Outdated Traffic Tool 1.2.1

The part about head-on AI collisions, that also happens on this road in ECA.


And sometimes, an AI car spawned by the Traffic menu may spawn underneath the map.

 

You mention that if I spawn police cars they would act like a police. How would I spawn them? Do they randomly spawn or how is this done?

 

Look at this video at 1:58

 

Okay, that explains a lot, I thought I just got a junk Pessima from the car spawner. Used-to pulling short straws here! I kept hearing brake sounds but it wasn't consistent with my (very rapid keyboard) controls/input, so I dismissed it as just something goofy.

This traffic thing is golden. The usefulness for AI path testing in my maps alone is just wicked awesome, and I have a lot of map refreshing to do in the next 2 weeks.

This is absolutely LIT LEGIT!

Must have mod for 2019!

Must adjust my AI paths quite a bit though - nothing too much to ask (They work great on the mountain in Roane County TN though, and the only reason they don't work as well elsewhere is because I had to conserve objects when it was limited to 4k max objects, and that limit is long gone now).

 

Nice! And a well deserved Feature as well! I just got into the office but I'm so excited to get home and try this out on the other maps! Fantastic work, and I can't wait to see what other features you're able to squeeze in here.

I do have one question on functionality: Are we still able to use ScriptAI with this? I think it would be awesome to script out some road races and then have random traffic thrown in the mix. Or does this interfere with the AI following the path?

 

really cool! but there are some issues...the cars just brake with no reason and and the AI modes don't really work and they are also even crashing

 

That's the game engine itself doing a majority of that. AI isn't perfect yet. Sometimes it's map design that can cause this issue too. Even after 3000~4000 hours of mapping (I've well-past lost count but a physically disabled man mapping for 3+ years now for this game... with lots of idle time), I still make buckets of boo-boo's.
The AI works great and it's way better for immersion. If the map is made in 5-star quality (or the AI routes are anyways, especially layered ones like I do), it'll work the best. If the AI is hit or miss or it's a really old map (or has parts that are very old, like Decal Roads from 0.4~0.8 game-versions), you could have more issues (and generally will). Before now there wasn't as much to test it with. This makes testing exponentially faster and more effective. Sometimes decal roads auto-join (intersections where decal roads meet at different angles are done by the game-engine bridging close nodes), in weird ways and it only shows up with the AI path debug or using this tool. This tool is taking the game and it's content to a whole new level by effectively raising the bar.

As for the traffic tool, I'm speechless. What can I say that's not already said. What can I say? The answer: It must be seen to be believed as it takes this game to another level as mentioned above.
--Nothing but glowing praise here
--Cheers!

 

This tool is an infinite amount of fun! thank you for that
Now off to driving calmly and respectful to other drivers...

 

Just gotta wait till Friday to try this out..

 

Is there a way to stop the cars from respawning?

 

Congrats on your 100th message

 

I have a question: Will there be a setting so cars can spawn in other lanes. Ex: Bob's pic. Will car be able to drive in BOTH lanes? Sorry I didn't explain well, I just didn't know how to really word it. I guess.

 

would be pretty neat but i think the problem come from how AI is hardcoded in this game, it make police cars in chase mode making a lot of mistakes too but the problem don't come from the mod cuz i could note that with default AI... i think AI is the most important thing to work for the developpers as well as improving framerate after 7 simultaneous cars x)

 

Gull, I left a review since this is absolutely mind blowing. Anyways how hard would it be to get the AI to honk at you if you almost head on collide with them etc?

 

Just tested the App. It's amazing. First I tested it on Utah. Everything was good, I even got a T Series into the mix. Although at some intersections, the cars seem to quickly change their mind, reverse, then pull onto the road they wanted to go to. This usually causes accidents, even with the AI Awareness on.

I also tested it on Garfield Heights. In some places, the cars were good, but in places like Downtown, Highway, some side streets, Gas Station, and School, it freaks out and some cars end up going in circles.

In the end though, the App is REALLY good and extremely creative. I'd give a 5/5.

 

I found a bug:
If an AI is teleported during your vehicle customization, your vehicle may disappear and the customization menu may glitch.

Picture: ETKI customization menu while driving a Satsuma 210

 

#MeltMyProcessor but one of these days I'll probably break down and give it a go.

 

Definitely, gamergull has earned a break. We’ll just be over here gushing over this accomplishment, so don’t mind us.

I finally got a chance to try this out this evening, and I love it! Right off the bat I went for 9 ai cars on Italy. Ran great, but too much. Scaled it back to 6 cars, and found it more realistic to the setting. Funny thing, having traffic around seemed to make my driving smoother and faster. Because you just need to be that more aware.

Something about van drivers though....it may be time to look at CDL requirements because apparently they just give out those licences.

One question, (slightly off topic), at what number should I be concerned about my processor temps?

 

The mod works great on maps like ECU and the Automation Test-rack, mostly because they only have 2 lane roads. I hope to see some better driving for 4 lane roads. Great mod though! Enjoy your break btw.
