A track information saver for Codemasters F1 2018 game for PC, XBOX, and Playstation

F1 does not provide information on their tracks so map creation is halted. With this the user will be able to easily create a map and easily use the M_worldPosition elements to position themself on the created map!

F1_trackSaver is Written in Go and Utilizes Redis and MySQL

• Features
• Requirements
• Installation
• Usage

• Saves track information from F1
• Optimizes for usage as a map, in this case for F1_GO
• Splits map into sectors and turns for easy refrencing
• Uses fatih/color to pretty output to the command line

• Some version of go so you know, stuff actually works
• Redigo, a Go client for the Redis database. Make sure this is up and running before starting F1_trackSaver
• Go-MySQL-Driver, A MySQL-Driver for Go's database/sql package
• Color, a ANSI color package to output colorized or SGR defined output to the standard output.

Simple install the package to your $GOPATH with the go tool from shell:

$ go get -u github.com/crocotelementry/F1_trackSaver

Make sure Git is installed on your machine and in your system's PATH.

Until we find a way to have our requirements including in the F1_trackSaver package, We will also need to install four more items into your go path.

redigo:

$ go get github.com/gomodule/redigo/redis

go-sql-driver:

$ go get -u github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql

Color

$ go get github.com/fatih/color

F1_trackSaver is ran by running the main executable. Some features that are critical to F1_trackSaver's usability are able to be ran from the terminal window in which you start F1_trackSaver, but it is not recommended. Before starting F1_trackSaver, make sure your Redis database is up and running, if it isn't, start it before starting F1_trackSaver.

To check if your Redis database is up and running:

$ redis-cli ping

If this returns PONG like below, then continue to starting F1_trackSaver:

$ redis-cli ping
PONG

If it does not return PONG, then start up your Redis database:

$ redis-server

To run F1_trackSaver:

go run *.go
