Hi @rents1977 , sorry about the response lag. Triangle count is a sum of all triangles rendered in the current frame. For performance, it doesn't mean practically anything - even a low tier hardware can process enough of them. Batch count says how many individual "draw calls" (google that...

I've been working on the rorserver for past ~2 weeks and I realized some scenarios are not defined very well. For example: should the server expect the client to close the socket connection, or should it actively close it? Right now both sides race to do it, but coincidentally the server is...

I've (finally!) set myself up a linux box (ManjaroLinux 21.0.5, running in VirtualBox VM) so I can develop the server with confidence. I build with GCC 10.2.0 and connect clients from Windows host. I tried to make the server crash but no luck; the furthest I got is "ERROR|ReceiveMessage()...

I did some cleanups which will hopefully help us get more info from the gdb backtraces: https://github.com/RigsOfRods/ror-server/pull/120

I'm analyzing the crashes.txt from top to bottom. Currently I'm focusing on the first entry: Thread 744 "rorserver" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. [Switching to Thread 0x7fffcaffd700 (LWP 11039)] __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:51 51...

The rorserver crashes awfully often lately. Sometimes it runs fine for 2 weeks, sometimes it crashes 2 times a day. From Tritonas00 on Discord: lets get the facts from start years ago socketw working fine (at least from what mike said) rorserver used to run months without crash then rornet...

I found an excellent resource for ground textures: https://cc0textures.com/. All textures are licensed CC-0, detailed and come with all data needed by our terrn2 shader generator. I'm talking about the "diffusespecular" and "normalheight" combined images, see...

Hi. We have no doc, RoR codebase serves as reference implementation. We also have a Python interface: https://github.com/tritonas00/RoRServerBot/blob/master/RoRnet.py. Anyway, If I should write docs for it, what structure should it have? I'll try to create an outline here: joining a server...

turns out this is a feature... you need to disable "gfx_declutter_map" in console or RoR.cfg. It's on by default.

Hello @SchoolBusDriver71 and thanks for the well formulated feedback. Flares: as a matter of fact, we adressed exactly this in https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2729 Flare groups: also adressed in https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2729 - all 10 custom flare bindings...

Replacing RoRBot is possible but you must use exactly the same filenames/animation names as the default one: - File 'character.mesh' (resources/meshes.zip) is the 3D model (source code) - Material name is "tracks/character" - RoR updates it with multiplayer colors (source code) - if you don't...

(continued) How my modified Blender addon does it: I coded this last year but never published it, it's an extended version of Ulteq's import/export scripts, it adds GUI to manipulate set_beam_defaults/set_node_defaults and also calls it "presets". see https://github.com/only-a-ptr/ror-blender...

Our Truck Definition Fileformat (TDF) (which I call just truckfile) is designed as sequential (order matters), which works nicely in a text editor, but once you start thinking about creating an interactive editor, it suddenly gets ugly. @Max98 is currently struggling with it in rorEditor, I...

Hello. What do you build with? I assume it's Visual Studio - can you send me the Debug log from the Output window please? Also, post your RoR.cfg please.

Name some vehicles which show this and what "stuff" is exactly not working like it used to. Then I can take a look.

Some new developers appeared on Discord chat, so I was thinking of some non-core tasks for them. This came in mind - a new, polished and meaningful minimap. Existing feature: 'Survey map' Old feature, I'm not sure if anyone even uses it. It displays a rendered top-down view of the map, there...

I'm not sure how to continue developing the truckfile format. There are 2 possible approaches: The classic approach: Truckfile is parsed from top to bottom, nodes are generated on-the-go. Named nodes (nodes2) and generated nodes (*wheel*) get numbers assigned. To attach a...

Greetings. At the moment, testing and tuning new mod (vehicle/load etc...) in game is quite tedious proces. You must start RoR, load the mod, see how it does, modify it in external editors and reload in-game. You can reload quickly using "top menubar -> simulation -> reload current vehicle"...

Hi everybody. I can't get myself to work on the v0.4.8 release. RoR is still too glitchy to call 'stable', and new issues just keep coming. To make it worse for me, stabilizing RoR means 'resist the urge to fix any of this stuff' - and by extension, it means "just fix the code as it is, even...

This is an entry point for new RoR developers - it describes how RoR currently works, why it sucks and what I'd like to do about it. The reason to write it down right here right now is this excellent contribution from a new developer ** split to multiple posts because of character limit **...
