iRDS - Intelligent Race Driver System Available on Asset Store

It would be great, to contact me via email to help with integration: tgstudio777@gmail.com

 

sure will do

 

Hi. I am working with the DLL version of IRDS (version 3.2.6) in Unity 2018.3.6. I notice that when I disable the Initial Preview on Race option the countdown stops at 1 and I get the message:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
IRDSStatistics+<StartRaceCounter>d__0.MoveNext () (at <c974900d7312489f940d00675e24b7b5>:0)
UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine.InvokeMoveNext (System.Collections.IEnumerator enumerator, System.IntPtr returnValueAddress) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/Coroutines.cs:17)
UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:StartCoroutine(IEnumerator)
IRDSStatistics:StartTheRace()
IRDSCarCamera:Start()

When playing the game in VR the main camera defaults to an external view of the race instead of the driver view. I have set the driver Preferred Camera View to Driver, and this works when not using VR.

Could you please advise? Cheers.

 

Would check this out, about the camera not going into an specified view just in VR, can you please let me know how you have it setup for VR? as you stated it works without VR i think it is related to that setup then.

Cheers

 

I've managed to put in a workaround so I now have VR. I basically created a Player Cars folder with duplicate cars and added a camera to these cars manually. Really enjoying this asset and will probably have more questions later Cheers.

 

Awesome, let me know if you have any questions

 

Hi guys!

What you think about making iRDS ECS driven? off course this would mean that it wont be updated for versions older than Unity 2018, the current version would still be available for older version of Unity, but new stuff would get only for Unity 2018+.

Let me know what you guys think about it.

Cheers!

 

Hi Rhodnius. What would be the benefits of implementing ECS with iRDS?

 

From what I read on ecs and how everything is scripted in irds pure ecs should make it easier to build off of your system as an example adding my dynamic qualifying system and separating the prefabs to the heat races in its current current state I have had to add references to multiple scripts where using the job system and ecs should help performance issues and gc allocation.

 

Thanks for your response. Sounds good.

I have a couple of questions regarding the DLL version. Can we add spatial audio to the cars? Is it possible to replace the skid smoke/scratch particles with 3rd party particles?

 

Pretty much is the performance that should get improved.

Not sure about the spatial audio, as those are created at runtime, the skid smoke and scratch particles can definitely be replaced with another shuriken particles for sure.

 

About the spatial audio, yes it is supposed to be 3D sound for all cars, would double check this, maybe something changed at some point on a newer version of Unity and I didn't knew.

 

Ok just found what it was, and fixed it already, sorry for that little inconvenient, would be uploading and submitting for review

 

New update live on the asset store, with unity 2018 fix and Spatial sound too.

Cheers!

 

Cool thx!

 

Have good news about the physics, I just made an adjustment to the tire physics that makes it way more stable, so now there wont be more jerking on the tire forces, meaning you could easily rig heavy trucks or smaller car (need to test out smaller cars though, like RC cars size and with a very small mass).

This simplifies also the code, which is good too.

Cheers!

Rhod,

 

Has anyone configured this with Photon Pun2 Multiplayer...

 

Haven't yet tried it out, but it works with PUN so i don't think there should be an issue to make it work with PUN2



Also guys, I just saw that the Race Liner Renderer is getting errors on Unity 2018.3.X and up, looking at it asap, but meanwhile just disable it either in levelload object with the disable race line renderer option or disabling directly the RaceLineRenderer object inside the iRDSManager children.

Sorry for the inconvenience, had to deal with the prefabs changes made on Unity 2018.3 and up

 

After putting in the points, copying them into the waypoints fold and set up a couple of cameras, I select "process All Tracks Data" It has been on this screen for over two hours. Is this normal?

The track is less complicated and shorter than the demo

 

Hi @ematsuno , definitely it shouldn't take longer than a couple of seconds.

Not sure i got you right, you copied the waypoints to a fold?

The proper way should be:
make sure you used the IRDSManager options to put in the points into the track surface, and add Track limits, Race line, Grid positions and camera points

Let me know if this helps

 

Hi Rhod. I have a scene with a single terrain but a number of race tracks. Each track is stored in a separate folder which contains the IRDSManager and various other assets relevant to that track (direction signs etc.).

I was wondering if it would be possible to update the track selection script (and the LevelLoad manager) to allow for the track (ie. the scene name) and the appropriate folder within the scene to be selected. I was thinking maybe adding a Tag to each track folder and then, when selecting the Track in the TrackSelectionPanel, being able to select both the Scene Name and the relevant Tag for the track you wish to activate.

I have the DLL version of iRDS so cannot see how easy it would be to implement this in the LevelLoad manager.

Let me know if this make sense ;-) Cheers!

 

Further to the previous post, if a scene is selected without a tag specified this could, in effect, activate a Free Roam mode and have the player spawned at pre-determined point(s) in the scene.

 

Hi @mthawley !

I think you could do this just on the track selection code, which the source is on the lite version too, since in there you could add that data to the sceneName selection array, then just use it when a track is selected, with that you should be able to spawn the corresponding iRDSManager on the scene

 

Hi guys!

