2008-12-03 snapshot

[jlv]

Changes:
- New command line option: --hidden-hud
- Race timing info now saved in results.txt after race.

Windows users: http://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mx-2008-12-03.exe
Linux users: http://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mxbin-2008-12-03

Replace mx.exe or mxbin with one of the above files. I'd keep a backup of the originals since these aren't well tested.

You will also need to put this file in your install folder:

(This hasn't changed since the 2008-11-26 version.)

I've also written a python script to parse results.txt and output a lap chart. You can get that here:

wow another update... awesome job JLV.
1 thing... today is the 4th of december not the 3rd. Anyway it is here in aus

[gordy]

yeah but we are only just east of the international date line, and they are only just to the west, so we are like 14 hours ahead of their east coast

damn you are pumping out these updates lately jlv, you are a coding machine.
keep up the awesome work, its well appreciated

[yomo]

I thought USA was 12 hours behind... so like 1:30 in the morning... obviously not. Anyway doesn't matter just an awesome job by JLV

THANK YOU!!!! We can call this the Phathry25 update, lol.

Whats the format of the date in the results.txt? date=1228360550 Seems like jibberish to me. Local time was 9:16ish on 12/3/2008.

[jlv]

It's the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970.

I just did a muck around with a bot @ rostarn
JLV can you explain what the numbers below "6" means?

Sorry if this is a noob question, but where is the option to disable the HUD?

[Kawasakis]

Press right mouse button on mx sim shortcut and fill this --hidden-hud after mx.exe or something.. then save and try go to game

How would we execute that code for the python script? Here is what I have. I'm not sure if it's supposed to output it to a txt file or like an excel file or what.

Code: Select all

cd C:\Users\Davey\Documents\Mx Simulator\results.py
python results.py results.txt results.txt

6 is the number of timing gates the rider went through

Code: Select all

cd C:\Users\Davey\Documents\Mx Simulator\results.py
python results.py results.txt results.txt

The output is printed to the standard output which defaults to the console . To save it to a file redirect the console output like this (note the > symbol):

python lapchart.py results.txt >lapchart.txt

6 is the number of gates passed and it's followed by the times when the gates were hit. A time of -1 means the gate was bypassed.

Thank you so much jlv, that is simply amazing how that works. I'm easily amused also. This is gonna be so cool to look at after a race is done.

[Rallemx]

Probably the most retarded question ever..
but, whats HUD?
