RoweRC 0.1.8 - APEX city test build
RoweRC 0.1.8 - APEX city test build
Preserves the 3D APEX city and adds grounded road height/banking, city obstacle contacts, matching camera height, and support for driving beyond the native 18-metre arena limit. Stock tracks keep their native pawn tick. Deformation remains off.
Downloads
Both players need RoweRC 0.1.8 and the same map ZIP. RC Tandems Epic v2.2.5 / build 1801ffbdfe, UE 5.7.4 is required.
Existing RoweRC 0.1.6 / 0.1.7 users
Use F8 -> Maps -> Check for mod update, wait for the download, then close RC Tandems so it can install. Relaunch afterward. The helper carries and automatically extracts its verified terrain dependency; the previous updater does not need a new file-type permission. A clean/full install remains available above; extract it and run RoweRC/Install.ps1 with PowerShell 7 while the game is closed. Upgrades from 0.1.5 require the full installer.
Add the city map
Keep the map ZIP intact and copy it to %LOCALAPPDATA%/RoweRC/Maps/Inbox. Open F8 -> Maps -> Reload custom maps, restart RC Tandems, select APEX Wangan City, and choose Load / change host map. Use the native Drive button if the game opens at the Bench. Guests then follow the host's selected map. The updater and lobbies do not download the city ZIP automatically.
Validation and limits
105 backend checks, 11 Lua collision checks, terrain/contact tests, live height/banking and camera checks, all four native arena limits, stock-track tick restoration, and installation through the actual 0.1.7 updater passed. Release archives and map payload hashes were verified.
Experimental test release: a full city lap and two-PC driving/impact acceptance remain unverified. This supplies grounded driving; airborne dynamics are not implemented. Some source texture images were not supplied, so some surfaces use their imported material colors. Car contact remains experimental and the host enables it in Online.
