Rigs of Rods 0.36 is out!

Finally after almost 11 months!
This release was pretty hard to finish to say the least. I hope you will enjoy the hard work.
It includes many new vehicles and terrains. Some are still in beta state and I thank their authors for allowing me to include them in the release. I hope they will forgive me for the occasional bugs and broken taillights that may arise from the rushed release process. I hope these brilliant vehicles and terrains will encourage more creations for the game.

The new features are numerous, the most visible are:
  • Environment map effects (chrome effects)
  • Shader support (with damage map)
  • Completely new ground friction physics: now more realistic than ever
  • Custom sounds
  • Better support of flexbodies
  • New user interface
  • Files reorganization : now all the files you need to access are in your "My Documents\Rigs of Rods" directory - no more in the Program Files directory.
  • And much more...

Thanks to all the people that helped to the realization of this version.
Special thanks for Box5diesel, Lifter and Sneer for their prolific and very high quality work.
Thanks to Thomas for his very hard work helping me pushing this release.
Thanks to all the donators, volunteers and moderators of the forums.

Note that from now on, the releases will be hosted on sourceforge :
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=252198

Enjoy!

  1. Thanks Pricorde! Wish I could play though, I keep getting error 6 when I start the game. Perhaps something is missing in the installation package?

  6. I'm having a similar problem as Josh. If i try to load any map other than Baker's Farm, i get error 6. This is a right out of the box install. Hope you track down the problem.

  13. I cant even start the game!!

    Can anybody help me?

    It says that "the application is not configured correctly, and will not run. reinstalling the application may fix this problem." I've installed and reinstalled and even re downloaded it like 12 times.

  14. I tried the solution that worked for Chetic. It didn't work, still can only play Grenoble and Baker's Farm. I do like Baker's Farm though. Wouldn't mind being able to use N. Helens again.

  16. For whoever's having the map loading problem, I think I must've missed something on the wiki until just now - try turning off the vegetation for 0.36 - worked just fine for me.
