Sadly, this is kind of what I meant by "wild goose chase" searches, since the mod this video description appears to link to is to a site that is either dead or otherwise somehow inaccessible to me.

EDIT: unless this is the same one

Yes, there are two links to the car in the video. One is dead, that's the other. It's quite an old mod, so it looks like some of the links there have expired.
Fortunately the link to the lights update still works.

For another link, try here. Grab the skins and update from that video though.

There are a few, this one would just need a roll cage and a few other tweaks. I try to practice in my free time but don't have the skills yet to change those things. I will still continue to try to learn what I can in meantime though and appreciate what is already available.

And here is the skin

Shame the driver's hands look like they've been fed through a garbage disposal. Anyone got a fixed version, maybe with a shifting animation too?
(and wipers)
(and LODs)

And here is the skin

Cool, that's a nice bit of progress, and I'm willing to suspend a bit of disbelief about a lack of roll cage / presence of bumpers / etc. if it's a WIP and drives well enough. I don't drive with visible hands on the wheel, either, so that's one less thing for me to worry about (though that's something someone should get around to fixing, sure).
 
I must be asking something that is incredibly un-knowable, or I did something that makes everyone ignore my query, on this site and elsewhere.

I am trying to do the 3 liveries for the Peugeot 905. It requires that each skin have its own indicator light (centered below the windshield) in a different color. I can do all this (in the pic), and have done this by adjusting lights.ini and changing the glass color using a different colored texture. I use 3 separate iterations of the car and all is well.
But I should be able to make those same changes on the fly, using an external config (ext_config.ini) in each skin directory shouldn't I? I'm doing it that way to have a front-winged and a non-front-winged skin, so why not the lights?

lights.ini says:

[LIGHT_4]
NAME=peu_3_905evo_93_lod0_body_textured_reflector_ ; hood indicator light - this works
COLOR=60,5,5 ; final to be 60,5,5

My simple perception says I should be able to use the same code in the ext_config.ini to override that color but I don't understand how to package it there. I believe this is my problem. (I have programmed in C and assembler back in the 6502/68020 days, but my brain is probably 50% of what it was then and my auto-understanding of iNipp is failing me ;)

The same code in ext_config.ini doesn't change anything. If I take the statement out of lights.in and put it in ext_config.ini, nothing happens. I suspect I need to include something else, but what?

If no-one can help me on this, I can't really make everyone create 3 separate versions of the car so they can use the 3 skins... But I will accept this failure and do that for myself, and move on.

Come on gang. What am I missing? Teach me to fish :) (I will fill your plate endlessly!)

But I'll keep doing what I can :) I slapped these 3 skins together from existing skins, for the Mac 10 car... or the ACTK car, or the Mac10 car with the ACTK data (to get the wipers)... I forget which :) If you want the license plates, delete the ext_config.ini in the skins folder.

EDIT: (pared skins down to just the 3)

You can't copy and paste the lights.ini code into ext_config, they are different. The extension config is detailed here in great depth even though a lot is still missing https://github.com/ac-custom-shaders-patch/acc-extension-config/wiki

Have a look around the emissive sections and also scour over some premade configs for cars in here https://github.com/ac-custom-shaders-patch/acc-extension-config/tree/master/config/cars/kunos

Thanks norms... I have been pouring over all the github stuff, but nowhere does it make an explicit distinction between lights.ini and ext_config.ini and what's different. That would be too easy. There doesn't seem to be any reference to ext_config.ini at all. I will dig through those cars though. (notable that they are all loaded/.ini type files, not ext_config.ini) Hadn't found anything in all the other cars I looked at. I'm just a bit burned out looking. I will commence again tomorrow.

I will fix all those little bits. Be exact on all the changes you need please.

UPDATE: Guess I should have looked to see that it's encrypted. Stupid as we now sit with something that is half correct.

EDIT: unless this is the same one, and even then, I'm getting an error trying to download it based on some adfly trickery
I thought I'd let you get it all out of your system. Is this the car you're looking for?


we need to find this model - dw_nissan_skyline_c10. can anyone share it please? I can update from there.

you can find one here : https://www.mediafire.com/file/rj61a5bqg5t6wmx/bmw_e46_m3_CSL.rar/file

don't know where it was from originally
I added some skins myself, but it's only 4 star in my book , as it lacks a digital instruments.ini file
Anyone knows how to create one (to show current gear) ?
Not the best but it exists :

Thanks chaps I really appreciate it 👍

I think the car from jac0 is just a bit more interesting to drive both under braking and out of corners especially with traction off, I thank you both for taking the time to post the links for me.
 
Note that when I selected one car to download, I got 16 cars... (about 1.8 GB). (1 or 2 more than shown here)
Plenty of Japanese oddities and older cars from here.

https://ac.totsugeki.com/

Tons of cars to go through, most links work and a nicely curated site with info on each car. Got some cracking cars from here so far.

Damn this is cool. Looking forward to this.

Any chances of getting the new turn 10 using the assets from Moto GP or is that not feasible given the timeframe?
 
"If you don't like it, make one yourself" is easier said than done, and "be thankful for what you've got" makes for a better song than a way to improve things. Believe me, if this was the kind of hobby I could commit an extra 30 hours a week to just so I can learn how to make a computer car seem more like the historically detailed mods I remember people used to regularly make for older, less popular games, that's what I'd be doing instead of just venting here. (Seriously, I looked at A&M / brotto marco's modding manual upthread and came to the conclusion it would be easier for me to build an actual Caterham in my garage.) I'm glad there are some people out there who actually are putting in the time and the work to get things right, but those aren't the people I'm complaining about.

The problem is that there are modders who have already done the studying themselves, who do know how to make detailed mods, who put dozens if not hundreds of hours into a project for the most-played and most-widespread moddable racing sim since rFactor if not of all time -- and the end result is a frankencar that is somehow less true-to-life than its equivalent from a "simcade" like Forza or GT. Talented and hardworking they might be, but they're still overlooking or glossing over things that a previous generation of modders, who also put out their work for free, actually paid close attention to in order to make our goofy little "lookit me, I'm Mark Donohue / Ayrton Senna / Colin McRae" dreams come at least virtually true. I don't need to be a Michelin chef to be disappointed when I'm served a meal that tastes weird or gives me bathroom agony, and I don't need to be Pessio to look at a rip from another game, complete with Zipanol livery, and wonder if it's even partway committed to replicating the driving experience. Literally every message board I've read asking for car mod recommendations comes with at least a couple comments saying "just stick to RaceDepartment, everything else is trash," and it doesn't have to be this way.
Not my thing usually to dive into those sort of argument if it is not just for personal fun, but like I said, It is not about you really, more about the recent and quite more and more frequent vibe of "what others do is trash" thing. At start it's a "meh okay then, who cares" but when it quite flood the feed it becomes annoying. My apologies for the tone, it was harsher than it should have been.

Like @Rodger Davies said, about that particular Skyline from Bazza, it was kind of the point of it being "semi-fictional", sort of a What if. If this specific car is a "missing spot" in the field of known mods, well it's a miss, but it is also an opportunity on the positive side. And look, there is already a page worth of people who wants it to happen... :cheers: Not my Cup of tea to replicate historic skins, but I can help too.
 
I don't know (haven't looked it up) how often and how much it rains in Dubai but I'm pretty sure that if there were any puddles at all they would only be on the track surface. It might be a personal preference but I prefer to not have puddles on grass, sand, vertical/banked surfaces like mountains or curbs. I see more and more of these inaccurate RainFX configs being published lately - Ozarks International, VRC Alabama on RD that I fixed for the "author", ...
