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

Just found this one:

http://packman.links2linux.de/package/2770

Even more easy to install on Linux...

I'm not the packager btw.

Hi,
I found the solution to my own problem.

#Plug the steering wheel on the gameport before booting
#Once logged in:
sudo modprobe emu10k1-gp
sudo modprobe guillemot
sudo modprobe analog
sudo modprobe iforce
# then plug the two usb steering wheels

The key is NOT to 'modprobe joydev' (which is often seen in forums) with
this steering wheel.

It was partly given at http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/joystick

Maybe it will help s.o. else.

Hi,

I'm trying to have a Guillemot "Race Leader 3D" driving wheel works with
torcs, on Kubuntu 8.04.
It's gameport-plugged on a SB Live! sound card.
I followed advice from 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338457
among others.
The following code creates the device /dev/input/js2:

sudo modprobe joydev
sudo modprobe emu10k1-gp
# sudo modprobe gameport ## I've tried with or without this line
sudo modprobe analog

lsmod | grep game
#gives:
gameport               17936  3 analog,emu10k1_gp



Tests are OK with kde settings utility (kcontrol), jstest (command line
utility, package joystick), jscalibrator (installed, then removed).

Torcs recognizes the buttons but not the wheel nor the pedals.

I also tried a few other modules, including:
sudo modprobe ns558
sudo modprobe guillemot

Any help appreciated.

I don't think this program installs very well on most Linux distributions. In 
the file "complile_tcse_linux.txt", so say things about apt-get. apt-get is 
in general not available on a Linux distribution: it is only available at 
Debian or distributions based on Debian.

Also, "make" doesn't work here. The reason is that it gcc is called with 
gcc-4.2, and I only have gcc-4.1.2 installed (which should be sufficient as 
well).

Also the places to the libraries are fixed: you can't change them without 
setting some enviromental variable (or changing the Makefile). This is 
neccessairy if the user is on a computer where he can't install programs 
outside it's own home directory. If one of the dependencies is compiled 
somewhere in /home, it won't compile this way.

A possible solution is using the CMake-files I send you. CMake is then used to 
find the dependencies and change the compile-flags if neccesairy.

Regards,

Mart

I every body again. This morning I've finished a windows installer
for the torcs car setup editor v0.11 with NSIS.

Now to install the program: run the installer and then select the folder where is
torcs installed (by default C:\Program Files\torcs) and tcse will be installed
and a desktop shortcut will be created.

It can be downloaded from: http://files.filefront.com/windowsInstaller+tcse+v011exe/;11981607;/fileinfo.html

So now it's more easy to install  tcse in linux or windows because of the
new installers.


Any suggestion or idea to improve tcse will be welcome.

Go to "Options", "Display" and change initialization method from
"best" to "compatible".

Hi, I am experiencing weird graphics in 1.3.1-test1.
I am sure it's me and not torcs.  Tried messing with 
/usr/local/bin/torcs script but could not do anything with it.

Everything is installed in:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/share/games/torcs

Debian lenny amd64bit with nvidia-glx from sid as the nvidia-glx is not 
available in lenny right now.

This is peculiar.  Can you try adding

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>

in the beginning of Trajectory.cpp if they are missing?

I've finished to update the program.  TCSE is compiled in
windows an linux (tanks to Mart Kelder).

You can download it  (all in one windows an linux version and the
source code) from:
http://usuarios.lycos.es/f1torcs/index.html

or directly in the following link: http://files.filefront.com/tcse+v011zip/;11973008;/fileinfo.html

Now i've developed a linux installer:
to install tcse: sudo ./install.sh
the program is installed in: /usr/local/share/games/torcs/tcse

to run torcs-car-setup-editor: in the terminal just type: tcse

Hope this program helps to develop new cars and setup the cars for races.

Any sugesition to setup the car will be welcome.
