    pushed a small update to have the option to potentially wipe all generated values (potentially because we don't know for sure although the trick I use use is assuming the time ends with 000[4-6] (since the seconds I write end with 0005)

    and added riversides file to database

    Maybe, but that's just for the initial reassessment, and you can bypass that manually by selecting a different level than the file actually says. If e.g. Robert gets a 5% increase in the AI performance, you simply select a level that is 5 levels lower than what the file says.
    And once you have a fully fleshed-out XML, it'll span 5-6 levels for each combo, meaning that no matter what magic Robert may come up with, it'll adjust fairly easily.

    It doesn't, and IMO it shouldn't for the same reasons as above.
    You're better off having a tight grouping of indices that the AI can slide up or down as need be, than you are having to start all over again.
    If R3E decided to delete my XML after all the work I've put into it, I would be mightily pissed. :D

    Now if this had a column and could track our best laps it would be awesome

    Agree, iIrc, there's no wiping the file or certain data in it. As long as you don't delete it yourself, it keeps the values and updates them the next time you use the same class/track combo again. Not really a problem if the AI had been changed in the meantime, at least not after it adapted again.

    @baddogcbr929 good idea, when there is your own time already present in the aiadaptation file, I can easily show that as well, it may not be your fastest time ever so... And if you haven't done a SP race for that combo, there won't be a value.

    Well thinking about it, if you add someone's ai adaption file it would pull there fastest laps ? So may be of no use ?

    Well, if all you want is your fastest lap-time for a particular combo, there's always the leaderboards.

    @baddogcbr929 the data would come from the ai file that is local, hence me saying if you raced there before, I can show that number.

    Yes, you can also use the website of raceroom and find your own leaderboards time.

    Leaderboard only shows if you have done hotlap in those combos it does not record single player times , that's my understanding?

    Correct.
    On the other hand, the XML will only show laps done under race-conditions, which are rarely hot-laps.

    fixed a bug in the best player lap display, and I changed it to use a column as @baddogcbr929 suggested

    Work on my end is done. This project relies on people sending in ai files, to offer more.

    Or it requires someone with web programming skills to make it a web based service, so sending and generating doesn't require any local files

    Doesn't work like that.
    It relies on on data from other peoples AI files to establish a baseline.
    So either you can do the F4 training yourself and upload it, or you can wait for someone else to get around to it. :)
