Challenge Submission ToolBecause of the new weather and pit stop system I need more information from the future challenge participants. In order to get that in a properly formatted way (which is always a problem with forum challenges), I built a little tool which will help you with setting up your entry and strategy:
- Player Name: pretty obvious
- Car Name: pretty obvious
- Select Trim: choose a trim from your trims folder. The linked engine family and variant and car model files are searched automatically.
- Regular Stops: set up the number of planned pit stops
- at % of race: set up when to make the stop (can be % of time limit or % of lap limit)
- refuel: choose if the car should be refueled
- new Tyres: choose if you want new tyres
- at % tyre wear: choose at which tyre wear threshold the tyres should be replaced during an unplanned stop in case they wear out faster than expected
- at % damage: choose at which damage level the driver should head for an unplanned stop
- at % race time: choose when unplanned stops may be done. In this example, the driver won't pit during the first and the last 15% of the race even if it starts raining, the tyres wear out or the car is heavily damaged.
- replace regular stop within x% race time: if an unplanned stop is done x% race time before a planned stop, the planned stop will be cancelled and refueling and tyre changes are done immediately.
- Compound changes: Set track humidity thresholds for when to change the tyre compound if the weather changes.
- Preferred starting number: Choose your preferred starting number between 2 and 99. 1 is reserved for the previous champion.
- Export submission: Write the strategy to a .lua file and write 4 lua files with the car data. Your only job is to zip all 5 files up and PM the zip file to me in the end.
Please let me know if you have any questions or think I forgot something.
