Early Access Build 20 is probably the biggest update to the modding tools so far - introducing Ravenscript, a Lua based scripting language that allows you to completely change the way the game works! If you're interested in getting started with Ravenscript, you can find the documentation here: http://ravenfieldgame.com/ravenscript/. Make sure you join the discord server if you have any questions: https://discord.com/invite/ravenfield



Thanks to EaglePancake for creating a video teaser for the update!


Along with Ravenscript, build 20 also adds Mutators to the game. Mutators are small or big tweaks to the gameplay that can be downloaded directly from the Steam Workshop. There are even some built in mutators bundled with the official game which you can enable by clicking the Mutators button in the Instant Action menu.

Here is the game running with the official Crosshair and Name Tag mutators:





The modding community has already been busy at work creating Mutators which you can find in the Workshop. Here are some of my favorites:

Weapon Pickup by Chryses - Killed soldiers will drop their weapons, allowing you to pick them up:

Juggernaut by EaglePancake - A random enemy becomes super powered with tons of health. Try to take them out or just run away:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2050327062


Blink by Atherline5 - Inspired by Dishonored, this mutator allows you to blink around the battlefield:

Sized by Lordaloa - Change the size of the soldiers. Maybe set up a battle where you are attacked by giant Ravens?

You can find more mutators on the workshop:

The old Battalions mode has also recieved an update, with improvements to gameplay and UI. The game mode has now been renamed to Battle. Battle is now the default game mode for resource maps in Conquest mode.

Finally, Reinforcements in Conquest mode now cost gold. This means that you need to carefully consider when to spawn reinforcements and when to keep your gold. Spawning reinforcements in your HQ is cheaper compared to spawning them in the field. Additionally, some tech tree entries now also cost gold.



Here is the full change log for EA20:

Modding:
- Added Ravenscript, a scripting language for Ravenfield based on Lua.
- Added Mutators, which are prefabs that are spawned in at the start of a game. These prefabs can contain Ravenscript behaviours that alter the game.
- Added Mutator Configurations, some mutators have a wrench button on the mutator selection page. Click the wrench button to show all configurable options of that mutator.
- Added bindable console key.
- Open the console while testing a content mod to see the mod's memory footprint.
- Added Crosshair Mutator
- Added Name Tags Mutator
- Added Chat Feed Mutator
- Added Mutator tag to the workshop browser.

Conquest:
- In Conquest mode, you now need to spend gold to buy reinforcements. Spawning reinforcements in your main base is cheaper than at the center of the world map.
- Some tech tree items also cost gold to buy.
- Fixed a Conquest AI bug where the AI would sometimes try to defend levels that the player couldn't attack.
- Misc Conquest AI improvements.

Game:
- Reworked Battalions mode, and renamed to Battle. Holding two thirds or more flags will bleed enemy tickets. Reducing an enemy battalion's ticket count to 0 will prevent some enemy bots from spawning, giving you a slight advantage in numbers.
- Improved stability on ground vehicles, in particular the quadbike.
- The game will now warn you if you load so many mods that they cause performance issues. This is based on the available RAM on your computer.
- Fixed the halloween quest being broken.
- Fixed camera offset bugs when seated in a vehicle or climbing ladders.
- Added a -modstagingpath launch parameter that can change the folder the game loads mods from. This has no effect on loading workshop mods.
- Fixed a bug causing the AI to switch to their sidearm way more than they should.

I hope you will enjoy this update!

Changes:

• Increased the visibility of hit indicators at the edge of the screen. This should help players better understand which direction they are taking damage from.
  
• Improved melee attack hit feedback by playing hit visual effects (VFX) at a more prominent position.
  
• Updated Hive collision box to be more accurate. Hives will no longer block projectiles that appear to not hit them.
  
• Fixed a bug that that caused headshots to count as bodyshots in some circumstances.
  
• Increased volume of standard and critical hit sounds.
  
• Updated hit feedback audio to make damage dealt and received sounds easier to hear.
  
• Updated melee hit sounds to be more impactful.
  
• Integrated enhanced hit feedback audio for signature attacks and abilities.

Ajonah
Changes:

• Updated Ajonah's projectile trail to make it easier to see where she is shooting.
  
• Updated Ajonah's projectile hit effect to make hits easier to recognize.

Drakahl
Changes:

• Updated hit audio on Chop [Left Mouse Button] attack to be more impactful.
  
• Updated melee hit VFX for Drakahl to be more impactful.

Earl
Bug fixes:

• Star-Ball Energy Drink [tier 5 upgrade]: Updated description text to show it removes damage-over-time effects and not negative status effects. Developer's note: The wording for this upgrade was confusing. This change is purely a text update; the upgrade's effect is unchanged.

Rahi & Brother

• Developer's Note: We felt that the travel time for Brother was a little slow in some combat situations. This change will allow Brother to start at a faster initial speed, which means he can more quickly reach his maximum speed (16m/s). This change should make Brother's movement feel more responsive.

Changes:

• Scouting Ahead [Shift]: Brother's initial movement speed increased from 4 m/s to 12 m/s.

Bug fixes:

• Rahi & Brother's theme music will now play correctly.

Sazan
Changes:

• Sazan's voice line for throwing her electroknife now only triggers after a successful hit on a combat target.

Shakirri
Developer's Note: Shakirri's kit has a wealth of utility, and after testing, we feel that a small damage increase should allow her to feel more self-sufficient in fights without being too powerful in team settings.
Changes:

• Sword damage increased from 65 to 70.
  
