It was reading that wiki that gave me an headache!
I found it a couple of weeks ago while looking for documentation. Friday I'll probably publish a small update to add a new function to the merge feature, I hope you'll like it.

Stripe76 updated Virtual Steward with a new update entry:

That's because I save the window size on exit, if you keep it maximized I save a too large size, I'll try and fix that as soon as possibile, in the meanwhile you can just unmaximize before exit to avoid that.
Edit: actually I believe you could do that just one time: resize to a small window and exit to save the smaller size.

hm, there are so many ways to make this app useful. Especially as it could automated "moderate" a server where ppl want to have some nice proper races.For sure its more "worthy" a "ai-commite" to moderate/administrate a server in a fair way- unlike kissmyrank stuff etc,....
But there is the one big thing:
Either u play on some kind of "clan server" where u can do proper racing, (that more feels like "work" then just enjoying a nice racing evening - then it would be a nice "toy" as these servers are already administrated in most cases by real persons-
or u go public to just enjoy some spontan smooth racing.
So in case N0. 1 the tool is more like "assisting" the already administrated races.
And in Case N0. 2, where i would something like this really appreciate, it will never workout, because of "community" from assetto corsa.
And thats the big thing.
For example to make really use of sth like your tool -
groups like "Krerritas", "Euro-Racers" etc must group up and share/do this together or it will never workout.
Years and years ago, "we" (a group of administrative and addicted people) did sth similar in Half-Life/Cs stuff (esl sports leagues, publics etc) and we had to group into several commitees, to then rewatch for example the vids and judge, if s.o. is wallhacking or whatever.
Kinda Tool like yours would been great, saving so much time etc.... we also where in contact with valves VAC group as u only could watch s.o. wallhacking with a wallhack yourself hm? ^^
But this was only possible because of "us" - different communities- grouping up . And with a little DB-sharing tool i wrote with a good friend, this worked out.
Your tool could be the "ai moderated solution."
And still would not work out though:
Community is all.
In ac i' ve not really seen an existing community at all.
More like Red dead Redemption online - very toxic because of the lack of administrative possibilities (YET!).
Might change. But everywhere i look at (the "bigger commuitys ), they kinda invite these ppl on their servers. With CSP Version 1.78. Perfectly good for the toxic ones in every way.
So...much of text...^^
But your tool coud be so useful...like "rating" the incidents, flagging them, caching/ SHARING the rates/flags to a central db.......with newer csp versions then u could force steam auth etc...
Booom!
But....i mean....well....^^
Its a pitty - such a great game. Like RDR online. But such a bad / non existing community.

oh, btw, i might give u some creative input:
U work with videos...kind of...so:
In HL/CS its similar - i wrote a script, that let a "hlTV" client connect to any server u are online (or u cose via ip) and the HLTV then connected there like a client- in spectator mode.
So in short words "my people" just pressed "F12", the scrit started, in mst cases the tool then just connected to your location, named itself some name and was for u as player just like anyone else, in spec mode/afk/whatsoever.
But actually u could focus it on a player, record an ddirectly stream the recrd on a central host,
So...your tool...like a bagback.
Data Miner ultimate.
@Edit: i mean...ac/csp already gives u these options? The game engine gives u full access to let a tool connect like a player...that just ..."records"...telemetry etc..all tha shiaht u gain from the game engine....
In my case, it was the ultimate data mining tool.
And u didnt even need people that make use of it- as it uses "itself"...
AI!

Yes, I agree that AC communities are small, sparse and kinda closed. As I said I'm a casual racer and playing in pubblic lobbies like your mentioned Kerritas is often infuriating (although I also have a lot of fun) but Virtual Steward cannot solve the "zombies" problem, so it's useless for them. I was thinking more about WSS and LFM, but I can see why they are reluctant implementing a post race replay analysis for what would be a minimal improvement in SR accuracy, against a probably rich number of people complaining about unfaireness.
I guess we'll just enjoy the merge feature which is becoming quite interesting.

Well, working on VS made me finally pull the trigger on another long delayed project, but this will take probably a year just to get to the alpha stage, if I don't give in earlier.
So, honestly VS will probably soon enter the maintenance phase, with bug fixing and little more. As you said, is a matter of interest.

Different theme, sorry.
I'm willing to work with anybody that is interested in improving things but I won't spend time and energy trying to "sell" a free product, I'm too old for that
.By the way, I'm still not sure that the eventual SR improving with a system like that would be significant, I'm missing a large enough dataset to do meaningful testing.

---> And what coulkd change that? In specific words?
What do u mean with SR...?
I see two possible use for VS engine*, both with a post race replay analysis: the first one is using the incident evaluation to calculate the safety rating (SR) so as to minimise the situations in which a blatantly one sided incident gives a 50/50 penalty to involved players (for services like WSS and LFM).
The second possibile one is analysing the behaviour of every player, give it a score and then proceed to automatically ban for (1/7/30) days players depending on the score. This would be more targeted to servers like Krreritas' but you can see why it's dangerous: a failure and they could get hundreds of people banned.
BUT, before anyone put this online it must be tested, which means taking many, many replays, looking for incidents and seeing if the results are the expected ones, and this cannot be automated.
Second BUT: I don't think servers that run all day long actually save the replay files, they are just too big.
*As of now it's just a simple formula.
I meant that I would gladly work for free with anyone interested in implementing it online, but I'll not be the one trying to convince them doing it.
the second one. is the one hat makes a difference.
And yes- thats y Krerritas must Group up...with others ike euroracers&Co.
Whatever receipt u have- only works with community.
The servers dont have to run replays all day.
Just a half day or a quarter day. As also its kinda "half automated" for sure- there wont be a full automated solution ever...that cant and must not be.
Thats the 5% work, the damn commuinty has to do with its own hands...^^
I mean.....basically u "just need a driving lane + time stamp?" per player...?
(i know...just...in very easy words...)
And then u reproduce it somewhere in a graphical environment?
I am not in "the thing"...but just for dispute:
would u be able to connect your tool ike any other telemetry tool to a server?
Your tool does not analyze a video stream ya?
But "telemetrie - data" (sry, i am very NOT in this....)
So your actual Data mining is not this big spoken in KB/MB/GB..?
IF u(community) can get 1 of 10 shitbags a day....and automated share bans with oher groups,
soon shitbags will only be able to play with other shitbags on some shitbags servers.
Thats the way it works and thats the way u can make a difference- as shitbag always stay shitbags - but your tool gets more and more automated- less work then for u actually.
Still....i have this:
+
2 proliant g8/g9 root servers designed for multiiple virtual hosting in esxi(vmware) environments.......lately i had win11 installed....bitcomet...as me new VR i HAD TO get hands on some 8K porns......ahahahaha...hmja...
And its not about the 934 down...but the upload is, what makes this capable of really do serious working at my place.......
The servers are desgined to be fuly administrated remote......and i think the g9 runs atm with 256GB DDR4 smoot ram + tons of harddrive space.....
