Introducing the PPL Map Efficiency Tool!
After several iterations over the past year, we're excited to finally share a tool built around one simple goal: helping Assetto Corsa map creators build more efficient maps.
As custom maps grow in size and complexity, optimization becomes increasingly important. This tool gives creators a way to identify performance bottlenecks and make informed decisions rather than relying on guesswork.
How Does It Work?
-The latest public version of CSP is required in order to run this app as there are many different optimizations and changes to performance handling in the latest 0.3.1 build vs older versions.
The app offers two different testing methods:
Relative Testing
-Follows the AI spline at a constant speed for a specified number of laps.
-Tracks FPS and draw calls throughout the drive.
-Generates a heatmap highlighting performance highs and lows along the track.
Absolute Testing
-Moves between points along the AI spline, rotating 360 degrees at each position.
-Captures performance data from every viewing direction.
-Generates a heatmap showing where rendering performance suffers, even outside the normal driving perspective.
Additional Features
-Automated Preparation: Clears the HUD and uncaps FPS before testing.
-Framerate Warnings: Alerts you when external applications may be limiting FPS.
-Run Comparisons: Compare two test results to measure the impact of changes.
-Material Group Visibility: Hide toggleable material groups before testing. Curious how much that massive building affects performance? Hide it and find out!
Both testing methods benefit from longer test durations for more representative results.
A Little More to Come...
One important thing to remember: This tool does not optimize your map for you. Understanding performance data and knowing how to act on it are skills that still need to be developed.
That's something SLX has been putting a tremendous amount of work toward addressing. There are some exciting things in the works that aim to make optimization knowledge and resources more accessible to creators of all experience levels. More on that soon!
Give It a Try!
If you're interested in map performance, optimization, or simply understanding what's happening under the hood of your projects, give the PPL Map Efficiency Tool a try! It works on ANY map that has an AI line to follow!
As always, feedback is welcome. My DMs are open!
