Cars Porsche 911 (993) Turbo 1.1
- Thread starter A3DR
- Start date
Oh my, imagine what a Singer Turbo would be like 
Probably a lot like a PorscheOh my, imagine what a Singer Turbo would be like
Oh, you can pick Arch's physics for the CTR-1... and let him and Ben work instead on the 240Z after they're done with current stuffOh my, imagine what a Singer Turbo would be like
I always thought there was sth off about the rear of the turbo. It turns out that the shape of the bumper is considerably different. Same is true for the base carrera, although the discprapency there is much less pronounced.
Sure, there is always something if you really look for it. But A3DR’s cars are as perfect as they come imho. There is no reason to point out such differences in terrible forza’s models, as they are pretty casual in their overall formThere's a bunch of stuff a bit off, but oh well, I'm not gonna nitpick unless A3DR wants me to.
All cars in all sims have something off if you really push pennies. Except maybe GTS' scanned ones.
But here it’s another story. Also I don’t just nitpick. I only try to highlight issues that change an overall feel of the car if you know what I mean. I would notice an incorrect stance but probably not a misplaced side blinker or wiper
P.S. Even gts’ scanned supra has a wrong offset on the rear rim.

I don't mind getting corrected, in fact I appreciate when someone cares enough and takes the time to point out any mistakes, showing exactly where the issue is. Is not like receiving a 2 star rating saying "this model is way off".
So feel free to point out anything that might look wrong or out of place, as long as it is within reason I'll take care of it eventually. In this particular case I'm not looking forward to get back on it in the near future, since we had to deal with these 4 cars together (C2, C4, Turbo, S1) for quite a while, so it's not in my list of priorities for now.

Thank you for the nice car. For the issues with stopping diastance and turn-in understeer the cure is brake balance of 0.55 front.
I tried my hand at making lods B and C for both bodies and here's what came out:

If anyone wants working check engine light, handbrake, ABS off and high beam dashboard lights, add this to ext_config.ini:
This should work on all 993s (and doesn't require mesh splitting!)
Code:
[INCLUDE: common/custom_emissive.ini]
[CustomEmissiveMulti]
Meshes = INT_gauges_lights
UseEmissive0AsFallback = 0
Resolution = 2048, 2048
@ = AlphaFromTxDiffuse
@ = DashHighlight
@ = MultiItem, Role = HIGHBEAM, Center = "1004.7, 522", Size = 70
@ = MultiItem, Role = DashWarningABS, Center = "268.6, 702.2" , Size = 77
@ = MultiItem, Role = HANDBRAKE, Center = "355.8, 701.7" , Size = 77
@ = MultiItem, Role = DashWarningEngine, Center = "178.5, 718.8", Size = 77This should work on all 993s (and doesn't require mesh splitting!)
Nice, I see what you did there. Took coordinates from the texture to locate each light and map it to a function. Couple of questions:
Is it possible to change the color of each light or is it predetermined in custom_emissive.ini and it cannot be changed?
Where exactly did you get the values like "HIGHBEAM" or "DashWarningABS"? I figure there would be more options as well.
I see that you managed to make the digital display on the Turbo to actually work, that'll be cool to have too.
Meanwhile until you get proper answers, I'll try to help with a few as I've been trying to figure some of this lately:
1)
you'll just need to specify color to override the preset, if the masking works
2) Bottom of this page (link)
Using the patch Object Inspector app while in session, you can directly select a mesh (alt click) and then on the texture tab click on the small square to open it. I'll then be displayed in a way that you can click or drag to copy to clipboard coords or areas to help setting those emissives.
Two examples of configs of this kind made by x4fab are the ruf_yellowbird and bmw_e30_m3 (note the hazard color code cluster). Those two cars are usually the first to be updated with latest features.
Both were previously using an external kn5 for new dash and outside lights mesh cutouts, but recently they have been converted to config-only.
Edit: If it interests you, you can also now have DI_ stuff where you can manipulate an indexed item on digital_instruments (like a properly positioned placeholder), and then make it output anything else like new patch only stuff, and/or reformat within certain constraints (pe, I've sent aphidgod a trick to convert the existing Cº into Fº by manipulating the output (x1.8 +30, iirc), so as setting the clock to show 12h instead 24h). DI_ usage (link), DI_ input types (link).
Analog odometers aren't set in a much different way than the above, but instead you set the area to draw (relative to the texture coord on assigned mesh), instead of assigning it to an existing/formated digital instrument.
This is a quickish example for this car, which I've tried to overlap to the existing texture font.The small part of the old dials texture still showing at the top unfortunately is in another mesh, so it won't be covered. Hopefully it should be easy to figure:
For all other formatting stuff, you can check on the car configs doc, so you can add a different background color to the 100m dial on a trip counter with LAST_DIGIT_ parameters , etc. The above overlayed odometer will also be rendered over the texture mapped on that mesh under the Objects Inspector app, which helps a lot.
*To add a note here, I think the proper way to do it would be to just have the "size" fitting the texture area it replaces (with untouched 1,1 scale, and position pointing to exact top left point), which maintains the same resolution look, or maybe with just a bit of bleed, because it also suffers from Z flicker on big maps, then just adjust number_width and play with FONT_OFFSET and FONT_SCALE to align digits (*note: these are undocumented on the car configs doc, but found on the yellowbird config).
On the example above, for I maintained the original font, I resorted to stretching stuff vertically with scale to have a better font overlap over the original numbers instead, as just manipulating digit width wasn't enough to approach the original lighter font look and kerning. I hope there are more elegant ways to do this, but it's not usually a concern other than getting just formatting/colors right.
To add a digital trip one where 170.7 is on a texture, you'd have to set at least a placeholder index=# via digital_instruments afaik, then remove those numbers (on the texture) and leave just the "km" if you don't wish to format another placeholder for two chars. Then if aligned to the right without leading zeros (to add you'd use 03.1), it'd go as:
If aligned to the left, it'd be like the subaru one on public release.
*To add a note here, it's better to have the placeholders for odometers aligned to the right, so you can have the option of using leading 0s or not, while if to the left you'll be forced to use them.
I hope I'm wrong, and there's a new fancy way to add it without a pre-existing guide index on the digital_instruments.ini.
edit: removed an extra count line in the code above

