Hi there guys, i've just commited some changes to the CVS adding the possibility to choose your screen resolution and removing the window borders. [more comments below for those interested]¹ you might want to try choosing your desktop resolution in fullscreen. mine is 1024x768, so in order to play fullscreen: ./tuxkart --screenMode 6 --noBorder again, all the options are listed with --help... but as you might observe, --noBorder isn't there. The reason is simple, i want a full-fledge --fullscreen option but didn't find how to proceed yet. i'd appreciate some cues ;) anyway, that's it for now... -Pascal PS: please try my modifications and send your comments, there're well appreciated! ¹ It was quite easy to change the resolution, i used reshape(x,y). it's pointing on setScreenSize(x,y). At the moment, what annoys me is that the way i do it, either of them need to be called before pwInit because pwInit determines the size of the window. Outside pwInit, I don't know how to change the window size yet... Another thing is that the SplashScreen (InitialScreen) isn't scalable yet. -- Projet MoviXMaker (http://sv.gnu.org/projects/movixmaker) Projet [e]MoviX[2] (http://movix.sf.net) Debian Project (http://www.debian.org) |

The 'pwInit' call is the thing here.
void pwInit ( int x, int y, int w, int h,
int multisample,
char *title, int border, int num_samples ) ;
...setting 'border' to FALSE gets rid of the window decoration, setting 'w' and 'h'
to -1 forces them to the full width or height of the screen. Hence you can have
full screen windows with or without borders and non-full screen windows with or
without borders too.

pwSetSize, pwSetOrigin or pwSetSizeOrigin
PW is an extremely simple windowing system - the documentation for it is here:

We could even, at some point, create packages that contains more tracks. So i don't think it's a good idea to have some hardcoded information. I'd use *trackNames, which is created by parsing data/levels.dat .

'--help' should just give a list of command line options and not clutter up valuable screen space in a terminal with track names or other data (there are after all just 24 lines per default). > the thing that concerns more is that a user can definitly change > it's tracks later on.

In the long run tracks should all go into their own directory, so a --track option should just act on the filename or directory name. So currently it should be like: ./tuxkart --track data/geekopeak.loc or even better just: ./tuxkart data/geekopeak.loc Anyway, the whole command line options are mainly meant for debugging to surpass the in-game GUI, so changing them later to something else is really a not an issue. -- WWW: http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/ JabberID: gr...@ja...

Hi there guys,
i'm trying to get to understand more about why tuxkart currently loads
tracks this way in order to add support for
~/tuxkart/tracks/{*.{loc,drv,ac},levels.dat} (like listed at
http://netpanzer.berlios.de/tuxkart/index.php/Tasks).
Firstly, that perhaps only Steve can answer:
i'm wondering what is the purpose of the constant MAX_TRACKS ?
can't we just look for a \0 or ' ' in levels.dat ?
I'm also seeking for ideas in order to cleanly support two tracks directories.
I know some ugly ways to implement it, but would definitly appreciate to
find/learn-about better solutions.

FWIW Department:
I'd like to see levels.dat go away. The Track directories should be
dynamically parsed. And even if someone screws up and gives themes and tracks
the same name, the parser should not choke, but display all themes/tracks it
finds. How it gets displayed in the menus is another matter. Here we just
want to populate a structure with all the theme/track information needed by
the game engine and UI.
There should be NO sharing of textures or models between themes. They should
be standalone entities. Any common items like karts, players, herrings and
effects are assumed to be elsewhere. Of course it might be nice to have
themeable overrides for the herrings and maybe other common elements.
(Hmmmmm)
Maybe a nice recursive method could be used to populate the theme/track info
structures.
The names of directory's should not be significant to the parser. In fact the
whole hierarchy should be case insensitive. The parser should be indifferent
to DOS/UNIX line endings. (I think the current .loc parser tuxkart/plib
already handles this)
Within each THEME directory there should be ONE .nfo file: There should be a
.loc file for each track within a that theme directory. The .drv will also
be at this level. Subdirectories for models, textures, and audio exist to
organize the common componets of the theme.
The parser must be robust should not choke if it does not find any directories
or files. Errors for missing items should be sent to stderr or whatever
method plib supports for OMG messages are mandatory to make developers lives
easier.
The track/theme directory hierarchy could go something like this:
( where <...> are directories and [...] are files and # set off comments.)
<Players_root>
<Theme_root>
<Theme_dir_1>
[theme.nfo] : Theme Name, Theme Background image?, Theme Music?
#PARSE ME for Theme info
#Theme info - Maybe the menu system could change the background and
#theme music as the player scrolls through the available themes/tracks
#Would probably require some code to make the transition between images
#and music smooth. Obviously these ideas are currently outside of the
#agreed upon enhancements for the current revision. Perhaps in the
#future..
[track_a.drv] : Drive file
[track_a.loc] : Location file - Track Name, Track Music, Herrings, etc...
#PARSE ME for track info
[track_b.drv]
[track_b.loc]
...
<models> : models, animations...
[track_a.ac]
[track_b.ac]
[widget.ac]
[widget.bones]
...
<textures>
[texture.rgb]...
<sources> : storage for theme development files...
#Possibly not distributed with binary distributions?
[something.blend]...
[bricks.xcf]...
<audio>
[blam.wav]... :Theme specific sound files...
[rockon.mod]...
<Theme_dir_2>
...
<Theme_dir_n>
Gosh it's late and I've rambled on too long here. Hope someone can make sense
of this. Improve it, reprove, dicuss...
G'nite.

I think there is a script called "reconf" that's already in the root that does the same thing.

newer autoconf packages come with the "autoreconf" tool, so autogen.sh should be a thing of the past for 95% of projects...
