What programming language is it that the html files are using to display the values (and where would I look if I wanted to learn a bit of it)? Is it possible to using if statements or process strings?

Also, the HP value in Parts.Engine seems to be bhp (i.e. before tuning) ... is the actual HP available? Also is there a value that represents the state of the car's oil?

No more questions for at least an hour, I promise! :lol: :lol:

It's not programmable from your side and you don't need to know anything about it. Instead, you can if you want put the values in hidden fields on the HTML page and then process them as you like using (Java)script.

I'll soon make values more readily available and in separate entities, stuff like HP/PS, weight, and power increase percentages that you can use for your own calculations will become available in numeric format.

I'm not sure I like the browser approach. After having used it a little, I think I'm now leaning again towards putting a little manager in there that allows you to link your own HTML pages to certain menu options and then specify the width, height and startup positions both in pixels and in percentages.
 
That's what I ended up doing, actuall (duming values to JavaScript). It works pretty well, just not the cleanest. :shrug:

More values are always good :)

As far as the browser goes, I figured that it'd save you writing some code. Doesn't really matter, as long as the window size can be changed.

Just as a teaser, here's what I was working on last night:

In the parts section, Turbo and N/A Tune toggle (via JavaScript) depending on the type of engine the car has. The window also automatically resizes to fit the content.
 
Cool ... ok, so you are resizing dynamically. In that case, I may have a look-see if it's hard to start the browser without the bars instead, though I'll also look if it's hard to catch that request from within my program and cater to it there. I'll look into it, but I'll leave the program as it is then for the moment so you can continue testing as is. I've got some nice threading experiments going on and added an icon (probably not the final one but it's a start).

Keep up the good work fellas
 
Arwin & Luxy you guys are UNREAL!!!:eek::eek: Took me a bit to figure it all out but FINALLY have my memory cards "Under Control", THANX.
One small request: Is it possible to show the COLOR of ROAD CARS??? Sometimes I'll try different Settings w/several versions of a particular car & I keep track of them by their color. If not, No Big Deal, THANX AGAIN ...UB57
:D
 
Hmm, Lotus suggested this earlier, and I too wouldn't mind if this thread became a sticky ... So, mods, what about it? :D
 
I've just had to D/l this thing for the 3rd time, coz someone keeps deleteing it!! :banghead:

Might get an updated version anyway :cool:
 
You were a little early Lotus, I just now posted a new version ... :rolleyes:

Changes:
- Icon :D
- Some threading stuff, meaning that you can fool around with the Replay Manager (preview the Challenge tool f.i.) while it's checking out the replay files in the background
- which also means it boots up a bit quicker because init files are being loaded in the background

I've been taking a break from this a bit the last few days to do some serious racing. Sometimes have to remember what you are doing it for :D Done some enduros, tried to get some medal positions on gt3times, and improved my TT1&2 times (TT2 under 1'44 for the first time :D).

Now my memcards are full of replays again though. :lol:
 
Oh yeah and in a minute I also uploaded a version which has the file extention stuff fixed so that it really filters memcard files now.

whers your latest version ?
 
Well since we're a sticky and GT3Times isn't always up I noticed I decided to put up links on this site as well, see the first post. I'll copy over the full instructions from there later when it is back up.

thats the same version as you last posted before, i have that one
 
It shouldn't be, but I'm replacing it again to be sure and also used Winzip instead of ZipCentral (which we have at the office, but it SUCKS, because it does crazy things with folder names)

bining ? yes ?
 
Hey Arwin, Nice program! I just installed it and everything went smoothly. I now have all my replays organized and renamed in no time flat! Now I want to go make more replays to save since before it was such a pain in the a$$. I wish I would have known about this a while ago...:rolleyes:

I get and error about .NET everytime i load it, and before taht i had a DLL error that i fixed, what should i do

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Have you installed the .NET Framework software? Or is that where you get the error?
 
Arwin:
I believe the damper readouts are incorrect. Bound should be = FrontBound/RearBound and Rebound should be=FrontRebound/RearRebound. Correct? I setup a car with damper settings of FrontBound=1/RearBound=2 and FrontRebound=3/RearRebound=4 , saved, uploaded to the PC and opened with Replay Manager v1.0.1198.2736. The damper readouts should be=Bound 1/2 and Rebound 3/4, but the program reads=Bound 1/3 and Rebound 2/4. It looks like Bound is showing the fronts and Rebound is showing the rears. Am I missing something? BTW, nice program.
 
I'll look into it, thanks ... ! The front and rear of these are often the same so I could very well have missed that.
 
err i gota problem!
i cant open the ****er!
help please someone tell me which thing it is i gotta open!:(

i thought i would have been the gtr rmanager one nut it says
'the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). click on OK to terminate the application.'

and those are its precise words!

EDIT: oops jus read first post! - so where can i get teh .NET Framework Runtime or whatever that is!
 
Hi Peeps, I just updated the proggie to fix a few last (I think :D) issues:

- some licence tests don't show a time at the normal location. No explanation, it just isn't there in the file. :confused: This happens in the Time Trials and Free Run as well, though only in very few of them, strange bug on PD's part I think. I now detect this error in general and take the time from the descriptor at the end. In these cases, the Free Run total time is simply not available. Odd.

- Settings files now also show comment and description, which I'm sure you'll all be happy with

I think that really solves all remaining issues though so that's cool. (Should have looked into this sooner)
