Release RVGL - Re-Volt remake


I'm am very glad to see the game ported to the Pandora. I really got into that little handheld now...

The current rights holder released the game on GOG once. It was taken down since they sold the game with Huki's patch without asking.
So people don't run into the files of the aforementioned release, I set up this page: http://re-volt.me/rvm/downloads/games#windows-and-linux

I hope this makes it easier for you. I renamed all the files to lowercase so you won't have any problems.
For the future I am planning to remake all the assets so at least those can be released in an open source manner (I even started doing that at some point).

I am really excited! This is the first time the game is playable on a really small handheld. This means that you can take all the thousands of user made cars and tracks with you, right in your pocket!

"3d ultra radio control racers" (possibly the worst title for a video game ever) or for the Germans: "Funkflitzer"
Click to expand...

Cool to see how many people actually know this game. I remade one of the tracks for Re-Volt already (Backyard) and recently started converting the cars as well.
Also, I plan to host some Re-Volt LAN parties in the future (in Göttingen). If you're from Germany, let me know if you're interested and I'll let you know when I plan another one.

We're still racing online. You could definitely get Re-Volt House (open source online racing lobby) running on the Pandora. It would be neat to see some new people!
We're also very active on Re-Volt Live. The community is going through another renaissance at the moment, feel free to stop by!

Good work, thanks a bunch!

Is CD the only way to get this working? It seems like Re-Volt used to be on GOG, but I can't find it anymore...
 
Unfortunately the game crashes at the supermarket track.
I tried both 4.03 and 4.10 sgx drivers

@Eight Bit : I played the Supermarket track earlier and had no issue.
The pndrun_out shows no sign of error (just some typo in the runscript that I should fix, but that will not make it crash). Try to play again without the overclock to see if you have the same behavour?
 
It's just the game that locks up, not my Pandora (which I tested for 14 hours OC at 1250 Hz. with the overclock test utility) and it crashed 3 times on me now while I can play the first level without problems...
When I hold the Pandora button my desktop appears from under the game graphics. What's also weird is that the game seems to disconnect my wi-fi constantly and the network manager spawns a network password window while the game is running. Could that be the culprid?
[doublepost=1457219825,1457219361][/doublepost]Just finished the supermarket level without it crashing on 1Ghz... Still doubt that was it because I'm stubborn ;)

Oh... and I forgot to mention that the track did start before but crashed the game somewhere half-way, past the icy corner part

Finally found my Re-Volt disc and managed to try this on my cc Pandora, runs fine but is a little slow even with my Pandora OC'd to 1000

Looks gorgeous though and I can't wait to get a Pyra and hopefully run this at full speed, until then I'll try tweaking the settings as previously recommended to make it more playable.

Many thanks for this port ptitSeb.


I do have a couple of questions:

Is the 1.2 update required or recommended?

Is there a recommended video driver for the cc Pandora?
 
@Ian J
You can set the view distance per track. For this, navigate to your appdata Re-Volt folder and then open levels/trackname/trackname.inf.
You'll find FARCLIP and FOGSTART (a bit lower than FARCLIP). Set them to something lower and you'll get a few more fps. I could also provide lower resolution textures if you like.
you can also go through all folders and backup all *.bmps and then rename all *.bmq files to *.bmp.

The bmp files are 256x256 while the bmq files are mipmaps with a size of 128x128. Re-volt will use all sizes that are a power of two.

In theory, you could get a few fps out of that (given the gfx ram is the bottleneck)...

You could also include higher resolution textures by scaling the bitmaps up and saving them as *.bmo (512x512), *.bmn (1024x1024), ...

Many file formats are supported (as long as they're still called *.bmp). Some might be faster and smaller than others. I haven't tried that, though.
The game is not really playable competitively with a mere 20 fps.

Re-Volt has some updates that involve the binary only. The game data is untouched in most cases. Re-Volt 1.2 is the first community patch, also developed by Huki. It is the predecessor of RVGL. RV 1.2 is still based on directx and thus only for Windows. RVGL is the most recent version there is.

There are some further patches that fix little errors in 3D meshes and textures, one of them is called Milkfix. Modding the game is a big chapter, I recommend to check out the forums.


Also, don't spend much effort into finding a disc of the game. The prices on ebay are ridiculous at the moment. Boxed copies sometimes go for over 70 bucks... Grab the necessary game data here (already renamed to lowercase for use with this version, music included). There are also some links to the websites of the developers further up the page if you want to support them.

Acclaim released only a few patches for the game. These versions added some new features to the game, for example support for hosting races with custom tracks in multiplayer. These don't run well on modern operating systems.
The last patch released by Acclaim removed the CD check and also the soundtrack which was stored on the CD.

Some launchers for the game evolved, one of which is WolfR4. It allowed players to include more features in their tracks among other things.

