It is possible to write a DLL that receives data from the simulated car in realtime.
Example source code can be downloaded at http://www.worldracingseries.net/?page=downloads
Please note that all function calls are blocking, so control should be returned to simulation as soon as possible to avoid framerate issues.
The DLL must be compiled for 64 bit.
The plugin must have the file extension renamed to DLO and it must be copied to the "wrs/plugins" directory in World Racing Series installation folder.
NOTE: a license is not needed to add plugins.

@Piboso: in SPluginsCarData_t, what are the materials that correspond to m_aiWheelMaterial ?
0 = not in contact, but the others ?
MaX.

An inconsistency I've found (maybe limited to the comments:
In SPluginsCarSession_t definition we have:
int m_iSession; /* testing: always 0. Race: 0 = waiting; 1 = practice; 2 = qualify; 3 = warmup; 4 = race */
While in SPluginsRaceSession_t we have:
int m_iSession; /* testing: always 0. Race: 0 = waiting; 1 = practice; 2 = qualify; 3 = pre-final; 4 = final */
Tempted to say it's just a comment bug (and the 1st comment is the correct of the two). Right ?
MaX.

The first comment is the correct one.

I've spotted another strange behaviour:
RaceVehicleData is called both while on track and during replays (yeah baby !), but the passed data is OK while on track but not OK during replays (not even the car number is set properly).
MaX.

What data do you get?

What data do you get?
- iRaceNum seems always zero (instead of proper car number).
- iGear seems always zero.
- The other seems OK (tested with 1 car only, so ...).
They are both fine when
RaceVehicleData is called "on track".
Another weirdness (already discussed here (http://forum.kartracing-pro.com/index.php?topic=5477.0) for KRP):
In
SPluginsRaceEvent_t we have:
int m_iType; /* 0 = testing; 1 = race */But it seems that while testing, iType is at 1 (which agrees with your comment in KRP forum, i.e. "testing -> 1; race -> 2; challenge -> 4").
MaX.
Damn, I figured out most of it.
I was using a
saved replay. Loading it from the main menu, without ever going to track leads to two issues:
- No calls to EventInit and TrackCenterline
- The data passed to RaceVehicleData is wrong/incompleted (as reported above)

Had a quick look (I'm on vacation for a week), it seems exactly what was needed, thanks.

The only change is the addition of m_fTrackPos to SPluginsRaceTrackPosition_t
Since this structure was probably still unused, no changes have been made to version checking, to preserve compatibility.
Makes sense. Thx for adding m_fTrackPos, it will be useful !

Thanks. Any special logic with the invalid lap indicator ? 0 = valid, anything else = invalid ?
Also, I think before the laptime was zero (or negative) for invalid laps: has this changed ?

During testing and practice sessions, an invalid lap is still reset to zero.
During races, invalid laps are marked with m_iInvalid set to 1.

During quali too I guess, right ?

So you will have a positive m_iLapTime (not zeroed out) but m_iInvalid set to 1 ?
And will the invalid lap count in the race ? I mean, I've done 4 laps, 6 to go. If my 5th lap is invalid, do I still have 6 laps to go ?
Also how does one triggers an invalid lap in a race ? Missing a checkpoint ?

Yes.
Yes, it will count for the race, but a time penalty will be added.

Yes, missing a checkpoint.
The lap is not registered at all if a split or the speedtrap are missed.
Thanks a lot for the infos !
