  • Bugfixes

It wasn't simple: before I read information about current showroom status from log.txt, but now acShowroom.exe doesn't write any valuable information and uses some kind of very big buffer for it, so it useless.

Also I have some problems with Steam, so if you have any idea how to start acs.exe properly, I would be happy to hear it. Now I'm using some weird twisted trick and don't quite understand how it works at all.

• 0.3.49
  • Preview generator quality has been reduced back (there is the new option to use PNG, but if you're going to use it, be careful!)
  • Support for 1.3.1
  • Simple race mode (more settings will be in WPF-version)
• 0.3.48
  • LR/HR nodes fixer (enables COCKPIT_HR, disables COCKPIT_LR and etc)
  • Blurred rims fixer (use it when car in showroom has blurred rims)
  • Preview generator quality has been improved
    • Warning! There is a bug in Windows GDI+, which messes up JPEGs even when quality is 100%. So for now app saves preview.jpg as PNG-image. Everything should work fine anyway, but it's still kinda bad. I'll try to find better solution.
  • Shortcuts updated:
    • Ctrl+Alt+A: Update shadows + Update previews in manual mode
    • Ctrl+Alt+S: Update previews in manual mode
    • Ctrl+Alt+D: Update shadows

• 0.3.47
  • Fixed year autoinsert (seriously, one of the most important features was missing because of some stupid typo for so long! by the way, if you don't like it, there is an option to disable it)
  • Fixed cars toggle
  • Custom Showroom: fixed, improved, optimized

Important notice:
I'm going to remake this app using WPF instead of nw.js, with tracks support and everything. Result will be something like this (maybe not so fancy, but much faster, stable and, most important, extendable):

So, this is probably the last version for now, just some bugfixes to make it more usable.

    • By the way, if you know how to shaders work, I would be really glad if you could help me
  • New custom fields: year, country, author, version, url

Version 0.1 was unable to disable cars properly, and AC showed empty undefined manufacturer. Sorry about that, now it's fixed. You'll have to select AC directory again, and now it needs to be the root directory.
