I think they will not because old versions are untouchable when released, like you can't re-release a old version, especially when a bit long time has passedCosmo_Kramer @ 11 May 2015, 04:35 PM wrote: Yes mostly using this version online now ,i have a question though...Is there a way i can move
sound changes that u made in 325 to this version 0131 somehow...
Cause in 325 all of my sound problems were fixed
What do you mean by "install sound changes"? They are a part of an executable file and can't be installed somehow.Cosmo_Kramer @ 15 May 2015, 12:06 AM wrote:yes but i m sure they can upload somewhere sound changes so i can install

I just meant that there were some changes which were reverted back or revised in some future versions as it's turned out that they broke something...

Yesterday we had an amazingly active day for those that were online, so this was a good opportunity to realize what's missing and what's broken in our latest Re-Volt Patch.
As everybody knows, the 0418 fix hasn't been integrated into the official 0330 package yet so some people are still facing the "crash after restart race" bug if they've updated from the official website only. Many people in the lobbies have asked me to request this integration to the developers long ago, I know, but it wasn't worth asking for it until other important issues get fixed too. I think it's about time now, because we'll need it to be ready when more people arrive.
These are the issues that are the most important to be fixed in order to bring some stability to our latest patch. I hope I'm not forgetting any!
- First and most important, the Spectator mode requires fixing. It's completely broken since a few versions ago and it's the most noticeable bug in the current patch. When you choose it, everybody appears standing still but shooting each other, and sometimes one or two players may move while the others don't.
- There is a bug that doesn't let you kick a player when he puts himself as spectator.
- There is a bug that is caused after playing a track normally and then restarting it (the same track) in Reverse or Mirrored mode in multiplayer. The guests see the whole graphics of the track disappear and sometimes they see sky only. This bug can only be reproduced in a real online race, I cannot reproduce it if there's not a 2nd player in my game because it doesn't happen to the Host.
- I think it's time to talk about Multiplayer Options menu, which as stated by the developers is still unfinished up to this moment. I think that the most practical approach to an Options Menu ever made by the RV Team was the Multiplayer menu introduced in Alpha 11.0501 (picture below). It made last minute preferences easier and quicker to be changed when you're in the Waiting Room. The current system, which requires the user to go through many menus back to common options just to change Number of Laps is a definite pain in the neck. I think you should reintroduce the mentioned approach to make our lives easier for the hosts, but this time put Pickups below Number of Laps and above Difficulty since it's more important than random cars and tracks, and maybe add Number of cars / players option.
Multiplayer menu from Alpha 11.0501.
- We desperately need a way to change things like laps and turn pickups on or off without quitting the game. An option to change game settings like Number of laps, number of cars as well, pickups, etc from inside the race.
- Improve the Host Migration so that when the current host leaves the room, he can choose wisely who is going to be the next host instead of just randomly passing the Host to an unexperienced user. Also, add an option to allow him to Terminate the game if he wants everybody to go back to the room at the same time.
- Due to the fact that the official v0330 and the unofficial fixes v0413 and v0418 are the current active versions and we are always in this situation of having many compatible builds in use, please bring back the Version detector that was removed from the Waiting Room probably just because of easthetics some time ago. Having it again will help us hosts and room managers detect causes of problems and see if new users have got the right version for them.
Version detector, at right.
- Add Firewall entries automatically when the Patch is installed or when the game is launched for the first time, like most decent programs do.
NEW FEATURES
- Add a feature to restrict car ratings in online races or add a way to better handle or limit the car choices of the players, to prevent late joiners to even pick Toyeca or their latest Ferrari when they are not supposed to, for example, in a game that is 'Rookie Cars only', or viceversa.
- Add the so requested no-collission mode for multiplayer, ideal for Best Lap Competitions and for Training.
- Add the possibility to add bots in Online Races.
Minors:
- Add an option to uninstall a specific custom track inside the game by pressing Del key on the selected track.
- I discovered that when you press Caps Lock in Waiting Room, TAB doesn't work. Therefore, you can't start the race.
- Fix the bug that makes your car appear with CHT symbol when joining a room set to random cars and the last car you had chosen was a custom car.
- About Objects and Pickups Off. Why are the basketball in Hood, the beach ball in Toy World and the straw ball in Ghost Town still available when Pickups are turned Off? If you turn Pickups Off, it's mainly because you want to play Best Laps or you want to have a deep training session, and when you want to play B3L/B4L, those extra moving objects shouldn't be there ruining your time. They should be disabled like the bottles in Market.
We should start discussing about:
- The creation of a Custom tracks transfer system.
- Online championships system.
- Support for team racing.
- Individual car skins.
- I don't care about offline, but I think the option 'Next track' should be added in offline races too.
Next Track option, as seen in online mode but not in single race mode. [/HIDE]

