R3E Dashboards and In-Game widgets

Stefan Mizzi submitted a new resource:

R3E Web Dashboards - R3E Web Dashboards

Hi I have developed a simple web dashboard for myself and thought of sharing it with you. Not sure if you'll find it useful as unless you have an extra monitor, tablet or mobile, this wont be of much use.

But anyways, this web dashboard can be access from any of your devices as long as it is on the same WIFI or you are using your external IP.

Requirements:
Windows and .NET 4..5

Install:
See attached file to this post

Thanks for this Stefan, works great for me. Any chance you could do a selectable screen just showing the tyre info only? Big tyre display with wear, temps etc and laps to go? Be really appreciated.

regards
Andy

Sure thing @Andy Jackson . But would you be able to maybe show me what you need? maybe you can cut and paste images from the current widgets and put them in one?

or maybe some quick image what you need

You're welcome Andy

There is the "Remaining time" widget which indicates the time remaining for the session to end. Not sure if this is what you mean.

Also note that now you can create your own dashboards from the available widgets. This is found in menu "Create Custom Dashboard". I'll post a video when I can to show how this works and I'm also improving it, like choosing background, text color etc.

1. Go to http://dash.proracing.club/ and launch dashbaord

2. Go to "Create Custom Dashboard"

3. Choose the widget/s you want by just clicking on them

4. Move the widgets to the place you want them to be and resize the black background by grabbing the bottom right corner to the size you want. Put a name to your widget and Save it. Now you have it in the list too and in "My Custom Widgets" Dashboard or open it from "My Custom Dashboard"

Thats it, thanks Stefan. I missed that bit. Cheers for all your hard work.

Stefan Mizzi updated R3E Dashboards and In-Game widgets with a new update entry:

ProRacing Dashboard v1.5.9.6

IMPORTANT: DELETE ALL FILES OF YOUR CURRENT VERSION BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS!

I have realized that the last version here was quite old and thus not working properly with the latest web updates...

So I uploaded the latest version here. With this version, you will get auto updates alerts and thus wont need to worry about keeping the app up to date yourself.

The update logs can be checked here:

Hi Jay,

Could it be you had a previous older version installed and maybe was not removed before installing this one?

Cheers
Stefan

JayJayRaceinho · Nov 4, 2015

hey stefan..nope, first time install ....i guess

... really can't recon if i've downloaded and installed it once for an other game, but that must've been years ago. any registry leftovers you mean?!

Folder was new ,tried to delete it and install new and update/repair all my microsoft-stuff like msxml, vb and such, but always the same error.

btw: tried to uninstall via ccleaner and it says the file or path doesn't exist but it's installed@default C:\Program Files (x86)\ProRacing Dashboard Installer

bot no uninstall.exe, just a uninstall.ini....maybe the installer is faulty?!

Stefan Mizzi · Nov 4, 2015

Hmm, I see. Nobody reported this before and I also installed it myself here and tried it but could not get the error.

Do you mind if I send you a special install which contains more error logging and you try it?

Thanks!

great, works with this version

just gave it a short try .... the widgets i placed where i wanted them, ticked the auto-startup and autostart-widgets in menu, but closing all widgets plus the .exe and restarting the .exe, the widgets don't appear again (fullscreen was set to off).

and my taskmanager was full of some cefSharp.Browsersubprocess.exe though the .exe is closed.

those finished dashboard layouts look cool, but they are only for the browser?

Thanks for testing it, so I managed to find the bug then. The in-game widgets were more of an experiment really as they do not really work very well within the games. People not very keen to use them as they might affect your FPS so I did not really give them much importance. You mean dont show with the game open or closed? Maybe they were hidden? Also, of listener not started or game not started they will be almost invisible....they are a bit tricky to use.

Yes, the layouts are designed to work in any browser on any device. So you can use the dashboard on your mobile, table or pc screen. You can also design a dashboard and open it into a widget and like this it because a windows app.

Cheers
Stefan

yep, they were hidden. in the video it looked cool, that's how i wanted them on every startup....basically stuff, that are basics for a sim

but ok, i understand, i'll give that dashboard-option a try. thx

I mean, the widgets still work as long as the listener and game are started. So not exactly sure why they did not work...

JayJayRaceinho · Nov 7, 2015

....k, i managed to do a own dashboard as widget with your new .9.8. version.

the widget-startup doesn't work (still), the game is opened, i launch the .exe and the listener starts, the widget gets loaded, but is invisible, with no data.

while editing i could not save a custom dashboard-widget, with an embedded "blue fuel-logo", your main programm says "widget could not be retreived". the same thing, if i change the size or color of the speed/gear widgets. otherwise leaving those stuff@default size/color, my edited dashboard-widget works (but only as manual loading).
The speedo widgets do not work at all, they have no data.

i created a dashboard-widget that i place@right sidebar, could this position be remembered?!!?
