Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[MrB00]

I might be onto something here, but I don't have much experience with ksEditor. I changed the texture, but clueless about where I'd find the normals. I'd like to make sure that works too before I go any further

This is how I do it. Once I have a plate.dds saved in the skins folder I use the Normals plugin in Paint.net (no idea what photshop tool there is for doing Normals) and then save that file as plate_NM.dds
Not sure if this is how to do it when creating a plate file in the kn5 - but i'm presuming its the same method

 

[Patrick Ellis]

Are you any good at tweaking gear ratios too (see above)?

Absolutely not. Sorry!

Well I understand how normals work. But what I mean is about where the name is defined. is "_nm" just assumed? I think I've seen other mods use "_nrm" too, so I'm thinking it's gotta be defined somewhere.

In other news, like I said, I have no idea what I'm doing with ksEditor. I saved the KN5 which is about two thirds of the original size, and well, look...

Sorry, I thought you didn't know how to create normals but of course you do As for how it's named...I always guess and just put _NM at the end and hope for the best.

I also have no clue about kseditor and have only dabbled in 3dsimed but that normally breaks everything when you use it so who knows lol. Not helping much am I

I guess at this point, I just need to worry about exporting a proper KN5. All I did was change the texture and save it. There's obviously something I'm not doing right. Would you know of another step I gotta do before saving?

Err nope. Is that a shaders issue? I'm probably more clueless than you with all this so it's probably time for someone with more skills to step in here.

You're right. Someone more skilled will have to take care of it. Sorry guys! I tried.

At the very least, here's the skin pack: http://www.mediafire.com/file/37xjid734mwbmag/992_skins.7z/file

Includes every skin, with and without black rims. Cheers!

I have made some optimisations to my 1990 Mazda RX-7 IMSA and 1986 Merkur XR4Ti IMSA.

The latter of these now features SCCA trim.

You were almost there, you needed to change the shader to ksPerPixelNM and set the textures. Here you go kn5 only, I've changed nothing else:

Awesome! Thanks!!

But about saving the KN5 again. Any idea why mine was much smaller and looked like crap? Just in case, for future reference

no

How did you export the car to FBX? It shouldn't have changed size or anything as far as I am aware unless you changed something in between.

Absolutely lovely, thanks! However, I'm thinking that I need to kick down the weekend drinking a slight notch...

I used kn5conv to extract the KN5, then opened the FBX with ksEditor, dug around to find the plate, changed the texture, and then went to File > Save KN5 > Car

I get now that I was also supposed to change the shader and add the normal, but I'm not seeing where to save as an FBX. And if I did do that, how would I then put everything back into a KN5?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to get my head around it. Been wanting to play around with some things

Leave kn5conv and use CMShowroom, unpack KN5 option. You saved it correctly, it just looks like your problem was the kn5conv.

Gotcha 👍 Thanks for the help

Anytime

@GzeroD quick question. Any idea why the flash to pass wouldn't work? I checked the lights.ini and it seems to have the correct information but when you go to use it, nada.

Scratch that @GzeroD. I'm dumb and had the mod prior to your light fix

I've got toxic green (maybe even overexposed) fx grass and sky/clouds also on red bull ring, tried sol 1.6 alpha and back to latest on RD. Tried a couple of previous csps, reinstalling csp, track config etc. Anyone else with this problem?

 

[iRoush]

Made my changes to the files Legion provided me. Happy to say you won't find a more accurate version physics-wise for Assetto corsa. It finally drives like the real thing, and thanks to GzeroD I was able to get everything visually appropriate. I'm going to be dropping the file tomorrow after some more testing to confirm we got it right but for now enjoy the screenie!

[/QUOTE] You are the one who worked on New Hampshire, right? I would kill for the road course there, and when I looked at your track in 3dsimed it looks like you've got the road course pretty much modeled in there. Any chance you could make a variant of that track with the road course layout? [/QUOTE]

New Hampshire is almost ready, with 3 layouts.

@norms Sorry to bother you again, but I can't seem to find an option anywhere in the CM showroom to unpack the KN5. I have dev mode enabled, and I've used the showroom to extract AO's in the past for skinning. But as far as unpacking the KN5, I'm just lost

Alfa Giulietta Spider TCL
One small setting can throw a whole car off. While setting up the settings parameters for the settings tab so that no setting was either dimed to the left or the right, this threw off the front toe from negative ~0.50 to positive ~0.20, that's all it took to ruin the handling of this finicky car.
Thanks for testing @Fanapryde and @Masscot, also great idea to use the external engine sound for the internal seeing as this car has no lid. While I was in there, I used ext_config to up the wind sounds as well to bring more realism.

I apologize but this is the one (knock on wood) to have. What I did from the previous version (not the last mistake, the one before that) was to up the handling capability to make it more competitive in the TC Legends pack without just throwing a bunch of horsepower in it.
Please overwrite as asked.

It's a CM plug-in you have to install. I think you can find it in Settings...

That was it! I could've swore I already had all the plugins, but I guess a couple of them mysteriously disappeared with some update or something. We're good now

Cheers dude!
