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

Is there a windows source I can get a hold of? I only see source for
linux. I would like to build a windows version of the game with a driver
to my 3d goggles built in. Please let me know if this is possible.

A message box... interesting, must come from Windows.

I have no idea what=B4s wrong without more information, but you can try t=
he
following things:
- try to disable sound in the sound menu of torcs.
- play with different color depths/resolutions.
- try to uninstall/install TORCS.
- update graphics/sound drivers

You can get more information if you start TORCS from a console ("dos box"=
),
copy the whole output and send it. Perhaps your Windows system log contai=
ns
as well some hints. If you can solve the problem please let us know as we=
ll,
perhaps another user gets hit by the same problem.

Bye, Bernhard.

Hi all,

I downloaded torcs-1.2.3 over the weekend for Windows and have it 
running fine on an P4 xp laptop, but am having a hard time getting it 
going on a 800Mhz W2k box.

I can get it all the way to the 'run race' (quick race), and the console 
  seems to get to 'ready', and then a error message pops up, and 
disappears real quick. The message box seems to say something about an 
error log being written somewhere,  but I can't find it. When I start 
torcs from a command console, there doesn't seem to be anything amiss 
that shows up there.

Any help appreciated.

Hm, strange, since realloc(NULL, size) should be exactly the same
as malloc(size);

If nobody else does fix it, I will, but not anytime soon... Btw., who is 
"us"?

> We may end up trying a debug malloc routine such as http://dmalloc.com/

I would recommend using valgrind, but I do not know if something like 
this or valgrind (valgrind.kde.org) itself works on Windows. It is 
really a great tool:-)

Howdy,

There may be more problems lurking here... but a temporary hack we coded seems to got us past the crashing.

changing the realloc to use malloc on the first try...

    int temp1 = curGrp->maxsurf * sizeof(struct surf);
    if(curGrp->surfaces == 0x0)
    {
         curGrp->surfaces = (struct surf *)malloc(temp1);
    }
    else
    {
        curGrp->surfaces = (struct surf *)realloc(curGrp->surfaces, temp1);
    }


my C pointer skills are horrible, so this is going to take time for us to resolve.  Any help appreciated :)
We may end up trying a debug malloc routine such as http://dmalloc.com/

The bug is known, or at least a very similar one:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1153669&group_id=3777&atid=103777

Please fill in your experience there as well, thank you for the report.

The tools are generally very "touchy" and use to crash if something is 
not exactly like it ought to be, altough they most often work at least 
on Linux. There is a lot of room for improvment. If nobody else fixes 
the problem I will probably have a look into it for 1.2.5, for 1.2.4 
there is a lot of other stuff to do, we will see.

Hi,

On Windows XP I get a crash trying to use trackgen to build tracks.  I crashes even if I try to rebuild one of the existing tracks.  Command-line 
I'm using:

  trackgen -c dirt -n dirt-1 -a

It crashes after console output:

  1005 Nodes
  Renum Nodes, Triangles, Sides

So I downloaded the source and managed to get trackgen compiled with Visual Studio 2003 C++ compiler...  and I get the same crash... so 
appears to be a code problem? I added some debug statements and found out that the line causing the crash is located:

  easymesh.cpp, method insert_elem_in_group

    /* insert the surface */
 if (curGrp->nbsurf == curGrp->maxsurf) {
if (curGrp->nbsurf == 0) {
    ActiveGroups++;
}
curGrp->maxsurf += SURF_INCR;
curGrp->surfaces = (struct surf *)realloc(curGrp->surfaces, curGrp->maxsurf * sizeof (struct surf));
    }

The crash happens on the final line where it calls realloc.

Given it crashes in identical console output on both the pre-compiled download and my own compiled version... something wrong with this 
code?  Anyone able to confirm and suggest some fixes?

Thank you.

Does anybody know if this site:

http://user.it.uu.se/~johannd/projects/ff/doc.shtml

Is the best place when looking for ffb wheels that work in Linux?

It seems that the iforce drivers are part of the standard kernel since
some time ago, but I haven't found but this place about tested hardware,
and it seems quite old.

Bests,

Hi Kevin -

Thanks for the pointer.  Using the flags described on
the fink page I was able to (after making some fairly
minor changes to the source) compile all of the
libraries as loadable modules.  I am now getting the
error pasted below.  I played around a little, and ld
is looking for
libracescreens.dylib,librobottools.dylib, etc...  This
seems to suggest that I should build them as shared
libraries using the '-dynamiclib' flag, but this is
what caused the compilation to fail originally. 
Essentially I can only build these libraries as
loadable modules, but 'ld' seems to be looking for
shared libraries.  Is there a way to resolve this?   I
have tried passing a few other options to the linker
suggested by various web sources, but nothing has
worked so far.  I don't have a lot of experience with
these types of issues, so I appologize if I'm missing
something obvious.
Thanks.

Bryan

Did you compile plib with -fPIC?

