mod still breaks styles and liveries even after running with the fixer mod

Are AI sets working in multiplayer? I am running my own server now and want to customize bots. I'm having only Novice, Amateur and Expert AI sets. Seems like there is no way I can do it on my server in multiplayer :(

I installed the mod and it broke all the liveries and color schemes on most of my cars, and removed many liveries and styles from the selection menu, so I couldn't even set my cars back to their previous appearances.
I uninstalled the mod and the liveries and styles were back, but the colors were still broken. I changed the colors to what they should have been, restarted the game, and everything was back to normal.
I tried re-installing the mod, and the problem just came back again.

>>RACEFEST ALL CARS RANDOM<<
>>RACEFEST 23 DIFFERENT MODELS<<
Would it be possible for you to add more different Carsclasses into these 2 Categorys?

Seeing a lot of A and B Cars. But only 1 C for Example.

Thank you for your Time and Effort <3

It just takes a while as each Ai driver and car has to be made, the colour codes, profile, data files.....
Vin Petrol  [author] 5 Jun, 2024 @ 1:26pm 
Thank you very much, other Ai racing mods that include my edit are.
US pro stocks
Rally cross mod
Iroc mod.... to name a few.
And most recent (and includes dynamic AI).
Nascar 88
I appreciate your input, these mods are for you guys, so your request will help lean me towards revisiting for some more Ai sets.
Whilst making Nascar 88 I discovered more tricks which help certain cars not to spin out, so I'll update with that too, when I do.
Thanks

Thank you for making this Mod! <3

Just did a few 15 Lap Races. Was so much better then Vanilla AI. And they still do dumb Mistakes sometimes. Great Mix of good Racing and being Wreckfest

Hope you find the time to include some more Cars in the Future. Fingers crossed :)

Thanks
The loss of "same as player" is not something I'm aware of, but it's not relevant as this mod only works when you use my >>>racecest....<<< Ai sets anyway.

Plus the same as player sets in this game are trash, they only assign a couple of different skins, so there is like loads of identical cars on the track.

Problem with that car is it's DLC and they hid all the data files, I could make it but they would all have sirens lol

Haha thats cool I'm so jealous of you yanks, cars here in UK are boring, I actually own a 79 firebird but it's super rare here.

Thanks
shumanator121 30 Apr, 2024 @ 7:32pm 
pretty col, but ive lost the "same as player" option and any idea if youll ever want to do a set for the Cardinal (crown vic) as those are raced on short tracks near me lol anyway cool mod man appreciate the work.
Vin Petrol  [author] 24 Apr, 2024 @ 12:33am 
Yes that's correct, it is really strange, I don't quite understand it.
Best way to deal with it is to not change style, as I believe they come with the race style as default, but if change it its gone, so only change the colours and liveries, unsub and resub to restore them.
Thanks

I like everything about this but it seems to break paint customization for a number of cars - Starbeast SS, Roadcutter, possibly the ones that are available as "single model race" AI sets.
Vin Petrol  [author] 15 Apr, 2024 @ 12:14am 
Hello
No sorry the DD mods have thier own individual Ai behaviour.
The Ai edit needs to be built into full custom Ai sets, so only works when you select one of the Racefest Ai sets
Thanks
SkinnyPimPcze 14 Apr, 2024 @ 7:44am 
hello is this WORK with DD LEGENDS mod ? :)
Karas 6 Mar, 2024 @ 1:07am 
Thaks for the reply
Vin Petrol  [author] 5 Mar, 2024 @ 4:00pm 
Hi, no problem
My 23 different models Ai set is specifically one of each car model, no two the same.
My Random Ai set is a mix of all the racing Ai opponents created for this mod, all categories.
Hope it helps.

Rallycross mod
US pro stocks
Iroc mod
Nascar 88.... are other scpecific category racing Ai mods if you didn't already know.
Thanks
Karas 5 Mar, 2024 @ 11:14am 
Hey man, can you tell me the difference between "All Cars Random" and "23 Different Models"
Vin Petrol  [author] 3 Mar, 2024 @ 8:09am 
Hi
This is the original racing Ai mod posted over 6 years ago.
I'm not too keen on the idea of crazy vehicles racing cleanly, and each Ai set has to be built from scratch so it's not something I wanted to put time into.

If you remove the clean racing aspect of your request there is lots of custom Ai sets for many vehicle types, even just from me.
Check out my other Ai sets as there are a lot.
Thanks
Karas 3 Mar, 2024 @ 7:39am

Can you please add an AI set similar to this one? So all kinds vehicles (from regular to crazier ones) show up whether they make sense for the event type or not. Asking you because original mod is outdated and has no DLC vehicles, and mod author hasn't been around for a long time.

