Information for Customizing AI drivers in AMS2

I've just made corrections for the few names with special characters and it stills crash. I think the problem is more with custom liveries

 

When you go to another Class the first drivers doesn't line up you start in the margin, I would line it up with the </Driver>, Don't know if this causes problems I think it shouldn't , (I didn't check all grammar)

You could break it up in 3 classes and test them one by one, That is how I made my xml's

 

That means I have to split Classes with more the 1 car ?
I rather would see it per class, that makes editing in a logic order and distribute them much easier
I now order them by Champion ship ranking or Wet_performance and can change the values in one spreadsheet sheet column from high to low, If they are split in cars I have to make jumps, or up and down in the column or back and forward in different columns on different sheets
One Skinpack goes with one custom_ai_drivers.xml

 

I think you can do both. if you read the first post (i'm not english spoken so maby i'm wrong), it seems u can do Per class and per car

 

In that way we are going to have as many xlm files as we want? That sounds more logical than having one file..

 

So I am working on a custom AI file for GT1, I picked 6 drivers per car (inculding the Nissan, might do more later drivers though).

Can someone explain how exactly defending, aggression, race skill and qualifying skill scales?
If 50% aggression means the values used are the ones from the AI file, does 25% mean they are halved?

And I would also love to know your guys experience with how big the differences in these stats are in game, so I can decide where my starting point should be.For aggression and defending I picked it at 0.9, with the lowest being 0.8 and the highest 1.0, but should I rather use 0.5 and use the full range?
Same for race skill and qualifying skill, I dont know if the differences are too small if my range is from 0.85 to 1.0.

 

So how does a value like 0.90 scale with 75% agression then?
And race and qualifying skill sets the maximum value then? So if I use 90% AI strength and 1.0 raceskill, I get the 90 AI strength in race?

 

Ah I see, thank you for the info.
So it makes sense to use a bigger range for race- and qualifying skill, aggression and defending.
Are the exact ranges going to be released so we can create/adjust our AI files based on it?

 

That's great and very responsive...but the livery_name needs to be unique in each class. In the Carrera Cup both 4.0 and 3.8 models are called "Porsche Racing #911".

 

They use the same liveries, that's why they have the same name
When you use custom liveries you can choose any name you want, (Probably already done in the Custom Skin Packs)
Future feature to disable certain liveries could resolve this also.

 

@gian
One question concerning the country code.
Is the one of the IOC in use (Germany=GER, Netherlands=NED) or the one of ISO 3166-1 (Germany=DEU, Netherlands=NLD)?

 

@gian
Perhaps there's something I'm missing but I don't see the mentioned 'UserData' folder within my AMS2 Steam installation. So I don't know where to put the specific AI files now....

Edit:
I also tried creating these folders myself now and putting the ai files there with the correct naming but it's still not working.

 

Can't wait for the update - finally say bye to Rampanelli, Boundy, Lovric and Simioni (oops, sorry ).

 

Does this also mean adding cars to each model? For example, could we have 8 Lotus 23?

 

But now I have to have two drivers with the same name in that class. That was the point.

 

While I have nothing against those people, have to agree. A big immersion braker especially with skinpacks. With "fantasy" cars not so much.

Kudos to Reiza for introducing this feature.