Are you going to justify that spectators shouldn't be kicked or why are you mentioning that?Abc wrote:it was never possible to kick spectators.
We're talking about stock tracks here. Yes.Abc wrote:are you sure the guests have the track and the tracks have proper files?
You perfectly know it's not "fine" as it is now. A system that gives the Host to any random user in theory decided by ping. A system which, in most cases, ends up giving the Host to a noob that doesn't know what to do as host and this is the problem that we always deal with when a host has to leave. I'm talking about improving the system so that the current host can decide who is going to be the next host when he has to leave, or letting him completely terminate the race if that's the intention. I'm not talking about the game selecting proper users by itself of course.Abc wrote:how the game would know about who is more experienced? its fine as it is now: best connection.
As I said I don't give 2 coins about offline, but that is not a reason for not placing the options properly in both online and offline, or are you going to tell me that you enjoy going back to Frontend just to move from Toys in the Hood 1 to Supermarket 2?Abc wrote:next race in offline is kind of pointless you're trying to make the game pointlessly too accessible for everyone: it's fine the way it always been.
I have to disagree with you about moving objects, as it definitely can be considered as a cheat.Phantom @ 8 Dec 2015, 03:00 PM wrote:NEW FEATURES

Whichever mode you want to play, the track should always stay the same. You should show your best at the exact same track, in the exact same circumstances. If you remove something from the track, it already will be a different track, with different gameplay and different difficulty level.
Still prefer that "C!" stuff for this one as well. If these things will happen using this sign (C!), then I won't have any problem with that, but if somebody will use this function, that won't count as a valid RVR race (I will contact to Irck about this as well, but sadly he didn't answer to my report yet either).}!{enR wrote:"No-collision" mode should also consider only PvP collisions: you can't collide with other players as you simulating "time trial" in multiplayer race, but you still should collide with other objects, even the moving ones!
It should be but it isn't and has never been. Tell me where are the bottles in Supermarket 1 and Ghost Town 2 in multiplayer? Where are the ABC blocks in Toy World 1 when racing online? They aren't. Track difference. Has anybody ever complained about this? Nope. Have we been cheating all these years? I really don't think so.}!{enR @ 9 Dec 2015, 11:41 AM wrote: Whichever mode you want to play, the track should always stay the same.
That is not logical at all, at least if you want to tie them to the Pickups On/Off option and/or for multiplayer only.Phantom @ 10 Dec 2015, 12:50 AM wrote: I'm just asking for a change that is logical and will be almost the same as now, maybe a little less annoying.
Do you like the balls so much in your races that you feel the need for them? There are no reasons for having the extra objects in multiplayer pickups-off races, a mode which is only used by online players who want to give their best in competitions. I would understand your concern if we were speaking about Offline races or if we were speaking about Multiplayer races with pickups On but we aren't. Multiplayer races with pickups On won't be affected of course, as well as single player races won't be affected. And also wait a sec... Do you play multiplayer? And do you play multiplayer with pickups off?Kenny wrote:Either add it as a separate option or ...

Where did you get that from?Phantom @ 11 Dec 2015, 02:10 AM wrote: The idea of disabling extra objects like the abc blocks and the green bottles when Pickups are Off was brought by the developers themselves.
Code: Select all
static long InitABC(OBJECT *obj, long *flags)

If you had read my post in greater detail you would have noticed that I didn't object to your idea of disabling these objects in multiplayer but rather the idea of tying it as an option to the Pickups On/Off option (for multiplayer only).And also wait a sec... Do you play multiplayer? And do you play multiplayer with pickups off?
I think players can give their best with these objects on as well. It was the same since I play online races. I don't see a good reason to remove them from these tracks.Phantom @ 11 Dec 2015, 02:10 AM wrote: Do you like the balls so much in your races that you feel the need for them?
