XRACER-...R2TRACK(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

xracer-blender2track — ok so bestie, this one generates a XRacer track from a Blender exported description file 💖

Manual page name, for the record: XRACER-...R2TRACK(1). Yes the title got squished in the corner, we're folding it in here instead, no biggie 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xracer-blender2track [ --verbose ] [ --silent ] [ --only-scenery ] [
--track-height=TRACK_HEIGHT ] [ --track-depth=TRACK_DEPTH] [
--track-expansion=FACTOR ] [ blender.export ] [
OBJ,TEXTURE,TEXSCALE,ROTATION [ ... ] ]

xracer-blender2track help | ?

That second line is literally the whole vibe check: you either run the thing with flags and files, or you ask for help / ? and she tells you what's up. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So xracer-blender2track is a perl script 🧚 — and what she does is take a track description file that you exported from Blender with the help of the xracer-blenderexport Python module. That's the plug, that's the collab 🤝

And then she pops out a C source file ✨ containing code that is suitable to be used as a track description in the game XRacer 👑

Like. She's the translator. Blender speaks Blender, XRacer speaks C, and our girl is the group chat in between. Iconic behaviour fr fr 💖

🦋 OPTIONS (as listed, verbatim, no cap) 🦋

The original page keeps it lowkey and doesn't drop a whole paragraph on each one, so here's the roster exactly as she's written, and I'm not gonna invent lore that isn't there 🫶

• --verbose
• --silent
• --only-scenery
• --track-height=TRACK_HEIGHT
• --track-depth=TRACK_DEPTH
• --track-expansion=FACTOR

And the arguments she takes:

• blender.export — the track description file you exported from Blender
• OBJ,TEXTURE,TEXSCALE,ROTATION [ ... ] — that's an OBJ, a TEXTURE, a TEXSCALE and a ROTATION, comma-joined, and yes you can pass more of them, hence the [ ... ] 😌

Plus the little lifeline:

• help | ? — ask nicely, get answers 💅

⚠️ Heads up bestie: that's genuinely the entire options list from the original page. Nobody's hiding extra flags from you, and I'm not about to make any up. Slay responsibly. 🙈

👑 AUTHOR 👑

This documentation for xracer-blender2track was written by Filip Van Raemdonck (mechanix@digibel.org) for the Debian prepackaged version of XRacer. 🎀

And here's the tea: it is uncertain which of the persons listed in the AUTHORS file distributed with the XRacer sources has written the actual script. 👀 So credit where credit's due, we just don't know exactly where, and we're not gonna guess. Periodt.

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💖

Cute sign-off time: this beauty landed in the world 2025-01-25, and she rides with perl v5.40.0 — love that for her 🌈⭐🍓
