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

Hi Marc

> Do we get a penalty if we drive to fast in the pit line? how are we notified?

Yes, in pro mode you do. Look into the human driver how to access the
penalties related data structures.

> And can we predict the time a pit stop takes? Is it for example the sum of damage and fuel (with coeffs), or is the car repaired and fueled at the same time so it depends on max(damage,fuel).

They are deterministic (additive -> base time + repair time + refuel
time), search the mailing list, I think I pointed that already out
before, its really simple.

> Futhermore, is there a easy way to write on the screen. For example I would like to put things like "Detecting stuck position" "Detecting opponent on left side" "Detecting pit stop is needed". It would be usefull to see if my robot behaves as expected. What I can do now is printing to the console using printf(...) it works but it would better on the screen. Could it be displayed the way "Player 1 in pits stop" is? I would put that inside a #if defined(DEBUG_MSG) so it would only appear when developping the robot. Thanks.

I think it would be possible with a hack, but IMHO it is not a good idea:
- you can log to the console.
- you can log into a file.

A clean solution would be nice, I have something related to this in the
TODO list IIRC.

Bye, Bernhard.

hi,
I wanted to know few things,
Do we get a penalty if we drive to fast in the pit line? how are we notified?
And can we predict the time a pit stop takes? Is it for example the sum of damage and fuel (with coeffs), or is the car repaired and fueled at the same time so it depends on max(damage,fuel).
 
Futhermore, is there a easy way to write on the screen. For example I would like to put things like "Detecting stuck position" "Detecting opponent on left side" "Detecting pit stop is needed". It would be usefull to see if my robot behaves as expected. What I can do now is printing to the console using printf(...) it works but it would better on the screen. Could it be displayed the way "Player 1 in pits stop" is? I would put that inside a #if defined(DEBUG_MSG) so it would only appear when developping the robot. Thanks.
 
bye,
marc.

Please check if your libraries are in place (usually in /usr/lib), if
not, reinstall (make as well sure that there is just one version
installed with fitting header files):
$ find /usr/lib -name "libglut*"

If you have it in /usr/local/lib you need an entry in /etc/ld.so.conf
(is on a lot of distros set out of the box) or to add it to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

If it is in place try running ldconfig as root.

Bye, Bernhard.

 Afte downloading freeGLUT, and PLIB, I installed both packages, and 
have gotten Torcs compiled and installed, but when running I get the error:
"/usr/local/lib/torcs/torcs-bin: error while loading shared libraries: 
libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I have installed Messa, and I still get this error, does anyone know how 
I can fix this?

Hi all

I would like to have an updated website for the TORCS project within 12 
to 24 months, so I have some questions:
- Should we update at all?
- Strengths/weaknesses of the current site, of a potential new site?
- Does anybody have a CMS suggestion (*)?
- Some suggestions about the layout/functionality/spirit?
- Volunteers (Important, I will have not the time to do it till mid 07 I 
think)?
- Other thoughts?

I would like to update the site for the following reasons:
- Security.
- It should be more clear what the site is about on the first glimpse.
- Checking accordance with updated terms of use (sf.net).

The possibilities range from a mere update to the latest phpnuke 5.x up 
to a change to a different CMS with a complete redesign.

Thank you for your suggestions, bye

Bernhard.


(*) Requirements:
- Free (GPL or similar).
- Because we are hosted on sf.net it must be some kind of PHP/MySQL CMS.
- It should be possible to migrate the current data (manually is ok, we 
have to do it just once).
- Be aware of sf.net legal/technical limitations (**).

I do not have a gentoo here, but perhaps this helps:
