    Your wish is my command :D

    If I've broken anything adding two lines to the program it's your fault.

    I wonder.... (hehe)

    Could you make it a 1-click script and have it do the uploading to Uwe's site?

    You might have to sort something out with him to be able to do it.

    Pre-complete the login details (not the most secure way to do things, but it's not like you use the same password elsewhere, do you?!) Upload the create file to the correct URL as given by Uwe and jobsagudden...

    Might be easier said than done, but if it's possible, it can be added to the startup folder so would be totally automated.

    And now (back on topic).... a gooey version: https://github.com/TonyWhitley/rFactory/releases/tag/V0.1.130
    ______________________________________________
    WARNING: Needs updating to latest pyinstaller to overcome its vulnerability GHSA-7fcj-pq9j-wh2r (if you want details: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v3.6/CHANGES.html) but at the moment there are errors in the build process so I haven't been able to make a new exe file. I don't think this is a particularly serious vulnerability in this case but it's up to you.
    ________________________________________________________________________________

    rFactoryModMaker.JPG
    It reads the folders in your rFactor and lists them in the windows. Select the ones you want then press => to move them to the selection window. Then click Create ModMaker.bat data file to save the file and finally Run rFactor 2 to load rFactor in single-player mode with only the mods you have selected. It's running the same batch file as earlier so that means they can share data files.

    If you want to remove mods from the selection windows select them and then press <= to remove them.

    If your rFactor and Steam are not in c:\programs.... then edit the entries rF2root and SteamExe in Datafiles\favourites\rFactoryConfig.JSON found wherever you put rFactoryModManager.exe

    Yay! At last, something good enough to get me off my duff on getting myself more organized.

    Not sure if I did something wrong, but it killed SimHub for me. :(

    I've never used SimHub so it's not something I've tested but I can't immediately think of anything ModMaker does that should upset it. (The new GUI just creates the data files, it then runs ModMaker.bat which is the same as when you were using it before).

    No, I can't either. I'll do some more testing if nobody else is having an issue.

    I have a dash which just shows FFB values I use when trying settings, spent a hour or two trying to get it working, even rebooting a few times. Then I realised none of my other dashes worked either.

    Ran the game with the Steam launcher and it came back to life.

    ModMaker does bypass the Steam launcher - it makes sure Steam is running but then runs rFactor with
    Code:
    Bin64\rFactor2.exe  +singleplayer +path=<path to the mod set>

    SimHub works fine if I drag n drop, doesn't work if I use the green "Run rFactor 2" button in your launcher, how odd!

    Other than this though, it's great.

    There's nothing worse than going into the game then trying to work out which car/track you need to use, much easier with your launcher open and whatever else to cross reference.

    ;)

    Yeah. No idea. The green button code boils down to
    Code:
        _cmd = bundleFolder('ModMaker.bat') + ' ' + self.modmaker_file
        run(_cmd)
    It has its own copy of ModMaker.bat but it’s the same content.

    As I spend more time scrolling though the list of cars & tracks, I've made myself a little batch file which creates a random.modfile.txt file, I've not tested it as yet, but it "should" work.

    @echo off
    echo Name=Random>random.modfile.txt
    set /a rand=%random% %% 213
    for /f "tokens=1* delims=:" %%i in ('findstr /n .* "c:\path\to\carlist.txt"') do (
    if "%%i"=="%rand%" echo %%j
    )>>random.modfile.txt
    set /a rand=%random% %% 337
    for /f "tokens=1* delims=:" %%i in ('findstr /n .* "c:\path\to\tracklist.txt"') do (
    if "%%i"=="%rand%" echo %%j
    )>>random.modfile.txt


    Just create a text file with a list of cars (start each line with "Vehicle=") & the same for tracks ("Location=").

    Maybe something you could add to your ModManager, SS.

    Clever but it doesn't quite work, you need something like
    Code:
    set /a rand=((%random% %% 213) ^& 7) + 1
    
    to get a rand in the range 1-8 (and then 8 cars and tracks to choose from). Definitely something that would be a lot better in Python!

    Not really sure of the point though - why would you want to pick a random car and track?

    Drag your *.modfile.txt and drop it on the modmaker.bat file.

    You would get that if d:/Zusatz/Steam/steamapps/common/rFactor 2/Installed/Vehicles is empty. At that point the program is listing all the vehicles to find out which has the longest name. The list (sequence) it has got has nothing in it.

    Or...
    What you've posted is missing the { at the beginning. I assume that's just a typo but if there is an error in the JSON file the program will write a new one with the default
    "rF2root": "%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Steam/steamapps/common/rFactor 2"


    One day I'll add a sanity check to validate rF2root.
