0.8.1129.23321

  • Appearance:
    • Light theme fixed;
      • New previews preset for Light theme;
    • New White theme added;
    • More customizable things (more examples and small gallery are coming);
    • Now, themes can be installed as any other content;
    • Option to increase the size of title links;
    • Lite mode is less annoying (sorry about that!);
  • Long promised batch actions!
    • Hold Ctrl or Shift and click to enable it, press Escape to go back;
    • During multi-selection mode, use right mouse button to switch between active object;
    • Various actions including removal, packing, cleaning and fixing UI values;
      More will be added later.
    • Supported all apart from tracks, user championships and server presets (working on it);
      Now, this definitely makes that old Cars Manager thing completely irrelevant. Please, stop using it, it might even be harmful at this point.
  • New Mods tab! Still WIP:
    • Manage JSGME mods from CM;
    • Hard links for mods installation to avoid wasting space;
    • Switch between JSGME presets;
    • While installing any piece of new content, try to install it as a JSGME mod — this way, you will be able to easily remove it later;
      Please, keep in mind existing JSGME limitations — for example, new files added to installed this way car won’t be removed while removing mod.
  • Custom Showroom:
    • FMOD integration;
      Press Y to toggle engine sound or open car params section and adjust values there. But don’t forget to install a special plugin first! Linking with gas pedal is planned, but no promises (I think it should use values like ENGINE_DATA/INERTIA, but I have no idea how).
    • Screenshots are taken in 1920×1080 (plus multiplier) resolution with no regard to window size;
      Temporary fix, customizable resolution will beforee available later.
    • Tiles issue with high-res screenshots fixed;
    • ImageMagick Montage plugin updated;
      It consumes twice less RAM than before, and also, now, it won’t take all memory available, but processing might take more time.
    • Modify materials from Custom Showroom;
      • Fork, replace (as with textures);
      • Adjust parameters;
      • Patched ksEditor material library is integrated as well;
        Shaders still can’t be changed, but maybe I’ll add this option later.
    • New lights are white;
    • High CPU usage fixed;
    • Shaders fixed and improved to be more accurate;
    • Hide ground without showroom;
    • Generate base textures for color grading LUTs directly from CM;
    • New button in settings allowing to reset the most heavy options to save showroom from crashing, but keep most of current settings;
    • Dialogs behavior fixed;
    • Keys pressed in tool window now work as hotkeys in showroom as well;
    • While saving color grading textures, use PNG to save space (otherwise, preset will be too big);
    • Save modified model state and wheels positions;
      It won’t affect online checksums or the way car looks on a track.
  • Some UI changes:
    • Car specs tooltips in Quick Drive section;
    • Rating and favourite icons in object lists;
    • Quick Switches panel behavior reworked;
    • Animations reworked with Google guidelines;
  • Server presets:
    • AC Server Wrapper integration improved:
      • Content settings reworked, now supporting packing and local files;
      • Packing fixed;
    • Option to fit most params at a single tab;
    • Pickup mode enabled by default;
  • AC settings:
    • Toggle messages;
    • Toggle VR camera shake;
    • Move damage displayer around;
  • Car analyzer:
    • Obsolete sound detection (works not always though);
    • AI shifting points diagnostics fixed;
    • Repairing weight and torque/power things got a new, possibly the best, solution;
  • Uploading (for sharing replays, for now; more will be ready soon):
    • Settings reworked;
    • New destinations:
      • Dropbox;
      • Mega;
      • Microsoft OneDrive;
      • Yandex.Disk;
    • Nothing apart from access tokens are stored;
    • Authentication process is optimized;
    • All login params can be found in Authentication.data instead of Values.data;
      You’ll have to re-login to Google Drive because of it.
  • Install content from Microsoft OneDrive as well;
  • Copy link to a remote file or local file, switch to Content Manager and press Ctrl+V to install it;
  • Race Essentials integration;
  • Double-click car, car skin, track or weather in Content section lists to open it in Quick Drive section;
  • Curves in drive section enabled by default;
  • Changelog loading fixed;
  • Track skins;
    Some description will be ready a bit later, sorry.
  • Some more fancy hints, plus some options for debugging them if you want to test a skin;
  • New system configs (some of them) and sets of textures installation support;
  • Car packing moved to batch actions, with some options added;
  • Settings for some plugins;
  • Online timeouts adjusted;
  • Notification for installed setups;
  • Change filter for cars while changing tyres;
  • Track authors per layout;
  • Kunos drivers and fonts are labeled;
