A new home for all your setups

[jsydave]

Loving the look of this, and it might be useful to know it nearly works perfectly on a mobile size tablet (Nexus 7).

Only one wrinkle was that in Chrome to register I had to request the Desktop Site, but then Untick the Desktop Site box to use it properly. Will post my F.C setup later because I love it.

I really love this!

Happy you like it! =)

Right now though, if you click the info on the cars when choosing one, it displays weight and torque in metric. Will we be able to switch these to imperial?

Not something I had planned to support, but but it is definitely doable. I have a lot of other, high-priority issues/features I want to get through first though, but I will put it on the list =).

Also on the top we have Setups by car and Setups by user, can we have Setups by track and Setups by class?

By track, no - you have tags for that =). Pick the car you want to drive, search for tracks with the freetext search in the setup drawer - if the car has any setups.
Something similar to by class is in the works right now. I am looking into implementing filtering on the bycar and editcreate pages. By default it will show all brands with all cars under each brand, but it will also list all categories (Road, GT, Prototype, etc). Pick a category and the brands will go away and reveal all cars that match that primary category. You will be able to pick a car and go to its setups then, or you will be able to pick a sub-category (Road A, Road B, Road C, GTE, GT3, GT4, etc), further filtering down the list of cars available.

One can hope =). I have heard SMS are working on a file-based solution to setups. I have openly invited them on the WMD forum to have a chat so we can see if it is realistic to load setup files into the website and inversely for the website to output files that the game can consume. It's still a pipe dream for now, but there is all the willingness in the world on my side to make it work. They just need to hit me with it and an integration will happen, if I have the power to do so - at least for PC. I have no idea how it would work on consoles (I don't own any). The willingness to make it work regardless is there, though =).

Yes, I know the PC version uses XML files with the setups, so I already thought the game could implement APIs from Dropbox, Box or similar file-storage free clouds, and once user gives the auth, it simply loads from there... Perhaps even console versions could profit from a similar thing. If that is feasible, your site could export to Dropbox and co...

But hey man, amazing initiative! The initial steps of the 1st Facebook of car setups!

That is a great idea.. Thanks for that.. Looks great as far as I have seen..

That's news to me, where would these be?

Not sure where you got that - setups are currently stored in the user's binary profile. The whole need for this site stems from the fact that setups are inaccessible. In order to get to them, I would basically have to hack the profile.

Really? I just assumed that based on Jack Spades XML files. I remember seeing somewhere instructions to copy that into some game folder. Perhaps that only worked on the beta versions? Are those solely for FFB settings?
If is not possible, than I take it all of, and sorry for assuming what I have no clue about! I go back to my poor console!

Great work.
I will post some tunes.
Thanks matte

The xml stuff you see flying around with Jack Spade's name on it are ffb tweakers =). Nothing to do with setups, other than the fact that once you use a tweaker, the ingame sliders for per-car ffb stop working. The ffb tweakers are indeed xml files that you drop somewhere in the game folder, and then the game picks them up and uses them. I'm pretty sure they work on a per-car ffb level - and yeah, they definitely still work with the current version of the game =)

thx for the clarification dude! and sorry for telling BS before about car setup XML :-)
