2009-02-15 bug (mac) in assign some camera controls

[cologne]

I can't assign the view controls for: Previous and next camera an Focus next and previous.
The dialog is normal, but there is no symbol after assigning and the Buttom - keyboard, mouse, gamepad - doesn´t word!

This is present in all versions (not just Mac), these controls have not yet been re-implemented since the refactor.

[cologne]

OK! Not a bug, a coming feature! :-)

Previous Camera and Next Camera work fine but Focus Previous and Focus Next don't. A key can be assigned, but nothing happens. And it's a pity because you cannot see how the AI drives a new track you don't know yet.

[NaN]

Yeah. It has never been (re)implemented.

[NaN]

I've added camera focus support to master. Feel free to give it a try.

[arturo]

I've pulled the changes and assigned keys but still nothing happens. Does it work for you?

[NaN]

I only did a quick test with 4 cars on laguna seca binding focus to f9/f10, worked just fine.

One thing that would probably be nice to add is binding hud to currently focused car.

[arturo]

I went to Laguna Seca, put four cars in and changed to F9/F10, just in case, and of course nothing happened.

I'm not very familiar with git pull. It said that there were seven objets, but then only two files were changed:
src/game.cpp | 25 +++++++++++++++++--------
src/game.h | 1 +

Am I missing anything?

[NaN]

That should be it. You can run git log and compare with https://github.com/VDrift/vdrift/commits/master

Make sure that you are running your freshly built version.

[arturo]

The comparison went well.

What do you mean by freshly built version? Do I have to compile again or something?

Sorry for asking these silly questions, I'm still learning...

[NaN]

Yes, it is a source code change so you have to compile after pulling.

[arturo]

Now of course it worked. Many thanks once again for your help and patience!

The heads-up display should indeed change focus accordingly with the camera. For what I want it, it would be much useful to see the inputs (throttle and brake) given by the AI.

As an alternative, the possibility of launching a race with just an AI car (and no player) would do. That used to be possible in Torcs.

[NaN]

Both things shouldn't be too hard to implement, mostly changing a few lines of code here and there.

[NaN]

HUD support implemented.

It is quite interesting to watch the ai cars drive (and mess up). I think I'll add player ai driver support too.
