[atari_afternoon]

Thank you

Anyway, waiting for some feedback, especialy for Rebirth/CC owner.

Hi all

@ptitSeb : thanks for this new release. I'll test it on my Rebirth unit and report here ASAP !

EDIT: @ptitSeb : done ! I couldn't see any difference with the previous version (OC @ 825 MHz), the game plays as well as before. The first race is still the slowest of the bunch (~15-20 FPS) IMHO. Explosions (when your car (or your opponents) explodes because of the timed bomb item) bring the FPS counter well below 10 FPS though.

Cheers, Magic Sam

works for me and indeed looks a little bit smoother (but not by a huge margin)

I´ve played a good hour again now and experienced zero problems (CCPandora). Need more training to advance a bit in the championships. I have turned skid marks off, and only very rarely, when explosions happen (turned explosions to "medium"), there are slight slowdowns, hardly noticeable, only when you look for the proverbial hair in the soup

We moved and we're rebuilding the site which is now available at re-volt.io

The download page has also moved, but I set up a redirect for you: http://re-volt.io/rvm/downloads/games/
You just have to swap me and io.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks, I'll update the PND acordingly

Great!
You may have noticed that the downloads point to Google Drive. In case you want to implement a download script (perhaps you already have, I sadly can't check), I set up this for you so you can directly get the files: http://files.re-volt.io/assets/

 

[ptitSeb]

The update build is on the repo. I also update the build (with gcc 6.3) and the libs (latest gl4es).

Build 08
-------------

• Updated URL for the download data script
• New build
• Updated libs

Hi all

@ptitSeb and @yethiel : thanks for this new release, it works like a charm !

Cheers, Magic Sam

I tried this for the first time, with no appdata folder. It offered to download the data, and spent about a couple of minutes doing so apparently successfully, but then it told me to install the data. The download panel also froze after about 15 seconds, but looking inside its appdata folder while it's doing all of that, it is downloading a file called 'rvgt_game_files_music.zip' (or something like that) and that continues to grow. Unfortunately, as soon as it's apparently downloaded fully, it's deleted, and a dialogue box saying 'please install the data' appears.

Edit: I did just try unpacking a zip file I'd obtained separately previously, and it did do a little renaming and patching and then started properly, as far as I can tell - I tried the first level until I was able to not finish last.

Ah thanks for the report, I recheck and fix the download script.

 

[ptitSeb]

Thanks to Huki, I have uploaded a new version of rvgl PND to the repo.

Compile with the latest source, DreamCast exclusive cars and tracks should now be playable

There are also many fixes and improvement in the readme!

Build 09
-------------

• Updated the download data script (less fancy but it works)
• New build, with latest sources
• DC tracks and cars should now be available, along with some fixes and improvements

 

[atari_afternoon]

WOW!!! Just....wow!! Thanks!

 

[levi]

Just tested this out with a fresh appdata folder. Downloading and unpacking by the startup script now works, thanks! The scanner animation did get a bit weird after I brought up deadbeef to pause my music and then hid it again, but it was still downloading, and it did complete successfully, so it's just a graphical weirdness. Once in the game... moar cars! Moar tracks! Hurrah!

New release on the repo, using latest sources.
Note that this version also has support for native GLES2 and OpenGL 2.x shaders.

By default, it still use gl4es and OpenGL 1.5 renderer as it's more conveniant.
Youc an use ES2 backend by putting ".es" file containing "2" in appdata/rvgl
also, you can switch renderer profile by messing with rvgl.ini file. Use Profile (0=legacy, 1=modern GL, 2= ES) and Shader (0: no shader/GLES1.1, 1: shaders/GLES2 ) entry to switch...

Build 10
-------------

• New build, with latest sources
• Updated libs

 

[atari_afternoon]

Thanks so much for updating this great game

Hi all

@ptitSeb : your runscript fails to download the data from http://files.re-volt.io/ because files are 7z archives, while your script is looking for *.zip.

wget http://files.re-volt.io/assets/rv_gamefiles_music.zip
2>&1 ) | zenity --progress --title="$pndname" --auto-close --no-cancel --text="Downloading..." --pulsate

Ah, 7z... Ok, I'll fix that.
[doublepost=1532269549,1532264214][/doublepost]Ok, updated build on the repo, using 7z instead of zip

Build 11
-------------

• Updated the download data script (use 7z now)

Hi all

@ptitSeb : thanks for the update, unfortunately it's still not working correctly (on my Rebirth with latest SGX drivers):

- data downloading and extraction is OK now
- the game seems unable to save a profile
- the main screen is completely black (I can hear the music in the background though)

I also noticed this in the logs (don't know whether that's relevant or not):

PND Build is
Error loading libfluidsynth.so.1: libfluidsynth.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Could you please have a look ?

Cheers, Magic Sam
