Message-ID: <859927141.069176.0@feverish.demon.co.uk> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I've only just noticed, but in the "Driver's email list" bit of the last results my address was incorrect. In the last few weeks I've moved to rob@feverish.demon.co.uk, and not @robwilde as it states. Any email sent to that address will *not* be read, so if anyone's sent me something to that address recently then please send it again. Ralph, and anyone else with a link to that address somewhere, could you please correct it?

I've got BC4.0, so there shouldn't be much of a problem with that. Bear in mind here that, as I've mentioned before, I know very little about C or C++. The compiler produces the following, which I can grasp the concept of, but have no idea how to resolve - Compiling BC_LOWGR.CPP: Error G_VIEW.H 117: Type mismatch in redeclaration of 'TView' Error G_VIEW.H 138: Type mismatch in redeclaration of 'TViewClassical' Error G_VIEW.H 156: Type mismatch in redeclaration of 'TViewBoard' Error G_VIEW.H 165: Type mismatch in redeclaration of 'TView2D' I'm hoping that someone's tried to compile this thing before, had the same problem, and can tell me how to fix it. If it's something that I've done wrong, then I can live with that, but in my defence can I state that no instructions were provided... Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-) rob. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 1997 22:51:50 +0000 From: Robert Wilderspin To: rars@lysator.liu.se Subject: JavaRARS! Message-ID: <859931670.1023935.0@feverish.demon.co.uk> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Ooh, look what I found in /incoming! :-) From first impressions, this is *exactly* the sort of thing we need to get more people involved. I wish that the RARS that I use had a nice interface like that! (BTW, the interface for the Amiga version is also excellent - a Windows version is definitely needed). I don't want to sound like a party-pooper, because I can well understand the amount of work that's gone into JavaRARS, but it doesn't seem to work very well. I really don't mean that in a harsh, "Good grief, that's crap!" sense at all. At the very worst, it's a bloody good start. :-) I'm running it from Internet Explorer 3.01, under Win95. The problem I had was that no car could finish a single lap. It looked as though the curves had a larger radius than they should in the internal representation, so that the oval *looked* like an oval, but the cars were driving on something different. They handled the straights okay, but when they got onto the curves they had to adjust their line dramatically, and suffered massive damage in the process. Warning: bad ASCII art approaching... ** ** *OOOOOO* * OOOOOO * * * * * * * * * * * * * *OOOOOO* * OOOOOO * ** ** Whoa, that's worse than I thought it would be. :-) You need a proportional font for that, by the way. Anyway, if you imagine really hard, the first one is a plain oval, and the second is an oval where the curves have magically expanded. I reckon that the cars are driving on the second. The cars fly off the end of the straights into what they *think* is a curve, but what is in fact a field of grazing cattle. Is that just my version, or does anyone else notice that happening? Maybe I got a corrupt version? rob. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Apr 1997 20:19:35 -0500 (EST) From: Ralph Scott To: rars@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: JavaRARS!

It looked as though Really? Even on the soft dirt, I had many cars survive milwaukee. On the other hand, these aren't the best cars, just the simplest slowest cars that came with the earlier version of rars. > > Maybe I got a corrupt version? I don't know. Try it with netscape on the website. Its worst and hardest to fix flaw is the slow speed. Try the multiple zoomed in windows with autohide. It works nicer with a real fancy track. But I have to code the tracks internally for a java web applet. ---ralph ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Apr 1997 12:01:20 +-200 From: Torben Thellefsen To: "rars@lysator.liu.se" Subject: Back with tracks (was: RE: New e-mail address) Message-ID: <01BC3F5F.67BE50A0@pc-5> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've in fact already made them and will post them tomorrow.
