Liveries without "endurance kit"??

How can be created liveries WITHOUT "ENDURANCE KIT" if the
"Endu Lights" will not be needed ???

 

If i remember correctly i think this is by design that you can only use endu kits.

 

I wanna bump this, because I think, it's a pity that we are limited to the endurance versions in single player. A lot of nice skins I'll never see in my races.
And I wonder why in the config file there is a line to activate/deactivate the endu kit, it just doesn't work for custom skin cars.

 

Yeah i would like to see this implemented too, since I like the look from some of the cars better with their sprint lights.

Maybe it's also not as easy to implement as we may think or there are other limitations.

 

Yeah, might be the case.
I could imagine, that sprint and endu models are completely separated from each other, so you would need to choose which version you want before it loads the model and than you would need the assignment to the AI cars that are loaded, too etc.

But that brings me to another question. Is there a load order for the cars & skins?
Because it feels like, I always drive against the same opponents. Usually I drive against 29 AI cars, except of course tracks with less pit boxes. And without being able to check it right now and on the assumption that all '24h of Spa' liveries are in the game, I don't even get to see all these skins as well. I mean, there were about 70 entries in 2019.

E: Of course, changing the season to 2018 or to IGTC changes some cars, I'm aware of that.

 

The opponents depend on the cup from my knowledge. If choosing the appropriate race modes you'll get the correct opponents. With a quick race it depends on the car you choose. There's two sets of vehicles. When choosing a sprint cup car, you'll get the sprint opponents. When choosing and endurance car, you'll get the endurance opponents. With the IGTC Quick Race you'll get them from all races, because there are less liveries that the game can choose from.

This also leads to to a "not full grid" when selecting 50 cars on Spa and choosing sprint cars. There's not enough liveries to choose from. (With Endurance it's completely full)

 

@DusterBuster
The thread is about custom liveries. And you can only use them in 'Quick Race' or 'Custom Race Weekend' (<- which I use)
You are right though, that if you choose a 2019 sprint cup livery, it will load the 2019 sprint cup opponents and so on.

I'm not sure, if my PC could handle 50 cars, never tried. But that's not my point.
If I do a 'Custom Race Weekend' and my car is using a custom skin, I'm automatically in the Endurance-Skin load order for the opponents.
There should be, depending on the starting grid of 2019 be about 70 skins to choose from. But I only get the same 29 skins, every race I do.
So my assumption was, there is some kind of priority load order for the cars, but I would like it if they could get shuffled, so there is at least more variety in the Endurance class itself, if it's not possible to get custom skins without endurance kits.

 

Ok, than i misunderstood you.
Yeah the best would be if we get to choose which kit we want to drive, so we could choose our opponents with a custom livery too.

 

Try editing file in your car.json, and use pattern 100, at least there are two kind of chassis, just take a look at Aston Martin 2019, with design 1 and with design 2, in the livery editor from game, compare and you can see differences

 

I just quote myself from above

 

The option is in the customs/car json files because we were able to deselect the endurance option before, although not through the UI. I assume it was disabled because people moaned too much about it being dark at night:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That being said, I'd like to have the sprint option back as well, it's not like you can see so much more with the endurance lights anyways. But it is what it is, you can't please everyone, this why we can't have nice things, yaddayadda...

 

Well, that's interesting. That means, they either changed something fundamental, or it should be relatively easy to give us the option back.
And if people 'need' them, they should select them before they join a random race/CP server.

I agree. Plus, not all Endurance Races in real life are held at times that force additional lights.

 

Was this really possible? Bought ACC back in early access, but didn't exactly remember that. I tried it back then when the livery editor was implemented, but thought it didn't do anything.

Was this before the "official" implementation of custom liveries?

 

Probably, yes.

I can't remember specifics about what update did what, but before we had the 2019 cars I preferred to use the 991gt3 with the cheap looking sprint lights. (don't judge me)

It might also have been in the period where we only could do custom liveries via entry lists on the servers, but yeah - that's quite some time ago...

So, where was I? Oh yes: Get off my lawn, young whippersnappers!

 

Yeah I like the sprint lights on the good old 991.1 also better. Somehow the endurance lights look to new on the old car.

Especially the almost useless indicators just look cool

 

I remember playing around with those settings a little bit, but wasn't really interested, because you only could make the custom liveries as you can now with the in game editor and not 'real custom' with the templates nowadays.
I checked the guide I used (not sure about links here, so if you search for 'Assetto Corsa Competizione custom livery felixdicit' you should find it) and it has the line:

• useEnduranceKit: basically decides whether to use the endurance lighting kit or not. 0 is none, 1 is endurance. There might be more options per car, but I haven’t checked that.

but I'm not sure if it worked back than.

 

Well, useEnduranceKit=0 doesn't work.
It's a shame, especially for the Huracan 2019. Because the non endurance Version uses the iconic Huracan front lights, while the endurance version uses simple generic looking lights.

 

Oh, I've got to take that back. It actually works, just not in the garage.
I changed endurancekit to zero in my existing custom championchip files and now the Huracan is the non endurance version.

Ok, all fine.

 

Sadly doesn't work on custom skins, but good to see it works in the championship mode.

 

Works perfectly on my custom skin within my custom championship.
