Shared Memory API

I don't think it is

 

Yeah me neither.....I was hoping that you had hacked it in some way

 

I did have a poke around to see if there was any way I could tell - perhaps the AI drivers were always added to the block after the player or something but I couldn't see a usable pattern

 

I have a problem with generating a unique Id for each session. The closest I got is

SessionType + TrackInfo.TrackId + TrackInfo.LayoutId

but that is not unique at all

I'd appreciate if you can add some unique Id for each session.

Thanks!

 

Hi,

I am now developing a few in-game overlays using directX and at the moment I cannot tell from the Shared API if the user:

1. Had pause the game
2. Is in pits but not on the track, that is he is view the timing, changing the set etc. I need to hide the overlays if the users is in menu doing something.

Thanks!
Stefan

 

Can't you use the PlayerData.GameSimulationTime to detect pause / viewing replays?

No idea about the other one. We could do with a better way to communicate our requests to the devs for this stuff really, to prevent requests getting lost

 

I checked GameSimulationTime but its value does not seem to change or make sense. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, I think the requests here fall into a very deep dark well......not sure what they prefer. Or maybe they prefer we ask nothing haha

 

GameSimulationTime is the number of seconds since the session started I think. It definitely does get updated

 

+1

 

Yes, that would be nice.

 

Hello....sorry....maybe a little off-topic....but do you have detailed information about the shared memory API used by Race07? If yes, could you please provide it to me/us?

 

Could you also have a look at the tire temps? At first glance they look good, but i.e. when you try a make donuts to heat up rear tires you won't really notice a huge increase of temps.

A quick word on the C example:

In function 'is_process_running' the snapshot handle should be closed to avoid memory leaks. I am just mentioning this as people tend to copy code without looking at it in detail.

Code:

bool is_process_running(const TCHAR* name)
{
    HANDLE hSnapshot = NULL;
    PROCESSENTRY32 entry;
    bool bRunning = false;

    ZeroMemory(&entry, sizeof(entry));
    entry.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32);

    hSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0);
    if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != hSnapshot)
    {
        if (Process32First(hSnapshot, &entry))
        {
            while (!bRunning && Process32Next(hSnapshot, &entry))
            {
                bRunning = _tcscmp(entry.szExeFile, name) == 0;
            }
        }

        CloseHandle(hSnapshot);
        hSnapshot = NULL;
    }

    return bRunning;
}

It's the same as for GTL, GTR and GTR2. You should be able to google it.
Each of the titles has a different shared memory name though:

GTR: $SimBin$
GTR2: $gtr2$
GTL: $gtlegends$
RACE07: $Race$

 

Hey, I already found some Details, e.g.http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/how-to-get-live-data-from-race07.63386/
I just wondered if there was some additional data added in the meantime ;-)

 

Hi,
Using the Shared Memory API, I would like to create a list of laps and then display some telemetry data for the lap the user has selected. How can I recognize the start of a new lap?

I guess that to get the data we have to use some kind of reading rate (for example every 1/10 of a second or so). What should we use usually?

Daniel

 

I am using Sensadigit's DashmeterPro since a few days now, but I don't seem to get water and oil temperature readouts, at least they never even reach 60°C, which is obviously too low...
Or doesn't RR's API send these ?
I looked at a few cockpit gauges too and there was not much happening either ?

 

R3E API definitely sends that data. If the data is good or not, that I would not know though. I can check on my dash.

 

Thanks, I'd appreciate that...

 

The engine temp data you're seeing is what r3e is sending. The temperatures in most cars are unrealistically low

 

OK, so this is a known issue ?
