is it possible to remove objects of a track via ext_config files? 🤔

Yes. Put this code into a track's config and change the mesh name to match whatever object you are trying to remove.

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION =
MESHES = 'objectname'
IS_RENDERABLE= 0

One word of warning though. Some objects\meshes are grouped with other objects\meshes. If you try to hide one object, you may actually be hiding other things as well.

Follow up question, if I may:
Would this make a track less demanding for the PC (e.g. load faster, achieve stable FPS etc.) if one hides a bunch of stuff?
Say tree groups or buildings out of view for example?

I respect all the work modders pour into their creations but I tend to see just a fraction of it anyway
when driving in cockpit view...

I'm not sure about that one. In theory I guess it should work. If the game is not rendering as many objects, I would assume it would be less taxing on a system. Honestly though, that would be one for someone with more knowledge than I have.

Merry XMas, fellows

I couldnt stand those large rims anymore. And while I was already at the car I've made some changes to the extension too.

Download at GTPlanet or Sharemods and have a very merry xmas. 🥂

On no! Maraiah attacks again... 🤦‍♂️

For clarity, absolutely sure this doesn't apply, but ... here goes

Would this make a track less demanding for the PC (e.g. load faster, achieve stable FPS etc.) if one hides a bunch of stuff?

The answer is DEFINITIVELY.... maybe.

Not having to render objects will always save GPU time and effort, so FPS WILL improve.
How much is the question. Noticeably? Usefully? What percentage of the "RENDER ALL" task have you mitigated?

Another consideration is that improvements are less noticeable when the engine is in the center of the performance envelope, ie, it has head-room. If the engine is at the edge of the envelope, with little or no headroom, ANY improvement might move the needle in a way that you can feel.

The only way to tell in your specific instance, is to cull a few meshes, by the method that @racinjoe013 suggested. and see if you can discern a difference. Then fact-check your feelings with CSP's very good GPU Rendering Stats app, in game.

BTW, did you know if you use the F7 camera in-game, you can fly around and inspect areas/objects, and if you have the Render Stats app open, it makes it quite easy to isolate stuff that is causing issues. Might be useful in selecting what to cull first?

Load times are unlikely to be affected. The whole KN5 must still be read in, and either kept in memory or paged. The render "Item_A" decision is made on-the-fly in-game, based on a list of notes (ext_config.ini) "Item_A = NO" = skip.

Hope this is useful.

i did not make the car BE_MODDING did i did state that in my post. All i have done is make the skin, anything else is down to the og modder, not me. i dont even know what a psd is let alone how to make one

if you want a "lighter skin" then use the 2k one that i provide you don't have to use 6k or 4k i dont see what the problem is?

you make a skin in 12k to downscale to 5k or 4k or 2k and you retain sharpness to a point you don't release a 506mb skin that's stupid.

also my 5760x5760 skin is only 48.6mb i would hardly call that "unoptimised" bear in mind this is the entire skin not just the body.dds file

alot of my skin have been over 80mb in size for higher res that would be fair enough to pull me up on that but you try and pull me up on one of my lightest skins to date..............i don't get it infact i am confused.com as to what your saying, if i have missed something or i just dont understand then please let me know. i no very little

i am pretty pleased with how my skins look imho and i provide something for everyone if you want hi res or not. the 2k skin is 21mb in size i can do no more other than give you options

i don't like how the window stickers fight with each other though, but i cant seem to change that some mods do it some don't

What I'm trying to say is that the problem is in the UVW map that's why you make the skin "5760x5760"
I don't know what (BE_MODDING) is or if you part of this group
Anyways, I was trying to help not to criticize you

guys no one can help me they ignore me no matter how much I write no one sees me

Oh, I know that feeling....

 

[Davidepergo]

Can't do anything about the livery.png except change it yourself like you're doing, but you can change how AC sorts skins, either by name, ID, or number.

View attachment 1311223

I switched it to name, then custom named my skins for those that needed it (batch editing in the UI edit tab is your friend) and it "auto sorts" it for me by series, or whatever I call the skins

View attachment 1311220
So this, looks like this when you select a car. You can tweak the naming structure to "force" sorting in whatever way works for you.

A big thanks to the skin makers who package their liveries with the names set up and a period correct livery.png. Appreciate the little details. I know recently there have been a few skins for the new GT1 Aston Martin which were named like this

Hi,

It also happens to you that with this car when you enter the game the audio disappears?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod but nothing changes

 

[Vintagedriver]

Stupid question. Is anyone having issues with RD's website recently? For like the past two weeks or so, I can not navigate around RD's website. My browser window will periodically flash\blink and after a couple of times, all clickable items are unresponsive, be it forum links, topic links, etc. Wondering if it's just me.

