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

Hi Jai

A question, which TORCS version are you using? It makes way too much 
output, is it an older version?

Best regards

Bernhard

Hi Jai

I tried it now on my Windows box (Windows 7 64 bit), here it is a bit 
more tricky, if you just hit the menu entry in the TORCS menu the track 
editor will (depending on your system settings and account type) not work.

There are 2 ways to make it work:
1. Run trackeditor as Administrator
2. Run trackeditor as user, move the files manually, then run trackgen 
as administrator (in this scenario the track length calculation will not 
work IIRC)

1:
On Windows 7 you have to run it as administrator, so do this:
- Hit the Windows start button
- In the search box type in "cmd"
- In the presented box right click on cmd.exe and select "run as 
administrator", a cmd windows opens up
- cd into the TORCS diectory "cd "Program Files (x86)\torcs""
- run from here trackeditor.bat
- When creating a new track just select one on the presented choices 
under "browse", otherwise trackgen will not work

2.
- Start track editor from menu, create the new project somewhere where 
you have write permissions
- Save the xml there (you managed to do this, you have the files)
- Copy the directory and contents to "Program Files (x86)\torcs\tracks\road"
- Open a cmd as in 1. and cd to "Program Files (x86)\torcs"
- Run "trackgen -c road -n Jai2" (without scenery) or "trackgen -c road 
-n Jai2 -a" (with scenery).

Beware "trackgen" only works when the files are in the TORCS 
installation directory, so your "Jai2" directory has to be in the 
torcs/tracks/road directory.

Best regards

Bernhard

Hi

I just checked under linux: trackgen works here, no problem, but the 
output says this:
...
Delta X   = -442.229065
Delta Y   = -4.778198
Delta Z   = 0.000000
...

So your start and end does not match, the inferno robot is then 
completely confused, so maybe you have tried another bot which crashed 
then on initialization (if you are off by some centimeters it usually 
works, but is visually unpleasing, so you should make the end match as 
good as you can)?

Is the ac file generated in your case, after running trackgen I have 
these files in Jai2:
-rw-r--r--  1 berni users 4964568 Sep 30 16:07 Jai2.ac
-rw-r--r--  1 berni users    1577 Sep 16 10:11 Jai2.prj.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 berni users 4964568 Sep 30 16:07 Jai2-trk.ac
-rw-r--r--  1 berni users   89853 Sep 30  2013 Jai2.xml

Do you have these files too or is the .ac missing?

Best regards

Bernhard

Yes, it would be possible, I had this on the schedule for 1.4.x when 
implementing a new bot which supports pro mode (-> rules, penalties, 
start modes, ...) and the 1.4 interface. There will be probably more 
1.3.x releases, 1.3.6 and later will deal with adding the stuff which 
will need no interface changes and maybe an update of the Mac OS X port 
and integration of the MorphOS port changes, if there is demand there 
will be as well 1.3.x maintenance releases even after 1.4 is out.

Best regards

Bernhard

Hello Bernhard,
i tested with much Fun the new Version and can say :congratulation!!
For more interesting Races I reduced the fuel-tank for all cars in a  
categorie to max.
30 litres, and so each driver has to make min. 1 pit-stop. But now I must  
see, that all
berniw-drivers are not able to use pit-sharing and cannot finish the  
races. Is it possible to implement pit-sharing in the 3 bots ??

Hi

The most important thing is to use a development environment which can 
list/follow references and has a good debugger, I use under Windows (I 
guess you are under Windows because of the "26" projects) VS2008 with 
"Virtual Assist X" to navigate code faster, maybe VS2010 or later can do 
this equally good, I do not know. Under Linux I use usually an editor or 
IDE which supports "ctags" or a similar technology.

For your case I recommend the following:
- Read the TORCS FAQ, the researchers section (ReOneStep), have a look 
at the simulation timestep
- Have a look at the file human.cpp, this is the "driver" which is 
driven by user input.
- Have a look at the input setup, files are in src/libs/confscreens, I 
guess this is in the "client" project IIRC
- Build a debug version, set breakpoints and inspect the callstack
- You can generate some documents under Linux with "make doc", an old 
version is available here: 
http://www.berniw.org/aboutme/publications/api.tar.bz2

Your project sounds interesting, please post a link to the result then 
(if public available).

