  • HydroSim v0.8.7.0

    With this release, I have created a new Dedicated Server Manager app to make it easier to run and manage dedicated servers. The app is availble on the HydroSim page in the Dedicated Server section, or the link below. It supports auto-updating HydroSim, managing server settings, rules, admin, chat without going in game. Also supports basic user authentication for remote management.

  • HydroSim v0.8.6.1 - SimHub support

    I have been working with the developers of SimHub to add support for HydroSim through the Shared Memory API. This update outputs more data through the telemetry message. The SimHub integration adds support for Bass Shakers, Motion Sim, Rumble motors, custom dashboard displays and output to various other hardware devices.

    Note: An official release of SimHub with HydroSim support will be available soon, shoot me a message on Discord if you want to try the beta.

    The Python SDK has been updated to work with the latest version of HydroSim. It can be updated/installed with pip install -U hydrosim_sdk.

    v0.8.6.1

    Fixed

    • Fixed Field of View camera setting.
    • Fixed issues when hosting or joining after a previous server join attempt failed.

    v0.8.6.0

    Fixed

    • Disabled boat reset when attached to dock.
    • Fixed Hot Reload Textures not working.
    • Fixed issue where results/standings list would erroneously display that boat textures were not downloaded.
    • Attempted to fix some issues causing the Shared Memory API to stop outputting data.
    • Fixed boat going onto trailer when entering course in VR (Oculus).
    • Fixed HUD positioning in VR, it is definitely not perfect.

    Added

    • Added ability to set the default onboard camera in General Settings.
    • Added ability to toggle the HUD in General Settings and hotkey (configurable, default F6).

    Updated

    • Fixed water lapping sound to only play when the boat is in the water.
    • Made some changes to the V8 engine sounds, removed one of the lower rpm clips that sounded a bit weird. Changed the spatializer settings and reduced reverb a bit.
    • Updated how impacts are calculated for audio and output via shared memory API for more accurate bass shaker and motion sim support.

  • RE: How do I make a dedicated server?

    @shumzzr Yes public IP for anyone outside of your router (connecting over the internet). If you have another computer on your router/LAN (in your house) you need to use the local IP.

  • HydroSim v0.8.5.3

    It's been a while, but I've been busy working on lots of stuff, the big ones are the shared memory API for plugins and discord integration. It's now possible to retrieve telemetry, timing, course data, etc from HydroSim. This opens up the ability to integrate with exotic hardware like motion sims or haptic feedback devices as well as 3rd party software that can pull in telemetry/timing data. It is also possible to create live timing, hotlap recording, and server manager software, which is all planned to be implemented.

    A python SDK for retrieving data and sending commands has been implemented and is availabe @ https://gitlab.com/hydrosim/shared-memory-api/hydrosim-sdk-python
    It can be installed with pip pip install hydrosim_sdk

    v0.8.5.3

    Fixed

    1. Fixed issues with loading the replay list and loading replays.
    2. Fixed issues with flat bottom buoys not showing up after changing courses on the server.
    3. Hopefully fixed a bug that would cause Shared Memory Data to stop.

    v0.8.5.2

    Fixed

    1. Fixed issue where all drivers would get disconnected when course was changed.
    2. Fixed issue when re-joining servers or switching between host/join where it would just get stuck at Synchronizing Buoys.
    3. Fixed session time display when joining server and session already ended.

    v0.8.5.1

    Fixed

    1. Fixed bug where some drivers weren't showing up in the race results on the server. I believe this was related to some other various issues that were popping up.
    2. Fixed gap distance calculations. The live lap speed also seems to be working better now.

    v0.8.5.0

    Added

    1. Shared Memory API
    2. Session transitions: sessions can now auto-transition to next session or restart.
    3. Added relative gaps driving aid display. This shows the distance of other boats relative to your boat. It also shows if the boat is to the left or right of you. Distance units can be toggled between feet and boat lengths in the Driving Aids settings.
    4. Added game credits.
    5. Can drive the boat and switch cameras in the main menu (why not?!)
    6. Added auto-reset buoys option for qualifying sessions.
    7. Added the session time remaining in the timing info HUD display.
    8. Added session transition countdown flag HUD.
    9. Added discord integration.
      a. Added Discord Rich Presence, the game will display rich presence status in discord.
      b. Added "Use Discord" toggle in the main menu to use your discord user ID/name/avatar when connecting to a game server.

    Fixed

    1. Enter key will now submit for most input fields.
    2. Fixed warbly doppler audio issues when in chopper/blimp cameras.
    3. All courses now report GPS bounds in metadata.
    4. Do not allow multiple clients to connect with the same Driver ID.
    5. Kick drivers earlier (before they get added to results list or server sends message that they connected) if handshake fails when connecting to server.

  • RE: Does hydrosim work with steamVR headsets?

    @chrisv Oh, I think you messaged me on discord.

    Currently the OpenXR implementation isn't working, I need to try and sort it out. Only the Oculus VR is working right now.
