RVGL Custom Cups - finish 1st/2nd/3rd to advance limitation

[slava_hanski]

Hi there!
I just want to ask you to add one important feature. I like to create custom cups and it's a very cool thing. I think that it will be more interesting if you remove the rule to finish first/second/third to proceed to the next track (I like challenges and mostly I drive slow cars to compete with the faster ones). That would be fantastic.
Thank You!

This would be the cherry on the cake. And I hope this project is not dead, no updates since 2021...

No, the project is not dead.

This has caught many people's attention lately. I'll post another reply when I get to take a look at it...

Modifying stock cups .txt files have no effect in-game. I've heard that removing the qualification rule is possible and it makes me smile. Also hoping to see an option to modify the number of retries in cups.

Hello there,

A small update on this. I was able to modify the position required to qualify in cups and I've made it configurable from cups' txt files, as follows:

;===============================================================================
;                                RVGL Cup File
;===============================================================================

Name        "Bronze Cup"
Difficulty  1
Obtain      0

NumCars     8   ; Number of cars [4 - 16]
NumTries    3   ; Number of retry attempts

Classes     7,0,0,0,0,0       ; Number of CPU cars picked from each rating
Points      10,6,4,3,2,1,0,0  ; Points obtained for each position
Qualify     5                 ; Minimum finishing position to qualify for next race


; Stages [0 - 15]: level laps mirrored reversed

STAGE 0     nhood1 3 false false
STAGE 1     market2 4 false false
STAGE 2     muse2 3 false false
STAGE 3     garden1 5 false false

Another thing I was able to do was making it so modifying the default cups' files will no longer be ignored and custom values will be loaded from them if present.

Amazing! Just perfect, can't wait for the new update.
