Ravenfield – How to Enable and Play in Multiplayer

Greetings! If you are currently perusing this manual, it is likely that you have an interest in the multiplayer aspect I mentioned earlier. I have created a guide specifically for Russian players and wanted to check if there were any English guides available for RavenM in the popular section, but unfortunately, my search yielded no results.

To rectify this oversight, I am here to provide you with a comprehensive guide. لذا, sit back, get yourself a cup of your preferred beverage, some snacks, and prepare to observe and learn!

Multiplayer Mode

لتبدأ, let me acquaint you with the available multiplayer options for this game: RFMP (which is no longer active and features a cumbersome hosting system that necessitates port forwarding and a white IP) and RavenM. RavenM is a mod that allows you to engage in multiplayer gameplay in Ravenfield (as the name suggests).

Unlike RFMP, RavenM enables the use of mods (including mutators, although some may not function properly), facilitates easy game hosting with just an internet connection and the game itself, و, الأهم من ذلك, it is an active and regularly updated mod. The developers are actively involved in its maintenance. الآن, you may be wondering about the installation process for RavenM. All you need is a legitimate copy of Ravenfield and Discord because we will acquire the mod from the official RavenM server.

ابدء

كما ذكر سابقا, you will require Discord as we will obtain the mod file from there. Although not immediately, I will provide the link for your convenience. Click here to join. If you prefer a concise explanation, feel free to join the server right away and follow the instructions provided. For those who prefer more detailed instructions, please continue reading this guide.

الآن, let’s proceed with acquiring BepInEx, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the mod. Here is the link to download BepInEx, which offers three versions: Unix for macOS and Linux, x64 for 64-bit Windows, and x86 for 32-bit Windows. If you are a macOS or Linux user, kindly follow the provided link as I am personally unfamiliar with the installation process on those systems.

Upon completing the download process, you will need to locate the Ravenfield folder. للقيام بذلك, right-click on the game in your library and select “Properties.” التالي, click on the “الملفات المحلية” tab and choose “Browse.” Once you have accessed the Ravenfield folder, proceed to copy all the files from the downloaded archive (excluding the changelogs, as they are not necessary) into the Ravenfield folder.

الآن, it is important to launch the game at least once to allow BepInEx to generate the required configuration files. After launching the game, you can close it, and we can now return to the Discord server (the link is provided at the beginning of the guide in case you misplaced it). Navigate to the “welcome-rules” section and click on the bug reaction.

تهانينا! You have successfully completed the necessary steps. نتيجة ل, you now have access to additional channels. Proceed to the “beta-files” channel, where you can acquire the 0.4_RC2 version. This particular version is highly recommended as it offers the most features and is widely used by the majority of server members.

Once you have finished downloading the mod, you should proceed to place each file from the downloaded archive into the Ravenfield/BepInEx/plugins directory. After completing this step, launch Ravenfield to activate the mod.

If you can observe the ID displayed in the bottom left corner of your screen, congratulations! You have successfully become a proud RavenM user!

Now that you have installed the mod successfully, proceed to the “Instant Action” section and press the “م” مفتاح. This action will present you with a menu offering two options: “Host” و “Join.” ال “Join” option allows you to connect to servers either through direct connection (if you possess the server ID) or by browsing the server list. على الجانب الآخر, ال “Host” option enables you to establish your own server, providing you with customizable settings that you can modify:

• Member count: This setting determines the maximum number of players allowed on the server, with a maximum limit of 250.
• Friends only: عند التمكين, only friends from your Steam account can join your game.
• Joinable midgame: عند التمكين, it allows anyone to join your game while you are already playing. إذا تم تعطيله, players can only join when you are in the lobby.
• Nametags enabled: عند التمكين, it displays the names of players above their characters.
• For team only: عند التمكين, only teammates can see your nametag.

Once you have hosted a game, you will be in the lobby where you can engage in chat by pressing the “ي” key and modify various settings. لكن, I kindly advise against enabling the “Paint Explosions” خيار. If you are not the host, you can only change your team, unless you are in Spec Ops mode.

During gameplay, you can utilize the all chat feature by pressing the “ي” key or the team chat by pressing the “ش” مفتاح. Pressing the “” key allows you to place a marker on the map (this function is limited to solid ground, objects, والمركبات). Pressing the “” key again while focusing on the marker will delete it. علاوة على ذلك, pressing the “CapsLock” key enables voice chat.

Before I conclude, I would like to inform you that there is a stable version of Ravenfield available specifically for RavenM. To acquire it, access the game’s properties, انقر فوق “Beta Versions,” and enter the code “ihatesingleplayer.” Activate the version, and enjoy your game!
