Grass Mesh "1_graspen" is missing in the GrassFX.

unpopular opinion, is it possibile to port all of your tracks to RF2?

 

[KittX]

@junkersDDT Nah i dont really mean plop it with 1000 more assets, those things (mostly the texture tweaks and overlays/mat additions) are not that heavy/expensive to be noticeable, tbh the most amount of resources being lost there are the hours spent to make them look right.
Again, great work!

@twobegreen I knew I missed something!

@AlB_3010 I'm sure it is possible, but all my tracks use many Kunos assets and textures that may have to be replaced.

@KittX I know all my tracks are missing general wear and tear. I just don't know how to do it. I'm not good at editing textures and how to add small details without texture repetition. I also wanted to add utility poles, radio tower, campsite, but had to stop myself, otherwise it would have never got finished.
BTW, I remember your rF1 tracks, I used to race a lot at Karelia Cross and Bryce Canyon.

Can you view the hidden 10th layout in CM? I see the files in the UI, but it doesn't show up in CM.

Hey, I found a bug.

 

[ssdsdsss]

Just a head's up: it seems the pit AI for the Long B layout doesn't work.

 

[doublezero]

@MeltFire Delete "_" at the end of "ui_track_.json" file.

@DarkSK Haha, that is definitely a Bug!

@ssdsdsss It seems that pit ai path doesn't merge with fast line properly, I have to redo it.

Excellent track. But it does not react to changes in the level of detail of the track and to changes in the time of day.

 

[doublezero]

@SimoneMX950 On which layout is the AI broken? Is it the same with every car/mod? On my end, the AI behaves exactly the same as on my other tracks.

@homecalendar There are less high poly props (vehicles, marshals etc.) when world detail is set to medium or below. Those props are only visible during race weekend, if there are 10 or more cars on track.
And for night lighting to work you need CSP and Sol.

It happened in both the Long layouts and the North one.
Just now I tried a new clean installation by unzipping the files and not via dropping the file directly into CM and it seems to work way better, the AI opponents now have a more predictable behavior and are faster than before (tested with Pessio's EuroNASCAR and RSS Formula 4). I think the problem is at least partially solved, so long as the AI aggression is decreased consistently (max 55/60%). I don't know if something got lost when I tried the direct installation via CM. I will do some further testing with other cars in the future in order to confirm this statement.

I still have a suggestion regarding track limits, from what I've seen so far:
- Long A/B layouts: especially when battling in the first lap, the AI cars tend to hit the barriers in the sector before the right hairpin in the initial part of the course, like scraping the guardrail or straight up hitting him during side by side action, causing a massive pileup in certain cases. Also they tend to overshoot the chicane immediately after the hairpin (T7-T8), again while battling for position.
- All the layouts: in the double left hander, right after the kart starting grid, AI tend to go wide on the tarmac runoff on the outside and then "rejoin" the course, smashing into the opponent on the inside, again causing some weird collisions.

I will test furthermore, and if it happens regardless of the cars I will try to trace new more "linear" and restrictive lateral boundaries to fix it.
Once tested and "approved", I can send you the new sideline files if you want.

Keep up the great work!

I agree that some parts can be improved, but first lap will always be more chaotic. This is probably the last time I make a track with so many layouts. It is impossible to test them all in different cars.

Hope that doesn't rule out the possibility of bonus kart tracks tucked away in future circuits - finally got around to chucking the MAD Formula cars about Tucuru and it's been a right blast.

Great track for slightly slower cars especially. Out of interest how is the 3d track map generated. Tried to find a tool for that for ages...

 

[Maximilian Hinter]

love it

It was made in 3ds Max by isolating the road mesh, extruding its edges down and then flattening the bottom.

The kart track is referencing some audio files in audio_sources.ini that don't exist and it makes the game crash..

Fixed it! If you don't want to redownload, go to kart_long\data folder and delete audio_sources.ini. It is not needed for kart track.
