Toggleable Autorace + Chase Cam + Better Race Graphics (alpha) 1.2a1

[azilvl]

Hello! First of all, fantastic mod. I love playing this game, but micro managing my racers beyond pit stops was always such a drag for me, so this mod is a huge help.

I did notice one thing with it when I used it. I installed this mod after the first race of the first season, as predator racing. William Evans crashed and got hurt in that first race, so I used the back up driver for the race. However, while I was in the race, the auto drive worked fine for Santa Ana but didn't seem to work at all for the back up driver (Linares). Is this a bug?

glad you liked my mod and thank you for reporting the bug. keep an eye out for the fix

azilvl updated Toggleable Autorace + Chase Cam with a new update entry:

Toggleable Autorace + Chase Cam

• fixed a bug where using the backup driver or playing in endurance series gave the mod a hard time figuring out which driver should be controlled by which buttons.

WOW! This mod is simply great! What you did here is beyond words for me!!!
Thank you so much for this!!!

May i ask if it's possible to make a Toggleable autorace + Chase cam + Perfect Setup with your latest bug fixes? I liked those mechanics at first playing the game, but after a while it becomes a drag to always do the same thing over and over again

Question, is it pretty easy to edit the camera angle using dnspy. On the version with the standard zoom chase cam, I would like to fiddle a little more with the camera angle.
I couldnt find where you made your changes.

2nd I apologize in advance for a non "this mod" question, but I thought you might have a quick answer (if you don't mind)
in the module DriverFormDesignData there is a line: [XmlElement("MaxDriverFormTimeCost")]
public float maxDriverFormTimeCost;
which is responsible for ("maxDriverFormTimeCost": X.XX) in the save game file.
My attempts to change this line make it disappear from the save game file so I think I am on the right track, but I want the code to just spit out a static line ("maxDriverFormTimeCost": 0.35) without any variable references. Should be easy to do right, Im a little green with my coding and I am an idiot

Thanks.

look for the method "UpdateRotationForChaseCam" in "FreeRoamCamera.cs".
the first line is the target rotation angle

I don't have a lot of experience with xml serialization but try this and see if its always 0.35, if not then analyze it and see where it gets assigned to something else.

[XmlElement("MaxDriverFormTimeCost")]
public float maxDriverFormTimeCost=0.35f;

if you have any follow up questions please send them to me as DMs. I'll be happy to answer them.

Hey, Thanks again for all your help. I used DNS spy to get that same bit of code. Didnt really work. But hey now I got a little project to figure out. Im not really a fan of the form system so Im just trying to lessen its effect (right now I do a replace in my save file).

Thanks again for the info. Ill have fun playing with the camera tongiht!
and Thank you again for the mod!

First of all thank you for your work I really like to use your mod, but it would be possible to adapt this mod to fire 2019 mod since they seem incompatible because that mod to work needs to install the same file as yours, if I could do it cool

The author of the mod is usually pretty responsive, so you may get an official answer.
My understanding of the Fire Mod is that the Csharp file they provide is recommended, but not required.
Also note a review written recently:
jfindley1595 Version: 1.1b2
Excellent Mod, Jjust what I was looking for! Works with Fire 18 as well!

So you should be able to use this mod with Fire 18.

 

[Puseido]

it says it very clearly in the description of the mod it is obligatory to install the .dll file, that's why it would be incompatible with the auto race, no?

 

[Mynar]

So according to the steam page:
This download of the FIRE 18 Mod from Steam Workshop contains an optional modded Assembly-CSharp.dll and txt's that you need to run it as intended.

Obviously, Fire18 works best with their DLL. Other users, as I have listed, have stated that they are using this mod with Fire18, so it should work. You will most likely lose some features of the Fire18 mod that are built into their DLL file.

You may find some better answers in discussion forums about the fire mod and what the repercussions are for not using their dll.

 

[Mynar]

One more note for you:
The link below has a detailed list of the features that you get with their dll file.
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1495281210/1733217429058809860/
Otherwise, this mod will work fine.

All that aside, maybe the author would be willing to apply his mod to the fire DLL, if thats what you are hoping for. Heh, you never know

I'm sorry fam I'm so caught up with stuff right now and I don't know anything about that mod. it's unfortunate that there's no official script modding support so we're left to either merge or choose modded dlls.

there's a boolean named useAIForDrivers in ConsoleCommands.cs, change it to 'true'.

Hi, I want to use this mod, but I want to use it alongside The Flaming Red Mod, how do I add your mod without breaking the game and having to reinstall.

Taking a quick glance at the Flaming Red Mod, I think its pretty certain that his mod requires his custom csharp.dll file.
Therefore, this mod will not work with the Flaming Red Mod. You will have to chose one or the other.

Yeah, unfortunately, you would have to choose one of the dll's. tho there might be a collaboration with red in the future.
