InternalsPlugin: UpdateTelemetry - rF1 vs rF2

Yep, that would explain what's changed in rF2 then :)

I noticed it had changed from true/false to 1/0... but never scrolled to the right to read the comment... lol

*Presumably the 'telemetry data' for remote vehicles wouldn't be full quality, given the bandwidth constraints. Some of it (position etc) would probably be determined by the netcode, while you'd have to think a lot of the actual telemetry would be non-existent or very patchy at best. Any updates from anyone actually trying it?
 
Yeah, I'm picking up the telemetry data for all cars but I'm not really using it for the time being. It looks good though, however I have not checked it all
 
Yes, rf2 has telemetry for all players,but not rf1. Tested a few months ago

Maybe we are talking about different data/objects here? When I mentioned Telemetry, I am referring to the method UpdateTelemetry( const TelemInfoV2 &info ) and struct TelemInfoV2.

Where do you find a TelemInfoV2 structure? The only one I can find is TelemInfoV01 in InternalsPlugin.hpp, from the InternalsPlugin5.zip dowload in the rF2 dev corner. Is there a newer internals plugin somewhere?

@all: Do you need to return something other than 1 from GetPluginVersion when you want to retrieve telemetry from all vehicles?
EDIT: No, you don't, I was just a bit trigger happy when testing and forgot the 20 second plug-in delay.... :/

I saw this in the rf
Code: 
virtual long WantsTelemetryUpdates() { return( 0 ); }        // whether we want telemetry updates (0=no 1=player-only 2=all vehicles)
I did not test it yet but it looks like you can get Telemetry Data from all vehicles.

Yeah, that's what I did and its working for me.

We were talking about rF1. In rF2 there is only TelemInfoV1 :)
 
I know this is a super old thread but I was just playing with return(2) for all cars but it seems to return data for AI cars only. So it's basically useless.

Can anyone confirm if they are experiencing the same thing or have I lost my mind?
 
Did you update both header files?

long WantsTelemetryUpdates() { return 2; } // we want "all players" info

and

virtual long WantsTelemetryUpdates() { return( 2 ); } // whether we want telemetry updates (0=no 1=player-only 2=all vehicles)
 
Yeah I set both but still only get data for the AI cars. I've been told the server doesn't really have full telemetry for MP cars anyways (due to bandwidth restrictions). Because the AI cars are actually running server side it has access to their telemetry (well, some of if anyways). So for us to get telemetry data, ISI would have to start sending it from the client to the server which would increase bandwidth requirements. So for now the only way to access telemetry is locally. I was wanting to make a telemetry page which could be password protected and allow team mates to monitor the car while the driver stays focused on the track. The only way to do this I guess will be to install a plugin on the client side for each driver. I was hoping for a more simplistic approach and was thinking this would finally possible with rF2. Oh well, back to the drawling boards.
 
I see its no easy task :-) you can make a plugin for each client and show the data through a windows app on each client or each client streams the data to a web page but the latter more complex and more bandwidth