Depending on your architecture you will not need to modify TORCS at all, 
e.g. you could consider writing a "hid" driver for your input device 
(you will need the Microsoft Driver Development Kit/SDK, but 
Universities have those things usually available), so it would appear to 
TORCS as any other input device, then you could use your interface as 
well for any sort of application (other racing games, jump and run, 
whatever...).

Best regards

Bernhard

Hello All

I am working in torcs for my final B.Tech Project. I am using the emotiv
neuroheadset to drive the car using our mind. Actually, I need to make
emotiv to be able to communicate with torcs. Emotiv will send the data to
torcs to drive the car.  I need the documentation of source code to
understand all the 26 projects and to understand how the torcs works. I am
getting lost whenever I read the code to understand it. Can you suggest me
how can I do it?

Hello,

the link to the cityscape driving simulator looks very interesting. I
didn't find any code or examples to run, but I'll try to contact the post's
author.

Thanks for the help =)

Hi Janito

Currently not, but some people added this for their projects (e.g. see 
here: http://www.onecircuit.com/node/87 ). Depending on your 
requirements/experiment you could eventually just try to make a very 
broad track (e.g. 200-1000 m or so..., but never tried this before, 
widest by me so far was 30m, but I guess it would work;-) ).

Best regards

Bernhard

Hello,
You shouldn't close the window. The errors you get are from the
drawing functions that can't draw on a window.
If you want to use only the console, type in a command line:
wtorcs.exe -r config/raceman/dtmrace.xml
Eventually change dtmrace.xml into something different

Best regards,
Quinten

Hello,

I'm interested on using TORCS for playing with some collision avoidance
algorithms, and one scenario would be to simulate a crossway. Does TORCS
support tracks that have intersections in them (like a track in an 8
arrangement)?

Thanks in advance,

Janito

Hi Bernhard,

i have got the same problem. After a random amount of time the car
 is approximately 5m in the air. I 
have tried several cars and followed your instructions with the bump
/rebound values.

When I try your code from the tutorial in the drive method

		car->ctrl.brakeCmd = roundTo1tenth(getBrake(car));
		if (car->ctrl.brakeCmd == 0.0) {
			car->ctrl.accelCmd = roundTo1tenth(getAccel(car));
			action = car->ctrl.accelCmd;
		} else {
			car->ctrl.accelCmd = 0.0;
			action = -car->ctrl.brakeCmd;
		}

the car is not flying.

When I replace this part of code with mine:

		if(action < 0.0 ){
			car->ctrl.accelCmd = 0.0;
			car->ctrl.brakeCmd = -action;
		}else{
		    car->ctrl.brakeCmd = 0.0;
		    car->ctrl.accelCmd = action;
		}

where action is a float between -1(brake) and +1(throttle).
I have no idea why the car is flying. 
 
I am using torcs 1.3.4 and the car acura-nsx-sz or car1-stock1.

Perhaps you can help me...

Thank you for your help and prompt responses. 



I started fresh with a new torcs source directory and followed the directions 

more carefully this time. I did need to change the torcs.rc file as recommen ded. 



Torcs now builds and runs. 



Although torcs seems to run correctly, I do get a _lot_ of the following 

messages on the terminal when I close the torcs window: 



cGrScreen::update glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST) invalid operation 
cGrScreen::update display boards invalid operation 
refresh: start invalid operation 
grDrawBackground: ssgCullAndDraw start invalid operation 
grDrawBackground: ssgCullAndDraw invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: start invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: end invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: start invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: end invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: start invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: end invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: start invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: end invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: start invalid operation 
cggrDrawCar: end invalid operation 
refresh: ssgCullAndDraw start invalid operation 
refresh: ssgCullAndDraw invalid operation 



This problem also occurs with the pre-built torcs. 

Could all these messages be affecting my frame rate? (The frame rate seems  to be ok) 



I am running windows 8 

amd a8-6500 apu with radeon graphics (x 4) 

amd radeon hd 8570D display adapter (driver is up to date, according to windows) 



The above information came from device manager (the documentation that came with this computer 

is utterly useless) 



Thanks again! 

