SOLVED Help with first mod.

[romania00]

Hello guys! I'm new on the Forum and I'd like to get some help for making my first Assetto Corsa car mod.
The main problem is that the car doesn't load in game (Yes I did read the tutorial) and also, in KSeditor the car
is very small, barely visible. If needed I can upload a log file. I would really appreciate if anyone can help me.

You need to give more details. One has no idea what you did/didn't.

What did you do until now (post screenshots also).

What the problem is (post screenshots)

What have you tried already.

Attach logs.

 

[romania00]

Well when I try to go into a Practice race, the game tries to load the assets, but then it goes back to the main menu. I saw that this is a common problem.

 

[luchian]

Check the wheel dummies. This one in particular:
BLURRED NODE (RIM_LF) WHEELINDEX[0]: CANNOT LOCATE OBJECT

And also, you'd better start with a working sound from another car. It seems there is also a problem there.

 

[romania00]

Yes, I did notice the sound errors. Thing is that the rims and tires are in one model (for the time being). I edited the blured objects ini file and I did a little progress. I'll have to edit the wheel dummies and not all of the textures appear ingame.

 

[romania00]

PS: The car actually has textures,but it's tiny (a little dot).

 

[luchian]

What software are you using ?

You need to normalize the scale.

 

[romania00]

I use 3ds max 2015, but for converting the model for 3ds I used Zmodeler.

 

[luchian]

Max is a bit picky when it comes to scaling (afaik).

So your best shot would be to:
- delete all dummies
- make sure all the part of the model are at scale 1.
- create dummies again.

Also, something similar has been discussed before: https://assettocorsamods.net/threads/car-body-scale-problem-from-3d-max.1302/#post-8968

 

[romania00]

It's slightly bigger,but when comparing with a mod....

 

[luchian]

There is no solution to help you from distance for this.. You need to figure it out what how to make sure everything in the model is at scale 1 (google, youtube). Also units must be meters. Finally, check export settings.

If it's any consolation, basically every car modder has had this issue at least once at some point.. .

@garyjpaterson you work with max, iirc. Maybe you have some suggestion ?

 

[romania00]

Luchian, thank you so much for trying to help me and giving me tips! I hope I can finish the mod at some point.
I'll try to experiment more with it in my free time.

Update:I fiddled with the scale units in 3ds and finaly made it to a normal scale.
