Pure 0.142 development preview (Patreon)

Hello my dear supporters,

Here is Pure 0.142 development preview. Many, many bugs were fixed and many new features were implemented.

Pure Config app got some features like the mouse-scroll parameter edit and right-mouse parameter reset. Also, there is an option, to have separate configs for different video modes (VR and/or ppOff).
Select multi configs in Pure Config
Used script settings 

Exposure control got a huge update, so the brightness in the different weather scenarios has improved a lot.

All weather got further tweaking. Sunlight and ambient light were improved to match those in the different times of day and the sky cloud cover. Speculars are now adapted to the current cloud coverage.

The skydomes got new parameters to use the advanced lighting of Pure. This will improve all weather, but mostly overcast scenes, which now have a decent advanced ambient light.

Pure 0.142 already has CSP 1.79 features, which improve the lighting a lot, like the new Lambert Gamma. As soon as CSP 1.79 is released, you can use it. (I don't know when CSP 1.79 will be released)
Demonstration of Lambert Gamma

I made a major change to the PPfilters of Pure!
“pureEYE” is now “pure” the standard filter of Pure.
“pure” is now “pureLinear” (a filter with linear tonemapping)

Please check your AC VIDEO Settings and set "pure" as PPfilter. PureEYE is removed!

All Pure filters got improvements. The biggest improvement comes with “pure” (the former pureEYE filter). Its script is a very advanced usage of Pure’s lighting technics. It also uses Pure’s new SDK function names. In the next weeks I build an online scripting manual with many examples, to show, how to use Pure’s scripts and its functions.

I started Pure Planner and Pure weather controller, but it is not ready for a public usage. So I think it will come in the next version. Those two will improve the weather control a lot. Pure Planer simple plan, Pure Planner new date time select 

AS ALWAYS, PLEASE READ THE INSTALL GUIDE !

Please use "Pure Config" app to check all needed settings !

Pure 0.0142 needs at least CSP 1.76 public.
For skydomes you need at least CSP 1.78 public!
As always, for rain you need CSP preview versions...

Summarized changelog of Pure 0.142

Pure Config

  • New tabbars

    Added states to show the used settings / script settings

Core

  • Track heading is now updated per frame. “Lighting angle” in Photo Mode App now works with Pure.
  • Switched to a better start procedure. WFX resets are no longer needed for a correct VR initialization.

  • Tweaked overcast weather
  • Added directional lighting parameters
  • Added cloud coverage parameter
  • Speculars are controlled by sun’s cloud cover

Exposure

  • Customizable mix of Cubemap Brightness Estimation (CBE) and YEBIS Autoexposure
  • Smoothing (exposure adaption speeds) now works as it should
  • Much better overall exposure in all weather sceneries
  • Better reaction to cloud coverage
  • Better twilight exposure

PPFilters

  • Renaming Pure’s filters:
    “pureEYE” now called “pure” – it’s the default filter.

Scripting

  • Added a SDK like script support (will be documented soon)
  • UI Elements can have a tooltip (info with mouse hoover)

Sol planner doesn't want to appear for me ingame or in the apps, I have Sol installed

Try to delete its settings.ini in /assettocorsa/apps/python/sol_planner/settings/

peterboese
>>93091378

If this does not solve the problem: is the app activated in CM - settings - AC - apps?

>>93091378

If it is still not showing, open Python apps debug ingame. It is shown in the apps list under CSP apps. Switch to "python log" and posrlt the red messages.

Fantastic work as always. Latest Pure and filters look great in VR on my Reverb G2. Lighting looks better overall. Also installed the latest high res skydomes which look amazing. More eye candy with no FPS drop for me.

When does the next CSP come out? It's been more than 4 months! Can you give us info? I know that you're not ilja, but if I'm not mistaken you have access to the new version.

is anyone else experiencing sunrays tripping issues at sunset with hires 360 skydomes or just me ?

Anonymous

This looks amazing. Just ran a few laps and the ambient lighting at dusk is exceptional

I'm running AC in VR (Reverb G2) without PP. I feel, that with this update, the general light situtation is much better. For example when I drive in a sunset scenario @LAC, i think before it was very dark in valleys without direct sunlight, and rather bright after the next corner with sunlight. Also driving in a tunnel seems more.. realistic. Driving at night is much better. I still have the impression, that sometimes exposure changes suddenly. Like when somebody changes a camera setting.

i cant use rain because if i want to install the rain version from llja jusupov aka x4fab it says i need version above 0.1.78

peterboese
>>93659802

where it says this? the latest CSP preview version is 1.79preview5. This is above 1.78.

peterboese

First look in Pure Config "clouds" tab. Clouds Render method must be one and quality has to be 3. If it still has the low resolution (I think you meaning this), then maybe it's an Nvidia setting "texture quality". Or do you mean, you have the 3d clouds look from the older Pure versions.

I am foolish and did not know the pure config existed... I've made the changes just now and it looks fantastic! Thank you!

Hi M. Boese, I sometimes have a problem with the high resolution Skydome. Everything is perfectly installed and everything works perfectly. But after a few days or weeks, I realize that the old encrypted files have taken their place and replaced the high resolution encrypted files. I have to copy them again and it works perfectly again. Do you have any idea what is going on? Thank you for your fantastic work!

peterboese
>>94944763

Yes, because in the base pack are only the low res files. Those will overwrite the highres ones. I'll make a highres complete install pack the next time.

How do I turn godrays on?

Malice D.

This looks awesome, also in VR. But VR at night is way to dark imo. Also sometimes there is a very weird glitch where all the lightsources dissapear (but only in vr in first person mode, you can see there should be light from other views). So my favoruite mod, hope this gets fixed sometime :)

Was having the same thing, might be a CSP problem, not a PURE problem but they are interacting. If you're on 1.80preview, roll back to 1.79 preview, saw a bunch of dudes in SRP reporting the same issue.

i installed it by the install.bat i extracted it to a folder, i fixed it but the sky domes dont work, i installed it all right but the clouds look like a jpg, i tried pure config and nothing seems to change it

peterboese
>>95493793

You set the clouds render method to 1 and you installed the highres textures?

Is there any way I can reduce the brightness or saturation. I’m finding the cars are to bright but I don’t use a filter as get better results in VR without. I noticed the adjustments don’t work in the pure config app when you don’t have a pp filter selected? Thanks

peterboese
>>95904705

There is a PPoff brightness slider in Pure Config app "PPoff" tab. You can also use the exposure settings there, to control the brightness. I was able to bring auto exposure functions to the PP off mode in AC. So just try that.

im using 1.78 and no config pop up when i open pure config. just load, save, import, export

i installed through root folder

Thanks Peter, I have already tried that but it’s more the cars that look too bright, almost bright metallic. I’ll keep tweaking and hopefully I’ll find a more natural look within my content manager setting. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next update.

Excuse me Peter, How can I fix "Reflections frequency is set to static!" issue? I'm very sure I set it to "Two face per frame", I'm using CSP 1.80-preview and pure 0.142. I have this issue since CSP1.79-preview and Pure 0.102.

Then just ignore it. It could be Pure Config has no access to the settings file. But if everything works, just ignore it....