Hello,

Can you please include the error you get?
With that I (or someone else) are better able to help you.
Anyway, try to open torcs.rc in a text editor (notepad ;))
There, find 'afxres.h' and replace it with 'windows.h' (without braces).

Hope this helps,
Quinten

Hi Brian

Beware, you have to follow the steps in the README exactly.

1.3.4 is known to work with VS 2010 (not Express), see here:
http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/blog/Torquing-it-up-with-TORCS-The-Open-Racing-Car-Simulator

The suggested change there went into 1.3.4. So I guess you have similar 
trouble like VS 2008 Express, see the latest README, section 5.1:

http://torcs.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/torcs/torcs/torcs/README?revision=1.92.2.142&view=markup&pathrev=r1-3-1

112 	5.1.3 VS 2008 Express, reported by Stacey Pritchett:
113 	- in wtorcs -> Source Files (Solution explorer) exclude torcs.rc

Please report back even if it worked for future reference, if it does 
not work, please post some compiler/linker output or what went wrong 
exactly, I guess the solution is just a few mouse clicks away...

Best regards

Bernhard

I am having trouble building torcs with express c++ 2010. 

Has anyone out there built torcs successfully with this version of express? 



Thanks for any help. 

Hi

First, I have never compiled TORCS on cygwin, there are Windows native 
project files available (which you can use with the "free" Visual Studio 
Express Editions with some 5 minute adoptions, see README). Nontheless, 
lets see...

configure:5948: g++ -o conftest.exe -g -O2 -Wall -fPIC 
-fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -DUSE_RANDR_EXT -DGL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES 
conftest.cpp -lXxf86vm  -lXmu -lXi -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lm  >&5
conftest.cpp:1:0: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is 
position independent)
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lXxf86vm

 From that I guess that you linker is not able to find the library, 
maybe some of the configure related linker options could help (e.g. 
something like --x-libraries=/usr/lib/). Run ./configure --help for the 
list of options.

Here I explained my approach to nail down such problems (just in case 
you are interested):
http://sourceforge.net/p/torcs/mailman/message/30193739/

Best regards

Bernhard

Hi Schnuck

Thank you for the report:-)

Currently it runs on one single core apart from the sound processing 
with OpenAL, this runs in another thread. But with "only" 15 cars the 
graphics card is the limiting factor usually, switching off the rear 
mirror, reducing the visibility and setting wheel rendering to simple 
might help most. Alternatively you could get/use low poly car models 
(e.g. from ancient TORCS versions).

I guess the "hidden window" thing was desired to avoid noise/power 
consumption. Are you aware that you can run TORCS in command line mode 
without GUI whatsoever (see FAQ, researchers section)?

You could make the glutIdleFunc point to "reDisplay" in racegl.cpp 
during the race, this would then keep the processing running (when the 
window is hidden the postRedisplay just marks the window with "requires 
redraw", so no event is generated and TORCS "stalls"). To find the 
proper place to add this just find the place where glutDisplayFunc is 
set for entering and exiting the race, so adding just 2 lines of code 
might do the trick.

Everybody else: Is it a common demand to change this behaviour?

Hope this helps

Bernhard

Hello Torcs-User,

Sorry for the subject, it's probably not the best description of my
requests.

First of all I'd like to point out that it was just a question of running
'configure && make && make install' to get the new version to compile
on Mageia 3 Linux with a 3.8.13 kernel on my Asus laptop with a Nvidia GC.

Still there's a question left: Is it possible to compile it to run on more
than one core?

It uses one of eight cores and runs on it with 55 to 60 fps if I race on
E-track-6 for example. I am able to race fluently against 10 or 12
opponents,
but it gets "jumpy" if I try to configure 15 or more opponents at once.

Also I always recognized that the running race stops, if I switch
away from the virtual desktop the visual/window is on.
I guess this is a desired behaviour. 

I sometimes let some robots race against each others and then I  switch to 
some other virtual desktop to work on something else for a minute.
But the race stops if I do that.

Is there a way to change this? I'd like it to run unattended for a while.

Thank you for your time.

Greetings

Hi all

There is a new TORCS version available, visit www.torcs.org for details.

Enjoy, Bernhard
