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

Hi all,

I have added in CVS some race rules to the race engine.
The rules are concerning the pit lane:

- exceeding the speed limit in the pit lane will be
   punished by a "drive through" to be done within
   the 5 next laps.

- entering or exiting the pit lane elsewhere than
   the normal pit entry and exit will recieve a
   "stop and go" to be done within the 5 next laps.

- if the penalty is not "cleared" within the allowed laps,
   the car will be eliminated.

This concerns only the "pro" mode drivers.

The car structure is modified to manage this feature, and
the current robots (running in semi-pro mode) are
not to be modified (only recompiled).

car->_penaltyList : is a (GF_TAILQ) list of the current penalties
                     of the car.

Each penalty is defined as follow:

#define RM_PENALTY_DRIVETHROUGH	1
#define RM_PENALTY_STOPANDGO	2

/** One penalty */
typedef struct CarPenalty
{
     int penalty;	/**< penalty type */
     int lapToClear;	/**< the lap before the penalty has to be cleared */
     GF_TAILQ_ENTRY(struct CarPenalty) link;
} tCarPenalty;

to access to the first penalty:

tCarPenalty penalty = GF_TAILQ_FIRST(&(car->_penaltyList));

IMPORTANT: Penalties have to be cleared in the order of the list.

The pit command was modified too to manage the "stop and go":

/** Command issued by the car during pit stop */
typedef struct
{
     tdble		fuel;
     int			repair;
#define RM_PIT_REPAIR		0
#define RM_PIT_STOPANDGO	1
     int			stopType;
} tCarPitCmd;
#define _pitFuel	pitcmd.fuel
#define _pitRepair	pitcmd.repair
#define _pitStopType	pitcmd.stopType

so to declare a pit stop as a "stop and go":

car->_pitStopType = RM_PIT_STOPANDGO;


Normally, the robots should not be concerned as they drive
according to the rules.

The player's interface have been enhanced to have
a "speed limiter" command, and a "stop and go" mode
in the pit screen.

Have fun,
Eric.

Ok, I understand now. The tags are very old, because
I have not done an official release since several monthes.

It is better for CVS users to get le latest version of
the main trunk.

BTW, recent sources snapshot are available on <torcs.free.fr>

Bye,
Eric.

Hi,

the pre4 release provides a lot of new cars (especially my favorit the
renault alpine a110 :)) and I will make a complete set of debian
packages for this release until tomorrow. 
But before I am able to finish the car packages i need to know the
following informations:
What are the copyright conditions of this car? 
Is there anywhere a copyright text?
Whats the real name of the author(s)?

Thanks,
Gernot

Well, I think it's a tag problem. I had updated both stable and unstable
branches (tags 1-2-0-maint and r1-3-x), but acording to the link above,
fix was only committed for HEAD tag.

Hi,

??? I don't understand, the current CVS version have:
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/torcs/torcs/torcs/src/drivers/K1999/K1999.cpp?rev=1.9&view=auto>

#if defined(__GNUC__) && __GNUC__ > 2
#include <strstream>
#else
#include <strstream.h>
#endif // __GNUC__

and

#ifndef WIN32
  std::ostrstream os(szSettings, sizeof(szSettings));
  os << "drivers/K1999/" << index << "/settings.xml" << ends;
#else
  sprintf(szSettings, "drivers/K1999/%d/settings.xml", index);
#endif

so it should compile with gcc 3.3.2

Hi,
	I've tried compiling torcs from CVS it fails K1999 robot with
GCC 3.3.2. It's a silly problem due to the newer versions of GCC. It
happens with both stable and unstable branches of CVS. This is the diff:

ziberpunk@gentoo K1999 $ diff K1999.cpp.old K1999.cpp
