Title: content manager
Post by: grat on November 05, 2016, 07:55:50 PM
Anybody here is using or has used AC content manager? It seems to have some nice feature, and they tell me you can have multiple presets so that you can race in a triple screen preset and then watch replays in a single screen all-ultra preset immediately after, without having to mess up with your carefully chosen video settings.

As I am not very savvy I am too prudent to try before asking some of you... ;)

I use Cars Manager which I believe is by the same guy and is now part of Content Manager, but I only use it for generating previews for modded cars and adding tags and things like that. I had a look at Content Manager and it seemed like to get anything more than I already have you need to donate to get the complete version which I couldn't be bothered with right now.

I know this has been mentioned before, but this is just a quick "heads up" for the newer members who have not checked out Content Manager.

Do yourself a favour and try it. It's been out for a while and I was a bit late on the take-up of it but now I couldn't play AC without it. Well I could, but I won't.

It gives you access to all AC setting before you load the game and when it does load a session, it just takes a fraction of the time. Awesome bit of kit.

Yeah I switched to Content Manager not long after my previous post in this thread and haven't looked back. It really is good.

Hhhmmmm. :-\
Y'all convinced me to give it a go but it don't work. :(
All that opens is the window saying "content manager has stopped working".
That's the Lite version but I'm reticent to give them money for something that doesn't work (for me at least). :-X

I just installed this last night and it seems to work fine for me. It's the lite version and it is better than the standard launcher, I like it.

I've d/l it 3 times, just to make sure it wasn't corrupt.

Sorry Dave, wish I could help. Lite version on 7 and it works fine.

.NET thingo is required.
Title: Re: content manager

.NET

Doesn't work for me either.
Whats this .NET thing? Please explain.
Title: Re: content manager
Post by: Joe on August 26, 2017, 06:09:25 PM
Will be the .NET Framework runtime. No idea what version of .NET the app is written with so try this version:

It's v4.5.2 actually. ;)

Thanks Joe, at least that version triggered the recognition for it to ask me to upgrade, and then run.
Now to get my head around it.....
Title: Re: content manager
Post by: gawaterman on August 26, 2017, 11:42:51 PM
Says I already have that or later version installed, so something else wrong.

Control panel, uninstall programs, right click, repair (repair only works for visual c++). Or uninstall and re-download.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=53344 contains .net 4 through 4.6.1
I think win 10 has the .net framework built in to the os

Wondering if anyone can help with a problem I have with content manager and the set up market (app).
Using the built in steam feature I recently moved my assetto game install from my HDD (secondary) to an SSD (also a secondary drive). In the process, assuming this is the cause, I cant open setups from the setup market from within content manager. Content manager gives an "error" Navigation Failed
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: manager
   at AcManager.Controls.ViewModels.AcObjectListCollectionViewWrapperBase`1..ctor(IAcManagerNew manager, IFilter`1 listFilter, Boolean allowNonSelected)
   at AcManager.Controls.ViewModels.AcObjectListCollectionViewWrapper`1..ctor(IAcManagerNew list, IFilter`1 listFilter, String key, Boolean allowNonSelected)
   at AcManager.Controls.ViewModels.AcListPageViewModel`1..ctor(IAcManagerNew list, IFilter`1 listFilter)
   at AcManager.Pages.Lists.CarSetupsListPage.Initialize()
   at FirstFloor.ModernUI.Windows.DefaultContentLoader.<LoadContentAsync>d__0.MoveNext()

anyone know how to read this or what it means, maybe a fix? Thinking I might just re-install the game from scratch on the ssd, thanks

"user"\AppData\Local\AcTools Content Manager

Try just deleting that folder?
You may need to re-enter your reg' number, and all your settings again.
Title: Re: content manager
Post by: buellersdayoff on October 09, 2017, 05:51:43 PM
Thanks I'll look at that after I finish reinstalling the game if that doesn't work.

Had already started the reinstall process before I saw this. The main reason I reinstalled was I lost all car sounds after playing with some sound mods. Tried this trick but didn't check if the set up market was working. Now I Can't get CM to work at all. CM worked for a moment, reinstalled apps, tracks and stuff, but now when I try to open it the first main pop up has a greyed out OK button

Derp, while dragging and dropping apps, tracks and files I somehow dragged and dropped essential game files to the wrong folder.
Title: Re: content manager

and after all that i still can't use the setup market in content manager lol

Hey Guys, the latest Windows 10 Update crashed in a BIG way and I have had to reinstall 10.

I had previously donated to CM but it seems I have lost my Key.

Does anybody know if the Key is stored anywhere on my PC?

Thanks

 Thanks Dennis, I know I kept a copy of it, but can't find it now. Checked old emails, but not there, maybe got lost in the re-install.  >:(

In such cases it maybe best to contact cm themselves, they must have a database that they can search by email.

Thanks Dennis and Istvan,

All good! I was searching emails under wrong name.

More a CSP thing, but what does Track VAO actually do?
I have none, and I'm trying to work out why the Seasonal Adjustment doesn't give me snowy tracks. ???
Could it be this?
Or one of the other infinite options available?
Title: Re: content manager
Post by: Seanus on January 24, 2021, 03:06:51 PM
I think seasonal adjustment need track skins to suit.
Track VAO pre calculates ambient occlusion, that being the difference in lighting as if the track was lit from all sides. Under bridges, inside buildings and such will then be slightly less bright without AC having to calculate real shadows which it can't as it only supports one light source.

Hmmm.
it's got me buggered then.
I've had it active, so should've been getting the snow when others have over the last few weeks, but I only get nice summery days.......

Check you have 'Real conditions' ticked, and Local weather unset. These are in the Drive tab Single race

Try a different track, I could not get snow at Brno if that is the track you are using.

Local weather is always unchecked, real conditions I only check (to set them) then uncheck it (to set daytime), but I didn't think that effected online.....

I was more referring to the last race of the Thursday season, I had it checked but never got the snow like others.
