DiRT Rally DiRTy Pacenotes 2.5.1
- Thread starter Palo Samo
- Start date
Hello guys,
Great work Palo Samo and a big thank you, I have to say I have been waiting for an option to customize pacenotes since the game was launched. Even though the original system is fantastic, compared to rbr original for example, and a great attention to detail was given, I found that if you really drive with pacenotes and don't want (or don't have time) to learn the stages by heart, it is essential to make your own, a thing that not only adds to the element of realism (doing the "recce"), but also helps you improve your race line and do less guess work. I also want to develop a system of making pacenotes in real life, and it helps, so you're a life saver. I used the tool on a couple of stages and it's brilliant, I have to say, does everything it should. I also encountered a few problems, and I wish to try and contribute in a constructive way, or maybe I'm doing something wrong, don't know. So:
- first thing is in the editor, it takes a lot of time to make the notes, because if you select one instruction, for ex left_5 in folder left_turn, you can not use it again, you have to click on a different item in the same folder, like left_4 for ex and then delete and start over etc. A workaround would be to use a duplicate for each folder, does this happen to someone else?
- second thing, I can't make Gordolon work, even with no pacenotes and all the original files, the com prompt window just closes when I launch the stage. And other stages are working, like Approche du col, with the same files. Am I doing something wrong, perhaps?

Thank you for your input, this is what keeps me motivated 
As for your problems, they come from my lack of programming skills (I didn't know java or python before this project) and lack of time to improve my program. There is another similar mod being developed by a serious programmer so it will be a lot better but in meantime I will try and improve my app. Thanks again!

With Gordolon I get this error, though I got it to work earlier today...
Initial UDP closed
Detected stage: Gordolon - Courte montee
Traceback <most recent call last>:
File "DRCP.py", line 169 in <module>
File "DRCP.py", line 164, in read_udp
File "DRCP.py", line 96, in detect_stage
File "DRCP.py", line 103, in read_pacenotes_file
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode <'r'> or filename: ''
Any news on recent developments? Or about the similar mode being developed?
Thanks!

EDIT: When creating tutorial I encountered some bugs, which were not there before this update. I guess I am in line with Codies' update strategy Sorry about that, it is now resolved.
EDIT#2: Tutorial is not going to be released tonight because there is a fundamental flaw in the logic of creating pacenotes which I hadn't thought of until tonight. Currently pacenotes are being read at a distance which they were created at but if they are created after the corner, etc. then they will be read after the corner, etc. I am working on a fix Stay tuned.
