TLD RevaMP 0.69.1 (dev build)

Development pre-release from dev: the in-game mod browser, readable Windows/Linux installers, and the GPL-3.0 source release.

Dev build: this pre-release comes from dev; main is unchanged. Existing v0.69.0 playtest caveats still apply.

Install

Use The Long Drive on Steam, beta branch: Library > right-click The Long Drive > Properties > Betas > choose beta. Back up your saves first (Documents\TheLongDrive\Saves). Everyone in a multiplayer session should update together.

On Windows, download and read install.ps1, then run it with PowerShell and choose install/update. On Linux or Steam Deck, download and read install.sh, then run bash install.sh and choose install/update. Both scripts check their downloads against pinned SHA-256 values, back up replaced files, and offer repair and uninstall. The Linux script sets the Proton DLL override.

For manual installation, extract TLD-RevaMP-0.69.1.zip into the game folder so winhttp.dll sits beside TheLongDrive.exe. On Linux/Steam Deck, also set Steam launch options to:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%

Start the game and check that the overlay shows TLD Revamp 0.69.1.

Changes since v0.69.0

• Settings > Revamp > Mods opens the approved-mod browser contributed by AnonymousTLD. Downloads require a locally approved DLL hash; installation and removal take effect after restarting the game.
• The browser reads its catalog from dev, where the catalog is available. Head Unit 0.2.0 and Car Trailer 0.1.1 use their original release assets; both are approved by their exact DLL hashes.
• The catalog uses BepInEx GUIDs (tldrevamp.headunit, tldrevamp.cartrailer). Head Unit's multiplayer registration id remains headunit. Its catalog baseline remains RevaMP 0.68.0.
• The readable installer scripts support install/update, repair and uninstall on Windows and Linux/Steam Deck.
• Project code and the multiplayer API are GPL-3.0. The example mods' sources and READMEs are included in the repository.
• Contributor checks run on pushes to dev as well as main.

Source history

The mod-browser commit 62b7282 is already in dev once; PR #5 was closed after the commit reached the branch directly. The v0.69.0 release tag points to 59215da. The later commit 314a00e, also titled “TLD RevaMP 0.69.0”, only published example-mod sources and documentation; it is not a second release. Shared commit history is preserved.

Validation

Two-machine smoke suite: 38/38 checks, covering driving/joining (6), inventory (6), crate loot (8), bullet stopping (3), and worn items through a ride and rejoin (15). Mod-catalog and network-reader unit tests, all eight Python helper tests, ShellCheck and PowerShell syntax checks pass. Both installer scripts pass install, repair and uninstall against the final pinned downloads on a stand-in game folder. The packaged BepInEx files match its official release, and the public source and packaged DLLs pass the privacy checks.
