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

Hi all

I have not update torcs since version 1.2.3 and yesterday i download and
install the latest 1.3.1.
Its amazing, a big improvement. Congratulations to all contributors.
After few hours of fun with the new version, i dig the old code to
isolate some modifications that i have done in order to have a more
complex and nicer instrument panel, and merge them to the new code.
I attached the modified files in case someone find them useful.

Hi all,

I discovered a problem in the current release candidate with the build system 
for Linux.

Steps to reproduce:
We want to build a robot with the name foo with exactly one source file: 
foo.cpp.
Make a directory src/drivers/foo and src/drivers/foo/compile. Put foo.cpp in 
src/drivers/foo and the Makefile which should compile it in 
src/drivers/foo/compile. The SOURCES variable in that Makefile is 
thus ../foo.cpp. Go to src/drivers/foo/compile and try to compile it. You see 
the robot is compiled correctly.

Expected result:
The robot also is linked correctly

Actual result:
A linking error occures: can't find file ../foo.o

Problem:
foo.cpp is compiled, but the object is in src/drivers/foo/compile/foo.o, and 
during linking it expects it to be in src/drivers/foo/foo.o.

Possible solution:
Make sure gcc puts the object in the right place by adding a -o $@ option to 
gcc. A patch doing this is attached.

Actual occurence:
Although this problem looks very theoretical, it can occur if the robot 
developer would use the same code for more then one robot. It then uses 
src/drivers/foo to place the code and src/drivers/foo/foo_trb1 and 
src/drivers/foo/foo_trb2 to produce the robots. This way, it is not 
neccesairy to compile everything twice: only linking have to be done twice.

I need to model truck into torcs, with the following characteristics:
Weight 29 tonnes
Length 12.2 meters
Width 2.6 meters
Height 4.4 meters
Tires with diameter of 2095cm
The gears and time to achieve each
1st. - From 0 to 05 km / h 10 seconds
2nd. - From 05 to 10 km / h 15 seconds
3rd. - From 10 to 20 km / h 15 seconds
4th. - From 20 to 35 km / h 25 seconds
5th. - From 35 to 45 km / h 40 seconds
6th. - From 45 to 60 km / h 50 seconds
7th. - From 60 to 75 km / h From 50 to 60 seconds
8th. - From 70 to 85 km / h From 50 to 60 seconds

Used a model of the car and changes made to reach those speeds, but the
truck is no speed in slope.
The marches were thus:

I need help to complete it.

Hi,

      I have downloaded TORCS binaries TORCS-x.y.z-win32.zip.
   I opened it into VC++ and down following things:


   1. Unzip the source archives
   2. IMPORTANT: run setup_win32.bat
   3. Open The TORCS.dsw with VC++6.0
   4. Select the TORCS project and the w32-Release version.





   5.View->Properties
      tab size = 8
      Indent size = 4
   6.Tools->Options (Tab)
      tab size = 8
      Indent size = 4

            except 5 step i done all and when i compile it then i am getting
linking error.

            i.e.:

        --------------------Configuration: tgf - Win32
Release--------------------
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "txml.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

TORCS - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