MOVEMENT_INTERVAL = 5 ; this sets the last digit to advance in whole units, w/ 1 it would rotate freely; you'd add OUTPUT_MULT=10|MOVEMENT_INTERVAL = 1 if it also had a 100m digit like trip odos do.

HIGHBEAM, DashWarningABS and others are all input values supported by CSP, all supported ones are listed here: https://github.com/ac-custom-shaders-patch/acc-extension-config/wiki/Cars-–-Instruments-inputs
The digital display can't be made to work with a simple config sadly, I had to remove the 170.7 km texture from your model, add a dummy and use digital_instruments.ini to add a speedometer.
A protip I wish I knew sooner: if you ever find yourself creating config files for these functions, use CSP's object inspector app. Getting texture coordinates, sizes, names, resolutions etc. is an insanely quick process with that.
Np, glad to be of help. I've just added a few notes and a missing spoiler image to the previous post.
Maybe you could do some streams while you modify things, sometimes is much easier than making a tutorial.Np, glad to be of help. I've just added a few notes and a missing spoiler image to the previous post.
Just a thought. This goes also for @hbs18
But I understand it demands some extra time usually
OT: I'd have to sort my own workflow properly as even posts like the previous are a mess to read, and can't even reach tutorial status.
Stuff like the above, being directed to A3DR (also as a thanks for all he's given to the community), is just meant for someone with solid knowledge to quickly pick on the example and (mostly) to improve upon.
As with everything csp related, I'm not even sure if I'm sharing the best practices, so ATM I prefer to refrain from sharing a-z tutorials/streams as I'm by no means an authority on the matter, specially for how much base/pipeline knowledge+practice I'm lacking.

These things are a pain , thanks for bothing to include them. It looks like there's a small issue with the main odometers in the last update :
For what I've seen on 993 TT pictures the "LAST_DIGIT_BACKGROUND_" lines should be removed (so all digits become black, as there's no 0.1km dial), then set MOVEMENT_INTERVAL = 5 (instead of 1), so it jumps digits for whole kms in the last number (this is usual for a main odometer when there's a separate trip for smaller units).
like this:
On cars (usually) without a trip counter that use something like 6+1 on the main_odometer, which then have the last one for every 100m rotating freely with different color, then you'd add (and change count= + width adjustments if needed):
LAST_DIGIT_BACKGROUND = 1, 1, 1
LAST_DIGIT_COLOR = 0, 0, 0
MOVEMENT_INTERVAL = 1
OUTPUT_MULT=10 ; because main_odometer expects it ending in km, not 0.1km like _trip at = 1
If a km>miles conversion is required, you'd then use OUTPUT_MULT = 0.6213712 (instead of default 1) or OUTPUT_MULT = 6.213712 instead of 10 when applicable in examples like the spoiler above. Fortunately these Turbos are Euro spec!
I hope it's more clear, and not too much of a bother
All good with the new digital trip! I'll have now a blast with a Signal Green S2 in the Canyons uphill on Iroha
