[WIP] Race Engineer (Spotter) plugin for rFactor 2

OK will go look for the point wav. Since I have copied Num_xxx files change place now working. Is the max detail the level of detail I set in the game? In other words if game is set to spotter detail full then ini file needs max detail 4.

Am I right in saying any sound file I want to hear that is inside the MAS file has to be copied out to the spotter sound directory?

Not directly related to this even though I quoted you, but could you send me your modified files, because you seem to know how these things work? :)

@Gerald: Is it possible to have all the messages on or off by default and then define by values 1 (enabled) and 0 (disabled) if you want to have them? Kinda like in player.json

MaxDetailLevel is defined in the Spotter.ini (the rF2 number of event is not used, as i'm not sure is it intended by ISI to do the same thing)
Yes you need to have all file in the spotter sounds directory. I do not use directly sound from rF2
 
During race I would like to ask my race engineer about actual position. Something like
``yes, you are leading the race``or ``you are leading the race, but keep an eye on the car behind, he is very fast``
``you are second, come on, keep pushing``
``third place, you can still reach the two in front``
``you are on fourth place, keep fighting for the podium``
``fifth place, good work so far``
``currently on six, you can do more, come on``
``still on seventh place, its possible to advance, mix three, mix three``
``we are running on eigth, you must attack, use overtake button``
``nine, nineth position, there is a lot of work to do``
``your on tenth, only tenth, keep pushing, do your best``
(first to tenth, in the mid field, last, much behind the field)

I would like to trigger it with a question on speech recognition and get the answer from your spotter.
What do you thing about it ?

when you press the demand for the pit stop.
rfactor can check if they are free or busy?
because very useful for the pit stop would be from race engineer :
the pit stop is busy. stopped at the next round.

yes, you can already achieve this kind of thing. On which part do you need help ? All ?

mmmh .. first of all, you should speak the messages (to have the same voice as for the other messages)

and than ... I dont know the name of the ``Events``, which I can use (is there a complete list of provided events ?)
I am thinking you must add some code in the .dll ??

I do admit, I am still a bit confused with the software archicture.

No, no need of dll update. You need to create a new event, new sounds, and a new rule and shortcut.

If you want, i will soon release a new version where i will put a message each time your place change in Qualifying and Race. So you will be able to reuse a huge part of my work on this to achieve what you want.

Downloaded and installed the 1.0 version, and now I don't have sound at in the sim???
Uninstalled the plugin, still no sound??

Edit:
Restarted Win7 still no sound at all in the sim.
As soon as the plugin was loaded the first time all sound cut out. Crazy crazy stuff..!

Played around with sound levels like suggested earlier, still no sound.
Can't believe this!

Edit 2:
Well I guess I'll have to try and reinstall rF2 to see if that can make the sound come back...

Edit 3:
Reinstalling the "core" of the lite installer over my rF2 folder didn't help either.
What could be the cause of the plugin to completely kill the sound like that??

Edit 4:
Tried installing the entire lite installer (core + data) over the top of my old install. Still no sound.
So the sim's sound is apparently completely broken now. Any ideas?

Thanks for your work. Thank you very much for sharing.
 
Be sure your rF2 spotter volume in rF2 audio setting is not at 0%

I will check to find the source of the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience. Don't know why everyone does not have the same behavior/issue

Read you, I think I have the same problem, here's a picture of my mixer volume. Once the plugin is spotter rf2 display in the volume of RF2 is down for no reason in windows

Good catch. I had the same thing when I opened up the mixer while running rF2.
Didn't make any difference when I turned up the rF2 volume bar though...

I don't have the Spotter installed anymore so it shouldn't make a difference, right?
But I just set the spotter volume to 100 in the sim menu and still no sound.
 
Spotter volume set to 50 or 100 does not matter. This is the general volume RF2 which fall only in windows but not other program like Teamspeak.


EDIT : I just remove the plugin spotter.dll x64 plugin folder, I launched RF2 and no problems with sound.
I handed the dll and again the general sounds that fall alone.
If it can give a clue ..

This is I do not understand?

I have completely removed anything that has to do with the Spotter plug-in, both from the 32bit plug-in folder, the 64bit plugin folder and the Spotter folder inside the "player" folder.
