4 comments by pasik on May 21st, 2013

Hey there!

So, we've finally made it to a point that we got    

  1. medikit as support item,
  2. vests that transform getting killed into getting wounded,
  3. squad loadout configs that enable AI soldiers with medikits to be favored in squads,
  4. AI that looks for a moment or a call in a fight to help out a wounded,

to get the medic feature into gameplay! While you might wonder why opt for getting wounded and hope for a medic to come to get you back into game rather than just dying and running back to the zone as another soldier, it's primarily the rare weapons that are meant to make you want to get that vest on; otherwise you'll lose the rare weapon on respawn.

Beta 0.88, wounding and medics

In this version, we've also enabled the rare weapons in classic single-map matches, which means those PvP oriented online matches, or single player, might experience some player(s) getting temporarily overpowered if they manage to find a rare. Easiest way to find one is to listen, it's the bots that usually happen to bring them into a battle, but you might find one in a crate too. Can't wait to see the players getting hunted for the weapons they carry :)

Other than that, plenty of tweaks here and there, a new weapon, a new mortar call, and a hefty amount of new modding potential; map size is open now, for one. See the detailed change log here.

0.89 or 0.90 will see plenty of changes under the hood to make it easier to create server-specific settings for match resources without clients having to download overlay mods to be able to join a server. This should make it easy to alter active weapons, items, vehicles and factions strictly on server side, clients will get the relevant info from the server to configure their game session accordingly and load the needed resources if they have them available. This will make it possible to set up a broader variety of matches in single player too, hopefully including single player Invasion.

Can you see the standalone tar.gz package for the game in Desura website, at least?

I believe the fact that the branch release, which works with the Desura client, hasn't been approved yet results in the message you're getting. If the problem persists once the branch release has been approved, I'll look into it.

The standalone releases for Linux, both demo and full, have been approved by Desura now, and at least browsing on Windows with Linux selected as platform at the top of the page, I can access Beta TAR.GZ 36,84mb to download the full binary release.

"Crossplay" has been enabled between Windows and Linux releases, so purchasing one will gain you access to the other.

Desura "branch" releases for Linux have not yet been approved, which is why you can't install the game in Desura client quite yet. I believe this is also the reason it's not yet in the games main menu.

Just to say it out loud, 0.76 demo and full beta builds for both Windows and Linux are still in the Desura approval queue.

Meanwhile, the new demo for both platforms is available here Modulaatio.com

That's awesome news then!

If it's not too much trouble, when you're done playing, could you send me the file data/rwr_game.log to pasi.kainiemi@modulaatio.com? I'd like to peek a little bit what is it that you're getting in the graphics capabilities department.

I couldn't get my ATI behave as well as I would've wanted, and couldn't get my hands on a Linux with NVIDIA to try how certain things are doing.

This is a great game. I've described it to friends as a combination between General Chaos, Cannon Fodder, a rather obscure but innovative game called Net War and once vehicles are added, even a touch of Warhawk. On top of all of this, the developer is great and really listens to the community.
