Last few days I been having some fun doing a bit of programming. Not done any in years so a bit rusty and slow at it.
Something I've not liked about rF2 is trying to work out who you might be sharing a Pit box with before the race.
If you knew who you were sharing with then you could talk to that person and say when you going to pit so they don't come in on them laps, or something.
Some tracks it's easy to tell who you are sharing with as normally you would be sharing a garage or tent with them. But for other tracks it's not that clear. Think of Spa67.
So made a little program that automatically types in the chat box who you are sharing with. I just press one button on the keyboard and it's done. It works in all sessions but best time to use it is in the Warmup session.
Looks like this-->
As you can see I'm sharing with Stewart.
Nice thing about the tool, I don't have to be logged in as an Admin or the need to remote access the server for it to work.
I don't think we have enough drivers in the league for pit sharing to be an issue at the moment, but it's nice to have a tool to use if we ever do.
It will say ">>Drivers Sharing Pit boxes, None<<" for most of our races in the meantime .
I'm also integrating a Hotkey that Reverses the Grid. One that works without the need to remote the server. More info on that soon. Early tests is looking very good.