In 2006, the source code of the game was leaked (presumably by someone who worked on the Xbox version at Microsoft) and work on Re-Volt 1.2 began a few years after.

Huki and Jigebren did a lot of re-engineering to make the version resemble the original PC release as closely as possible. They did a great job. Now many features previously seen in game launchers were included in the game itself, the game was patched well enough to run on modern OSs. Overall stability has been improved.

The game is based on a very old version of directx which is a problem for Windows 8 and newer versions. For example, there are some problems with the framerate in fullscreen mode.
Rather recently, Huki began working on a full rewrite/port of the game to open libraries like OpenGL, SDL2, Enet, etc. And that's RVGL, a multi-platform masterpiece that stays close to the original game.

Hey all! I've been messing with this for about a week now, and I couldnt for the life of me get the music to work. I could pull the files and run the game on my laptop and it worked fine. I finally fixed it though; it seems the pandora version only supports ogg music? I couldnt play mp3 or flac, even making sure all the names were lowercase.

One issue down, one more to moan about:)

I can't get multiplayer to cooperate. At all. I tried hosting on my laptop and connect, either using local or public ip, and I can join the lobby. Once I start a game, though, my pandora doesn't get the memo and is left behind in the waiting room. Hosting on the pandora lets me start a game, but the client doesnt get a car and the connection times out, evident by my car suddenly careening into a wall on the client's screen. I've noticed something though. The build version the game reports on my lap top is "Build 16.0315a", whereas in my pandora it reports "Build 16.0255a". Could this discrepancy make a difference here?

You definitely need the exact same version on both machines, it usually won't even let you join if you have a different version. You would need two Pandoras, I guess.
I hope they'll sync up the release cycle at some point.
 
I confirm for the mp3, seems like a lib is missing. I added it (I have added also a lib for flac).

I just retried a LAN multiplayer game (between my windows computer runing build 16.0115a and the pandora) and it worked (master was the Pandora).

I'll package a new build soon, with the missig libs added and a not-really-tested-yet build of RVHouse included.
[doublepost=1458646495,1458634362][/doublepost]I someone can test, here is a new package of rvgl, including RVHouse, and with mp3/flac fixed.

*EDIT*: removed link, there is better version on the repo now.

Tested rvhouse; Icons are blank but clickable. I'm able to open a room to get a game going. I'm unable to actually start a game though, since im not sure what to point rvhouse to for an executable.

Im unable to test mp3/flac compatibility. As soon as i found out ogg music worked I gleefully pitched my flacs AND mp3's of the redbook music ;(

(Edit)

I would like to point out that with out the most recent build, multiplayer would most likely be a mess? That might be tedious to maintain, but I can only speak for myself.

Excellent work on the port so far, though! All we need now is a working track editor and it would be feature complete ;)

@turbochop: For RVHouse, the executable would be simply "./rvgl"

No icons? Mmmm, can you have a look in /tmp/pndrun_rvgl.out and see if there is something relevent inside.

PS: About the pandora build, I'm pretty confident it's the most recent, and in par with windows/linux versions.. Huki sent me updates to the multiplayer code (that I integrate), and I think the only thing missing is just the build number that as not been updated.
 
I had a look at the pnd_out, and I noticed it's complaining about a missing file called icui18n, possibly a lib? I don't know if the file has anything to do with the missing icons, nor do I know how to open the pnd to look for myself.

Also, this error caught my eye:

"Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed"

I'm unable to chat, and in fact everyone else shows up as question marks. Could that be due to authentication?

I'm still unable to launch rvgl, even when entering the path to the executable as you specified. Though i'll admit, I'm not very knowledgeable in the how the pandora actually works. Im a casual user, but I'll try my best to help!
Here is the pnd_out. I entered some text in chat before and after attempting to run RVGL.

Click to expand...
The latest version on PC is actually 16.0315, but this is 100% compatible with the Pandora 0225 build. In fact, every build after January is compatible with each other in multiplayer, so this should not be an issue. FYI, the latest rvgl changelog is always available at this link: http://rv12.revoltzone.net/downloads/rvgl_changelog.txt. You can see that the network version was last updated during 16.0115a (look for the "Pumped network version" note). So every version after that is compatible.

The connection timing out was a problem in the initial Pandora release, but we fixed it in the latest revision. Maybe you were not running the latest revision when you tested it? Make sure you have the 0.04 pnd or newer (with my updated network code). Oh, if you installed the rvhouse / mp3-fix pnd, then that's fine.
 
Hi all :)

I finally got RVGL to work ! Speed is decent (~15 - 25 FPS, depending on the track) on my Rebirth unit with OC @ 825 MHz, and all the eye-candy turned off.

@Huki and @yethiel : thanks for your hard work on this project ! I really hope your "re-make" effort will come to fruition !

EDIT: and of course, thanks @ptitSeb for porting this to the Pandora :p

Cheers, Magic Sam
