BLM Car - shaders patch car related functions (rain, wipers, mirrors, car repositioning)

Hey all,
I thought about it and I'm splitting BLM Lights into two apps:

• BLM Lights (this one)
• BLM Car (this new one)

I'm moving all the car related functions (the new window I introduced in BLM Lights 1.7) to this new app.

This way, those who just want to have the shaders car related functions don't have to also enable the...

@Usus Gecko do you need support? Or you're fine with your one star review?

In next 1.2 update, smooth rain changes

Also, new compact mode and new icon for mirror as monitor on/off

 

[Blamer]

Blamer updated BLM Car with a new update entry:

Added Compact Interface, smooth rain changes

• ver. 1.2
  • Added a new compact interface

• Set it from Content Manager's BLM Car options

​

• Now it switches to a new random rain level by little steps, making it smoother, so from rain 0 to rain 1 it takes 10 steps

...​

I can't get the interfaces for BLM Lights or BLM Car to appear (in VR). They aren't in the apps sidebar out on the track even though both of them are ticked in Settings.
Any ideas?
I actually have TWO BLM Lights in settings/activated apps.
I'm on the latest shader patch.

Hmmmm, that's really weird.
I would close cm, delete all apps from cfg/python.txt open the ac launcher and enable apps from there

This is what's currently in there - I haven't deleted anything yet.

Did you mean apps/python? This is what's in there:

Opening the AC launcher isn't an option - it just hangs. Too many car mods, probably.

Awesome work - downloaded and started enjoying this today. Thanks. Question - is It possible to enable a variant of the mod to work with open top cars - putting rain spray as if on a crash helmet.. that would be another level and make the open wheelers an incredible experience. keep up the great work - keeping Assetto Corsa alive ;0) its brilliant in VR, hence the call out for rain effect for open top vehicles. ***** five stars

henter and x4fab are the ones who are developing the shaders patch, should they implement such function (it has already been asked) I'm surely going to add it to the app. (and I'm so looking forward to that too, being myself a VR user too!)
Thanks for your words!

I finally found a few minutes of time to ... try rain on a wet track with your app, Blamer ... and it's a real blast one !
Superbly done and great addition of course. !

Just missing a possible wheel button command for the wipers ... but I guess it's an option that might follow maybe in a future Content Manager update ? ( mouse when driving is not real good option ).

I noticed that choosing the quick speed for wipers in case of random rain allowed to automatically set the right speed for them according to the rain fall.... except after a short period with no rain, where only the wipers low speed was back and needed to be accelerated manually if needed for a harder rain.
I suppose the only option for the moment is .... not allow the wipers to stop if no rain ?

Anyway great job ... it adds so much to AC ! Thanks for your work.

In next update I'm setting the wiper speed back to what it was before the 'no rain'
I'll include a wiper hotkey in case Ilja won't do it

Great app, mate!
Everything works for me, aside for the mirrors. Can't turn them on, whether it's modded or kunos cars. Anything I could have missed?

To be able to move mirrors they have NOT to be in 'monitor' mode (where you don't see car's shape)

 

[gergerger]

Oh... I can't change the 'monitor' setting either. Everything else (wipers, lightning, etc) working fine with the whole BLM package. But thanks for heading me in the right direction!

EDIT: I see I need an app called "acc ext mirrors". Already have the "Shader extension mirrors". Checked the #updates-download section in the discord channel: all I can find is the Lights patch. Got the latest one, yet the acc ext mirror app doesn't show up.

(Nevermind: got myself an issue with the wet option, already solved it)

you don't need AccExtMirror

 

[gergerger]

you don't need AccExtMirror

Wow, solved it! in the smart_mirror config file, REAR MIRROR was disabled. Just changed that line, and BOOM magic! Now I have control over the monitor button. Thanks dude!

Blamer updated BLM Car with a new update entry:

wipers restart with previous speed

ver. 1.2.1

• After stopping if NO RAIN, wipers restart with previous speed
• Some messages inform you that in order to make changes to mirrors, these MUST NOT be set as MONITORS (if you don't see the car in the mirror you can't make changes)
• Something else I don't remember...

Should you ever wanted to offer me a (cold) beer ...

I have the newest version of Shaders patch, and the most newest version of this app, but I cant get the mirrors to work, or know how they work in game. could I get help with that?

Hey,
I don't know if you already got help form discord channel.
Have you DISABLED shaders patch before updating it?
Are you driving form within the car (is the switch to change mirror enabled)?
Have you tried with vanilla kunos cars?
