Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Masscot]

Here's some quick-and-dirty RainFX for leomaldonadoh's just-released Autodromo Las Vizcachas, if anyone wants it. Just create an "extension" folder in the track folder, rename ext_config.txt to ext_config.ini, and drop it in.

I also had to darken some of the textures as they were way too bright for me, but if the default looks OK on your system, just comment out or delete the [SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...] lines.

Thanks for this. It's a really great-looking track and finally gives hope that photogrammetry might actually work if combined well with traditional 3D assets, without everything looking like melted ice cream. It certainly gives more of a naturally organic look to the environment. Even the best manually-textured tracks can look rather fake by comparison.
I noticed that the trees have planar shading so the normals probably aren't pointing vertically.
Add this to correct that, but you might need to adjust the ambient and diffuse values for personal preference (I've not tried it in conjunction with your own config adjustments yet).
I had to point the normals vertically down for some reason, pointing up didn't work. It sometimes doesn't.

;fix tree normals (should work if ksTree shader is used)
[ALTER_NORMALS_...]
MATERIALS = shader:ksTree
OFFSET = 0, -1, 0; 0, 1e9, 0
DESCRIPTION= lighten/darken trees after normal fix above
MATERIALS = shader:ksTree
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.4 ;adjust for personal preference
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.4 ;adjust for personal preference

very nice update. thank you for that. I wish the fenders of such a beautiful car were not like a car that had an accident. also the brake discs are always red

No problem with the brake discs here, but I agree about the fenders.

looool bit confused? SKIN.dds is what you need to rename the main skin to.

The "body_map.png" i never touched dont even no what it does.....not alot from what i can see

if you still have issues i can just send you the entire car, everything works as it should on mine i have even got Zink5ki stuff to work on the OG skins so they have no passenger seat with working skins

what threw me of was looking in "CM showroom" instead of just "showroom" and wondering why it was always borked

I think it's better if you can send me your mod, because it goes from bad to worst on my side.

Here's a challenge for the braves, i've been tweaking the AI a bit lately and recreating some vintage races and i'm quite proud of this one. If you guys could have a look and give me feedbacks, i need to know if it's challenging enough.

Thoroughly enjoyed the videos - what a tough competitor that #62 - diving late in front of you in that horseshoe-turn, you having to go on the inside, clipping the tall grass coming out of the turn - the effects were awesome... Tell me, you're obviously driving in VR mode - what hardware do you have? Cause the immersion is phenomenal, thanks. Going to start saving immediately for it so it doesn't break the household budget...

Opel Calibra DTM - Classic Gulf Livery WIP

Personally, this is a classic livery for me, which I'm happy to include in the collection...

wipers works fine here, it's CSP wipers with ext_config.ini

Well, not here.
Do I have to perform some kind of wizzardry maybe ?
I’m on the latest CSP, all my other cars have working wipers (as far as they are present)

Very weird. They should work as normal, there's nothing unusual that I can see.
I can only suggest installing the car again?

Here's some quick-and-dirty RainFX for leomaldonadoh's just-released Autodromo Las Vizcachas...

FYI, looks like leomaldonadoh has just added his own RainFX (and GrassFX) for the track.

Thanks, but I tried that a few times already, not that it helped, even tried other CSP versions, also didn’t get the wipers to work.

EDIT: forgot to mention that after my last reinstall I now have a wiper sound, but it still doesn't move...

It's strictly NeckFX here, i'm a long term mono-screen user (i get motion sickness in VR and the kids scare the **** outta me each time they jump in in the middle of a race).

I use Reshade for some extra immersivity, and either test ppfilters from others or use mines. Apart from that, i'm running AC in 2K with a 7800Xt which is "quite" affordable.

Good afternoon. Question about editing tracks. The essence of the question is, on the track, in a narrow closed city section along the edges, near the walls, there are lamp posts, and bots regularly drive slightly beyond the road, crash into these posts, flying apart in different directions and causing massive blockages in this narrow corridor. Is it possible to use ext_config.ini without hiding the visual part of the post, but disable its physical part? In other words, is it possible to disable collisions with posts, while leaving them visible, using ext_config.ini?

 

[GT3Masters97]

First of all, thanks to everyone for the comments, now let's see what we can do. 😎

As for the windshield wipers, I'm almost sure it's a CSP problem because, with the latest update, it became impossible for me to create them and sometimes they don't work (on various cars and not consistently). In fact, I won't deny that also on some circuits it rains inside all the cars and on others it doesn't. So I'll try to fix everything with the next CSP update, hoping it works. I also have to temporarily give up on the z3m because I tried in every way to create them but nothing, they don't work.

As for the fenders, yes, I can fix them. I didn't do it before because... I forgot to do that LOL

As for the brake discs that always stay lit, it's a bug not related to the car, it happens to me sometimes and with various cars.

The fix to prevent sun getting into the cockpit through bodywork and the fix for the motec will be added in the next update (thanks @Masscot)

it might be possible by redefining those meshes in surfaces.ini using extended track physics

prolly better to make new sidelines and AI

tried different skins. different result for all 3

[MS6Driver]

dies anyone have a good AI-Line for Hockenheim1988 (Short) where ai Cars dont crash that much?

 

[maximeerkat]

I get an alert while loading, then the Venturi loads fine but one of the lods is kinda weird, weird shadow under the car, etc...
haven't checked which one.
There's also some front wheel clipping in the lot.

I don't no if your having an issue with the one i posted up or not, i just checked mine and have no weird shadows although i do have a warning about banner.png/lod1 or something. Personally i dont worry about that as the car looks fine and i'm not a replay man or a full grid of car's type of dude i just do hotlaps so lod's for me in any capacity dont realy bother me although that banner warnng may just be code i removed i have no idea.

I think it's better if you can send me your mod, because it goes from bad to worst on my side.

Conversion from rFactor.

Great job as usual.

I see you have fixed Hakkinen's helmet? Is that download available somewhere?

Cheers.

There are several versions of this car floating around and (except this one) all have working wipers...

I really have no idea what is going on, I am seriously confused. The wipers are handled by csp in the general ext_config...

 

[Masscot]

Working on another update to Brno, with some texture updates for a few adboards, and guff like animated birds added. But the main difference will be a complete overhaul of the tree textures.
Guess what, SimBin? Brno isn't a Christmas card scene with nothing but pine trees and firs, so this will be reflected in the variety of trees in the update.



Trees will all now be of the same high-resolution quality (rather than the 8-bit mishmash we had before) and new bespoke transparent treewalls are being created from the same textures.
Everything will be tone mapped and balanced to the environment.
Still WIP at the moment but it's already transformed the look of the track. Really pleased with the results so far.

Where can I find all SPA versions (vintage and modern)? Thanks in advance!

Check out the tracklist of mr @Breathe and you will find nearly all the tracks that are made for AC including the additional mods.

Was someone asking recently why shadows noticeably pop in when driving down long straights?
Might not have been here.
But anyway, increase this third number until they don't.

 

[sab001]

I'm curious as to why I don't have the same Smart Shadows page that you do...? What version is that?

 

[alexfre]

Hi !!
Lately on some circuits or cars I get an error "Failed to allocate gpu memory".
I use the latest CSP version and "Pure".
Thank you for the help..

 

[feli3]

I really have no idea what is going on, I am seriously confused. The wipers are handled by csp in the general ext_config...

There are "ext_config.ini" files in some of the skin folders, something about "[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_3]". These cause the wiper to not work properly.
Delete the "ext_config.ini" files in the skin folders. Wipers will work fine after that.

Uncheck AUTOMATIC SPLITS and they will appear.
