Featured TUTORIAL Build your FIRST track - BASIC GUIDE

i have same problem, you were able to fix it? My map I did with sketchup

 

Hello Zak,

You can improve things for number (1) by keeping the ksPerPixelAT shader, and setting the blend mode to eAlphaBlend. Then you need to go to your white line object, and set isTransparent to True. This will have slight performance cost I believe to using the regular AT shader, but should improve the issue with the white line vanishing so abruptly as per your screenshot.

Not sure about no.2, but in Rhino I would probably weld the mesh to make sure the normals are smoothed between the faces, however I'm not sure in Blender what would be the right approach myself.

John.

 

Hello All
i have a Big Problem and i have never this bug ,
mabey anyone can help me

The error itself is very self explanatory... looks like didnt export the AI spawn objects.

 

i will try to made just one pit . thanks

 

You need at least 1 pit and 1 starting grid spawn object I believe

 

If yore doing this one pit, rename it to AC_PIT_0 not AC_PIT_1

 

Hi, I hope someone could throw some light on this problem. I have already all the minimum elements for a basic track I´m developing. Everything works excepting the intermediate timers (ac_time_xxx objects).
Those are empties in Blender, named properly, placed above the track surface, etc... I can´t figure out why it´s not working. I attach the blend file in case someone want to take a look.
Thanks in advance.

 

assign an image texture to the materials Material.006 and Material.007
though you didnt say whats not working exactly

edit:

then use "Open":


edit2:
guardrails have asfalto assigned too, remove:

 

you have to export with 0.01 scale
edit: as working track folder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xpNUERuMC4ptVFS2zMIh5ctFir5Lxj5x/

 

The textures assigned are irrelevant, everything works as expected. I will take care of the texturing later. The problem is that the intermediate timing objects don´t work.
About the exporting, I tried to export first at 0.01 scale, but the track got microscopic. I export using the "All to FBX" option checked.
If you export it to kseditor and save as track, you´ll see the intermediates don´t work, and that´s the problem. I don´t know why it happens like that.

 

i got timed after a lap, maybe intermediates work when ai line is done

 

It´s weird because I remember from another tracks I started, the intermediates work from the beginning in practice sessions, but partial timings or delta are not working here. I think I will let it be until I create the ai line.

 

So... another question:
I managed to place crosswalks in the track. Simple planes placed on top of the tarmac, uvmapped and textured with a png with transparent background.
Once in KsEditor, the object and texture looks ok and it also catches the transparency from the png, but in game, it looks terrible. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind, I´ve found that using the tree shader it works as expected

 

Don’t use PNG, use DDS with alpha channel.

And don’t use the tree shader for road lines, you’ll have problems later

 

Using DDS will solve that problem? Can I open DDS as textures in Blender?
About the tree shader: I see that the diffuse doesn´t react to dark/bright, it looks the same overall, I guess that´s how cardboard trees should work. What would be the procedure for this? Just using DDS?

 

DDS and correct shaders, yes.

 

Well, no luck at all. I replaced my textures with DDS dxt5 files and placed them into "texture" folder. Same results.
The crosswalk texture is set as perpixel shader, with alpha blending mode enabled.

 

If u use normal map for the other texture, try to apply it to the crosswalk texture

 

No, the tarmac texture is all flat, there´s no normal map. For some reason, the transparency in game appears as flat grey, don´t know why.
