Yes, I had you disable DirectInput just to see it that was what was crashing. There's no way the controller could work with it disabled. But what I don't get is the lastlog you posted that shows no input devices. The controller shouldn't have worked if it wasn't listed after "DirectInput roll call". Are you sure it was plugged in?

I thought it must be working OK when there wasn't much feedback for the last snapshot. I'd like to make a 1.2 update soon so if there's anything easy you need let me know.

This isn't directly about the 12-13 snapshot but I didn't know where else to ask without making a new topic, but is there any popular servers out right now with erode?

Thanks

Positive, i just ran it again and this is what i got for 09-01-1362, which is weird bc on the other time i ran it, i even tested on "Customize Controls" to see if it was working at all.

The top of jumps are not eroding properly, faces are getting taller because of it and kicker lips are forming. I don't have much more feedback than that honestly. I thought reporting the problem was still there was what was needed.

Building razor sharp jump tops isn't a viable solution for multiple reasons. A) It isn't realistic B) It causes a small clip/case to create an instant falloff instead of a loss of speed C) Any previously built tracks are no longer viable with the update

JLV would it be possible for a "Erode carry over" option for single player. Either that or a clean track every new race? I think it even carries over if you close and reopen your game. My solution is to start a race on a different track then go back, obviously thats not very efficient.

I think this would be a very interesting concept not only for single player but for rF too. Like they reset the track after the heats and lcqs right before the main but the heats and lcqs all go through the same rough and rutted track. I don't expect it to happen by any means but I think the erode carry over feature would be a sick idea to see within the game.

Only solution I've found is to not have the folders being too big. It always works 10/10 times on clean installs, but as soon as you add your 100GB of content to the game, it fails to open immediately, most times.

Maybe you accidentally ran it with no controller before you grabbed the lastlog file. If there's nothing in that list the game would have no way to read a controller. I'll add some more debug messages and see it we can narrow it down a little more. Pretty sure it's crashing creating the directinput object.

I was hoping the depth limit setting would help with that. The problem isn't just the rounded top. The jumps are also hump faced, meaning the jump's steepest slope is midway up the face. That means the bike is already taking off mid-jump, so at first it's only eroding up to mid-face. With only the lower part of the jump eroding the jump inevitably gets steeper. Here's an illustration to show what's happening:

Image

Since that effect is natural the best I can do is limit it. That's why I added the new depth limit option. On a hump faced jump the takeoff point will still progress up the face as the jump wears but you can at least limit it to something like the first line in the illustration. If you could give it a test I'd really like to know if it helps.

Here's a setting to start with that should minimize jump steepening. (This is just for trying to make those specific jumps workable. I wouldn't recommend these settings in general since it won't make good braking/acceleration bumps or berms.)

erode_radius 8
erode_depth 0.0
erode_inner_radius 2
erode_inner_depth 1.0
erode_limit 0.0 1.0 1.0
erode_limit 0.5 0.0 0.0

I didn't realize it was happening in the file scan. I might be able to fix that.

I doubt I'd do the erode carryover. Probably won't even sync up late joining spectators.
