    Meh, spent a couple of miserable hours farting about in Python and I think I might throw the towel in. Python is so comically and impossibly inadequate for *anything* even remotely complex. I have a byte array of raw data I want to send to a socket. It's made up of bytes that I create. Some represent 8bit ints, some single bytes combine data from multiple smaller values (flags etc). Some of these bytes are encoded Strings, some are multi-byte values like Floats.

    Python, being the retarded piece of crap it is, likes to treat all things as Strings. So when I send this byte array to a socket Python wants to know the String encoding of the data. Because, after all, everything in the world is a String. But this *isn't* a String and does *NOT HAVE A BLOODY ENCODING*.

    I hate it. Hate hate hate hate. And I think I'm going to just give up.

    The info I need is half in the shared memory, half in the python api. I really do take my hat off to anyone who's been able to build a worthwhile app with the python api. Working with it is just unbearable

    Yes, when it would be implemented in the app to choose the Language would be nice.

    Some fella's been hard at work with an Italian translation too. I'll do my best to support these but it's quite tricky

    more than half of those are driver names, which aren't strictly necessary. Although it does add to the tension when you enter a server with a VIP driver, and the app starts saying stuff like "Glock is reeling you in, the gap is now 2 seconds". It's hard to remain calm under such circumstances :)


    [edit] I'm happy to provide the Audacity filter chain details, or can even do the filtering for you if you want. I made a little sound pack app that unpacks all the folders into a single flat directory (renaming the files as it goes along). This allow Audacity to apply filter chains to the whole sound pack, then the same app can repack the filtered files into their correct folders

    Hello Mr. Belowski. I downloaded the new version of you and behold the spotters working again and I get the orders. What I find really great is the AutoUpdate. And what's also great that you can also simply install the driver name and the sound to me just one click. Absolutely beautiful. What I would naturally find very very great if it would give the orders in other languages. In German, it would be wonderful. :rolleyes:I know that's a lot of work maybe it will someday work.:)

    I love this app, I do wonder how hard it would be to make it work with the older simbin games, or other gmoter games as well. namly I would love to use it with stock car extreme, and gtr2 gtl and race 07

    So are you saying that you don't like Python then?

    I use Python in my day job (bioinformatics) and for handling enormous amounts of string data it's a revelation. But, horses for courses!

    Anyway, I don't really care what language you use as long as you keep the Crew Chief goodness coming - it's an amazing app that transforms R3E.

    Hello Mr. Belowski I have the following problem. When I start the program the test radio check can be heard through loudspeakers. But I have a headset and driving with headset. The tone in Teamspeak or the sound of the racing game can be heard through the headset. Only the statements from the crew chief I do not hear about headset. Where could be the problem?:(

    Exxon, the app will use the windows default audio playback device. This can be set in the windows control panel. Not sure if this will help, but worth a look.

    Glad you like it J F. Our little scrap at norisring kept it busy yesterday evening :)

    Hello Mr. Belowski. I found the mistake. It was because of the settings of Creative. I had to switch from 7.1 to headphones in the settings.:)
