Riven X 0.6

Monday, May 19, 2008 in Projects | 30 comments

Riven X 0.6 is now available and is a significant update from 0.5. Major new features include:

  • Water animation
  • Cursors
  • Transitions

In addition, all the important Riven script commands have been implemented, which means most of the engine is now functional, besides what is implemented by external functions (which includes most of the complex puzzles). Of course, a large number of bugs have been fixed since the previous release as well.

The next release is scheduled for the end of the summer and will focus on implementing a portion of the complex puzzles, as well as saving and loading games.

Download Riven X 0.6.

    Wow..this is awesome!! Just to check, right now there is no way of saving/loading games (you have to start from the beginning each time)?

    Also, is there a way to change the background color so it is not the bright blue (perhaps even fit -to-screen)?
    I seem to get to the setup ok but I cannot get pass the audio setup. IF this is still in development, that is cool. I just want to make sure I am not doing something wrong.

    THanks and keep up the excellent work.

    Saving and loading will be introduced in 0.7, correct. You can use the Debug menu to summon the debug shell and jump to any card or set any variable, if you want to check a particular area.

    The blue background color indicates it’s a debug build. Release builds, which I do not yet produce, use black as one would assume.

    Fullscreen mode is slated for later, perhaps 0.7 if not 0.8.

    Not being able to return to the main menu after running through the setup screen is not implemented. Don’t go there for now :p

    Thanks for the update.
    But there are still various glitches i noticed.

    1) I can’t look at my inventory.
    2) Transitions are sometimes late.
    3) I can’t drag, pull, or push anything such as certain levers. (e.g. such as the floor lever inside the whark elevator).
    4) Not exactly a glitch, but i would be helpful…fullscreen support.

    1) Not implemented yet, see https://home.devklog.net/projects/rivenx/ticket/88.
    2) Could you elaborate on that, or provide me with a reproducible case? Better yet would be to file a ticket on the Trac wiki with your system’s specs (type of Mac, RAM, processor speed, GPU, etc).
    3) Those levers are implemented using what are called external functions. Those basically implement the more complex puzzles in the game and are not implemented at all in 0.6. They will be the focus on all the upcoming releases.

    Hello everyone,

    First, I want to say I really love Riven. But I don’t understand the whole Debug things! My English isn’t perfect and that is one of the reasons. But I would like to ask one question: Can I ever play Riven with OSX just like the way I could with OS9 and not with these confusing card things?

    Thanks for reading!

    is there any place where i can find a list with stack and card numbers?
    when i enter some random numbers, riven x crashes (card 10 3 for example). “Stack descriptor object is nil or of the wrong type. NSInvalidArgumentException”.

    Answering your question to the transitions, I was meaning that sometimes it takes a few seconds to move from one frame to another. It’s not that bad, I was just letting you know. Remember to fix the drag and pull bug, it’s very important for you can’t go to much places without it being fixed.

    Could you provide your hardware configuration? I’ll very hard to improve the performance without knowing what can potentially affect it.

    Dragging and pulling is not a bug per se, it’s just not done yet :p

    See http://insidethelink.ortiche.net/wiki/index.php/Riven_engine_overview for a list of stacks. Card numbers begin at 1. That should get you going.

    Riven X is still in development, and every version available so far has been a debug version, hence includes the debug shell. The debug shell allows you to directly control the engine. See http://www.devklog.net/2006/02/03/riven-x-tech-demo/ for an introduction to using the debug shell.

    Riven X is complete enough, however, that you start a new game by selecting “New Game” from the main menu and going from there. Of course, saving your game is not yet available, so the debug shell is still pretty useful.

    If you mean to say that Riven X crashes on launch, then please open a tick on the wiki at https://home.devklog.net/projects/rivenx and include as an attachment the crash log, which will be in ~Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Riven X.crash.

    The wiki link was bad and I’ve now fixed it. The link in the wiki navigation bar however was correct. Please file a ticket :)

    As the wiki-server is down, I post the bug report here:

    I tried to run the binary, it crashed on my new MacBook Pro. Then I tried to build it from source with Xcode, but I get a build error:

    mbieg:
    You can port bug reports on Launchpad now. See the link from the blog entry. In any case, I find it really strange that the binary (I assume Riven X 0.6) crashes on launch in the manner that your crash log suggests. In fact, the build failure you got from a script in project designed for Subversion that I haven’t yet updated for Bazaar would lead to a crash that matches the crash report you posted. So I’m wondering if you didn’t by accident copy the wrong crash, or overwrote the downloaded binary?

    I have a question about the debug text. everytime I type card or something Riven X just shuts down by itself. Any solution?

    [quote comment="2051"]…..(sigh)….I wish someone could create Myst X. That would be great.[/quote]

    Not a complete solution I know, but RealMyst works just fine. I actually finished playing it last night on my mac pro running 10.5.3 with only one crash at the start. Then i pulled out my Riven disc’s this evening to find them classic only (hence looking for Riven X)
    Although i’m all for supporting RivenX, you can get riven working in windows i found out first (i just damn well hate windows…)

    The card command in the debug shell takes 2 arguments. The command works like this: card . An example would be card tspit 80.

    There are some limitations to Riven X’s architecture that will lead to Riven X quitting when an error occurs in the debug shell. Ideally, the debug shell should just report those errors, but that work has not been done yet.

    nope, I downloaded it again and it’s the new binary that crashes. look at the Version: 0.6 (435) sorry :S

    off-topic:
    I’d love to see Cyan (or the guys then working there) releasing the 3D-models for Riven to the public. I’m sure there were some volunteers willing to render the images in higher resolutions, maybe even making 360°-views like in the newer Myst games and putting the game together again, of course making it run on newer OSs. Because I think it’s still one of the best games ever, the story, the puzzles and of course the ambience and atmosphere!! It’s a shame all this work is lost for many people as the game isn’t in stores anymore and newer OSs don’t support it anymore.

    Please file a bug report on Launchpad and include the crash log. What language are you running your system under? Is it something other than English? Did you disable the English localization in the Localization preference pane?

    yeah, I use German. Posted the crash log on Launchpad..

    yep, I love riven. probably because it’s the game that my dad played with me when i was seven years old. well, after years of “growing up”, which just means “getting a bit older” I am a full Mac user. Dang and blast, I can’t run the game me and my father played together twelve years ago, and I’m upset. surprised? no. upset? Oh yes. thank you, jean, for allowing me to revisit this moment of my childhood once again. I must urge you to complete this project, because i know a lot of guys are loving this. but I need you to do this because it’s this game that made the penny drop; “oh, you point and click and THIS happens!”

    cheers, dave

    Just thanking you for all your work on Riven. I found a copy of mine in a garage! And with your help I can play it on my mac book – no complaints here, accept I’d love for it to be full screen.
