Spotter 1.2.1

Login or Register an account to download this content
- 32-bit and 64-bit compatible
- change to the slow/stopped algorithms to make the app shut up when you're in the pits
Update notes:
- switched from winsound to pyfmodex audio library
-- support for more audio encodings (PCM, mp3, Vorbis, etc.)
-- added volume control in app
- switched audio to play even when app is hidden (to allow it to work on Oculus Rift)

This update was prompted by rafffel on the AC forums - he wrote an audio notifications app for use with the Oculus Rift, and pointed out the ways the Spotter app is inadequate for that, so I've improved it. No real functionality changes, just better support for the Rift. Although in the library switch, the way multiple notifications (eg. "car right, car on both sides, car left" as you drive past 3 cars) are sent may have changed slightly since the new one plays back a different way.

If you want to turn the audio notifications off, you'll need to set the volume to 0, or disable specific types of notification within the app configuration screen.

You can download alternative audio sets over on the AC forums - http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/spotter-v1-0-released.10308/ - there are several that have been recorded now.

1.0 mostly just has everything working that was planned. I haven't yet decided what other spotter routines to implement.
Fixing some bugs that made it unreliable on restarts, race weekends, etc.

Modified 'slow'/'stop' code so it says if they're to the left or right of the track (if it's "ahead" then they're going to be on your racing line)

Added 'clear' notification, though so far it's only in the 'Wattie' audio.

Added 'font size' adjustment. Will be more in that vein soon.

0.3 zip was missing some files, if you had 0.2 you've already got them.

You can now select audio/text options from ingame, as well as a couple minor settings on how the app displays. Other bugfixes in when messages are displayed too.

Second sound set thanks to Radfahrer over on the AC forums.
