my first lfs memory is buying the game in december after a friend showed me a vid, i was like wow cool racing game that my pc can run, after i got home from school, i was looking at the licences, s1,s2,s3, which one do i buy, well, s3 had everything, it wasnt expensive, so i bought it, and started playing, i choose fernbay rallyx green, and started driving in xrg, i could barely handle the car in the corners, i constantly slipped out, crashed, ect, but i had lots of fun
wow, PiloteFormule1 is the real deal ! yesterday, I witnessed him saving a kid from a certain death in a deep river. and today, I see that he's also an incredible 3D car modeller ? just make this guy an LFS admin and let him publish any mod he wants
Its a shame there will be no shadows from streetlamps, it could've resulted in some cool things, such as streets mainly lit by those, i wonder if there will be another type of light entity usable that does cast shadows, maybe a spotlight entity too
I saw you saying "Track editor: minor usability improvements" does this mean we will have access to the track editor? As a map modder for gmod, id love to make tracks for lfs as well, im looking forward to it
What would be really cool is a raycast for the ais, so it could "see", same way a laser measure would work, 5 or 3 rays for the front and same ammount for the rear would do, then it would make things easier since we could tell it to avoid obstacles
Also, Scawen, please, if you could add a way to disable auto clutch on ai, ill buy another s3 account, just please add a way to disable it
I dont think the ai can detect walls, or roads, so it would be quite hard to program, because the ai is blind, it only does what you tell it to, it cant dodge things or do pathfinding, but you could make a safety car with a pre set route, but you'd need to program it yourself, tho yes its possible
To control ai, i go into spectator, spawn ai, use cheat engine to replace local vehicle with spectated vehicle, then i add it to fuel and tada, i can control ai like its my own car
I actually made an "autonomous formula student" mod before, and i used the same method, and yes it works for racing, because its all local, and works on multiplayer too Big grin
Hi Eric, if you see this, can you please add a small "parking" section to westhill near pits on this road where the tire marks are please? It would be a nice detail totally not need it for drifting
technically i can make the ai drive on x and y, but only by "hacking" and feeding my intput into the ai, and its just like driving normally, except i show up as ai on the map, even on multiplayer
oh my god. YES. you got no idea how much i wanted this car in lfs , im not great at modeling and i cant use blender, but i could gladly help with lfs editor
