What's new in RaveM 1.7

1.7.0 added LAN play and 1.7.1 made ballistics a host option. Coming from 1.5.x? The last item covers what 1.6 brought.

• Everyone must update to 1.7.1. It uses network protocol 8, so it doesn't play with 1.7.0 or older: a 1.7.0 player would ignore the host's ballistics rules.
• Ballistics are a host option (1.7.1). HOST GAME > MODE OPTIONS > BALLISTICS sets air drag, wind and bot aim per game mode, for every player in the match. The defaults equal the old ones, and wind gusts are now the same on every PC. Details.
• LAN play (1.7.0). Host with VISIBILITY set to LAN (NO STEAM LOBBY): no Steam lobby, relay or internet connection needed, though the Steam client must run (offline mode is enough). LAN games appear in the server browser marked [LAN], and DIRECT CONNECT joins any address. How LAN play works.
• Spawning and killcam fixes (1.6.5, 1.6.6). Players on clients can respawn again, auto spawn makes sure a spawn point your team owns is selected, and KILLER'S EYES is a true first-person view from the killer's eyes.
• From 1.6. Killcams built on Ultimate Replay 3.0 (the extra UltimateReplay.dll), RaveM's own options for every game mode, auto spawn, and a last stand in Spec Ops and Haunted. How killcams work.
• Files. Since 1.6.4 only RaveM.dll changed. Compared with 1.5.x, UltimateReplay.dll is new and the other nine DLLs are byte-for-byte the same.

Check the download

Optional, and it takes a few seconds. Use whichever of these suits you.

PowerShell

Open the Start menu, type PowerShell, open it and run:

Get-FileHash "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\RaveM_v1.7.1.rar" -Algorithm SHA256

The Hash it prints must match the SHA-256 above, character for character. PowerShell uses capital letters; that makes no difference.

Command Prompt

certutil -hashfile "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\RaveM_v1.7.1.rar" SHA256
