you should have somewhere on your system a bad opengl driver.
the way to handle that is to edit the launch script located in
/usr/bin/torcs
then add "ldd" just before the binary execution.

the line:
./torcs -l $LOCAL_CONF $*
should be replaced by
ldd ./torcs -l $LOCAL_CONF $*

then launch torcs and you'll see all the libraries used.
there should be the bad opengl driver in the list.
when you've renamed or removed the faulty lib then try
again (but remove the "ldd" of the script before).

I'm not sure it'll work very well on 3dfx card as the zbuffer is
small.

I wasn't able to get this working, so I took a different approach. I
downloaded the RPMs for Red Hat 9, and installed those. Now the game
will start, but it looks for all the world like it's not using hardware
rendering. The config screens look OK, but when the game starts, the
first thing that happens is that the car is sideways against the wall
way down the track, then it hangs, then the car jumps way down the track
again, etc. The FPS is abysmal (below 1.0 FPS). So it really looks like
other 3D games have looked before I got hardware rendering to work
correctly. I have several Loki games (Descent3, Quake3, and Heavy Gear
II) and these all work fine. TuxRacer also works well. But Torcs does
not.

I have an old 3dfx (now defunct) Voodoo5 card. Is there something else I
need to get Torcs to work with this card? Aside from that, I have a
pretty standard Red Hat 9 out of the box installation.

BTW, I cannot find any such domain as "freeglut.org".

For the players, the initial fuel is computed automaticaly with the race
distance and the number of pit stops, I'll see how to get that more
configurable.

Currently the settings are the same for every type of race.

hello guys
i am using debian woody and nvidia riva tnt2
i recently installed torcs through apt-get,and it worked fine but
after i upgraded my libc6 from 2.2.5 to 2.3.2, i recieve the following 
problem

LinuxModLoad ... modules/graphic/ssgraph.so:  undefinedlinuxModLoad: ...  
modules/graphic/ssggraph.so: undefined symbol: glActiveTexture
/usr/bin/torcs: line 50:   515 Segmentation fault      ./torcs -l 
$LOCAL_CONF $*

i tried to install from torcs-source, but it also gave the same results.
so please somebody help me

thank you-linucer

Hi,

This is more related to the OpenGL driver than libc IMHO.
Try to run

$ torcs -s

to force single texture mode, the look is not very good,
but it works generally better.

Only the $home/.torcs/drivers/human/ path is used,
so you were right, create a $home/.torcs/drivers/human/tracks/michigan
directory and place a car-mclaren-f1.xml file in it.

This file is merged with the cars/mclaren-f1/mclaren-f1.xml
file. so check the min and max values to get the allowed range
for the different values.

bye,
Eric.

Hi..

I want to change my car settings (wings, gears, etc) for a specific race 
(specificaly, Michigan and mclaren-f1).. and i can't do it.

I found the car-torcs.xml and car-mclaren-f1.xml files at 
/usr/local/share/... and at $home/.torcs/drivers/human/
i tried changing this files (setting "initial fuel" to 2.0), at 
drivers/human and drivers/human/tracks/ but it doesn't work.  I tried 
with different tracks, but neither work.

For the specific Michigan case, there is no michigan directory at 
drivers/human/tracks, so i created it and created new car-torcs.xml and 
car-mclaren-f1.xml, but doesn't work.

Any help?

Thanks.

This need some development in the race engine to support open tracks,
I'm not sure that this will hit the top of my priority list soon :-(
But as it seems that a lot of people wants to contribute to the project :-)
may be someone will take that part ?

There are no documentation on the track format of TORCS, but I can answer
to the questions...

I don't remember seing that one ;-) It seems that the gl.h
have a different definition of the GLenum, mine shows:

typedef unsigned int    GLenum;

but, as the lines are:
	    if (glutGameModeGet(GLUT_GAME_MODE_POSSIBLE)) {
and
		if (glutGameModeGet(GLUT_GAME_MODE_DISPLAY_CHANGED)) {

I feel confident to say that you must have a glut.h problem.
may be your glut version is too old to have the glutGameModeGet definition ?

Try using freeglut <http://www.freeglut.org> for better results.

Well, Need for Speed and Gran Tourismo - is the two diffirient simulators. Tourismo - best for racing simulator.
When i first time played in torcs, i think that torcs is writen on Tourismo engine. It very good! Because Gran Tourismo - the best racing game for me.


Eric, do you want create something like "rally" style simulator? :)

Hi.

ok, i'm going inside the code, and i want to do some contributions...

