One small observation: the log is currently 12.1 MB. Is it really necessary to gather all that info?
Just curious.
Thanks for the update!

Cheers

Ah, I see, this library is build around "logger".
Whiler, if you want help adjusting it, just ask. I can even write new functions or classes.

Too many smart people around here. I already feel dumb...

Oh, well, just a suggestion then:
is it possible that this window loses it "always on top" attribute, when the game is paused?
and another one, if we're at it

are global keyboard shortcuts possible? it would be interesting to have one, to flip through various screens

I start the game and load my profile... then I exit the application:
My game.log.txt is 49KB...
If I remove my plugin, there's only 4 lines less...
So, I guess, you have specific flags setup somewhere to gather more infos in your logs? if true, which ones, so I can investigate...
Moreover, 12.1 MB is always this size or is it increasing when you play longer?

So, you confirm that the Logitech setup is not anymore needed?

How can you say that?

Thanks a lot!!!!
Your Delphi lib is so great! The only time I needed to modify it, was few days ago, to add the 1.9.x version of game as a supported one, which is the only difference I found between SDK 1.1 & 1.2.
Otherwise, I haven't find a way to get the ingame time... as this is not a telemetry data, I understand, this data is definitely not avaible from the SDK provided byt SCS.

Good idea! I'll do it

(When the roadsign "Pause" is displayed, the window will not be Always on top...)

ohaha wrote:are global keyboard shortcuts possible? it would be interesting to have one, to flip through various screens

I already tried to implement it... but failed

The logitech keyboards special keys (the ones from the LCD display) events are triggered but I failed to catch the regulars ones...
As I don't remember which Windows API functions I tested, I'll retry... all I remember is that I didn't implement a real keyboard hook because I want to keep only one DLL, and I prefer to keep it simple...
Sniper, if you know how to do it, help is welcome!

Ok, I finally manage to get them...
Now, I have to implement the needed behavior

New version soon....

It's not cooperating if I uninstall Logitech Gaming Software.
This time I caught the message

Whiler · #47 Post by **Whiler** » 05 Apr 2014 12:31

Ok, thanks.. I investigate

Done...

New version available:

Maybe, this time, the logitech dll is not anymore required (if anyone can confirm if it's ok or not... sry for this boring test)
Window on a second monitor is Stay on top except if game is paused
Check if a new plugin version is available
You can switch the display options using regular keyboards keys:
- Numpad 1: Speed, RPM, Lights, ...
- Numpad 2: Compass, ...
- Numpad 3: Speed only
- Numpad 0: K/h or GPS Coords (depending on the current display)
- Numpad decimal separator: Mph or No GPS
- Numpad +: Main screen (the one behind the game)

If default keys don't suit you, you can edit the plugin ini file: %APPDATA%\Whiler\wETS2G19Display\wETS2G19Display.ini
Be carefull when editing this file, you can esaillly crash the plugin with wrong values! If you are lost, delete it and it will be recreated with default values.

In the section [Keys]:

you can disable all the keys if you set Enabled=0
you can disable a specific key if set the value to 0
to know which value you have to use for a specific key, you can check this webpage.

Speed only= [ external image ]
RpM= [ external image ]
Compass= [ external image ]
Screen= [ external image ]
KpH= [ external image ] or [ external image ]
MpH= [ external image ] or [ external image ]

You have to relaunch the game to reload any updated value.

Did you already uploaded it to that location?
Which version is this one, 3.2?

Sorry for asking, but I don't see those features... Or, maybe, I'm doin' somethin' wrong..

ohaha · #50 Post by **ohaha** » 05 Apr 2014 16:15

Sorry, my bad.
It's working. I just had to actually enter the game to activate the features. And the "always on top" toggle.

Thank you! You are a god!
