Patriots' Park continued with a few of the auxiliary buildings:

Looking good! The MP4/6 completes it!

No idea how to do such a thing (yet)

The way I would do it:

Make a half sphere for the round section, and a rectangle for the antenna part, shape it a bit to match.

Make a front view render of the high poly object, on a solid background. use that as the texture for all sides.

Add alpha channel, done

Very good idea !
Then how do I parameter it to be shown from afar with this LOD then have it pop up as the full thing when I get near it ?

That's done in kseditor itself. You change the mesh settings of any meshes you want to change, where LOD IN and LOD OUT are the distances in metres.

E.g. you could set the meshes relating to the high poly object to LOD IN = 0 and LOD OUT = 200. Then you could set the low poly meshes to LOD IN = 199 and LOD OUT = 2500. Those are examples only and you'll have to tweak them to look right on your track.

You may have noticed in the example there's a 1m overlap between the meshes. I've found that if you set them to be the same number there's sometimes an obvious disappearance and reappearance. There may be a better way of doing it that I'm not aware of.

Also if you have several submeshes in your objects, it might be easier to use the batch setting replace tab in kseditor to set the objects' individual meshes all at once.

I'm still very new to this so if someone wants to suggest a better way of doing it, feel free.

That's pretty much what I was going to say!

Just a very quick update, I've not stopped this track although things are a bit slow recently:

 

[EKO Sim-Racing]

Hi all, I'm tearing my hair out a bit:
- I'm using 3dsmax
- I'm doing my AI
- all my dummies have the Zaxis pointing forward, and the Y axis upward, just like in the tuto (I'm in object local axis view, so they're for sure pointing in these directions):

I made my AI, pit and fast lines.

Wanna boot into the race, and here's what happens:
At t=0 seconds (nobody moves, cars just humping themselves to death) a,d the 2 blue Williams mofos and Mclaren should start way back where the others are mingling in front of the pitwall...

then cars just blend within themselves...

One car automatically retires to the pits (oh yeah, he's fine! and pointing in the right direction)

I've done the AI 3 times and still get the same result.

Anybody got an idea how to resolve this ?

 

[LilSKi]

Likely your edge lines are all screwed up. Those are the red lines when the AI app is open. You will need to use ai line helper on Rd or make your own boundaries in 3ds and export in csv

 

[EKO Sim-Racing]

Ok will try that immediately thank you @LilSKi

 

[EKO Sim-Racing]

Ok, I'm supposed to enable it in the general settings; did that, and it doesn't appear even if i go into the UI on the right with all the apps.. am I doing something wrong ?

 

[fughettaboutit]

you have a system folder in "...steamapps\common\assettocorsa\apps\python" ?

and in "Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\gameplay.ini" there should be this:
[PYTHON]
ENABLE_PYTHON=1

Yup:

and YUP:

still not showing :/

Also have this inside my CM:

And this is all I have ingame:

What CM version are you using? Mine doesn’t have such an interface (see my post at 6.59PM today)

 

[fughettaboutit]

this is my CM with version, 0.8.1976.36095, i think it only looks different, i changed ui size and accent color

 

[fughettaboutit]

if you dont have a file
"assettocorsa\apps\python\system\acsys.py"
its here in attachment, its the whole system folder in
"assettocorsa\apps\python\"

if still not working, please open vanilla ac (beware of he 500 car limit of it)

and activate the python apps there in options-general, i hope that fixes it

ps: something strange here on the forum: some pictures not loading?

Ok i’m checking now
