Speed Dreams Community

Hi guys, been playing this game, it's rather good but I have a problem. I downloaded berniew's robot thing, but I have no idea how to implement it in the game so cars can race using it. Also, I'm playing on a netbook so the screen is smaller. When I race, the tools at the bottom of the screen are cut off, so I can't see the bottom of the leaderboard etc. Can anyone help me?

Hi,

Berniew's tutorial is not compatible 100% with Speed Dreams, but provides a thorough overview what a robot should do. I would point you to observe the source code of existing robots, namely simplix and usr. You can find the code here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/speed- ... rc/drivers

Screen size: on the main menu, select Options/Display and select a different resolution from the first control.

Cheers, but how do I get the robot "into" the game so I can race with/against it?

The robots are loadable modules/DLLs which are detected when the game starts, they are located in (for Win32):
C:\Program Files\speed-dreams-2.0.0\lib\drivers

This is the 'engine' which enables the robots to drive, there is also a batch of data files which determine how that 'engine' actually drives on the track, normally here:
C:\Program Files\speed-dreams-2.0.0\data\drivers

So if you want a new robot then both these directories need entries. Normally you would place the code the for driver in the source and compilation would handle installing appropriately. There are a couple of robot guides here in the forums which explain how you can fine tune the data files to improve driving performance.

Not sure what "berniew's robot thing" includes, do you have a link?
