Fine-tuning traffic behavior for Dense AI on Shutoko Revival Project (SRP) allows you to control speed limits, lane changes, and AI aggression, ensuring a realistic and immersive driving experience. This tutorial will guide you through customizing AI traffic behavior on your Assetto Corsa server using VolticHost Game Panel.


📌 Prerequisites

  • An Assetto Corsa server hosted with VolticHost.

  • Access to VolticHost Game Panel.

  • Shutoko Revival Project and Dense AI installed on the server.

  • AI behavior configuration files (ai_hints.ini).


1️⃣ Editing AI Traffic Speed and Lane Behavior

  1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

  2. Click on your Assetto Corsa server to open the management dashboard.

  3. Navigate to the File Manager tab.

  4. Open the AI configuration directory:

    /content/tracks/shutoko_revival_project/data/
    
  5. Locate and open ai_hints.ini.

  6. Adjust the AI speed limits for different sections of the track:

    [SPEED]
    DEFAULT=100
    HIGHWAY=120
    CITY=80
    
    • DEFAULT = General AI speed limit.

    • HIGHWAY = Maximum speed for highway sections.

    • CITY = Lower speed limit for urban areas.

AI speed limits have been configured!


2️⃣ Adjusting AI Aggression and Lane Changes

  1. In File Manager, open ai_hints.ini again.

  2. Modify the AI overtaking and lane-switching behavior:

    [LANE_CHANGE]
    CHANCE=70
    SAFE_DISTANCE=20
    
    • CHANCE = Probability (0-100%) of AI changing lanes.

    • SAFE_DISTANCE = Minimum distance between AI cars before switching lanes.

  3. Adjust AI aggression for lane merging and traffic interaction:

    [AGGRESSION]
    OVERTAKE=2
    MERGING=1
    
    • OVERTAKE=0 = No overtaking.

    • OVERTAKE=1 = Cautious overtaking.

    • OVERTAKE=2 = Aggressive overtaking.

    • MERGING=0 = Disables merging behavior.

    • MERGING=1 = Enables merging at highway on-ramps.

  4. Click Save Content to apply the changes.

AI lane-switching and aggression have been updated!


3️⃣ Restarting the Server to Apply Traffic Behavior Changes
