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.

Hello!

This game is awesome. 10 of 10 for sure.

But I have one small question - how to save single player game ?

When I play I often see messages "Game saved" but when I quit game & start it again - there in no saves. Why ?

I think the last saved game appears immediately when you start the game. Hit escape in the menu and you're straight back in the last saved action. I have not tested this, but I believe that it is so ... maybe ..

Not sure, but everytime i enter the game from the menu i'm back on that damn brigde that i'm unable to cross :-)

When you launch RWR, it just starts a default quick battle behind the menu; this match isn't actually loadable in the recent games.

To get a proper match going on that actually gets saved and can later be found in recent games, go through the start new game menu.

Have you tried the standalone demo? You'd launch it with launch_game -script.

What distro are you guys using?
Did you try the ldconfig command to update the library cache?

OpenSuse + wxWidgets is clearly becoming a problem now.

There's a hacky workaround, you'd use this Modulaatio.com edit it manually according to your needs, and with demo, place it in rwr folder in a subfolder called "data", or with the latest game, place it in your home folder in a subfolder called ".running_with_rifles".

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.
