[REL] TinyPedal - open source overlay APP for rF2 (Radar,Pedal,FFB,Deltabest,Relative,Fuel calculator)

Perfect, thanks!

 

Thanks for your amazing work on this! Find it really useful. Out of interest, is it possible to show the BTCC hybrid data at all in a widget, or some kind of P2P widget maybe? I believe the values are in the rfactor 2 physcis api but not sure if the shared memory apis you use have access to that yet. Would be a great addition i feel

 

Currently can't find any official document about the new P2P and other new data exposed in API (although it is mentioned in Q1 release notes, I had asked a few friends and they also can't find). And there isn't any update with sharedmemory plugin either, so atm there is no way to add this.

 

No worries, thanks anyway and keep up the great work!

 

A very good news:

With the help from my team mate, we have finally found the cause of the year-long issue with overlay data freeze.

The reason that overlay data freezes when someone joining server is due to player index desynchronized between rF2Telemetry & rF2Scoring data. When the data freeze happened, rF2Scoring will be updated with new player index; however, rF2Telemetry will still hold the old player index under certain condition. So when using the new player index from rF2Scoring to retrieve data from rF2Telemetry, it will result data freezing due to wrong data from mismatched index.

Currently I'm working on a new fix update, shouldn't take too long.

 

Good news, very annoying bug.

 

v1.11.5 - Fixed overlay data freeze issue
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.11.5

It's finally fixed, thanks to my teammate Rnzi for helping, and thanks to everyone who has followed or helped on this issue.

1.11.5 (2023-03-08)

• pyRfactor2SharedMemory library
  • Fixed a data freeze issue that caused by mismatched player's index between rF2Scoring & rF2Telemetry.
  • Now keeps two separate player's index values of the same local player, one for rF2Scoring, one for rF2Telemetry.
  • Add new mID matching method that uses rF2Scoring player's index
    to match the same mID and retrieves correct player's index in rF2Telemetry,
    which can also be used to match remote player's index in rF2Telemetry.
• Core
  • Updated relative module to use the new mID matching method.

 

Thank you very much!

 

v1.11.6 - Auto-hide Radar when no nearby vehicles
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.11.6

Here is another frequently requested feature that auto hides Radar when no cars near. Note, auto-hide will only trigger when player is not parked in garage.

Besides auto-hide, many new customizable options are added to Radar widget, including global radar size & scale, new distance reference circles, etc.

See customization:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/wiki/Customization-Guide#radar

1.11.6 (2023-03-10)

• Radar Widget
  
  • Add "auto_hide" option in JSON (default ON),
    which auto hides radar display when no nearby vehicles.
  • Add "auto_hide_time_threshold" option,
    which sets amount time(unit second) before triggering auto hide.
  • Add "minimum_auto_hide_distance" option,
    which sets minimum straight line distance(unit meter) before triggering auto hide.
    Set -1 value to auto scale with "radar_radius" value. Default value is -1.
  • Replaced "vehicle_scale" with new "radar_scale",
    which sets global scale of radar display.
  • Replaced "area_scale" with new "radar_radius",
    which sets radar display area by radius(unit meter).
  • Add "center_mark_radius" option,
    which sets center mark size by radius(unit meter).
  • Add "show_distance_circle" option,
    which shows 2 distance circles for distance reference.
  • Add "distance_circle_1_radius" & "distance_circle_2_radius" option,
    which sets distance circle size by radius(unit meter).
    Distance circle will not be displayed if radius is bigger than "radar_radius".
• Misc
  • Updated customization guide with new configurable options for Radar Widget.

 

Another great improvement. Thanks.

 

https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.11.7
A small update with bug fix and improvement.

Note, there is also a major update for TinyPedal that I have been working on for a few weeks now. The update will utilize a new GUI library that supports full alpha transparency, GPU acceleration, and more features & possibilities. It is still in early development so it will be a while before anything new arrives.

1.11.7 (2023-03-22)

• Gear Widget
  • Add "neutral_warning_time_threshold" additional condition check option in JSON,
    which activates color warning when both speed & time-in-neutral is higher than threshold.
    This helps avoid displaying color warning during normal shifting.
    Default value is 0.3 seconds.
• Core
  • Fixed an index out of range error that related to mSector data,
    which could cause Sector & Flag Widget to freeze.
• Misc
  • Updated customization guide for Gear Widget.

 

Is it possible to show the "Out" for leaving the pits for the whole lap?

 

Yes, in JSON file, for both Relative & Flag widgets, find following entry and increase their number (in seconds):

v1.12.0 - Hybrid & P2P Widget
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.12.0



Known limitation:
1. The current P2P mechanism is that if player has pressed P2P activation button during P2P cool-down duration(5s for BTCC), the cool-down duration will be extended.
However the current game API does not output player's P2P activation button state, and when P2P enters cool-down duration, the available data from API can not tell whether player has pressed P2P activation button again, thus "P2P ready" color indicator would not match the actual P2P status in game under this situation.

2. After battery completely drained (0%), P2P can still be activated in game (and onboard dash screen will continue to count P2P activation time). However, when activate P2P at 0% battery, the game API data(motor state value) would always return "inactive" state, thus it is not possible for the widget to continue count P2P activation time.

Note:
The current P2P widget activation condition check options are set for BTCC, which are
15s max duration per lap, 5s cool down, minimum 3rd gear with over 120kph and positive throttle for activation. Those condition options can be customized in JSON file.

hi,
too good you are awesome.
is it possible that in the future we have a map (the layout) with the competitors on it to know where he is? we still have the delta bar that does all kinds of crap when some people with ponde letters log in. thanks again

 

Hi, Trackmap will be there along with many new things in the next major update (v2.0) that I mentioned in a few posts earlier, however no estimate when the new version will be arrived, as there are still a lot of work ahead.

As for deltabest interrupt issue during player joining, it will likely be fixed in the next minor update hopefully.

 

How easy would it be for the relative to show players that are on track only and not show the ones that are in the garage. Its a liittle difficult during a race where people escape out to see what the car behind you is doing.

 

thanks for the suggestion, it should be possible, and probably only be activated for race only (optional), will see.

 

Dear Victor,

I'm unsure whether this question has been asked before in the thread. Do you have a way for me, or us, to make a donation for this great piece of work you have delivered for us? I made a conscious switch from a paid SimHub license to TinyPedal simply because of the accessibility, ease of use, and stability as well which I feel like is way better with TinyPedal than running rFactor together with SimHub. So next to complimenting you and expressing gratitude for the work you delivered, I think you really deserve the donations you would be getting for this and if this hasn't been kicked off yet I would very much like to do so.

Please let me know!

 

hi, currently I don't take donations, but thank you for the kind support & comments.
