Installing Courses:
(for version 0.61)
- Download the course (.zip or .tar.gz)
- Linux:
'cd' to the courses/contrib directory (in where ever you installed Tuxracer), then type one of the following:
- for .tar.gz files :
tar -xvfz filename.tar.gz
- for .tar.bz2 files :
tar -xvfj filename.tar.bz2
- for .zip file :
gunzip -e filename.zip
- Windows:
- Use winzip for either type of file
- courses should be extracted to:
tuxracer/courses/contrib/coursename
If you installed Tuxracer from rpms (eg on Redhat linux), you'll find the tuxracer dir in /usr/share/tuxracer
- Load tuxracer and the courses should be there.
Troubleshooting:
If something hasn't working either Tuxracer will open as normal and not sure the new courses, or it will Open then imediatatly close again. Things to checks are:
- Ensure the course has been extracted to the correct folder. If the zip/gz file didn't have the coursename path in it, then you would have ended up with a load of files in: tuxracer/courses/contrib.
In which case create a directory named after the course, and extract the file there.
- Maybe the course is missing some files; in the course directory there should be a course.tcl, elev.rgb, preview.rgb, terrain.rgb and a trees.rgb files.
- If you installed lots of courses at once, you may not know which one has caused the problem, go back and install one at a time.
