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