RF2 VCR Replay Format Wiki



This wiki describe the VCR file format (replay files) of the rFactor 2 game.

Note: Side to this wiki, i develop a set of tools, rF2 Replay Office , to work with Replay file.

VCR file compression
A VCR file can be compressed or not (depending your configuration in the player.JSON file). By convinience, from now, when a talk about the VCR file it will be the uncompressed file (The uncompressed binary Vcr file format).

File Format
The replay file format is designed in several part: Each part is concatenated after the previous one. Please follow each link to see the bytes structure of each part.
 * Header
 * Replay Content Descriptor
 * Driver List
 * Events
 * Starting Lights
 * Camera
 * Driver data (Location)
 * Rank
 * Checkpoint
 * Go To Garage

IMPORTANT: As the replay format evolve, you will see in a column the version where a new structure appear and when a structure have changed (when nothing is specified, it is because i always see this since my first rF2 replay decoding work.
