0.34a

  1. Linux-specific bugfixes

0.33

  • Multiplayer!
  • Variable pressure tires

0.33a-d

  • Multiplayer bugfixes

0.32

  • New installer package
  • Smooth roads
  • Tons of new vehicles, sorted by category, thanks to all the contributors!
  • Different spawn points for trucks, airplanes, boats, and loads
  • Experimental vegetation, thanks to Thomas
  • Upgraded objects model, LUA scripting, and mission support capability
  • Update to Ogre 1.4.3
  • Many other features and bugfix

0.31

  1. Boats!
    1. A small wahoo.
    2. A Class 1 speedboat contributed by cdquicksilver.
    3. A very large high sea tug, the Smit Rotterdam, that has a rollable platform.
  2. A new terrain, called "island", that is still under construction but that will soon replace the two classic RoR terrains, because they are not realistic islands.
  3. Infinite sea with waves. Take the Smit and sail far from the island: you will encounter high swells offshore. You can even configure the wave fields.
  4. A separate configurator program. Now you must start the RoRconfig program first, to choose your configuration options, save them, then start RoR. This configurator adds more joystick configuration options.
  5. An experimental shift stick mode that uses a force feedback joystick to simulate the grid of the gearbox.
  6. Serious bugfixing: camera shaking has been dramatically reduced, and the "crash on plane crash" problem is mostly eliminated.
  7. Addition of the Challenger car contributed by hemicuda.

0.31a

RoRconfig bug fixed

0.30

  1. Ultra realistic sky: thanks to the Caelum plugin, you can see the sky color changing depending on the time of the day, see sunsets and even try a new night mode (Select the Caelum sky effect at startup and use the "+" and "-" keys of your keypad to change the time of the day). Requires a good videocard.
  2. Gorgeous water effects: splashing, ripples and dripping effects!
  3. Mouse interaction with the trucks: click on a truck and drag him around. Useful to put an overturned truck on its wheels.
  4. True turntable actuators for cranes: no more unwanted swinging.
  5. Better physics: faster, more stable, and more light car-friendly (you can adjust the strength of groups of beam).
  6. A new small car contributed by c--b, good for doing doughnuts and drifting.
  7. Various fixes.

0.29

  • 5 new trucks:
  1. An Agora S bus.
  2. A huge Liebherr crane.
  3. A port crane.
  4. A police car.
  5. The Caliber contributed by mcreed.
  6. Performance improvements (but no more replay mode)
  7. Improvement of the airplane aerodynamics, that has a smoother handling at lower power setting. Also retractable gear (F3/F4) and automatic differential braking to help taxiing.
  8. Special effects on the airplane (press M to see the light show)
  9. Enhanced fixed camera view for airplane, and the possibility to have multiple cameras aboard a vehicle (currently on the Liebherr crane you can sit in the driving cab or the crane cab, and also in the Agora L you can sit in the back of the bus and drive! Press C multiple time to switch between cameras)
  10. Joystick configuration bonanza: you can simultaneously use a wheel for the trucks and a joystick for the plane.
  11. Fully manual clutch mode: press Q two times, and prepare to stall! Note that you must depress clutch to shift, as in real life. You can use an analog joystick for clutch control.
  12. Lots of bug fixes and enhancements
  13. Upgrade of Ogre version from 1.2.0 to 1.2.3.

0.29a

Slow shadow-stencil mode fixed

0.29b

  1. Sound-bug fixed.
  2. An accurate ground contact: no more strange behavior on steep cliffs, and more life-like sidings, drifting, wheel lock-ups.
  3. An updated sound library, that should give better hardware mode sound, and less program crashes.
  4. Better airplane maniability.
  5. Performance boost for water effects, especially for the Reflection+Refraction mode.
  6. More informative error messages in Ogre.log when RoR fails to parse a truck file.

Also this is the first version ever to come out for Linux.

0.28

  • A flyable Antonov 12. The flight physics Pricorde used are state of the art in flight simulation (better than Microsoft Flight Simulator, and almost similar to X-Plane, which I highly recommend).
  • Flying forces (lift, drag and moment) are computed for each wing segments according to actual airfoil characteristics measured in wind tunnels. The interaction of these forces and the aircraft frame determine the aircraft trajectory and attitude. There are no cheating, no cooking, only decentralized aerodynamics!
  • Prop wash (the effect of accelerated air behind props on wings) is taken into account.
  • Induced drag across full wingspans is taken into account.
  • Accurate simulation of variable pitch, constant speed turboprops.
  • New truck added: Volvo FL6 from Aimee Walton
  • Some bug fixes