I, too, passed the first error with: 

./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib

but my sticking point is now in make, seems to be something to do
with plib and maybe 64 bit mode:

g++ -shared -o libclient.so entry.o mainmenu.o splash.o exitmenu.o
optionmenu.o -L/home/mike/torcs-1.2.3/export/lib  -L/usr/lib
-L/usr/lib  -lplibssg-lplibsg -lplibul
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/libplibssg.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [libclient.so] Error 1

I am using Glut3.7 not freeGlut (compatibility issues with amd64 for
freeglut, according to gentoo) - so maybe that's why we have
different errors.

This is a known problem, have a look into the FAQ.

I have a Gentoo and I have this problem too. I solved it typing:
./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib

but I have now a new error when i do "make":

grmultitexstate.cpp: In member function `virtual void
   grMultiTexState::apply(int)':
grmultitexstate.cpp:30: error: `glActiveTexture' undeclared (first use this

If you look at it the linking fails, so there is something wrong with
your libraries, toolchain or system set up, look at this:

I do not know, but have a look at the link, perhaps the comment on the

Hi,

I just got around to trying to install TORCS-1.2.3, 

I have a Gentoo-2.6.9-r14 kernel for athlon64, built stage3 from the
latest (2004.3-r1.iso) universal distro CD image.  I was recently
down for a week while I sorted out an --update world issue with my
nvidia drivers, but that's another story - the system is now rebuilt
"from scratch" from that CD image.

I have all the dependancies installed (only needed to add plib), but
when I ./configure torcs, I get:

checking for plib/ssg.h... yes
checking for sin in -lm... no
configure: error: Can't find libm. Please check config.log and if you
can't solve the problem send the file to
tor...@li... with the subject "torcs compilation
problem"

http://packages.gentoo.org/ doesn't seem to know about libm, for
amd64 or any other system?

config.log is attached, the error is a little odd:

configure:5956: g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -fPIC -O2
-DUSE_RANDR_EXT   -L conftest.cc -lm   >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../../lib/crt1.o(.text+0x21):
In function `_start':
: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

to my eyes, there is an extra semicolon in the test code that does
not  need to be there:

| char sin ();
| int
| main ()
| {
| sin ();
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }


What do I need?

Thanks!

Read the docs that come with the all-in-one package.

Define better? They have both their good points.

Currently simuv2 offers more physical stability and better performance, 
1.2.3 is only tested and set up (the cars) with simuv2. The DOF's are 
limited and it is not very good on high banked tracks.

simuv3 offers more features (e.g. tire wear and temp) and is going 
towards full 3D, there are some issues to resolve.

This is the state of the race. A different number for each state. Note
that they are chosen such that they are not over lapping (easy to see
in the binary representation, they are all powers of 2), thus a race
can be both RUNNING and PAUSED.

The engine class is not useful at the moment. We are only using some
physical parameters, like the output torque and its rotational
inertia. We don't take into account oxygen intake and turbo lag.

Bryan,

Mac OS  X makes a distinction between 'shared libraries' and 'loadable 
modules' whereas on Linux and Windows they're the same. The linking 
flags are different between the two, so you have to determine how the 
executable is going to be used in order to set the flags correctly. The 
easiest way to distinguish between the two usages is 'shared libraries' 
are automatically loaded and linked on your behalf by the system and 
never unloaded, whereas 'loadable modules' are explicitly loaded and 
unloaded by the program.

Here are the different command line flags for the two types of 
executables.

Shared library: -dynamiclib (as you mentioned below)
Loadable module: -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress

See the 'Fink' documentation pages at 
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/shared.php

I had torcs running about a year ago on OS X (10.2?), but I haven't had 
time to play with it recently. I remember almost everything was a 
loadable module, so try using the other options to see if that gets you 
any closer.

I distinctly remember that some previous official release of TORCS was
working fine of my machine out of the box. However the CVS version
always had problems with fullscreen for some reason. I remember that
I've been working solely on the simu for some time and I was just
installing that, but as soon as I needed to recompile everything and
install, I had problems.. was some TORCS release statically linked
with some particular *GLUT? Maybe freeglut with your patches?

Maybe we should make a list of the problems and put them on the torcs
website, so that people know that if you have X symptom then it is
with the library, otherwise it is an unknown bug ..

For example, currently if TORCS crashes in fullscreen mode the screen
does not revert to the original resolution. Also, fullscreen forces
the gnome-panel to resize itself for some reason, which I recall did
not happen with some previous version of TORCS.  Is this a common
problem or is it just me? I guess it's the libraries because if I
change from freeglut to glut I get a different problem :) [screen
becomes moveable, IIRC]

Yes, 320x240, 640x480 and 800x600 are always in the list (because the 
windowed and fullscreen list is not separated at the moment).

And the command line tool works, thats weird, because TORCS does quite 
the same things like the command line tool does. Is perhaps your window 
manager somehow able to capute and prevent a successful switch?

If you want just to use your native resolution you can try to compile it 
with --without-xrandr.

Ok. The fullscreen issue is a big mess and should be solved in the 
libraries, but in GLUT it is not possible because of its license and the 
FreeGLUT people are not very interested in fullscreen (I sent a patch 
ages ago, but nobody reviewd/fixed/applied it).
