    Hi,

    Making changes to the menu system will not be a difficult task because the menu is no way tied to the racing system. Implementing a different vehicle physics is explained in the documentation from page 43.

    Please send me a PM with your invoice number and I will see how to help you on this issue.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    The new version isn't quite ready for testing yet.

    I'll be sure to leave a post here and send out PMs to testers when it is.

    Thanks for wanting to take part in the beta :)

    I would also like to test the new version when it comes out. The old version was so good that the expectations are very high this time.

    I need some little helps for my off road track:
    Is possible to have the skidmark always active?
    Is possible to have a second type of skidmark for slip limits?
    How to save the skidmark mesh to suggest the track?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Yes, you can do this by setting the SurfaceType to "Off Road".

    No, v1.1.0 only supports 1 type of skidmarks for all surfaces. You can only toggle whether skidmarks sould be active on a surface.

    In the upcoming version, you can have different skidmarks for each surface. Here's a preview of the surface manager in v2.0:

    surfacemanagerWIP.png

    For this you can create a SurfaceManager prefab and use it for all your race scenes.

    Thanks.

    Open the Wheel.cs script, scroll down to line 208. It should look like this:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. if (skidAudioSource && wheelCollider.attachedRigidbody.velocity.magnitude > 5.0f)
    Change 5.0f to 0.0f. This should make sure that the skidmark mesh is always created whenever you move.

    To do this you would somehow need to get the mesh data contained in the Skidmark component and save it. I'd have to look into this to give you answer. I'm sure a forum search would help you figure out how to do this.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Cool!

    Did you configure your vehicle using the vehicle setup wizard? As you can see from the code, it will only execute if there is an AudioSource - this is created when configuring a vehicle.

    What happens when you run the scene, do you get any skidmarks? Any errors in console?

    Thanks.

    I get the skidmarks wen I turn but notting wen I go strigt.
    In console i found this error:

    I don't own a VR headset so I'm unable to test. I'm planning on getting a VR headset sometime in the future though and I look forward to trying out VR development with RGSK and other projects.

    haha yeah, I've heard VR causes motion sickness for some people. Hopefully I'm not one of them.

    I wouldn't imagine that a racing game would cause motion sickness because all you really do is sit down, look straight and glance to the left and right when steering unlike shooters where you look all over and move around the room.

    I didn't have things set up properly to be honest, this is perhaps something you can add to your kit. In order to minimise motion sickness, the camera must not shake with the car - if you drive a real car, you'll notice as you drive you focus on the horizon and the car shakes around you as your brain levels out your view without you thinking.

    So in order to minimise motion sickness some kind of smoothing is needed so the rotation of the car is kept, but small movements are removed. The car bouncing and shaking must look like the camera is not attached to the car, the car moves around the camera.

    You might be able to see it in a video:


    I think it's best to have an empty gameobject that filters small rotations of the car as obviously if you flip your car you need to follow that rotation, and you need Yaw and pitch to match the car.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Hello,

    The update is going good. I know it's been a very slow update but great things take time :)

    I've been focusing on polishing the vehicle physics over the past week. I'm still working on several things here and there but by the look of things a beta version should be available sometime this month.

    I'll be sure to post any screenshots or updates here when ready.

    Thanks.

    Hi there,

    If I buy this now, will I receive the updates for free?

    Also, can I use this package and its components for multiple projects/apps?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Yes, all future updates will be free including the upcoming v2.0 update.

    You can use the asset for as many projects as you want.

    Thanks.

    Hey @Intense_Gamer94

    I wanted to check in and ask how the update is going.
    You mentioned the possibility of a beta version sometime this month, is that still a likely scenario?

    I'd also like to know what systems are complete. Personally, I'm interested in the race management aspects, the AI and the replay system. I've setup my own menu system for local multiplayer, and my own physics. I'll probably make my own progression system, since I won't be using currency for unlocking cars or tracks.

    From the way you described V2, it sounds like the implementation of those features is a lot cleaner, so I want to wait for this version before I incorporate RGSK into my project.

    Is there a way we could test some of those features any time soon?

    Thank you for your work and keeping us informed,

    Cheers!

    I'd love an update as well. This went from a 2 week projected update to 6 months as of this month. I forgot this asset even existed I'm so far removed from shelving my racing game project.

    Hi,

    The update is going great. I've been working on code optimization lately. In it's current state, the performance is far much better than v1.1.0. Running 20 vehicles on the track gives pretty much the same frame rate as only running 1.

    The AI is not complete yet but I'm almost there. As I mentioned before, AI has been one of the biggest challenges with this update.

    The replay system is a lot more advanced, it not only records velocity, position/rotation and input values but also other values such as the engine RPM, gear etc. Nitro values are also recorded so that you wont miss all the moments you used nitro when watching the replay :). One cool feature added to v2.0 is the ability to watch a replay during a race and go right back to racing after you're done.

    Seeing that the month is nearly over, I don't think it's very likely. However, v2.0 will be available very soon. I've spent lots of time on this update and I'm confident that it'll help developers create great racing games.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Yeah, I've had to re-think many things during this update, such as how to handle things in the best and most efficient way, hence how long it's taken. Input, events, code structure and general workflow have been the main things.

    This update will be the biggest yet and most definitely the slowest update for as long as RGSK exists.

    I waited 4 months since my last communication with the developer. I'd say that's remarkably patient. And I will continue to wait patiently. I was just interested in an update.

    Yes, mobile performance is just as good. When working with mobile devices, you only need to ensure that your models and scenes are optimized.

    Hi,
    Anybody say something about performance in menu. I have 18 cars in menu scene. All of them are in Menu Manager. When I come back from Race scene to Menu scene -this Menu scene loads 1:20 ! When I have 2 cars in menu manager - scene loads "only" 20 seconds ;(

    All cars are very low poly (with mobile unity shader). This situation is completely useless for mobile devices.

    Maybe I should use "Dont Destroy on Load" function to get better performance? But it will duplicate all scene and objects. I dont know...Somebody helps? Please

    Edit. So I used Dont destroy on load for Menu Vehicles. Nothing changed. But after I added Dont destroy on load to Menu Menager, wow ... Menu scene loaded very fast but .... with Red errors in console. Summary I really like this asset and IntenseGamer94 who helped me a lot of times and who has a lot of patience for beginers users but... Im sorry but I dont really believe that we will see 2.0 before this Christmas. If anybody will have any suggestions about my issuss please help. Any sugestions are like gold to me. Thanks.

    Update (found issue):
    So I removed everything from Menu Scene (lights and skybox also) except Menu Vehicles. Same here- Menu scene loads about 1 minutes. Then I change in Menu Manager car list fom 18 to only 2 (Menu Vehicles cars objects still in scene) = Menu scene loads about 14 seconds. Definitely there is something wrong with Menu Manager script. This journey is over. P.S. I used 1.09 script.

    Hi,

    1:20 is an extremely long time. With 20 vehicles in v1.0.9 and v1.1.0 menu systems I get normal loading times. What else do you have in your menu scene except from vehicles? Are there any errors in the console suggesting why loading could be taking so long?

    Using DontDestroyOnLoad is a bad idea for the menu manager - you only need it to exist in the menu scene and not any others.

    C'mon, of course we will see v2.0 before Christmas. We will see it very soon :)

    The problem isn't with the Menu Manager script, it sounds like it's your cars. I've got 28 cars in my Menu Vehicles object and going from a race back to the menu takes about anywhere from 5-21 seconds.
    .
    We'd better see it before Christmas! (I'm joking)
