Download the last rF2 Replay Office

Hello,
I started to work on a set of tool to work with rF2 replay files (Vcr).

3 tools are already forecasted
  • Lap Analyzer:
    - Analyze / Compare laps (simplest way to understand driving data than Motec data) using chart.
    - Overlaid and Synchronize laps coming from one or several replay file and create a new Vcr file. (inspired from rF1 VCR Merge)
    -- The merging Vcr can be usefull to race controler, to overlay all lap of a driver or all driver best laps and check the path to detect forbidden cutting track.
    attachment.php


  • Race Analyzer:
    - Have quick access of all detected events (best lap, pit, stop race, overtake, touch risk, damage part, etc.).
    -- So this tool simplify the work to review a race / define penalities (with the support of the real replay in the rfactor game)
    - Can create new Vcr based on ist of clip from the original replay file (ex: create a new replay summurizing best moment). You can even specify your own camera to best focusing on each moment.
    attachment.php



Hope you enjoy it

Note: i have created a wiki to describe the rF2 replay format (i update it as soon as i find new things) - Don't hesitate if you have info on data that i don't already known.
rFactor2 Replay format

Note: If you use it,like it and want/can, you can Donate to support.
Thank you

Wow, I look forward to race analyzer.

"Another great plugin from Gerald"
 
WOW Gerald!!!! I've been really missing rFVCRMerge on rF2. You are a hero to many people with your dedication to rF2.

Thanks!
 
Absolutely wonderful.
One million thanks gerald. Downloading to try it now.
You are getting new donation!
 
In few hour i will publish a new version supporting uncompressed VCR. Until now, if you want to use uncompressed Vcr with the tool, just zip the file and rename the extension from ".zip" to ".Vcr".

Thanks
 
V1.0.1.0 Available
- support uncompressed Vcr files

player.json
Code: 
"Compress Replay":1,
"Compress Replay#":"0 (none) to 4 (highest); how much to compress VCR file (uses less disk space but takes more time to write when a session ends)",
 
Note:
There is several drawback for now on the VCR Merge, as i know only few event types in the replay. The majority of event type/content are unknown for me (tyre, dnf, dq..., as some known from rF1 have changed inrF2) and i dont know why some car are not visible when not already on session at begining and why the G diagram is wrong for some cars and why it is the car mouvement can have "lags"...

You can encounter a not visible car and camera stay on box. I had this at the begining with any kind of replay and i found that copy unknown few bytes, from the driver header, fixed the issues. But seems to fix only in replay where merged driver was in the session at the begining (or something like that) -> so, no problem on race replay, but problem possible in practice for example (working on it).

I do my best to find more and more unknown data, but don't know how many times this will take to me. It is a tedious job ;)

PS: i have created a wiki to describe the rF2 replay format (i update it as soon as i find new things) - Don't hesitate if you have info on data that i don't already known.
rFactor2 Replay format

Any way don't hesitate to post bug/feedback, cause as i'm busy to understand replay format, i do not test many different replays and so i did not find bugs you can find.

Thanks, and hope you can have some use of the current version.

PS: The Race analyzer is near.

Creating a Wiki with the description of the rF2 replay format is a great idea.

Maybe the software engineers at ISI can use this to look up the meaning of their file structure when they forget it ;-)

Better would be if somebody from ISI would provide the missing information - but anyway you are doing a great job reverse engineering their file format.
 
Thx Gerald :)

Edit: As always ingenious ! ! Oh my god I'm afraid in future I will more analyze then drive ;)

MANY THANKS ! !