Nothing here using safari on my iPad and Brave&ToR browser on my Windows PC. Also at the RD mods section, the download problems seems to be fixed.
Could be you are using an extension that’s blocking advertisings to strong, like adware software.

Hello everyone, what's going on with the Z GT500 mods when will it be released?

I have no idea about a GT500 mod, do you have any background about who is working on it or what?

For the error on the other mod, I don't recognise it but the error message is fairly explicit - delete some wing references from aero.ini and see if it works.

Better?

Cars - Need help making physics/driver animation for my Z GT500 mod

I'm about to finish my scratch-made Z GT500 except for the physics and driver animation + sound, I know it's possible to make driver animations in Blender but no matter what I do the end result is always like the driver has a broken arm with alien hand syndrome, so if anybody is up for the work...

"I'm about to finish my scratch-made Z GT500 except..."

@demankz He's discussing it on current public threads on Race Department and Reddit.

Hi All. Just a quick question. The game crashes sometimes when I race at Le Mans the SX version. It happens when I exit
Virage du Tertre Rouge. Any ideas please. Is there anything in CM that enables you to check the track files. Many thanks.

Top right corner is a indicator that turns green if there is a new track version
Last week it had a new version of sx-Lemans v2.6 to install for me

Edit: I see in your previous post that you already was aware of the v2.6 version
so in that version is crashes? I will do some online laps today to see if it crashes here too, (tested and no crash for me at that point)

One word of warning though. Some objects\meshes are grouped with other objects\meshes. If you try to hide one object, you may actually be hiding other things as well.

Add in Ext_config.ini

[MODEL_REPLACEMENT_...] ; this will NOT work to hide a collideable mesh
DESCRIPTION = hide my thing
ACTIVE = 1
FILE = ?.kn5 ;with ? you don't have to find which is the correct KN5 file where the mesh is
HIDE = MY_MESH

or

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...] ; this will work to hide a collideable mesh
IS_ACTIVE = 1
MESHES = MY_MESH
IS_RENDERABLE = 0


Also, if the collidable invisible wall mesh is on the track, you have to edit surfaces.ini file (inside track data folder).

• copy all the reference [SURFACE_xxx] of the road mesh (so you have all correct road parameters)
• paste at the end of the file
• rename [SURFACE_xxx] adding 1 to xxx
• edit KEY parameter with the collidable invisible wall mesh (ex.: KEY=01WALL02)

NOTE: mesh name only in CAPITAL letters and without spaces between "="

@Breathe I do miss this version in your listing, btw its still WIP since 2017

edit: Forget it, this is real WIP, not good in the actual state.

i made the skin 5760x5760 because that's what your meant to do, to then resize it to 4096 and 2048 respectively so you can retain some sharpness at lower resolution. you "assume" i am doing it for other reasons i guess?. You assume wrong

I would have liked to participate in the Christmas releases too. I'll give you some more good news: before I realized that Tsunoda took over my TVR, I had found a better sample for external audio. Here is an excerpt

I tried implementing the new menu interface (by changing gui.ini) but find that it seems quite non-functional. Primarily, the driver-names/laptimes are not recorded on the list. Is there something else I need to do, or is it just not fully functional yet?

On a similar note, is there a way to make this driver list (old gui) bigger onscreen? (old eyes need bigger)


EDIT: And now I can't get that new interface to fire up at all. The new pause menu and taskbar are there but not the new pits menus...

Hello everyone, what's going on with the Z GT500 mods when will it be released?

Development hasn't stopped for a day I just have to guess the performance myself without any information on GT500 cars (no I won't copy other GT500 mods' physics)


AI ran like 100 laps on Suzuka being on par with real laps but I'm sure people will dislike it still

 

[MikeontheMic]

Does anyone else have this issue in CM? It's driven me crazy since the start and I wanted to know if anyone else has this issue.

Editing tracks in the content tab is such a pain, it seems like this only happens when there is more than one layout. I edit the description, geo tag, city, tags, etc. and every time I save it just reverts back to what was there before. I have to edit and save 2-3 more times for it to actually take.

My cars are meticulously organized with tags, that is half the fun for me lol. Tracks have the custom preview and wotnot, but the tags are a mess. I'm crazy but not so crazy to organize each tag on every layout multiple times and pray it stays. Has anyone got a fix?

 

[Vipla284]

Hi, everyone
I'm wondering if it's possible to hide one side of a double sided mesh via ext config? A car mod has doublesided windows and I want to hide interior side faces, so to not get weird reflections in cockpit... maybe something with CULL_MODE= ?
Thanks in advance if anyone has answer

 

[RicME85]

Can't say I have that issue. I just loaded up CM and added a tag to a track with multiple layouts, hit save and it kept the change. Its annoying having to add tags to each layout but I guess the easier way would be to open up the ui.json file in Notepad++ and make the changes there.

@MikeontheMic btw
