Streaming? Sweet!! 2022.04.07

BCast updates include MiniPreviews in the Subtitle (which require some work on your end to function correctly), and Badges and Livery Icons in the Subtitle and Standings. There have also been some adjustments that will hopefully improve framerates.

The BCast Config has been overhauled, and is now mostly for quick changes once you've loaded a session to fine tune the standings:

In order to generate the mini Previews you'll need to manually call the included cmpreset for the affected cars in CM Content

You can also do this for many cars at once, but it will likely take 20 to 40 minutes to complete.

AutoCam now contains 2 new entries in the INI for controlling the delay during the pre-race countdown:

countdownDelayAfterABot = 2.0
countdownDelayNoABot = 10.0

There are likely other changes in this update that I coded months ago and have forgotten about.

Fixed a few bugs related to using the PreferredDrivers INI option.

I found a bug when testing with replay files when drivers disconnect and reconnect, which I've attempted to fix, and I also updated the 127_0_0_1.INI IP_INIs for AutoCam and BCast to better defaults.

The assettocorsa\apps\python\AutoCam\IP_INIs\127_0_0_1.ini contains the number of laps to be used with replays, as the AC replay file does not appear to contain information about the total laps a race session contains.

Code:

[SETTINGS]
adjustF5View = 1
adjustF5ViewX = 120
adjustF5ViewY = 120
replayTotalLaps = 6

I do not use AutoStartSystem with replay files, but this is an example of AnnouncerBot, AutoCam, and BCast with a replay file:

The primary reason for this release is to support formation laps and virtual safety/pace cars in KMR, but there have been other various bug fixes since the last release. As always, please let me know if there are any issues with using these apps.

The primary purpose of this release is to add support for replay files. The AC API does not contain all the same information during a replay, so there are some requirements and limitations with replay support. The primary requirement is that you'll need to edit/update the
apps\python\AutoCam\IP_INIs\127_0_0_1.ini file to specify the total number of race laps, as this is part of the information not provided in the replay.

The primary limitation is the only races are supported, so this does not work with practice or qualifying replays.

This version also supports showing the timing and lap gaps at the end of the race, as opposed to just showing a cars total race time.

If there are any issues with using theses app please post in the discussion thread.

I was noticing some laggy behavior in some scenarios, so I made a few adjustments that should resolve that issue.

Documentation is not where I'm strongest, but AnnouncerBot, AutoCam, and BCast should now have readme files that should help to explain some of the finer details. I'm sure these files will need some expanding in the future, or maybe a conversion to HTML, so they can include images and videos.

BCast should now support A2B tracks (assuming that tag is present in CM) and HIllClimb/Time Trial style events. The assumptions are that practice is for "Recce", and qualification are for the actual Timed runs.

If there are any issues please leave feedback in the support thread.
