[APP] Improved VehicleDebug APP

I noticed that this particular APP would be better if you could deflate each tire individually and/or both front/rear tires at the same time, so I did it



To install this, just drag and drop the contents of the .zip into: \alpha_prerace\html\apps\VehicleDebug and overwrite all files.



Enjoy

This app now comes with the game, just update the game to get it

 

Sweet mod We really need an apps sub-forum, I'll hit tdev up about that now..

 

Yeah, I wasn't sure where to post this.

 

This is what I've been hoping for. Thank you

 

I might give this a look....it seems a good App to work with I mean deflating all the tyres is fun but it lacks excitement....what about....you could reinflate the tyres after you have deflated them could you add that in to this App Davidbc?

 

Just what i came here to say.

 

Dumb question but how do I bring up debug things

 

I'm trying. I have to figure out exactly what the deflate function does so I can create a new function that would revert the changes and inflate the tires. I'm looking into it.

 

Just some ideas to improve the app:

You could make it dynamic by utilizing the wheelInfo and the torqueCurve streams,
torqueCurve to detect when the vehicle is changed, since it only updates when this happens,
wheelInfo to get the name of the wheels.

just add the strems to the list in your json and write a code similar to this:

Code:

VehicleDebug.prototype.update = function(streams){
    if(streams.torqueCurve!== undefined){ // <- car/engine changed
        // delete the old buttons
        for(var i = 0; i < streams.wheelInfo.length; i++){ // <- go through all the wheels
            var wheel  = streams.wheelInfo[i];
           // generate the buttons
        }
    }
};

^ Code above is untested an written without editor ^

 

So what exactly does that thing?

 

At the moment it does nothing at all, but it could be the start for dynamic buttons

It detects if the vehicle has changed and goes through all the wheels so you can add buttons for them.
Give me a few minutes, and i'll add the functionality

--------------------------------------------
EDIT: Done

Add this to the initialize function of the app.js:

Code:

this.dynamicButtonContainer = $('<div>TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST</div>').appendTo(this.rootElement);

Add this to the app.js:

Code:

VehicleDebug.prototype.update = function(streams){
    if(streams.torqueCurve!== undefined){ // <- car/engine changed
        console.log(this.dynamicButtonContainer);
        this.dynamicButtonContainer.empty(); // <- delete old Buttons

        var self = this;
        $.each(streams.wheelInfo, function(index, wheel) { // <- go through the wheels
             self.addDeflateButton(index, wheel[0]);
        });
    }
};

VehicleDebug.prototype.addDeflateButton = function(number, name){
    $('<button>Deflate Tire '+name+'</button>').appendTo(this.dynamicButtonContainer).click(function(){
        beamng.sendActiveObjectLua("beamstate.deflateTire("+number+")");
    });
};

Change line 17 in app.json to:

Code:

        "streams" : ["wheelInfo", "torqueCurve"]

 

Thanks for taking a look into it...I am sure there is an inverse function of the deflate command somewhere....

 

I actually stole your idea and added that functionality to the official app, hope that's ok

 

Yeah no problem

 

Could you expand the break points too make it so you can remove pieces of the bodywork one piece at a time or is that too much of a task to do?

 

The way it works I don't think so, but I still need to figure how everything works. Next week when I finish my exams.

 

Do that when you get back from your Exams and also good luck in them

 

i cant find where to drop these files for the mod to work. can someone help me please, thank you

 

install location is in the OP
