SR4L - 1973 Porsche 911 RSR Season Official Announcement

Maybe that's what was set as the collision mesh.

[DJCruicky]

I've had a peak in your .gen file and it seems like you have removed the lines with bonnet and wings.
But you might have found by accident the fix for the performance problem with this mod with high CPU usage .
I put them lines back in that you deleted, but I set collision=False for them items. I tested it at Silverstone with 30 AI and my purple bar was normal, about a 1/3 across . Before it was almost maxed out. Very much improvement .

[gorgias1976]

Like many things in science, Discovered by coincidence.
When I can, I could set it on test server, and also try different collision boxes

[DJCruicky]

Just set them breakable objects to False collision and you will be good. What I said before they did not break off, erm they do, I just forgot to test with 100% damage .

If anyone has no idea what we talking about, I made video showing what them breakable objects look like in a 3D program. As you can see they are way way way to high polygon count for a collision box. The reason for high CPU usage.

[gorgias1976]

I guess best is to have an invisible mesh with the fewest polygones possible... Easy to say, but...

[Dan Bayford]

Are we still going ahead with Sundays race ?

[DJCruicky]

Of course, you better be there.

[J-P SImard]

Excellent job gentleman a big thank you to you.

[Eric O'Hara]

Hope to be with you this pm, I am slow but will stay out of the way. Thank you to organisers
Thank you to Dave for your help. I didn't sort how to chat until after you left, but your help was great..

[Dan Bayford]

Can we have a password for today's race please

[Dan Bayford]

Is today's race a league race or just a fun race please

[gorgias1976]

This will be a league race. No password set, a bit late to set it now. I'll try adding one for the following events

[Myles (Mr Fox)]

[USER=582]@Edvvc[/USER] - I’ve dropped you a link to your new skin - you’ll need to drop the files in the usual place, customise the car you use and select the new file name.

If you wish, also nip in to ‘Edit’ and set the Red region to whatever material you want for the main body (car paint?) and Black to whatever you want the bumpers. No other regions are used in this skin - just Red and black (only black can support chrome etc.)

[gorgias1976]

If you find some kind of troll online, And no admin is online just post it at discord, I'll go and remotely take care of it

[Ratus]

Going to join you tonight for the race at lime rock. Hope it is ok if a friend, nickname rootkid, joins as guestpilot. We both aint got alot experince or enough traing on this track but will try to drive clean. Sure going to have fun with you SR4L Pilots

Sure, you're welcome to come and enjoy racing here.

[Myles (Mr Fox)]

[USER=430]@Ratus[/USER] - and please come back for a shot in the Tuesday sprint races too. They’re just 6 laps (with reverse grids each time) so no one needs to feel too bad about mistakes. They’re a perfect training ground and great, good-natured racing.

[Eric O'Hara]

I'm writing this a bit earlier in the evening than expected. I'm afraid my sim became more and more glitchy as more cars joined With frame rate drops that I thought it best to stop before I took someone off. I will adjust my graphics and try for the next round. Thank you all for good natured fun and Dave for your help, I have not raced for over 2 years or even more. Thank you to the admins too..
Eric..

The car definitely had some minor impact on my race, a few stutters and a few graphics problems but the race went well and nothing majorly impacted my race. I had one big issue which you can see in the video, this is the only time this happened but it could have caused a crash if it happened at a different point in the race.

[Keeper]

The car definitely just needs the proper collision mesh and all the issues should get sorted. It's trying to calculate collisions on every polygon, and using such a detailed, high-poly mesh kills your CPU. While my CPU (Ryzen 7 2700X) isn't top of the line anymore, it's still above what many have it too has cars flashing now and again. We could repackage the mod and just have a passworded distribution and constantly passworded server so that the modification is not distributed outside the league, if the mod maker doesn't accept and post our improved collision mesh himself.

Also note that if you had a custom skin already but are now deciding to change it after using the template, rF2 does not send your updated skin to people who have the old one. It only checks for the existence of the file name; it doesn't do a time check. This is particularly annoying if you change a skin that is in a MAS file with driver, helmet, extras, windscreens, gloves, etc., as you have to change all those file names as well as the MAS file name (MAS file name must match the base skin file name). Not only that, but of course it means all the people with the old skin now still have it sitting there taking up space. Even in the days of the Old UI with its "Skin Transfer" button, it would not re-send your skin to people who had your old one with the same name. It's dumb.
