Mmmm very nice compilation of old and new tracks!! Lot's of fun here, thanks QuadCore!

 

[Alexander Knoll]

Awersome!! THX QCM

 

[aadilf1]

Can you supply the track lists.

 

[QuadCoreMax]

Thanks guys, I appreciate.
The new released track list :

Atlantlis City
Boujma
Gypkin
Mystical Circles City
Nishu
Orska
Pajani
Taupoulos
Tyshen
UV City
Yumba

Mystical Circles & UV City don't have any outer terrains for now.

 

[pradzio1]

Wow! Thank you man!

 

[QuadCoreMax]

So, what's the best track in your opinion ?
What's the stuff that you feel needs more attention ?

Feel free to report/feedback anything that goes thru your mind !

For those, who want to make their own cars AI for the tracks, here's the best way :

After starting the free drive, press CTRL + F6.
Drive nicely until the record is finished.
Before, you press CTRL F7 to save the AI, open console & press 'ai smooth 10'.
Done !

Just a note, UV City was one of the 1st test of having some smoothed curved roads & buildings. Still there was, as I looked to my code yesterday a wrong setup projection method (it was in world instead of local), so in next updates, you will see everything correctly set & smoothed out (2m usually) !

I hope you get what I mean !

 

[pradzio1]

Okay, so I've downloaded a few of this tracks: Atlantis, Boujma, Gypkin, Mystical Circles and Orska. I can say about them, that they are really good Only thing that disturbs in comfort driving is that they are (don't knowhow to call it) too bright, so the visibility isn't very god, and there's no real night. I talk about really dark night.

Some screens from these tracks, I hope you will see what i mean.

 

[QuadCoreMax]

Correct, I have messed up a little the special.ini + all TOD curves could be looking better.
What are the best ways of having a nice TOD when you fast_time 200 for example in the console & drive at night ?

 

[tormento19]

Great tracks for sure, but i still have a problem with "Freehand", it closes 1 second after start it... Thanks!

 

[QuadCoreMax]

Pradzio, maybe a "cloud-time verification" script which verifies the time & sets the clouds amount to 0 between 18H/6pm - 6h/6am to get a realistic black night. The third image illustrates the problem.

tormento, what does the qlog.txt saying ?
Is anyone else having problems ?

Maybe it's the textures size, but strange because Racer default texture size is set to 2048x2048 pixels which I've use to pack all buildings.

 

[pradzio1]

Eh, my knowledge about TOD and other stuff connected with making tracks for Racer is very poor, but I can show you something.

For me, this night looks quite good.



But really perfect night is when, when you can't see anything without using lights

 

[tormento19]

All your other tracks of this pack work great!! But Freehand closes after 1 second. Here it's the QLOG, thanks!!

All your other tracks of this pack work great!! But Freehand closes after 1 second. Here it's the QLOG, thanks!!

Sat Feb 02 22:18:39 (ERR  ): [racer] wglGetProcAddress(glProgramVertexLimitNV) failed [gllextmgr.cpp:138 / check_wglGetProcAddress]
Sat Feb 02 22:18:39 (WARN ): [racer] envmap.generate_mipmaps is 1 but ATI drivers don't support texCUBElod for mipmapped envmaps in Cg [rmanager.cpp:1011 / RManager::Create]

Those 2 seems to be the origin...
If you set in your racer.ini file, envmap > generate_mipmaps=0 & damage > vertex_damage=0, what happens ?
It happens that all tracks crash here, when I set those 2 variables to 1 with 0.8.39.

 

[tormento19]

Generate_mipmaps set to 0 with the same result, vertex_damage value 0 too. Very strange because i can run all the other tracks of your list even with the variable=1

 

[QuadCoreMax]

Sorry Tormento, I don't know what's the cause, almost sure it's the (err) message. Usually Racer can work even when there's WARN or INFO messages...but not the ERR

Someone experienced knows something ?

@All

Anyone found serious other qlog errors ? I was thinking about Boomer who usely verifies everything, but I guess there's nothing to fix for versions under 0.8.40..

& Sorry guys, I didn't check any track with latest versions, as I was kind of disappointed with latest versions, but I can understand how difficult for Ruud it must be to upgrade & implement new features, so I stay patient & confident.

 

[tormento19]

Don't mind Will try another things to see if it works, thanks again!!

 

[boomer541]

The only one of the ii I've tried is the Atlantis track which has a problem with the trees floating above ground level.No Qlog errors but those trees need to be planted. Tested on Ver 090 rc3. When I have time I'll try the rest.

There is an error in the gfx section of the special.ini file, I'll let QCM find it. Hint - it's 0930 am.

Atlantlis Updated....
Link

Updates :

- track.ini km update
- new loading + preview wide-screen images
- new tree texture
- flat outter terrain included
- sky fixed where RGB channels have now their colors - Night working !!
- minor shader updates for the road & water with some bump normal maps

Known Issues :

- you can fall into the 3D scene when driving far outside the city
- some vertices are not merged together when driving outside - terrain >< curbs

Missing Features :

- a lot !

Just to recall everyone, it's the 1st city ever made for Racer by myself with all building detailed...approx 200K the whole scene. All buildings textures are also made by me, there were all extracted from StreetView & edited later in PS.

Unfortunately, the road wasn't subdivided further because of the buildings topology. Maybe at some point in time !
