Trying to figure out if this is a 'me' problem with Riverside. The first picture below is what I see by default. There should be cars and other objects in that big empty area, but I don't see any. The second picture is what I think i'm supposed to see with the area populated with objects. But to get this look I had to do some editing to the veh.kn5 file. Basically just some object name changing.

Can someone have a look at this area on Riverside (it's to the right of the pits on the long layout) and tell me if what you see looks like the first or second picture. If it's the second picture, then I definitely have a 'me' problem. If it's the first pic, then something weird is going on with the veh.kn5 file and it's not rendering all of the objects. From my investigating, it seems any object with KSLAYER5 in it's name is not getting rendered. I had to change the name to KSLAYER7 to get them to show.

CSP 0.3.0-preview140:

 

[racinjoe013]

Interesting. I guess it's a 'me' problem then. At least now I know so I can continue adding the flags. I had to stop temporarily until I figured out what was up. Some of the flags go in that dead area and didn't make much sense to have them if there were no other objects there. I'll keep going and just use my corrected veh.kn5 for myself.

Little tip for any 'islands in the sky' tracks that either don't have horizons or have 2D mountain walls:
Add@shi's excellent 3D hilly perimeter rabbit_field_terrain.kn5 from his Rabbit Field track, drop it in whatever new track folder, add its model insertion config to the end of the new track's models.ini with a sequential entry number, adjust the middle (height) value up or down to suit your preferences.
If there already is a perimeter (or partial) 2D mountain wall, just hide it in the main ext_config.ini with (example here is doublezero's Kameno):

 ;hide original horizon wall
[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES=a_bkb
IS_RENDERABLE=0

Original:


With hills:


It obviously won't suit all track types and locations, but (maybe especially in VR?) the extra layer of parallax and depth really helps to give the environment an epic scale, and to me the track often feels more seated in the terrain.

Hi. I send a message to Paul...Williams? (Velo) asking for the links to the studebaker and the Frazer Nash, but he never reply to me. Would someone be so kind to share those cars with me?

This is awesome. Thank you!

 

[alfredwayne]

Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a guide or tips on how to implement seasonal adjustments for a track? I tried to look through the csp documentation, but I don't really know where to start when it comes to making it track specific. I'd like to add some winter back to the Colorado mountains in Gabenhoods Pikes Peak mod.

Thanks

 

[gavkiwi]

shouldn't it be as simple as updating the date and time of day in CSP for that given location or track, to get the desired season and weather ?

 

[MrLonguinha17]

There's still a lot to improve, but (the beginning), at least it's out of the imagination.
Adapting a new model (Matra 670B/1974).Unfortunately, the headlights (don't fit well) because of the new front (that I added).
I imported the air intake (and some other parts) from the model I had already adapted.
I decided to change the front wheels, at least for myself.In the next few days I hope to "redo" the other versions (using as a base) the Matra (by Mr Hunt), Matra (by Godzila) and this one (by HSS).
Unfortunately, this is one of my flaws, I can't stay still (without trying to improve some new version).

I have a track conversion that has objects not casting shadows, now i can go through all of them and add shadows casting in ks, but question is, is there a config for extension that can do this? cheers

Also if you wanted to get a bit more hands on round the back, you can use the GIS add on for glender and pick the actual terrain of the area and create a 3D base just like the one in Rabbit.

It's like all this stuff, very simple when you know how to do it.

 

[timetoo22]

That's a showroom, isn't it? Is it making previews as well? And what's its name please, so i can find it?

Fun fact so long as its a kn file you can add any object into the cm showroom, save as a 'car' and add it in...

ACTIVE = 1
DESCRIPTION = shadows on everything
MESHES = ??
MATERIALS = ??
CAST_SHADOWS = 1
LOD_OUT = 1500
DOUBLE_FACE_SHADOW_BIASED = 1

This will add shadows to everything, you'd then need to do another similar entry after this one if you have some meshes/materials that you don't want to cast shadows.

@timetoo22 you can add descrete meshes/materials in that style config as well
(mightt be better not to shadow everything by default)

 

[timetoo22]

Out of interest, what objects would you not want to cast a shadow? I can't think of any

[RMi_wood]

Road, Grass, Sand in many cases.
"tube style" horizons
Misc distant tso and small things
Certain emissive things
some billboards/signage with a backing mesh (adverts over a barrier/wall)
some things inside a garage/building

it depends

[SpeedStar2000]

Hello,

I have a question...

VRC Tourers or Cyrill Cherry BTCC?
Tks

whatever VRC made...the others that made the specific car (like the Renault Laguna) - you can basically bin. However do not bin the Honda Accord as it's the MK5. VRC made the MK6 Accord.

keep from Cyrill - 155 TS, A4, MK5 accord, 405, 806 and 850 saloon. PM3DM you keep all 3 and Shaun Clarke's Cavaliers.

edit: my man F302 has the 1994 155 TS but he also has a MK5 accord too so it's 50/50 for the MK5 accord

By Cyrill, why only the 155 TS, A4, Accord MK5, 405, 806, and 850 sedan? Aren't the others any good?

Check the video settings in CM. World details must be set to maximum, otherwise objects with KSLAYER5 won't be rendered.

 

[Quark67]

The kerbs and tyres and signs and stuff all look a bit laboratory clean, so I very quickly smeared dog tods on the red & white skin to filth it up a bit if anyone wants it. Five-minute job so don't expect miracles..!

It's compatible also with Zandzuka

 

[alfredwayne]

Here's a real quick and dirty wip winter seasonal adjst. for Gabenhoods Pikes Peak. I really have no idea what I'm doing, was just using object inspector and clicking on things & copying some text from the csp wiki lol. Would love any tips or suggestions if there's something critical I missed.

Wondering though, is there anyway to remove the color tint or blend the edges better between the grass and the dirt? The tarmac and dirt seem a bit "crisper" than the grass which is a little muddy green blue tint.
