General Assetto Corsa Evoluzione - a major career modification

[0072]

Hi! My name is Alessandro Cesari, I am creating a major mod for Assetto Corsa that implements a career system similar to that seen in Gran Turismo.

I'm using Unity to be able to have menus structured to look like a real game. This will have classic functions as Gran Turismo games like: Car Dealer, Events, Garage and Car Services and many more! It will also support mods. (Career can launch AC on its own!)

The ambition is to be able to give Assetto Corsa a breath of fresh air and changes or to makes it looks like a new game.
Go check my project and tell me what do you think!

I have huge plans for the future versions; Let's see if i can reach them on my own.
By the way, the game is a Standalone (separated exe); It can scan every while all the cars you have, and if you install a new one the game autoatically detects it and add it to the dealers.
The new mods will be featured by a Database System (released with 0.0.36) which assign cars to "categories".
I decided to do that on my own because the tags that are present on AC or CM isn't that much accurated, detailed. Also player can easily edit them so i preferred a different way to manage the cars.
And yes, CSP is fully integrated.

I hope I have answered all the questions

Thats the hard work i made in these days. The races are DYNAMIC.
This means that when you Download the pools from the Database, you download "Inner Car Lists" that can partecipate to certain races. (FFChallenge, AWD Challenge, WTCC ....)
These lists allows you to partecipate to that race if you have a valid car for that type of event.
THIS SCRIPT ALSO WORKS FOR AI.
Ai cars are taken randomly from these lists, and if you don't have the car that he's trying to load than it choses another random one. The result is a completely different race everytime you race it.

And how´s the situation of the tracks? Is it currently only possible to race on Kunos tracks? How´s the choice been made here? I think I will start supporting you via patreon, this all sounds very juicy to me.

 

[Sascha Guenther]

Huh! You two are late. Those tracks are already integrated!

What about the other tracks? Possible to choose them as well? I mean, I have 463 tracks currently. How are they implemented?

 

[Sascha Guenther]

Ok. Started the exe, after subscribing to your patreon. All looks very nice and gt-ish to me Nice choice of music as well! Well done so far. One or two issues: when clicking in car dealer screen at "FF Challenge" no car appears; in used cars when clicking on "win cars" the exe does a CTD.

WHOAH!!! Thats great!!!

 

[Sascha Guenther]

LOL the "win cars" is supposed to do exactly that! Just like a 90's virus hahahah.
For the Dealer, be sure that you have Generated car lists and downloaded Pools.

The tracks are static for the moment. There's a special mode called "Daily Events" where you can participate daily events randomly generated with random cars and track chosen from your content. So your modded tracks could appear there.

Thanks for your answer. Ok, maybe not my sense of humor here. Thought it is a bug since you are at 0.036 version....

How about these generated car lists? How do I get them? Furthermore, the pools have been downloaded sucessfully. Kindly note, only at the FF Challenge there are no cars visible in selection screen; the other ones are fine.

 

[0072]

The lists are generated on start. You can also regen them in the Home screen, via "Regen. Lists".
This is useful when you have added some modded cars and you need to update the total ones. (the info inside the home screen.)

Regarding the error: It could be a damaged car that you have and the game loads in that list. Try scanning via CM or try open various dealers; If a Brand have a damaged car it should tell you in the form of a message that a car is messing up.

 

[Sascha Guenther]

@0072 May I ask how the weather / conditions are generated for the races? Currently I always had 6x time multiplier with clear weather. Are the conditions randomly generated? Furthermore it would be good to see the conditions in the selection screen. Also in the car dealer´s page, it would be good to mark the cars you can´t afford at the moment.

fantastic job really great (bravo)

 

[0072]

amazing job btw i think that you should make "public" a part of code just because for ones who have a lot of cars from different patreon for example so they can add their cars by themself instead of waiting patches or maybe release a sort of "injector"

I already create a public excel where you can write the cars that can't partecipate events. I can update that pools pretty fastly

 

[Tempulosus]

Hey really good Mod but for some reason when i got to the Used Dealer i only have 1 mustang for the whole dealer.

 

[Tempulosus]

okay thank you and yes i just had to wait xdd

This is the first concept i put up in photoshop, but it's okay, I'll change mine, is no big deal!

Mi interessa molto il tuo progetto, è davvero un'idea nuova che serviva ad AC da molto tempo!
Con supporto alle mod intendi anche che uno può integrare eventi carriera (quelli nella cartella /assettocorsa/career per intenderci) nel tuo programma in unity? Magari applicando le opportune modifiche ai file, ad esempio permettendo di scegliere fra le auto possedute, ma avvalendosi comunque della struttura dei file .ini!

16st September, so i won?
It is not to be a child but as I said before I care about my project and have been working on it for a long time! (Magari collaboriamo in qualche modo e ti metto nei crediti )

However yes, the project starts with the idea of being extremely customizable and unique for each player. In fact, playing with vanilla content, the events will be populated with vanilla cars otherwise they will be randomly chosen from a pool. It is complex to explain but I hope you understand anyway.

Anyway I didn't think I could directly add custom event tiers but it could be a great idea!
Even if it would lose some of the nature of the game, wouldn't it? The aim is to recreate a Gran Turismo style mood.

First of all this should be inside the game. I did play lots of combat fly sims based on real history and from my POV, it is a real immersion breaker if this software can not be integrated inside the game, especially when using VR. Prefer inside CM!
Second, both as I guess will be based on a fictional storyline, a career from the basic to the F1. I think the potential power could be at the last stage, a career in F1 racing besides historical names like Vettel, Alonso, Verstappen and that other guy driven a Mercedes . Pure as a sample from the actual F1 situation. Personal, I do prefer the classic names like Birkin, Segrave, Nuvolari, Stuck, Caracciola, Rosemeyer, Lang, Fangio, Moss until the 1967 era Hill, Clark etc. But thats only my old taste.

Correct me if I’m seeing this wrong as the video here above is a bit fuzzy on that career aspect.
