    Im still trying to figure it out but you can use the existing crowd textures by building the mesh and labeling it correctly and using the camera facing ini file. The plane mesh will then generate the crowd based on how its set up in the camera facing ini

    Do the grid/pit red light work in game? I remember they were in GTR2, but no memory about that in AC [​IMG]

    Hello thank you for the guide, I have a problem maybe someone can help me.
    I made a track and all was good, but I decided to remake the road again and when I've done it I felt through it, I've tryed everything but I didn't get to fix anything so I tryed to make a simple road and try.
    I made a simple straight road and everything okey, but when I use the modifier curve and fit the road to a curve (just like I've done with the first road that worked) I pass through it in game

    The name is wrong, the new mesh should be 2ROAD and not 1ROAD.001

    Thank you for the answer
    I've already tryed every name possible 1ROAD 2ROAD ROAD everything, that road of the picture works simply removing the curve modifier, thats the problem, I cannot make a curved road

    1ROAD.001 should be a valid name for the road. as long as you have a number then ROAD anything after that will work.

    I generally name my roads 01ROAD.001, 01ROAD.002 etc and that works fine

    in terms of the curve modifyer, make sure in your fbx export settings you have "apply modifiers" active, as it may be disregarding the modifier on export

    hope that works for you

    Can you zip the blend file up and send it to me to have a look at?

    Also are you sure the kn5 file is referenced in the models.ini file correctly? I had a similar issue where I'd forgotten to change the model number and it had a similar effect

    What if you apply the modifier, and then check the face-normals orientation with this? (disable x-ray for that). If red, then orientation is wrong (inside), blue is correct (outside).

    Other than that, the road-part may just be too long, divide into more parts.

    I'll have a quick look at the file shortly
