torcs-devel Mailing List for TORCS - The Open Racing Car Simulator

Hi All,

A new rc5/rc6 version of TORCS is available,
I created RPMs for Mandrake 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 distros.
Redhat will follow soon.

The major enhancement of this new version is the
make / make install process and the RPMs.

make no longer install the libraries.

The counterpart is that /usr/local/lib should
be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable,
or you can use the /usr/local/bin/torcs script
to run TORCS (the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is updated here).

A note to the developers, the Makefiles have to be
changed a little for the robots.

For the RPMs, the Mesa-common rpm should be installed
and OpenGL too (Mesa or NVidia drivers).

you can find the files here:

http://torcs.org/tmp

I hope there won't be too much problems so I can 
release the 1.0.0 before Christmas ;-)

Have fun,
Eric.

Yes I'm aware of that look in the FAQs:
The french version:

http://torcs.sourceforge.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=3&categories=Compilation%2Finstallation

the english one:

http://torcs.sourceforge.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=4&categories=Compil%2FInstall

Didn't find a solution to that problem...

All those errors are from code 'imported' in TORCS.

I'll look at this one...

OK found the problem, a file is missing... sorry, I'll correct that ASAP.

You can remove the following lines in the Makefile:
src/modules/graphic/ssggraph/Makefile

>>>>>>>> remove
DATADIR   = config

DATA      = graph.xml
<<<<<<<<


Thanks.
Eric.

Hi,

The missing file is here:

http://torcs.sourceforge.net/tmp/graph.xml

you should put the file here

src/modules/graphic/ssggraph

and then compile and install.

Sorry for that,
Don't forget to test the TV director view (F11)
during races.

Eric.

The debug mode is activated with

./configure --enable-debug

Then rebuild all:

make clean && make && make install


But before that you can look in the 'trace.txt' file in case there is an error logged.

I have tried and I am unable to start a race.
What I do:

./configure
make
make install
cd /usr/local/games/torcs
./torcs

The compilation is fine. Just 4/5 warnings.
When I start torcs, the welcome screen works well. Not font problem
anymore.
When I go in Quickrace/Race, I see
...
Loading Simulation Engine...
Loading Graphics Engine...

Then it hangs, no error message and so on.
I tried to deselect a lot of drivers, bu the problem still appeared.
I have Suse 7.2, XFree 4.0.x and the graphics driver from NVidia.

Marc

Ps: I have no idea how you debug torcs ? Also I miss the reason
    why the source structure is not the same as the runtime one ?
    If you can explain me how to do, I will try to debug.

Hi All,

As I am waiting for Bernhard to submit a new version
of his Berniw robots ;-) I am preparing the 1.0.0
In order to release it before Christmas I'd like to
let you test the rc2 version available here:
http://torcs.org/tmp/torcs-1.0.0-rc2.tar.bz2

The changelog with the 1.0.0-pre7 is on the home page.
Let me know if you find any problems...

Thanks,
Eric.
