AC Modding Questions Thread

[Ofitus21]

I promise, I'll stop asking things.
I have managed to aling the steering animation with the steering wheel. However, the animation is too quick in relation with the steering wheel.

Any clue as to how I can fix this?
And big thank you to everyone who has helped me with the questions I've been asking lately. You are the best!

Your video is private, so unable to really see the issue. However one possibility is the degrees of lock in "driver3d.ini" doesn't match that of your animation. If, for example, you are using the available 3ds max rig made by Kunos, you want that value to be set at 360.

Indeed that was the issue. Thanks!!

i miss the dumb question thread.

Question about ksEditor. The unique, the bizarre, the wonderful... The mighty ksEditor.

Why is ALPHATEST=1 saved in persistence, and yet the editor doesn't retain everytime i load ?
Is it a faulty DDS file, is it a plane, is it superman ?

(Test behaves better, Blend sometimes flickr when objects are too near to each other)

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Use ksPerPixel_AT instead?

Yeah, one of the many wierd kseditor things... maybe just stick to the ksperpixelAT shader instead of forcing the regular shader to use alpha

Also notice you are using a very unconventional texture. DXT3 is better used with masks or map files, and you don’t need 9 mips lol, also it’s size, some GPUs don’t like that.

 

[Ben O'Bro]

lol i knew that screenshot had useful info
i never changed the mipaps... it's either my mistake of changing something at some point, or default in photoshop
i'll check ! Cheers guys !

I thought DXT3 was for perfect black or white alpha (i have an alpha for my fence basically)
and DXT5 for grey shades

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Yeah, you're right, DXT3 is for b/w 1-bit alpha masks, but AT blending mode will also 'filter' the mask to be 1-bit, plus DXT5 uses compression.

I don't think that I ever use DXT3,just DXT5 with AT blend mode.

For some reason, my Toyota will blow the engine when you slam the car from neutral to reverse. If I mash the throttle in neutral, then dump it into reverse, the RPMs jump from 9000 to ~12000 once you're in gear and immediately kills the engine if damage is enabled. I have yet to come across a car that does the same thing. Is there anything that would cause such an issue? I've attached the whole of the drivetrain.ini if that helps.

I don't know if this is relevant but I've seen some weird and unphysical stuff happen in stock Kunos content as well, when shifting into reverse.

Can somebody please advise what's involved in replacing a driver model? I don't mean just changing the reference in data/driver3D.ini for HANS on/off, period helmet/goggles/gloves etc, I want to replace a driver that has his elbows sticking out horizontally (originally from a vintage single-seater I guess?) with one with a more conventional 'elbows in' driving posture. The current 'elbows out' model used in this car looks a little silly in VR even before the steering animation kicks in and his joints start bending into all sorts of painful-looking positions.

Many thanks.

It's either getting your hands dirty in a 3D software
or, using another driver animation (ksanim files) + position (that you can change easily in CM showroom)

For the singer for example, in the early versions, i used the anim from... the mercedes 190 i think as a placeholder, and it was doing the job pretty well
i ajusted the position in the showroom, and the steering radius was matching as well, pretty lucky i guess

Thanks Ben - I was directed to this guide for swapping driver models as well:

How to change Assetto Corsa driver models using CSP

Sometimes the default driver model for some cars in Assetto Corsa can look a bit out of place, particularly with road or old race cars. CSP gives us a menas to replace the default driver with something more appropriate, without having to edit the car itself, and even for only a specific skin.

One dumb Question:

Is there somebody who's able to build the Nürburgring Driftpark? I've already tried it in Blender but gave up after several tries

is it possible that we could see a Power and Glory Mod for AC, having Aristotelis worked for both? :)

As mentioned, this isn't a driver model issue, but an animation one If you can find a car with a similar seating position and steering lock you could use those files and move him around in CM to the right position

Thanks. The modder has actually fixed the driver posture on this particular mod but I'll bear that in mind for the future.

I noticed that if you reverse over, and then cross the finish of a point to point stage (AC_AB_FINISH_L/R), you'll get a infinitely small laptime. Am I missing something on the stage that prevents this? I tried putting a timed sector halfway with AC_TIME_1_R/L but that does not trigger.

Edit: Apparently every A-B track in Assetto Corsa has this issue...

 

[JDM-поехавший]

Hi guys. I'm trying to make a mod (r32 sedan with 180sx front bumper, fenders and hood) and I don't understand how to make a texture map. I know that it can be done in kseditor and that I should import FBX file into it. But kseditor doesn't even see fbx in folder. Does somebody know what can be done in this situation? I'm new at AC modding, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

P.S. Sorry if my english is bad, I'm from russia and I don't speak it often
