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

Hello,

My name is Chris McInnish and I work for the Envizions Computer
Entertainment Corporation. We are wrapping up development of our new
console called EVO. It is a Linux based system and we are getting ready to
do a live conference that will be broad casted on the Internet and TV as
well as have a small audience at the event. At the event, we are promoting
open source games and would like to use TORCS as part of our
promotion.  If you are interested, could you send any high resolution
videos or trailors you have that we can play at the event. 
If you need any more information, feel free to contact me with any
questions. Thank you for your time.

Hello,
I've found that when s->currentTime reaches 1.0, human driver (whichever
its car is) sets accel to 0.0, just to gradually reapply it in the
following 5 timesteps. This happens in all gears, with all tracks. And I
think it's not very realistic... I've found in human.cpp the following
lines:

    if (s->currentTime > 1.0) {
        // thanks Christos for the following: gradual accel/brake
changes for on/off controls.
        const tdble inc_rate = 0.2f;

        if (cmd[CMD_BRAKE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_JOY_BUT ||
            cmd[CMD_BRAKE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_MOUSE_BUT ||
            cmd[CMD_BRAKE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_KEYBOARD ||
            cmd[CMD_BRAKE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_SKEYBOARD)
        {
            tdble d_brake = car->_brakeCmd - HCtx[idx]->pbrake;
            if (fabs(d_brake) > inc_rate && car->_brakeCmd >
HCtx[idx]->pbrake) {
                car->_brakeCmd = MIN(car->_brakeCmd, HCtx[idx]->pbrake +
inc_rate*d_brake/fabs(d_brake));
            }
            HCtx[idx]->pbrake = car->_brakeCmd;
        }

        if (cmd[CMD_THROTTLE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_JOY_BUT ||
            cmd[CMD_THROTTLE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_MOUSE_BUT ||
            cmd[CMD_THROTTLE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_KEYBOARD ||
            cmd[CMD_THROTTLE].type == GFCTRL_TYPE_SKEYBOARD)
        {
            tdble d_accel = car->_accelCmd - HCtx[idx]->paccel;
            if (fabs(d_accel) > inc_rate && car->_accelCmd >
HCtx[idx]->paccel) {
                car->_accelCmd = MIN(car->_accelCmd, HCtx[idx]->paccel +
inc_rate*d_accel/fabs(d_accel));
            }
            HCtx[idx]->paccel = car->_accelCmd;
        }
    }


and, setting inc_rate at line 3 to 1.0f, the bug doesn't seem to happen
anymore. The problem is that I suppose line 3 is important for other
things, so my remedy must be changed into something else.

The problem disappears also commenting lines 17 to 27, but, as for the
previous stuff, I think those lines are useful for something.

So, what would it possible to do?

Cheers,
Ocirne.

P.S.: I'm not sure whether it has been made intentionally or not. If
that's the case, and it's useful for something, sorry for all the spam
above.

... good news ;)

cheers,
Percy

Hi

I did a server migration and there were problems in it. has now been fixed.
renewed only dns lack access to the new location.
I uploaded a new track Zepan (Sepang Circuit)

cheers
