Re: tracks

Hello,
The internal representation of tracks does not allow any crossroads, 
since it's not necessary for racing tracks, so there's no tool that 
can allow you to create them.

But, we at the Robotics Institute, at the University of Valencia 
(Spain) are working on an urban simulator based on Torcs, so we 
modified the internal structure of tracks, as well as the track editor 
in order to allow the user to design tracks with crossroads and dead 
ends. We also modified the trackgen tool for generation of the 3D 
model. So we can now create urban tracks (with crossroads and dead 
ends) in a visual way with our modified trackeditor and trackgen, in a 
special track format.
We are currently working on modifying the simuv collision detection 
and other stuff to make torcs (and robots) understand what a crossroad 
mean, so you 
can't actually play with a 'special' track, by the moment, you can 
generate the XML and AC3D files with our tools.

Let me know if you are interested in source or compiled tools.

Greetings
