AMS Modding - Tracks (Work in progress)

[Patrick Giranthon]

hello

i never ever do track for GSC or AMS , only do for Rfactor 1&2 , very similar but im little lost , my track are not reconize by automobilista (GDB , Shader or structure problem ??) is there s a tutorials or a post to explain the step for put new fresh track in locations to work well ??

excuse my bad english

Do you have any error written?

 

[ThatRacingGuy]

Queensland for sure

 

[fabfr06]

Do you have any error written?

sure i do , but its not the structure of the GEN/GDB , the problem seem to become with MAS file ..
i just saw that its the old Gmotor 2.0 instead of the last Gmotor2 , but AMS need MAS file encrypted/protected
i use rfactordec script to encrypt GMT/DDS file , but after , Gmotor 2.0 (v2.1.0) wont pack it in a MAS file ..
at this time , it's my first problem

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

you dont need to encrypt dds, only gmts.
it is strange about gmotor 2.0. I use it and it packs without problem
Send me your gmts not encrypted please.

 

[fabfr06]

thx patrick for encryption it's now ok

-second problem , i open "eastern creek track" to see how its done for AMS (with 3Dsimed) and for the Track/RoadMain , it seems missing something ( shaders ) it appears black with strange color and shader used is "T1 Diffuse" .. is it the normal shaders for the MainRoad/Track in AMS "T1 Diffuse" ??

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Nope. I think you did not put the shaders in 3DSimed. There is special folder for that

 

[fabfr06]

i will put AMS shaders in this special folder ..

Merci

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

I warn you that you will not be able to do many things under 3dsimed. Some shaders use more than 5 channels. And anyway, most of AMS standards can't be done without 3DSmax .

....... The process is similar to the mapping for a RF2 track but in the end there is one last job to do with 3DSMax ..... opsss

 

[fabfr06]

oups , i was thinking it s will be easy to transfert my RF2 track Version to AMS but now it seems i dont know a lot of stuff about AMS tracks ..

has i see , there s a lot of good guy who know perfectly how to do the job here , perhaps someone know a link to a tutorial for AMS Track , that would be more easy then to ask here all the time ..

i have only an old 3DSmax9 version , is it good for AMS , do i need a plug-in ??

Thuro76 ; what is the "Opss" thing i will miss at the end ??

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

3dsmax 11 is needed, but you will not find any tutorial I am afraid, as modding is not supported by Reiza here, due to license agreement with ISI.

It does look alot like the first corner in Melbourne

hmm, you are strong hehe, we have the winner

Euroracers gave me permissions to use their GP4 version of Melbourne. A lot of work to do as said before but I must admit that I start to like a lot what I have done

Guys, I received cams from Luigi for Queensland. Do you want the track this WE?
Gringo only did the grid for AI. Original aiw file is not bad, but not optimised like Gringo knows how to.
My idea is to release it and to do an update when he comes from holidays in 2/3 weeks. You ok?

 

[Ian Navarro]

Where do we sign?

 

[Rob Fitness]

Yes it would be good to get it asap and patch it later @Patrick Giranthon

Patrick.
I agree with Rob a sap with patch later.

Ok, I found some bugs and things to fix this morning. After few hours all is ok. In race AI is not always very clever but at least you will be able to train ^^. Only a little texturing gap problem in the pits I could not fix, weirdly. But I think you will have a big improvement over the gsc version.
