Hi All

I added GLUT_ALPHA to the glutInitDisplayMode in screen.cpp for the 
track map creation, perhaps that is the reason (although even my ancient 
hardware supports that, greetings from my PCI TNT...)? What system are 
you running?

- OS?
- Graphics board and memory?
- Graphics driver?
- What color depth are you using?

bye, Bernhard.

Hi,

When starting Torcs version 1.2.2 GLUT complains:
>   GLUT: Fatal Error in torcs-bin: visual with necessary
>      capabilities not found.

Using Freeglut I get a different error, but looking at
the Freeglut sources it basically means the same thing.
> torcs-bin: freeglut_window.c:408: fgOpenWindow: Assertion
>    `window->Window.VisualInfo != ((void *)0)' failed.

Torcs 1.2.1 works fine. What should I do to get 1.2.2 running?

Cheers,
Ronald

The last line remembers me some problem, because of the "tls" in the 
path. Sorry for being that unspecific but I think to remember a 
relationship between "tls", "nvidia" and "driver" (if I remember right 
it has something to do with the libc threading implementation):-)

Perhaps you will get a hint if you google for "tls nvidia" or "tls 
nvidia problem"? Do other 3D applications work (eg. bzflag or 
glxgears?). If the other applications work, look up with ldd if they 
also link to the "tls" version or if they link to another libc (do you 
have also a libc.so.6 in /lib and not just in /lib/tls)?

bye, have fun, Bernhard.

That is normal and necessary, think of changing the track surface and 
other properties, so you want to be able to have very different segment 
lengths.

Bye, have fun, bernhard.

Hi,

	I continue developing my robot and have another question. I've
had a problem with my car in a track. It did strange things, so
debugging I saw that segment 115 on e-track-1 has a length of 157
meters while the other curves are of about 8 meters. So, my question is:
is this a mistake or should I consider it normal and check it?

Thanks,

Why don't you simply build using:
./configure
make
make install

I fixed the compile of 1.2.0 with a one line patch to the spec file.

Thanks Eric - at your suggestion I downloaded
TORCS-1.2.2-src-tools.tgz
TORCS-1.2.2-src.tgz

(but because I don't have broadband I did not get the data, robots or
tracks)

and now I am hacking at the spec file to get it build 1.2.2 with the
old data and hope that the framerate improves.

Wish me well!

Sentiments,
David

Try the current development version on http://torcs.free.fr
this part have been rewritten (the function GfRlstAddLast doesn't
exists anymore).

Hi ziberpunk

> 	I'm developing a robot for torcs and I'm with the graphic part. I'm not very keen on this so perhaps I'm asking silly things :). I'd like to know if there's a nascar texture in xcf format instead of rgb. It'd be also very helpful if somebody has a template for pit's logo in xcf format just with grey borders.

In the bt robot downloads is a nascar xcf included up from robot 
tutorial chapter 6 (not a brilliant one, but give it a try). An xcf pit 
logo is not available, but that is very easy to do, look in robot 
tutorial chapter 6, all "pixel" constraints are explained. With gimp you 
can click into the "rulers" and drag out a "helper" line (x,y position 
is displayed in the lower left status bar), on which you can "snap" 
later operations, so it is very easy to set up the layout.

bye, have fun, Bernhard.

Hi,

	I'm developing a robot for torcs and I'm with the graphic part. I'm not very keen on this so perhaps I'm asking silly things :). I'd like to know if there's a nascar texture in xcf format instead of rgb. It'd be also very helpful if somebody has a template for pit's logo in xcf format just with grey borders.

	Thanks,

I successfully compiled torcs-1.2.1 under rh9 after downgrading
glut-3.7-12 to glut-3.7-8 (and corresponding glut-devel), but when
trying to run it, I get a Segmentation fault:

I hope someone familiar with building the freeglut package that comes
in the SuSE 8.2 source rpm is reading this list.

Here are the last few lines of output 

config.status: executing depfiles commands
+ sed s,-lglut,/usr/src/packages/BUILD/torcs-1.2.0/freeglut/freeglut/freeglut/freeglut/freeglut-1.3/.libs/libfreeglut-1.3.a, Make-config
sed: can't read Make-config: No such file or directory
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.61152 (%build)

from

/usr/src/packages/SPECS # rpm -bb -vv torcs.spec

I am building the stock src.rpm torcs-1.2.0rc2-14.src.rpm downloaded
from ftp.suse.com, on a stock SuSE 8.2 Professional  (I cannot find
source rpms on my CDs - maybe they are hiding out on the DVDs - so I
downloaded it)

I don't know which part of the package should generate Make-config,
but there is no such file in the freeglut portion of the rpm build
tree.  (Only
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/torcs-1.2.0/freeglut/freeglut/Make-config.new
which is empty.)  Can anyone guess what I did wrong?
