Re: Changing cars and fuel consumption

I believe there are two ways to change this for the berniw robot.

1. The simpler option (at least for the berniw robot, may not apply to
others) is to add a section to the driver's default.xml file (eg
/usr/share/games/torcs/drivers/berniw/3/default.xml) specifying the
fuel per lap:

  <section name="berniw private">
    <attnum name="fuelperlap" val="3.0"/>
  </section>

Tune the val to whatever seems correct.

2. The other option is to recompile the robot code. The robot
calculates the initial fuel based on a max fuel per meter variable in
the code. For the berniw robot, you can change the value of the
MyCar::MAX_FUEL_PER_METER variable in src/drivers/berniw/mycar.cpp
file and recompile.
