Let me know if there are any problems. I encourage you to do the "community involvement" thing that way we can all figure out what certain values mean!

 

[Petar Tasev]

For that I guess you'll need some car knowledge. Look at seth's post at top of this page, and just play around with values.

Thanks,but "A file column is not selected to be saved" - how to save the file?

 

[Petar Tasev]

Click on column header above all the values you've edit so that the whole column is selected. For example click on the text that says mus.ctf

quick question, the bumpyness amplification value gives better crashes, but only works for the cars the player drive, not for the ai, how to make it work on ai too? what other values are for the cars turning over and flying in the air when crash occur at high speed?

 

[Richie Hill]

I just made it for around 1 hour.

Is the AI here running under any other type of mod? Is it simply just changes using the new tool?

No mod. It doesn't affect the AI.

 

[Petar Tasev]

@dejanibanez Edit the ctf files in the balanced folder for AI to be changed. This folder is used for both AI and online player.

 

[dejanibanez]

hm, i've done that too, no change , AI stays the same when driving on grass or dirt, its called bumpy_amplification , and i set it to 30 everywhere , balanced and track

 

[Petar Tasev]

Yeah, that's a possibility too. The AI doesn't use all the values from balanced, just some of them.

btw, what exactly does this value do?

 

[dejanibanez]

try it and you will see, when you drive fast on grass dirt or any other bumpy surface, it more like damage physics, your car will turn over and bumped surface will send you flying with great speed and damage to your car. Just like in real F1, this would make the crashes absolutely cool and realistic. but it won't work with AI, just your car. please if you find out if this can be done with AI, let me know.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Did you tried the rb1.ctf like file which locates in the E:\Program Files\Codemasters\F1 2011\cars\rb1 folder i think it will affect

 

[dejanibanez]

yes I tried that too , but no luck

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

I guess we need to test that with High values to check some times AI will not effected by Values which are effected by player

I'm currently trying to see if I can figure out if I can get the computer cars to drive like I do (not "poorly") for all you jokesters out there. The stock grip levels were driving me nuts, holding a turn just didnt "feel" like I would expect an f1 car to, so I bumped front and rear grip to a 1.15, which honestly is still a little high, will probably bring it down a bit, but unfortunately, that level of grip which I am comfy with makes me just absolutely FLY in comparison with the CPU and I am gaining mupltiple seconds a lap. I changed all the computer cars grip stats as well, but unfortunately no dice, they might be a bit faster, but nothing to write home to mom about. My only thought is they are driving as they were programmed and were never programmed to have that much grip, I am hoping I am wrong, because I am digging this level of control, but without anyone ot race gainst, its pointless.

So far I have figured out
Grip
Mass
Fuel Mass
KERS

has anyone switched a car to AWD yet? Think that would definitely pick up the grip lol

Well, I don't know what you can't find. I mean, the values's names say pretty much everything. The first time I opened the files - I figured out a lot of things even without testing...

You need to select the column to save, ie: click on "wi1_abu_dhabi.ctf" before saving.

Thanks to help.

...not sure what you mean. I dont know that I said I couldnt find anything specific, more so I am trying to figure out how to get the AI cars to utilize their newfound grip/speed.

Though I will say, what I meant regarding what I have "figured out" was not only what they do, but also what adjustments to make to get my desired result, a lot of the stats I look at and I honestly dont know whether up or down with make a positive improvement, how much to adjust by etc

 

[Petar Tasev]

Try files both in career and in GP mode, and see if AI is affected in either of them. It's possible that there's a difference.
