Project CARS Modding Questions & WIP

[crowtrobot]

Thanks to JDougNY for the files and tech support!

For those that don't frequent the Official Forums, I've put out a first release of the Custom Grid Tool that allows users to pick and choose cars for the grid in Solo Quick Race. See thread here:

Cheers.

@ Anyone that is interested

Here's something to play with....
Download link for Pcars Modding unlocker for patch 7.0 by me ..... http://www.mediafire.com/download/fu0o3n23o789sus/PCARS_Modding_Unlocker_JDougNY_Patch7.0.rar
NOTE: for 64 bit executable only. I can supply 32 bit version, if anyone is actually running 32 bit.
Also, included in the Mod are translations for physics files by Shiimis and by me. The Shiimis translations are formatted for a Python script....it may be more readable to open those files with an XML editor. My translations are similar to my old S2U method.

Dear @JDougNY

I'm one of those who runs the game at 32bit...at 64bit I have a weird stuttering problem.

Is it possible to provide a 32bit version fo your unlocker?

Anyway, thank you very much

Emerson

Hello there !

I'm releasing a mod that enables lights on AI cars even in daylight time !
There is two different versions :

- AI Lights ( bad weather ), only adds lights on AI car and on track spotlights for foggy, rainy, stormy weahters.
- AI Lights ( all weathers ), does the same plus add only car lights during clear,overcast,cloudy weathers

For this to work, you'll need JDougNY unlocker :
32bits:

Again, I'd like to thank a big big time JDougNY for its work. he really opened the doors for all the modders and maybe now we can try to acheive some nice things with this game.

But without his efforts, we'd still be stuck. So thanks a lot

I like this mod: quite useful in bad weather. Thank you!

Thank you very much for pCARS Modding Unlocker, JDougNY.
Since NFS SHIFT, you've always made the SMS modding possible. And I sincerely appreciate you for your continued support for the community!

Thanks for this Mod, M4MKey.
One of the strange things in pCARS is/was No AI Headlights in bad weather conditions.
But thanks to your Mod, I can solve it finally.
Thanks again!

(P.S.)
The Mod works great in Replay Mode. I can watch the old replays with AI Headlights ON.
Thank you!

Thanks to people who find it nice
I'm strugling on some audio improvements for the game and I'd like to undertand .csd files for the vehicles a little bit more.
Like... Is there anyway to go beyond the value="1" limit ? In F32 type string I don't think so...

If anyone has good knowledge on this, I'd gladly have a talk with him

 

[Jerec]

Yes, the engine sounds of many cars are very poor! Does somebody know to edit or change them?

 

[JDougNY]

New engine sounds are created using Fmod, along with having the sound samples, of course.

 

[seamount]

are there old F1 mods for the '70 ?
i see lotus 72 but i mean "historic" championship with the period cars, like tyrrell 002, march, brm etc

As far as I know the only mod being worked on for project cars is a 2015 Audi R8 GT3.

 

[MacPhisto]

Did any of you guys have some luck towards unpacking track related files or gaining info on adding tracks?
I have to admit that my attempt to add a car failed so far and couldn't even succeed to show up in the list. So it needs a lot more effort from my side.

Bootfiles for patch 8 have been updated by Autoprophets already: here.

Well, mostly, but not quite. The necessary files for manipulating the livery selection aren't there. I think us modders should have a discussion about establishing a baseline so everyone and their mother aren't making releases. JDougNY's release was quite thorough and a good place to start from for others.

 

[gvse]

Well, so far only Autoprophets and JDougNY have been able to unlock boot files so I am not in a position to discuss anything. Unlocking and renaming those files is a difficult and tedious process so I am thankful when each time there's an update someone unlocks the game. With monthly updates from SMS we are fortunate the files are there at all.

Updated Unpacked Boot Files for 8.0, found here in the official forum

Double post, sorry.. Didn't check the previous posts as I didn't get notifications for new replies :$

I agree that it's good that the releases are there. My point is that I've got a potential stand-alone package for the Custom Grid mod put together, but after discussing with JDougNY, I am hesitant to put it out, as it will get confusing very quickly once more people figure out or learn the unpack/sorting process and everyone's release has a different set of plugins that may or may not work together.
