With the use of Marcel Offermans Rejoin Plugin for races with rFactor(2), a known from rF(2) generated race result file is no longer available. The reason for that is just simple. Races with the Rejoin Plugin will be held in a rF(2) practice session. But the generated xml files of these sessions contain only laptimes but no race scoring. The Rejoin Plugin logs all race scoring data in a serverlog record file. But it is only a text file, who cannot be used by the SLS league system or other tools like rFactor report to generated a suitable graphic result. Therefor is a xml file needed. But what now...

An idea occurred to me. Why not using the data from the rF(2) practice session.xml and of the serverlog record.txt to create out of both a xml file, which is constructed like a rF(2) race session file. And that's exaclty what the raceXMLcreator does. It generates first a result out of the data from the serverlog record.txt. If the race was interrupted and restarts were made, it builds first a standing for each part of the race and asssempling after that the individual parts into a over-all standing. Except of the laptimes, nearly all data (server and session infos, vehilce classes etc.) of the rF(2) practice session.xml are used. All data together will then written into a new readable xml race result file.

And that's how the GUI of the raceXMLcreator looks like. But this tool does not only generate a xml file. It can also create optionally this visible *.html scoring. The raceXMLcreator was developed as a standalone executable with MATLAB.
