Version 0.1.16.1 / 24.08.2019
This Update is mainly about multiplayer driver renaming.
- multiplayer renaming
- Small improvement in Widget2 (time tower) and Widget4 – Speedometer_V1
- few bug fixes and improvements
Detailed information regarding multiplayer renaming functionality. Codemaster is sending in F1 2019 multiplayer sessions only the „Player“. TeamTelemetry is decrypting this to <racenumber>_<car>_<driverID>
Furthermore, you have now the possibility to rename this to a proper driver name in Options->Multiplayer. This might be good for your own overview, streaming with commentary background, etc.
How does it work: First you have to choose if you want to make your own name (defined in Options->Details, see (1)) public. Your name will send be to TeamTelemetry server and would be made available for other TeamTelemetry Users who are driving in the same session (The session ID you can define by your own in the session-id text box (5). Spread this UID to all drivers (who are using TT) in your multiplayer races. These names will be fetched automatically when you activated “automatic renaming”. For all other driver names, you have to take care of your own. The following procedure is recommended. Press “Update” (2) to get all names. At that moment take a look at the race directory and connect the real multiplayer name to the decrypted one inside team telemetry (<racenumber>_<car>_<driverID>). Press “Rename” (3) to rename. In case that you want to let participate of all other Tt-Multiplayer-Drivers in your session, you can “Upload” (6) these changes to servers. The other multiplayer will get the information automatically (see Automatic renaming is checked” (4). You can save and load multiplayer renaming definitions and edit in .csv file. Please note that with every F1 session the player race number or driverID could be changed by F1 2019. It is recommended that you change Driver names when “Automatic renaming” is switched off.
This complete topic is not very convenient and Team Telemetry just wants to give you a tool how you can handle that it little.
We are hoping that Codemasters are changing their mind and provide the real multiplayer driver names in the UDP-stream again. Good luck.
