Save Engine From Scenario

[ioScream]

I think it could be helpful if you could save engines from the scenario so that you could go back and fine-tune them further either outside (within your own car company) or within the applicable scenario at a later date.

Just a thought.

You can try copying the .lua engine files from Documents/Automation/Scenarios to Documents/Automation/Engines. I don't know if it works, but I also don't know why it shouldn't.

Nice. Seems like this LUA file format is gaining popularity amongst indy developers.

LUA is actually really useful for this type of game. You can change values on the fly and the game loads them continuously, which is a huge benefit.
And the structure is relatively easy to understand imho.

Doesn't it also support some low-level logic as well?

Also to be clear, you're saying the game reads this file live - if I were to tinker with the values and save the file it will be represented within the game live as well?

Its not reloading all files live, the save file is loaded once and nevermore. But our secret calculation files are reloaded live