0.27

  • Flashing lights on some trucks! Use the key 'M' to switch them on. (on AZERTY keyboards, use the key at the right of the 'N' key)
  • Seats in the trucks, and other accessories (air intake, spare wheels)
  • New bridges. They are fragile, if you overload them, they will break down!
  • The big ship in Helens has been upgraded, now you can board in it.
  • Now you can select among more than 12 trucks
  • Editor improvements, with rods edition capabilities. You can also load the loads (sic). Not finished yet, lots of work to do to finish it.
  • Cool rock crawling course and vehicle contributed by theafro are included. The course and vehicle are preliminary, and will be certainly improved. Test your nerves and try to go as high as possible with the Rockeater vehicle on the artificial trial course in the Aspen terrain.

0.26

  • New funny roads to explore
  • Race against the clock on circuits! They are tricky, and you need to have the right mix of speed and caution to finish with a good time.
  • First person view in character mode. Very neat. Now you can play entirely in first person mode (press C two times)
  • Working truck dealer, and truck repair garage. Walk into the offices to buy or repair a truck. You can have as many trucks as you want on the level.
  • Beginning of the truck editor. Enter the truck design lab building to launch it. Not complete but you can easily modify existing trucks.
  • Optional manual transmission. Press Q to toggle auto/manual mode, and A and Z to shift in manual. For the moment, the clutch is automatic, but there will be more...
  • Various fixes (roads less sticky to the chassis, rear view mirror and dashboard can be disabled for slow configs, etc.)
  • If the long download don't work for you, you can try the multipart download.

0.25

  • RoR now uses the new Ogre 1.2 library, allowing Pricorde to put new cool effects.
  • New special effects: Sunburn (light overexposure), Bloom (wet eye effect) and a way more faster Motion Blur.
  • Functional rear view mirrors in cockpit mode. You can even adjust them with the Ins, Del, Home and End keys. Now you can try to lock a trailer from the inside of the cabin.
  • Functional indicators in the 3D dashboard.
  • An enhanced city, still under contruction, with streets and curbs.
  • A new animated character, under construction (not textured yet), to replace the robot, thanks to SLander.
  • Roadsigns!
  • Now there is an ignition switch on the trucks. Press X to toggle it.
  • The yellow RVI crane truck has been converted to a fully featured terrain editor. You can use it to place roads and objects in the scenery. I will document in the Wiki how to use it.
  • The wrecker hook has been slightly modified to ease turning while hooking.
  • Roads have more grip.

0.25a

Only a bugfix. No real new features added.

0.24

  • 3D cockpit! With a 3D dashboard and wheel. Right now, only the wheel is functional, no dashboard needles. Pricorde is working on that. In internal cam mode, you can turn the head with the usual camera controls.
  • External rear view mirrors. The mirrors are not functional yet, but this makes the trucks looking better.
  • Transparent windows. Now the transparent windows are easier to design and artefact-free. So all the trucks have transparent windows now.
  • Lights on all the trucks.
  • Serious optimization that will give better framerate for slow 3D cards and in advanced water modes.

0.23

  • 3D sound! Pricorde changed the audio library from Audiere to OpenAL. The sound of each truck is positioned in space, and you can hear distance attenuation and Doppler effect (the sound is picked at the camera). Works even better with a 5.1 sound system.
  • Water for everybody: now there is three water rendering option. Basic has almost no overhead, Reflection is 2x slower to render, and Reflection+Refraction is 3x slower (but better if you can afford it).
  • A port and a new road in the North st Helens terrain, with a boat. Also in the distance a very large ship, which is a work in progress.
  • Several bug fixes.

Also, note that from now the trucks have their engine stopped by default (except the user-chosen truck), so you need to start them the first time you use them (press 'S').

0.22

  • Lights! Several trucks now have functional lights. Press "N" to activate. No night mode yet, but nice anyway...
  • A new interesting truck: a Scania truck carrier. With this one you can do the same thing as the carrier trailer, but with a better framerate. Use F1/F2 for the ramp. There is also a winch with "O".
  • Several bug fixes: the character can walk on the roads, etc. Press "space" to make him jump over obstacles.

0.21

  • Two new very interesting trucks:
  1. A wrecker truck, and the beginning of a Rescue mission: when you are stuck, press "R" and you are teleported to the nearest wrecker truck
  2. A truck carrier trailer. Funny, but it requires a lot of CPU power to operate with a truck on it.
  • Some bugs corrected
  • the camera mode has been changed a bit.


