A Tokyo Xtreme Racer Additional Settings Mod.md

Additional settings for Tokyo Xtreme Racer, HDR, VSM, Streaming, Weather, Time of Day and more

This UE4SS script will allow you to adjust render settings in Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

This allows you to:

• Enable 10 bit HDR Display Output, requires HDR enabled in Windows settings
• Enable Virtual Shadow Maps, more crisp and accurate shadows
• Disable textures streaming. Game will load all texture assets on level load to reduce CPU overhead at a cost of memory usage. Requires 8GB GPU or better.
• Enable lowest possible settings for a low end hardware, to improve compatbility with old hardware, run game with -dx11 launch argument.
• Control time of day with key bindings
• Control cloud cover with key bindings
• Control fog density

Key bindings:

• Advance time of day: ALT + Y for finer control or SHIFT + Y for faster control
• Reverse time of day: ALT + T for finer control or SHIFT + T for faster control
• Increase fog density: ALT + P for finer control or SHIFT + P for faster control
• Decrease fog density: ALT + O for finer control or SHIFT + O for faster control
• Increase amount of clouds: ALT + L for finer control or SHIFT + L for faster control
• Decrease amount of clouds: ALT + K for finer control or SHIFT + K for faster control

Videos:

Known issues:

• None

Compatibility:

• Fully compatible with Dynamic Day/Night Cycle mod by Silent.

Installing the thing:

• Download UE4SS experimental and unpack it to your game installation folder ./TokyoXtremeRacer/Binaries/Win64.
• In the UE4SS folder open folder Mods and create there TXR_AdditionalSettings and in a newly created folder create scripts folder
• In the scripts folder put attached main.lua file
• In mods folder open mods.txt and add there TXR_AdditionalSettings : 1 line and save the file

god-level work

do you think it'll be possible to add more weather effects?

now iam racing in silent hill)) thank u

do you think it'll be possible to add more weather effects?

I think it's possible, but I'm blindly trying to make stuff work. Yesterday I was trying to get rain to work, but sadly no effects so far. I don't have any experience with Unreal engine modding :(

ITS PERFECT BUT MY GAME KEEPS CRASHING PLZ HELP!!

any fixes for crashing?

Hello if you want to add rain, maybe take a look at this video, seems not so diificult.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkI7EBJ6mK8&t=611s

Once you fixed the crashing, I will try this mod. Thank you for your work.

I love this mod, thank you for it 🫡.
Is there a possibility that you could add a free camera control or one that deactivates the UI?

any fixes for crashing?

Not yet. I will try to fix that this week.

Probably yes, but I haven't had any success so far

I slightly edited your code to include a time-loop, using the content of the "time forward" function.

I've put the new code in the NotifyNewObject function:

NotifyOnNewObject("/Script/Engine.Level", function()
  ExecuteDelayedFix()

	local tod = FindFirstOf("BP_Sky_C")

	LoopAsync(10000, function()
		--print(tod:IsValid())
		if tod:IsValid() then
			period = period + 1
			
			if (period >= 10) then
				local startTod = tod["Time of Day"]
				startTod = startTod + 1
				period = 0
				if startTod > 2359 then 
					startTod = 0000 
				end
				tod["Time of Day"] = startTod
				print("Trigger time "..startTod.."\n")
			end
		end
		return false;
	end)

end)

"period" is a variable I defined at the start of the script as

local period = 0

With period max value at 10 and the LoopAsync at 10000 ms, the day/night change about every 3 minutes. Tinkering with the values one should find a good compromise, I suppose.

I was thinking to put a random value for every cycle to increase or decrease (50/50) the amount of clouds, but I don't know exactly what type of "random" method I can use on this script. Same thing could be done with the fog, maybe limiting it at the "dawn" time (first identifying the proper Tod value range obviously...)

Disclaimer: I'm not knowledgeable about lua and ue4ss lua (I'm a Java dev) so I don't know if LoopAsync is a decent way to wrap the timeloop code. So excuse me if I wrote some heresies.

I wonder if camera shake can be variable instead of just turning it on and off?

It seems that latest update allows now to adjust camera shake settings. I will remove that feature from this mod then as it's no longer needed.

Yeah :) They've made it an adjustable option.

please let us know when u fixed the crashing! would rlly love to use this mod but my game crashed 5 times ina row last time lol

Funny thing. I played already 5 hours with this mod. The game crashed only once

Is it possible to re-enable texture streaming? I would like to use this mod but w/o lower framerate due to the disabled texture streaming.

Yea you can just put it back to true instead of false

Yes. Set "disableStreaming" to false in lua file

Try to update both my lua mod and ue4ss. I removed camera shake disable feature and game seems to be way more stable now.

I slightly edited your code to include a time-loop, using the content of the "time forward" function.

I've put the new code in the NotifyNewObject function:

I've tried to paste the thing in the place where NotifyObject left empty but didn't get it to work properly. Also getting crashes when entering parking areas.
How I need to insert it properly to the script? xD

Forget that snippet... I've worked on the script these days, and I made a separate script to not mess with the original code. You can download from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G7QEvv_LpgGJ4QqGO5pEEU0lPNxrS6GE/view?usp=sharing
Unzip in the mods folder and add the line in mods.txt
RawTimeLoop : 1

You should see the beginning of dawn after about 4 minutes.

I managed to decrease the number of script crashes, still give error sometime when exiting the driving session (parking or garage). In my case I was launching repeatedly a LoopAsync instruction, so I introduced a check to verify that the loop isn't already executed. Maybe the cause for the original script is something similar - I don't know.

thanks for this work.
I wonder if the base time of day can be changed so the driving session won't always start at evening.

"Create there TXR_AdditionalSettings"... txt file? Folder? Unclear.

"Create there TXR_AdditionalSettings"... txt file? Folder? Unclear.

It's a folder, inside the UE4SS/Mods folder.
Inside TXR_AdditionalSettings you create the Scripts folder.

So you should have the following structure:

UE4SS/Mods/TXR_AdditionalSettings/Scripts

In the Scripts folder you put the lua file.

Added full compatibility with Dynamic Day/Night Cycle mod by Silent.

was working pre crash fix now when i download it dosent seem to work at all idk if its because i have an older version of the game but it dosent change time of day or respond to commands. is there a new link?

I cannot reproduce this problem on my end. I am testing with the latest version of my code and game. You just need to update the main.lua contents.
