Modding Questions Thread

That was my fear!
Really wish i could make it deploy on lap 1, but on first lap i only get a red flag!
I'll just test one part of the track to see if i got it right, if i manage to make it work right with the X.Y. locations. Then i'll try all the track. Looks like someone will have some testing session soon

Yep, Me love testing

If you've got some files ready sent them to me.
I can test friday almost all of the day and the evening and saturday I'm at home the whole day

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Well i didn't get one thing
Why we have 2 line Triggers for SC??

Be sure i'll send you some files!
For now im trying to understand this X,Y. Thought it was easier! lol
The same X and Y values can be at different places
But i'll find out. I'll do one track at the moment until im sure i got the point locations, then i'll start the other tracks
Some extensive testing sessions are coming

Hm... im really not sure but i guess:

SafetyCarLine1Trigger - Point to make the SC return to the pits
SafetyCarLine2Trigger - Point where crashes happen and deploy the SC

Yeah! Looks like its what i said above.
Just understood the X x Y part and Line1 "must" be the trigger to make the SC return to the pits.
Each 4 lines of the file mark a square on the track to make the trigger work. Take a look below:

I'd love to see some modded files in my inbox
I've got two whole days (friday & saturday) and a night to test so I'm ready

should I test it with the real damage mod or without it?

With or without the dmg mod will not make any difference. Your choice
But will probably be easier with the damage mod. As long as the AI crash is enough to "mark" the AI car as a DNF the SC needs to be deployed (as long as the mod works)

Great
can't wait to test it

Sadly looks like if i make the cars stay on the track (DNF cars) forever, then the SC won't come out. They must disappear . But at least the SC trigger is working
I crashed onto Vettel to see if the SC would be called, but after the crash i kept "walking" on the track. Then i saw the SC message but instead of run to get to the queue i just kept waiting for the SC, when he came closer to me, i got the warning i was too close to him and then became a ghost
But ok, after all the SC was deployed and that's what matters. I'll still try 2 ideas i have to make the DNF cars stay on the track, lets see if it will trigger the SC and also if the cars will disappear after the SC deployment. Too bad the SC only works after lap 4.
But remydeleeuw will help me with the tests! right?
CM did a TERRIBLE job with the SC, after looking at the file...man, i don't have words to explain, sorry. The guy who mapped the track points on the files need some help

We can take the work from Here
About cars staying on track in AI folder a file consists how much time the DNF car stays on track see that helps you

Already changed ALL the settings in the AI file, ai_driver_config, don't remember now. But still, no DNF more time. For now its only 2 choices, fast disappear, stay there forever!
There's one setting called retirespeed or something like it. At 0.01 the car stays and looks like its random. Some of them disappear, the others don't. Very weird.

Yeah I Will help with testing it

Guys, believe it or not. CM haven't maped all the track, in case of Brazil, just the last corner and the first 3 corners, so any crash in any other part of the track there wont be a SC. Probably this happens on all of the other tracks, thats why so many people complain about the SC not being deployed.

What the ....
Here comes the question (a) can you fix it?

Happly yes!
My test yesterday was not only by changing the values, but adding new ones, i mapped another part of the track and made some crashes there, it worked
I'll map all the track and the run off areas. Particularly for the run off areas after big straights

Let me know as you get something to test.
Then I've got something to do tomorrow
