Hey man. im using your fantastic script for a private server to do some racing with friends. we are also using moded cars. is there a way I can add the moded cars so they are recognised by your script. currently any moded car that is used just shows up as NULL in the records and stuff and im assuming they also will not get used for the random races. do you know how i would add these in to be used properly?
any help would be appreciated. i have very little experience with coding and such. I did try a few different things to add them in but no luck and dont think i can figure this out myself.
Thatās because you need to define the Car name in a script within the folder your cars are in.
I havenāt used add-on vehicles with the scripts. I donāt have any experience with add-on vehicles, but, Iāll try to figure out how you can use them with my scripts. You will eventually add the name of the add-on vehicle to the vehicles.txt file which is used as the source of any vehicles you can spawn.
Iāve been working on the scripts and have changed quite a bit of it. There shouldnāt be any significant functional changes to the commands. Iāve changed the vehicles.txt file into a .json file as an example of what Iāve changed. Iāve also renamed the raceData.json file to trackData.json. Iāve also found and fixed a bunch of bugs that I didnāt notice before. Iām also working on how-to videos for the scripts which helped me find most of the bugs. After Iām satisfied with my changes, Iāll upload them to github. I donāt know when that will happen, but it shouldnāt be too long.
I just figured out how to spawn add-on vehicles. The vehicleās model name is in the vechicles.meta file between the <modelName> tags.
For example, the model name for my add-on vehicle in the vehicles.meta file is:
<modelName>gemera</modelName>
I can spawn the vehicle with '/races spawn gemera'. Unfortunately, its name shows up as NULL like you posted. Iāve found one way to fix that.
In your fxmanifest.lua or __resource.lua file for the add-on vehicle, add the following:
client_script {
'vehicle_names.lua'
}
In the same directory as the fxmanifest.lua or __resource.lua file of your add-on vehicle, create a file named 'vehicle_names.lua'
Add the following to the 'vehicle_names.lua' file:
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
AddTextEntry('gemera', 'Koenigsegg Gemera')
end)
'gemera' is the model name and 'Koenigsegg Gemera' is the name displayed when you spawn the vehicle. You will need to do this for each add-on vehicle.
Thereās probably a more elegant solution to this. Itās one solution I found that seems to work.
Add the model name of your add-on vehicles to the 'vehicles.txt' file and you should be able to use them in the drop-down lists in the panels. You should be able to use them in random vehicle races as well.
that is amazing thank you and worked that out so fast as well. i will update my server later and test this myself make sure i dont get any issues but you have explained it very clearly.
would i also add the model name to the vehicle class texts such as the 00 to 21 depending on what class i would want to put them in?
i also do have some vehicle packs that have more than one car, for those would i just add in a line to the same Vehicle_names.lua such as:
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
AddTextEntry(āgemeraā, āKoenigsegg Gemeraā),
AddTextEntry(āS98ā, āKarin S98Kā)
end)
I believe the vehicle class is set in the vehicles.meta file between the <vehicleClass> tags. The vehicle class text files are not used for anything anymore. They were a convenience for a past version of the scripts that used text files as vehicle lists. Iām going to remove them since they arenāt used anymore.
You are correct about adding a line to the Citizen.CreateThread function for each car in the multi-car add-on pack. Iāve tested this on a multi-car add-on pack and it works.
I did some testing with it last night and have the ones i tested and working with your script which is great. I havent had a chance to test the random races but by the looks of it i would agree and looks like it would work. though it is a little harder to test haha.
Thank you for your help and how quickly you got back to me with this.

-Added ability to change vehicle of spawned AI driver using ai spawn command
-Added ability to change vehicle that player is driving by using spawn command
-Only allow saving or overwriting AI groups when race is registered, not after race has started
-Disabled spawn command when player is joining a race or player is in a race
-Allow registering a race if editing a track
-Renamed āEditā panel to āTrackā panel

-Removed winningsRL variable from races:finish event handler because it was redundant
-Used file names with LoadResourceFile and SaveResourceFile instead of file paths with native lua IO functions
-Load vehicles.json to create all vehicle list at server startup instead of loading vehicles.txt every time player joins

May go back and test this out on my local server, but specifically for The AI racingā¦
Looks like you have been busyā¦
Excellent

It was a bunch of bug fixes and some command changes. Nothing new about the AI driving ability. If you find anything that seems broken, let me know please.
Nope,
I didnt mention there was anything new I was just saying, you have been busy & I was just making a statement, and was interested only in the Ai part ( Purely to make video footage) (I mean I never really tested it out before, anyway).
Still having fun with this script set. GF bought a new system for her house that I could use, started a new local server, added races, and fun against the AI. Iām still terrible, but have fun making tracks and occasionally streaming them.

Iām glad youāre enjoying the scripts. Someone requested a feature for random races where the same model vehicle does not appear again in later laps. Iām probably going to implement this as an option for random races, but it will be a while before I work on it. They also requested random upgrades which Iāll look into later on.
This race system would be sick as hell, if it integrated in this Racing Framework (GTA Online style)
Hardly call that a race system!
The OP here, his system is unique, the script you linked to is just basic coding, why would it have to be intergrated, when this script here is far more superia with so many featuresā¦?

I mean the start Custscene
Look forward to this, if your still working on this script.
Anyway you can add in transform option, you know like the ever popular change car at a transform checkpoint?
Iāve been playing against AI racers again, and I changed driveMode: via Driving Style Calculator - GTA V from 787004 default to 262716 which does not have the old Reckless tag and they no longer run into the back of trucks, trailers, and other large vehicles, at least not today. Still playing with all the settings. Thank you again for this wonderful script. Helicopter Frogger races are always a blast.
Nice, I might have to try this.
