[REL] Delta Best plugin for rFactor 2

Have a question for you Cosimo, can i get the data that the plugin shows and get it into my display with X-sim? I don't know if it's possible as it isn't a game feature, it's a plugin.

 

I don't know how Xsim works, so I can't really answer that question.
To my knowledge, the data calculated by a plugin like Delta Best can not be stored anywhere for X-sim to be able to access it.
Maybe the data could be sent somewhere over UDP, but that's an additional feature.

 

I see you reported the exact same problem for all plugins, so I take this isn't specific to the Delta Best plugin.

 

Working fine here with 770@64bit
I eddited the PNG file to be 100% transparent (no background), and is working correctly too

 

Can you please tell me how you made the background transparent instead of the greybox?

The background is a PNG file, you can edit it in Photoshop, you can do whatever you what, and then save it.

 

Thanks ViSo, now I will have to get Photoshop.

You can use also gimp or any other open source software in case you have no license.

Here you have the transparent DeltaBestBackground.png

 

BIG thanks fer that ViSo, installing now

SS

edit werks perfectly thankyou

 

Thanks for providing this.

Is the red and green bar supposed to be invisible? Only the decimal number shows up? I like the idea of a transparent background, but not if the actual functionality disappears.

 

If all you want is a transparent background, just don't copy the background file. There is no need to make a transparent one

If otherwise you'd like no background but the green/red bars, I could make it an option in the INI file. It won't be the default because it's not very visible when the background has trees for instance.

Don't hold your breath though. I just left for my holidays, which means no access to a compiler

 

I didnt knew that and a secure way to have a transparent background is that

Red and green bars should work fine with transparent PNG, I dont have bars activated, didnt test it.

 

They don't seem to work. If I use the default grey background, with default settings, I get the bar right under the mirror and then the "floating number" under that. Red and green for both.

If I use either the transparent background that ViSo supplied, or no background (as was pointed out that would be the same thing), I get only the floating number, but not the bar right under the mirror. Mystery?

 

I find that after some laps plugin disappears of the screen. 64 bit exe. will not return until going back to pit and start new laps

 

G'Day casimo. I've been trying to trap a random CTD on B770 @ 64bit. Ive never had CTD before going 64bit. Does this log mean your plugin was the culprit?

Maybe I didn't explain myself very well. The background file is used both for background and for the bars. If you make it 100% transparent, both grey background and bars will disappear. It's the same texture being used for both.

So, no it's not a mystery. That is why I suggested the INI setting solution.

 

The plugin displays the time only in determined conditions. One of them is green flag, so f.ex. it won't display the time when there's a yellow out, or when session time is out, etc...

 

Please make sure you are using version v13/Pergusa.

Could be that there's bugs of course. You would be the first to report such problems. Surely possible. Did you notice any circumstances that produce the problem consistently?

 

OK, but what would be optimal is to have the transparent background for the floating number, but leave the grey behind the red/green bar. Not a big deal--I am just leaving the grey behind both, but for the future please consider that option.