• Pistol damage increased from 55 to 60.
  
• Updated hit audio on basic sword attack to be more impactful.
  
• Updated melee hit VFX for Shakirri to be more impactful.

Tosca
Bug fixes:

• Rappi-Shot Stabilizier [tier 3 upgrade]: Fixed bug that caused Rappi-Shot Stabilizer to allow Tosca to shoot too quickly. This upgrade now correctly increases firing speed by 10%. Developer's note: This bug fix is restoring Rappi-Shot Stabilizer to its intended speed. With the upgrade fixed, we expect it to still be a viable addition to Tosca's loadout without being too strong.

GAME MODES
General

• Updated matchmaking rules to further increase the likelihood of players being matched in an appropriate region. This may result in longer queue times but will lead to higher-quality matches.
  
• Disabled the Alpha Hunters game mode. Please note that we'll be turning off battle pass challenges for Alpha Hunters soon. In the meantime, remember that you can swap out one challenge each day through the challenge display in the lobby. For the time being, we’ve increased the number of daily challenge swaps from 1 to 2. For more information on this change, please see our most recent developer update.

This build introduces the new AI Strength logic - now the setting works more similarly to how it did in AMS1, as a more straight-forward AI Grip multiplier, without affecting other aspects of AI performance & behavior, to offer a much wider and more consistent scalar for setting up AI difficulty.

As in AMS1, the AI Strength slider is now restricted to a range of 70-120%, with default setting being 90% and a setting of 100% being equivalent of real world performance. Beware however that the AI in some series may still misbehave at extreme ends of the scale, and that that the new system still requires further callibration for consistency from series to series.

Given the relevance of the AI Strength development to making game more adjustable for a wider range of player skills, we´ve decided to roll this on to release already rather than hold it for v1.0.

V0.9.6 also features further physics & FFB fine tuning and a new batch of car suspension animations. Below is the full V0.9.6.0 CHANGELOG:

UI & HUD

• Reinstated time acceleration for Single Player events

FORCE FEEDBACK

• Revised code to fix (or at least mitigate) issues with FFB causing wheel to pull hard right or left in some circunstances
  
• Increased input rates to 500Hz and limited FFB rate to 360Hz to minimise potential issues with asynchronous rates
  
• Further fine-tuned all car-specific max force, filters & smoothing levels to suit final FFB system and latest tyre physics developments

PHYSICS

• Fixed stalled player engine in rolling starts and in some cases when switching from AI control (still needs multiplayer testing)
  
• Minor tread adjustments for F-Vintage, Trucks, GT, SuperV8, prototype & road tyres
  
• Reduced default brake pressure to 90% (same as AMS1 - setting remains adjustable from car setup for player preferences)
  
• Slightly increased optimum brake temperature ranges for both steel & carbon brakes
  
• Reduced contact factor in open wheelers (further minimising extreme reactions in wheel-to-wheel collisions)
  
• Reduced incremental lift with radiator opening setting
  
• MRX: Fixed wrong brake fade ranges in all variants
  
• Ultima GTR: Fixed rear brake cooling on Road version
  
• F-Vintage: Adjusted default differential settings for better driveability

AI

• Added new Opponent AI Strength logic
  
• Clamped opponent AI Strength range to 70-120%
  
• Added customized parameter per car for AI brake application
  
• Further reduced AI throttle application gap dependingon AI driver skill level
  
• Further callibration of AI performance
  
• Further reduced AI brake grip in GT / prototype

s
TRACKS

• Jerez: curbs UV2 mapping correction; fixed LOD issues with inner grass; conformed started grid lines to latest road noise & other minor fixes
  
• Interlagos: Updated trackside cameras

VEHICLES

• Toned down dirty layer on rear view mirrors
  
• Added suspension animations for all Caterhams, F-Trainers & F-Vintage

Greetings everyone!

I released version 1.25.0.10 this morning. This build contains a few bug fixes, polishes, and gameplay balancing tweaks. Most noticeable is an adjustment of vehicle prices between 1920 and 1990. No changes came to the buyer population, but to counter increased sales, I adjusted the AI car designer system and pricing. I hope this balances out the reduction in prices. Please leave feedback on the balancing of these two things (the new vehicle prices and the changes to the AI) after you have played a few hours. https://steamcommunity.com/app/285110/discussions/0/3342162929519713346/


You may notice volatile sales in the first few months of playing an existing save game because of these changes. Also, you have to design new components and vehicles to take advantage of the price changes.


Finally, many translations are coming along nicely. Spanish, French, and Italian are nearly 100% finished. I will add tutorial audio for these languages in the next build. The Brazilian community has come alive in the last couple of months thanks to ChratosGameplay and many other streamers! The response is overwhelming! Thanks to the community, the PT translation has come a long way. Hopefully, the community will complete it by v1.25.0.11, and we’ll be able to include audio tutorials for it.


So what’s next? We’re getting close to final release, so for v1.25.0.11, I plan on implementing a new set of video tutorials. These tutorials will cover basic gameplay, basic concepts, advanced concepts, and basic economic theory (supply and demand). Are there any video tutorials you’d like to see? Let me know here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/285110/discussions/0/2291716608416628558/


Beyond that, it’s the standard fair of bug fixes, polishing, and map tweaks. Version 1.25.0.11 will take a little longer than normal, as the video tutorials take some time to make, and I have been doing extensive playtesting to get everything ready for full release.
