π DESCRIPTION π
so this manual page documents, briefly, the xracer-mktrackscenery command. quick lil overview, no essay required.
this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. not me writing the docs nobody else wanted to write π we do what we must for the community. periodt.
xracer-mktrackscenery is a perl script πͺ (yes, perl, she's an icon, leave her alone). what she does is:
- takes a Blender VideoScape file,
INPUTFILE, and a tube file generated bymktube,TUBEFILE - and optionally generates a C source file
OUTPUTFILEthat contains code suitable to be used as a track scenery in the game XRacer β¨
so basically: feed her a VideoScape file and a tube, and she might hand you back C code that the game can actually use as scenery. main character pipeline behavior, honestly π
