what is the a proper size or wide a track should be?

- NaN - 04-21-2011

The scale is 1:1. A unit in blender is 1 meter.

OK, I've got a problem!
I'm trying to make a new track, I've been through all the steps in blender, and when I edit the track on track-editor the track.txt comes like this:

Code:
start position 0 = 142.320312,0.609973,117.210922

start orientation 0 = -179.589294,73.544479,179.951630

cull faces = on

lap sequences = 2

lap sequence 0 = 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000

lap sequence 1 = 0.000000,851.000000,0.000000

non-treaded friction coefficient = 1.000000

treaded friction coefficient = 0.900000

Then, when I try to run VDrift with that track, I get:

Code:
ERROR: No matching orientation xyz for start position 0

Looking into the code, I've notice that VDrift expects the variables "start orientation-xyz" and "start orientation-w", but the track-editor gives "start orientation"

There are some tracks in the download area that gives me the same problem

Any Ideas?

Looks like you are trying to use new data with old vdrift version. Your vdrift and data revision?

- tatu - 08-26-2011

Yeah, thats it!
Actually there is only one downloadable version of track-editor, and if fits only the development version of VDrift.
I got to compile and install the development version of VDrift on linux, but it took me a little trouble. Everything is fine now.
Thanks!

Well, the old version of track editor I don't need anymore, but it's good to know. I'm using both new versios of track editor and VDrift (In fact, the development version seems ok, I don't know if there are any "hidden" issues, but from my point of view it cuold be the sable version)

Sure! Just let me get together all the information and I'll post here everything I needed to do in order to have VDrift up and runnig on my Debian GNU/Linux. ;-)

The packages libbullet0 and libbullet-dev aren't available in Debian, so I had to use Ubuntu's. On the wiki are missing the libbullet0 and the libcurl4-gnutls-dev packages.

This is what I needed to do to compile and install the development version of VDrift:

Code:
sudo apt-get install git git-svn g++ scons libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libvorbis-dev libglew-dev libasio-dev libboost-dev libarchive-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev

mkdir vdrift

cd vdrift

wget -c http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/mirrors/pub/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/games/libb/libbullet/libbullet0_2.77-1~getdeb1_i386.deb

wget -c http://95.110.204.80/mirror/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/games/libb/libbullet/libbullet-dev_2.77-1~getdeb1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i libbullet0_2.77-1~getdeb1_i386.deb libbullet-dev_2.77-1~getdeb1_all.deb 

git clone https://github.com/VDrift/vdrift.git

cd vdrift

git svn clone https://vdrift.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vdrift/vdrift-data data

scons release=1

sudo scons install

Actually I used the package on

Code:
http://mirror.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/mirrors/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/games/libb/libbullet/libbullet0_2.77-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb

because I have an amd64 kernel, but the i386 package should probably work too.

P.S.:I hope I didn't make any mistakes retrieving the information on my logs to post here.

Thanks! I made a first pass at updating the wiki.
