Misc KS Brands Hatch track skin\ext_config 1.5b

racinjoe013 submitted a new resource:

KS Brands Hatch track skin\ext_config - KS Brands Hatch track skin\ext_config

Another totally useless mod by me. Fixes some issues I had with the track and track config file.

-- Removes all of the 3D trees. Changes the look with some trees missing, but I think for the better because the 3D tress are so stupid looking. If you spot any I missed, let me know so I can edit the list in the file. If you like the other changes this file does, but want the 3D trees back, just set the [MODEL_REPLACEMENT_...] entry at the bottom to ACTIVE = 0
-- Small tweaks to the grass...

KS Brands Hatch track skin\ext_config

Missed the branch and Leaves entries in the MODEL REPLACEMENT section that caused flickering on the sides of buildings from certain angles. Didn't pick up on it originally. My bad.

NOTE: Going to have to update my Nords mod that hides the 3D trees as well since it probably has the same issue.

At night all the lights are off on the track. How to fix?

racinjoe013 · Apr 8, 2022

Hmm. Not sure why that would happen since I didn't mess with the lights entries. Let me do a quick check.

EDIT: Well this is odd. Having the MATERIAL ADJUSTMENT entries in the ext_config seems to knock out the lights even if I set them to INACTIVE. Only way to get the lights back is to completely remove the code. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the heads up. For now, it works fine in the day time. Give me a little time to work it out, assuming it's possible.

Figured it out, but the fix may be too awkward for people to want to deal with. I'm still going to post an update in a few minutes for those that don't mind what needs to be done.

KS Brands Hatch track skin\ext_config

First off, thanks to @bodmon for pointing out that my mod messed up the lights at night.

There is a fix, but could lead to problems down the road. Much like my Nords mod to remove the 3D trees, it only works properly as part of the full track config. Don't know why. I'm sure someone with more knowledge could figure it out. This means in the future if CSP ever updates the track config, you won't see the changes until I update this mod. I will keep tabs on it as...

I missed a 3D tree, but I hate to make people download another version. How annoyed would people be if I put another update out tomorrow? Or should I just explain how to add the correct entries for you to do it yourself.

Hello!

Wondered if you could make a track extension that opens the pitlane and paddock, perhaps you could make an RX version of the track too? Or perhaps the Winter Rally Stages?

May be above my pay grade, but I can see if I can find someone who knows how and is willing to help.

Optional update. Missed one final 3D tree that had a completely different name. If you don't care about that, you can skip this version. Everything else is the same.

racinjoe013 updated KS Brands Hatch track skin\ext_config with a new update entry:

KS Brands Hatch track skin\ext_config

Updated the resource to work with the new CM\CSP Brands Hatch config released recently. You'll get the changes I made in the previous version plus the added stuff the new CSP config has. This one still has the 3D trees hidden by default. You can edit the ext_config file and change the 'ext_config-3d-tree-removal' section to ACTIVE = 0 to bring them back.

Still includes the grooves skin to get rid of the purple tinted grooves, but I added a grass and trees skin that I use occasionally...

I know I just released an update, but I got to fooling around after looking at some recent photos\videos of Brands Hatch. This is my attempt to get the black bridges I saw in the pics\videos. The first bridge has the wrong logo, but I can't find a decent photo of it to use, so for now it's just the black Brands Hatch logo. I'm no modeler so you can expect to one mistake with the new bridge logos. Under very bright light, the logo object won't quite blend in with the bridge object.

My apologies for this. I forgot to include the file for each track variant that lights up the s\f line lights. I tried to do it as an attachment in the Discussion thread so that people wouldn't have to download the whole package again, but it doesn't accept .zip files. So i'm forced to upload another full update. If you don't care about those lights, there is no need to download this again.

I'll try to be more careful in the future...

In skins folder i have Grass and Trees - Grass and Trees 2. Do i need to check both of them or just one? What's the difference?

racinjoe013 · Dec 3, 2022

You only need to check one. I always try and do multiple skins because everyone has different tastes, ppfilters, etc. So I like to cover all basis. The difference between the two is in the amount of saturation. The number two would be the more saturated textures if memory serves me correctly. Once you find the one you prefer, you can delete the other one. Or use another track skin if you like. It won't impact the other features like flag lights.
