Hey, racers. With the recent addition of overlays, broadcasters have developed a need to update a standings.json file. I'm starting to make some tools that will help get those files updated quickly. I developed a standings.json updater that allows you to upload your standings.json, add the points from last race, and you'll download a new JSON that has the new positions, points, and sorts the drivers by position. The app can handle multi-class files or a single class. There are 2 important requirements. 1) there must be a position: null somewhere in the rounds section for each driver. I search for it and update it with the points you enter. 2) The points you enter should already reflect penalty points. You won't be able to go back and update the values later with the app. BUT I have an adjustment option almost completed for people to use when they need to update previous entries (hopefully another week).
You can find that tool here: https://rfactor2tools.azurewebsites.net (it's free, no strings attached, I don't store any data).
I'm new to the community but I'm a software engineer for a very (very) well-known software company and I just want to support the community. If you have a task that you constantly have to repeat and can be automated, feel free to reach out. I'd love to take a shot at it.
EDIT:
I have updated the tool to allow for people to edit previous point entries! Some leagues apply penalty points after they input points for the last race. You can now choose "Adjust for penalties" and change previous entries of each driver. Let me know if you have any issues. If you do not apply penalties, then the "Generate Standings JSON" allows you to just enter points from the latest race and get a new JSON file with position and points updated. (it also sorts the JSON file). Supports single and multi-class JSON files. The next update will include a way to add new drivers.
