Anything going on?

[URV]

Hello there! I joined this community over a year ago with the intent to familiarize myself with this side of the community (and, ideally, to learn a bit of Italian in the process). Unfortunately, things got a little busy soon after, and I never really got around to doing that. However, even if it's been a while, I haven't dropped the idea, and I would still definitely like to get to know you guys better.

I haven't been keeping an eye on things, so I'd like to ask whether there are any racing events or competitions being hosted around this time of the year. If not, would anyone be interested in organizing something?

Hi URV! I'm glad you keep getting interested to our community .
For the event or competition we make you can visit Multiplayer section were we publish tournament, event or Re-Volt Racing Night (or RRN). This last competition is the most played in our community. In fact in one RRN we runs on the 13 original track of Re-Volt in 3 laps, with different modality of game: yes or no bonus, selectable car of one class or one same for everyone, normal track or reverse, or specular, or reverse specular and 10 8 6 or 10 6 4 score. For make a RRN is necessary be in 4 people at least. We race one RRN at day usually and we organized in the ARM telegram group, asking for how many people are free for race and sometimes we make the live for this competition (you can find the last live on YouTube ARM Channel). Even if we are less then 4 people we run the same but without sign it in the RRNetor.
We make also Toshinden and Battle Tag.

For tournament, as I already told you, you can find topics on the Multiplayer section. For example now are open the inscription for the ARM Track Editor Fight Tournament (that is a online and offline tournament using Track Editor) and in January will start another tournament.
Anyway, anytime we want to do something for event or competition we write on that section, so let's take a look

If you want more informations/details about the events hosted by me (FRS AI Championship, Krazy Kart Championship) feel free to PM me or ask directly in this topic.

Hi URV! Welcome back to ARM!!
Our online events (exept competitions) aren't schedule like I/O but they may happen casually.
Usually when someone want to race, he leaves a post in the topic "Revolt Racing Nights" and if there is someone else that can race too, the event starts.
I hope to race with you soon!!

[URV]

Thank you for the quick responses, everyone! I'm definitely going to try joining as many events as possible, and I think I'll start out with the Track Editor tournament, if I still have a day or two to complete my entry.

I forgot to ask, do I need to set up my game any differently from how we do it on the I/O side? Normally, we stick with the latest RVGL version and just connect to sessions via RV House or directly by IP. Sorry if this information is already listed in the aforementioned topics, I might have missed it.

do I need to set up my game any differently from how we do it on the I/O side?

Normally we use the latest version of RVGL, unless otherwise specified.
The main difference is that we use our own VPN and TeamSpeak to communicate, whose server-sides are installed on our own server located in Italy. The aims of this type of organization are the lag reduction during races and the resolution of an old problem about joining to an existing session or hosting a new session due to the structure of some italian internet service provider.
If you want to take part to our RRNs or tournaments you should follow carefully this guide.
If you like challenges ( ), you can read that in italian clicking on the first link of my signature!

Hi URV, welcome back on ARM!
We use the last version of RVGL, currently 17_1124 to race online, for both RRN and online tournaments
I think you should activate the '-nop2p' and '-nouser' options for your .exe file, but I ask for the others' help here
if you'd like to join this winter's edition of our ARM Track Editor Fight, I can tell you the main rules, but you should
read the whole presentation in the main topic ;)

(I ask for TheFactor82 and Michelangelo's help, maybe we could translate the
rules in english for foreign users)

this tournament is composed of 2 phases: online and offline. in the online phase the users will race on every track
sent to the refree (this time it's me), after 30 minutes of free trial. the car used is the same for everyone, jg-7.
in the offline phase, all the users who partecipate the online phase, and the users who sent me their track without
racing online, must give a score to each track (but not their own one).
in the end there will be 2 winners: the winner of the race, anche the creator of the track with the highest score.

the refree can accept only track made this way:
max area: 10x10, 9x11, 8x12, 7x13, 6x15, 5x18
no bonus on the track, since it's a no bonus race
no decoration pieces, each piece put on the track must be used for its original purpose
you must use only pieces of the track editor, nothing else created outside the editor
there must be only one main path

I hope this will help you :)
if you have other questions, we're here to help :)

Hi URV and welcome back on ARM!
As Kratos already told you, ARM Track Editor Fight is a tournament is about to start. The track made by the track editor must be delivered to Kratos within Saturday 16th December at 11:59 pm (GMT+1). The topic of the tournament is THIS and the rule is in the spoiler of the first post.
If you have any doubt don't hesitate to write us in this topic, in the ATEF topic or via PM, as you want!

[URV]

Thank you again! I think I have a pretty good idea about things now.

I admit I'm not very keen on using a VPN for this, as it's one extra step (I'm kinda spoiled with the simplicity of just joining via IP, heh), but I'll look into it nonetheless. I am quite curious how big of a difference it will make regarding lag.

Glad to hear I still have 9 days 'till the ATEF tournament—that'll give me plenty of time to set things up and build a track. Hope to see you guys there!

[Michelangelo]

I'm glad to see your interest for our tournaments!
Furthermore, I suggest you to join our Telegram channel at THIS link. In this channel we announce all the news about tournaments and if there's a RRN which is about to start (RRN are tournaments "semi-official" that are oganized extemporaneously to have fun together).

[Kratos]

hi URV, I'd like to remember you that you still have 2 days to send me
your track for our ARM Track Editor Fight, if you want
if you need help, please ask here whatever you want

[URV]

Hey! Had a bit of a busy week, but I plan on finishing my track and sending it today. If there's one thing I would need help with, it's confirmation whether I understand the rules regarding track making:

- The track must use the brown/wooden/stars textures, not the grey/carpet/street textures;
- I am not allowed to create more than one track;
- The track must not be double-sized;
- No pieces should be used for decoration (i.e. all pieces used in the track must be part of the raceline, including all extra paths from bridges and crossroads);
- The track must be fully made in the track editor, without any extra edits (e.g. via MAKEITGOOD);
- I am allowed to send my track even if I can't participate in the races;
- I am not allowed to show my track to any other participants.

A few extra questions: am I allowed to modify the track name (in order to get rid of the "User-" prefix) and add some music, just for fun? Also, when are the races expected to happen, exactly? I can't seem to find or remember the exact date and time, and I ought to ensure I don't already have any plans that might conflict with the competition.

[Kratos]

Hi URV , the rules you listed above are all correct, but let me explain you just one thing :)
You have to send me just the .tdf file, not the whole track folder :)
So once you have finished the track in the editor save it and send it to me,that's all :)
Of course, you can choose the name you want and I'll write it in the .inf file :)
For the music I have to say we never used music before, but maybe we could use a Christmas theme music for every track
In the end, I ask you to join our official telegram channel, @aliasrevoltmaster, because every news about races and tournaments will be written there, too :)
I hope I solved your doubts, but as always if you need help we're here for you!

P.S.
I almost forgot. Remember to check the track area!
The biggest square you can use is 10x10, otherwise you can use the rectangular dimension specified in the topic :)

[Etneus95]

Hi URV, welcome to ARM, I'm very happy to see you are working on a track for our ATEF! Another rule that you might not have noticed is that your track must be built inside a 10x10 grid.
The tournament is planned for Tuesday 19, h22 GMT+1, so let us know in time if you will be joining us.
I also recommend subscribing to our Telegram channel: together with tournaments news, you will also be noticed when people are arranging for racing (usually early afternoon h15-16 and night h22-23)
