When I first saw the Rooftops 1 preview picture, I already knew that this guys are knowing what they do. And this tracks confirmed this once more. For me, The Fairground tracks are the most impressive pair of tracks since the original Re-Volt tracks were released in 1999. In short: The tracks combin...

Thank you. Yes, I also plan to release winter- and a spring editions of the Hood Frontend. Winter around November, December 2020, and spring maybe in March, April 2021. There will be snow in the winter edition for sure, and it's snowing. You can expect a snowman as well. For the spring version I am ...

https://i.imgur.com/PcRfpjM.jpg I've released an Autumn Edition of the Hood Frontend! The main area and all the camera zooms are exactly the same as in the summer version of the frontend. The differences are the following: :re-volt: Changed colors of trees, bushes and grass. :re-volt: Added shaking...

This was never meant as a project with a plan, but yeah...I made Dr. Grudge and Rotor back then as well. I was not satisfied with the result, so I didn't posted them. But I guess as you are asking now, I can post them anyway. ;) However, there are no instruction manuals nor a detailed brick list ava...

Servus, Wurzel! Online races against you are always fun, it's nice to have you on board.

While working on the Hood Frontend , I found some limitations regarding the customisation possibilities RVGL is offering. It would be cool if some of them could be addressed in one of the next RVGL updates. 1) Make it possible, to define the car drop position at the car selection At the moment, the ...

In the last week I worked on the very first fully functional custom frontend for Re-Volt, using all the possibilities RVGL introduced for frontend customation in the last years. Navigate the main menu through the iconic Toys in the Hood starting area, in the modern version I initially made for the u...

Maybe there are easier or more professional ways to do it, but me as a Blender amateur would do it like this: 1) First, combine all the meshes from your w to one (A in Object mode, then Ctrl + J) 2) Right-Click a face where the first texture page is used, hit Shift + G and choose "Image": https://i....

If someone wondered what happened with my MARVLE project: I cancelled the project earlier this year. But I want to share the files with the community. Maybe someone can use parts of it, or get inspired by it. Feel free to do anything you want with it. https://i.imgur.com/b4nzgXs.png The download inc...

https://i.imgur.com/1Bexftm.png School's Out! was updated to version 1.3! Changelog: + Reduced the amount of moveable objects to avoid multiplayer disconnections + Replaced some moveable objects with instances The next RVGL release will increase the stability of School's Out! in multiplayer games e...

Hello Durtvan, personally I play Re-Volt with a controller since the game came out in 1999. First I used the 1996 version from the Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad , till 2004. When I rejoined the community in 2017 I used my Microsoft XBox One Controller for playing Re-Volt, and it works really good. ht...

This all sounds very good. I like the fact, that OBTAIN 2 can be used for an unlock when beating the custom tracks challenge time. Also the possibility, to set a different OBTAIN for one of the stock tracks is very useful for Total Conversions. :eyes: Regarding backward-compatibility for tracks whic...

This sounds like a good plan, Huki. I think it's OK for custom tracks, when the R/M/RM will be unlocked together with the main track. Looking forward for an implementation in one of the next RVGL releases. :eyes: I missed the Obtain 2 method, cause it's also missing at the Re-Volt Wiki entry . I was...

I've decide to write a small Launcher for MARVLE. At the moment you can only activate the DEV mode through it, but other than that it will manage some other stuff, which I need for the Total Conversion later. Also some starting parameters will be set automatically. Guess this is the most handy way f...

I really like the idea, but I think it should be integrated in the existing levels .inf -file, for example by naming it TTPOS . Other settings like this was added before during development of RVGL ( ENDPOS, CHALLENGE, DIFFICULTY ,...) , and if everyone have the same .inf -file, it cause no CHT tag. ...

just curious, how would a marble from this, play out in normal re-volt? It would work, but it would be also pretty slow. Slower than a Rookie car. I made some more progress today. :) - Fine-adjusted the custom frontend, by adding more cinematic camera moves - Implemented a level selection screen - ...

A possibility to set an OBTAIN code for levels would bring whole new possibilities for creators of tracks or mods. For cars OBTAIN will be used like this in the current version of RVGL: -1 - Unlock with CARNIVAL cheat 0 - Unlocked at start 1 - Unlock when winning a Championship (in combination with ...

You can use the keyboard shortcut Left Shift + F5 , but then not only the names are gone, also the rest of the HUD. Personally I don't know any other possibilities, but maybe someone else have an idea? Before... Shift + F5 https://i.imgur.com/7VRbwDi.jpg After... Shift + F5 https://i.imgur.com/1vaRg...

I've found out one more thing while working on my MARVLE game: Maybe it could be done in the same step, that the CHALLENGE parameter of the stock tracks will also be pulled out of the tracks .inf -files. At the moment the challenge time for (for example) Toys in the Hood 1 is always 54 seconds, no m...

About the artstyle: I think what you showed in the video looks pretty good, but I hope not the entire game will be so dreary (and probably the first level should be more joyous too :P). The art-style you can see at the moment will not be the only one. Each set of levels will have a slightly differe...

It means you can select the sound but not the range and other parameters, which will be zero. So the sound will loop continuously and be audible everywhere (an ambient sound). [...] For now I've decided to simply initialize objects with all 4 flags zero. With this, you can already throw stars in yo...

Yes, I have to figure this out first. At the moment I try out so many stuff. I just have to get myself a feeling what is possible with the frame Re-Volt/RVGL is offering me, and build the game concept around this. Also, I want to find a visual style which I then can use for the rest of the game. So ...

Yes, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the 1980's classic Marble Madness and the 00's game Hamster Ball . But I also will try to bring a lot of my own ideas into the game. At the first levels the inspiration from the games listed above will be pretty big, cause the gameplay will be rather simpl...

I've started with working on a test level, to see which possibilities I have and decide how I can go on.

This is really impressive. I‘m glad you put more effort into this track than you have planned in the beginning. I think this track show perfectly what is possible if you don‘t think too narrow minded and experiment with the possibilities RVGL gives you. Great job as always, Jan.
