Rigs of Rods Anonymous 03/05/15 (Thu) 07:39:13 No.316

Caveat lector: OP video is not the game. See second post.

I've been checking out this simulator called Rigs of Rods. Basically a vehicle simulator with soft-body physics. It has pretty nice physics, deformation, destruction for the vehicles. Buses, cars, trucks, trains, airplanes even.

It uses the OGRE graphics engine (MIT License). One of the better free projects I've seen using that. I know some commercial projects have used OGRE.

Video shows it off, but you need to install mods (drop some .zip files in a directory) to get all the shit, much is community made. Starting out, expect to have to start the vehicle, then expect to get stuck a bunch on the terrain. It's not easy to drive, not an arcade game. Not *that* hard though you get used to it.

It think it's neat hope people keep adding to it.

I'm running it on Arch, added a repo I found on the official website, installed it from there. Works well on my old desktop, but I do have a modern-ish graphics card. Seems to max my dual-core CPU though.

Reading it over, I meant to mention that RoR is GLP3, the OGRE engine it uses is MIT.

Also I hope it wasn't posted already, sorry if it was.

The website has packages for Ubuntu etc. Like I said, for Arch they have a repo.

I'm on an old C2D with 6GB ram and newer value card GTX 750, with proprietary drivers. Runs fine with it cranked up, CPU does get alt of usage though.

It has multiplayer support, but there's not much "game" that I can tell. More of a simulator/sandbox, make your own game. Would be neat for somebody to mod it in a new direction, add some stuff to do

They have trains, but as far as I can tell nobody has attempted multi-track drifting… yet

If anybody else knows of any open projects using OGRE, let me know.

I think I screwed this thread up. First video is from BeamNG.drive, a non-free game but similar to RoR.

At least you're trying dude. I will make a minor adjustment to the OP.

Cool game btw.
