    Update 2015-11-19
    20. November - jannesBB
    General:


    Physics improvements, more realistic geometry dynamics.
    Implemented joint-based steering rack implementation.
    Improved visual damage accuracy and realism, cars now deform more like they're made of sheet metal instead of paper or plastic.
    Implemented ambient occlusion maps for vehicles.
    Resurrected ambient shadow for vehicles, now affected by visual damage.
    Resurrected low frequency ambient occlusion for scenes.
    Running Steam client is no longer needed for dedicated servers.
    Again reduced dedicated server CPU load on empty servers.
    Improved tire adhesion audio, now reacts to different tyre conditions.
    Implemented basic anti-hacking measures: The game now detects in case there are modified or additional files in sensitive data folders, excluding art. In case modded content is is detected leaderboards are disabled. Multiplayer requires that the server and clients have the same modified files.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're persistently receiving an error message about data mismatch and can't pinpoint the culprit, please delete the whole 'data' folder and verify data integrity via Steam.


    Gameplay:


    Added a new game mode: Sprint Cup, consisting of 3 heats of 2 lap races.

  • Rocket Rulez! - Tu(r)nier

    Wer bei der Überschrift gemeint hat, wir lassen Q3 Rocket Arena wieder aufleben, dem hat seine intellektuell limitierte Denkfabrik einen Streich gespielt. Wobei... ;)


    Ja liebe Autonerds von Täferrot, es darf wieder gefahren werden. Und damit's keinem dabei langweilig wird, schmeißen wir auch noch einen Ball mit aufs Feld.
    Ein sensationeller Fahrspaß für groß und klein (Grundausbildung am Gamepad nicht vergessen!), ob nüchtern oder Juhnke: :alc:


    Rocket League!


    Gefahren wird in einer geschlossenen Arena, je zwei Teams gegeneinander. So kann schon keiner Rumheulen, dass er von der Strecke geschubst wurde.
    Die Teamgrößen sind 2-4 Spieler, wobei eine Orga-interne Wir-schaffen-das-Studie ergeben hat, dass ein 2vs2 die optimale Teamgröße ist.
    Ziel ist es mit seinem Raketengefährt das Runde ins Eckige zu bekommen. Kurzum, es geht um Autoball mit Raketenantrieb.


    In diesem Video kann man sich besser ein Bild davon machen: https://youtu.be/r4iT0yZEwk8


    Gespielt wird im Modus 2vs2 Double-Elimination. Ggf. wird der Turniermodus vor Ort noch optimiert – je nach Teilnehmerzahl. Ein „Nap-Cup (tm)“ ist nicht auszuschließen.


    Rocket League ist eine absolute Kaufempfehlung für schmales Geld, beim Keydealer der Wahl für unter 16€ und im Steam-Store für 20€. Gamepadpflicht!
    (Auf den Kauf von Extras wie Deluxe* oder DLCs kann verzichtet werden – uns sind zumindest keine Vorteile im Spiel bekannt)


    Auch im Hinblick auf Vor- wie Nachlansin(n)lichen kurzweiligen Online-Abenden mit dem „Orga Deiner Wahl*“ können wir das Spiel nur jedem ans Nerdherz legen.


    Ach ja, Gamepadpflicht!


    Viel Spaß damit.


    Bis (spätestens) zur LANSIN(N) 29

    Update 2015-06-30
    30. Juni - jannesBB
    As you have probably noticed, the latest update for Wreckfest was rolled out earlier today. The update marks a major milestone for the game since it's the first time that you will be able to experience our improved physics model as well as the new physically-based renderer. Some of you will be happy about the changes we've made, some unhappy, but please be aware that you should not expect a finalized product: there's still a lot of work ahead of us and this update is only a foundation on which the game will be build. Because of this, we'd very much like to hear what you like and especially what you don't. By giving us feedback, you can help us tune the direction of the game and strike a perfect balance.


    We're aware of the technical issues that many of you are currently experiencing, and we're doing our best to sort everything out as soon as we can. We very much appreciate all the bug reports we've received so far, so please do keep the coming! When reporting issues, please remember to give us as much information about it (for example, reproduction steps) as well as your system specifications. One of the more critical ones we're aware of is the issue with the experimental x64 build crashing on some systems, and we're investigating the issue to have it fixed swiftly; in the meantime please use the 32-bit build.


    Thanks for your patience and support!

  • LSC 2015 & Aichstrutsee

    Also Leute!


    Ich habe mich jetzt selber mal erkundigt, wegen dem "Gerücht" mit dem Feuer machen bzw offenem Feuer.


    Tatsache ist, das war mal verboten duch die Stadt Welzheim, letztes Jahr. Wann genau ist mir unbekannt, vermutlich erst nach dem LSC 2014 ;)


    Tatsache ist aber auch, dass es Stand heute erlaubt ist. So wie es das schon immer war, an den vorhandenen Feuerstellen. Auch offen.
    Kann man hier verifizieren: Tel. 07182 7081 oder 07172 31842
    (Ich hatte letztere gewählt)


    Und was noch (besser) ist, man kann/muss jetzt das Holz dort vor Ort kaufen. So die Aussage. Spart man sich das Anhänger schieben. 8)


    :dd:


    Findet sich jetzt noch ein Organisator? :D
