docwilco / sptracker

An app suite for Assetto Corsa, focused on stats and setups

Introduction

This is the source code of ptracker and stracker (or in short: sptracker), an app suite for Assetto Corsa. The original author (NEYS) has stopped development and I've taken it upon myself to revitalize and improve this project.

Please respect the license as provided in [LICENSE.txt].

Before you start modifying

Quoting NEYS from the original README.txt:

I was hesitating for a long time to open up the source code for this. The main reason for this was the concern that there might be a lot of forks of ptracker and stracker with different network protocols and that not enought care will be taken to make the protocols backwards and forward compatible.

Now that I see, that my time for contributing to ptracker and stracker will be more limited than in the past, I think it is fair to open up the source code, so others might want to jump in and help.

I can just appeal to the coders to consider contributing to the project instead creating a fork. I'm willing to accept patches if they are mature enough to be integrated and integrate these patches into the mainstream project with the usual experimental/stable releases.

NEYS has since said on RaceDepartment.com:

feel free to use the project for whatever purpose you like, as long as you respect the license. I fear I have to say that I've stepped down from playing AC recently and due to that my interest in the AC mods went also down. If you want to take over the project I am open to reference the fork in the main page here on RD, such that users are guided to your page.

So I have setup a GitHub repo to work on this project, and allow others to easily collaborate. Feel free to file issues and do pull requests.

Getting started

create_release.py does most of the work of fetching and installing dependencies using virtualenv and pip, and building, but before running it, you need:

1. Windows
2. Assetto Corsa
3. Python 3.8+
4. virtualenv (see here for installation instructions)
5. Nullsoft Scriptable Install System 3.x
6. A linux environment (I use Ubuntu with WSL2, but a remote host also works)
7. A release_settings.py which you can make by copying and editing release_settings.py.in

Contacting the authors

The original author NEYS is contactable as user never_eat_yellow_snow1 at the Assetto Corsa forums or as user Neys at the RaceDepartment forums. You can contact the current maintainer (DocWilco) on GitHub.

sptracker's Issues

Help: What kind of information can be displayed in the lap details page charts?

I want to know if stracker tracks also telemetry, as it shows the speed chart for the lap i might store also information on throttle, brakes and gears.
If it stores this information it could be easy to show them?
Or should be done an improvement on both sides, ptracker and stracker?

arm32 build

Would be it be difficult to compile it for running on arm32 linux? specifically a raspberry 3 with raspbian os

Multiple server instances running on a machine conflicts on trying running multiple stracker.

Don't know if u know about this, but there is a project called server manager -> https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ac-server-manager.25683/
Right know they use the old version 3.5.1 of Neys.
As you are the guy trying to make an updated Stracker/Ptacker, i wanna inform you about a problem that maybe you are not concern about of Stracker.
Server manager can host multiple servers at the same time, with diferent ports and etc, but on the instalation of stracker, says :

"Listening port for incoming connections of ptracker. Must be one of 50042, 50043, 54242, 54243, 60023, 60024, 62323, 62324, 42423, 42424, 23232, 23233, +42; ptracker will try all these ports on the ac server's ip address (until a better solution is found...)"

Well the thing is they have multiple plugins runing on the server at the same time (Realpenalty, Kissmyrank, stracker), so is a complete chaos with the ports and etc.
Stracker has the option to relay port via proxy for other plugins. Maybe you can find a manner to have custom ports on stracker. Right now, i think the best way is to integrate ACSRelay inside Stracker as stracker is the main plugin all the servers have and usually run -> https://github.com/ihlades/ACSRelay/tree/master/ACSRelay/ACSRelay

Right now i'm a bit rusty compiling codes, and have no time to refresh my programing languages and etc, so if you wanna try any day a compiled beta version for linux or windows, let me know and i will try it. You can contact me via discord Juan José#2593 or via e-mail-> [email protected] , as this github acc is the one i for school but i'm not usually active here. I'm usually on Discord mostly. Hope to listen about you soon.
ty for your time
And thanks for reviving this project. ^^

Graphs not shown

I have built stracker for arm64 and everything looks fine except there is no graph displayed.
I think it might be because the track is a mod one?

There are javascript errors related to missing information for drawing lap position, map.

Is there any way to load custom maps or any other thing?

If you want to check out the behaviour I can send you a link to the server.
