Think I spotted a bug, the replay time can't be set in 24 hour clock, it displays 12 hour clock when typing 24 hour time. "Cannot read from closed TextReader"? Does this mean I can't schedule the replay until the other is generated? I wonder if it's possible to set the schedule for recording and replay to repeat weekly at a set day and time and replay at a set day and time?
Weather Server 1.2.0.1 available Fix the format of replay shcedule field (thank Woodee) @woodee : i don't have implemented a repeat feature.
I haven't used your weather tool yet, I'm waiting for ISI to sort out rain and weather implementation first, but your support and your work are incredible. Thanks a lot Gerald. Great contribution.
Can't get WeatherServer running. The Readme file refers to an ini file which is not in the same directory as the WeatherServer.exe. Could somebody please provide an working INI File. For sure you can delete the Wunderground API Key if it's in this INI File. I assume it should be named WeatherServer.ini ?!
Hello, I re-uploaded a version containing the ini files on dropbox. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank Woodee for your reply.
Based on the communication scheme I have some questions: (1) Is it necessary to install the plugin on every client joining the dedicated server or will rF2 protocol ensure that every driver has the same weather? (2) If the plugin needs to be installed on every client, how is it garantueed that no driver is joining without the Plugin installed or redirects the communication to a different weather server? P.S.: My intention is to ensure that every driver in an online race faces the same weather ;-) Thanks in advance Merlin Sent with Tapatalk
No, it is not necessary. It is the Server who provide the race weather condition. A client will use it, only if he want to have "Live" radar information, and so he must be sure to use the same location (lat/lon) than the one used on the server. The client have several possibilities to define lat/long, including connecting to the Weather Server (which is the aim of the schema you quoted)
Gerald one question is it possible to develop a control interface via http for the real time weather server ? Same question I have for the TV plugin. Reason: - If the admin is also a driver he have to change to the desktop to adjust settings this results most time in CTD. The window mode is under certain circumstances bad for rF2 performance (specialy for SLI user) - It would be more comfortable in any case Most of us have a smartphone and / or a tablett. If it would possible to control the tool via http interface or something similar IMO this would be a perfect solution. I've only less experience with development so please excuse if my question is ......
Ok, i will think about it. For now, i'm working on providing 64bits DLL of my plugins, so it will be ready when the rF2 64bit will be released.
Thx Gerald you are the best And you answered my second questions (64bit plugins) which I have even not asked. Many thanks!
In the file, the time is at the track location. Here it is 12h58:33 GMT+2 Envoyé de mon GT-N7105 en utilisant Tapatalk
Ah... I get ya now. So the times in the file show MY local time? The time I set it to was the LOCAL time for the location?
In the HMI it is your time. And in the file it is the weather condition at the nearest time it was collected by weather stations in the lat/long time. Envoyé de mon GT-N7105 en utilisant Tapatalk
Weather Control Plugin v2.0 available - No functional change, but now you have the WeatherControlPlugin.dll for 32 bits (like previously) and the WeatherControlPlugin_x64.dll for the future rF2 64bit So as soon as a future rF2 build contains the 64bits support, you will already have the Weather Control Plugin for it.
THX for your great Tool Gerald, we're using it for some time already and our F1 league is really happy with it, as we race the same weather as in the real F1 sessions just a day afterwards you did a great job here Only thing missing for me is the possiblity to have realtime weather on more than one dedicated server at the same time. Your tool supports one rf2 installation with multiple profiles, that's fine for most admins, but I would never run multiple dedicated servers like this. I prefer to have a full installation for each rf2 dedicated server instance we have running. And there lies the problem... What I (and a lot of admin) would need: - Either I would be able to start multiple instances of your realtime tool, one for each dedicated server, - Or being able to place multiple path values (for each rf2 server location as for 2 servers, I have 2 Core path's...) into the WeatherServer.ini Keep up the good work!
