[REL] rF2 Shared Memory Tools for Developers

So you admit that rf2 is hacked by this tool?

 

No, this tool is reading from rF2. Writing to rF2 is an entirely different thing.

What are you trying to do?

 

How exactly ability to read a string that plugin reads makes rF2 more cheatable than it already is? You do understand what it reads exactly, and how, right? And, github is full of techniques like this.

 

You consider acessing something that is not intended to be accessibly not a hack?
How big is the difference from reading to writing as soon as you know a memory location?

 

You should ask yourself those questions, and find some answers, before you suggest something is a hack.

 

Hi there - I'm just starting to use SimHub and noticed references to this excellent plug-in (already been using it indirectly with CrewChief, of course...)

Are the data properties automatically exposed to SimHub or do I need to set something up? In the SimHub 'Available Properties', I can see a bunch of data under DataCorePlugin, but nothing explicitly mentioning the shared memory plugin and some data fields that I know @Lazza has used for Motec aren't there (or aren't obvious)...

Thanks all!

 

Hi everybody,

I'm a developer and in the past months a friend and I have developed our own plugin using the standard Plugin API from rFactor. Now I have realized, that most of the stuff, we need to get from the game is already exposed by this plugin. I think I have understood how it works, and would like to migrate all our stuff to a tool using this.
- Is there any up to date sample, how to access the data? I saw in the description there should be a sample in C# but I didn't manage to find it=
- Am I right, that I don't need to code in C++ anymore, but could switch e.g. to Java?

Looking forward to getting some feedback,

kind regards from Germany

 

In the Releases section of GitHub, there is the source code
https://github.com/TheIronWolfModding/rF2SharedMemoryMapPlugin/releases

 

The sample app (C#) is rF2SharedMemoryMapPlugin/Monitor/rF2SMMonitor/rF2SMMonitor at master · TheIronWolfModding/rF2SharedMemoryMapPlugin (github.com)
Yes you could switch to Java, here is my Python library as an example TonyWhitley/pyRfactor2SharedMemory: Python library for accessing rFactor 2's shared memory (github.com)
(I have never written Java)

 

Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for

 

Hi everybody,
I'm currently trying to get the Plugin + Monitor running on the dedicated server. Unfortunately, the monitor always says "Not connected". When enabling the debugging, I get these messages:

Code:

11:06:05.306 TID:0x18f0  DirectMemoryReader::Initialize(29) : ERROR: Failed to resolve message array.
11:06:05.306 TID:0x18f0  SharedMemoryPlugin::Startup(345) : ERROR: Failed to initialize DMA, disabling DMA.

Does anyone have an idea, what I'm doing wrong? I have installed the redistributables and set the Variables to this:

Code:

  "rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll":{
    " Enabled":1,
    "DebugISIInternals":0,
    "DebugOutputLevel":5,
    "DebugOutputSource":1,
    "DedicatedServerMapGlobally":1,
    "EnableDirectMemoryAccess":1,
    "EnableHWControlInput":1,
    "EnableRulesControlInput":0,
    "EnableWeatherControlInput":0,
    "UnsubscribedBuffersMask":0
  }
}

As I am using an admin account on the server, I should also have the permission to "create global objects. Looking forward to hearing from you,

Thank you and kind regards

 

I have no idea about dedicated server setup but i can tell that "EnableDirectMemoryAccess": is meaningless for dedi server and should be set to 0. Connection to shared memory should not be affected by that though.

Did you append PID to shared memory file names you are trying to read? You can use SysInternals Process Explorer to see what shared memory files plugin creates.

 

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I only tried to get the rf2smmp_monitor running. So I did not try to read anywthing with my own code.
So if I get this correctly, rf2smmp_monito cannot work with dedi server, as the PID cannot be added somewhere in the settings?

Also, for which application do I need to look? Should it be the dedi application it self? I cannot see anything else that would suitable.

 

Correct - Monitor does not work with Dedicated server.

 

Hello, i have a problem with this plugin.
It doesn't seems to start properly.
I start other plugins on my dedicated without issues but this one doesn't load at start.
I already had this kind of issue with redistributables ...
Are there any dependencies i can check ?
Thanks.

My dedicated is running on Windows Server 2019, and here is the JSON file part :

Code:

  "rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll":{
    " Enabled":1,
    "DebugISIInternals":0,
    "DebugOutputLevel":0,
    "DebugOutputSource":0,
    "DedicatedServerMapGlobally":1,
    "EnableDirectMemoryAccess":0,
    "EnableHWControlInput":1,
    "EnableRulesControlInput":0,
    "EnableWeatherControlInput":0,
    "UnsubscribedBuffersMask":0
  }

 

Or are there any alternative to this plugin ? To make live timing working on r2la ...

 

Problem solved : It needed to reinstall all VC redistributable in Support/Runtimes ...
Thanks to Nibo for his help.

 

pls help guys, i get this error after reinstalling windows server
