Hey guys. i have hit a bump and im hoping one or more of you might know the answer
As some of you know, its possible to make your own Special Events (its actually quite easy) more specifically we can make races. Some of you will also be aware of the modification you can do to the "earlyaccess.js" file that unlocks Race Mode so you can set what car, what track, how many laps, etc.
Not only does it let you do that, but it also lets you choose between Quickrace or Race weekend (thats important) quickrace is just "start at the back of the pack and try to come first" Race weekend is "practise session, qualifying session, race - start where ever you qualified) its race weekends im interested in. So thats the setup, heres the problem.
Ive made a new special event race recently, id like to make a race weekend special event. Im 99% sure i know how it works, im just missing the one vital bit of info....
The event is designated by this small chunk of info..
[SESSION_0]
NAME=Quick Race
TYPE=3
LAPS=5
DURATION_MINUTES=0
SPAWN_SET=START
The NAME is irrelevant it can be anything you want, Laps/duration are what controls when the session is over. In the case of a race when the Laps are done, in the case of a practise when the timer is done, Qualify, i guess could be done either using a timer or laps ( you have 10 minutes to qualify as high as you can Vs You only have 10 laps to qualify as high as you can)
THE MOST important part of that chunk of info is the "TYPE" that directly controls what kind of event it is. I know what most of the types are...
Type 3 = Quickrace
Type 4 = Hotlap
Type 6 = Drift
Type 7 = Drag
Now i pretty sure to do a race weekend you will need 3 sessions.
Session_0 would be TYPE = practise, duration = 10 minutes, start in the pits
Session_1 would be TYPE = qualify, duration = 10 minutes OR Laps = 10, Start in the pits
Session_2 would be TYPE = 3 (quickrace) Laps = 10 , start on start line (in the grid)
My big problem is... I dont know what "TYPE" practise or qualify are.. im hoping its as simple as type 1 is practise, type 2 is qualify
SOooooo, im hoping out of the guys that have messed with the special events or stuff like it. Have any of you figured out what the Type number is for practise or qualify ??
If we can get that cracked we can start making full on races. Things like.. Have a 5 lap practise then jump directly into a race, or miss out the practise all together, make it so its a 10 minute qualify then jump into a race, or make it a full on race weekend, with a little practise session, a qualifying session and then the race..
Can anyone else shed some light on this?
