windows build + cars

and then ran, and after changing some options it looked good.

phew. The bullet guys need to come up with a better way to build their library....

[Monkeynut]

updated and it tried it. still didn't work. actually had the same error.

so i manually copied the file.
bullet-2.7.3/configue was still different than what was in the tools/win directory. though i think bullet-273-configure was present in the bullet dir.

and proceeded to run the rest of build_bullet.sh line by line.

then i had success
after that vdrift built without a hitch

and then ran, and after changing some options it looked good.
yay!!!

Could you upload the build somewhere please?

By the sounds of it I won't be very successful compiling on Windows.

EDIT: Okay, followed the steps, everything looks good, except I fall over at this step:

build_vdrift.sh: scons: command not found

Any ideas?

EDIT2: build_bullet.sh messes up too. I'll be back with a full report later, it's 4am here. hock:

my just built vdrift.exe is in this zip.

none of the dlls which you can get from the tools/win/dll directory if you've been playing with the source.

[Monkeynut]

Thanks, but it's magically decided to compile successfully now! Currently downloading the game data. Will report back.

[Monkeynut]

Okay, it works! Except for a few things. Turning on motion blur doesn't work and neither does raising the lighting quality past low. They are both reset to "off" and low when the game is reset.

Also I collided into one of those white boards next to the track and it crashed.

Antialiasing is turned on also but has no effect whatsoever. (this however might not be VDrift's fault)

I hope you can make some sense out of all of this.

Thanks for your time.

Turning on motion blur doesn't work and neither does raising the lighting quality past low. They are both reset to "off" and low when the game is reset.

These are known issues; just haven't gotten around to re-implementing motion blur yet (and the lighting quality setting never did anything; I should just remove it).

Also I collided into one of those white boards next to the track and it crashed.

Hey, thanks for putting those logs in your post! I can see there are two problems: 1) shaders are getting disabled, so you're not getting fancy graphics. The ATI shader compiler is a bit more strict than the NVidia one and I test with NVidia more often than ATI so it looks like some changes I made recently caused problems for the ATI card. I've *think* fixed those problems in R2274 and R277 data; if you could update and test I'd appreciate it (see if you can turn on shadows; that's one way to know for sure if shaders are working -- just remember you have to restart after turning on shadows or shaders for them to take effect). 2) I'll look into the collision problem a bit more later; it looks like I was being too strict with my assert statements and just need to add a conditional instead.

[joevenzon]

Okay, that collision problem should be fixed in R2275. Let me know if you see any more collision problems like crashes or if you can drive through objects.

[Monkeynut]

Hi, the problems are fixed now. Thanks very much. No crashes so far and shadows and shiny cars are working.
