Assetto Corsa AI DRIFT Introduction - Modified cars and tracks - download links

ASSETTO CORSA AI DRIFT
...
WhaGwan Everybody ?
Firstly, sorry for the poor graphics quality settings in my video. I don't have a proper gaming machine; I'm just using a 10-year-old laptop :)
AI Drifting, well, it's not really drifting, is it?
...but it's looking better with every attempt, and it's definitely great fun to have those silly AI drivers on the track.
This is actually my third attempt at getting the AI to go sideways; the previous two weren't good enough to be published.
It's nothing too complicated, just a few tweaks in the car's settings, but it took a lot of time to figure out what's what exactly.
This video provides a brief representation of what has been achieved so far in the realm of different AI driving styles.
100% of the content in this video is AI driving/drifting, the ony human intervention is pressing the CTRL+C buttons.
All featured cars have modified settings for AI drifting. All the tracks have modified AI line and speed settings.
It's possible to convert any unencrypted car with drift suspension into an AI drifter,
but there are a few important limitations to consider. In Assetto Corsa, AI drivers never use the handbrake,
and when they reach a deep angle, they opt for braking instead of accelerating to straighten the car.
Converted cars are functioning well on any track with a decent AI line, but the optimal results are achieved when using a modified drift AI line.
Now, it's time to share :) I've prepared two downloads for you to test out, more is coming soon...

Please BACKUP all your original files !!! Cars converted for AI drift are pretty much undrivable.
Tracks with modified AI lines are not suitable for normal racing.

I'll be releasing modified car settings and adjusted AI racing lines for all the above cars and tracks soon;
I just need to tidy up a few things.

Since this is the start of your proof of concept, do you have any specific endgoal for having the AI drift scripts?
(by this I mean how fast you want them to go, where you want them to drift, and if you want to see if they can work in other tracks)
Still, the mod looks promising, keep up the good work.

[@WhaGwanMan]

Thanks mate,
Considering all the limitations of AI drifters, such as the fact that they don't use handbrake
and they opt for braking instead of accelerating to straighten the car when they reach a deep angle,
the primary goal of this experiment is to mimic their driving style to that of real drifters as closely as possible.
I've got 4-5 setting groups created and I always try to match performance of a converted car to its original.
(i.e. street cars, semi pro, competition, pro...etc.)
Converted cars are functioning well on any track with a decent AI line,
but the optimal results are achieved when using a modified drift AI line. If you compare original AI line from Barcelona Moto layout with the modified one - the difference is clear.
I will share settings for three quick cars and AI line for Ebisu Higashi this week, so stay tuned. :)

@@WhaGwanMan Hopefully it all goes well man.
Also for the expert drifters, does it include mimicking a wild drift while going fast type style?
Since I think it would complement the setting of mountain passes but they're a whole other can of worms considering how tight they are and it will introduce more complications to Enemy AI.
Since the mountain passes feel empty without a rival that can do said stunts while going fast and it's not really as convenient finding reasonable friends/drivers to do that.
TL;DR this mod even for the circuits would have the game be partially D1GP of PS2 and enhance the single player experience.
P.s. no rush however, since it must've been really hard on you to get this to work.

@@sixteenthbluemoon7606 Everything is possible, at least partially. AI's just follow a vector line, so whatever is drawn, they will go that way.
"enhance the single player experience" - that's actually what I'm trying to achieve since day one :)

[@BudahKei]

yoo! You've gotta explain your process, I would definitely start converting my own stuff as well.

[@RogueBeatsARG]

Can you make it for DWG cars? maybe have a different dataset for AI thu lua?

[@WhaGwanMan]

I'm actually testing DWG car pack right now, looks promising...
...but first one to go will be WDT Street pack - it's almost ready.

[@02wc21]

omg，it is so great, always dreaming tandem with real ai, is it possible to make a video to tutorial how to make a new drift layout for new track? It would became a new initial d game haha XD🤣

[@WhaGwanMan]

I'm using a built-in app in Assetto Corsa to record the racing line.
You can find plenty of video tutorials about it on YT.
Additionally, there's an 'ai_hints.ini' file
where you can specify parameters such as speed, aggression, braking...etc.
It's just a plain text file, so it's relatively easy to figure out.

[@sixteenthbluemoon7606]

@@WhaGwanMan Speaking of layouts, how does one make new ones for tracks?
For example (and prolly most obvious lmao), there's layouts I want to make for SRP, like the whole wangan line strip (similar to BG4's stage), and the New Belt Line but I'm not sure where to start, also do you have any tips for them?

[@WhaGwanMan]

@@sixteenthbluemoon7606I'm not making new track layouts, I'm just creating new AI lines on existing layouts.
These should give you some answers:

Hey can you help me wit that i would like a ghost car i recorded to be on my server online at all times

...no idea how to help you mate, i didn't realise thats even possible
