Fork of the free version of csp-traffic-tool which adds extra features like traffic moving out of your way.

- High LOD models load at 250m distance from player (instead of 80m) to prevent lights of traffic turning on only when very close
A small experiment with adding traffic to Assetto Corsa (nothing fancy, offline and without replay support for now).
To use it:
- Download missing data and extract data folder to “csp-traffic-tool” (not included by default to keep CSP lighter): https://files.acstuff.ru/shared/IeBU/data.zip. Data contains car models, colliders and font to generate license plates on fly. Models are LOD C and D of a couple of original cars.
If you would want to add new cars, just use those LODs and move all nodes but wheels to a node “BODY” so that car body can be moved as car accelerates or slows down.
- Prepare track: for scripting physics to work, track should have custom physics enabled and explicitly allow for scripts to alter physics. For that, edit track’s “surfaces.ini” (can be found in “content/tracks/trackfolder/data” or in “content/tracks/trackfolder/layout/data”). Note: after doing so, you would not be able to use this track online (if server would verify integrity) or with original Assetto Corsa, that’s the whole point of custom physics. So, consider making a backup file.
Actual edits are: • Change WAV_PITCH in SURFACE_0 to “extended-0” (this activates custom track physics); • Add following somewhere:
[_SCRIPTING_PHYSICS]
ALLOW_TOOLS=1
- Run Assetto Corsa in regular practice session on that track. Find in-game app Objects Inspector, open it, click “Tools” and select traffic planner. This tool allows to both edit traffic grid and test it live.
Traffic grid is saved as “traffic.json” next to “surfaces.ini”. If you have track Daikoku Parking by Soyo, here is a prepared patch: https://files.acstuff.ru/shared/y37I/data.zip
Whole thing is currently in a pretty rough shape and needs some improvements, but it should work. Also, it’s possible to split editor and traffic-running-script and move traffic to act like a track script (it would require adding “ALLOW_TRACK_SCRIPTS=1” to that section in “surfaces.ini” though).
If you would be interested in forking script and turning it into something else, please feel free to do so. It’s mostly just an example and a testing ground of how new Lua APIs can be used.
