AP_2856 is now live!

[Scratch]

It's been a while. But with more time freeing up for us, more updates should be coming soon. For now, enjoy this update. ːkingsamː

• Upped the game's tickrate from 20 to 30. This should make the game feel a lot smoother, but might introduce some weird things. So far we've fixed most issues, but let us know if there's something we missed.
• Added a bunch of plasma and mine ammo in the levels.
• Added hud_bShowEarlyAccess to hide the "Early Access Beta" text on the HUD. (For video or screenshot purposes.)
• Added a way to find enemy triggers that are not attached to anything. Enable wld_bDebugKills and start a level in-game to find these spawners.
• The RCon tool is now open source: https://github.com/AlligatorPit/RCon
• Changed the startup resolution to be windowed mode by default.
• Changed that only player 1 can control the menu in the case of gamepads.
• Changed the default maximum quick slots count to 20 instead of 8.
• Changed some aesthetics in the HUD.
• Changed some aesthetics in the menu and loading screen.
• Fixed SKA Studio not working for some people.
• Fixed being able to change difficulty in survival when starting in split screen.
• Fixed "Invalid DIFF stream" error when trying to connect to servers. (Experimental fix, let us know if there are any issues.)
• Fixed console messages having the timestamps in weird places. (Also removed con_bTimestamps.)
• Fixed model holder shader not working in-game.
• Fixed "error 3" when saving statistics.
• Fixed a lot of broken spawners in 13 different levels across the First and Second encounter.
• Fixed some minor issues and exploits on a few levels.
• Fixed some potential crashes in game and editor.

Furthermore, we'll be cleaning up the bugreporter over the weekend, so that we can have a clean start and a much better overview of all the issues. And yes, the bugreporter is still the #1 place to go for reporting issues: https://ap.samrev.com/bugs/

Also, kittens. Discuss.

It was sooo long time dude, the next update shouldn't come 21.04.2017 you know xD

[Skyward]

People says the game is playable now, how about Croteam takes the opportunity with SS4 to do some advert for SS revo aswell? without a proper advert it will take way too long to bring some people back

[freigeist]

finally, i thought you abandoned rev!

i played ss rev for about 20 mins today and i have to say yes, its really playable but i wouldnt claim its smooth, although i have to add that nowadays tse isnt smooth for me too. so rev > tse since rev has actually a future. in this way i just want to say: keep it up Angelo rev has the potential to bring back activity to old ass game!

@Zeo nice server, dude. my ping was most of the time 140 there - just like in the old days on the original server

[AmcoTraD]

reading the posts about not being at 100% playable makes me feel disappointed... (not about angelos work, but that i still cant play)

but i am rather suprised about angelos comeback and fact he didn't surrender yet and obviously does an excellent job

Tested a bit and looks good imo, but there's 1 problem though... there are no players.

Noticed a bug regarding FOV, when you set it small for 1st person, it affects 3rd person too, but when you set it high, 3rd person stays the same.

Thanks everyone. Happy to see the positivity in this thread. To give some backstory as to "why now?", I have recently started re-organizing my time better (due to stress and maintaining my own mental health), so now I have at least 1 full work day a week to work on Rev. (Still unpaid, mind you. Maybe I should start a Patreon )

Our team is also getting bigger in the last month, so there should be some new progress coming regarding content as well. (eg. Bright Island)

Please focus on deathmatch... it's the only competitive game-mode.

Please try Quake Live and learn what could you add to Revo to make it a competitive game.

what about sponsoring?

at the beginning it shows "this game is brought to you by" (you can skip it)

certain logos and names follow, example:


"GameZone24.net Members" -> Names who sponsored money
"SeriousZone" -> Names "
"Russian Community" -> Names"


Minimum amount of sponsoring to be mentioned is 30€ i'd say


I'm in!

[Skyward]

The sponsoring is a good idea, but I think Kickstarter would be more adequate than Patreon for that. I don't think anyone would have interest to subscribe to a monthly donation to get what... private exclusive preview screenshots?

However, sponsoring is made to bring money for a project before it's even made and sold massively... what about those who already paid the game on steam?

i could sponsor, but not monthly

The money went to croteam, not alligator pit afaik

"Fixed "Invalid DIFF stream" error when trying to connect to servers."

Ah, thank goodness. Had problems with this.

I still have a mouse latency due to low fps (~100FPS is low for Sam)... comparing to old SS Classic, there is still room for improvement at that field. Have you changed something in rendering, is there any way to restore it back to old?

Don't wanna be negative, but I just have exactly the same problem like ~1-2 years ago
I really appreciate your efforts and work, but I also think that old game still should be smooth on old PCs like before.
