Simplygon integration for generating car LODs

2 years ago
  • AC’s original low speed FFB tweak is properly supported now;
  • Reworked images loading for smoother and faster scrolling;
  • Some performance improvements for online, stats and other sections to get UI to be a bit less laggy;
  • Newer special events not syncing properly fixed, special events now include stats from Steam;
  • Online servers: new logging UI, option to write logs in files, option to disable integrity verification;
  • LODs generation for cars using Simplygon (thanks to Kavoriken and leBluem for the idea):
    • Automatically generate three additional LODs as well as COCKPIT_LR (assuming car had COCKPIT_HR);
    • Automatically merge meshes to reduce draw calls, with extra hardcore option for LOD D resulting in two meshes if set properly;
    • Use priorities for different meshes with smart filters, leaving more triangles for geometry that needs it;
    • View generated models in showroom, generate several versions and quickly compare results;
    • All stages are fully configurable, with presets and everything;
    • Fully automated and should produce acceptable results out of the box, but helping it with a bit of extra definitions can greatly improve end result;
  • Custom Showroom: Ctrl+H and F2 fixed, few other UI improvements;
  • New OneDrive uploader for special accounts without app folder access;
  • Preset files “.cmpreset” now can be opened properly;
  • Packing includes “ext_config.ini” for skins;
  • New batch action for cars: recalculate weight;
  • Parameters for textures occlusion baking now can be shared;
  • Support for custom CSP audio levels and more;
  • Loading of extra CSP data now can be turned off in Settings/Drive;
  • Caching AC lobby server now always available, uses main CM API server;
  • Client-side support for patched online servers with extra features (coming soon to CSP);
  • More experimental options for shadows resolution;
  • License plate generator: new function for drawing flat text;
  • New service to get coordinates for local weather (RIP Yahoo);
  • IP scanning for adding new servers fixed;
  • Few smaller fixes and optimizations.
