rfactor 2 - jeu + updates BUILD 125

Tim Wheatley
Hi folks,

Firstly, thank you for helping us to test rF2.

Second, we're putting out an update today, build 60, don't rename it (it has a funny name) or it won't work.

Automatic updating will NOT be available for a few days. You'll need to download the exe to your rF2 data directory, and put it in the updates dir, for me this is located at: C:\Users\Tim\Documents\rFactor2\Updates - After placing it there, run the launcher, go to the update tab and click the one grey button available to you. It should detect the update. Click it again to run the installer.

I have posted a changelog [URL="http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/1396-Downloads-(Installer-ISI-cars-tracks-Templates)?p=47806&viewfull=1#post47806"]here[/URL].

Again, rF2 is a test version and will remain so after this update. With this in-mind I have reset all the bug report forums as a blank canvas for you to post reports about this build ONLY. If something is still a problem from build 49, please link to a build 49 post in the [URL="http://isiforums.net/f/forumdisplay.php/42-Build-49-Archive"]archive[/URL], but make a new post about it in the [URL="http://isiforums.net/f/forumdisplay.php/60-Bug-Reports-Problems"]fresh bug report forums[/URL].

There will also be some content (rfmods) coming, but I've not yet confirmed when.

Here is the update TORRENT: [ATTACH]1198[/ATTACH]
We haven't done much seeding yet, so would appreciate your help there.

Thanks,

Tim.

Implemented 1st round of VERY basic wet weather tire logic.
Now always simulating a lap once for every car to get fuel, time, and minimum speed for track (to improve AI pit strategy).
Made AI slower at 70% by not only reducing their grip (was already being done) but also cutting a bit of speed off corners on top of that when figuring.
Made AI cars more likely to pass another car in the straight if given the opportunity.


GAMEPLAY:

Added controller.ini variable "Off-road multiplier" at least until we have proper soft terrain physics modeling.
Changed default for "Keyboard Layout Override" in controller.ini to 1 which seems to work better most of the time.
Added new controller.ini option "Use Keyboard Rates For Analog" which allows gamepad users to intentionally delay the response time of their twitchy inputs.
Added controller.ini variable "Use Hardware Additional Features" to control whether we play G27 LEDs, for example. Actually that's the only example right now.

OTHER OPTIMIZATIONS
----------------------------
Various collision optimizations, including better automatic LODs for trackside collidable objects.

Tracking power loss in tire tool.

Build 69. Quick fix to 68.

Update to yesterdays build. Fixes two issues:
Plugins were limited to 1 which caused crashing when you had more. And that 1 was normally taken by the track ir, so any other plugin was failing.
Joining of any server not running the GT mod was broken, now you can join anything again.

We released an update to the plugin, which included a new feature to activate movable wings... I wonder what that could be for?

Have a good weekend,

-- Tim

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in getting this notification to you today.

This afternoon we put out Build 85 of rFactor2. Notes on this build are below. In addition to the new build which updates the software engine, we also released a brand-new rfmod file for the 'Formula Masters' - which are open-wheel race cars similar to 2011-spec F1 cars - and updates to all of our other series. IMPORTANT NOTE: All content must be updated for this to work. There is zero supported backwards compatibility for the files. This means you need Build 85, and you need the latest update of every ISI car/track rfmod file.

We are intending to make HTTP and AUTO UPDATE capability active tomorrow (Thursday). At this time all the files are only available via torrent clients and MANUALLY UPDATING. Download location: [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

HTTP links and torrents are all posted in the [URL="http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/1396-Downloads"]downloads thread[/URL].

Should be on auto update in a few days, as usual.

We have worked hard to get this out today, and missed update of the readme.txt file with the new notes. We decided not to rebuild the installer just for that and waste time, so we will insert it next time along with the next builds notes.

I put these notes together just from what I could find... It gives you the main info, which is mainly prep for the F2 and bug fixes.

UPDATE 7 (Build 107) Changelog (August 29, 2012):

================================================== ===
UPDATE 9 (Build 124) Changelog (November 30, 2012):
================================================== ===

GRAPHICS:
—————————
Improved lighting in car paint shaders
Fixed a bug with generating bboxs for procedural meshes, which was causing problems with shadows
Leaf wind now working again in shaders
HDR profiles are again active; packaged profiles will be auto loaded from track component mas files; user-defined profiles are loaded from Player\Settings\track_layout dir
HDR profiles can be loaded from the Settings menu in the real-time monitor
prevent ‘Auto Detail FPS’ from LOD’ing the currently viewed vehicle
Added support for loading user shaders
Attempt to improve LOD level flashing while regulating frame rate
Re-enabled transparency AA setting
Fixed issue with visual tire wear on AI vehicles

GAMEPLAY:
—————————-
Fixed/changed behavior where we wouldn’t use weather settings unless you had actually visited the weather settings page; this was confusing so we always use your saved weather settings now.
Made track-cutting thresholds configurable in the GDB.

