    Ari!!
    That is very easy, provided you have the parameters.

    Code:
    -- below is the code on how to do it. You will have to change the parameters as follow:
    -- model = the name of the model you want
    -- partConfig = you MUST have a .pc file to point here.
    -- pos = stands for position.
    -- rot = stands for rotation.
    -- options = I don't remember now, but also complex.
    
    -- the only mandatory fields are MODEL and CONFIG. anything else can be left empty.
    -- the last 3 parameters are only worth if you automate the workflow somehow. I haven't arrived to that level yet.
    
    -- the code is below:
    
    core_vehicles.spawnNewVehicle(model, {config = partConfig}, pos, rot, options)
    
    
    I'll include an example of how I spawn Leroy Balkaran in my races
    Code:
    
    core_vehicles.spawnNewVehicle('etkc', {config = 'vehicles/etk800/leroyBalkaran.pc'}); core_vehicles.setPlateText('L-Balkaran'); print('L-Balkaran');
    
    -- core_vehicles is calling the model 'etkc' with the leroyBalkaran.pc file I created
    -- then, I used a semi-colon(;) to separate the commands
    -- I set the Plate text to whatever I want, in this case it is 'L-Balkaran'
    -- I print the words 'L-Balkaran' in the console to make sure the model was loaded properly. If there's a failure somewhere, it won't print as the code will be interrupted with a failure message.
    
    
    Last but not least, this is my old code for spawning the same car. Before I created the .pc files for Leroy and the others
    Code:
    core_vehicles.spawnNewVehicle('etkc', {config = 'vehicles/etk800/kc4_250_A.pc', paintName = 'Dusk'})
    
    I guess that is all. :D

    Hi there Rukky!!
    No, I didn't try that part.
    You can send a message to the programming session of the forum. An engineer from BeamNG.tech gave me that hint.
    I think they hang around over there a lot.

    They like a lot people who contribute stuff, even if through insights on what to look after for future updates.

    My fellow Peregrini friends,

    Taking this opportunity to tell that all races have been recorded. The AI system is a bit better than previous races and we will see some very interesting challenges happening. I'm still hopeful that I'll find a better config.

    Anyway.
    I'm also working on my narration. I noticed that adding music made the videos better in the last round. With the narration can also look more interesting, so I'm finishing up with the scripts for the driver's Qualifying video, which is 45% complete.
    So I hope that within the next 2 weeks (Maximum deadline) , I can deliver the Qualifyiers, which will now be divided in 3 videos for the sake of time.

    Cheers and see you in Belasco

    I remember doing narrations to my friend's videos... (no longer available) - and I know how hard it can be, good luck with that!

    Thanks mate. It is harder than I thought. And speaking English after many many months not doing it feels harder.

    But I'm getting my fluency back the more I speak.

    Hello my Pelegrini friends!!!

    A new episode has just been uploaded.
    For convenience, the link is at the bottom of this message, but it will also be added to the first post in this thread.

    A small but relevant update for this track.
    The AI "system" I'm using has been changed and during the races, the competitors will perform a bit better then the previous episodes.
    Also, I decided to add narration, hence the enhanced delay on posting the video. And also decided to expand by a tiny bit the lore of the races.... still under development though.



    The competitors have arrive a few weeks ago at the West Coast, and some have been transferred to intensive care in the local hospital.
    After a few days of rest due to previous races crashes, some of the competitors decided to improve their skills by many repetitions around the track.
    As a new hire, our narrator, came into place, the qualifying is taking a bit longer than expected as he likes to talk, so the organizers have decided to split the qualifying into 3 parts.
    Before lunch, starting at 11 am, the bottom 8 competitors in the table will run their qualifying laps.
    After lunch, the mid 7 competitors will take their chances. We'll make a stop for tea - or coffee - and resume with the top 7 competitors.

    It seems the team is just getting used to having a narrator around.




    Here's the link for convenience.

    Thanks for the feedback Ari. Learning and reinstituting my diction on the English language. Many months I don't speak English, only write and read.

    Regarding your request, it would be more interesting if you managed to create your own comments? I'd like to hear your ideas and what else could be mentioned during those videos :D
    This way you give your own personality to the videos.
    If you don't want to try, then that is fine. But send me a heads up on discord and once I'm back at the computer, I'll send what I wrote, pretty basic.

    Hello my Peregrini friends!!!

    The second part of the qualifying, with the mid 7 drivers is available. Here's the story:



    We have just finished our 5-minutes lunch break but with food still in our mouths, we are starting the second part of our Qualifying in this early afternoon. Before our tea-break, we'll check the performance of the 7 drivers who are currently at the mid of the table.

    Another very cool video!
    A question: do you adjust music volume when you start speaking or not?

    I do. When I'm silent I lift it to a "normal" level on the mixer. And when I'm speaking I lower it as each voice over I make is a different file, and as I use my internal mic from the laptop, it's quality isn't the best.

    As no one has ever said anything about the sound, I assume it is working well, but if it is too loud, or is messing up something, let me know.

    Hello my Peregrini friends!
    Another break has been completed and we are ready to take on the top 7 drivers of the table.
    After the Qualifiers, we will make the distribution of the drivers into the 3 groups. I'll explain how it is done in the video, so the video got a bit bigger than the others.

    Hello my Peregrini friends!
    The first race of the day is up already. Today we want to introduce a new member to our team.
    It is Ari. Ari will be our mechanic from now on and he will give upgrades to any drive that has not finished the race due to issues with their machines.

    Apart from that, Ari has been a loyal watcher of the videos and I want to thank him for joining the creation :D

    Here is the video for convenience as it is also available at the top of this thread.

    Hello my Peregrini friends!

    Lunch has just finished and we are ready for the second race of the day.
    We will also have the chance to sneak into Ari's workshop while he fixes and upgrades 4 cars.
