Claude Skills by carla-simulator

Launches a CARLA RPC server a carla.Client can connect to, working out for itself what you pointed it at — a downloaded/extracted release, a package cooked inside a checkout, or a source checkout run through the UE4 editor — headless or windowed, and shuts it down cleanly. ROS2=1 starts it with the native ROS 2 interface active (--ros2, --rmw=fastdds/cyclonedds/zenoh, --ros-domain-id). Use when the user asks to "run/start the CARLA server", "boot CARLA headless", "launch CARLA with a window",...

Tells you what CARLA on UE 5.5 (branch ue5-dev) cannot do that UE 5.8 (ue58-dev) can, so you do not attempt an unsupported workflow there — no Autoware integration, no ROS 2 middleware choice (FastDDS only), no DLSS or ray-traced-lens camera, no OFPA large-map mount so Town12/13/15 load black, and a few missing World/Actor methods. Also states what is identical, so the ue58 skills can be used directly for everything else. Use when working against a 5.5 checkout, when a ue58 skill's step has n...

Builds CARLA on Unreal Engine 5.8 from the ue58-dev branch using its CMake build system — configure a preset, then build the carla-unreal / carla-unreal-editor / carla-python-api-install / launch targets — with ROS 2, DLSS, RSS and cook-scope options, and the engine-side build of the CarlaUnreal UE 5.8 fork. There is no Makefile and no Util/BuildTools in this tree, so every UE4 `make` recipe is invalid here. Use when the user asks to "build CARLA UE5", "build ue58-dev", "compile CARLA with cm...

Create, migrate, improve, or debug detailed vehicle assets for CARLA using Blender and Unreal, including reference-based geometry, materials, wheels, physics, lights, and runtime validation. Use for vehicle asset authoring rather than ordinary traffic spawning or map decoration.

Gets a custom map into CARLA on UE 5.8 — the four distinct routes and which one to pick — via Util/Tools/Import.py for FBX+OpenDRIVE assets into a source build, CARLA_MAPS_TO_COOK to ship a map inside a package, or client.generate_opendrive_world() for an OpenDRIVE-only map at runtime with no build at all. Covers where imported assets land, why an imported map cannot be loaded from a package by name, and the four capabilities the UE4 skill has that ue58 lacks — standalone asset packages, thei...

Imports FBX meshes into CARLA on UE 5.8 as spawnable props — drives the editor headlessly to import the mesh, derives the prop size from its measured bounds, and registers it in PropParameters.json so it appears in the blueprint library as static.prop.<name>. Handles the FBX unit-scale problem, verifies the result against a running server, and can revert cleanly. Use when the user asks to "import a prop", "add a custom mesh/object to CARLA", "make my model spawnable", or a prop imports but ne...

Imports a pedestrian into CARLA on UE 5.8 as a spawnable, animating walker — imports the skinned FBX bound to CARLA's shared pedestrian skeleton, duplicates a donor walker blueprint and repoints it at the new mesh, and registers it in WalkerParameters.json as walker.pedestrian.<id>. Can also export a shipped walker to FBX, which is how you obtain a rig-conforming mesh to start from. Use when the user asks to "import a walker/pedestrian", "add a custom character", "clone a walker", or has a wa...

Cooks and packages a shippable CARLA server from a UE 5.8 ue58-dev checkout via the CMake `package` targets (shipping/development/debug/test), scoping the cook with CARLA_MAPS_TO_COOK, and inspects an existing package for the failures a green build hides — stale pak/ucas mismatch, missing staged OpenDrive/TM road data, missing post-process profiles, and Town15's uncookable content. Use when the user asks to "package CARLA UE5", "cook a map", "build a shipping server", "make a distributable CA...

Runs the Autoware autonomous-driving stack against CARLA on UE 5.8 over CARLA's native ROS 2 interface — no bridge process. Reports the DDS contract (rt/vehicle/status/* out, rt/control/command/* in), the Autoware-only sensor blueprints, generates the lanelet2 + point-cloud map artifacts Autoware needs instead of an .xodr, and drives the two shipped modes (classical NDT stack, or the camera-only VAD end-to-end model). Use when the user asks to "run Autoware on CARLA", "connect an AV stack", "...

Starts a CARLA UE 5.8 server from a ue58-dev tree — the editor binary in -game mode (the working headless server), the packaged shipping build, or the full editor — with offscreen/nullrhi rendering, custom RPC and streaming ports, and native ROS 2 via the single-dash -ros2 flag. Probes a running server, and stops one cleanly despite the 15-character process-name truncation. Use when the user asks to "run/start CARLA UE5", "launch a ue58 server", "run headless", "publish ROS 2 topics from UE5"...
