Confirmed. Retrying SADIST cheat.

[Bug]:
Just download this track, play and you will see

.
Yeah track sucks, but bug also happens on other track, don't remember which (some one (skarma?) made a video of it).
From few track places screen just goes completely black (hud is still visible). You must restart stage again to play, but that happens again on similar place, so its "unfinishable". Also, fps goes extremely low during that black moment.
BTW, it DOESN'T happen on v1.1.

[Edit]
[Another bug]:
Game crashes when trying to load longer than (about) 700metres lego tracks (for example this) at track zone edit mode. As I checked, it crashes on v1.1, v1.2 beta and alpha. Doesn't happen on shorter tracks. Of course, track works normally, but not on Track Zones edit mode. Hmm.. when I looked other one about 620m long (game loaded it) and found lots of track zone boxes (had 99), maybe game crashes because it can't load more and has some sort of *show* limit? Or is just my slow pc?
Btw, it was exported from track editor (tdf file), so it shouldn't be track related.

[Edit2]
[3rd bug]:
Crashes on custom track Opera House without any reason.
Works on v1.1

Game crashed on me after a short time racing it (directly after the part where you can jump on the tunnel).

However when I play it with Re-Volt in window mode I have no problems whatsoever (perhaps a lower framerate than usual but not sure about that since its still quite high).

Posted: **04 Dec 2012, 01:37**

Which was the commandline to make a certain re-volt.exe the default to be launched in RV House?

It was " -reg some other word" but I can't remember, do you? Thx.

Today we are having a series of repetitive crashes because the game tries to load some files in the middle of the online race. The amount of errors is many, one after the other. They are so many that the only way to close the game is by Task Manager.
I took a screenshot of one of them:

Screenshot

The people started thinking that maybe when someone joined with a custom car triggered the bug, situation that generated sort of histeria in RV House trying to find who's the guilty one. Many rooms crashed without distinguish the host: Hil's, Kosztya's, Touriga's, also halo_one's battle, all were crashed by the same person.

Edit:
If this is changeling cheat, some action should be taken to prevent the crash or the error messages, because it's not fair that any race can be pranked so easily like this.

Posted: **07 Dec 2012, 02:37**

That's not a bug but CHANGELING cheat,
Yes, we have a cheater at RV House, I've been affected by this, my game crashed 13 times today

EDIT: we have found the cheater: it's RST

Posted: **07 Dec 2012, 05:47**

He probably used a custom parameter to crash the game on purpose and maybe also edited revolt.exe so it doesn't show as CHT.

I missed the fun dammit.

Posted: **07 Dec 2012, 06:07**

Yup
Re-Volt should have more "check" for cars too, like it does on tracks
it should check and see if car exists before loading ingame (changeling)

Ugh.. weirdly it didn't work. But thanks anyway Vaid !

RV House still tries to load my other revolt installation which is v1.1, so if I want to have a race I have to join by IP from 1102 which is annoying.

Seriously, RV House should have a way to select where to launch Re-Volt from, like GameRanger has.

Now I understand why some track makers who use 1.1 side by side with 1.2 have problems to join online races.

Posted: **08 Dec 2012, 19:13**

"-lobbyregister" command line switch doesn't seem to exist anymore. You could give "-postinstall" a try, but that's one modification of Huki's, so I can't promise it'll give the expected result.

You can still do it by hand though. Just open regedit and jump to the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Applications\Re-Volt". Here you can edit the path and everything else...

or you can replace 1.2 with 1.1 and put 1.2 where you launched 1.1 (must be same dir)

i have developed a batch:

@echo off
ren revolt.exe revoltexe
ren revolt-.exe revolt.exe
pause
revolt -sli -alpharef 1
ren revolt.exe revolt-.exe
ren revoltexe revolt.exe

I don't know if I should be happy or sad for the following, but please watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J666iNQPJuI

If you look at bottom-right corner it clearly says v1.2 Beta.

Is WeGoInteractive stealing v1.2 Patch to integrate it into their "Re-Volt 2012"?

I'm sorry, but I can't be happy if they're trying to make money with other people's work, Huki's and Jigebren's in this case, and all the people who collaborated with suggestions or fixes. At least they could have hired Huki & Jig or something to continuing the progress together.

Posted: **15 Dec 2012, 22:40**

1) How did you get to that video (and what makes you think it's coming from them)?

2) It doesn't necessarily mean that they are really using the current 1.2 beta (maybe they just used the same version name (I know that's unlikely but still...)) or maybe they are just using it temporarily for a showcase.

3) Even if they used the beta, as long as they don't have the source code from the beta, they can't continue on their own.

4) To me it just wouldn't make sense if they really decided to use the beta/alphas, they have the game's rights and even developers to work on the source so why not fixing the bugs from the original one themselves?
I mean of course huki/jigebren fixed quite a few bugs and even added some great stuff but to be honest, most of that stuff shouldn't be difficult to do (or even take long) for guys who do that for living and not in their free time for fun.

