Help with Modding AC

[Cypher]

Hey, guys! I'm trying to mod my copy of Assetto Corsa by adding in additional cars and and tracks, but I'm running into a snag with learning how to do this, or getting copies of cars from other games and such. Can someone help me with this? I plan on trying to make replicas of NASCAR race tracks, just for fun, and to potentially add this to my portfolio for later use when I'm going after my career job, hence why I'm asking.

Best place for info is Assetto Corsa official forums.
http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?forums/general-modding-discussion.26/
you have a lot of info there about creating new cars.

If you only want to download new cars-circuits to your assetto, http://thesimreview.blogspot.co.uk/
http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/categories/assetto-corsa.1/
are the best places :)

Actually making the mods is my goal, however the Assetto Corsa forums requires a membership to actually VIEW any of the threads, which I find VERY annoying...

If you go ot the forum and sign in through steam, it registers automatically that you have bought the game and gives you full access.

[ArkanHell]

Yeah, really annoying, but if you have the game is not a problem ( you need to link your steam account too coz they dont want ppl who dont own the game in the forum).
There is info about modding in racedepartment too, but now i spend more time playing than modding cars.
BTW sometime ago i help with physics in a unfinished mod in rFactor and i love to see the mod into assetto corsa, when u learn how to mod in assetto , tell me if you are interested in port the mod, is a smart roadster mod, i can talk with original modder to ask for use the actual model of the car (not completely finished i have the beta in my computer and i can show you screenshots) and i can help you with physics and sound ( i own the car in real life) , and i can talk with more smart roadster users from a forum to ask donations for your work :).

A Brabus Smart Roadster would be awesome sauce.

Mine is a Brabus killer, a 82hp model with Runline rims and ECU reprogrammed with 115hp (14 more than the brabus) :D, my little turbo goes up to 1.5 bars!!! hehehe

Hey, count me in on that, once I learn how to properly make mods for this.

At the very least, anyone needing a tester for mods, I'm always willing to work with and test specifics for mods and such, as long as credit is given where due. Like I said, I'm working on building a portfolio, so if I can get help with that, that's always highly appreciated.

this is for tracks but its the same for cars only with cars drop it in the cars folder :)

Installing mods I know. That's straight forward and easy to do. I'm talking about MAKING mods for this game. Big difference.

Are these cars you've made for other games or are you just trying to rip cars from other games?

Actually, they're ports that I was hoping to do. Is that frowned upon? If nothing else, making cars from scratch is something else I was hoping to do.

[Talkie Toaster]

Yeah ports are totally frowned upon, especially on the steam community and banned completely in the official AC forums.

You'll get loads of help making cars from scratch there though.

And you sure as hell can't use ported content (=other people's work) in your portfolio.

You'll get ripped to shreds by the community for ripping content but on the other hand, put on a pedestal if you create something from scratch.
Don't be tempted to pass someone else's work off as your own (even wireframes) because you WILL get found out and you WILL be ostracized for it.

Ports or conversions are OK, IF you have permission from the original creators.

[Cypher]

Yeah, thanks for the heads up then. Any good tutorials on making them from scratch?
