Problem compiling vdrift-trackeditor

[norv]

How do I run vdrift-trackeditor?
Do I have to compile?
If I run scons in the vdrift-trackeditor directory I get

Code:

norv@sid5600:~/vdrift-trackeditor$ scons

You are compiling correctly, but there was some old code that was causing errors with newer compilers. I checked in some changes just now to fix it -- try updating your SVN copy of VDrift-tracked to rev 69.

[norv]

Thanks Joe, I got #69, got a bit further with the compile... but not quite there yet..

Code:

norv@sid5600:~$ svn co http://svn.vdrift.net/repos/vdrift-trackeditor/trunk vdrift-trackeditor
U    vdrift-trackeditor/src/main.cpp
Checked out revision 69.

Alright... getting closer... try rev 70.

[norv]

Yep, that compliles. When I run the vdrift file in the build directory it complains it can't find data/settings/Vdrift.config, but that file is there.. and if I copy vdrift executable to the main directory it segfaults. But getting closer!

Code:

[joevenzon]

Try running build/vdrift from the VDrift-tracked folder instead of running ./vdrift from the build folder.

[norv]

Yep, that works, the track editor opens. Now to work out how to use it!
Thanks for the help Joe.

[norv]

I was able to export my track (rough draft!) from Blender into vdrift-trackeditor and trace the track.
When I run the joepack command I get

Code:

norv@sid5600:~/vdrift-trackeditor$ cd data/tracks/byron/objects
norv@sid5600:~/vdrift-trackeditor/data/tracks/byron/objects$ joepack/joepack -c objects.jpk *.joe
bash: joepack/joepack: No such file or directory
norv@sid5600:~/vdrift-trackeditor/data/tracks/byron/objects$

What should I do to get it to work?

[joevenzon]

First, build the joepack tool with

Code:

cd ~/vdrift-trackeditor/joepack
scons

then you can do

Code:

cd ~/vdrift-trackeditor/data/tracks/byron/objects
~/vdrift-trackeditor/joepack -c objects.jpk *.joe

[joevenzon]

I've just updated the wiki instructions to be correct and also fixed a few other problems with them.

[norv]

Thanx Joe for the update. I get a compile error with joepack:

Code:

norv@sid5600:~/vdrift-trackeditor/joepack$ scons

scons: building terminated because of errors.
norv@sid5600:~/vdrift-trackeditor/joepack$

[joevenzon]

Alright, try rev 71 of the track editor.

[norv]

Yep, joepack compiles now.
When I moved the new track into main vdrift folder and started vdrift I got

Code:

EXCEPTION: src/textures.cpp, line 489:  Error loading texture file: tracks/byron/trackshot.png (/home/norv/vdrift/data/tracks/byron/trackshot.png)

So I made a dummy trackshot.png and now the game loads. But when I choose my track it complains about not finding textures..

Code:

EXCEPTION: src/textures.cpp, line 489:  Error loading texture file: /home/norv/vdrift/data/tracks/byron/objects/sky_photo6.jpg (/home/norv/vdrift/data//home/norv/vdrift/data/tracks/byron/objects/sky_photo6.jpg)

Not sure where I went wrong. Somehow I have failed to export and pack textures. I'll try again. Thanks for all the help!

[norv]

I got to "drive" the track - but looks like my Blender texture settings are all up the creek - back to the drawing board!

[joevenzon]

Not sure where I went wrong. Somehow I have failed to export and pack textures. I'll try again. Thanks for all the help!

Just in case you haven't figured it out, all you need to do is export the textures to png and put them in the data/tracks/byron/objects folder; they don't get put in the joepack file.
