Re: Using Torcs Championship Server in text mode

Thanks for following up!

I made some experiments myself and was able to get text mode working 
with following modifications:

src/libs/raceengineclient/racestate.cpp line 117 comment out following 
line:

//GfuiScreenActivate(ReInfo->_reGameScreen);

src/linux/main.cpp line 173 add infinite loop around ReRunRaceOnConsole():

while (true) {
     ReRunRaceOnConsole(raceconfig);
}

Probably it will break the GUI mode, but it's enough for me at the moment.

Keep in mind, that these are changes in 1.3.4 after applying SCR server 
patch 2.1.
