Featured TUTORIAL Build your FIRST track - BASIC GUIDE

Hey Dado
Don't forget to uniform the scale on all your edited objects (CTRL+A >> Apply Scale).
Also - check your FBX export settings.

 

IF it's directly created as 10m x 1m no need for uniformisation. But if you modify it (for example from 10 to 12m or whatever) then the scale is no longer 1:1:1 and you need to do the CTRL+A thing. Notice the scale parameter in the attached screenshots.

 

Until I remember how to measure the actual bezier curve, this is what I would do .

Go into top view (press 7 on the keypad)
Create a cube and modify it to fit between the blue lines
Look into the right panel and see its dimensions
Let's suppose it has 1.2 m. That means that your scale factor is 50/1.2=41.66
Now select the bezier curve and enter this scale factor manually in the right block (x, y, z)


Then CTRL+A > Apply Scale.
Done.

 

Hi there Marius, welcome to the forums .
Glad you find it useful, comments like yours make it even more.

 

Hi @sunfffd , thank you and welcome
Absolutely, AC does support A-to-B tracks.
Small differences in the spawn points naming (..should add this to the guide):
AC_AB_START_L, AC_AB_START_R
AC_AB_FINISH_L, AC_AB_FINISH_R
Keep the same naming for pit spawn points
Keep the same naming for hotlap start spawn point
No starting grid.

So fire-up the 3d package and start building

 

Yes, it will work for sure. There are different methods to import terrain into Blender (or other 3D package). You can see another method described HERE, by our expert user @liquido .

And soon enough, an almost automatic tool - HERE .

But until then, go ahead with your method, it will give a decent result, no doubt.
Good luck, keep us posted .

 

Yes, I have seen that in the first video you've posted. I must admit it does look good though .
Show us the mesh, show us the mesh, show us the mesh ! (peasant voice fading away..)

offtopic: can't believe there's still ppl using IE

 

Hey @QuadCoreMax , welcome to the forums.

1/ AC_POBJECT_suffix
2/ you need to use ksFlags shader and they will autmatically be animated
3/ For cameras to work, you first need to define an AI line. See HERE.
Then for cameras, you should use the SDK Editor to define them, or use THIS quick&dirty solution (but will not have best results).

 

Updated first post with some additional info. More updates soon(tm).

 

Technically, the groove, it's just another layer to be added over your tracks surface (like skid marks). Why ? The groove is used to actually give the track some "life", being dynamic with the advancement of the race. It's used to show the ideal line, which is darker due to being used more (hence more rubber particles on it).

If you would like to affect the way it behaves, you can do so by adjusting the parameters inside the groove.ini under \assettocorsa\content\tracks\yourtrack\data\

Parameters: There is a min value, a max value, and a stepping. Play with these and I'm sure you'll get what you are looking for. I would suggest not to cancel it all together, but maybe just to start with a higher min value .
NOTE: you can define multiple groove zones for your track if you wish - just define each behavior in the groove.ini.

For the second question, I am not sure there is a method to do that in the editor.. I *think there is a map.png generated automatically by the game it self (if none is present) but it will be according to the ideal line and not the track itself.
Best way (afaik) is to do an ortho render from above in your 3d software package.
