[WRS]

http://www.sendspace.pl/file/027e3c2ba0e165d2c85d6ae

- Due to massive demand (one person  ) live split was added (it was taken directly from newest version or WRS AdvancedHUD).
- Lap times should now reset when going to track.
- New layout (lap times graph) was added.
- Added option for automatic switch to 'lap graph' layout when going to garage.
- First version of settings menu added.
- Some inner changes and bug fixes.
- New plugin. (For people that want to test it I want to add that plugin should also work with WRS).
Known issue: settings are not saved.

Don't forget to delete old plugin (.dlo)!

New layout is a bit more complicated but I hope it will be self explanatory. If you ever seen HotLap Event graphs you will probably find this layout to be very familiar. This is because they share a lot of same ideas (and part of code). App simply stores up to 40 lap times and then displays it on screen. That way you can analyze your previous pace. It also allows to show setup name that was used to make laps. So you can check how particular setup affected your speed. There is also simple report that shows best sector and lap times and corresponding setup names. I put some time to stuff it all into phone screen (that's why there is no x axis). But I think it still should look nicely on big ass screens (- looks at @Leonardo Ratafia-  ). By default graph will display time within 105% of best time. It can be changed in settings. It obviously won't apply if you want to see times ie from sector and lap time on one screen.

Beta 9 crashes when using "-testing" option.

...
1) shouldn't the program go back to "Waiting" when going back to pits?
...

Do you mean that program should exit layout and display main screen?

...
2) it seems that if you change track, the laps and splits are not reset

Thank you! That will be fixed.

I'm sorry but i change the folder .dlo and i can't remove this, because i open this with "bloc-notes" and  i don't know to change that.
Can you help me please !

Could you please rephrase it? Because I don't think I understand you.
You should not try to edit '.dlo' file. Configuration file '.ini'  can be opened with standard windows notepad.

- Tapping screen changes layout.
- Fixed layouts initialization.

For now I'm not editing first post because I don't know how stable is this version.

some suggestions (if possible):

- change between layouts by tapping the screen (dash / times)
- adjust or center to fit bigger screens

Thanks for help!

Can you check if this version fixes elements position?

Changing layouts with screen tapping is also good idea but I will need a bit more time for that.

EDIT:
Small clarification from my side:
iPhone - (closed system that require mac to even start thinking about writing anything) In second post @Intrepid James said that he is making his version.
windows phone - actually is not that bad... but I don't have that phone type and no way to test it.
So for the sake of transparency I think this thread should be only about Android/bugs/ideas.

[Android]

Android device and WiFi Network is required to run application. I know this significantly reduces size of target group but as we are in biggest PiBoSo community I hope there will be couple people wanting to help.

This release is simply supposed to check if project work on different types of machines without any issues. Also any feedback regarding installation process would be appreciated.

Description:
AndroidDash consist of game plugin and android device application. It uses WiFi network to send telemetry data to simple dash displayed over phone screen.

Installation:
1. Download and unpack files.
2. Move 'AndroidDash.dlo' and 'AndroidDash.ini' to 'plugins' folder located inside your Kart Racing Pro installation directory.
3. Install 'AndroidDash.apk'. Probably easiest way is to send program to your gmail account. Using your phone you can open message and use 'install' button.
- It may be required to enable option allowing you to install applications from outside android market
- Application will use port 5000 (for now hardcoded)
4. Start program and press 'get device IP' button (remember to have your phone connected to network).
5. Write assigned IP of your phone in 'AndroidDash.ini' file.
6. Start game and go to track (plugin will send packets only when vehicle is on track).
7. Press 'Start listener' button. If everything works layout buttons should become active.

This is how both dash layouts should look like:

Styled after formula renault 2.0 display layout shows basic vehicle information like: RPM, speed, gear, fuel left and temperatures. There is also LiveSplit that shows difference to your best lap on any point on track.

This layout shows previous lap and sector times. Also it displays difference to best sector and lap time.

