Top TODO list (some may be included in 2.1.0, some others not):
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note: This material is not yet integrated into our Wiki, but should.
|
|
See http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/speed-dreams, Developers corner.
|
|
|
|
Cars:
|
|
- improve damage management (see Andrews ideas in the the devel list,
|
|
under the title "Thoughts on collision damage").
|
|
|
|
Menus:
|
|
- enable intuitive double-click for "Select/Unselect" action in the scroll-lists
|
|
of the driver select menu
|
|
- new menu for human driver car setup : may be only a reduced set of parameters
|
|
would be accessible first, with default values for others ; some thinking work
|
|
about which go in this set wand which don't.
|
|
- Go on with Brian's XML menu infrastructure :
|
|
* move new guimenu.h/cpp functions Create*, Get*, Load*, Read*
|
|
to a new dedicated source file (guixml.h/cpp ?)
|
|
* rename these functions to be consistent with Gfui API (add a GfuiXML prefix ?)
|
|
* add support for keyboard shorcut XML description
|
|
(with defaults like for F1, F12 ... and also customizable ones).
|
|
* add support for dynamic background image.
|
|
* move the whole thing to a GfuiXMLMenuDescriptor class, for nice access
|
|
to menu properties, controls, objects ... by their name or index (in the XML file)
|
|
|
|
Robots:
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
Program:
|
|
- network gaming - take over Brian's unfinished work, or restart from scratch
|
|
(using graphics data transmission rather than physics one,
|
|
see devel list discussions)
|
|
- as we want to increase the details (cars, tracks, ...), think about better and deeper
|
|
management of the level of detail, filtering-out objects that are not in the focus
|
|
of the camera (if not already done somewhere ?), from a "high" level for close objects
|
|
to a "low" level for very far objects, with 1 ou 2 intermediate distance levels.
|
|
As an example, use the auto-generated 3D wheel model for low levels (decrease its details),
|
|
and the designer-shipped one for high level (increase its details : more round wheels).
|
|
=> rather rewrite the graphics engine from scratch with some modern engine
|
|
like OSG, Ogre3D, Irrlicht ...
|
|
- replay feature - Work in progress by Simon Wood (Mungewell)
|
|
- ABS, TCL, EPS implemented in simuV4 as optional feature per car type
|
|
Can be enabled/disabled by driver/robot in the setups.
|
|
TODO: Enable/Disable while driving as human player
|
|
Test the parameters used by human drivers (Same fo all cars at the moment)
|
|
If needed define car type specific parameters.
|
|
|
|
Other:
|
|
- finish the Mac OS X port (with CMake) : ~95% done. Compiles completely but does not run.
|
|
Plib is the biggest source of headaches. CMake integration still unfinished in that way.
|
|
- think about how to integrate Haruna's fictious racing teams backstories in the game
|
|
(ex: LS1 in 'LS1 team "backstories" (for fun)' devel list post)
|
|
|
|
TODO for 2.1.0 or after (some are current on sdl-port and career branches)
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Cars:
|
|
- create / setup new LMP1 car set (Andrew)
|
|
- complete / setup MP1 (RL = F1) car set (including Formula One by Andrew Sumner,
|
|
F1-torcs by Vincente Marti, and models converted by Xavier from GP4 game)
|
|
BUT: what about Manfariel's F1 2009 models?
|
|
- add petrol, bewy and mf1 to SuperCars set, as proposed by Wolf-Dieter
|
|
BUT: There are still no front-engined cars!
|
|
=> see also discussion on dropping the TRB1 set and reuse its nice models
|
|
in other existing / future sets.
|
|
- check in the Pacejka book to see if the way mu is computed from tire load
|
|
(= tire load sensitivity) is OK (simu V2 / wheel.cpp / SimWheelUpdateForce function)
|
|
- ALL CARS: create LOD models to reduce graphical stress in big-grid races or on low-spec CPUs
|
|
(or worse, both :/)
|
|
- rework the current stock car model to the newer model 'Car of Tomorrow'
|
|
- Hillclimb car with over 800 bhp?
|
|
BUT: Is it fun?
|
|
- increase volume of backfire sound and gear shift sound (OpenAL)
|
|
- implement low-pass filter (OpenAL extensions)
|
|
|
|
Robots:
|
|
- setup USR and Simplix robots for reworked 4WD carset.
|
|
- setup USR and Simplix robots for new LMP1 carset.
|
|
- setup USR and Simplix robots for new Indy carset.
|
|
- setup USR and Simplix robots for completed F1 carset.
|
|
|
|
Menus:
|
|
- Smart 3D view showing the selected car when choosing it
|
|
|
|
|
|
Program:
|
|
- improve command key management in human.cpp (there's 2 arrays indexed
|
|
by the unicode of the keys (!), whereas we only use no more that 25
|
|
different keys ; for the moment, these arrays were limited to 4096 items,
|
|
but this is probably not sufficient in Japan or China ...
|
|
=> we must find a better indexing of these array, to use the really needed
|
|
minimum number of key entries in these arrays (may be with some king of
|
|
indirection ?)
|
|
- Support for 3rd party robots, cars and track. 3rd party robot builders
|
|
should be able to use our CMake macro's, so we need to make some changes
|
|
to these macros and install them in such way that a robot can find it
|
|
during compilation.
|
|
- Done: Implemented simple memory leak detection by overriding
|
|
malloc, calloc, realloc, strdup, free, new, delete ... etc
|
|
in order to save informations about the caller in the allocated block.
|
|
To collect infos about the caller the return address is taken from the stack
|
|
( __LINE__, __FILE__ ... cannot work without changing all the callers code)
|
|
(Solved and tested for VC++, outstanding of MinGW/gcc).
|
|
- introduce human driver assistance features, like Line Assist System (LAS)
|
|
and Instructor's Braking System (IBS) ;
|
|
also improve human skill level management in order to prevent rookie players
|
|
from winning too easily (by limiting car capabilities, and particularly removing
|
|
the extra-grip and replace it by driving assistance) and to scale driver assistance
|
|
availability / capabilities ;
|
|
add also something for preventing you from smashing into the back of the car in front
|
|
(see Haruna's detailed post on the subject
|
|
and associated thread http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=e17477d90904182050lc339f5cy6b4908ed8dc1723%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=speed-dreams-devel)
|
|
- introduce AI vs AI duel tournament mode for casual robot programmers (similar to
|
|
R-TYPE FINAL's 'VS AI' mode); with varying car types, tracks, and robot competence
|
|
- Add co-driver/navigator signals and sounds for dirt and certain road tracks to be
|
|
used in rallying game modes
