It seems that your OpenGL driver does not have the same symbols
than the one used to compile.
If you are using Mesa you can try to upgrade to a more recent version.

Else you can try to compile the program from the sources, may be it'll
work better (your driver must support the ARB multitextures extensions
at least).

Hello.
I saw screenshots of Torcs and i wanted absolutly try playing with this game.
I have a Debian GNU/Linux Unstable and no problem of OpenGL, XVideo,.. on my 
graphic card with chipset Kyro (powervr drivers).
For exemple, tuxracer works fine.
I installed torcs with apt-get and my sources.list and i launch torcs...
No problem with the first screens but when i clic on "New Race", torcs crash 
and say :
linuxModLoad: ...  modules/graphic/ssggraph.so: undefined symbol: 
glActiveTexture
/usr/bin/torcs: line 50: 22817 Erreur de segmentation  ./torcs -l 
$LOCAL_CONF$*
How to resolve this ?
Thanks you.

Anything that involves the car leaving it's racing line is dangerous,
I've lost count of the number of times my robot's been forced into a
spin or the barrier by K1999. Certainly anything that avoids that
without compromising your race can only be good.
I'm currently working on something a bit similar, adjusting the amount
of fuel and damage repaired during a pitstop so as to make sure it gets
out ahead of as many cars as possible. Hopefully it should stop the car
getting stuck behind a slower one when it hasn't had enough time to open
up enough of a gap to make the stop and come out again in front. And
conversely, if it's got a bigger margin to the car behind than it needs
to stop then it can put more fuel in and repair more damage than it
otherwise would.

Considering how stable the berniws are when there's no other cars
around, slowing them down seems a bit pointless. ;) But certainly,
increasing the safety margins on the collision avoidance and overtaking
code so it's more careful around the other cars should be useful. Might
stop those last-lap accidents trying to lap other cars. :)
Come to think of it, you've actually given me an idea there. If the car
ahead of you is pulling away, and the car behind you is falling back,
during an endurance race you could change the car's driving style to
conserve fuel without losing too much pace.

That's normal for the moment, the accelerator only knows certain values
depending on the grip level, so when it's going around a corner it tries
to accelerate hard, then realises it's going too fast then brakes a bit
before accelerating again. It's not ideal, but doesn't seem to affect
the car too badly in low-grip situations so I've left it alone for the
moment. I did try a different method of doing it that was a lot
smoother, but on a couple of tracks it was over a second a lap slower
(except for some reason on Aalborg where it was 2.5 seconds faster) so I
took it off.
It's something I intend to try and sort out later, along with the
chronic understeer, complete lack of rear grip and mad sliding with the
buggy. :)

That'd be great, I think some kind of friendly competition might
motivate more people to try their hand at a robot.

I've seen that the McLaren is not accelerating constantly, the accelerator
command seems to flicker (tried on g-track-2).

I hope that there will be enough competitors soon to
try some championship.

It's very nice. What I plan to experiment with, is analysing the 
situation on the track, e. g. it could be reasonable to pit earlier to 
avoid a lot of overtaking (I still consider this as dangerous...) or to 
adapt the pace to the situation (e. g. if the car in front of you is 20s 
away and the one behind you is also 20s away there is no need anymore to 
hurry on the last few laps).

Bye, thank you

Bernhard.

Hi all,

Now you can run torcs with the option -s for single texture mode.
The possible HW detection can be added to the launch script.
I commited the modifs to CVS this morning.

Bye,
Eric.

i'd prefer an option in the config file, if it can't be autodetected 
from a pci bus listing [or otherwise].

we want to ship torcs 1.2.1 in gamepak 2 but if a default compile 
crashes on i810 or rage 128, that's going to require some sort of 
workaround.

just my two cents.

Could it be possible to make it an runtime option in the
graphics screen?

That would be great!

If anyone's interested, you can get it here:
http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~prbain/astigot.tar.bz2

Currently it's just a slightly tweaked version of Bernhard Wymann's
tutorial with some of the suggestions implemented. I've made a start on
a bit of strategy which seems to work reasonably well concerning pitting
to repair damage (it won't stop on the 3rd to last lap unless it REALLY
needs to :) ), and if it needs to make at least one stop for fuel during
the race then it divides the race into equal stints.
As far as pace is concerned, it's not vastly different to the tutorial
but it's enough so it drives a different race.

Enjoy, but don't expect miracles from it. :)

The samples are 8 bits and very low quality :-(
If someone has some samples (free of use) just let me know.

Got the latest Alsa packages and recompiled.  The sounds works now but 
the quality leaves a bit to be desired.  I don't know if it's the sample 
or my drivers at this point.  Also, if I move the mouse out of the 
window, the sound stops working.

Hi,

The sound is managed by PLIB, that's why the problems should be the same
with all the programs using PLIB for the sound.
I really don't know how to fix that.

Sorry,
Eric.

Hi all

for the interested people there are two robots available for download:

http://n.ethz.ch/student/hwymann/aboutme/publications/bt.tar.gz is just 
a little improved tutorial robot which features 10 (5 pairs) cars.

http://n.ethz.ch/student/hwymann/aboutme/publications/sparkle.tar.gz is 
the same robot code but drives a baja bug painted by my girl friend:-)

bye, have fun, bernhard.

Hello.  I've tried searching the net for information regarding this to 
no avail.  And I can't understand how such an incredible game has so 
little information on the net about it.

Anyway, I'm using Debian Sid, and I installed the Debian package.  The 
graphics work fine but I have no sound.

The error that I'm receiving is:
WARNING: slScheduler: Needs a sound card that supports 8 bits per sample.
bad path: /Engine  key: tickover

I'm using ALSA and my modules look like this:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0666

options snd-card-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id=CARD_0 
snd_pbk_frame_size=128 snd_c
ap_frame_size=128 snd_mic_frame_size=128

I saw that a few people using flight-gear are having the same problems. 
  Any idea and what I can do to fix this.  Is there a way to force ALSA 
insead of OSS maybe?

	Chris

Great,

This means that a "single texture" compilation option
could be added for the users of i810 and ATI 3D Rage LT Pro.

I'll look at it.

Thanks,
Eric.

That worked! The graphics look a bit different if I compare them
with other PC's, but at least our i810-users can race now!

Thanks Eric!

Cheers,

Hi,

try to modify the InitMultiTex function in
src/modules/graphic/ssggraph/grmain.cpp to force
maxTextureUnits to 1

bool InitMultiTex(void)
{
	maxTextureUnits = 1;
	return TRUE;
}

may be OpenGL is advertising about multitexture abilities and
it's not working ?

Hi,

Torcs runs great on ATI Radeon and i830, but it crashes on
i810 and ATI 3D Rage LT Pro when the track should show up.
Below are the backtraces. It crashes on i810BuildVertices (i810)
and mach64BuildVertices (ati) in Mesa.

Cheers,
Ronald
