RASCAR: Hey Eldred

Here's an example of the output generated by D2League (using the results file from last weekend's Richmond race). http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar/test12.html It takes an html template defined by the user, and extracts data from the results file generated by the sim. The user-defined template is basically a HTML page that contains "data tags" which are key words that D2League recognizes and associates with data in the original results file. I've always felt that the results files generated by papy sims look kinda clunky, and seem to scroll forever. I came up with an example template that compresses everything into a more attractive and compressed format. There's still stuff left to do for actual league admins, but for our use, I think it's almost far enough along for you to use if you want to. -- ========================================================= DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 RASCAR Roster http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john Barbarian Diecast Collector (460+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

That page look pretty good John, much better than the original... A few bits: - would be nice to see who lead laps / most laps etc. - would be even nicer to see # of posistions lost / gained compared to qual. - some bonus points seem to be missing... but the points-bit isnt important imho - you could just aswell remove it and replace it with any of the above... -- ed_ "John Simmons" said: > Here's an example of the output generated by D2League (using the results > file from last weekend's Richmond race). > > http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar/test12.html

If both fields (start/finish positions) are included on the page, would it really be necessary to do the math and use up addition horizontal space? > - some bonus points seem to be missing... but the points-bit isnt important > imho - you could just aswell remove it and replace it with any of the > above... Actually, this program uses a points file to deterine points awards, and the settings in the file for LapsLed and MostLapsLed were both 0, so no bonus points were awarded. However, the use of a points file allows you to determine how races are scored, and the program comes with Nascar and Formula 1 points files. You can also create your own. :) The points file allows points for finishing position (up to 43 positions), and bonus points to be added for: laps led most laps led most positions gained fastest qual fastest practice time fastest warmup time and penalty points for: speeding entering pits speeding exiting pits unsafe pit exit wreckless driving These are the things that the sim can detect and report on, so I allow points to be specified for them.
