I think setting up a Discord community could help. It could be a lot more accessible than the slightly scattered-ness (for me that is 😅) of SD’s chat rooms and forums. For example, the YsFlight community - which is vaguely the same size as SD - have an active Discord where people can just yap and share stuff they’ve been working on, while still having a full forum alongside it. Having talking, bug reporting, and new ideas all under one roof sounds pretty good to me, and honestly? I’m too young to...

Take the .png file, rename it and paint it as you like. Or open the model in blender, overpaint and save as new texture.

@gunny, is there a .psd/.xcf file for photoshop/gimp available for creating own kart liveries?

would have thought the "core"-cars (e.g. the official carsets) should kept in the repo for maintenance, keeping them updated (or at least have tickets on whats needed) and otherwise keep track of them. I agree. This is what we already do with most cars, but sometimes I uploaded them to the file server directly as https://forge.a-lec.org is often being DDoS'd by aggressive AI scrapers. I wish they can fix that situation soon - see https://forge.a-lec.org/cominfra/forge/issues/33 for further reference....

while i was aware that you were adding the capabilty for generating drivers, i thought you kept the possiblity of having preset car/driver combinations with a fixed livery bound to it around (for preset championships etc.) This is still supported: manually crafted drivers can be installed into the user config directory (i.e., $HOME/.speed-dreams-2 on Unix-like systems), inside the drivers/ directory (e.g.: $HOME/.speed-dreams-2/drivers/shadow/). Similarly to how drivers were listed on the SVN repository,...

i have been focusing on the existing carsets in this thread, because i would like to help with fixing models but got rather confused on what is actually needed/wanted if you think there is something that needs to be fixed with the tb70-tinder-cars, you can of course post it. if it's an issue on the model side i might be able to help, if it's about setup or problems with robots driving them i can be of no help, but maybe someone else can.

I am not sure what you mean with "fitting robot drivers". As of v2.4.0, it is possible to generate any computer-controlled driver for any car based on any of the existing robot implementations (simplix, shadow, usr or dandroid). See the attached screenshot for further reference. Since v2.4.0, the speed-dreams-data repository now only includes the car+track XML files for each robot implementation. while i was aware that you were adding the capabilty for generating drivers, i thought you kept the possiblity...

while i can understand that you would do things like that with "custom" cars submitted by users to keep things from getting muddled, i would have thought the "core"-cars (e.g. the official carsets) should kept in the repo for maintenance, keeping them updated (or at least have tickets on whats needed) and otherwise keep track of them. also, with the sc-murasama-nsx this would mean that the repo probably contains an older version, which is certainly going to cause confusion when something is to be...

where is it linked on the official poject pages (i didn't see it, only the link to the wiki on the homepage)? The assets database is not listed on the official website because it is meant to be machine-readable and accessible from the game itself, or any other client that supports the database schema. which means there should be usable setups with fitting robot drivers for (most of) the carsets with the cars listed there I am not sure what you mean with "fitting robot drivers". As of v2.4.0, it is...

@W-E-C what about the state of your own tb70-tinder-sf1? I've tweaked the xml for it, created a bunch of additional skins, and have found it to be one of my favorites. Been playing a sort of "Continental Challenge" with them.

June Ravenmoon posted a comment on discussion Development
The NB/E92 variation did not make the cut for the same reason the JGT Aidoru in GT1/GT500/GTC also did not: the interior texture uses assets from Papyrus' NASCAR racing games, which are "abandonware" but not legally, truly free. The steering wheel is the most obvious offender here in both cases.
-
That is because, exceptionally, the sc-deckard-conejo was uploaded directly to our file server, as opposed to most of the other cars and tracks, that were instead automatically uploaded to the forge with the help of a shell script. Other cars like the sc-carson-96 and the sc-murasama-nsx were uploaded likewise.
-
You're welcome. I will try to fix the camera.
-
thanks for the feedback. the missing codriver is "not a bug but a feature": i felt it might obstruct the view, so i put it into the driver file instead directly into the car, the kafka should have the same "issue". Is this a problem?
-
Thanks for taking time answering On the other hand, the canonical URL for the official assets database is https://www.speed-dreams.net/assets.json . And this is the default URL accessed by the game when entering the "Downloads" menu. where is it linked on the official poject pages (i didn't see it, only the link to the wiki on the homepage)? anyway, the motivation of poiting this topic from my side: while i am aware that the changes done due to licensing issues, afaik the wiki does reflect more or...

I found something strange. From the outside you can see the copilot, if you look right inside the cockpit, he disappear.
-
Yes, you can't see the nose now if you look straight ahead. If you look to the right from the cockpit, towards the co-pilot, you can still see it. About windows, the bug seems to be fixed. Thanks a lot @gunny

Hi @wec-00 The SD Wiki in SourceForge is no longer maintained. In fact, we intend to leave SourceForge entirely and leave it as a read-only archive, since the source code, assets and releases have been hosted in Forgejo for over a year now. These forums are one of the last items we still must migrate somewhere else. On the other hand, the canonical URL for the official assets database is https://www.speed-dreams.net/assets.json .

