Nice

You need to install Workshop items for them to appear in-game, not just click Subscribe!
The description of this mod says how to do that.

Hey, I have a question from the workshop still se car and one mod and I'm looking for it in the game but I can't find either the car or the game module :( what's wrong ??? Thanks for the answer :)

Thanks to this, I can finally reach 900kph :)

Do the acceleration test, it's at the end of the main straight, marked by a green flag on the minimap

How do you get to the infinate straight? I never been able to figure it out

awesome :)

The portal fix is now included in the item :)

Maybe the SL2 cars, yes.

:) ... and thank YOU for reporting that bug! :D

Look, I think you're already doing your share for the community already as it is :)

Anyway, I think testing all other cars when adding a new car might be necessary to be completely sure it won't be unstable, since many cars have interrelations with other cars. I think that's pretty much the reason why it becomes so unstable after 10-15 cars added.

Well, I think for now I will stick to just keeping that menu open and trying my way around :)

Thanks for your help and guidance, it's much appreaciated!

That's a pretty cool idea :D
Should be fairly doable, add a "testme" style menu to the main menu and it loads the car, then it's entire catalog and throws it into a wall at 900km/h and if the game doesn't crash, you can consider it (mostly) safe :D
Maybe I'll make that eventually, but I have a ton of other stuff to finish for now.

My problem is solely related to cars, because some will crash the game before even starting, some crash after opening free race, others crash on opening the buying menu etc. Some even work for long periods of time until a collision or whatever down goes the game.

It is impossible to ensure a car won't crash the game eventually it seems.

This is ambitious, but what if you could make a "mod" for testing all options with a new car from the menu? So it opens a map with the car and smashes it or something right from the menu.

I don't know what exactly would be needed, but that would be a start that would help a lot.

We really need a surefire method to know a car won't crash the game.

Hehe, BB93 was pretty much the inspiration for it :D
Oh how I wish there was something better than error.log...
If you don't know which mod is causing it, you'll just have to start removing them until it works :/

Ah okay, great I will start doing that. Well the super loader makes this game so much more enjoyable. I remember playing the BB93 editions of the game back in the day and they were 10x faster than the official game here on steam and I really missed that!

Regardless, I have another question now that you seem like quite the modder :)

Often my game crashes without any error information (I guess a broken car or plugins etc.), so I guess the JVM dies before managing to write anything to the log, but do you know of a way to debug this better? It's so frustating not to understand what exactly makes it crash, so I could help the situation more accordingly.

With "it", I mean the installer, though it works with the game itself too.

Actually, you can already do that, just open it though the game folder instead of Steam!
Also thanks for calling the super loader "awesome" :p

Yeah sure, I mean allow the game to be launched while the installer is still open. Of course the game has to be restarted, but with your awesome super loader that doesn't take much time.
It would be very nice for getting mods quickly tested so you can have a "more" bug free game experience.

Yup! That would be nice :D
Changing files while the game is open wouldn't really work, the game needs to be restarted so everything can be scanned, recompiled and reloaded properly.

Oh okay, well I haven't made any plugins as of yet, so didn't even know :)
You're probably right about the lookup for items, but if that is the case it would make much more sense with a refresh / clear cache button. That would allow turning items on and off in a breeze. Or simply allow the installer to be open next to the game, so edits could be done much quicker.

You're thinking of the installer. The uploader is a whole seperate thing that can be found under modding_tools.
I agree, it really shouldn't take that long to start.
All items take roughly the same amount of time to load, no matter the size, so I suspect it's contacting the Steam servers for item info or something like that.

I think that little program is becoming increasingly important as the community puts more and more stuff together. Furthermore, I find it exceptionally annoying that it has to load all modules. I don't really get what has to be checked upon loading the program. The existence of a folder or whatever shouldn't take more than a split second for any number of plugins, but it takes upwards 10 seconds for less than 20 plugins to load.

The little program used for uploading only allows you to add new items, modifying is a little more difficult to implement and the devs don't see it as a feature of high priority

Nice it looks and works better ;-) Thanks for the fix, but what's the deal with workshop items not being updateable? Does it have to do with the workshop manager or what?

Glad you're having fun, but I feel bad for your hard drive going nuts all the time, so...

If you know what you're doing, here's the fixed file for now:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gx9tmmcb6rztj6v/TestTrack.java?dl=0 :)
(sl\scripts\game\src)

Well I was checking my error.log for other reasons when I noticed it was completely bloated with test track errors.
But hey, it's still a great add-on none-the-less!
I'm having great fun with it!

Right, I've figured out what went wrong, It'll be fixed as soon as possible (when workshop items can be updated).
The object creation is relying on something I had added to the files a long time ago and it didn't cross my mind at all that others wouldn't have this feature :|

Thanks for reporting it, 300 downloads and you were the first to notice such a major flaw...

So everything but the lights is missing, eh?
Hm...
Well, the Superloader has nothing to do with this, I can tell you that much, just tested it.

I'll see if it happens on a fresh install!

Checked up on it. It happens immediately after starting a 1 mile test.
I don't have any cones, just lights at the gates.
I should mention I am using super loader.

Hmm I just installed the plugin. I didn't collide with anything doing the test run. I went mighty fast, but no collisions. I will try again now.

Interesting, seems like the yellow spinny cones on the sides failed to appear or somehow disappeared...
Did by any chance some part collide with them?
Does this always happen or is it just some anomaly?

I've got 57 MB error.log file (1.8 million lines) after using this for 10 minutes with a whisper going 900km/h.

It keeps dropping this to the log file:

Velocity-preserving portal down!

Someone else requested something like that a while ago, this portal was the answer :p

Can you make white map that you can drive as fast as you want without killing yourself because of walls.

You always make cool mods.

Spah sappin' mah velocity-preserving portal!
