[REL] TinyPedal - open source overlay for rF2 (Pacenotes,Radar,FFB,Deltabest,Relative,Fuel Calculator)

ok, were you running server also on your PC?
@DanRZ mentioned in this post that there may be conflict if running server and client at same time:
https://forum.studio-397.com/index....n-the-in-game-server-list.75925/#post-1146856

Another thing you can check is to clean Web UI cache, by deleting following 2 folders (in bold):
rFactor 2\Bin\Cache
rFactor 2\UserData\player\LocalStorage

As I suspect maybe there is something corrupted with Web UI stuff. After deleting, you could also try verify game integrity.

If still doesn't work, try backup userdata folder, and start a fresh one and see if it helps.

Also check if there is any firewall program that limits RF2's connection in some way.

If all those doesn't work, maybe you could check if it works on another PC (if you have one), or report this to bug forum.

One thing can be sure now is that, it is not an issue with tinypedal, but something not working in Rest API.

 

My server is not a client pc, but the server is connected to LAN.
I tried Cache and LocalStorage now, but can not change them.
Next I will try to verify game integrity and more.

 

@yashiman I think I know why it doesn't work in Rest API now.

As I just tested, before starting game, I modified "MULTI RaceTimeScale" value in player.json to 7, then after launch game and joining official server, the SESSSET_race_timescale value from Rest API shows x7, despite the session is x1 scale.

This means that SESSSET_race_timescale value from Rest API is never synced with server side time-scale. So SESSSET_race_timescale value is probably useless and cannot sync with server time-scale in RF2.

It is not anything wrong with your RF2, you don't have to do any more testing.

For now you can manually change "MULTI RaceTimeScale" value in player.json to 1 to at least make it normal scale as default.

Thanks again for the help.

ps: I guess now we just have to accept that it is a game limitation that time-scale cannot be synced with server, unless developer would add something to API to allow sync server track clock time.

 

@svictor
I tried to delete the Userdata folder just now, but it was not needed. Oh can't stop! (joke) lol

Good finding it cause.I do not know the Rest API detail, but maybe I can solve by your suggestion.

Thanks a lot.

P.S.
I can change time scale

 

No problem mate. One thing I wonder is that if SESSSET_race_timescale works in LMU, but so far I don't have the chance to test it . Interestingly there has not been any report about wrong track clock time, so I would only guess it maybe works. If any one finds track clock synchronization does (or doesn't) work in LMU, feel free to report back.

 

We are trying to get the track map to show in OBS while broadcasting as spectator. Following what you said everything works however I cant figure out how to get it to show in OBS? I read this in the HELP FAC:

Q: How to capture overlay in OBS stream?
For windows platform, currently it is only possible to capture overlay by using Display Capture to capture entire screen in OBS.

Ok but when doing this I get a cascading view of the OBS work page & not the game screen .. lol (i don't know what I'm doing lol) any help on how to only show the track map in OBS on top of the stream/game capture?
Thanks ..

 

Hey there! Congrats for the app! It's excellent!
I have been using it with LMU and I have two issues..
I don't get any readings in the break wear widget, and the standings widget (only that) doesn't show at all.. when i turn it on it shows for a fraction of a second and it totally disappears..
Is there anything I can do? I'm not used to rf2 platform (switched to LMU directly from ACC) so it's the first time i'm using your app.
Many thanks again

 

@kro388th
Cascading is normal when using "display capture" mode, because "display capture" mode captures everything on your screen, including OBS window itself.

You just need to minimize OBS window after you have started streaming, and alt-tab to RF2 game (RF2 must be in borderless or windowed mode) to show RF2 on top of all other applications.


@emd86
1. Check whether "rFactor2SharedMemoryMapPlugin64" plug-in is installed and enabled in LMU.

2. Check whether all data modules are enabled in "Module" tab in main config window. For reference, "brake wear widget" requires RestAPI module and only works in LMU. "standings widget" requires "relative module" & "vehicles module". In general, there is no reason to disable any data modules.

Also note, brakes wear extremely slow, you will probably never see any (or zero) brake wear in an hour of driving.