I have been working last few weeks on overhauling the physics, so far I have a way more stable tire physics, but is not yet finished, also the engine would be working in a different way from what it was before ( a more real way, to sort of say it).

Hope this would help everyone using iRDS to get on the market better games

 

Would be uploading soon a WebGL alpha demo so you guys can try it out and give some feedback

 

Hi guys, here is a little video showing some of the suspension and physics improvements

 

Here is another video

 

wau looks good !! good work

 

That is impressive!

 

Thanks!

The physics would now include a script that would let you animate those parts of the suspension and steering. Which really helps on getting things more visually real.

 

Any tutorials on Randomation physics?

 

If you mean for the integration, is just the same steps as they are for Edys VP, you can check on the step by step guide, what you need to do is go to the Other Physics folder and in there extract from the provided rar file the Randomation folder only, after that a new option would appear on the GameObject->iRDS->Vehicle->Randomation menu called Adds AI script, do this while you have the Randomation car prefab selected, and this would add the iRDS scripts and would put a copy of the prefab on the iRDS/Resources/Cars folder with the scripts needed on it, after that, you need to edit that prefab an on the IRDSCarControllInputRandomatio script on the inspector add 2 items to the FrontWheels array and add the reference there to the 2 front wheels transform and that should be enough to try out your new riged car

 

when I click process ALL tracks Data
"The Processiong Track Data, Please Wait" dialog opens, but never shows any progress.
I've let it sit for over 8 hours.

I've also cleared the track data and started over, but still get this error:

Hi @ematsuno

This sounds like the API updater didn't updated the dlls, which version of Unity and iRDS are you using? Please make sure you download the latest version of iRDS from the asset store, and when you import the package make sure to run the API updater.

I'm currently out for a few days with limited access to Internet, in case I don't reply, I would be back on May 10

Cheers

 

Hi,

I tried using the rewired script in a new game and get these 2 errors once I unzip it.

 

Hi @derkoi

Those errors are because of the refactoring I have done so far to the core of iRDS, for the second one you just need to change GetGoPits to the property GoPits as stated on the error log.

For the first one I think is just a typo on the first letter, try PlayerControls

I can't confirm as I don't have my laptop with me, but pretty sure those would solve the issue

Sorry for the inconveniences, as soon as I get home would be solving these.

Cheers

 

Thanks, I'll take a look

 

Did it got solved after downloading latest version from the asset store?

 

Hello . I have a question . is about the racelinerender ,when the car one has happened, he should disable. can help me or has an idea

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7cv8qy2jwt7c7qo/Unbenannt.png?dl=0

 

Not sure what issue you seem to have, but behind the player car the race line just should be green as on the picture you sent, not really disabling it, just making it green.

Can you please give me a bit more detail on what you are trying to achieve?

Cheers

 

Hello, I would like that the RaceLinerender is only visible in front of the car. as in the picture.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfp0yu4djb9rdoo/Unbenannt1.png?dl=0

and had still noticed a mistake, if the car makes pitstop, it is raised, but not scooped again

 

Oh I see what you mean now, well currently that is not possible, if you have the Pro version with the scripts you could modify it to have that behavior

You mean it keeps the cars raised when they stop on the pits?

 

Halle
Hello, thanks for your answer, yes have the pro version. only no idea.

yes the cars are kept high.
and I still have a question. to the Tire Wear.
when I activate them, the tires get warm. but nothing happens. only when I press to adjust tire. and then on set tire values, the tire decreases.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/id4zdhmp81hp2sr/ScreenCaptureProject1.mp4?dl=0

 

Hmm weird, let me check that out, what version of iRDS are you currently on? i know i fixed a few things about that recently, so lets first make sure you are on the latest version on the asset store.

 

About the new physics refactoring, I'm pretty much done with the remake of the tire model, made it to be now a more simple one that does not uses pacejka tire model, so all that super complex setup of the tires is going to be gone for good i think, you would have way fewer parameters to set and in a way more simpler way.

Anyone that have purchased the Pro version interested on doing alpha testing? let me know with a PM so we could do that, also i could put a little playground demo for anyone interested on testing it directly on a build, all feedback is more than welcome, the idea is to make this as simple and better than it was as possible (this is for now physics wise only, not AI refactoring yet, we would get there).

Also the idea is, to finish up a first phase of the physics changes, release that and then continue with anything else remaining for the physics that we could discuss here, so if you think there is a feature that is missing on the physics side that is really important to you, let me know.

Thanks for all the support you guys gave me all these years!

 

Hello . I use the latest version from asset store Irds Source 3.2.6 and unity 2018.3.0f2

 

please make sure to redownload it, as i have uploaded it a few times with the same version number, and let me know if the problem persist to take a look at it ASAP.

Cheers

 

Hello . I reloaded IRDS. But no change. still I have to press set tyre. to make it work. Pit stop is working,

 

Ok will take a look at it ASAP then

 

Hi,

I tried this with the latest version of RVP from Github and iRDS but I get this error:

I'm also trying to use Rewired integration too. Any suggestions please?
