Hey people, rBok6 here.

You know I've been supporting this software called Evolve since 2011 and I think this software will help us revive TrueCombat when the new release comes to light.

As some of you know, one of the greatest tools in gaming (Xfire) is officially dead that's where Evolve comes in. Like Xfire, Evolve is a social gaming platform which means you can track gameplay, capture media, stream, create parties (matchmakin and direct IP included) and also create scheduled gaming sessions. You also have advanced options like static IP for the advance server admins.

So I created and Evolve group a few months to gather all TC fans in one place. This will help us know when someone who has joined this group is playing a TC game or maybe drop him a line if he's playing another game .

I already sent the detection rules for TC Elite, TC CQB and CQB_DIM. Currently you can now track gameplay and create parties for TC Elite and CQB. I'm waiting for CQB_DIM comfirmation.

BTW, I forgot to mention you can write your own XML detecion rules for your favorite games, isn't that awesome? I'm also waitng for the new CQB so I can write the detection rule for that game. I hope to be the first

There you have it, I'm gonna leave here the most important links to get you started with Evolve.

Mine's rBok6 and here's my profile: https://www.evolvehq.com/players/rbok6

That's all for now people. If you have questions please post them here and i'll be happy to answer them if I can.
Have fun using Evolve and tracking TrueCombat gameplay. The party system will help us connect with each other and join a TC matches easier.

I forgot to give you the games profiles so you can give them a thumbs up and they will appear on your profile's favorite games.

TCE:

CQB:

Let's see who becomes the top 5 players.

CQB_DIM - Is not really a mod to be shared with public, You should check Coroners Blog, you will see official CQB has life.

I know coroner is working on the new update. I'm just saying "revive" because the forums have been quiter than a morgue lately. This is just to give the players some fresh.

And I know CQB_DIM is not really a mod to be shared with public. I'm not sharing it. I'm just enabling people to track gameplay for that mod. isthat bad?

It is up to people if the decide to download CQB_DIM or not.

Yea, CQB is active internally at the moment. Once released, some players may not know the difference between the two.

Anyway, I came here to suggest that maybe you post about this on the official TC Facebook page - you will get more views/hits that way (or just link to this thread).

I agree with Diane post it on FB and steam group. Players won't probably install evolvehq just for tce as most of players are using steam. Maybe we could also suggest tce to be played one of more popular streamers on twitch or tce players just stream it.

Hey, Thanks both for the tip. I'll probably do that.
But it would be nice a little help from the official comunity manager, maybe recomend my group officially on FB? Besides I'm not doing this for personal gain or benefit. I'm doing this for the benefit of the mods.

I really think this is a good way to keep people coming back to the mods and it will be very helpful when the new release is out.

I hear some people asking for servers and saying there are not online players, well then join this group and you'll know who's active and who's not.

The awesome thing about Evolve is that You can create your own party or "server" if you want, then share your IP on the group's chat and that's it people could connect directly to your LAN ETDED.exe server. is that so hard?



I know we all love Steam and everything but... the thing is you can't track gameplay for TC mods with Steam or maybe you can if you add the game as a custom one but Evolve has the advantage here because once a detection rule is submmited, it creates a dedicated game profile with a lot of features like forums, charts and rating system. (just to name a few) Also TCE has been greenlit but the truth is that you can't play or download the game there yet. (and this doesn't mean you can download games on Evolve).

Another good thing about Evolve is that it integrates perfectly with Steam, PSN, Xbox live and more. So if you join Evolve you'll have the option sync your accounts and have all your trophies, unlocks and achivements there.

And a little note about streaming is that Evolve's streaming capabilities are powered by Twitch so It will be familiar for streamers. The only thing is that currently you can't stream or capture media for ET.exe or its mods. It seems there's a bug with the main ET.exe but It's just a matter of time for Evolve to find a fix. And currently no one has suggested that fix.

CQB_DIM Evolve Profile:

Good news You can now track gameplay for CQB_DIM too!

Here's the game profile: https://www.evolvehq.com/games/4438

Sorry for the lack of quoting, but I will post this information on the fb and steam groups later, no problem.

I have yet to check this out, but it seems very interesting.

Yeah thanks, I already posted the link on both FB and Steam group. But It think it will be more visible as an official post/recommendation.

And yes, you all should register too @Diane @Dim$tar @luka TC mods needs all of us. Also I can make you admins of the group too if you want.

I'll join, but I won't be able to play since my A8-6410/R5+R7 refuses to run ET at anything other than 6 fps... :(

You need the fix I posted on forums, Here is a link to save you searching.

I used this fix on HD7870 and R9295 Cards... it also works on most other older opengl games.

You're welcome

I could kiss you! :D

Good news folks!

Now You can use Evolve's amazing in-game overlay with all TrueCombat mods including CQB_DIM.
With Evolve's overlay enabled people will be able to record video, take screenshots, stream to twitch, use web browsing and chatting features in-game. Now You can share your favorite TrueCombat media with the world! Ain't that awesome?

Now go! Start spreading TrueCombat content all over the internet.

I'll make a forum post very soon about how to use Evolve to create LAN matches for those that are not familiar with Evolve yet.

Here a preview of Evolve's overlay:

I tried to sign up but got "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again or contact support." and it doesn't let me contact support because I don't have account...

Maybe the servers were down for its regular manteniance when You tried. did you try again?
