RELEASE: Red Eclipse v1.3 (Galactic Edition)

RELEASE: Red Eclipse v1.3 (Galactic Edition)

Postby qreeves » 01 Sep 2012, 03:31

The Red Eclipse Team is proud to announce their new release, version 1.3 codenamed "Galactic Edition".

This release sees a semi-stabilisation of the gameplay in favour of implementing a variety of bugfixes and user requests. We've removed some old cruft and implemented a few new game types to replace them, like coop (humans fight high powered bots), and king-of-the-hill (control and defend one flag). Due to the popularity of the impulse/parkour system we have introduced a new "impulse vaulting", where you can hold down your parkour key to "vault" over low obstacles, making it that much easier to navigate around busy levels.

We invite you to download it and give it a go, each release brings us that much closer to a polished game. If you have any feedback, feel free to leave a comment and let us know what you think. We're also still looking for a new trailer to be featured on our home page, as the one we are using now is 4 releases old! If you think you can help make a professional video, check out the thread on our forums: http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=2237

We hope you enjoy playing this game as much as we enjoy creating it. As always, you can download Red Eclipse from our website: http://www.redeclipse.net/

To all involved in making 1.3.1,
Congratulations! From the new features, maps and editor functions to the bug fixes, people are going to love this release. Presently, I can also stop my obsessive compulsion to download the SVN for a good while.
Cheers

Maybe we can throw together a Community map pack, I will have some maps to toss in there as well.

One that needs to be polished: Nivellensem
One that needs to be finished: Spaceport
And another map I know from an old FPS that I want to remake in RE.


Hmm, just testing the 64bit .exe and it is giving me missing .dll errors. Does the bin64 folder need the bin folders dlls? Or just needs to have a different folder structure?
Tried moving the 64b exe into the bin folder (renaming old) but it still doesn't work. I think there may be a problem?
BTW I used the patch version.

Also, as far as I can tell the [weap]reloads (-1 / 0 / 1+) is saying it's range is only 0 through 1 - so do -1 and +1 features not work or is this a bug? I kind of thought [weap]reloads +-insert number here- would set an ammo count for the weapons (which is kind of what I want).

de- and reinstall on win 7 (64-bit)

Postby raiden » 01 Sep 2012, 15:34

A beginner question maybe, but how I can uninstall the old version properly and reinstall the new one on windows ? I remember some problems when I tried to get 1.2, coming from 1.1. Version 1.3 cannot start, because of the missing "msvcr100.dll" file? I know allready that the file comes with the Visual C++ Runtime, but couldn't solve the problem yet. I try a system restore now...

I am having the same problem. I haven't been able to get onto Red Eclipse because of that error, and it wont even let me onto my 1.2 client after i tried to install the new release.

I simply used the patch version and copied and pasted the files into the directory, the 64bit exe was the only thing that didn't work for me. Though I should mention that the exe that still works still says v1.2 Cosmic edition in the titlebar...

Are we having issues with this release? :(

It might work if you uninstall then remove the RE directory then re-install from the full 1.3 install.

I am going to go ahead and say the patch doesn't work, the .zip patch didn't replace the 32bit .exe and therefor didn't patch the game - considering that the 64bit exe won't work for me - I don't see this patch working, I guess I will either wait for a new patch or settle for re-installing the full game...

Hover mode is still listed in the 1.2 exe and since I can't use the 64bit exe I don't see how this works.

Downloading full install to check it out.


@bonifarz yeah I tried the patch .zip and it didn't work at all. I am trying full install right now.

I had no problems at all on my windoze machine. I left the 1.2 install as is, copied the user data to keep a separate folder for the old version and then ran the installer. The batch file correctly launches the 64-bit build, which runs flawlessly. Only thing worth opening a ticket on the bugtracker are maybe some texture errors near glass walls on testchamber, but that could be a driver issue.

Just launched after using full install and it put my monitor into a resolution that it wasn't meant for and didn't even launch the game, it could damage peoples monitors.

Eh, looks like we have some issues still with this release.

Yup, giving me nothing but problems...

Okay finally I got it to launch without issue, sheesh.

