RAH iRacing Overlay

iRacing Input Telemetry Overlay is an open-source Python-based project that provides real-time telemetry from iRacing, displaying input data both through a web interface so you can put it on programs like OBS or screen overlay for using it on your game.

I just didn't wanted to pay for some overlays subcriptions to have the overlay that I actually wanted, so why not trying? I hope you feel the same, this is free of course ;)

Compilation

You can compile your own modified version, or make use of the precompiled one you can find on releases of this repo.

Prerequisites

Before compiling, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.10+: Ensure you have Python installed. You can download it from here.
• iRacing SDK: Install iRacing for telemetry data here.
• Requirements file: You will find a requirements.txt file on the repo for you to get all the libraries.

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/RaulArcos/rah-iracing-overlay.git
cd iracing-input-telemetry-overlay

2. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Compile into an EXE file

python3.10.exe (or your version) build_exe.py

Usage

Just open the .exe file like a normal windows program, you will be welcomed by an easy interace to open any of the overlays, as well as modify its position or opening it on their web version to get the link for OBS.

Windows Security: Unblocking DLL Files

If you encounter errors related to Python.Runtime.dll or other DLL files failing to load, it might be due to Windows blocking these files after being downloaded from another computer. It is always better to build your own version, but if you don't know or simply don't want to, you will have to do this.

Steps to Unblock DLLs:

1. Navigate to the .dll files, e.g.:

   • \RAH_Telemetry_Overlay_0.2.1_internal\pythonnet\runtime\Python.Runtime.dll
   • all .dll files in \RAH_Telemetry_Overlay_0.2.1_internal\webview\lib\

2. Right-click each .dll file and select Properties.

3. In the General tab, check the "Unblock" checkbox at the bottom (if it’s visible).

4. Click OK.

This is needed because Windows may block DLL files that come from another computer, causing the program to fail to load them properly.
