Welcome to the JSONio wiki!

This is my first GitHub Wiki foray... (editor IMO sucks)

• JSONio attempts a generic SimHub property manipulation user interface.
  • JSONio was provoked by a ShakeIt profile run amok (Any Game - JSONioLoadedSlipGrip.siprofile)
    • FWIW, that profile became so problematic that it was replaced by a plugin
  • Some ShakeIt CUSTOM EFFECTs merely Export Property values
    e.g. for other CUSTOM EFFECTs and Custom serial devices
• JSONio basically replaces ShakeIt CUSTOM EFFECTs which merely Export Property values,
  while adding a minimalist user interface.

Menu

• The JSONio menu is deliberately as simple (crude) as possible
  • a single list of properties: first per-car, then per-game, then global
    • first and second columns are property names and values for SimHub Available properties
      • e.g. Gscale becomes JSONio.Gscale property
    • third column PREVIOUS values are those from most recent car before CURRENT
      • SWAP ALL W/PREVIOUS button for quickly comparing effects of two property value sets
    • fourth column DEFAULT values get assigned to new cars in this game
      - except for global properties, default property values are per-game
      - after a .json file is generated, changing property values in .ini
      affects only new games
      - adding or moving property names in .ini
      applies corresponding .ini values to all cars and games
  • When switching cars or games, CURRENT per-car values are automagically saved and restored,
    • but switched-to CURRENT per-game and global values are set from DEFAULTs.
  • DEFAULT values are changed only by CURRENT->DEFAULT button and only for the selected (in Red) PROPERTY

Controls

• Six user interface buttons
  are also available as SimHub Action Targets:
  
  • this enables controlling JSONio e.g. from a SimHub dashboard or configured button box...
