I'm thinking of writing a simple app that watches the status of a selected server and pops up an alert when someone starts racing on the server so you can join them. Firstly, does anything like this exist? Secondly, I haven't managed to find anything about the API, has anyone got any tips to help me make a start? https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/rfactor2-server-browser.46207 seems quite similar but the thread has died.
Well, I have hacked a prototype together that works for me, now "all" I have to do is tidy it up and add some kind of notification... Code: F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is idle F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is idle F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is idle F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is idle F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is idle F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is idle F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is idle F1_1979_Official_Server_1 is ACTIVE server_name:'F1_1979_Official_Server_1' bots:1 player_count:1 response_type 73 protocol 17 server_name F1_1979_Official_Server_1 map zolder79 folder rFactor 2 game rFactor 2 app_id 0 player_count 1 max_players 29 bot_count 1 server_type Non-Dedicated platform Windows password_protected 0 vac_enabled 0 version 11108 Player: Seven Smiles
It's a bit closer to a finished product now though I'm having trouble with my Python install and can't package it into an .exe at present.
There is a version for anyone who wants to try it here: https://github.com/TonyWhitley/rF2_serverNotify/releases/tag/V0.1 Download rF2_serverNotify.exe and rF2_serverNotify.json. Edit rF2_serverNotify.json with the server(s) you are interested in.
