RoR 0.29
The new version is out!
- Tons of new trucks (an Agora S bus, a huge Liebherr crane, a port crane, a police car and the Caliber contributed by mcreed).
- Performance improvements (but no more replay mode)
- Improvement of the airplane aerodynamics, that has a smoother handling at lower power setting. Also retractable gear (F3/F4) and automatic differencial braking to help taxiing.
- Special effects on the airplane (press M to see the light show)
- Enhanced fixed camera view for airplane, and the possibility to have multiple cameras aboard a vehicle (currently on the Liebherr crane you can sit in the driving cab or the crane cab, and also in the Agora L you can sit in the back of the bus and drive! Press C multiple time to switch between cameras)
- Joystick configuration bonanza: you can simultaneously use a wheel for the trucks and a joystick for the plane.
- Fully manual clutch mode: press Q two times, and prepare to stall! Note that you must depress clutch to shift, as in real life. You can use an analog joystick for clutch control.
- Lots of bug fixes and enhancements (upgrade of Ogre version from 1.2.0 to 1.2.3).
Enjoy!

13/10/06 16:12
the new version is soooooooo much faster!!! ;)
13/10/06 20:25
when you edit the police car it comes out with truck sounds and then the trucks will not have any egine sounds.
13/10/06 21:51
The editor is not up to date and does not "support" some new options, and destroys them when saving.
I suggest you to use the editor only to modify the nodes and beams sections, and copy/paste them into the original file in replacement of the old nodes/beams (I usually use it this way to do my new vehicles).
13/10/06 23:10
Hey pricorde, I am starting to code and template the Indie Games section over at my website and your page is http://www.zpgamez.com/IndieGames/Pages/RoR. Just thought I'd let you know, the whole thing has to be PHPed together and the template is under construction but there it is.
13/10/06 23:31
0.29 works great.
And it runs with no problems in windows vista! :)
14/10/06 00:18
w00t, new version, downloading now!!!
thanks pricorde u amase me every version!!
14/10/06 11:41
Thanks! To the petercopter!
14/10/06 14:06
hm why did the replayfunction doesnt work? ..im hittin "J" nothing happens :/ , whats wrong with it?
14/10/06 15:25
READ!
14/10/06 15:57
pricord turned it off :( i didnt really like it, but i could stop the plane in mid-air if i had to go pee :P
14/10/06 18:24
Thanks Pricorde for this new version. I'm wondering if there is a key on the keyboard for the manuall clutch though.
14/10/06 23:20
I found it myself, it's the left shift button.
15/10/06 00:02
I love this, THANK YOU! :D
15/10/06 01:49
Can i play RoR when i haven't any internet?
15/10/06 13:59
The only internet use you need is to download it, after that it's fully offline use :D
15/10/06 15:22
Improved airplane and new machines are great! Big thanks! Keep up good work!
15/10/06 19:08
Pricorde:
Do you think you could compile the software without the menu to select what options you would like (the thing that requires the visual C8 runtime) and just have the game start. I might be able to get it to run under linux emulated if you do so.
And if you can't tell by the name. I only use linux. so without it on linux i cannot play your awesome game :-(
Thanks
16/10/06 05:20
Pricorde will do the work to get it to Linux, but before he can, he needs enough people to donate so he can buy the hardware needed for the job in hand.
16/10/06 08:16
wooh this is great ! -nothing more neaded to be said.
thanx
16/10/06 15:24
Hi the manual clutch would be great, but is there a way to invert it? It works inverted for me, when I press the pedal then it is relased.
16/10/06 18:38
Seggons, if Pricorde gave me the Src i would try and compile on my linux machine
16/10/06 19:11
But if Pricorde does do it, everyone gets a level or support, improvements and bug fixing. And everyone knows that Pricords a great coder so people with a Linux/Mac machine know they are going to get a decent product.
16/10/06 20:56
I do agree he is a great coder, but for the interm it would be nice if i could just emulate it. cause im almost certain i could emulate it without that menu. That menu causes cedega to crash even after getting the correct DLLS to open it (the vccr.msi or whatever it is won't install so manual install of DLLS is needed). If anyone can convince him that would be awesome, this is one of the most entertaining games i have ever played :-)
16/10/06 22:54
O and i forgot on thing, im not old enough to donate... but i would like to help out in any way possible
16/10/06 22:54
Would'nt it better to wait for the real thing, reather then emulating it and getting a poor performance and having to settle for 2nd best?
