It includes many goodies:
- Boats, with a small wahoo, a Class 1 speedboat contributed by cdquicksilver, and a very large high sea tug, the Smit Rotterdam, that has a rollable platform.
- A new terrain, called "island", that is still under construction but that will soon replace the two classic RoR terrains, because they are not realistic islands.
- Infinite sea with waves. Take the Smit and sail far from the island: you will encounter high swells offshore. You can even configure the wave fields (see the data\wavefield.cfg file).
- A separate configurator program. Now you must start the RoRconfig program first, to choose your configuration options, save them, then start RoR. This configurator adds more joystick configuration options.
- An experimental shift stick mode that uses a force feedback joystick to simulate the grid of the gearbox. (see the readme)
- Serious bugfixing: camera shaking has been dramatically reduced, and the "crash on plane crash" problem is mostly eliminated.
- Addition of the Challenger car contributed by hemicuda.
Remember that all this is a hobby for me, and my free time is very limited so be patient.
I'm also searching for a good, pro bono, 3D artist to help me to overhaul scenery objects (to design a master texture and model small cities and villages) contact: pricorde-at-rigsofrods.com.
Enjoy!
Edit: The RoRconfig configurator crashes when no joystick is present. You can try to replace it with this fixed version. Comment here how it works, I'll add it to the official package tomorrow (have to go to bed!).
Looks Great pricorde.
ReplyDeletePlease report any problems here.
ReplyDeleteRorconfig.exe crashes on startup, also if you add in the ror.cfg and ogre.cfg files from 0.30 to the 0.31 folder the game works, to an extent. Once I got into the game using that method I found that boats cannot be loaded from the garage without the game crashing, the same happens when you approach the boat on the shore in the Island level.
ReplyDeleteOn a separate note, if you drive a car out to sea (The AE86 in my case) it's not effected by the giant waves, and drives as if it's on an infinite flat plane.
Also, I'm interested in making buildings for you pricorde, I was contemplating doing it before you posted the request and had also already started on some new roads.
Dang!
ReplyDeleteDoes rorconfig starts if you put the old 0.30 ror.cfg and ogre.cfg in the 0.31 folder?
Are there any error messages?
Can you post the end of the ogre.log file generated after a rorconfig crash ?
(c--b, send me an email so we can talk about buildings)
Well, I just tried running vccrt.msi again, and suddenly the boats don't cause the game to crash. Also, the Wahoo drives around in circles, I can't seem to go in a straight line :P
ReplyDeleterorconfig.exe still won't work though.
maybe the boat problem is because you don't have controls for the boat set up (since rorconfig didn't work)?

ReplyDeleteObviously you may not have the same controllers so you need to change them. Try using the 0.30 for the controls names...
This is the end of ogre.log from Donken after his rorconfig crashes. That was BEFORE he got/made the cfg files.

NOTE: for me the rorconfig works ok, those log snippets are from Donken.
A few notes:
ReplyDelete-boats crashing when activated is really weird
-cars not moving with waves is normal (its an optimization)
-vccrt.msi is the same as usual, you do not need to run it if you had 0.30 running
-invisible wall in the sky? that's impossible
Going toward the FIX:
I made a verbose debug rorconfig.
-Get it at http://pricorde.free.fr/ror/rc/rorconfigdebug.zip
-Replace rorconfig.exe with the new one
-Delete ogre.cfg, and create an empty RoR.cfg file
-Launch rorconfig (and watch it crashing)
-open configlog.txt and post its content here. Also tell what is your Operating system and how many joysticks you have (and how many axises)
I'll try to locate the problem ASAP tomorrow. Sorry for the bug...

detach the controllers and try out for yourself :)
ReplyDeleteTested without controllers attached and got the same result than c--b.
ReplyDeleteWith at least one controller it works.
It's good that now it seems we've found the cause of the problem so Pricorde can fix it. =)
Oh and I noticed that if you make an empty file called ror.cfg the debug rorconfig will write to configlog.txt:

ReplyDeleteYou got it. I fixed this problem (see the post update). Thanks for your help!
I'm just happy I did my part. :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, is there still only one axis for hydros or can I define more? Just wondering about the 'Hydro F1-F2', etc rows in rorconfig. I could really use more hydro axis' in my RoR-copter. I'm already using commands with joystick but in my case it lacks the precision/speed of a hydro. :)
Cheers :)

I've got a bug going here...
ReplyDeleteI have a Saitek Cyborg 3D USB joystick.
The bug seems to be in the configurator. Under the joysticks tab, the top axis is the forward/backward axis on the joystick. So I set that Throttle + Brake. The next axis down is the steering axis. When I set that one as Steering, the setting above (Throttle + Brake) goes back to none. Its the same if I configure the steering axis first, just vice versa.
Anyone else have this problem?
You're right!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 controllers,
first (joystick) one has 4 axis,
in RoRconfig they show in this order(top-down): X,Y,throttle,twist
It doesn't matter what I select in either X or Y, the other one of those two always goes to 'None'. Even if I select 'None' for X-axis, the Y-axis goes to 'None'.
The second controller (wheel) has 3 axis,
they show below the joystick's axis' in this order: X,Y,twist. Same problem here; whatever I select for either X or Y, the other one goes to 'None'.
Looks to me like it's a bug handling the first two axis' for each controller connected to the computer...
You can probably go around it by editing the cfg file manually...
ReplyDeleteYep thats what I ended up doing. Works fine now though. Now its time for me to see if I can load some nodes on the flatbed trailer to keep it under water the its "boat ramp adventure time" :).
ReplyDelete"The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound as a wave broke over the railing..."
lol love the game (havent tested yet but no need to test to know its great :D)
ReplyDeleteeverytime u make us wait the game gets so much better!
i wonder how ror would evolve if we would wait a year for a next release :p
Any plans on the Linux version? :D
ReplyDeleteHey
ReplyDeleteGreat game, been playing it for some time now.
I have found some bugs:
No sound option:
When i choose no sound in the rorconfig.exe and runs the game there is still sound.
Dashboard:
When I have been in a boat and press "r" to get to the rescue car, the dashboard in the bottom of the screen still display to boat controller and the spedometer from the boat.
