Information for Customizing AI drivers in AMS2

What country codes can we use so they are recognized by the game ?

 

When I try to copy/paste the XML code to a new document there's always double " added everywhere, so it is quite tedious to delete them all again. Am I missing something here?
fyi: I'm editing in OpenOffice, perhaps that might be a reason?

 

Never use Office-like programs for programming/editing code files: Notepad++, Atom, PSPad, VS Code, etc. Those can even check the "validity" of the files.

 

Yeah good shout. Notepad plus is great and I would recommend a quick download for this job.
Using word docs will mess up your special characters etc.

 

I'll see what if there's anything I can do about but I have little control over how software handles it. The output is generated correctly as far as it is displayed in XML tab.

As a workaround I'd suggest pasting the output to Notepad (or other pure text editor) and find/replace "" with ".

 

Yep, that’s the strange thing: in the XML tab everything looks good. Perhaps it’s just a thing the native text edit app in Windows can’t handle? Or it’s because I open your file in OpenOffice. Will try what the guys above have said.

 

It's actually the opposite to that suggested by others, it only works if you copy-paste the XML to another Office suite program (like Word), otherwise you get all content of the cells wrapped inside a "" (with every quotation mark within the xml file doubled):

Ladies and gentlemen - thank you for your feedback and pointing me in the right direction. Given that this issue seems to appear only on multi-line cells I've removed the indentation and hopefully this fixes the issue.

The output is less readable, but the XML is definitely valid and should work seamlessly regardless of your Excel/Open Office stack.

So you can re-download the file and see XML (no indents) worksheet.

Let the creativity begin (again)!

 

Is it just me or multiclass/championship custom grid was not fixed in 1.3.1?

 

I tried setting it up briefly last night, but so far no joy. I may very well be doing it wrong though.

 

Does the country flag work for you, guys? My game just shows me any flags at the end of the race.

Example: Have this driver within a mod, should be british, but game shows any random flag, like the ones from Thailand or Colombia. It is the same with all cars.

<driver livery_name="Team Havoline Racing #5">
<name>Nigel Mansell</name>
<country>GBR</country>
<race_skill>1.0</race_skill>
<qualifying_skill>1.0</qualifying_skill>
<start_reactions>0.95</start_reactions>
<blue_flag_conceding>1.0</blue_flag_conceding>
<weather_tyre_changes>0.90</weather_tyre_changes>
</driver>

Am I doing something wrong?

 

No, same here.
Even in MP my country flag sometimes changes randomly.

 

Thanks, so it's not my inability to edit the files the right way.

 

Hey guys, question on driver count.
If I create a custom AI grid using all the liveries of a given car and then start a race / championship with AI count that exceeds the number of liveries, how do I prevent duplicate names? In other words, in a race with duplicate liveries, how do I prevent the same driver name from appearing?
Ex. I create custom AI grid using Arc Camaro, which has 20 liveries. Then I set up a race with 28 AI cars. There are cars with the same name in the race. Is there a way to edit this? Like have 2 different AI names for the same livery?
Thanks

 

Have lists of default skin names been published to save having to manually go through each car in game and type out the full name?

 

So it is working now, you just have to be more specific then I thought, I haven't tested it in a championship though.

You need a custom AI driver file for each class you want to use and each of those files should only have the number of drivers you want that class to have in the race. Then you need to set the number of opponents to the total number of drivers -1. The -1 being your spot.

Edit: just to add I couldn't be happier. This is such an awesome addition the games thank you so much @gian it is very much appreciated.

 

So, two things.

1 - Where can I get all the available flags?
2 - The flags themselves are bugged and are swapped with other, unrelated flags (possibly assuming old AI flags?)

But damn, this addition is such a wondeful piece of immersion!

 

As others have reported 3 letter flag codes doesn't work for me, have tried a couple to experiment and definitely seems to not work. AUS & NZL .

 

Didn't work for me either but that's what we are supposed to use.
Current patchlog also has this:

But I didn't have the chance to try 1.3.1.0 yet, so I can't confirm.
