Hotlap Checker

Post by majortom »

Many links to old tools. Here is one new :)

This tool is helpfull for checking the results of a Hotlap Competition.

You can get a quick overview in less than 5 minutes.

Hotlapcheck120.zip

The tool was tested in many hotlaps on PlanetGeneRally and works good.
Nevertheless you are allowed to check some drivers manually ;)

Read the read_me.txt and test it with round_test or ask here.

Usefull? I work on a similar tool for Race Competitions.

Very impressive tool. I miss one button there - back (contrary to next) to return to details of previous driver.

Btw when I try to use the testing files for analysis, it reports me ''gamefile corrupt'' in case of your gamfile, why, please?

I also had the idea with the back button. Will try...

In the majortom directory are two SaveGames for testing (normaly there should be only one)
One savegame was made with the right track and the other with a manipulated track.
It shows, whether my tool can detect this. Delete/rename the first and the tool works with the good one.

There is a checksum in every savegame to link it with the correct track. I can't find a wrong
Track-Savegame pair directly, because I don't know the algorithm for the checksum .
But I can compare the checksums out of all savegames. They might be all the same or sonething is wrong!

It's a 1.2c problem, you are going to need an alternative save game reader.
