This project is a basic local server for the Riff Racer game. Since the servers of the game have been shut down, it is now impossible to create and play new tracks even if you wish to play in single player - thus a server implementation is necessary.
- Python 3.6+
- Flask
(Or Docker)
Patch ParseOctane.dll to use RiffApi Local changing "https://parseapi.back4app.com" with "http://127.000000000.0.1:5144".
You can do so with sed (sed -i "s/https:\/\/parseapi.back4app.com/http:\/\/127.000000000.0.1:5144/g" ParseOctane.dll), a hex editor, or by simply using the website.
There are multiple ways to run the server:
-
Run with Python (recommended)
- Install Python 3.6+.
- Install Flask with
pip install Flask. - Run
riffapi-local.py.
-
Run with Docker.
- Install Docker.
- Run with
docker compose up --build.
Important: keep the command prompt open until you exit the game.
A more advanced online server with historic data is available at riffapi.hobune.stream. This server implementation here is for those wishing to run their own local server or in case the hobune server ever goes down.
