IMSA 2.0 RANDOM FOR NEW CSM 1.27c |SHARED|
Posted by Meteoro405
IMSA 2.0 RANDOM
After more than 20 years using and creating GP4 mods and tracks, I needed something new that would generate something unimagined.
A super special thanks to Ronald (ZaZ) for modifying CSM to make my nonsense work.
This MOD requires CSM 1.27c (or higher)
What we try to do with this new variant is to generate unpredictability. Which means that you do not know what power, grip, probabilities of mechanical failures, chances of error, braking range, fuel consumption, etc., etc. are in more than 300 random variables (307 to be exact) that are initialized every time the mod is run. I hope you can use it as a template, replacing the elements you wish but without necessarily having to get involved in programming.
Options to activate/deactivate from the CSM menu
EXTRA AI ERROR CHANCE
Activate/deactivate the chance of error for the AI
Activate/deactivate a random level for the chance of AI error
EXTRA LEVEL AI BREAKING RANGE
Activates/deactivates the braking range for the AI
Activates/deactivates a random level for the braking range for the AI
PERFORMANCE RANGE
Activate/deactivate performance ranges
LEVEL FAILURE PROBABILITY RANGE
Activate/deactivate a random level probability of failures
QUALY POWER
Activate/deactivate random level of performance for individual classification
Activate/deactivate random level of performance for team classification
RACE POWER
Activate/deactivate a random performance level for individual race
Activate/deactivate random level of performance for team races
Activate/deactivate random level for "grid inversion" (the most powerful and fastest in qualifying will be less powerful and slow in the race and vice versa) in Level 1 (smooth differences for longer races)
Activate/deactivate random level for "grid inversion" (the most powerful and fastest in qualifying will be less powerful and slow in the race and vice versa) in Level 2 (marked differences for shorter races)
Activate/deactivate "Factory Team" mode, choosing a team from each of the 4 brands, assigning them more power randomly
GRIP RANGE
Activate/deactivate the grip for classification by +/- 10% randomly for each car
Activate/deactivate the grip for the race by +/- 10% randomly for each car
Activate/deactivate the grip for qualifying and the race by +/- 10% randomly for each car
Activates/deactivates the randomization of the random values of the PFs
Activates/deactivates the grip for the classification in +/- 10% randomly for each car and the randomization of the random values of the PF
TIRES
Activates/deactivates the random assignment of a tire color at random, they will be side, soft, hard or medium (yellow, white or red) for all cars equally
Activates/deactivates the random assignment of 3 tire colors at random, they will be side, soft hard and medium (yellow, white and red) for all cars
Enable/disable random assignment of all tire colors at random for all cars
FUEL EFFICIENCY
Activates/deactivates fuel efficiency, assigning a random fuel consumption value for each car (some may have to make an unexpected stop for fuel).
PIT STOP TIME (w.i.p)
Activates/deactivates the random amount of pit stop time.
NON-RACE SESSIONS
Activates/deactivates the random number of consecutive cars and the fuel for Free Practice.
Activates/deactivates the random number of consecutive cars and fuel for Friday Practices.
Activates/deactivates the random number of consecutive cars and fuel for Saturday Practices.
Enables/disables the random number of consecutive cars for Ranking.
Enables/disables random number of consecutive cars and fuel for Warm-Up.
Finally, I decided to create a file that generates the random variables, in batch language (compatible with Win7 or higher) and not leave it closed in an EXE, so that anyone can modify it to their liking. The file is GP4-random-gen.bat and is located in the DATA folder
Many of the variables are added or taken away from the values established in the tracks. For example, if the fuel consumption set for a track by its author is very low, the random increase will not be noticeable.
The mod is an "excuse" to try these new features in GP4. Even so, it consists of 4 car models and 69 skins, which allow you to build a huge number of cars.wad with 5 clicks in the CSM menu.
Random values (within a reasonable range) are assigned for the fuel consumption of each of the cars, so you may suffer from stress on the last lap or have an unplanned pit stop.
All these functionalities can be activated or deactivated from the CSM mod, so the number of possible combinations is very high.
You can even randomize the random variable of the Performance Files!
When you run the mod, all the variables are renewed and you will only be able to see while sitting behind the wheel, in qualifying or the race, how the variables were generated.
Think of it as a template for any mod

Incredible development, looking forward to trying it out
thank you Ariel, this seemes to be a great feature for more realism
incredible, it will be requested, and for no-csm mod will it work?
*{ Playing GP4 since 2007 }*
Superb Ariel! Thanks for your work with Ronald.
