Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Saturday, 11th November 2023 |
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).

Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Wednesday, 1st November 2023 |
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.

Supermarket 2: Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Thursday, 5th October 2023 |
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.

Supermarket 2: Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Thursday, 5th October 2023 |
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.

Advanced Car Thursday, 28th September 2023 |
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.

Supermarket 1: Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Tuesday, 19th September 2023 |
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.

Botanical Garden: Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Thursday, 14th September 2023 |
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.

Ghost Town 2: Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Saturday, 9th September 2023 |
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.

Toytanic 1/2: Improved AI Nodes
Track Mod Friday, 8th September 2023 |
Some areas are left with less nodes because it's actually beneficial for some of my test cars or leads to more varied ai behavior and at other times makes no practical difference. I'm not particularly focused on consistency for node density as long as I get the desired car behavior and the repos are not too far appart.
