Megérkezett a legújabb Project CARS build

Itt van a szokásos heti Project CARS build a Slightly Mad Studios gárdájától. A tagság már megszokhatta, hogy a csapat minden pénteken új frissítéssel áll elő, ami általában számtalan újdonságot tartalmaz.
Ezúttal a Junior előfizetéssel rendelkező játékosoknak is érdemes izzítaniuk a launchert, mert a legújabb verzió az ő számukra is elérhető. Természetesen a heti összesített frissítési listát ezúttal is közöljük angol nyelven.

Build 489 (7/6/13, Junior Member+)

Base:

Updated BXmlNode to provide access to arbitrary user data

WiiU CRenderer/RenderThread base headers (stripped down from DX11)
WiiU CGenInstancingPlatformHelper added
WiiU CDebugProvider/CDebugMetrics added
WiiU CDebugBatch Line/Quad/Text added. (probably should make this cross-platform at some point since the code is the same on all targets)

Race weekend:

Session saving & restoring
Debug menu:
Enabled extra controls in debug menu for displaying average luminance value

Physics:

Pass dynamic live air pressure values to physics systems
Vehicle dynamics updates:
Volumetric throttle modelling
Tweakers for throttle response
Non-gold csv export of brakemapping and torque volumetric data
New algorithm for engine load used by audio systems
Adjustable brake mapping and restrictor plates
Ambient pressure considered as part of throttle response
Per vehicle EDF updates to use new systems
Updated switch from loading state to race to proceed physics sync immediately

Environment:

Added controls to allow us to be able to scale the lighting on vehicles
Added 15 percent saturation to clear 3 with new colour cube
Clear 03 yellow sun tint reduced a touch
Clear 02 emap boost/ambient reduced so that it can be compared to higher value in clear 05
Clear 3 sun colour test, has more yellow hued sun in the day
WTC updates so that sunny and medium cloud conditions have brighter sun, more tone mapping adjustment, more blue sheen at midday and several other tweaks for daytime lighting

Replays:

Updated participant snapshot version number. Should fix EOR replays

Shaders:

Shader changes to take into account new scalers for vehicle lighting

Audio:

Got a lot further with the distant echo, amplitude rolloff and LPF occlusion for the the external engines, backfires, splutters and gearshift sounds of the 4 testbed cars (Caterham R500, Zonda R, Formula A and Capri Group 5). I’ve also done a quick pass on the engine dynamics in an attempt to create a more realistic ramp in volume and engine loads. The Capri Group 5 engine no longer has the weird popping sound like its misfiring

GUI:

* New icon for Edit HUD

Tracks:

Northampton Classic: New road and runoff materials, reworked pit buildings and stands, added grass tufts to runoff area
Azure Circuit: Moved first garage position to fixed damaging the car on load, added more road patches, seams, improved road textures a bit, back to high rez version of the main road texture and fixed alpha channel, darkened a bit whitelines, created new diving board+added slide and stair/rails to it
All Track TRDs: Added Altitude data for all track TRDs
Added new track…. Fort Felix

Vehicles:

Mercedes SLS GT3: Added placeholder lights and mirrors
Ford Mustang Boss: Added placeholder lights and mirrors
Lotus 98T: New modal carcass and Flash tread. Enabled some wear and heating for public testing. Not sure amounts as I’m doing it mostly by feel. Lotus 78 – same caracass and flash changes as the 98T. also has wear and heating enabled

Build 488 (6/6/13, Senior Manager)

Common:

* Old profiling and stat systems now working again
* These are Track profiling, vehicle profiling and track stats
* Switch GraphicsEngine,RenderBridge and Renderer to use SSE2 code generation

Physics:

* 64 bit waypoint pointer updates
* Updated groove debug waypoint ptrs to support 64 bit

WiiU:

* BCritical
* Platform API SysMalloc
* Platform API DateTime
* Platform API Printf

Shared Memory:

* Changed mOrientation to use pre-modified values in hydraulic space
* Removed unused mTyreSpeed variable
GUI:
* Pause menu updated to FE style
* Logos and photos for every location in the game, new sliders on the Gameplay screen
Audio:
* More refining the mix and distance rolloff for the external backfires, splutters and gearshift sounds. I found the „inverse logarithmic scale” to be best as it’s more natural sounding curve. I tested and applied these changes to the following cars: Caterham R500, Zonda R, Formula A and Capri Group 5. The Zonda R & Formula A are the best so far. I’ve toned down the gear wobble in the R500
Vehicles:
* Lotus 49: New Flash tread added along with an update to the Modal caracass. Ford GT40 – made changes to the flash tread and carcas based on what i just learned form the Lotus 49

Build 487 (5/6/13, Senior Manager)

Common:

* Fixed some logging tracing typos in the environment anim files
* Moved common game mode functions from Global.script into the Common.script game mode script file
* Added Common game mode script

Physics:

* Cache new drivermode changes from App based on events and process after driver mode state machine
* Update effects requires some vehicle velocity to trigger logic
* Ford GT40: New Madal carcass with a first attempt Flash tread
* Lotus 49: Updated yesterday Modal carcass with what I’ve learned
Race Weekend:
* Enabled & hooked in Autopilot option (for practice & warmup sessions)
* Enabled & hooked in Skip Lap option (for warmup sessions)
* Bug fix for first Race Overview Screen being inadvertenly closed

Base:

* Updates for testing and additions of async tests
* Re-enable debug visuals
* Added support to BCritical for recursive critical section
* Fixed memory block critical being unlocked twice
* Updated legacy Debug module calls to new format
* Extended HUD Scribe / Script interface to allow more control over the in game HUD via script
* Added vehicle helper methods to identify vehicles requiring servicing and current vehicle

GUI:

* Improved handling of weather and time of day icons
Audio:
* Fixed environment animation sounds (full path now required because of audio asset changes)

Tracks:

* Azure Circuit: Added some stuff from Tobac corner to rascasse, skids armco ends, diff armco colours, added missing emm to arch assets+ doors inside the swimming pool area, fixed some gaps
* Bathurst: Adding in track Altitude settings

Build 486 (4/6/13, Manager+)

Environment:

Physics:

* Tires: added exaggerated wear to FB test tire
* Lotus 49: New modal carcass added, but still using older scrub tread. No luck getting this car to handle properly with the flash tread yet
* Lotus 78: First pass on new Modal Carcass/Flash tread tire for public testing

Audio:

* External gear sounds now positioned properly. Gear change logic altered to fix GearUp sound not being triggered correctly, seemingly due to a change in how neutral is passed in via metrics. Removed a gear change glitch on Reset due to stale metrics appearing after an audio reset
* New F1 incar and external backfires, splutters and gearshift sounds. Events are tagged as „Formula” for use with
all high powered high revving engines and open wheelers