Hello, Since there seems to be a bit of confusion (to me) and lack of coordination the availabilty and state of cars, i thought i'll put up a topic on availabilty, possible issues to be fixed, suggestions for improvement etc. Listed according to current listings in the SD-wiki:
-
Added. the fixed version. Was a failure of mine in the textures. Sorry. Positon of the Driver should now work with no nose. :)
-
Gracia Echo Decimale, a rework of the Lancia Delta Integrale. fixed version

Impressive work!!!! I've always loved this car, and it's a pleasure to see it in Speed Dreams. I have a few comments to make: I've noticed that with the Roma and Originale skins, the windows aren't transparent from the outside. It would also be great to have support for tire wear and temperature. If you want to see how it's added, you can take a look at Kafka Color xml Finally, it would be great if the title of the post were the name of the car and if there were a description of it here.

Your tracks are still amazing! It's clear that you love rally racing! I'll say the same thing I said about Gracia Echo Decimale. It would be great to have a post for each track and a short description. Cheers!

Wow, it's really sad that I didn't even get to see it. I'm sure it was a great piece of work, as is usually the case with everything @gunny touches. I sincerely hope @gunny reconsiders his position and comes back. As @xavi92 rightly points out, we don't have an abundance of artists and developers. I also think that, knowing those involved and seeing the conversation, it was all a misunderstanding. Cheers!

@June Ravenmoon Funny that you're a talking about my business. From a photographer to you. Everything created is copyrighted! And now the funny part. You can use "everything" for "your private use" as long as you "don't make money" with it. Copyright protection means protecting a creator from other people making money with his creations. And than and only than the creator "has to proof" that it is his creation you have used. Snipets are also a special case. If a part of an "artwork" and these are...
-
No license is no excuse~! Typically photos tied to articles are proprietary copyright of either the photographer or the website they're hosted on. For textures, there are quite a few sites that have copyright friendly assets that can be used. https://cc0-textures.com/ https://ambientcg.com/ <- more for environments, could be useful for tracks https://www.sharetextures.com/
-
Hi Xavier, Thanks! Yes that pics are taken from fotos cause thats the way you build models from reference. One is from a car-fan site and one from a cars shop that sold that car ten years ago. Don't think that someone of the Photographers would do a report on this because that are no artistic photos and so they are not specialy protected, aspecialy because these are snipets of pictures but anyway I look for a way to alienate them by painting or what else. The wheel textures are from the RS1-Citrus!...
-
Hi Gunny, excellent work as always! However, the cockpit textures seem taken from real-world pictures, which means they are very likely restricted by copyright, and therefore such a derivative use could constitute copyright infringement. OTOH the wheel texture also shows the real-world manufacturer that inspired this car, which can cause us legal trouble. Would it be possible to redo these textures without relying on copyrighted material, or at least one that is under a free license such as the Free...

I have taken the liberty of modifying some of the local information about this track. As I mentioned, I have assumed that it would be located in Finland, specifically in Jyväskylä, where the Rally Finland is held. To this end, I have included data such as climate, latitude, longitude, altitude, and even meteorology, taking into account data from the nearest airport, which has the ICAO code ‘EFJY’. This allows you to run with the actual weather conditions currently affecting the track, or with the...

Hi! Here's a new track for you. I think I've played to much AC-Rally 0.2 so I rememberd the snow test track of Project Cars 2 and thought it would be nice to have a snow drifting track like these. This track is a fantasy track located in Sweden with snow and ice. Hope you enjoy best wishes

@gunny, Snow-Olsen.xml looks for "Snow-Olsen.acc" in Graphic/3d description, but the file is still called snow-olsen.acc. That will not work on Unix-like systems where case sensitivity is relevant. Could you please double-check?

Hi @gunny, excellent work as always! I have a few questions/suggestions: The .acc file should be renamed from snow-olsen.acc to Snow-Olsen.acc. Or, maybe better, use lowercase names for all files to avoid confusion. Could you please add the following line to the Header section in Snow-Olsen.xml? It will disable the slowdown and wall hit penalties as we already do for other dirt tracks. <attstr name="disabled penalties" val="slowdown;wallhittimeinvalidate" /> What is the source for dt4-people1.png?...

Hi @wec-00 , @harunasan had made setup improvements before this release, but unfortunately the XML was based on the one available from https://github.com/longtomjr/sdcars/tree/master/cars/rs1-kafka-color , and diverged significantly from the one distributed above. So, I took the effort to manually patch her contributions to https://forge.a-lec.org/speed-dreams/rs1-kafka-color as cleanly as possible. You might want to consider them for next releases. Best regards, Xavi