Problem with your RACEFEST ALL CARS RANDOM set is that it is full of regular vehicles.
Vin Petrol  [author] 17 Feb, 2024 @ 4:14am 
Hi thanks
I'm not entirely sure it was a while ago, it's perhaps because of the way the mod had to be built, each car file was rebuilt to include the race edit, and I remember I had to edit some cars handling so the Ai wouldn't spin out with some cars.
Pipsette 12 Feb, 2024 @ 1:31am 
Hey Vin. Thanks for this! Exactly what I was looking for!!!
When I tune my car (suspension harder), it falls from B200 to B189.
Vin Petrol  [author] 10 Dec, 2023 @ 2:50pm 
Thank you very much
Glad you like it, really appreciate it :)
Dick Grater 8 Dec, 2023 @ 11:27pm 
Thank you.

Set a full field loose on the Rally Stage. After two laps no bot had achieved a DNF. So good, good times. Now I can set a sixty lap race and actually get a battle.

With normal bots (and humans, in my experience) half the field is wrecked by corner seven, rarely any bot completed more than three laps.

This mod rocks.
Vin Petrol  [author] 26 Aug, 2023 @ 7:12am 
If you stay out of the race and just watch them, They will race clean, only human player being out of race line causes accidents.
(Use race viewer to fly around live in free cam to watch)
I have removed any probability for them target other cars.
One factor that favours your experience is that they won’t stop if the track is blocked or Slow down if you turn into their front, resulting in them spinning you out, wich just means you are out of race line as they will not deviate from race line into you.

Hope it helps.
Harawanagangsta 25 Aug, 2023 @ 8:28am 
While they do seem to take a more 'stable' racing line while driving side by side. They have a seemingly new behavior of torpedoing into an apex and running full speed into the back side of your car. Have had it on every race with these sets. Ill even brake late for a corner and go wide and they'll full send it into specifically the back corner of the car and spin you out.
I really appreciate the work done here. But I think for me its gonna be vanilla for now.
Arkada 16 Aug, 2023 @ 11:37pm 
quality mod! too bad it can't work online. would really give my servers AI the kick in the ass they need
Vin Petrol  [author] 23 Jul, 2023 @ 2:12pm 
Hi
Online was never a thought with this mod, online Ai are referenced from a different place to the single player Ai, and even if they were not the racefest edits now have to be included in a fully rebuilt independent car file structure, so whilst with most of my single player mods, when asked with my skin mods if they work online I’d say “I’ve never tried but it should work if every online player has the same mods in the same order” but with this mod I’d say definitely not.
Thanks
Tuskegee 22 Jul, 2023 @ 8:56pm 
There does not seem to be a way to select an AI set when hosting a multiplayer server. Is that correct?
Vin Petrol  [author] 11 Jul, 2023 @ 11:21am 
Thank you very much, yes I personally use this, not only for its race focused opponents but also for its colourful grids, with no paint duplicates and subtle visible modifications.

The games graphics physics and damage are too good to just be a flame filled wacky racer I think.
Glad you like it.
4speed318 10 Jul, 2023 @ 9:31am 
you have fixed the game, it is fun to race the AI now
much more like the early version of wreckfest
before the devs made the AI annoying
Jarthuzad 17 May, 2023 @ 10:41am 
Can you perhaps upload a version without the changed styles? I like the old cheesy stuff but also hate the base ai sometimes lol
Lieuallen 7 Apr, 2023 @ 9:56am 
I see the Event Options screen where I can select the Racefest AI sets. But only when I create a Custom Event. Can I not use Racefest when I'm in Career mode?
Vin Petrol  [author] 13 Mar, 2023 @ 12:43am 
When selecting your custom race options there is a an opponents tab, click left or right to shuffle through and find the >>>>Racefest......<<<<<< Ai sets.
Race options are the last 2 screens before the track loads, pick track, pick car then you have the 2 race options screens
Thanks
ematt69 12 Mar, 2023 @ 3:24pm 
Where do you choose the AI set?
Vin Petrol  [author] 3 Mar, 2023 @ 2:19am 
Also make sure you select one of the >>RACEFEST........<< Ai sets included, otherwise the mod has no effect
Thanks
Vin Petrol  [author] 3 Mar, 2023 @ 2:17am 
Hi, thank you very much.
The mod works more in a way of removing the Ai’s bumping percentage and edits to overtake and block aggression rather than coding routes, however, although they don’t go out of their way to ram you anymore they don’t have any added intelligence for awareness, so if you are out of racing line they can still cut through you like a train.
Once you are familiar with the lines they take you should fined no side swiping.
Hope it helps
Nabby48 1 Mar, 2023 @ 5:20am 
i love whoever made this, but the AI cars will once in a while just full on drive into the side of you in a corner as youre passing them xD, not sure how easy it would be to code but maybe just have a playlist that just copies whatever car youre using and uses different decals rather than having a diff for each car, just a thought i dunno how modding works
Enoshima-v.ez. 20 Feb, 2023 @ 4:26pm 
Hey Vin, first off thanks for revamping this, was one of my must have mods back in the day!

