XRACER-TOOLS(1)

💖 XRACER-TOOLS 💖

okay bestie, we're in section 1 of the general commands manual, and today's main character is xracer-mkmeshnotex. it's a whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

xracer-mkmeshnotex — the XRacer texture coordinates maker, periodt. that's literally her whole job 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xracer-mkmeshnotex [--outputc OUTPUTFILE]  --texture TEXTURE [--texscale
TEXSCALE]  [--rottexture ROTATION]  [--cprefix CPREFIX]  [--verbose]
[INPUTFILE]

like. she takes a mesh, she slaps texture coords on it, she writes you a C file. no cap 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this page is a lil crash course on xracer-mkmeshnotex, because the original program was out here living its life with literally no manual page at all 😭 which is giving chaos, honestly.

fun fact: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution specifically, since the original program doesn't ship with one. so we made one. you're welcome 🎀

now the actual tea: xracer-mkmeshnotex is a perl script that exports meshes with texture coordinates to Blender ✨. here's the glow-up pipeline:

• she takes a simple VideoScape-format mesh file, that's your INPUTFILE
• she adds texture coordinates TEXTURE to it, using a very simple algorithm (she's not doing rocket science, she's doing her best)
• she generates a C source file OUTPUTFILE that contains code suitable to be a scenery object to your track in the game XRacer 👑

so like, mesh in, C file out, scenery slays. iconic behaviour fr fr 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --outputc OUTPUTFILE — the C file to write. this is where all her hard work goes 💖
• --texture TEXTURE — the texture to use. required, bestie, she needs to know what she's working with 🎀
• --texscale TEXSCALE — the texture scale factor, and the default is 1.0 ✨
• --rottexture ROTATION — the amount to rotate the texture, measured in degrees. and listen — currently only 0, 90, 180, and 270 are supported 🙈 so don't get cute with 45, she will not know what to do with that
• --cprefix CPREFIX — the name to use before all C identifiers, so your generated code doesn't collide with anything. thoughtful queen 💜
• --verbose — verbose output. she'll tell you everything she's doing 🗣️✨
