x4fab

0.8.765.15608

Sorry for the lack of promised features, I suddenly got another small project, but it won’t take long.

Some themes properties has changed (now, backgrounds should finally work properly, but custom themes might require an update);
Custom themes can define animated background;
Server presets management is closer to being finished (but, please, don’t use it yet seriously, it’s not really tested);
RHM integration fixed and improved;
Now, service won’t be unloaded immediately, but instead will live for a minute; might be changed with --rhm-keep-alive=<TIME> argument, for example, --rhm-keep-alive=10:00 for ten minutes.
Layout of livery icon editor fixed;
Stats fixed.

x4fab

0.8.773.15862

Again, sorry for the delay, I’m going to complete that small project soon.

New much better, fast and reliable approach for drawing images (still might need some adjustments later);
New Content/Cars layout (thanks to Topuz for help!);
Just in case, you can switch to the old layout in settings.
Sounds origin detection;
Sidekick integration (CM will update its tyres/brackes information database on the race start; optionally, enabled by default);
New “Most Used” tab in Profile category;
Stats fixed, storing system improved (now, loading, writing and filtering work much faster and can handle much more of session entries; in a test, it handled 180000 sessions quite well);
Content tab: scroll saving;
Cars/tracks selection lists: filters history, scroll saving;
Power/torque graphs drawing fixed;
Power/torque graphs rebuilding improved (nothing much, but now, if only power nor torque missing, CM will be able to update both of curves anyway);
Turbo calculation fixed: now WASTEGATE=0 actually disables wastegate;
Tracks filtering fixed;
Scroll control improved;
In Lite Showroom, textures always will be automatically updated from now on, that “Skin editing mode” checkbox now is only for Photoshop/GIMP files reading;
Servers presets management: button for creating a new preset.

x4fab

0.8.775.15865

Couple of bugfixes.

x4fab

0.8.777.15872

Sidekick integration improved.
Now, non-Kunos cars’ details will be written in separate files instead; Kunos cars’ details won’t be changed unless user changes it in Settings.

x4fab

0.8.779.15882

Sidekick integration bugfix;
Couple of new flame-related diagnostics offering to fix the problem (obsolete flames, missing textures).
Please, keep in mind that those fixes will change data, thus making checksum checks to fail in the future unless server uses the same fixed data. If you want to update flames to the new version, small “hack”: remove files from textures/flames, try to start a race, and when CM will tell you about obsolete flames after AC crashes, press “Fix It”. I’ll add proper UI and some ahead-diagnosing tool later.

x4fab

0.8.786.16177

New Content/Tools tab;
New Migration Helper tool (still beta, be careful);
New Replace Tyres tool (again, still beta);
Updated Content/Cars layout;
Set it wider and list of skins will expand to a multi-line one.
REMOTE/SERVER_NAME in race.ini is always updated now;
Bugfixes;
UI fixes.

x4fab

0.8.789.16184

Power curves calculation bug added in 0.8.773 is fixed now;
Sorry about it, I’m afraid now you have to re-calculate those curves for cars with turbos.
Data packing (used, for example, in Server section) fixed.

x4fab

0.8.794.16200

Max power/torque recalculation fixed;
Now, when specifying “only with” or “not available with” for apps’ configs, you can use condition operators such as “and”, “or”, “not” or even braces and specify full path to option as well.
For example: “only with "autolooping" and sidekick/loopfifthsection or loopthirdsection or not config.ini/Sidekick/showrpmbar”;
New operators for filtering: “≥”, “≤”;
Small UI fixes.