0.20

  • Now you can have several trucks simultaneously in the scenery. The loads have been "detached" from their truck, and can be manipulated by any truck. Trucks and loads are declared in the terrain file, and the user chooses one extra truck at startup.
  • To go from truck to truck, an animated character has been added (as in Grand Theft Auto). A typical trucker character is under construction, but is not yet ready, so I had to resolve to use a scary robot that is given with Ogre3D as an interim character.
  • Major 3D optimizations has been made. Framerate should be up! (but if several trucks are interacting, the physics simulation is slower)
  • Hyper realist water, with reflection, refraction and fresnel effect. The same technique as in Half Life 2! Requires a recent video card. The water physics is also implemented, see the trucks sinking or floating, and watch out for engine stalling.
  • Easyest and more reliable locking.

Beware: this version requires DirectX 9c so if it does not start, update your DirectX.

0.19

  • A new semi-truck, in a classic european configuration (2x4 plus 6 wheels trailer).
  • Plastic deformations: in case of a crash, the chassis structure deforms.
  • Stencil shadows done right! Pricorde solved most of the bugs that made this shadow mode unusable. Give it a try, they are gorgeous! But they requires a lot of power from the CPU.
  • Optimized collision system. Now the green crane truck is faster.
  • A better internal camera. In internal view you are placed at the driver's position, and on some trucks (the blue and the yellow) you can even see the beginning of what will be a 3D cockpit.
  • And last but not the least, a multithreaded mode that makes a 30% performance gain on a Hyperthreading CPU (like a P4 HT) and possibly doubles the performances of a dual-core CPU!!!

0.18

  • Diesel engines are now equipped with an audible intercooled turbocharger
  • Engine sounds are completely reworked and greatly improved
  • Two new self-loading trucks:
  1. Multibennes: a loading system commonly used in europe, in which two pivoting arms moves a chained container. With this one you pull a 10 tons load!
  2. Ampliroll: another popular loading system, very smart balancing. With this one you can pull a 15 tons container with a 15 tons truck without legs!
  • Automatic load strapping : just press 'O' to secure the load
  • Hydrolic power coupled to the engine
  • New indicators on the dashboard, plus more keyboard help

0.17

  • A beginning of a self-collision system.
  • Transition to Ogre 1.0.5 (some bugfixes)
  • Needles are now correctly displayed whatever the display and camera mode

0.16

  • Full Joystick support (via Direct Input). If your joystick has a "Chinese Hat" button you can also use it to turn the camera.
  • Force Feedback support!!! The force function is basic, but effective: you feel the movements as if you were inside the truck.
  • A cool new camera mode (use 'C' to change camera mode).
  • A new crane truck (work in progress).
  • More sound effects (starter, horn, parking brake, ...).
  • Minor enhancements in the transmission, hydraulics, trucks and road system.

0.15

  • Performance: some textures have been resized to decrease VRAM requirements, and a more efficient collision detection engine.
  • Roads! It is easiest to drive on roads with some vehicles (like the bus), but it is not the shortest path, and it may be dangerous to cross at high speed offroad.
  • A new truck. A Paris Dakar legend: the DAF Turbotwin. The original had two 500hp engines and was fast enough to compete with cars!

0.14

  • A gorgeous dust effect: the wheels and other truck parts kicks dust realistically! But it steals some frames per seconds, so use this effect only if RoR runs fast on your computer.
  • Better collision handling and buildings reshaping. Also in one scenery you have a stairs stand to play with.
  • A terrain map! Press TAB.
  • Better handling: the direction is smoother and self-centers, there is a real shifter with Rear, Neutral, Drive, 2 and 1.
  • You can see the pedals!

0.13

  • This release runs about 2x faster than the previous one!
  • At startup more rendering options are available to fine-tune performances to your video card.
  • Shadow techniques: None/Texture/Stencil. Texture shadows is the best compromise. Stencil shadows are slower, and are still buggy.
  • Texture filtering: None/Bilinear/Trilinear/Anisotropic. Anisotropic are really the best looking, and the performance is good on recent cards.
  • Motion Blur: This is just for fun. Motion blur is... well... blurry!

0.12

  • Shadows! Texture shadows works relatively well now, so Pricorde included them in this release. There are still some visual glitches, and the VRAM use is up. Pricorde is still looking to make stencil shadows work! In a future version there will be a way to choose the shadow technique.
  • Collisions! Now you can crash in some objects of the scene. This physics engine is full of surprises: its soft-body nature makes robust collisions easy.
  • Better Scenery: Pricorde has placed buildings all around the two scenes. Drive around and find them. Soon there will be a map. This is the beginning of a game logic.

0.11

First version ever to go public.
