The WebHUD Thread (Outdated)

UMC 22 · May 13, 2019

Note: The information in this thread is somewhat outdated, since only one of the HUDs listed below is actively supported. This is likely because it is by far the best of the bunch so no other HUDs are really needed! For further information, please see the OtterHUD thread instead.

--------------------------------------------------

I thought I'd make a dedicated thread to keep track of the various HUD versions which are popping up since the patch. Getting them up and running is very simple, just follow the instructions below. If you would like your own HUD listed here, just post a link in this thread and I'll add it to the OP. (WebHUD only please, not other apps.)

To use the HUDs, do the following:

Download and Extract dash.zip somewhere on you PC.
Run dash.exe.
Add one of the HUDs as a startup argument to R3E in it's Steam settings. (See below)
Start the game and enjoy your new HUD.

Note: If you use CrewChief, it now includes it's own version of dash.exe so you do not need to run it separately. Simply enable the option found in CC's settings, show below:

Be aware that the WebHUDs allow you to customise the size, position and visibility of the various widgets, so your HUD doesn't have to look exactly as the examples in the pics/videos!

S3 Default WebHUD - Link

This is the default WebHUD provided by S3. Contains numerous widgets though only basic tyre temperature displays.

Code:

-webdev -webHudUrl=https://sector3studios.github.io/webhud/dist/

OtterHUD - Link

This is probably the best WebHUD currently available, and has by far the longest list of features which are far too numerous to list here. To name just a few, it has inner/middle/outer tyre temperatures and tyre pressure, a fuel use display and fuel calculator, a visual pit limiter activation indicator, an improved relative distance widget, an improved delta widget, and much, much more.

Code:

-webdev -webHudUrl=https://otterhud.github.io/

R3E Fusion HUD - Link

This HUD is similar in functionality to the S3 HUD, but has a different visual style.

Code:

-webdev -webHudUrl=https://scouthud.github.io/fusion/

Zeroforce Racing HUD - Link

This HUD is very customisable by the user in it's design and colour scheme, unlike other WebHUDs. To use it you will need to install it rather than adding a start up parameter. Download the installer from the link above.

Updated with the latest additions to the OtterNas WebHUD: inner/middle/outer tyre temperatures and tyre pressure, auto-hide function to the proximity radar, a visual pit limiter activation indicator, an improved relative distance widget, and an improved delta widget.

Downloaded it but it says only looking for R3E ... nothing happens

UMC 22 · Sep 13, 2019

Make sure you follow the instructions in full. You need to edit the game's launch options in order to make the WebHUDs work. (Right-click game in Steam, Properties, Set Launch Options.)

For OtterHUD you need to add:

Code:

-webdev -webHudUrl=https://otterhud.github.io/

Something is wrong whole game crashes, wont even start. I installed the zero HUD via exe

Dux · Sep 13, 2019

Okay something very strange is going on, I have uninstalled the game so I can reinstall it because it crashes and wont load anymore, now I cannot find it even in my steam library. Its like someone stole the game from me completely once I run that exe from zero hud

This is normal, because R3E is a free game. It doesn't get added to your library for some reason, but you can reinstall it by going to it's Steam store page.

Hi @ all,
I hope you can help me with an issue. Everytime when I try to start the dash.exe I get the following error message

I searched in many forums but I could not find any soltuion to solve the problem. I have also tried to use to start the hud via crew chief, but then I get in game the massage, that I have to download the dash.zip ...

Thank you for your help in advance

Did you do step 3 from post #1, as it follows:
Add one of the HUDs as a startup argument to R3E in it's Steam settings.

I am using CrewChief and starting from there it works without issues. But I forgot first time to update Steam settings.

EloMaster · May 27, 2020

Hi Sasha,

Yes I added the command line in the startup line

When I add this line I get the information at the top left site ingame, that I have to download the dash.zip.

It seems that Crew Chief is also not able to start the dash.exe. But in this case I get no error message and in the console from CC is also nothing written.

UMC 22 · May 27, 2020

Note that you have to enable WebHUD integration in Crew Chief, it's not turned on by default. Once enabled, you do not need to have a separate Dash.exe installed because it's integrated in CC.

EloMaster · May 27, 2020

Hi Goffik,

When I tried to use Crew Chief, I have enabled the web hud in the properties. I have no idea what I can do else. I also deinstalled the crew chief and startted the dash.exe but I got the the same error message.

UMC 22 · May 27, 2020

I just noticed you're attempting to use the example HUD made by S3. That HUD isn't very good and may even not be hosted anymore, since there is much, much better version available... OtterHUD. Try putting this into your R3E launch options instead:

Code:

-webdev -webHudUrl=https://otterhud.github.io/

Let us know if it works.

EloMaster · May 27, 2020

I tested the code which you have send to me, but without succsess:

I enabled the WebHud in the Crew Chief app:

I copied the code in the launch of the R3E:

In game I receiveid the following message:

Something goes wrong but I can't find the mistake

UMC 22 · May 27, 2020

Indeed, that has me stumped... you seem to have it all set up correctly. One last thing... you have Crew Chief set to RaceRoom in the game menu, and you have clicked the Start Application button, right? I'm not trying to be condescending here, I'm literally just out of ideas so am grasping at straws.

EloMaster · May 28, 2020

Yes, I have RaceRoom activated in the Crew Chief App and I have also started the App. Nevertheless thank you for your help. In my opinion, the problem is the error message, which comes from the dash.exe. It seems that someting is missing but I don't know how I can solve the problem.

Someone from the Sector3 Formum had the same probleme in the past. But he never got an answer or a solution. I have also started a request at this forum but no answer until now.

There are probably certain redistributables missing.

Hi have installed Otterhud and works perfect, but how do i get to see the Otterhud screen you have posted here as a .png with all the info and inputs?
