AC Modding Questions Thread

The strangest thing is that it'll only happen when a certain amount of cars are on screen. After the 40s mark, you'll see the the heads go amiss only until the last cars start to disappear into the corner (maybe only 20 helmets for the last cars will render?), hence my suggestion about the "limit some things'" option which unfortunately didn't work.

I've noticed before if you start a single car replay in the F3 view the head will be missing but if you press F1 and then back to F3 it'll reappear but that doesn't seem to work with lots of cars. Just have to hope Ilja can work his magic on it some time, Shader Patch brings so many goodies that a few glitches are inevitable I guess.

Do most people use content manager? I downloaded it yesterday, send the bloke a fiver as a donation, but after a while McAfee shut it down saying it contained a virus.
I got it from here : https://**********/app ACSTUFF

I never received an upgrade key after sending the money. Is it safe?

 

[jlnprssnr]

Yes, safe and more legit than McAfee

Could you please try on CSP 0.1.52? It mentions "drivers now visible for all LODs" on the changelog.

Yep, that seems to have fixed it. Thank you, Ilja .

Still get the thing where your own driver's head is missing on replays unless you do F1&F3 but that's just a little thing and there's a workaround for it.

Doors seem separated from other geo in lighting. What the hell? It's all same mat, same tex, mapped onto a square tex. Looks fine in Blender.

EDIT:

Okay, thanks to @Pessio we found it out. I had forgot all about scale. Mine was uneven at 0.5, 0.5, 1.0. I applied it and at all 1.0 it renders fine. Doh!

So I can't get camera_facing crowds to work and I must be missing something basic I even tried some of Kuno's 3d object, but no luck.
What am I doing wrong?

Details below:

[CAMERA_FACING_0]
SURFACE=camera_facing_gstand1
ELEMENTS=1000
SIZE=0.8,1.4
TEXTURE=content/texture/people_sit.dds
TEXTURE_ROWS=3
TEXTURE_COLUMNS=7
SHADED=1
DIFFUSE=0.035,0.035,0.035
AMBIENT=0.1,0.1,0.1

 

[NightEye87]

You're probably testing this in practice mode. Try it in a quick race (see PM)

 

[Alex V.]

Yep, that was it! Thanks again

How is the lidar data available for Japan? I found this track that has not been done in any sim as far as I can tell but I don't have any luck finding any elevation data so far? The coordinates for the track are 34°47'00.0"N 137°55'40.0"E.

According to Mitja, no public data. Only private sources.

I'm currently working on bringing the Lamborghini Diablo GT1 Stradale to AC, but whenever I try to put a normal map on an object in the ksEditor, it doesn't show up. I haven't had this problem before, do any of you guys know what causes this and how to fix it?

I did find this:

But all the files are in landxml format and it seems there is only one commercial software that can open it

is the object correctly UV mapped? Which exact shader do you want to use?

 

[Omaatjehenk]

They are mapped correctly, there is not a single shader it works with. ksPerPixelMultiMap, ksPerPixelNM.. it really doesn't matter. I also have another issue with transparency I can show later.

did you get it to work? How did you fix it?

3ds max imports .landxml, I think

I simply exported it and just looked at it through the custom showroom. I didn't find a way to get it to work.

Is there anyone that knows all ext_config settings and how to implement them?

Most of it is documented here:
