Louis8257  [author] 25 May, 2023 @ 3:38am

Louis8257 dumb question when will the f22 release? Because I do like how your mods feel but with updated details could make them be on l1ngfengs level
Louis8257  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 11:36am 
@TRASH I'll not rush its release don't worry :steamthumbsup:
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 11:21am 
i hope so to don't be a BF2042 XD
Louis8257  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 11:08am 
@TRASH Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I like to share my ideas with everyone. I hope alot of people will enjoy this game once it will come out.
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 11:04am 
sounds pretty nice i will try to pick it up on early access. it sounds like it could compete with GTA in terms of racing
Louis8257  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 11:00am 
@TRASH I'll share more details on my blog because I have alot of ideas for this game!
- I implemented a date system where the story can unfold on several years, so I also have a calendar of events. It's possible to miss events!
- The maps are massive and you'll encounter hundreds of racers at different locations and time.
- You can get out of your car at anytime (even on a race)!
- You'll be able to take pictures in the middle of crowded streets with prop placement options.
- Each AI has its own personality and will react to your driving: it will be able to actually racing you.
- You can socialize with racers, offline or online!
- This game is more focused on being challenging and fun, so losing doesn't result in no progress and the story will take it into account.

In short, it will be like a Car-RPG with a big empathy on physics.
I planned a demo when I'll finish the first map maybe at the very end of this year.
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 10:30am 
huh what are you going to do to make project celerity different from other racing games there are ideas on early access and discord servers but yea. will it be more realistic and have destruction? that would be cool as i dont play racing games but i will definitely pick project celerity up as soon as possible
Louis8257  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 10:19am 
@TRASH I have a category for BetterEditor but I'll create a Ravenfield category where I'll put any updates on my activities on the game ;)
You can single out my racing game (Project Celerity).
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 10:15am 
ok is there anyway i can single out ravenfield modding news and your racing game news?
Louis8257  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 9:59am 
@TRASH Thanks! :D About my blog, I wrote my articles in both english and french but nowadays I'm writing only in english. Sorry about the confusion. You can find my articles here: https://louis8257.wordpress.com/articles/
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 9:51am 
i tried to find your website but i could only find devlogs for the racing game and it was in french
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 9:48am 
hmm vanilla minus was a old pack only now are things being remade. plus only now is vanilla minus becoming popular but yours was always a little better and more detailed
Louis8257  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 9:17am 
@TRASH I always followed the art style of the game since its release on Steam, so all of my mods had the old simplistic style but I'm remaking my F-22 with the new game's art style.
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 8:30am 
*minus
Adrian Shephard 20 May, 2023 @ 8:30am 
huh ok love me some destructive maps :> anyways i noticed your mods are like vanilla mius vehicles
Louis8257  [author] 20 May, 2023 @ 5:41am 
@TRASH It's still in the works! I'm implementing a better way to destroy big structures.
Adrian Shephard 19 May, 2023 @ 8:28pm 
when will the air combat map release? i love destructible maps and that would be insane when it release
Louis8257  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 7:38am 
@kiwi15 Still a pleasure to answer to comments!
cheddah 4 May, 2023 @ 7:34am 
Wow, gonna be honest, that was a lot more than i thought it was going to be, nice to know that you are, still indeed, alive.
Louis8257  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 7:27am 
@kiwi15 I'm still here :D

Financially it's been difficult but I'm still getting revenues from the Unity's Asset Store. I'm searching for a job but I'm considering sticking to my freelancer status instead, since I can use this status to have contracts.

I'm also making a racing video-game and I'm learning more about Unity (like quaternions, OpenGL and physics), I wish RF had better design but fortunately this tool makes everything easier. I wish I could help SteelRaven.

On my free time, I'm still modding RF with a remake of my first map (Air Supremacy) and on a remake of the F-22. The map looks so gorgeous and it's motivating me more to finish it each day! I also made a camera clip mod to extend the view since the base game doesn't draw more than 1 or 2 killometers from the camera, just to give an idea how big the remaked map is :)

I also have a website! You can follow my activities on louis8257.wordpress.com or louis8257.com

ok sorry it took me some time to respond thanks for the thing to help but i got one problem i really suck at stuff like that its just to confusing for me thanks anyway thought.:steamthumbsup:
Louis8257  [author] 6 Jun, 2022 @ 1:28pm 
@hamburger Hi! Actually you can place several trees even without BetterEditor.

You can use the paint terrain tool by selecting a terrain and then, in the "Terrain" component, select the tool. Here's a link: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/terrain-Trees.html
hamburger 6 Jun, 2022 @ 1:19pm 
hey man can you make one of the for map making please it would be awesome not having to place a tree down one by one please.
Louis8257  [author] 13 May, 2022 @ 5:08am 
The new version is out! Because the new versions of Unity is very different from the old versions, It might have some bugs so report them in the "Bug Reports" thread.
Louis8257  [author] 10 May, 2022 @ 10:42am 
Good news everyone: I'm still here! :D

I managed to port most of the important features in the new version of Unity! I'm heading for a release this week-end. Sadly I haven't time to port the task manager in time, but it will come in a later version (the code was very unoptimised, I have to rewrite it completely).

A small tease of the new features: the map creator is waay better than before and you can create your own palette of prefabs. You can place them just in the previous version.
Strikey 9 Apr, 2022 @ 11:22pm 
Time to make my first map
AoiYuui 26 Mar, 2022 @ 6:49pm 
god
this pack is epic
SnodgerChild 27 Feb, 2022 @ 4:00am 
that's great to hear, can't wait for it :)
Louis8257  [author] 27 Feb, 2022 @ 3:40am 
@SnodgerChild The current version doesn't entirely work with the new toolpack for now, but I'm working on that a week ago ! I'm also making it cleaner and less buggy.
SnodgerChild 27 Feb, 2022 @ 3:29am 
will this work for the new toolpack for unity 2020?
Louis8257  [author] 5 Feb, 2022 @ 3:31pm 
I forgot to mention that BetterEditor will be remade as well ;)
Louis8257  [author] 5 Feb, 2022 @ 1:46pm 
@Bascinet_Comrade Thank you ! :D

The good news is that some of my plugins will appear in a new version of BetterEditor, so making mods in the future will be easier and more satisfying.
Bascinet_Comrade 5 Feb, 2022 @ 1:31pm 
Oh, I do understand your situation, I was just afraid you may have stopped modding forever. thanks for the quick reply!
Louis8257  [author] 5 Feb, 2022 @ 12:12pm 
@Bascinet_Comrade I think you didn't read what i wrote just bellow x)

To answer your question, in short, I stopped to make mods as long as I have financial struggles. So I'm currently making commercial plugins, you can find some in the Unity Asset Store.

I hope you understand my current situation :)
Bascinet_Comrade 5 Feb, 2022 @ 11:36am 
Hey are you still making vehicles or did you stop
Louis8257  [author] 22 Nov, 2021 @ 10:35am 
Today, SteelRaven decided to port the entire game to Unity 2020, that means I'm also migrating to this version of Unity for all of my mods (future and every mods present on my Workshop).

BetterEditor will also be ported to Unity 2020 but the support for Unity 5 may come to an halt. I'm checking if I can compile BetterEditor from Unity 2020 and export it to Unity 5, there will be a news for that.

Finally I'm working on a solution to compile and export mods to the old version of the engine. I'm still working on the mods but Ravenfield is changing so much I can't mod it right now.

Also I'm working on commercial Unity tools ! Some of them will feature in the future update of BetterEditor ;) You can also check my official website (louis8257.com) to check my products !

I hope you understand the current situation ! Sorry for any inconveniences !
Louis8257  [author] 5 Nov, 2021 @ 8:26am 
The main reason why I'm taking much more time for making mods is that SteelRaven is working on a new version of Ravenfield with a newer version of Unity (2020). That means I might make every mods twice !

Louis8257  [author] 7 Oct, 2021 @ 1:02pm

Louis8257  [author] 23 Feb, 2021 @ 3:13am 
@Professor Laundry Try to restart Unity. Sometimes the editor don't find the namespace in the first try.
Also please use the "Bug Reports" thread next time in the forums, it will make the comments section tidy ;)
