Hey Guys, im no realy sure how to setup Ai trafic, i chose the full loop, went on trackday, chose my cars, and then the game crashes with the error ai spine missing or broken. Thanks
Not sure why that would be... These are only for Pacific Coast 0.95. Make sure you delete any existing pacific_coast folder before installing 0.95... And I'd recommend you only use quick race (as the AI start off nicely spaced out, which will limit their blind overtaking attempts)
On the next Pacific Coast update... I will be combining all the layouts into the main download... and limiting the AI to a maximum of around 85mph.
Thanks... Unfortunately there isn't a way... would be cool if there was though. The only way to have a race through traffic would be to spread the word about any server and get enough people in it, to act as regular traffic. The Freeroam layout that comes with this addon has 50 pit boxes spread all along the road for this reason.
It all depends what start position you choose... as all the start boxes are spread across the road... approx there should be a car every km... I've had to limit the amount of AI for 2 reasons...
1. CPU usage
2. To give the AI space... If they close up on the car in front
they will blindly overtake causing accidents. If the AI get stuck in an accident this seems to increase CPU usage even further.
Assetto wasn't made to do traffic, and as such the AI aren't looking ahead for oncoming traffic, as you don't have oncoming cars on a race track.
When I combine these addon layouts into the main track download.. I will be adding a speed limit of 80 - 90mph to the cars which will help improve things. But there will always be a limit to what can be done.
I'm only testing at the moment, refining things... So that I don't drive 46km's on the full loop... only to find out something doesn't work and then have to re-do it all again... Bearing in mind it takes 20 minutes for a full "lap" and then a further 30 - 40 minutes for the AI line to save. It will be slightly shorter on the South Loop, but still... Loads of time.
At least it's not like the North and South "race" AI lines where I have to record a flat out, clean, consistent line for 23km's :D
Eventually there will be 3 layouts, North, South and Full
But I haven't got the time spare to do them all at the moment mate. A project the size of Pacific Coast is going to take time.
These AI lines are not my top priority atm... The actual track is :)
This is just an early version so people can test it out.
I've also tried to use Esotics AI tool for the edges and for some reason it doesn't define the edges properly atm.
Create a Custom Championship...
1. Pick the PCH - Traffic Loop North
2. Pick your own car... Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche etc.
3. Pick slower cars... Like... Mazda Miata, Abarth 500, Alfa Giulietta, Audi S1... As the AI
4. Go to the handicap section...
Add 200kg ballast and 100% restrictor, to the 1st car.
Move your mouse under the Red number 1... Click on the = sign when it appears... It then adds that handicap to all cars...
Remove the handicap from your own car.
5. Save the Championship when you get it how you want...
Click Compete button...
Drop the AI to 80%, Aggression to 0%
Start Engine... Skip session to the "Race"
Thanks mate, really glad it works well for you :)
There can be some random... incidents.... but sometimes even they add to the experience... Sometimes they're extremely comical too :D
Thanks for the review and feel free to comment in the support section about what cars work well... and settings that keep the traffic moving.
Hope the AI traffic contunue to behave well.
On the next Pacific Coast update... I will be combining all the layouts into the main download... and limiting the AI to a maximum of around 85mph.
