Re-Volt I/O - Maintaining Game Packs

Maintaining Game Packs


All game downloads can be accessed via distribute.re-volt.io, a site generated by a Python script written by Huki and Marv.

All links found on the page are persistent. That means they will stay the same throughout different game and pack versions. You can use them on the website without having to update them with every new release.

File Locations

The game files are located at re-volt.io/distribute/assets and can be reached with an FTP client like FileZilla.

Ask Marv for the FTP details and password.

Maintaining Packs

It's very important to adjust the following setting in FileZilla:

To update a pack, simply replace/delete the files within the pack folder in question.

After doing so, the pack version must be updated. Open the text file located at re-volt.io/distribute/assets, e.g. re-volt.io/distribute/assets/io_tracks.txt, remove the old date and replace it with a more recent date, e.g. 18.0522.
The pattern is yy.mmdd

After updating the pack, the downloads have to be regenerated.

Regenerating Downloads

Downloads can be updated by executing the script. Visiting the link below will do so on page load. Every time the link is visited, the script will check if the version numbers have changed. It will then generate new game downloads and pack downloads. Every time, the status page distribute.re-volt.io will be updated as well.
