ai pacenotes (rally) v0.5.2-alpha

Is it also possible to read out the damage state after finish? That would be fun, too, thank you!

I know that you can see this in some debug window:

 

Hey, first thanks for your work this mod is awesome ! But unfortunately listening to the pacenotes in english, translate them in my head and driving at the same time is a bit hard for me haha. How do I change the voice language? In the mods files I've found "default.voices.json" and "languages.mainSettings.json", so I suppose that it's possible to change the language. I've tried adding a french version to the languages json but it doesn't seem to changE anything... Thanks for your help

EDIT: Also on the screenshots you took for the mod presentation, you have much more scenarios than me. How do I get them all and not only a few ones?

 

Hello
I'm kind of a bit lost trying to figure out on how to change default voice and default pace note style.

a small guide would be nice.
plus id like to add my own google text to speech voices (if possible, i really loved the old one, that male voice, should be included)

and one question - where da icons at (pacenote directions)?

oh and id love to help add support for 'Swedish' and 'Latvian' although wouldn't be necessary after the implementation of the suggestion bellow this text

also if possible, try looking into using DeepL, its like 100x better than google translate, i think they have a way to request an API key and you get tons of translations per day for free
although API key thingy isn't needed if your just gonna do manual translation using the website

although i don't think they have a voice for most things but at-least the text translation is outstanding.
good for the use of translating the text, and then using a google text to speech to read out the translated text.

yet another suggestion for following up of speech voices settings and such, if possible, the UI where you can change pacenote co-driver volume n timing, could possibly add a drop-down for voices/languages
(just ctrl + c, ctrl + v the dropdown with the refresh button from the mission loading thing)

 

Hello, thank you so much for this wonderful mod! I am having a few issues though -

1. Most of the time, the voice calls out the "four left" turn immediately after finishing the previous call, like even before i actually hit the hairpin. (See note screenshots)
2. Repositioning the nodes (green, red, or blue) is problematic, because every time I click and drag on one, it does move it, but also throws a bunch of errors that sends the rally editor back to the mission editor. (See error log screenshot)
3. In Racelink, the "New Voice" button does nothing but reset the values of the default "My Voice". And even when I change and save the value for "My Voice" and select it inside the in game Rally Editor (under Notebook => Co-Drivers), it makes no effect. Still the British woman.

Thanks again for everything! I can provide any files necessary, just let me know

 

Thank you for your reply! Yeah I've been messing with it a lot. I did manage to change the voice, and the overlapping calls is actually fine. I think the only real issue now is the logged error on moving nodes. Note, it is not just the audio trigger that causes this. Adjusting the corner start/end nodes causes the same exact thing. I've moved the audio trigger many times and it has never stopped the error from occurring for any of the nodes. Sometimes my cuts aren't perfect, and I would love to be able to reasonably edit them in the rally editor without having them disappear and change back to a different menu, then I have to click "rally editor" again to move a node again, rinse and repeat.

 

make sure that you don't have two drivelines. it can happen if you click on import recce twice, or maybe you restart the recording without clearing the old one first. i did that once by mistake and it was causing a bunch of weird errors.

 

That's a good tip! I don't believe I had multiple driving lines, but if I did, the one that should have been cleared was only for like the first turn, not others that I was trying to move (which all error). I assume you mean two drivelines, per mission right? Multiple custom missions, each with a single driveline/pacenotes, should be fine?

Thanks again for the help.

 

yes sure i mean two on the same mission.

 

I had the same issue as Boostbuster, which in my case was the fact that the code in beamng transformed the numbers written in digits as written in plain letters (i.e "left 5" => "left five") when looking for the audio file, but when generating the hash for the filename, RaceLink didn't apply such a transformation when downloading the soundfiles, resulting in a different hash/filename than expected and thus a fileNotFoundError. The issue arises when using older files where the numbers didn't got automatically transformed (in my case the pikes peak pacenotes) and are still in plain digits.

I would either suggest making racelink do the aforementioned transformation on the notes content before generating the hashes for saving files to fix this issue. You'd have to regenerate every audiofiles or have a script that renames them in the pacenotes already made tho.
Or you could add in the beamng mod a check such as if the file is not found, try re-hashing without modifiying the note content and try findng the file that way (or even rename it the correct way fixing the issue retroactively), so that you don't have to regen the files.

This mod is incredible nonetheless, please keep up the good work.

I also ported the pikes peak in the dirt version of the map, they were ported as-is from the tarmac version and I didn't test them thoroughly, they seem to work fine as it's the same layout but w different surface.

 

Hi,
Is this mod working with Beam NG v0.33.3? I can install it but then nothing shows up under the scenarios. I've tried this version 0.5.2 and the latest from github 0.5.5
Thanks

 

Today I can see the scenarios... I have no idea what I have done that is different from the other day.

 

i think the scenarios should work. if not try to start the missions from freeroam. it is working on my side.
what is not working anymore since 0.33 for me is the rally editor so i am not able to work on new stages..

 

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to specify your own audio files for specific pace notes in the editor? I'm in the process of extracting all of the pacenote files from Dirt Rally 2 and cataloging them to create a full library. Is it possible to manually select a specific file for each pacenote trigger within the editor? If there is a guide somewhere about how to do this that would be great.

(please excuse the username, this account is very old haha...)

Thanks,

I belive so yes, however, it is much more convenient to use the AI functionality as it will automatically do all the distance calls. Another bonus is that the AI voice can say exactly what you want so for example it could say "Left 3 past house" which isn't possible with premade voice lines that you cannot edit.

 

I've used this mod before and it worked fine, i updated to the latest version and ran into this message. I found the racelink app (which isnt linked in the mod description btw) and have it running. mod is unpacked. not sure if i'm missing something.
