Not sure if i was meant to but i did anyway

Tvr Sagaris gt3 close replica



credit to @jaqory for starting the skin, i have tidied up the union jack and finished the skin i am presuming that's what i was meant to do seeing as the psd was there to use..........so i used it 🤓

had to work with what i have in some area's and the real thing the back end is different so had to adapt here and there.

i havent included it but if anyone wants the pdn to see if they can improve more then i can give you that. But overall i am happy with this and the way it has turnt out.

i do the three or more identical versions of textures because im flexible with giving different parts different colous
So it only looks like that at first glance
and you are right with that it can be simple DXT1 4x4 pixel DDSes rather than the 512x512 pixel versions
but im no more on rfactor1 modding 15 years earlier.

My mistake did not check the filesize when i test the skins.
and my PC tricked me:D because even with version 1.0 of the skinspack I didn't notice that I had bad loading times, not even in the CM showroom and with all 42 skins on the Nordschleife.i had 90fps.
maybe i have a to good PC for Assetto:grumpy:.

Version 1.1 of Skinpack is available with for me Standart 4096x4096 DXT3 (i dont do smaller textures for the car skins)
and for other parts i dont do smaller than 512x512 pixel.

Improvement 1 = skinpack is done

If the skinpack doesn't work for you, you should be experienced enough to make the textures smaller for you likeing and your PC.

So from my side the discussion about textures is closed.
I don't mean that in a bad way and im speaking to all not only to you Masscot.
Next time we will do it better.:)

I liked your tread before better when you constructively said what could be improved on the car that helped me a lot
and on weekend i will bring a update for the car.

the lenses of the headlight where painted, yes because i wanted give an option to have normal headligts
but i forget to put in the folder with textures.

smoke from where wheelbarrow exhausts would normally be needs moving to the sidepipes -- no problem i can do

I tried tweaking the driver posture and adding a new shifting animation --- i give Langheck the driver_open_face.kn5
and that is missing in the zipfile so I'm surprised that the car even charges in game and you have a driver visible in CM
will be fixed in update.

So all i can say sorry guys;) please give me time to update.
No need to apologise to anybody, we are all glad that your team brought us these cars and that you're open to suggestions for improvements. Lots of different people here are happy to contribute where they can.
 
Because the DRM Mod is hyped again (fully deserved) i have shared my BOP settings with the goal to make closer and more varied races vs AI possible

As always feedback is welcome.

For the GT3 version I had the idea of closing the sidepipes (physic base BMW Z4 GT3)
 
Thank you for the feedback ; much appreciated.
So, you confirm the uselessness of mipmaps ; in any case (I mean for car textures) ?
For AC, yes, definitely. Like Masscot said, mipmaps are generated automatically by the engine, it's just a waste of space. Well, from my experience it is, adressing customized mipmaps doesn't do anything, so... I don't even talk about loading times in fact, I don't think it makes much a difference (supposedly longer, but by what margin), but it does make one in size, and size do matter (wink)

It depends very much on the game engine/virtual engine you're using your texture with. For some it's mandatory, for others a waste of ressource (mostly because they already create them).

And I don't know why I quoted your message, anyway, I 100% agree with it :lol:

Who you're apologizing for ? No need to, for others I can't speak but personally I'm just glad if I can help making it better in any way. For the rest, decision and such, you and @Langheck_917 are in charge, You do it your way.

And yes, you do have a good PC :lol: 42 cars on Nords and mine gets hotter than a volcano, with the fps of the original Tetris.
 
With all this talk about mipmaps for car skin textures and how they are not needed, does that go for track textures as well? Or should all track textures have mipmaps and how many? I'm thinking I could reduce a lot of my mod sizes if I didn't use mipmaps for the textures. Thanks for any input...

Honestly : I have no idea. Maybe try without, do both version and share it with a few beta-testers to see if you all get the same results, and analyze the differences. If none visible, then it might be like for the cars.

I think you mistakenly credited me instead of someone else , as I did no skin for this one...

I did do a quick test and could not see a bit of difference between the two. The odd thing though was I created a 7zip file of the mod with the new textures just to see if it brought down the download size compared to the original and it was larger than the one with the mipmap textures. So the download size of the mod got bigger, but it would take up less disk space when extracted.

I'm so impressed, what a sick rework, an imaginary AO given that the color skins must be applied on the metal_detail.dds and not on Skinbase.dds with a solid color, an ambient shadows not updated and that doesn't correspond to the car, a collider.kn5 in the ground, a colliders.ini in the air, a COCKPIT_HR that doesn't exist any more than LODs, camera F6 placed here and there etc. .....
Professional-quality mod :D

Smaller is better, but bigger is better, therefore smaller is bigger. Makes sense

I was wrong. I did the test over again because it didn't make sense to me. The 7zip file is indeed smaller with the textures with no mipmaps. Now I just need to run a few laps to make sure nothing looks odd with no mipmaps on the textures.
 
A user on the CSP discord posted what finally seems to be a solution to the problem of missed sequential shifts in Assetto Corsa when having h-pattern, paddles and sequential shifter all mapped to the same control profile.
Basically, map the paddle shifters in the CM/Settings/Assetto Corsa/Controls/BUTTONS tab (along with the h-pattern mapping) and keep 'combine with keyboard' UNTICKED.

Then map your sequential shifter in the SECOND column of the CM/Settings/Assetto Corsa/Controls/PATCH tab.

Screenshot (84).png



This means you should now only need one controller profile with h-pattern, paddles and sequential all working as intended, and no need to swap profiles when changing between a paddleshift car and one with a sequential shifter.
I was hoping this would allow me to finally get my SHH shifter to work in AC again, but still nothing, heh. I can map it to the Next and Previous slots in the Patch tab, but I still get no response in-game.
 
As long as no one develops something closer to the real thing in relation to the 3 models:

Ferrari 250TR/61,
330TRI/LM62,
330TRI/LM63,

Follow the link to the "fake" Ferraris, at least to make up the Le Mans grid and have some fun.
What was possible to improve in the textures/shadows of the cars, were done by our mate "MrHunt".

Some skins were just adapted (as I decided not to create another fake Ferrari 246P model)Below are some prints of the models.

FERRARI 250TR/61-Fantuzzi - 330TRI/LM62-Fantuzzi - 330TRI/LM63-Fantuzzi