Lap graph can store information about 40 entries allowing you to analyze pace of previous laps and sectors. Graph can also display used setup names so it's possible to check how particular setup affected your times.



Big thanks to dibu for help in initial testing and bug fixing.

I think C:\Program Files (x86)... is windows protected path. Can you try running game in administration mode? This will give plugin privileges required to create .log files.
You could also try running program as administrator when trying to edit settings file or alternatively edit it by hand (this is not recommended).

does this only support these tracks:
lonato
essay
victoria

No program can display data independently of track layout or name.
Program is supplied with maps of tracks that you mentioned (tarmac limits, kerbs position and track sections). This data can be loaded when those tracks are analyzed in "Track map" element.

Than you for report! But... in the future you will have bigger chance of getting answer if you post in piboso forums thread. Monitoring one thread is simpler than looking through whole forum (or different forums in this case). Also IMO "support" subforum is dedicated to problems with KRP only.

EDIT:
Well looks like I'm much to slow

Nev version uploaded!
    - Bug fix. After rejoining server live split didn't work till best lap time was posted.
      Credit for spotting bug goes to dibu.

I found a small bug. I'll send you PM.

I would prefer piboso forum PM of that's ok.

[Download:]

Download:
http://www.sendspace.pl/file/eefea179c7e300618adf6d0

Installation:
Unpack archive then move files (".dlo", ".ini" and "data" folder) into "plugins" folder located inside your "Kart Racing Pro" installation.

Usage:
When on track press F2 key to activate plugin menu. It will allow you to enable or disable particular window or move it to different position with created mouse cursor. After configuring HUD according to your preferences press F2 again. Window placement is saved separately for each kart.



Plugin creates display over your game screen that allows to show more information about your lap times. Main elements of display include sector and lap times, difference to best sector time, track map, fuel level and live split. Live split is similar to racing with "ghost". It shows time difference to your best lap time at any point on track.


Some of plugin elements require additional configuration. It is indicated by additional submenu placed on the right side of main menu. For gear change indicator submenu configures RPM threshold.

This program is ported version of World Racing Series Advanced HUD plugin.

hi guys i found that the other day with the mychron in real life you can set a heat limiter on it for the engine and when it go's over that amount it makes a noise like a ringing one. can you make this happen in the game?

I like this idea!
I think it should be easily possible with output plugin (i didn't check yet). Can you provide wav or mp3 file showing how its supposed to sound like?

Ok simple Live Timing logger
http://www.sendspace.pl/file/6b436eaacde80195c061e9d

Before starting server add configuration
[live]
enable = 1; 1 to enable live timing
port = 10660; the UDP port
password = admin

Start server, start logger if you didnt change anything click "connect" button.
Connection state should change to "OK". If it says "FULL" close program and try again after more than 15 seconds.

Messages from server will appear "Server data" label.
All messages are logged into text file. Slight difference is that rather than saving newlines '\n' I'm changing them to '|' sign. It keeps log file a bit more redable and still allows for easy parsing (file is open for writing and immediately closed).

If i didn't cocked something there will be also displayed times of sectors.

I'am completely green if it comes to writing websites... but it would be neat thing too learn.
For now dibu if you want i will wrap my program with some user interface to make it a bit easier to use and maybe you will find it useful.

Well i was doing app but i don't know how much sense is in doing something that will be visible only to one person. I guess i can slap some GUI and add data logging but i don't see big point to be honest.

...
Good to know you solved the problem.

Now i feel compelled to explain.
What i think i did was send one message "ACK\n" and then next message ID + '\n'. Proper way was to send one message "ACK\n" + ID + '\n'. And it seems to work.

For people wondering what is Live Timing, it's some very basic data about karts times in splits and on start meta line. There is also some info about track and session.
Maybe it will find some use in leagues to present players more statistics (like consistency of drivers), or give server admins a bit more knowledge about what is going on in server. Or maybe i just don't get it  .
