grey window in screenpipe #1

Closed liber145 closed 7 years ago

liber145 commented 7 years ago

It is very cool! I had a hard time install torcs scrserver on version 1.3.4. This repository helps me a lot to install the latest version. Well, I still meet some problems. Commands that I used after installation:

$ torcs

The race GUI came out.

$ cd torcs-1.3.7/screenpipe
./IPC_command

A grey window named "Image from TORCS" came out. It remains grey after pressing "P" several times.

$ python screenpipe_client.py
Connecting to server ...

The window "Image from TORCS" is still grey after pressing "P" several times.

Could you tell me how to get the image during the racing time?

Hi @liber145

the screenpipe-directory is a leftover from a previous implementation, that I am not using anymore. However, my repo torcs_ros might be interesting for you. It holds a (imho) nice implementation for interfacng TORCS with ROS. Using it, you can publish not only the current game image, but also all other sensors provided from the scr-server into the ROS-system and use them in your (C++ or python) ROS-nodes for driving.

I hope this helps.

@fmirus Thanks a lot! I will have a try this weekend. :)

@liber145 Have you already tried torcs_ros? Was it helpful for your needs? If yes, can I close this issue? Thanks :)

Sorry for the delay. Recently I am busy with some other projects. I can only turn to torcs after that. Thanks for your response! Let's close this issue.
