Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[A_M]

will you release the alfa grand prix car?

yes, for free. But no pressure please lol

EDIT (31.03.23): actually you know what? No, I won't release it, I would hate it to be re-published on AssettoLand and edited by people who post pirated content in their DMs! And I prefer that nobody resells it for any price.

Not that I believe my mod is worth anything, it's just that I don't want to feed those beasts .

An accurate mod for AC, with OEM data, licences and everything properly (legally) done can cost more than a thousand euros. The model around 100-200€, but that's still a decent sum of money.

Encryption is useless! and goes against my open-source ethics.

But even if I do not have OEM data for the P2 and the physics come from my own understanding of cars' dynamics, that Alfa is my work and I wouldn't like people to tamper with it; as a consequence, none of my mods will be public. So I avoid the encryption argument, too.
Maybe I'll post a different mod, like a conversion with a free, not ripped model, just for the people who need to learn.
Considering that in my manual there's info on how to create a quality car mod, that last part is probably not even necessary.

Hopefully this closes the question. I learned a lot and I know that there are different kinds of people in the AC community. I was too naive before.

Because you own us a 60s Sebring haha

They will if you don't pull your finger out. The hitman is already on standby.
😉

Can you call the Hitman off now? It's only a year late but we're almost done!





To be fair, I have been buy with other stuff too.

 

[Paintbox]

Many thanks man. Really appreciated. So the tags themselves are a property of each car? those cannot be shared also?

Yeah that is correct, it was pretty long task initially but once done adding new cars a quick process of adding a tag alongside it. I don't think it's possible to automate the predetermine what decade corresponds to each car and I think only way to share would be to upload every car ui file from my content folder which would be unrealistic.

Worth the effort in the long run though as not only I can have more options to make it easier finding a car to drive, it is much more enjoyable sorting out AI opponents as they come under the tags after adding these shown below.

 

[Stupornaut]

Does anyone have a link to GTSupreme's Ordos circuit? The site's asking me to log in but that doesn't even work. It just redirects me to a page with the word "REGISTER" on it, a sharing widget, and nothing else. (I've tried in two different browsers without AdBlock.)

I know you can never say this sort of thing with a bad case of AC mod addiction, but I do believe when this 60s Sebring, the Castle Combe being worked on by the guy who made the excellent Thruxton, and Zwiss’s Crystal Palace are released, my desired track collection will be complete. Always happy to be surprised by things like Bryar though.

 

[kakauiyt]

I don´t know if it´s just for me but all cars except the Mercedes powered ones have no sound.

As you said, the rear end of the cars are a little bit on the lighter side but still fun to drive!

I know I missed to change the lotus and hrt sound but the sound engine for the other cars works. People confirmed it.

Check the SFX folder if the sound bank is correctly named and that the GUID.txt looks correct

Hi All,

I am looking for a solution to adjust some mod cars headlights which are blinding bright. If anyone have an idea I really appreciate the help.

Thanks in Advance

This app can modify the car's and track's lights:

BLM Lights

In order to use the app you MUST have the Custom Shaders Patch installed Settings (content manager > settings > apps > BLM Lights): If you want to build lights for tracks or make changes, choose one of the DEVELOPER styles With Presets...

Yes, I put it into the extension config and it works like a charm.

Since I couldn't find anything, here are my basic rainfx for Montreal:

[RAIN_FX]
PUDDLES_MATERIALS = groove, ROADA, RDABD, RDILCS, ROADB, CONCPITS,
SOAKING_MATERIALS = groove, ROADA, RDABD, RDILCS, ROADB, CONCPITS,
SMOOTH_MATERIALS =
ROUGH_MATERIALS =
LINES_MATERIALS =

@Cozy61 once taught me that grooves should not be listed in puddles/soaking. So here's my config but let's see what @CrisT86 comes up with:

[RAIN_FX]
PUDDLES_MATERIALS = ROAD?, CONCPITS, RDILCS, CMWALLA, RDABD, ROWING_GSTANDS_?
SOAKING_MATERIALS = ROAD?, CONCPITS, RDILCS, CMWALLA, RDABD, CONILRED, RMBFGA, RMBLA, TWALLL, TENTROOF, TENTWAL, FOOTBRIDGEA, RMBLG, RUNOFFG, FOOTBRIDGEC, ROWING_GSTANDS_?, CONCWHITE, CONCBEIGE
SMOOTH_MATERIALS =
ROUGH_MATERIALS = GRASS?, PAVGSTAND, TREES?, CRETEG
LINES_MATERIALS = ROADLINE

[GRASS_FX]
GRASS_MATERIALS = GRASSA
OCCLUDING_MATERIALS = ROAD?, CONILRED, ROADLINE
OCCLUDING_MATERIALS_ALPHA = ROADVERGE
ORIGINAL_GRASS_MATERIALS = GRASSBLADE

TEXTURE =  grass_fx/highlands.dds   ; located next to config file; if not found there, patch would look in its textures folder
TEXTURE_GRID = 8, 3                 ; columns and rows

MASK_MAIN_THRESHOLD = 0.2  ; how saturated (with green) should the surface be (not real saturation, could be more than 1)
MASK_RED_THRESHOLD = 0.05  ; offsets target color from green to yellow and red, if set high enough
MASK_MIN_LUMINANCE = 0.02  ; minimum luminance to spawn grass on
MASK_MAX_LUMINANCE = 0.35  ; maximum luminance

SHAPE_SIZE = 1.0   ; general size
SHAPE_TIDY = 0.0   ; how tidy grass is (untidy grass in uneven, tilted more)
SHAPE_CUT = 0.0    ; how cut grass is
SHAPE_WIDTH = 1.0  ; grass width relative to its height

Does anyone know of an existing track that has a digital leaderboard that displays the running order with the car's number, not driver initials? RMi suggested Charlotte a few pages back, but that displays name\initials, not number. I need to see how you write the .lua for the car number.

