Hello GT Planet!
I am a java newbie who likes to write a program for the GTP community. Back when GT PSP came out, GTP user bowie made an event generator for GT PSP. I thought it was a great tool, so I decided I would remake it in Java for GT5. Right now it is still ugly and not complete but I will release it nevertheless so you guys can point out errors and suggest new features.
You need the Java Runtime Environment installed to run this
Okay, what does this program do:
-It chooses a random track (no rally tracks for now)
-It chooses a maximum tyre compound
- It chooses constraints. The following constraints are included: Maxmimum bhp, weight, drivetrain, cartype (race,road,concept,tuner),performancepoints,country,manufacturer,decade and combinations of two of the former.
- It suggests cars, that are able to partake in the generated event (this function is limited to premium cars. This may change in the near future)
- If there are no premium cars that you can use for the event, it generates a new event.

This is an example of what the program does when the start.bat is executed:

"1
Car must be Concept type
Maximum Bhp: 300
Maximum tyres: Sports Soft
Kart Space II

Cars able to enter the race:
BMW 135tii Concept '07
Daihatsu OFC-1 Concept '07
Isuzu 4200R Concept '89
Toyota FT-86 Concept '09
Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept '10"

What I plan to do with it in the near future:
-Implement a graphical user Interface, so it becomes more user friendly
-Option to include offroad tracks
-Option to exclude DLC Content
-Option to enter a range of laps for generated events
-Triple Constraints maybe
-Include Standard car in the carchecker

So go ahead and try and and please feel free to post criticism and suggestions

Is this for online races only? Sadly, we have no way of choosing our opponents in Arcade or GT Life.
 
Yeah unfortunately you will not be able to choose your opponents offline. You can use this for online races or, as me and a friend use it, for time trials. We generate random events and see who can get the best time.
 
Yeah for me it is, since I live in an area without a decent internet connection. Since I am not able to race online, this is the best I can do :)
Oh and sometime i feel like doing arcade races. In this case, this tool decides what race i will do
 
I must add: great job on the program. I hope people use it, OR maybe PD will see it and get a clue. Nice work.

As for arcade- you can get some good races. Just setup the race to have racing tires equipped, then when you get to the race-screen, change your tires to sports or comfort and through trial-and-error you can get a pretty good matchup going between you and the A.I.

You're not missing much online, unless you enjoy watching all of your opponents frantically jump around on the screen like quantum particles. : /
 
Thank you! Yeah i always wished PD would add an event generator with proper oppponents and XP payout (Its hard to reach LV40 offline).
Cool,I did not know about that arcade tyre change thing. That should really make things interesting. I´ll try that as soon as I´m home again.
Few years back I used to be an active online racer (played Live for Speed) and sometimes I miss being online. Public servers usually suck but I would love to race in an organised competition again :)