Unfortunately I think something is conflicting with the DLC cars as you have mentioned in a comment before about vehicle upgrade parts. This also extends to paint jobs it seems. Cars such as the Speedie and Razor seem to lose over half their options in the paint shop. I can access them with the mod off but as soon as I re-enable it my paint jobs revert to default if they were using a livery not accessible with the mod on.

I am sure this probably effects other DLC cars too but I haven't tested it that extensively. Any chance this is something you could rectify when you get time? This mod is great and I'd hate to lose out on customisation just to run with it on.

Also as a sidenote - Any chance you could make an AI set which is A class random or 23 different models A class?

Love the mod otherwise.

Thanks for your great work, hope to see this continue progress!
Vin Petrol  [author] 14 Feb, 2023 @ 11:13am 
Thank you I’m glad you enjoy it, yes this game has potential to have various spin offs of motorsport, but they just kept it as a smash and win.
My Rallycross mod and US pro stocks mod both have Racefest Ai also if you fancy racing with different specific car types.
Thanks
Phoenix 10 Feb, 2023 @ 8:43am 
Racefest is still one of my favorite mods since I started playing Wreckfest in 2014!
Vin Petrol  [author] 10 Feb, 2023 @ 4:38am 
Ahh that’s good to know, as career is never thought of in my mods, most mods conflict career mode unless they are minor edits, so I’m glad that it’s perhaps only in career mode the problem occurs.
Thanks
Ottomic 9 Feb, 2023 @ 6:28pm 
No access to the game right now but I could swear neither boomer nor RS had this problem because I've used both on Racefest so no duplicate "stock" parts or tuning not saving as far as I can tell. Speedemon I still haven't unlocked so I can't say. But thank you for the confirmation.

(this happens on Career btw, haven't tried out any other modes, dunno if it matters at all)
Vin Petrol  [author] 9 Feb, 2023 @ 3:58pm 
I think the boomers had to be edited too
Vin Petrol  [author] 9 Feb, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
But as the new way of making racing Ai work requires full car files to be built, rather than the old way of just overwriting the Ai files, I guess it effects player car also, it was only a couple of cars had the problem, bulldog was definitely one of them.
Vin Petrol  [author] 9 Feb, 2023 @ 3:54pm 
Yes I think it does, I remember having to insert different steering files for the bulldogs Ai as they were spinning out almost every turn, ruining the clean close racing lap after lap causing accidents, I believe there were others too, perhaps the speed demon (Nissan 200sx).
Ottomic 9 Feb, 2023 @ 1:54pm 
I have no idea what's going on, but I was having trouble with (and ONLY with, as far as I know) my Bulldog resetting its tuning parameters every time I exited the "tune" screen, either at the start of a race, or from the Garage screen. I figured it may be one of the skin mods I was using, so I disabled EVERYTHING except for Racefest. It was still happening even after verifying cache, so in a last desperate attempt I disabled racefest... and it fixed itself. Now the tuning parameters save. I also had a duplicate "stock" part for customization on the Bulldog and now they're gone.

Does your mod do anything at all to the bulldog? It's like it had some kind of conflict with the game files or something.
Vin Petrol  [author] 4 Nov, 2022 @ 10:32am 
Thanks I’m glad you like it.
Yes the Ai in nascar mod do race clean it’s just their engine power and low suspension make the Ai struggle to control them on typical tracks, the Ai in nascar work best for the large ovals in the very track pack linked in the nascar mod description.
Thanks
grim_bracken 4 Nov, 2022 @ 8:55am 
Thanks for this amazing upgrade to the stock AI. Races are fun now! I tried using your Nascar Legends MOD with the patch but the AI don't behave like this MOD. Tried the Class A,B, and C Nascar AI profiles but they get wrecked in the first few laps. Using Expert AI difficulty.
Vin Petrol  [author] 27 Sep, 2022 @ 11:35am 
@ThisMightHurt
Other than nascar legends online I’ve never made an online mod with bots, when you select add bot on the server I haven’t revised where the game gets them from, so i doubt it but I wouldn’t know sorry, I’ve heard they have broke it and you can only have speedbirds, but I don’t play online so I wouldn’t know
Thanks
Vin Petrol  [author] 27 Sep, 2022 @ 11:31am 
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy it, the game has too many cars, tracks and features to just be a wrecking game where the cars all end up looking like crisp packets with mindless suicidal Ai.
