Requirements

Python3 (https://www.python.org/downloads/)

Installation

• You can git clone or download the archive of the last version: https://github.com/vsrods/rf2_check_profiles/archive/master.zip

• Unzip in the folder you want

Configuration

config.json contains list of models and the list of user profiles to check vs models.

• Configure rFactor install dir in config part

  "config":{
  
    "rf2_install_dir": "C:\\perso\\rf2_dedi",

Models

Existing models

Existing models are available in model directory. You can edit them or create new models. Player and Multiplayer can be edited by this tool.

So each model consists of 2 files, suffixed by "-player.json" or "-multiplayer.json":

• <model_name>-player.json : if the model contains player.json parameters to check
• <model_name>-multiplayer.json : if the model contains multiplayer parameters to check

Assign models to server profile

To assign a model of configuration to a server profile, add the model name in the list for the profile.

    {
      "profile":"profile1",
      "models":["basics","vote_all","quali_public","pause_yes","pit_80"]
    },

Create new models

You can also define new models by creating models files in models directory:

1. Create model files in models directory, respecting the naming:

• <model_name>-player.json : if the model contains player.json parameters to check
• <model_name>-multiplayer.json : if the model contains multiplayer parameters to check

2. Edit models files content:

To edit the content, you can start from one of the examples.

3. Add the model in config.json in models part

  "models":{
  
      "<model_name>":{
      
        "files":["<model_name>-multiplayer.json"]
        
        }

In the above example, the model have to check only parameters contained in multiplayer file.

Another example from examples dir checking player.json and multiplayer.json file is:

  "models":{
  
     "basics":{
     
        "files":["basics-multiplayer.json","basics-player.json"]
        
        }

Assign models to profiles to check

• Add the user profiles to check in check_profiles part example, for player and champ1 profiles:

  "check_profiles":[
  
    {
    
      "profile":"player",
      
      "models":["basics","quali_private"]
      
    },
    
        {
        
      "profile":"champ1",
      
      "models":["basics","quali_public"]
      
    }
    
  ]
