Misc ACC Results Companion 1.24.8

[Doug Duthie]

@Zak84, @Steve_New, @MB190E, @Sean Kenney and everyone else affected.

Sorry - stupid mistake. I hadn't assigned defaults to the new colour weightings

If you move these to the other end of the scale, it should choose the correct contrast

I'll put a change in to fix the defaults and to ensure you don't get white on white or black on black

 

[MB190E]

Thanks Doug! Seems simple enough I should have figured it out but I think I have brain-fog lol

Doug Duthie updated ACC Results Companion with a new update entry:

ACC Results Companion V1.13.14

• Fix font colour contrast defaults - prevent white text on white background
• Remove BMW M4 ECU mode 9
• Allow position of widgets to be saved
• ARC CPU usage widget
• Tyre Sets window has option to remain on top (to be used for comparison in ACC setup)
• Tyre Sets title shows the session description the tyre sets are for

Read the rest of this update entry...

Ho Doug!
Do you know , if it's possible to track the tire temperatures across the lap duration somehow? Not only on the start/finish lane?

Hi,
The tyre temperatures are actually the average over the lap. I'm not planning to store anything more frequently that once per lap

i have the message "none none" in the type of session...i'm in spectator mode in a multiplayer session.. i have the message

[00000005-001|034] 2021-12-14 16:27:03 ERROR ARCProcessStats.MonitorMemory : ACC Results CPU Usage (1%) has exceeded the threshold (0%) for 10 seconds - Action=NONE

anyone can help me ?

 

[GL_DamienB]

ok so, it seems working well if i am a driver in the session, but not in spectator mode

 

[MB190E]

Yeah, I tried to use ARC as a spectator in a multiplayer session and it recorded nothing. I think it needs to see the player as a driver for it to record a session, but I’m not sure if there is a workaround for that.

I've never managed to test ARC as a spectator. If anyone has a server I can test spectating on, that would help

Cheers

BTW...That error just indicates that ARC has exceeded the allowable CPU threshold (which it looks like you've set to 0%). You've got no actions set, so the message is benign. To remove the message, just increase the threshold

I think a sensible expectation is probably no more than one core maximum (which it would only get to on storing results/leaderboards). ie if you have 6 physical cores, then it shouldn't normally exceed 16% (ie 100/6). If you set to 20%, then that highlights something going wrong.

I do. With a multiplayer event this Saturday at 2000 UTC so if you are interested, Doug, message me.

I am interested. I usually do the race steward as spectator in a championship that we manage, and i would like to use A.R.C. in the same time. If u can help, thanks !

I’m testing a spectator session tonight. Depending on how that goes, I’ll let you know if I might need to run more tests

 

[dante_3_16]

anyone knows why it doesnt show my real category? it displays silver, but I am gold

hi ! so ?

I'll have to check this....I think for SP it just uses the category of the driver you are racing as. I'll have to check MP

hi ! so ?

I drive ARC from shared memory (rightly or wrongly) to know when a session starts or finishes. For spectating, this is presenting me with two problems

• Shared memory is giving absolutely no information for spectated sessions. I've probably got 2 possible solutions
  • Add a button to manually start spectating a session. This is a bit rubbish but I may have to go down this route in the short term. I effectively did this in your race, and could see all the lap times (and accidents!)
  • Continually poll the broadcast session to see if a new one is available. I have to be careful with this and it could break everything else, so maybe this is something for a bit later
• Broadcast sessions never tell you when they stop, which should be the trigger to write the session (given I can't rely on shared memory). They just appear to stay active for ever. It looks like I may be able to check if a connection goes stale (no new information received for a while) and use this as a potential end of session. And again, make sure I don't break existing processing

I'll be looking at a solution, but it probably isn't going to be quick as need to completely change the way sessions are detected for spectating

@dante_3_16 :

I remember now. The category used is actually the category you set yourself in driver customisation. ACC doesn't make the rating category (or any other ratings) available

If you want your rating to match what you have earned, you need to manually set this in customisation

 

[dante_3_16]

oohh i see, thanks

Hi Doug,

thanks for the updates in the past. The overall laptime works fine now =)

I just did a MP race and export the result to json.
I´m wondering why every player has ""positionStartLap": 0," in first round.
Normaly I can fetch the starting grid position in round one out of this (positionStartLap).
In SP that works fine.

Can you have a look on this ?

Greetings
