Hello All
i have a Big Problem and i have never this bug ,
mabey anyone can help me
im working on a new track , version v1 is all fine ,
but now i updatet the track , just some edits with texture
i export to Ks editor , is all fine all pist fine nothing wat can made this error
this coming in a smal window
AC ran into a critical error:

CANNOT HAVE 0 CARS IN RACE.INI

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

i will try to made just one pit . thanks

 

[Johnr777]

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

 

[PAQUITO]

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.

 

[fughettaboutit]

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:

 

[fughettaboutit]

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

 

[PAQUITO]

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.

 

[fughettaboutit]

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

View attachment 7400

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.

 

[PAQUITO]

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.

 

[PAQUITO]

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.

 

[Weezy]

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

 

[PAQUITO]

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.

Maybe the face is other way, you can check that in blender or whatever u r using.
Also, maybe try to download any random normal map, and try it on. Maybe that helps?

I´ve checked. The normals of that geometry are facing up, as they should. It´s maybe some issue with the export of the dds of maybe the settings in the shader inside kseditor... don´t know.