Posted: **16 Dec 2012, 12:46**

How did I get that video and what makes me think it's coming from them?
Well, first of all it got to my YouTube feed today because I'm suscribed to that channel.
I'm not saying that the video is coming from them, but the gameplay (probably uploaded by a korean player) shows a Re-Volt version which first loadscreen is clearly modified:

Sorry but I'm not so naive to think that a common user from Korea would edit the BMPs loadscreens and write © 2012 WE GO INTERACTIVE CO., LTD. What's the point?
I'd believe if that gameplay was recorded from a Re-Volt version distributed in Korea or from an ad.
And moreover, when it reaches the cars selection it says something in korean about 42.
If you remember well , 42 is the total number of cars containing in the iOS release made by WeGo. This is clearly some sort of advertising.

With all these coincidences I still have to say that the video has nothing related with WeGo? C'mon. What kind of weird game is this ppl?

If they want to make a release for PC, they need the Beta at least or a brand new version, because the Re-Volt left by Acclaim which they legally own is useless for re-release for being incompatible with newer operative systems.
The use of the 1.2 Patch would be an easy-go for them at this moment, unless they're making a top secret new version that will amaze us all, but that's pretty much unlikely according to what we saw from the iOS release (just a DreamCast port to iPad/iPhone without major improvements).

----
On another hand, according to an article from a german site I found, WeGo is cooperating with the korean electronics LG to make Re-Volt an app for LG's Smart TVs:

But in the video there are still the usual 28 carboxes to see. Why would they advertise for 42 cars when there are clearly some cars missing? My guess is that they show off the "community version" and announce what they will be improving in "their version" but some things are still unlear to me.

Phantom wrote:With all these coincidences I still have to say that the video has nothing related with WeGo? C'mon. What kind of weird game is this ppl?

I don't say it has nothing to do with them, I'm just saying we shouldn't make any premature assumptions before accusing them to be using a community made patch for their advertising.
Besides the video looks overall very cheap, it's practically plain game footage with some after edited (asian) video text, you can even see the fraps watermark on top.

Why would they need the beta? The release they have isn't useless (unless they only have the console source(s) and not any PC source), it just requires a few (easy) modifications to make it compatible again with nowadays systems (and they would end up with the same footage as seen in the trailer).

Phantom wrote:..but that's pretty much unlikely according to what we saw from the iOS release (just a DreamCast port to iPad/iPhone without major improvements).

Doing a port isn't an easy thing to do but considering it took them almost more than 2 years for that (not exactly sure when they started porting) it's true that they didn't accomplish much.
[offtopic]Btw did you hear about the recent patch for the iOS version? In-app purchases for instant unlocking cars/tracks and clockwork mode, so basically they charge you for using cheats

That actually doesn't surprise me as they announced it some time ago on RVL (I think) and Smart TV's seem to be pretty popular in that part of the world so why not?

If your hardware has more than 1 video device, game should let you to choose it in video options (near resolution). If not, then try to set (nvidia card) as default for all games in Windows and/or nvidia control panel options.

I heard exactly the same from other people testing in Windows 8. "Re-Volt works but very low fps".

I know Abc made some tricks as ussual to finally make it work but first he claimed that it was too slow for a few weeks.

Confirmed, revolt WORKS on windows 8

Thanks for all the feedback. I've taken care of most of the reported issues so I'm already releasing a new update. Download the new Alpha release 12.1225 here (changelog).

The controller limitations for split-screen were removed, so you'll be able to assign the Keyboard to players 3 and 4 too (but note that they won't take predefined keys, you'll have to configure them manually).

That one's fixed too.

BTW, it DOESN'T happen on v1.1.

That usually happens when some of the objects in the track have bad values and it breaks the code (not sure why it doesn't happen in v1.1). In this case there was a toy copter object with it's range set to zero. Anyway, I've updated the copter code now to handle these cases so it shouldn't freeze / crash with the latest release.

Yep, there is a limit.. re-volt can't handle more than 128 zones in edit mode (there is no limit in normal mode though). I've increased the limit now.

I see.. yes the Changeling / Joker cheats were never safe to use with custom cars. The latest release will simply use Mystery car if a rogue player changes to a custom car. Of course, it's still recommended to keep Abc away from your room.

and what about sharing .inf file data like revolt does with parameters(cars)?

He may have a reason for -dev. I am forced to use it, too, because the combination of my computer + windowed mode + freaky integrated video card + freaky mouse drivers is impossible to play otherwise.
Mileage varies sometimes.

Since Abc essentially is asking for the removal of a quite useful feature (trackmaking-wise), I would still agree with Vaidux though. no matter what it is used for, -dev mode is not intended for the pure purpose of racing, at least this is my opinion.

make a -dev only "DEV settings" menu entry in options and put there ALL dev things, including rendering things
