Artificial Brilliance: Zig-Zagged with this and Artificial Stupidity.If AI-driven cars don't crash, they're actually very adept with turning speeds and the cornering ability of their vehicles (provided the map's routes are laid out correctly). Part of their tendency to crash is not knowing about the presence of obstacles, so while it might be okay to slide off the road a little bit, it's not as okay when there are big trees lining the side of the road. It also averts Lemming Cops to some degree cars chasing you at higher speeds tend to brake and back off to try and nudge you off the road rather than ramming you in full force. 0.17's traffic cars are relatively competent at following between the lines, signaling, and-as of the latest update-stopping at stoplights in East Coast USA, but they're not perfect, which winds up adding a bit of realism.

I have to temporarily removed Infinality packages from my system just to test out this game.Īnyway, I will not spend more time playing it because it is not my cup of tea.Well, nearly everything, since pretty much every vanilla vehicle with a fuel tank (bar the T-Series) lacks a fuel filler cap for some reason.Being an out-and-out simulator, the developers do nearly everything to prevent this trope from going into play. Somehow it crashes when attempting to initialize the true type font. One more thing, the game cannot start when my system has freetype packages from Infinality repo installed. If anyone interested, I can post it here. I keep a note on what I did in order to compile this game. Most of the game's contents in RoR repo are designed for version prior to 0.4 (the version I built). As it can be seen from the above screenshot, somehow the terrain does not get rendered correctly yet. Or perhaps I have downloaded out-dated content packs. Perhaps I am new to this game, I find it to crash a lot. Otherwise, the original downloaded source and steps as provided by wiki are good for Fedora too.Īttached is the screenshot captured from my F17 64 bit system. For those that are not available in the repo, I only have to modify the CMakeLists.txt or makefile so that the new libs are built and installed in either /usr/lib64 or /usr/local/lib64 in my system. Well mostly, I deviated from wiki when Fedora own repo already has the 3rd party packages with compatible or higher version so I just use yum to install those.

I mostly just followed the build steps provided by RoR's own wiki page. I just want to prove that Fedora system is up to the task to compile this game and it is not an impossible task as mentioned by the OP.
