This is a plugin for Richard Burns Rally that adds a countdown before the stage starts.

Big thanks to mika-n that made the NGPCarMenu plugin that this plugin is based on. If it wasn't for NGPCarMenu I would never have been able to make this plugin. Big huge shoutout!!

Please also see more credits here and here.

Download the latest version here: Download

To install, first find your RBR installation folder. Then, go to the Plugins folder. Open the zip file you downloaded and move all files there to the Plugins folder. That's it!!

In Plugins\RBRCountdown you will find a file called RBRCountdown.ini. In this file you will find the settings:

• Centered, True or False. If True the countdown will be centered on the screen.
• XOffset, Horizontal offset of the countdown. Only whole numbers. If Centered is True then the offset is from the center. Otherwise it is from the top left corner of the screen.
• YOffset, Same as XOffset but vertical. Up is negative.
• Scale, Scales the countdown. Decimal number.

In the Plugins folder, remove RBRCountdown.dll and the RBRCountdown folder.

If you build debug it will probably fail because it tries to copy the DLL to the RBR plugins folder. Check Build Events->Post-Build Events in the project settings. You also need the RBRCountdown folder in the Plugins folder. Copy it from the latest build is easiest. The textures are created from textures\countdown.psd by doing export layers to files, and textures\countdown-dot.psd by quick export PNG.
