Index
The Gear Indicator Dll (GIDll) is a "proxy" dll, that allows to send
OutGauge
packets from any DirectX 9 application. Currently only Richard Burns Rally
(RBR) is tested and supported. The client application can be any application,
that receives
OutGauge
packets. I tested only my
Gear Indicator (GI), tough.
NEW: Shift light is supported, look into gidll_config.txt. Also
RPM, speed, engine temperature and turbo values are filled correctly in the OutGauge
packet (not useful for GI, but maybe for other apps). The original turbo value
from RBR is divided by 100,000, which corresponds Pascal to BAR conversion.
I have no idea, if it's correct, the value varies approximately from 1.1 to
2.1.
Extract
GIDll.zip to your RBR folder. Set the same IP address and port in
gidll_config.txt in the RBR folder and GI's (or other app's) config.txt.
Your RBR must be patched to the version 1.02.
Run the client application (e.g. GI.exe) before RBR. See
Gear Indicator page
for details.
Currently reporting the gear number, shift light, rpm, speed, engine
temperature and turbo values are supported
only. It's incompatible with
another d3d9 mods at the moment (e.g. Analogue Gauges mod by Racer_S). I'll
support it in the next release.
Binaries -- Windows 9x, XP, 2000, Vista (untested)