I'm a little familiar with the format of tracks of Indy Car Racing 2 (my 
prefered but old sim), at least i can easily dump the data of "track 
sections" with its lenghts, widths, inclination, etc.  I thing that  we 
can easily convert some famous tracks to Torcs with these datas (i'm not 
considering the graphics..)

There is anyone working on this? anybody know another conversion process 
from other game? Are you interested in this subject?

Thanks.


PD: it's more easy than the physics, but it's for beginning...

Oh dear, here comes Toby again to carp about the physics... :-)

I still don't feel happy with the handling of the cars. Having gone out 
of my way to find a number of different simulators (from Gran Turismo 
and Need for Speed, along with Grand Prix Legends) I'm still struck by 
the handling of the Torcs cars in the corners under breaking and 
acceleration - it's just not quite what I feel is right... But feelings 
are one thing. Hard data is another. I started hacking...

I started dumping out information about the various variables in the sim 
engine (wheel ride height, etc.) to try and get a feel for the way the 
values flow. Things looked ok in general - the front of the car goes up 
under acceleration, and the front presses down during 
deceleration/braking. That leads me to believe that the car should 
understeer during acceleration. It should also oversteer/spin out under 
braking because of the increased traction on the front tyres while the 
rear tyres go "light" - its this oversteer/understeer behaviour that 
bugs me the most in Torcs. In Torcs, entering a corner on the brakes 
almost inevitably causes the vehicle to understeer. I've never managed 
to get a comfortable power slide out of the Torcs cars either.

One thing I immediately noticed with the ride height is that the cars 
are almost all underdamped in the suspension department. The cars start 
too high above the track, so the initial action of the car is to settle 
down onto its suspension. Counting the number of peaks before 
equilibrium, the cars bounce about 5 times before settling. Given that 
this should probably be no more than 2 to be realistic, the damping 
coefficient for the car suspension should probably be approximately 4-7 
times higher than the current values. Having tweaked a couple of cars to 
have more damping, the handling seems a little more consistent. A little 
less like driving a huge wallowing Buick and a bit more like handling a 
sports car on sports suspension :-) Without the extra damping, just 
changing gear causes the car to bounce several times on it's suspension 
which might account for some of the instability in the car's handling.

I then tried to analyse the tyres performance. I tried to get numbers 
for forward and lateral force for each tire but the numbers I got out 
made no sense - which makes me think that I had the wrong variables...? 
What variables should I be using to get these figures? I noticed the 
whole telemetry function set in the code base, but it seemed to dump the 
world :-)

Thanks,

Toby Haynes

No problem, if you can enhance the tire behaviour (and the physics also ;-) )
you're welcome. The tire temp and tearing are really missing from my point of
view.

the physics of cars into the track (tire temperature, etc) Is anyone 
worried about that? or it's a "minor important" feature? (i will like to 
"experiment" a bit :-) )

Thanks and congratulations again.

I downloaded TORCS 1.2 and attempted to build it. Configure went OK, but 
  after typing "make", this happens:

make[4]: Entering directory `/local/src/torcs-1.2.1/src/libs/tgf'

Anybody seen this and know of a fix?

This is a Red Hat 9 system with a Voodoo5 graphics card. I do have other 
3D games that work fine (Quake3, Descent3, BZflag, Heavy Gear II) so I 
know my X/DRI setup is OK.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

This was fixed in the CVS.
For the more courageous, they can try the development version
located on <http://torcs.free.fr> it was updated yesterday.

Thanks for sending feedback,
Eric.

Yes, Bernhard Wymann has done a very good job with the in-game map, it's
very cool. It'll be in the next version after all the platform related problems
are solved.

I'll try to post some screen shots soon.

Well, the network mode project is always "in gestation".
The biggest problem I have to face for now, is the numerical instability,
the simulation does not run the same on different processors (at least
on the same processor it seems to run the same...)
If anybody have some clues on this problem, I'd be interested.

Yes, it was a really cool and productive session ;-)

I recommend that too. The 2.0.1 is working well with TORCS.

Unfortunately, while this change allows the configure script to succeed, and TORCS to actually compile, TORCS will crash on startup due to run-time linking errors in one of the GL libraries.

I finally tracked down the problem to some kind of corruption in my system's /usr/lib/libGL*.so.* files. Apparently there were some broken links in there, although I can't imagine how that happened or why that would've caused the problem. Sorry for the noise!
