It's not the first time it happens to me..

Is there a package already complete made by someone, to have a more varied traffic? Or are they just paid mods?

Thanks guys and happy Easter Eve

Checked ACTK update on updated Dodge SuperBee. It could be an ideal version, but it isn't.
He did fine job updating lods, wipers and colliders, but for some reason car was again left with old nasty physics (tires, engine, suspension).
When i put AW physics update data on his version it breaks mirrors, lods, colliders and maybe something else.