Kind of messy, but I am at menu now - testing everything else will continue to report.

Report: The 64bit .exe can't be set to the same settings (on the .exe properties) as the 32bit exe (it does execute through the full install though) so the mouse will click "through" the application - with no known bugreport/fix except setting compatibility to vista sp2(for 64bit exe).

So basically, I can launch the 64bit exe into the menu but if I click more then twice on the game it will become a black screen and refuse to function properly; the way to fix this on the 32bit exe was to set its compatibility to windows xp sp3 and the three bottom options, "disable visual themes, disable desktop composition" and "disable display scaling on high DPI settings". However the compatibility setting for win xp sp3 isn't available for the 64bit exe. So instead just set it to vista sp2, seems to work.

I don't know what the issue is with the mouse problem, my os is Win7 64bit.

Not a real issue, using the 64bit exe would be nice but the 32bit can be patched to use more then 2gb of ram so it is okay until things get sorted/figured out.


Is the "patch" for 1.31 itself? I initially thought it was for v1.2 to v1.31.

Guess it is a patch for 1.31 the time for the .exe's differs, the timestamp from the full install reclient.exe is 9/1/2012 5:17 AM and the one for the patch is 9/1/2012 6:25 AM.

Perhaps my own misunderstanding, but might want to clear it up a bit. :P

after patching still have the same problems mentioned above with the 64bit exe.

missing msvcr100.dll, after uninstalled version 1.2

Postby raiden » 01 Sep 2012, 17:27

Ok, I could fix my problem now, after installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)". This works for win 64-bit systems, if you lost the dll- file like me. "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)" should work for other windows systems with 32 bit. Windows seems to delete these .dll- files, when uninstalling the programm which makes use of it and there is no other, which needs them (or the whole visual c++ 2010 r p). So my problem isn't very common probably, but maybe this helps someone.

To give a first feedback: every change I could find in the game is useful and pleases me well. There are new maps, the moving ability was updated (couldn't really test until now), the bots behave a bit different, the interface became some really useful features (e.g. the map selection marks). There are also some bugfixes. The new 64 bit support works fine for me. There are also some new features for the editor, inclusive new skyboxes ... . I can't enumerate all news here, because of the changelog that isn't necessary also, but my first impression is that the update is worthwhile and a good next step.

Some things which attracted my attention: the map longest yard seems to has still a geometrical glitch under a "main/middle/platform" (I thought that was me in my personal version via editing mode only, but it seems to be original ?). The other thing are the louder hit sounds I recognized at first. For my personal taste it's adjusted a bit too loud. I mean that *ding*,... *ding*,*ding*, these sounds only. Could anybody explain me where this is set (probably one of the config files), or how exactly I can set this for my taste (commands or anything else)?

That is all, a nice release again :).

Turn down sound in the sound settings?

The 64bit .exe doesn't work for me, if I click on the game it will turn black and stop working.

The bots are acting Strange for me, every once in awhile they will just stop shooting each other and start jumping around each other like they are trying to kick each other or something, but they just jump around...

EDIT: I think I fixed the bot problem I was having on my server by getting rid of the old server config and replacing it with the new example config that includes the new options and removed some old ones.

EDIT2: The 64bit.exe works if you set compatibility to vista sp2. Don't know why I didn't just try this yesterday.

Maybe it's just my lack of experience (aka noobness), but it seemed like kicking was a lot harder to do than it used to be.

And that is the best game!

I am just going to post this download link here for a demorecording of some gameplay on my server for ballistics trailer.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/5ivrlf

BTW what is the file format that the demo recording uses?

Just wanted to update that I still get some kind of problem with the bots, I think it has something to do with them spawning outside of the map and it breaks the rest of the bots - then they just wander around the map without shooting each other.

It is kind of irritating.

I solved this for me, by simply using "audacity", an open source music editor. In the .../sounds/sfx folder of RE there are the files damage- damage8. They come in .ogg- format, that guarantees high quality sounds. I backuped them and used the Fft- filter of audacity, to lower the volume of these spevific files, exported this back to RE and tadaa: everything is fine for me :) .
