ACSE is an unofficial mod loader for Planet Coaster, giving developers access to the game's APIs, aswell as a much easier method for installation of mods.
It's important to note ACSE is not a replacement for the old mod manager, but rather a seperate method, I eventually hope to port over all mods to this new method, but more development time is needed until then, for now this functions as an alpha release, which will hopefully be expanded upon with a proper mod manager at some point. ACSE is specifically a code loader, but I will generally refer to "ACSE mods" as anything that uses a new content pack to load in mods.
The much anticipated smoothing mod changes the functionality of the old smoothing buttons to have 4 new options
- Smooth - Standard Smooth All
- Smooth Forward - Smooths and moves the selection forward 1
- Smooth Backward - Smooths and moves the selection backwards 1
- Smooth Burst - Does what it says on the tin
These are designed to make 1m/2m/4m method easier and faster to do
This was also previewed in a previous update, and removed the wobbly camera effect that was pre programmed into the game's coasters. This essentially adds in the camera from the aces sky coaster to all coasters, Thanks again to Theme Park Wirral for discovering this feature which has allowed me to impliment it into a mod.
Easier than ever, simply drag the ACSE folder containing Main.ovl and Manifest.xml into your PlanetCoaster/Win64/ovldata folder alongside the contentpacks. This enables the mod loader. To install Mods, do the same. Drag the folders into the ovldata folder alongside ACSE and other contentpacks.
Once it's installed it should look like this!
(awesome_testbed are my development files, and are not necessary)
Once it's installed you should see "ACSE Loaded" under the Planet Coaster logo in the Menu.
