0.4 AllDrive release
Version 0.4 - AllDrive (Patching issues from previous versions)
Welcome to another release! This time it fixes issues from previous versions (Some are from 0.2 and 0.1 and even 0.0!). Finishing what i started - AllDrive
This time i kept track of what ive changed during Alpha releases of 0.4:
- Changed HARDDRIVE interactions (mute, route and other stuff)
- Finished Garage UI text for both Racer and Cop (with plot twist, thats why it includes swear words)
- Changed EXTRAS to info related to mod, has compatiblity issue with Rivals+ but i dont plan on fixing that because Grabuss hardcoded that shit. Sorry
- Changed selection buttons
- Changed car naming (still need to be worked on, just small fixes)
- Fucking FINALLY after 4 major releases - Shockwave is now "funi air"
- Decided to not be lazy and change repeating "pro tips" found during loading screen
- Now the regretting your life when restarting event actually encorages you to do it to see funny results
- Replaced quite alot lines which used CAPS because we all are BLIND
- Replaced several lines in HARDDRIVE because why now?
- Added mod date release as well as more mod info
- Now Heated Game is considered Friends, but you dont have any (requires fixing since its long as fuck)
- After ALL THOSE RELEASES i finally found THE LAST "pro tip" to replace. Now all that shit is different
- Officially my will to live is at its lowest
That should summerize everything
There is less and less things to replace, and im running out of ideas after changing over 700 lines. Yeah, shitton of text
Dont expect any Alpha in 2024, maybe only 1 but no more than that
0.5a1
Welcome to yet another release - this time 0.5!
Version 0.5 is dedicated to community, which means that YOU get to choose what will appear in BRT.
Already did some things here and there, dont expect any alphas this year
- Started changing those tasks for career or some shit
- Changed names for chapters
- Now binds are... accurate
- AllDrive "Friends" got replaced to "Lonely ass", because you have no friends. Dont lie
- Obviously replaced all 0.4 text with 0.5
- Attempted to force replace some text from Rivals+ (it didnt work)
You know where to send feedback, report issues if any or something idk
0.4a5 (RC1)
Final Alpha for 0.4 but under new name - Release Candidate!
Release Candidate release is basically final polishing, before it will be released.
This time i decided to make this more universal for those that arent in Heated yet.
- Size increase, but its a minor one - from 70kb to 71kb. It was few lines
- Some text related to HARDDRIVE was replaced because it was long
- Mod Info section updated with details about new release
- Now "Heated game" (used to be Friends session) is now back to Friends Session, but do you have friends tho?
- Finally found the final "tip" that was default - now everything during loading screen is replaced by Better Rivals Text!
- Slowly started working on addon to BRT. Dont expect anything big from that
So, last release huh? Or maybe there will be another RC? Dont worry, 0.4 Final will be released most likely by the end of November, if not earlier
Car go vroom
0.4a4
0.4a4 is available
Alright, enough saying that "i did something" without saying what i did. So here, this might be long
List of changes in this Alpha release
- Mod size increased from 67kb to 70kb (quite alot for some text)
- FINALLY solved issue where Shockwave had... default text
- Changed some "pro tips" during loading screens, so there shouldnt be repeating ones like "to get to Heated you need to finish story on cop" and same thing for racer
- Fixed spelling mistakes
- Changed "Priority Blacklist" section in Harddrive to "Mod info" with some info about current release
- Added POSSIBLE full release date
- Instead of DO NOT CLICK THIS, there is now DO if you want to regret. Most likely will change it to something else
- Fixed cut off text on intro screen
- Added release date of Alpha (Wont be implemented with full release, reserved only for Alpha)
- Some lines of text dont use CAPS
- Shockwave will be reworked in next Alpha (New name?)
Yeah, quite alot for this Alpha. Expect next release... when it will be ready lmao
As always, ANY feedback wouldve been great. Remember that you can use Issues tab to suggest changes
Dodge Charger is Boat 2.0 - Remember about Dodge Challenger, the original Boat
0.4a3
And so another Alpha got released after a month
Told you not to get used to that
- Managed to change "Select" to "I choose you" (as well as some other slight changes)
- Finally changed cars for racer, some still require a change so i will try to work on them
Ive found many mistakes during loading screen, thats why next Alpha might take a while to be released - kinda hard to hunt those, but you can help out
I didnt find time to work on Alpha 3, and i think that there might be 2 or 3 more Alpha releases
Things mentioned in previous Alpha
- Cop variant changes. Since no one suggested anything, i wont change them. Its about 200 lines to change. Seriously, they didnt organize that shit at all
- Addon is somewhat worked on, for now i dont have anything to add so i might as well release it soon. Either i will create new GitHub page for that or i will include it here if upload limit is above 1gb (Yeah, might be that big)
- 0.5 Community. In next release YOU will be able to choose what to add, but keep your suggestions somewhat normal and not insulting, or something. This is a joke mod, but some things might not be acceptable.
