Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Masscot]

a plea to all modders : please make it a habit of setting extra A for Ignition and extra B for START ENGINE ...

For those of us who have button boxes ( like the PXN CB1 ) so that it is kinda universal workin across all mods ...
It is kinda dumb to have to press the ENGINE Start button to open a window for example

It would be even better if ignition and start would become seperate functions and not be linked to EXTRA's at all ... but that is up to Ilya then I guess...

Just edit the config, only takes two minutes.
But yeah, it'd be good if a standard approach was taken for things like this.

there are so many things which need a standard....

for example skin folder names

 

[Masscot]

It's certainly the best we've got in AC, but hopefully Fenryr will add the missing layouts and the missing pylons by 1.0. The jumbotron camera positions are a little weird too, they don't really show the action.



MotorLand Aragón's not always a dust bowl either, so hopefully somebody will do a lush green rainy season skin for it like they did for Laguna Seca.
All that beige makes me thirsty.

It would be great if someone could make cameras for this!

Is fenryr converting tracks from motogp games do you think? As there are a fair few great track in them games that assetto could benefit from?

I thought it might be from R3E, but not sure.
But yeah, there are a bunch of tracks (real and fictional) from Moto GP games that would be awesome.
I think @RMi_wood has tried extraction from a few with no success... so far.

 

[StoffelWaffle]

There are no fictional tracks in the MogoGP series

Also I had another version of Aragon with lost of layouts but the visuals suck massive ass

 

[Fall Guy]

I think Fenryr already confirmed on his discord he will do the rest of the layouts at Aragon.

 

[Masscot]

Has he said where it was ported from?

 

[StoffelWaffle]

If Fenryr has found a way to port tracks from the MGP games yeah that's a feat. I'd looove to see a proper version of Assen.

O that is great , so how would I go about doing that?

for example for the Citroen AX Proto GTI by ACTK ,
it currently has :
EXTRA A: **** anim
EXTRA B: Enabled secondary lights
EXTRA C: Fog lights
EXTRA D: Open door left
EXTRA E: Open door right
EXTRA F: Neon (skin Jacky Tuning)

How do I change EXTRA A to Ignition on/off and EXTRA B to Engine Start?

(Or you mean it takes only 2 min when there is already an option for Ignition and Engine Start but mapped to another EXTRA slot? That I would be able to do ... )

Fenryr did mention in his discord making a more up too date mugello , and i noticed that the motogp games have a mugello .

 

[delpinsky]

Since you're here...
The Blancpain_Numberplate_Pro_Colour.dds in the Nissan GT-R doesn't add the rear class plate to the model.
Sideplates are fine though.

Do you think I should just paste the rear plates directly on the skins?

The class plate is just "cosmetic", it's not a mesh in ACC. Therefore you will see it painted on the GTWC skins.

Is there another config for the start sequence? Anything in unpacked data?
Sorry, don't have that car, but it'll be in there somewhere.

Thanks for the info.

We were bored so here's a very, very quick 'wet season' selectable skin for Fenryr's MotorLand Aragón to de-beige everything if you fancy a change.
The folder also includes fixes for the powerlines and fences (thins them out, which we like) and adds two FOUR missing pylons. Or maybe they were invisible. Who knows.
Specular on foliage is also fixed, it won't glow like uranium any more.
Oh, replay cams added too, auto-generated according to @RMi_wood. Sounds suspicious.

BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL ARAGON TRACK FOLDER FIRST, you'll be overwriting some stuff.

@RMi_wood and @Breathe are to blame if your PC catches fire and/or your pants fall down.

actually 4 tower pylons, but who's counting

Oops! Edited. Get on with those jumbotrons!

Use Extended Control app and change it to whatever you like!

 

[SuperSportX]

Finally completed the sound mods for the F1 LM, GT-ONE, Panoz (Will do a slightly tweaked second version for the race car) and recently finished one for the XJ220S as the XJ220S mod I was using had a weird sample and didn't sound neither right or wrong if that makes sense:






The Panoz and F1 LM both use completely new samples from last time as they are now in stereo and the Panoz had to be redone from scratch since I accidentally overwrote and deleted the entire soundbank of the Panoz the same day I completed the first version.

The shift sound for the Panoz can be silenced via the extension file and same for the F1 LM but it was added mainly for the LM and GTR as there was silence between shifts. Also added one for the GTR but will post that one abit later as it will be it's own standalone as it will convert the regular GTR to SuperSport spec, along with new skins as I will create more for it aswell to give it variety.

The completed mods will only be the car sounds themselves and optional tweaked data files as I had to tweak some of the cars to be more controller friendly as I believe they were created with steering wheels in mind; links to the actual cars themselves will be posted along with the sound mods once released as I want to do it fairly soon.

Just to say thanks much mate for your input & KN5 timer file. I did as you recommended using your file & it worked a treat.
Rabbit Field is so much more fun to race the AI now as Turn i is not a smash fest anymore.

You're welcome.
Would you share your AI lines for others?

I am working on some camtool cams for it but it is going to take me a while. I am also going to look at the config as the trees are more gray than they are green.

 

[Gabriele]

Hi, its possible to adapt a skin made for one car to another, different but very similar one? Is it difficult to do? Thanks in advance.

Absolutely . i will upload it as soon as get back onto my PC

Sometimes.
Sometimes the different mods are based on the same model and same AO. Those come over quite easily.
Sometimes the AO has been redone and is rotated or resized. Those need a bit of editing but are possible.
Sometimes the model and the AO are different. Mostly these are “start again”.
Maybe the decals are good enough quality to match your intended output, and you can use them.
Not often though, and also, someone else’s work. Careful now
Whatever you do, don’t forget to credit if you share. Lest the credit-police come for you 😊

Here is my created fast lane for Rabbit Field & also AI Hints file. Please bear with me, im a newby at this.

... Specular on foliage is also fixed, it won't glow like uranium any more...

Indeed, yes, since updating to the latest versions, I've noticed that the gardener they have hired at CSP and Pure must be watering the lawns with water from Chernobyl, given the shine of the grass on some tracks...

As racinjoe013 told me, to reduce that shine you have to leave the "light.sun.speculars" slider almost at 0 in the Pure settings, but sometimes that's not enough on some tracks...

I suppose the solution involves messing too with the config.ini file in every specific track... If so, would you be so kind as to tell me (explained for dummies) which parameters I need to change, please?

And while we're at it, what parameter needs to be adjusted to darken (if it can be done easily changing something in config) the color of the grass?

Thanks...

If you look at the end of the revised config I uploaded for Aragon yesterday, the final entry is...

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
DESCRIPTION=anti-glow foliage
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS = shader:ksTree
PROP_...=ksSpecular, 0

...which is a catch-all to adjust everything that uses the ksTree shader (ie all foliage, if the track is set up properly) to have ksSpecular value of zero.
You can add other individual materials directly by name (without the shader: prefix), by separating them with commas, or create a whole new [SHADER_REPLACEMENT] section to fine-tune individual materials.
Different properties can be added, eg to darken the grass use

PROP_...=ksAmbient, X

(where X is the value you want... try 0.2 for example, original value might be around 0.4, but experiment or check the original value in object inspector).
Other values like ksDiffuse can be altered in a similar way.

Or, you can create a skin and edit the actual textures for saturation, brightness etc, but you can't alter things like Specular that way, which was the original problem with the Aragon foliage.
