Hey everybody,
I knowww its been a while, but I think, I am at a point with the new version where I can let you guys try out some stuff.
Therefore, you can find the new version on Google Drive now ("PACT Driving Assistant 2 (ALPHA 1).zip").
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Byr4onJvHW1MP7zCei0HUgOUG9t5R_Dl?usp=sharing
Please read through these notes before testing:
This is a very early version of a complete rewrite of my program (which i have spent too much time on but thats a story for another day haha)
Therefore, some features will not work or work only partly (Yes, i will fix them, but i dont think they are so dramatic that i need to keep the version from the public still):
These include:
- A custom made gearbox setup for the automatic gearbox is not automatically saved permanently. You can however manually edit the text file where "known cars" are saved, any then you'll be able to load a gearbox setting without setting it up every time. (PACT Folder -> data -> gearbox.txt).
- You CAN add multiple gearbox - settings, for example for different setups for each car. (Not more than 5 for now). For that, go to PACT Folder -> data -> gearbox.txt and add a second CARNAME_SETUPNAME to the list.
I have added a second setup for FZ5, so you guys can just copy that, so not much brain power needed haha.
Obviously make sure to keep the spaces and basic layout of the file like it was before, otherwise it cannot be read by my program...
- You can change most key bindings in the Menu, however multiple character stuff like axis "12" for braking, is not yet supported, please use controls.txt for that.
- Parking emergency brake does not yet work.
- Bus Simulation does not yet work properly.
- The automatic siren and suspect tracker do not yet work. However siren and strobe do work, but need to be operated using the buttons. (Collision warning and stuff like that will of course also be turned off in cop mode). And the siren will automatically switch to fast siren if there is a lot of traffic around.
- There is no automatic indicator turnoff yet.
- There is no ACC yet.
- And i am sure you guys will find a bunch of bugs, that i haven't noticed yet, since i did only the very minimum for testing the program, because i really wanted it released.
- I didnt test a lot for mouse/keyboard users yet, but ill add everything thats missing in the next version.
Only german and english are fully supported languages for now, with the others you will just see default strings, where there is no translation for now.
If you happen to find any bugs, issues or just have a suggestion for improvement, please let me know here, i really appreciate the feedback!!
If an update is available (and the code i have written does what it is supposed to) you will also be notified in game!
I hope you have fun playing around with the new version.
Have a nice sunday guys!
