GP Bikes beta8

[Napalm Nick]

I am exporting a movie now showing the differences and some conclusions. 15 minutes you can see it.

[Napalm Nick]

Conclusions:

1. Beta 7 and Beta 8 - there IS smoke but it is not enough to be able to see it easily!
2. Stock bikes seem to be a lot worse at producing smoke than the Mod bikes (old 125ITA and RSW were great at it of course the RSW has 2 pipes). This is strange because the exhaust gfx settings for stock and mod 125s are the same 
3. Even though the Smoke Mod in this example is highly exaggerated it is hardly a 'smog-out' though that could be improved in the MOD.
4. I think in Testing offline mode there is more smoke than in World online mode (interesting).
5. Replays do capture the smoke but without the Mod you cant really see it.

I have only put a subtle smoke-mod on so don't expect clouds of it in the video. But it could be increased/decreased etc

for ease of viewing I would watch FULLSCREEN  on Youtube in glorious 1080p

Suggestion - can we up the smoke as STANDARD (B9) for the 2 strokes please PiBoSo?  At the moment it is practically invisible.

You just beat me to it Nick lol Thanks for the video bro, but I thought a comparison with the 500 might help. This is the most smoke I could get from it, I forgot to do a replay so shoot me!!!

Same as Nicks, in order to see the massive amount of smoke watch it on PooTube 1080pee

It smokes most under load at the top of the pitlane.

We need Nicks MOD, pretty please

nice one DD!  So I thought you would enjoy seeing the same vid with the smoke-mod

Oh and Barry Sheene Yamaha and Mike Hailwood leathers. Try not to orgasm.

man I need to get some work done lol.

If you really want to make a smoke mode you might want to unpack 'effects' and look here;
....\GP Bikes\gpbikes\effects\effects\particles\exhaustsmoke.cfg   

lots to play with...


max_life = 6

gravity = 0.18
friction = 0.05

start_size = 0.01
end_size = 1

num_color_keys = 1
color_key0
{
time = 0
red = 1
green = 1
blue = 1
}

num_alpha_keys = 2
alpha_key0
{
time = 0
alpha = 0.1
}
alpha_key1
{
time = 1
alpha = 0
}

texture = exhaustsmoke.tga
texture_slots = 2

exit_speed_scale = 0.02
exit_variance = 5
frequency = 8

[Napalm Nick]

where else do you think I did it? 

[h106frp]

ooops,

I though you had just changed


      smoke
      {
         top_rpm = 2500
         max_rpm = 4000
      }


in gfx.cfg.

I see the problem now though, all bikes share the same base smoke model, only the above is configurable for individual bikes at the moment.

[Napalm Nick]

Yeh cut offs for the effect. It works quite realistically though because it simulates the 'low rev under-load' smokey phenomenon like IRL. Good job!

Nice to see my "Barry Sheene JPS Yamaha 500cc 0W60" bike paint being put to good use...... It's one of those "GO FASTER" paints! Hehe! 

Hawk.
PS: I created the Barry Sheene JPS leathers to go with it too but they were created for the old beta 3 rider template and unfortunately don't work now. 

[Napalm Nick]

Yes Hawk its awesome.

Sorry have been out dealing scrap metal lol (tries everything once.... except Morris Dancing).

DD - Drop this into your effects/particles folder.

I am a bit reserved about putting it here for two reasons;
1. PiB might not like it (it is only a mod) but I'm sure he will delete it if that is the case.
2. People who are not comfortable with editing the .pkz folder should avoid it as it may cause more long term hassle than you need.

Anyway attached.

[doubledragoncc]

Thanks Nick. I looked at the file but was not sure of what was what lol. I love modding and it enhances the sim.

2. People who are not comfortable with editing the .pkz folder should avoid it as it may cause more long term hassle than you need.

They should simply:

• Create the direcotory structure "\GP Bikes\gpbikes\effects\effects\particles\"
• Drop your file in it.

No other action needed I think. To revert back to standard, either delete your file or just rename it to (for example) exhaustsmoke.cfg.off (or .modded or .cheesburger).

Nice one Nick! Thank you! Now we can get some 2 stroke smoke blowing!

Nice tip Max.... Done that. 

Hawk.
PS: Will this cause an online server connection issue with changing or adding this?

[Napalm Nick]

No hawk its fine no performance change issues so online is OK with it