Thanks...

Canada 2021 (i.e. the ACU Codemasters version) might look prettier, but the Montreal track by Terra21 (Automobilista conversion) is without a doubt the much more accurate track! Drive both versions, compare both to real onboard videos (speed, steering input, pause at tight sections) and then you will notice how hilariously bad and inaccurate the Codemasters track is (but that's nothing new unfortunately).

You can find the biggest differences from turns 3 to 9 (basically the whole back straight section) and in the final chicane (13 and 14).
Terra's version just feels right, the chicanes are tight and the track itself is pretty narrow (just like in real life).
The Codemasters version is too wide in general and this also means that the corners/chicanes are too wide as well.

Track too wide => corners aren't tight enough => you need to brake and steer less compared to real ife => unrealistic speeds in certain corners/chicanes.

I was talking to @Pyyer about this in September 2021 and he completely agreed with me, the Terra21 version is the better and more accurate track.

I really, really hope that Pyyer is using the Terra version as the base for his next extension update.
This is the perfect opportunity to finally get rid of another inaccurate Codemasters track!
Another texture update won't make the ACU version any more accurate.
Using the time to visually improve the Automobilista / Terra21 version would be a much better choice.
I think the majority of the community isn't even aware that there's a much better Montreal version out there!

a much needed visual update for the Terra21 one and we have an amazing version compared to ACU's one. Might do a quick texture revamp myself if needed. Also, wanna change those ugly walls changing sponsors every sec

And here we go again, still another evolution from the "marc_13000+ACU" conversion. Why does no one work on the terra21 instead?

@Pyyer which Canada track will you use for your extension?

And the answer is..........
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Terra 21 version ! 😉

 

[Valexdrift]

Yes ! Long overdue in AC. It's funny that one of the most... Bizarre car wasn't ported to AC before. Guess people wanted their 6557th 911 or M3 mod over it lol

I gues t
hey LOVE their BMW Ms or Audi rs's and amg's

You could drop this ext_config.ini into each skin folder or the car's extension folder to apply the Kunos shader values globally instead of manipulating the kn5 via CM showroom. This will obviously only work in the new showroom and on track though...

Thank you for sharing, I also hope that @CrisT86 will find the time, the nightlights are not so great at the track at the moment.
Your grassfx settings got rid of those stupid yellow flowers that were growing on my lawn next to the racetrack :-)

Yeah, I borked my installation several weeks ago while trying to get it to work. Reinstalled and now can't get a free licence either.
Please let me know if you find a solution - it's a very useful tool while modders continue to release LOD-free mods.

 

[Friedhelm]

To be fair, I have been buy with other stuff too.

Area 27!!! And so well-made too! I love the the look of the surrounding area. It's a special kind of barren. I like how you captured that. Very reminiscent of the videos I've seen of the place. Nice little details like dirt/gravel sometimes where the track surface meets the grass area (or behind some of the kerbs) and how the dryness of the grass varies in places are much appreciated. This is shaping up nicely!

Please let me know if you find a solution - it's a very useful tool while modders continue to release LOD-free mods.

I just updated from 9.1.29600.0 to 9.2.9300.0 by extracting the new SDK archive somewhere and pointing CM to the new SimplygonBatch.exe. My license is still valid until 2025, and LOD generation works for me.


I don't know if removing %localAppData%\Microsoft\SimplygonSDK\Simplygon_license.dat and/or C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SimplygonSDK\Simplygon_license.dat might help getting a fresh license...

 

[AidenT0653]

Hi, I have AMD FidelityFX turned on. However im getting these strainge lines alll over the track. I've turned It off and ithe lines are removed, however i'd rather have it on than off.
View attachment 1160656

Any clues? It's just when I run AMD FidelityFX. The track is Road America, however, it's constant but easier to show it with this image. I looked it up and it said turn V-sync on however it's the same still.

 

[jac0]

Thanks, that was quick. After a year and half away from simracing, I can't be bothered to make skins right now. Having enough trouble catching up with all the mods that came out in the meantime.
I hope to ask you to share the template as well is not asking too much.

what template? I used CM Showroom to export the DDS files, and altered them a bit with GIMP...
You can use the files in each skin folder as "template" to work out some extra skins (esp.take paint_map.dds over in new skin folders else there is this defect in the paint, and you can then easily create a diff color car by putting "metal_detail_body.dds" with another color. You can take decals_d.dds as template for the decals and in photoshop or GIMP change the car number.