16/10/06 23:30
V. good, is is really v. good. 2 probs though: the smoke coming out of the aeroplane is unrealistic-less smoke please, and the suspension bridges on both maps are too bendy! Thanks anyway-it was great! Keep it up!
17/10/06 09:07
Too much smoke? Its not a bug, its a special "feature" of the engines of the Antonov 12, the Ivchenkos pour a lot of smoke in real life:
http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0524710/L/
Note also that in real life, full power is rarely used (only on takeoff and for a limited time).
The bendyness of the brige will be resolved once I will add a "settling" feature.
About Linux: a linux version is on its way (thanks to a donator), I have installed Ogre on a Gentoo yesterday and I will be able to start porting soon. In theory, the only non-portable lib I use is for the joysticks (DirectInput) so the porting should be quite straightforward in theory.
17/10/06 13:55
OK - I suppose. It's just sometimes it blinds me and puts me off the take-off. oh well. but i still love the game. I do have one other problem though - the crane next to the boat on N. St. Helens never wants to get started for me - all i do is put the ignition to 'on' then hold down 's' (the starter button), and once it gets up to 3 or 4 revs it starts for 1 second or less, then cuts out! not sure why, though. has this happened to anyone else? if so, please let me know. Thanks - hope the bendyness of the bridges can be solved soon!
17/10/06 17:28
Yo smithy! it's me! The bridges don't wobble as much on mine, don't know why, but I do agree that there needs to be less smoke on the plane. It also needs a bigger cargo hold and sharper steering so it can actually taxi ONTO the runway but other than that, I can't fault it!
17/10/06 18:57
P.S. Dear Pricorde, this game is probably the best one I have ever played, I was origionaly trying to find a car driving simulator when I was told about ROR, I downloaded it and it and I was amazed. Just as a thaught for later versions, could you make A.I. traffic that is optional and some cars to drive? (no pressure);) Keep up the good work! :)
klay king
17/10/06 19:05
Yup, klay king (?) but as long as you don't put the plane onto full power straight away, it'll go onto the runways. And also, the front wheel on the plane could be stronger - even if you land on the back wheels, braking causes it to break! It's annoying! But yes, a bigger cargo hold would be helpful. Yes, Klay King it is an amazing game. But, too many cars spoils the point of the game - one's enough! Trucks rule! But A.I. traffic would be cool too, but I can't stand too much! Thanks, Smithy.
17/10/06 19:11
Calling all designers! Does anyone have any custom planes, cars, boats or trucks. If so, please reply to this with a web adress that we can copy, and the authers name. We will judge them and declare our favourite designers! We are also judging any scenery that resembles a town or city with roads and houses.
17/10/06 21:34
Maybe a web address to this said competition?
17/10/06 21:50
What adress?
18/10/06 08:28
The web address to this compertion your running, so at the end you can show everyone the winner on the site.
18/10/06 19:09
I am announcing it on the latest post, so keep reading these. If pricorde has made a new post then I'll add it on there
19/10/06 07:19
Why are you making your own site? there is allready one? i made it!
19/10/06 21:33
I have NOT got my own site! I am posting it on a comment like this one! ): (
19/10/06 22:09
What? you just said you are making a site where you can vote?
19/10/06 22:51
Dan, man, read all the posts before posting.
The cult said he was doing a little compertition to judge the best truck. I asked for the internet address to the compertition and there isn't one. He will post the winner in here or in the latest new comments.
19/10/06 22:59
Thank you seggons! :P
20/10/06 07:20
youv don the articulated Agora-L and the Agora-S why don you do a dubble decker aka Agora-DD
20/10/06 08:53
bravo
20/10/06 13:28
One little suggestion. The police car should be less rigid, it feels like a rubber ball, when you chrash it into something. I'm trying to make it softer,
but I always end up ruining it :)
20/10/06 21:15
Any mods yet? ..
~~
20/10/06 23:20
HOW ABOUT LOOKING?

24/10/06 22:26
is there no way to copy some post
some data is not nessery but the rest
or (this is mayby the best idee) use at the begin both forums and if the one does not use for more than a mound
than delete it or what you want to do whit it
24/10/06 22:48
No it should not.
Why do I say no?
Because for 1 its not your forum its Jamies and how he wants to run the forum is up to him. and 2 the forums fine as it is, it has all the sections we need, the basic funtions we need and is alright for what we need.
