Information for Customizing AI drivers in AMS2

What I've done:
- P1 class, 12 drivers
- P2 class and P3 class, 4 drivers each
- GT3 and GT4 class, 5 drivers each
- so, 30 cars

Start race with 29 opponents (or championship, it is the same), what I've got:
- 6 P1 cars, 5 P2, 6 P3, 6 GT3 and 7 GT4, so totally wrong max/min number of cars per class
- If I restart, I've got others numbers of cars/class, totally randomized
- in P1 cars (and P2, P3, GT3...) I've got a 2/3 cars with the same driver (and same livery) and some fictional names to.

 

Anyone know the Class name to the Ultima GTR to use for the custom driver names?

 

Go to the first post in this thread and click the 'Spoiler' box.

Edit: just checked it and it's not there.
Have you tried some class names like 'UltimaGTR', 'Ultima-GTR' etc and see if your custom AI drivers appear in game?

 

Are you using any custom liveries? Or just the custom AI files?

If you upload your custom AI files here I can double check them for you.

 

I have tried different Custom AI files for different classes and the flags are definitely random, and also there are a couple that are just white. The system obviously does not work properly yet. I have tried the 3 letter code as well as the full country name, and both have the same result. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

 

I use some custom skin for one class (P1), the others are stock. P1 class is composed by some stock liveries (with custom drivers) + custom liveries (obviously with custom drivers). My customs skins are rightly loaded with/without custom drivers.

Thanks for your help.

 

@Sparviero
no worries, so p2, p3, gt3 and gt4 are all work together as expected as you can see from the screenshot. The error is in your P1 file somewhere, I don't have the skins you're using so I can't find the error for you. I would suggest removing the custom skins first and get it working with the stock skins and then reintroduce the custom skins one at a time and check for issues, it's probably just an incorrect spelling of a livery name or something like that.

Also just for the future, the best way to test these is to add one new file at a time so checking if P2 and P3 work together because they have a small number of drivers makes it much easier to spot an error than adding all the classes at once.

Thanks, I found the problem: is an "ã" in the stock livery of AMS2 (the AJR-Tubarão #5). When you use that name in the custom driver file, it cause the mess. Probably the code used for generating this letter is peculiar.

However, I found another little problem in how the custom files are used by race or championship modes. I try to explain:
- In race mode, if I chose one of the liveries of a class (eg. a 12-liveries class), it is all ok: I'm one of the twelve, with 11 opponents. The other classes are not reduced/modified by my choice.
- In championiship mode, if I chose one of the liveries of a class (eg. a 12-liveries class), the championship will include a 13-cars class, with 12 opponents. Obviously, I got a skin duplicate (my skin and one from the opponents). If I chose a not-custom driver livery, there are no more duplicates, but I'm still the 13th. In both cases, automatically, a car from another class is not included in the championiship in order to remain in the limit of maximum cars.
Thanks for help.

 

That won't work on public release (1.3.1.0)

 

Ultima is GTOpen.xml
Note the Class flag, GT-OP, in the Standings screen.

 

Works fine here. You sure you're using it with the 2021 season pack? Or did you maybe forgot to change the file type from .txt to .xml?

 

It s xml yes but..do i need the skins also? Hmm..Haven't download them. I thought only the xml would work as standalone?

 

Yeah you need the skins too.

 

The xml can work but you need to change the livery names in the file to match the ones in AMS2.

 

did you use UTF-8 ?

 

What is the New Cart Gen2 class name ?

EDIT: F-USA_Gen2.xml

 

Have not tried that yet. Figured if someone knew the proper name it would be easier than guessing. My custom liveries show up just fine. I'll give a try to naming the file.
Thanks!

Got the liveries working fine. Just need the proper name for the the game to recognize the custom drivers. Thanks much for the reply!

 

Thanks much!