Also, updated CSV for Alpha 3 might be delayed. there is no ETA. All for now
0.4a2
2nd alpha on same day? Dont get used to that!
Just like i said, i managed to do many things in this release. Now lets get over them!
- Changed EXTRAS to something different, i actually created a story of how Heated was formed as well as Better Rivals Text mod fun facts
- Solved few issues with the mod, there still some to do. I keep on forgetting about Shock Wave lol
I mainly focused on EXTRAS, thats why it has been released on the same day - yes, i am aware that some text was replaced incorrectly, i will try to solve it in next Alpha
Still thinking of other changes... what to change here?
- Just like ive mentioned in previous Alpha - cop variant changes. But what should i change them to?
- In 0.3 Final ive mentioned something about addon... i will admit, i havent worked on that since that day - it has many things replaced tho
- Also in 0.3 Final ive mentioned that 0.5 will be a community release, but that doesnt stop you from suggesting changes in 0.4!
0.0 Also known as "0.0 Interceptor release" as the name suggests - was an Interceptor rework. [...]
0.4a1
Welcome to 0.4!
The very first Alpha has been released, it solved couple of issues that were haunting the previous releases...
As always, list of changes is here:
- Changed per player settings (Origin account, mute/unmute) still thinking of changing "Route" text to something else
- Now Cop and Racer (in AllDrive screen when dropping on Hideout/Command post) is done
- Fixed other issues from previous releases
Featured in next Alpha:
- Change of buttons (like "Accept", "Decline")
- IF POSSIBLE (most likely yes) turn EXTRAS into something different, like fun facts about Rivals or other
- Change Cop car variants
- mod.
Quite alot to do huh? You can obviously help out! (So far no one helped... but thats fine
0.3a2
The Racer car naming rework
Honestly, i got bored of plain car naming - so here is something refreshing (Racer only for now)
- Changed most of the car names and added some funny messages
- Help its 1:40am
- Changed text when getting promoted and getting a new car (untested)
But there are some things to add
- Cops. (this will take ages since i would need to edit each one - every. single. one.)
- Possibly change some UI text in garage (maybe)
- Think of 0.4 name
- (If possible) Try to fix Rivals+ Compatibility
You know where to report changes, 0.3 wont have many alpha releases - next alpha might be the final release of 0.3
Expect updates on Discord server
0.2 Race and Hot Pursuit
0.2 Brings couple of changes
- Managed to setup Races and Hot Pursuit - no more CAPS
- Garage UI has new text (Still requires work, will be done in 0.3)
- Attempted to find all "tips" during loading screen, there are still some left
- EasyDrive is now HardDrive
- Summary screens (after you drop out to Hideout or Command post) are fully done
- Found and fixed issues from last release
To do in 0.3
- Pursuit Tech explaination rework
- Shortcut Pursuit Tech system (for example TURBO, JAM, HELI, BLOCK and so on)
- Another try to find EVERY SINGLE tip that needs to be changed
- Possibly implement some of your ideas
0.2 is all about Races and Hot Pursuit. This is the final version
0.3
0.3 Final Release
Took a long time, eh?
Since now i dont really have ideas, i decided to finish up the one that i started - Pursuit Tech rework
- Now ALL pursuit tech has new text (just because its new, doesnt mean that its useful lol)
- Some typo fixes
- Replaced couple of lines to keep it fresh
So what will be released in future?
- The said addon will be released with 0.4
Prepare to have ~1gb of available storage since it wont be that light... - 0.4 will be focused on fixing current issues that are going on, so how about AllDrive?
- I have talked with Grabuss and Better Rivals Text WILL NOT be compatible with Rivals+ because it has text hardcoded (which means that i cant overwrite it)
- Got some ideas? Great, 0.5 will be for you - prepare some funny text! Show your creativity
As the time goes on, the less alpha updates will be released. Thank you to all alpha testers for feedback. Soon enough there will be first 0.4a1!
