My world changed when I learned how to program the AIW files through the program (guitarmaen AIW CAM Editor 4.22), in fact, I signed up for RD exclusively to download this program and thank MJQT for having posted it!
Before I met this program I did several works on the tracks which had kamikaze (AI) pilots who deliberately threw themselves on the walls... with no alternatives, I ended up having to remove or move these walls through 3dsimed or Zmodeler. Other than that, there were many other problems of AIW programming in several other situations: cars too slow in some corners, cars decelerating on straights for no reason, cars making chicanes poorly programmed to be chicanes, because they were only straight in my eyes and my driving, anyway, everything changed from that I learned to work on this program and organize the races the way I wanted!
Well, but even before I knew this program, I was an F1C player and always found some kind of problem in AIW, I was searching for better AIW programmed in other tracks, even RF tracks, that is, I tried an RF AIW in F1C in order to see if I could save this track... for example I have the memory of Porto (Portugal) which is a beautiful track, but which had a stretch with a severe error: the AIs simply slowed down in the middle of the straight... on this particular track, there were several stretches where the AIs hit the corners of the walls, because it is an urban circuit the walls are very close to the track, but this I solved with the works mentioned above, but in the matter of this straight, I had no solution but to try to find another AIW... and that's when I thought of the idea I want to propose to the RD and the gaming communities that work with this type of archive (AIW), that is: the creation of an AIW public library! See, in my case of Porto, this solved, I downloaded at the time the track in the same format as I had, because it is a track converted into formats, but the same work, in this case, I downloaded the RF version and installed in my F1C version and this AIW was perfect on this straight, saving then a great graphic work, but that was being lost because there was bad programming in AIW.
Well, today I know how to program my AIW, but I know that many people do not know and many are not even interested in learning or do not find it easy, after all, each one has his taste and his talent... so I still think it would be interesting if all AIW programmers had a unique place where they could post their work in order to help others. This would be very interesting because, in fact, the AIW is programmed before the vision of each pilot, that is, an AIW programmed by me has AI piloting more or less with my way of piloting while programmed by another pilot will have the AIs piloting in its own way, so when I download an AIW programmed by a "Max Verstapen", for example, I'll be facing a "Max Verstapen", you know? That is, if this library is founded, we will have several AIW to try in the various circuits and offline games will become much more interesting, because they will be more unpredictable! For example: if I find in the library the AIW for the Interlagos track, for example, programmed by "Max Verstapen" I will be facing AI with the way this driver drives, but let's assume that for Interlagos we have other AIW of other drivers, such as Lewis Hamilton, Rubens Barrichello (great connoisseur of this circuit, for example), Fernando Alonso and who knows who else... anyway, if we have about 100 AIW files to choose only in the Interlagos circuit, our example, we will have 100 different possibilities to race in the same circuit, imagine having these same possibilities in all the circuits that use this type of file (AIW) in their games ... after all, AIW is the soul of a circuit... The graphic part is appreciated like the beauty of a heaven, but heaven without a soul is hell...
Anyway, the idea is launched: we have a library that houses AIW of all the tracks and all the games that use it. Just as the RD has a link to download clues, let it have a unique link to the AIW LIBRARY! And in this link, sublinks with the name of each clue so that the programmer can post his AIW in the correct place and that the player can search for his AIW with ease!
I understand that even most drivers are playing more offline than the other way around and that would be the salvation maybe so that he can further expand the possibilities of putting together good races, no?!
And one thing would also be very interesting, when the programmer posts his AIW that does it in RAR or ZIP file and could include in a text file a more complete explanation about his work, what he thought when he set up his AIW, for which mod it is best intended (Tourism? F1? Rally?), anyway, I'm pitching the idea and I know that through it others will come, in fact I'm opening up possibilities...
One thing that would be pretty cool would also be for RD to schedule an AIW tournament... For each category there would perhaps be a champion! For example in the F1 category, at the Monza circuit... who made the best AIW? We would be able to vote for the best AIW... one could form an official committee and also public vote and award the winner with a CONGRATULATIONS!! (Anyway, I don't know... awards that don't involve commitment to money is always better... I think if I won such a competition and received a congratulations I would already feel very happy!)
Well, that's it, I hope for feedback on this and dream of seeing such a work stimulating everyone!
