    Okay I managed to save the ini file and I ran a game session and have the log file open. What am I looking for in the log file?

    You send me the result file from ISI, not the TV login file nor the trace.txt file.

    The log file of the plugin is under "<rf2>/UserData/<profile>/GRTvPlugin" directory
    The trace.txt (if you added -trace=1000) is under "<rf2>/UserData/<profile>/logs" directory

    Additionnaly, and first of all, if the plugin is activated, when you enter the session to drive, after the "plugin" icon on the top left side of the screen disapear, you should see in the chat box something like "TV Plugin vx.x.x"
    If you have not this message, you have the plugin badly installed (be sure to have copied only one dll (the _x64.dll under the Bin64 directory)

    Hmm I don't have a logs folder under "<rf2>/UserData/<profile>/GRTvPlugin"

    I don't get any message like "TV Plugin vx.x.x"

    Also I'm using nvidia 3dvision not sure if that could be causing the plugin not to work

    Also the dll file associated with the plugin is in ProgramFilesx86/Rfactor 2/Bin 64/Plugins/Plugin.rf2

    Off to bed I'll be back in the morning to see if you any further ideas

    Dll should be directly under the rf2 plugins directory. Remove the "Plugin.rf2" directory and copy dll directly as for any other plugins

  15. Hi Gerald
    Quick question as im working on some changes to our "look" of the tv plugin.
    avatar.id=2 within the driver.ini, where does that point to - i guess one could use that for nationality for example.
    Where do i deciede what avatar.id=2, avatar.id=3, avatar.id=4 etc points too?

    Hello, it is a list of avatar images, like the list of logo or the list of image (it is in the main UI).
    You can use it if you want to display a specific image for a given driver (driver photo or car photo,...)

    Plugin V2.2.3 Available

    Now it is possible to use the category font color for the car number font (usefull when you overlay the car number on the colored category sticker - like in the Tower of the default UI)
    The following widgets have a new property on their main INI section - new property name = "use.category.font.color.for.car.number.field"
    Tower - Scrolling Banner - FastestLap - Driver Panel - CuttingLineGap - Compare3Driver

    Here an example for the Tower Widget:
    Code:
    [Tower]
    available=1
    use.category.font.color.for.car.number.field=1
    
    In this case, the Tower will use the category font color defined in the "VechicleClass.ini" mapping file, instead of using the "text.font.color.id" of the "[Tower.Number]" section
     

  18. Sounds good - would one have to update all files, or which files needs to be updated. Worked most of the day with a new layout - so dont want to start over :)

    The new parameter is in the following widget: Tower - Scrolling Banner - FastestLap - Driver Panel - CuttingLineGap - Compare3Driver
    As every update i did, your existing files stay compatible (there is always a default value when the parameter does not exist, who don't change the plugin result)
