Helps Assetto Corsa's F1 simulation be more in line with real life.

ac-rules-and-race-enhancements's Issues

[Feature] Red flag restart

[Feature] Full Safety Car

Make RARE version 1.2.0.0 compatible with CSP 1.79

[Feature] Settings .ini File

Add the functionality to read a settings .ini file for easier script manipulation.

Codebase refactor

[Feature] Formation Lap/Standing Starts

Convert Race Control notification to png image, and zip assets

MGU-K Deployment getting locked even after driver starts new lap

[Feature] Weekend tyre allotment and saved tyre wear

Large feature request to add weekend tyre allotment for Practice, Qualifying, and Race sessions. This will include a UI element to show the available tyres, allow selection of the tyres, and show the remaining life in the tyres.

---Sets driven distance used for wear computation.
---@param carIndex integer @0-based car index.
---@param wheels ac.Wheel @wheels to affect.
---@param virtualKm number @driven distance.
function physics.setTyresVirtualKM(carIndex, wheels, virtualKm) end

Settings AI tab causes mass FPS drop

Update Race Department Overview

Update AI forced pitstop logic

Need to update the AI forced pitstop logic to use the new SDK function.

---Controls if AI goes to pits or not.
---@param carIndex integer @0-based car index.
---@param value boolean? @default value: true.
function physics.setAIPitStopRequest(carIndex, value) end

This will help prevent the bug that causes cars to get stuck in a pitstop loop.

[Feature] Final data struct for storing in AC memory

[Feature] AI proper qualifying runs and practice programs

[Feature] Create installation verification script

[Feature] Unique DRS ENABLED notification

RARE invisible app window blocks replay controls

Some users report that the main app window that is supposed to be out of the way, happens to cover up their replay's UI controls.

[Feature] AI utilize at least 2 tyre compounds in a race

• Add AI change tyre compound during pitstop
• At least 2 compounds must be used

[Feature] Drive through penalties for other infractions

Create RARE wiki

[Feature] Override RainFX tyre change and allow for users to designate inter and wet tyres

Currently if the track is wet the AI stays on slicks and is really slow.
They could if the track wetness is at a certain level go into the pits for either Wet or Intermediates tyres.
Right now there's no way for the FH 2022 or the VRC cars to get both Intermediates and Wet tyres at the same time, but you can choose either one of them in ext_config.ini, by changing [TyresPattern_StyleRainF1] to [TyresPattern_StyleIntermediateF1] for intermediate tyres. In CSP the wet tyres are caracterized by WET.
One way to add the extra tyre could be by adding other tyre ids 5 and 6 for the wet tyres and use that in setTyreCompoundsColor but i dont really know how to implement it.

Track wetness value doesn't accurately represent the track wetness after CSP 1.79

AI unable to leave the pits if they teleported there

AI fuel levels aren't being replenished if they teleport to the pits due to damage or being off track.
Users who have the "Return to race" option in CSP are running into an issue where cars that teleport to the pits, will be unable to return to the race due to their fuel being set to 0.

[Feature] Revert to default settings

DRS_LAPS == 0, AI vs Player Race Start

When DRS_LAPS == 0, the AI can open DRS on race start whereas the player cannot.

[Feature] Driver personalities & mistakes

A suggestion to add a similar feature to that found in ISImotor games like rFactor and GTR2. Each driver in a grid is randomly or selectively assigned unique personalities that affect the way they drive on the track:

Typical (default) - Average drivers that behave more like grid fillers than real competitors. This is what all cars are initially assigned to, but may be replaced by the following personalities depending on chance:

Naïve (2% chance) - Inexperienced drivers who are more likely to make mistakes than anyone else (collisions with other drivers, cutting the track, spinning out, rule violations, etc.).
Competitive (40% chance) - More challenging drivers that may utilize different tunes, slipstreaming, and overtakes. Least likely to make mistakes.
Cautious (15% chance) - Timid drivers that will pit in earlier than others.
Defensive (20% chance) - Drivers that will protect their positions by blocking, maybe even sideswiping. Least likely to box.
Aggressive (10% chance) - Angry drivers that will use aggressive tactics to gain positions, but more likely to box due to quicker tyre wear and fuel burn.
Vengeful (1% chance) - Competitive-like drivers whose aggression and strength increases, if the player collides into them and loses positions as a result.
Custom - User-defined personalities that can be modified in a special folder within the app's directory. Could even be assigned to specific cars, skins, or driver names.

