XRACER-TOOLS(1)

πŸ’– XRACER-TOOLS(1) β€” General Commands Manual πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up zone ✨ this is the page for xracer-mktrack, and it's living inside the General Commands Manual section, so you know it's the real deal. let's get into it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

xracer-mktrack β€” the XRacer track generator, aka the lil script that makes your tracks exist πŸ›€οΈβœ¨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

xracer-mktrack --steps STEPS [--outputc OUTPUTFILE]  [--verbose]
--tubefile TUBEFILE [INPUTFILE]

no cap, that's literally the shape of the command. copy it, paste it, don't touch the flags πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so this manual page documents xracer-mktrack briefly β€” just the essentials, the vibe check, the main character energy 🫢

lowkey important tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so yeah, we made one. you're welcome 😌

now the actual plot: xracer-mktrack is a perl script πŸͺ that takes a Blender VideoScape file called INPUTFILE plus a tube file generated by mktube called TUBEFILE, and optionally generates a C source file OUTPUTFILE that contains code suitable to be used as a track in the game XRacer 🏎️πŸ”₯

so: input β†’ tube β†’ optionally a C file β†’ boom, track. slay.


✨ OPTIONS ✨

one bullet per flag, bestie, and every single one is here, no skips, periodt πŸ’…

  • --steps STEPS β€” the number of vertices in each segment πŸ“ literally how many points you're packing into every segment.
  • --outputc OUTPUTFILE β€” the C file to write πŸ“ this is where your generated C source goes.
  • --verbose β€” verbose output πŸ‘€ it's chatty. it tells you things. no argument needed, it just yaps.
  • --tubefile TUBEFILE β€” the tube file generated by the mktube prog 🧡 your tube, courtesy of mktube.
