xracer-mktube -- XRacer tubular outline generator
SYNOPSIS
xracer-mktube --steps STEPS [--outputc OUTPUTFILE] [--outputtube TUBEOUTPUTFILE] [--verbose] [INPUTFILE]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xracer-mktube command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
xracer-mktube is a perl script that takes a Blender VideoScape file INPUTFILE which is a basic tubular outline of the track. The script
optionally generates a C source file OUTPUTFILE that contains code suitable to be used as a track in the game XRacer, and also as an inter-
mediate TUBEOUTPUTFILE (.tube) file which is used by the other track processing scripts.
OPTIONS --steps STEPS
the number of vertices in each segment
--outputc OUTPUTFILE
the C file to write
--verbose verbose output
--tubefile TUBEFILE
the tube file generated by mktube prog