If Jamie wants to change the forum software, then go ahead because as far as concerend, its his to manage, not your Haribo kid.
24/10/06 22:48
Thats the porblem, Jamie hasnet logedin for ages. anyway, the old one would stay open for the archive benefit
25/10/06 00:40
No No and No again. I know im not a voice for everyone but this is what I think. I don't care if Jamie does not log in again, its still his forum. Its not yours Haribo and is not yours to decide what happens to it.
Fine, open a new forum of your own. But just leave Jamie's forum how it is and give your administrationship to someone else.
25/10/06 19:04
I agree with seggons. let jamie do what HE wants with the forum.
25/10/06 19:11
i dudn't choose to be an admin i was made an admin, and since proboards is rubish you are right
26/10/06 05:00
i know, but i can't tell you becuase you are in a bad mood
26/10/06 05:05
cant tell us what?
26/10/06 06:22
And whos in a bad mood? Another suggestion, would this be better on the forum as it has nothing to do with Rigs Of Rods?
26/10/06 08:26

26/10/06 16:39
mac dood: i CAN'T LOGIN TO THE FORUM.
and i just realized, i was so absorbed by this holiday, i meant site not forum :P
the cult of ror: 0.0 big list!
26/10/06 17:52
can someone tell the people on the forum:
THEY ARE GONE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
UPLOAD!
26/10/06 18:04
just so you know, the truckstop is down
26/10/06 19:25
Thanks. Now that the people know who the winner is, we will slink back into the shadows of rod's rigs basement untill we err... dunno! bye
27/10/06 13:01
DOES anybody want to help make the new site? i need some people with php knowlage to help :)
27/10/06 20:57
i do REALLY want boats in the game!! =D
should't it be nice to drive around with a big diesel container ship? Build ships with propellers and rudders, paddlers, turning propeller, etc....my dream! =)...
with the physic motor he has i dont think it would be so difficult to add..=/
28/10/06 16:55
Mopaz, I recently tried "Ship Simulator 2006" and it makes me thinking about adding ships indeed.
28/10/06 17:37
Good job with the Linux version. =) I agree with the idea of sailing a container ship about. The could be good fun. Little tug boats too.
28/10/06 18:56
WOW! =D it would be sooo cool!
have an extra flag on nodes that floats or something...and propellers like wheels, with different "rising grades"...well, you are the expert! i hope you can make it! =) and sooon!
BTW...I LOVE YOUR "GAME"!
28/10/06 18:58
im not an expert but isen't it eysier to add boats than airplanes? =/
28/10/06 19:00
No, airplanes are simpler because the local forces depends on simple geometrical factors (wing surface and angle of attack) of a simple abstracted element (a wing section) with precomputed, well known, airfoil performance.
Boats are harder because you have volumetric-dependant buoyancy forces, and above that you have hydrodynamic forces that depends on the precise shape of the boat, and all this must be computed only for the part of the boat underwater. That's geometrically tougher.
28/10/06 21:57
yhy cant you just make a prop that wont spin the boat? we can do the rest
29/10/06 00:22
ok...but you are the master! =)
do you think you can do it?
29/10/06 12:15
good to see it works on linux, gl!
29/10/06 14:28
MAC COMES SOON! :D
29/10/06 20:49
If there is a mac version and Linux version, some people must of been really kind and donated loads. Unless there is alot of "fans" that just look at this blog and play the game.
29/10/06 23:15
Hey! dad wouldn't let me buy pricord a mac mini. so dont just say i look here and play >:(
29/10/06 23:47
Sorry I phrased the above wrong. What I ment was there must be a huge fanbase to this game that dont go onto the forums, because alot of the people on Jamie's forum said they were unable to donate, yet Pricorde still managed to hit his target.
30/10/06 00:03
there isnt a mac yet, i was just saying it wouldnt be har to port to mac once it runs in linux :)
30/10/06 06:14
Oh I see :p
30/10/06 08:01
have you made any progress in the developmet yet??? =)
release date of a new version?
31/10/06 21:27
release date is...
When It's Done!
1/11/06 20:39
=D
1/11/06 22:25
:P
2/11/06 03:08
urmysin:
I downloaded this game and I love it! I played it until my arm went numb :-) I would donate you some funds if I were over 18 for now I will have to wait :-) Thanks for the kewl game its great!
3/11/06 17:54
Hey this game is awesome but when it goes to 0.3 or 0.29b plz add LAN or online support.
