Getting ready for the Shutoko Revival Project 0.9.3 Release
🕑 Added 2024-09-13 10:08:11 +0000 UTCWe are planning to release the stable version of SRP 0.9.3 today, if all goes well. In case big technical issues are found, the release will happen at some point in the weekend.
If the track releases today, Friday the 13th, it will be around evening EU time. Please allow for a few hours of wiggle room so we can get everything ready.
Once good operation of the track is confirmed, all the servers will be updated to this version.
The PTB version will be taken down, as all PTB features have now moved to the Stable version.
After release, the track will be availble to download from our website at https://shutokorevivalproject.com/
Important info for all users
Minimum CSP Version 0.2.3 is needed.
You will not be able to join servers that run an older version of the track. Please urge your favourite community to update their SRP track version.
In order to maximise performance out of this version of the track, you should change the following setting in Content Manger > Settings > Custom Shaders Patch > General Patch Options. In the "CPU Optimizations" area, select "Chunks Optimization - Advanced(Experimental).
If you have used other SRP versions in the past, you no longer need to tweak the "Far Plane" setting in Content Manger > Settings > Custom Shaders Patch > Graphics Adjustments. You may right-click it and reset it.
Important info for server owners/communities
Users with the new track version will not be able to join servers that run an older version. Please update your servers to the latest version.
Changelog
(These are the changes compared to 0.9.1 Stable. If you've been following our PTB releases, these points will be familiar.)

Added 3D trees to the whole track.
New model for Tokyo tower.

Mt. Fuji and distant terrain should now be visible on default settings.
Fixed a bug that caused distant buildings to be blurry at night.

Extra info for content creators and curious users
This is the biggest update to SRP since Route 5 and 6 were added. For this reason we are bumping the track version from 0.9.1 to 0.9.3.
Both new areas are entirely made from scratch. This was only made possible by using photogrammetry data from Google Map's 3D coverage. This has been the single most valuable source of accurate data to model roads and scenery on. (None of Google's data is distributed with the SRP track. The data is used purely as reference to model on.)
Photogrammetry also allowed us to see mistakes on the original roads made by Genki Software. We hope to be able to re-align parts of the track in the future to closer match reality.
The 3D trees are a feature of Custom Shaders Patch. Not only they look nice but they also work like other modern videogame trees that use LODs and eventually turn into 2D Billboards to improve performance. FPS should generally be unaffected except from some areas where the camera can pass through/very close to multiple trees.

Yup, the two traffic layouts have been updated to work with 0.9.3. They are in the track extras channel in discord.
