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

Just make sure to let us know when you change your mind.

 

https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v1.12.1

Here is a small update with deltabest interruption issue fixed (issue reported by @doublebidule ), and hides vehicles that are stored in garage stall during race (feature requested by @Lazaros Filippakos ).
Also thanks to @Bernat for linux related updates.

Customization:

1.12.1 (2023-04-07)

• Relative Widget
  • [New]Add "hide_vehicle_in_garage_for_race" option in JSON,
    which hides vehicles that are stored in garage stall during race (for example, DNF or DQ).
    This option is enabled by default, set to false to disable.
• Hybrid Widget
  • Use plus/minus sign for regen/drain display.
• Core
  • Remove always on top on main(preset) window. (by Bernat)
  • Fixed an issue where app would fail to run if the current working directory isn't the app directory. (by Bernat)
  • Fixed deltabest being interrupted by mid-joining in multiplayer session.
  • Add "Quit" to Config menu in preset window.
• pyRfactor2SharedMemory library
  • Now always stores a separate copy of verified local-player-only data.
• Misc
  • Update README with install instruction for Linux. (by Bernat)
  • Updated customization guide for Relative Widget.

 

Is it possible to keep the widget selection on a second screen. Right now it loses focus after each selection... and you need to to find the system tray and reload it ever time to make changes...

 

Perhaps the options could be a check boxes in a Modal dialog instead of a menu item...
Never mind I think using it through load presets does what I was looking for...

 

hi, in the next v2.0 major update (which is currently the priority), there will be a widget control panel to handle all the widget toggle stuff.

Although I wished to keep it as a surprise, here is an early look:

 

3 Widgets for average drivers, to tell them just how average they are.
7 Widgets for short drivers that want to win all the gold.
9 Widgets for really really REALLY bad drivers who will virtually die every time.
1 Widget to find them & rule them all
Be your screen be bright or dark,
One Widget to rule them all, and only in the cockpit view Bind them.

 

Plus:

1 widget to teach dumb people how to drive
1 widget to teach dumb people how to overtake and defend positions fairly
1 widget to teach people how to drive properly on multiclass racing
1 widget to teach stewards how to judge race incidents fairly.

 

Hope you can add pit status (if someone press the pit button)
and the general positions.

and a way to set the tyres names

 

it is always possible to customize tyre compound names (abbreviation), see Customization Guide (tyre_compound_list):
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/wiki/Customization-Guide#relative

"pit status" was added a month ago. see below:

 

Very cool stuff mate. so so thanks!!

And it's possible to change relative to general ? top 10 for exemple?

 

Is it possible that there is a bug with the low fuel in the flag widget?

When I set
"low_fuel_for_race_only": true,
It's always active (during practise at least) even if the tank is full.

 

thanks for reporting. it's indeed a bug, a fix will be coming along with v2.0 update, hopefully soon.

 

Hi
a quick question is it possible to detach the pc time from the session overlay?
and in fact I'm still one ^^ do you plan for tiny2 an overlay which summarizes the config of the car as in gt3 or the tc/abs or the engine map is displayed? and many thanks for what you do for us

 

Thanks for suggestions. System clock can be turned off, if you mean detach it into a separate widget, i could add it in future release. As for tc/abs/mixture map, they are not exposes by game API. However I know that sharedmemory plugin can read from game message box info to retrieve such info, though I'm not sure if it is a good approach.

 

v2.0.0 Major update
Edit, new hotfix: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v2.0.1


How to upgrade from TinyPedal v1.x to v2.x:
Due to significant changes to GUI library, many old APP files from v1.x are no longer used.
Extract & override will still work for upgrading from v1.x to v2.x, however it may leave a lot useless files.

If you have used v1.x, and wish to keep things clean, follow those steps:

1. Download & extract TinyPedal v2.x in a different place.
2. Go to TinyPedal v1.x folder, copy deltabest & settings folders.
3. Then paste two folders into TinyPedal v2.x root folder and override folders with same name.
4. Done.

Also due to various new features and changes to old widgets, some settings are reset or has outdated values, which may need further configuration if using old preset. This can be done in Config dialog from each widget. If a widget doesn't show or display things correctly, try use reset button Config dialog to reset setting to default.

V2.0 is finally here, it's been over two months of sleepless nights, time to racing!

massive thanks

 

Here is a quick look at the new config window.

New widget control tab & config dialog:
Here you can config everything about widget, no longer need to editing JSON files. Click Apply button will immediately update changes to widget. Click Reset button will reset all setting of this widget to default, though you still need to click either Apply or Save button to apply changes, or click Cancel to discard changes.


And new "color text entry box" let you preview color changes directly, where you can easily set a new color by double clicking on the color entry box to open color dialog. The new GUI also supports alpha channel for color: the lower the alpha value, the less opacity the color has, 0 alpha value will make color invisible.


New module control tab & config dialog:
Here you can config all data modules which are important for providing data to widgets.


New preset tab & file operation context menu:
Here you can create, duplicate, rename, delete presets.


New global display units config dialog:
Here you can change display units globally, and they will immediately take effect when you clicked save button.

 

v2.0.1 - Hotfix
DL: https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v2.0.1

While trying solve the data interruption issue (when players join and leave server), it reintroduced data freeze issue in v2.0.0.
For this hotfix I have reverted code back to eariler version for now. Will try find a better solution later. Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

Big update, impressive. And you have included Linux compatibility changes too. Thanks!

That's a lot of work for one individual. Please, take care of yourself and sleep well.

Holy Smokes! Quite the extensive rewrite. Thanks!
