You can now select audio/text options from ingame, as well as a couple minor settings on how the app displays. Other bugfixes in when messages are displayed too.

Second sound set thanks to Radfahrer over on the AC forums.

Bugs, bugs, bugs

Fixing some bugs that made it unreliable on restarts, race weekends, etc.

Modified 'slow'/'stop' code so it says if they're to the left or right of the track (if it's "ahead" then they're going to be on your racing line)

Added 'clear' notification, though so far it's only in the 'Wattie' audio.

Thx! really a good idea. dont have try it but i think its a good app.
better than the red arrows. would be good if it works like the spotter from iracing.

[John Oliver]

Stereo updated Spotter with a new update entry:

More things work, more modder friendly... 1.0

You can download alternative audio sets over on the AC forums - http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/spotter-v1-0-released.10308/ - there are several that have been recorded now.

1.0 mostly just has everything working that was planned. I haven't yet decided what other spotter routines to implement.

Has this app become unstable with later releases of AC?

I installed it - tested it and it worked great. the problem is when I use the lotus 98t on imola &,monza.
AC loads the track and the cars then it just closes back to gui.
have not tested it with all cars/tracks But it seems to work with the rest, just as an random test.

This happens if the app is installed but not used in the specific session, if I remove (Delete)
the app the problem is gone?

 

[mancSLO]

I think its not work now?

 

[MeMyselfAndI]

I think its not work now?

I have not tried it with latest AC 0.22.6 but Since 0.22 you have to go into options and enable in game apps.

 

[Lars Geraae]

How to activate it in game. Have tried like the description says, but not working ? Nothing in game apps ? What I'm doing wrong ?
EDIT!!:
Found the apps in options...silly me

I wonder if I would be able to replace the voice? I have recorded the parts again, but can't get it to work. I was hoping to make it a real person...any idea why it doesn't work? What do I have to do to fix it? I named the files the same, although yours are about half the size or less. Please help.

They need to be the basic WAV format (8 bit 44kHz stereo, like CD audio) for the sound library I used to play them, I think that's about it as long as the filenames match audio.ini. A few people on the Assetto Corsa support forum have successfully replaced the voice, for sure - there are packs in a few different languages.

Thanks for that speedy response. Is there a preference by the game for either Mono or Stereo files in order for this to work too? Thanks in advance!

 

[Stereo]

I haven't tested that, I just used clips other people provided & they were all stereo.

Had to render audio out in Audacity at specified rate and bit depth. Apparently Pro Tools version of 8bit 44.1KHz was far too high tech!

Stereo updated Spotter with a new update entry:

Volume + HMD fixes

Update notes:
- switched from winsound to pyfmodex audio library
-- support for more audio encodings (PCM, mp3, Vorbis, etc.)
-- added volume control in app
- switched audio to play even when app is hidden (to allow it to work on Oculus Rift)

This update was prompted by rafffel on the AC forums - he wrote an audio notifications app for use with the Oculus Rift, and pointed out the ways the Spotter app is inadequate for that, so I've improved it. No real functionality changes, just better...
