Hi.
This is my small app for AC that I have developed recently as a chance to learn some Python programming. What it does is comparing three setups for currently chosen track/car configuration.
It shows what changes have been made in comparison to selected setup. There are other programms like Content Manager and maybe some others that allow to adjust and somewhat compare
car setups but as far as I know there are no apps allowing it directly in game (maybe haven't searched enough). The aim is to simply point out what changes have been made in case you have forgotten what you have recently tested (happened to me several times, especially after returning to subject after some time). There is no setups editing possible.
It has some limitations:
-drop-down list control provided by Kunos Python API seems to be broken and therefore I had to create my own implementation of drop-down lists. They display sorted (by modification time) setup files for active car/track.
-couldn't figure out how to translate selected gear slider value into specific gear ratio/max gear speed so for gears, app shows just the slider value. Should be enough to figure out what was changed though,
-there seems to be no default setup files available (at least not directly available as a txt file) so to have some default base for comparison, user needs to save default settings under name "Default" for each car/track of interest.
Installation manual:
1.Unpack archive to apps folder (usually something like: C:\ProgramFiles\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\apps\python)
2.Configure app from Content Manager or open CSC.ini file for editing in text editor and do it manually:
-change "path_to_setups=C:\Users\John\Documents\Assetto Corsa\setups" so that it points to your setups directory (if not set properly, app will try to deduce correct path automaticaly)
-set in-game resolution by editing (tested only on single screen setup):
game_width_res = 1920
game_height_res = 1080
-if you feel that elements/fonts are too small/big, you can play with scale_factor parameter.
-save file.
3.Enable app in game (Options->General->UI Modules) or in Content Manager.
App manual:
1.Select files for comparison and click COMPARE
2.By default files are compared to previous one. You can select "Compare with first" checkbox to compare against the first file.
3.In case you have meanwhile saved/modified/deleted a setup file, press REFRESH to reload the setups (and automatically compare).
4.Use PREV/NEXT buttons to scroll the differences (if do no fit into window).
5.If you change setup selection after comparison, it will turn red, indicating that it requires comparison to be remade.
If somebody finds this app usefull, then great, if not, I can live with that
Note: App opens setup files for reading only so it should not cause any damage, however I do not take any responsibility for potential user's setup files' damage.
