Improved AI Nodes Track Mod Wednesday, 26th February 2025

@Correction Hey there. I mainly calibrated nodes to "high performing" vanilla AI (ie Toyeca) which means under performers will still have issues. The intent was to 1) fix problematic stock nodes 2) increase pace consistency for a majority of vehicles tested 3) make the top AI racers faster and 4) increase variation in possible routes. Due to the simplicity of the AI settings and the lack of AI tweaking on most cars, actual performance will vary widely. There technically are more routes cars can take, but in practice you may notice oddities like certain cars always or never taking shortcuts, etc depending on their individual AI parameters. Pace improvements will be most noticeable without pickups due to the nature of the game.

Personally I recommend playing with Arcade collision and Catchup on. It allows for much more close-packed racing than simulation since Re-volt's AI system is very basic (cars follow the track racing line as best as they could, no situational awareness).

Yes, I've been working on them now after getting permision from Xarc. I will be releasing them as a batch like with G_J/I_Spy's tracks, so it will take a while. I plan to continue to add other tracks from other creators over time.

I may retake a look in the long future. If I do end up updating it will probably be with other refinements for other tracks so I can just update all at once for the pack. Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately not with my skill and patience - the entrace to the optimal path is much narrower and sharper in reverse than forward. cars with higher grip will indeed bump into the corner of the wall because that its the only way I could get a majority of the cars to line up for the corner without slipping on the ice in a bad way.

It's rare for me to open up parameters.txt on other cars to see "how do they do that?" but this car has more than piqued my curiosity. Mad props to you making a RWD car that isn't a pure railer, is intuitive to drive, and just overall fun whether you want to grip or slide.

Maybe rooftops. I will need to check with rodik about it first. I pushed the original PC tracks as a pack first due to time constraints in the future; I am unsure if I will have time and energy to make rooftops, and I wanted to release a cumulative pack before I get busier.

Hey mad, possibly. Right now I'm going back to making my chibi cars, and I don't know when I'll do AI node edits again. I would like to improve some community-made tracks in the future, but this will depend on my life-commitments as well as permissions from the creators.

The "ineffective path" was something else entirely in the long turn around the circumference of the fountain. Cars will take the high and low paths you mentioned; the high path is marked as "long pickup route" so cars have a chance to take it if their pickup slot is empty.

Those are "walls". Afaik it makes AI try harder to stay within the bounds of the AI nodes (they will already try to do this); the most obvious effect I see is AI will prioritize going back to that same node before moving to the next node if the car goes out of bounds. Without it, cars will try to continue to the next node and ignore that they are out of bounds. You can add them to your track by using ALT+left click on a green or red node in the modern editor. Stock tracks make use of these a lot in corridors, though I'm frankly not sure how much effect they have versus no walls.