If have further issue, please consider attach screenshots, that way it will be easier to identify issue.

Cheers

 

Ah yes, all the data modules are disabled (i didn't knew what they do )
I'll check it again and i'll tell you.

**edit: enabled all the modules and everything works great. Many thanks

 

Recently I remembered that iRacing has a lot of useful information on system widget (Meter box).

https://support.iracing.com/support/solutions/articles/31000133494-meter-box-f-key-in-game-

Could be possible to add the same data to tinypedal?

Specially Framerate, network latency, network quality.

 

Good idea, it could be possible, I'll add it to to-do list. I'm currently working on a few major new features, so other stuff may have to wait a bit.

Cheers

 

Hi @svictor, thank you for the great app.
I have a suggestion: add an optional caption/display label to these widgets (to distinguish them): Ride height, Suspension position, tyre load.

 

2.20.0 release - New Pace Notes system, Track Notes Editor, Track Map Viewer
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v2.20.0

This update adds one of the long-requested feature from community, the new TinyPedal Track & Pace Notes system is now available for both RF2 & LMU.

And in order to help players with track & pace notes creation, the brand new Track Notes Editor & Track Map Viewer were also extensively developed with various data to ease the creation process.

Further more, with the kind support and technical assistance from two legendary GPL modders Lee Bowden and Jim Pearson, the "GPL pace notes" system is now integrated in the new Track Notes Editor, which also allows player to create new pace notes for the 26 year old sim.

And with their kind permission, the original GPL Targa Florio and Isle of Man Mountain Course pace notes made by Lee and Jim are both ported to RF2. Pace notes file and details will be updated in Targa Florio & Isle of Man threads shortly.









Two example track notes files made for LMU's Sebring & Fuji can be found in attachment, which includes all corner & section names. Just place those files in TinyPedal\tracknotes folder and load up corresponding tracks in LMU, and corner names will be displayed in the new Track notes Widget.

See Changelog and User Guide for further usage info. Have fun making notes~

Hi, I have the latest version now but I can't get my track map to update/load the current track. It simply shows the default oval .. I have done 3 sessions with over 10 laps each trying to get it to show .. all clean laps even going extremely slow as to not to have any offs. but it still won't show load the track map svg? The track is rF2 Fuji Speedway Katsuo v0.7. With the last build, it was working with the last track Interlagos only after 3 or 4 laps completed.. Thx for any help!

 

Never mind , I sorted it out .. I was in Spectate mode

 

It is incredible how much you have advanced in 1 month with this fantastic application. Thank you

 

What a great update again. Great work.
I just tested the track notes and it is really useful.

I think there is some improvement to make on Pits entry/exit to remove any proximity Notes
or i would suggest to show specific notes to Pits maybe on Entry and Exit with some "special" note linked to specific event.

The last Note stays permanently until next note.
There is no disappearing mecanism through delay or distance from point ?

Can you explain a little more how sound works in Pace Notes menu ?

Thanks again for that.

 

@svictor Hey buddy, this is fantastic. Now with Pace Notes and Pace Notes playback we can go flatout the beautiful targa florio and Isle Of Man. Your work is incredible. This tool is for a Sim-Oscar.

 

Thank you all for the kind supports and comments. All previous suggestions have been noted, I'll see what I can do.

@DanRZ
Good ideas, I will try add optional message time-out duration & fade out in next update.

About pit lane, it is possible. In earlier testing, I added some code to disable message message entirely while in pit lane, but it was not optimal so I removed it. There is not much can be done at track notes side though. It probably has to be an external option (such as predefined pit lane text) in Track Notes Widget to override message while you are in pit lane, which is going to be very similar to the one you see from Flag Widget. I can certainly add this option in next update.

Here is how TinyPedal notes system currently works:



Cheers

 

Thanks for the graph.
We can "shadow" pits by using blanks notes on certain tracks.

Can you show an example of "sound file" from "pace note" ?

The text is the name ? Turn 1 > Turn_1.mp3 ?
Or all the data in one line in the tppn file ? Text, distance, comment, ...