RARE invisible app window on setup screen

App Revert button doesn't work

Attempting to click "App Revert" button to reset the surfaces.ini file to allow the user to play online with checksum issues, appears to only move the Auto Injection slider to disabled, and does not reset the surfaces file.

Cars spinning on race start and spinning while in the pits

Many users have reported that during Weekend sessions, cars will often spin on race start, and while they are in the pits.

[Feature] Ability to retire drivers

Layout creation infinite loop

Spawning in/teleporting to pits causes car to spawn in the floor at Bahrain.

I’m not really sure why this is happening, but it only happens when RARE is injected and only on specific tracks. It also doesn’t happen when spawning at the start line or hotlap start.

Returning to pits causes Driver objects to lose their values

When the player driver resets to pits, all of the "Drivers" lose their stored data.

[Feature] Add AI brake hint adjustment

Add AI brake hint adjustment to allow for dive bomb overtakes to occur

---Changes AI brake hint value. Use ac.INIConfig.carData(carIndex, 'ai.ini'):get('PEDALS', 'BRAKE_HINT', 1) to
---load original value first and go from there (don’t re-read it each frame though, it’ll get expensive).
---@param carIndex integer @0-based car index.
---@param brakeHint number @New value.
function physics.setAIBrakeHint(carIndex, brakeHint) end

Option to fill users car with the same fuel as the AI, when AI Fuel Fill is enabled

[Feature] Add AI MGUK Recovery and Delivery Control

Add new functionality that controls the AIs MGUK.
This will allow for greater racing logic from the AI, and further extend their strategy tool-belt.

New SDK functions for this task

---Sets MGUK delivery mode. Note: for controling user car consider using ac.setMGUKDelivery() instead, it’ll work better with HUD and everything.
---@param carIndex integer @0-based car index.
---@param level integer @0-based index.
function physics.setMGUKDelivery(carIndex, level) end

---Sets MGUK recovery mode. Note: for controling user car consider using ac.setMGUKDelivery() instead, it’ll work better with HUD and everything.
---@param carIndex integer @0-based car index.
---@param level integer @value from 0 to 10.
function physics.setMGUKRecovery(carIndex, level) end

[Feature] Limit AI tyre compound choices based on track

Tyre compound restriction needs a settings toggle

DRS does not stay disabled if the track starts as a wet track

Bug report : when the race starts with an already wet track, at lap 3 the drs is enabled banner still appears , and in debugging it says wet track , but also the drs works . the audio doesnt play tho .
here's a video showcasing the issue :

https://youtu.be/Bq7kYvZ0WDM

[Feature] Create uninstall script

Create user guide for RARE

[Feature] Rolling starts

Verify RARE track layout creation works for most tracks

[Feature] Add laptime graph to debug

DRS banner pops up, even if DRS rules option is not enabled.

Online functionality totally broken

Need to completely redesign how RARE will work for online play

[Feature] Limit player driver’s compound choices based on track

[Feature] Virtual Safety Car/Full Course Yellow

Deploy a virtual safety car if certain parameters are met. Force reduced speeds for AI drivers, and penalize player drivers if they exceed the VSC pace.

File compression for audio and images to reduce final app size

[Feature] AI randomize tyre compound selection

This feature will randomize the tyre compound choices for AI drivers. Tyre compound choices will be constrained to whatever compounds are configured each specific track.

---Sets currently selected tyres, resetting damage as well.
---@param carIndex integer @0-based car index.
---@param index integer @0-based tyres index.
function physics.setAITyres(carIndex, index) end