PHYSICS:
—————————-
Fixed some RealRoad setting issue and uninitialized data if file couldn’t be read. Note that we had to add a checksum to RealRoad files so the format has changed slightly.
AI:
—————————-
fixed a bug where AI ignored pit strategy needs while out on track.
fixed issue of AI cars constantly trying to pit for tires if the only tire compound available is a wet road compound.
added two new variables for AI to the RCD files “UnderSteerEffectOnThrottleMulti” which you can raise higher than 100 if you want AI to more quickly get off throttle when he detects understeer & “UnderSteerEffectOnLineMulti” which you can raise lower than 100 if you want AI to more quickly adjust line wide when he detects understeer.
hopefully improved AI trainer tendency to spin on high speed corners by lengthening distance we look ahead for disappearing road and slowing rate of lateral movement based on how much lower than 1.0 new RCD parameter “UnderSteerEffectOnLineMulti” is.

UI / HUD:
—————————-
added code that hopefully prevents un-selectable (according to the veh file) cars being selectable
fixed event picking bug when a MOD with multiple updates has multiple versions of some events
fixed bug in HUD editor that had mismatched global parameters.
Made RFM picker scroll in when ARAC button is selected.
fixed extra character being drawn for newlines in the garage notes
Add selectable HDR profiles to settings page
Added a new Options Button to select “All Tracks & Cars”. Also removed “All Track & Cars” mod from the spinner.
Added version numbers to RFM, VEH, & track selection gizmos.
Fix for showroom not loading first time through
added gizmo to off-line player monitor page that lets you pick specific AI to add to game.
made the “leave track” gizmo from the maximized monior page into a new gizmo type that hides itself if no in the dedicated replay mode.
changed the vehicle labels font to a true type font (to hopefully catch all the foreign characters)

BUG FIXES:
—————————-
Fixed problem where upgrades didn’t work first time after installation
fixed potential deadlock when adding or booting AI in single-player mode
Fixed a bug to allow mas’d sounds to be loaded in moddev mode

MULTIPLAYER:
—————————-
Fixed it so client gets message if they are being kicked out due to vehicle upgrades changing their class to a disallowed type. Also added to the message what the allowed classes are.

CONTROLLER/FFB:
—————————-
Now also resetting steering wheel range whenever ‘Reset FFB’ is pressed.
Bumped up maximum number of controllers from 4 to 6.
Added logging and potential fix for problem where people sometimes lose keyboard input.

PLUGINS:
—————————-
We continue to recommend not releasing plugins based on V05 of the interface until it is considered final.

REPLAYS:
—————————-
Added ability to resume a session from a replay, which acts like a continuous save file. You can choose any car at any point in the session. While you can use a replay of a multiplayer session, you can currently only resume it as a single-player session. Note that the replay is not and will never be a “perfect” save file, and currently there are some vehicle states that are not properly restored, in particular the state of your tires. Note also that this feature changes the replay format and is not backwards compatible.

MODDING / PUBLIC DEV
—————————-
Fixed a bug in Mas2 with crashing during mod install
Fix for viewer to support no dyn vbuf
Removed confirm dialogs from Mas2 for mas’ing and packaging components and mods
Changed multi-cmp file extension to .rfcmp

Minor changes made to improve meshmender tangent basis generation
Alternate tangent basis generation is now available, this may be a better choice in certain cases, but most likely won’t be
gMaterial plugin now only requires .GFX (shader description) files, complete shader code is no longer necessary to get shader list
gMaterial plugin now prompts (first time only) for location of .GFX files or MAS file containing .GFX files
gMaterial plugin now searches all MAS files in the GFX file location for shader desc files
gMaterial plugin has a “Reset Shader Location” button at the bottom, after restarting 3DS Max, you will be prompted again for shader desc file location
Added fix for loading mas’d sounds in mod mode
RealRoad loading dev-mode fix, plus a slightly forgiving checksum for RealRoad files in case track makers make minor tweaks to vert locations for seams or whatnot
fixed corner cutting corridor manipulation to match regular corridor manipulation (moves 10 times faster and left alt to slow it down)
made changes so that you can adjust Message center and chat fonts on the fly from HUD editor.
