Issues running on Windows, blank screen no DeepLoco_Optimizer .exe

[nelsoncarshare]

Hello, and thank you for creating this wonderful piece of software. I am very excited, an looking forward to playing with it. I followed your instructions and built DeepLoco for Windows 10. During the build process I ran into and fixed the following issues:

• The path to the Bullet sourcecode had changed. The real path in the library folder is ../Bullet/include instead of ../Bullet3/src.
• Similarly the Bullet libs had the wrong path for the linker.
• The boost libs also had the wrong path for the linker.

With these changes and using VS 2013 I am able to build DeepLoco. However I now have the following issues:

1. In the documentation on your github page you mention that there should be two executables. DeepLoco, and DeepLoco_Optimizer. The VS project only built one executable and the VS solution DeepLoco.sln only appears to create one executable. Am I missing something?

2. When I run the program DeepLoco using the command line below, a window opens up and displays FPS in the corner. I can toggle the commands described on the github page, but the window is pure white, nothing else is ever visible. Should there be something visible?:
   x64\Debug\DeepLoco.exe -arg_file=args/test_args.txt

Thanks again for the time and effort you have put into this.

1. The optimizer app is built by the project in the optimizer library.

2. you need to run the executable from the root directory not x64\Debug. You can try copying the exe to the root and run it from there. Otherwise it won't find the arg files.

Thanks, I will give this a try.

Hi,
I'm facing a similar issue. I'm trying to run the executables on Linux:
(./DeepLoco -arg_file=args/test_args.txt) and I'm getting a white screen with FPS value in the corner.
What should be done to visualize the simulation?

You need to put a space after the '='.

./DeepLoco -arg_file= args/test_args.txt
