An Overview of Vanilla+ (Ravenfield)

[@Csp499]

Was never too sure how V+ ended up kicking off, so those were some very insightful data points there, and slickly presented to boot. As for why there haven't been many V+ additions lately, it's cos (a) 99% of what I've been wanting to make for it consists of R&D or waiting for RFTools updates, and (b) there's some other projects I've been trying to tend to when I get the time. Don't know if any more mod / project breakdowns are in the pipe, but whatever the case, looking forward to what's next!

[@Lumi788]

The V+ stuff you've already made is more then enough to last quite a while. And the community its created is providing so much new content all the time.

[@nolberggg]

The man himself... glad you enjoyed! It was a fun topic to dig into, and your answers on disc were super helpful with research. Also saw you shared it on the v+ updates channel, which I'm honored by!

[@angoankhachai9333]

The couchman himself

[@cheesytacos6498]

Are you planning on making more altirus mods

[@jamesscalzo3033]

@Csp499 What's up Sofa? Saw Baron's video with Bucky, although it wasn't until this video that I saw what Defeat looked like as far as Bucky's Concerned!

[@CharaGonzalez-lt7yw]

Warning: viewing fanmade V+ lore may be hazardous to your health. Anyways, nice to see you again

[@nolberggg]

Trying to grasp it all hurt my head

[@CharaGonzalez-lt7yw]

​@@nolberggg just one more world map, dude

[@raiderdare7462]

Where?

[@Gamro_]

Eh, it's not hazardous unless it has romance in it, right???

[@dustronyt4565]

yeah >.

[@weeerazer3099]

Great overall summary of the entire thing, I never realised I've been modding Ravenfield regularly for this long

[@nolberggg]

You really do have a pretty big footprint in Ravenfield and have contributed to a lot of stuff. The workshop is lucky to have you!

[@YT-Sash]

Hi weeerazer!!!! 🫡🫡 Love your mods!!

[@jamesscalzo3033]

@weeerazer3099 Glad to see you in the Comments section man! Love what you and Everyone in the Ravenfield Modding Community has done! Don't stop and just keep going man, take some time off if you need to.

[@Fascrot]

What I really like about Vanila+ mods that they manged to create a factions without going to common "Nato vs East" trope Probably because the both (Eagle and Raven) have close resemblance to West alike equipment But they still have their own unique style. Great video btw

[@BasedGrandmasKitchen]

You're the best ravenfeild cc out there!

[@nolberggg]

Thanks :)

[@migueeeelet]

To me, the key thing about V+ that makes is so good is how it provides just enough of what you need. Actual jet planes instead of propellers? Aerial scalation. Skins that are easy to tell appart from eachother while also looking realistics? The basic pack has those. Funnily enough, most of the other V+ addon skins suffer from looking TOO similar to eachother. So overall, V+ makes the perfect baseline for any mod out there, IMO.

[@nemoscoolstuff]

maybe the true vanilla+ lore was the friends we made along the way awesome video btw, loved the editing on this one

[@svijj_]

The transitions go incredibly hard. Another well-researched and insightful video, as always!

[@nolberggg]

Thanks haha, I was happy with them as well. Also seeing your comment reminded me to add the tag for your video!

[@blaze77gun]

Hi man whatsup

[@svijj_]

@blaze77gun Oh hello there!

[@solorhypercane5041]

I remember when vanilla+ was first posted on the workshop

[@madnessman1490]

We are eating good today.

[@TheBiggestRat674]

Indeed we are

[@ultimatechiller]

very nice visuals and a great way to display the most popular ravenfield mod out there, nice job!

[@basicweapons]

damn dude, your videos just keep getting better and better, incredible work

[@nolberggg]

Means a lot, this one definitely took longer than normal to edit so I'm glad the effort is noticed!

[@Lumi788]

People like talking about a game like ravenfield warm my heart

[@KauluMaisas]

Thank you for the review. I haven't realized until watching this video that Vanilla+ is such a detailed collection of mods. I've been subscribed to V+ weapon pack for 2 years and it fells like the mod is a part of default Ravenfield experience now. Thank you, Sofa. P.S. I am (Azeras) probably one the least active modders of 22 on the list. 6 years went by already? Jesus. 😞

[@nolberggg]

This was low key me as well, I never realized just how much "vanilla+" there was until deciding this topic. Also really cool to see you here, Gordian Knot was fun to play, and I also referenced your deployable shield as well! It seems you have the skills, so would be super cool to see if you make anything in the future. (Also Locive is by far the least active, with 2 mods in 2017 and 1 in 2024)

[@themasterchef9784]

ATTENTION: Atherline made a jet pack mutator for us. It is awesome. This day is good

[@YT-Sash]

Hell yeah!!!

[@rileyparsons9314]

another banger transition from nolberggg

[@billblobfish_nz]

guess whos back back again, the goat is back back again.

[@justaboyonyoutube9024]

Really cool video mate! i honestly like your analysis and history vids, hope to see more of that, keep it up!

[@nolberggg]

Glad you liked it :) as I delve into certain topics I get lost in recognizing what's interesting to my audience, so I'm glad to hear its a good video!

[@Fronk_y]

Prayers == Answered, he is back

[@gamingbanana7618]

Great editing man, deserves way more views

[@nolberggg]

Thanks :)

[@Goldenslayer]

Bro remembered the password💀

[@Muunk67]

babe wake up, the ravenfield goat dropped again

[@YT-Sash]

Oohrah!!! Nolberg! Nolberg! Nolberg! Oohraaaah!

[@nolberggg]

Oohrah!🫡

[@ahmadbani1452]

Hell yea a topic that makes Nolberggg throw less graphs and numbers

[@sashapinesnguyenhienhoa8003]

I didnt expect to have lore in these mini mods

[@nicolala7132]

Stupid question, are his mods still good in todays update of Ravenfield?

[@heatedchocolate2]

Grebe mention, mom I'm famous

[@nolberggg]

Wow its the brains behind the Grebe faction... also the weapon pack is pretty sick so thanks for willing that into existence!

[@usshill721]

3:41 The Kodiak tank more reminds me of a Chinese conceptual lighter MBT design with some other tanks mixed in there. Would explain its Union origins. Still, great vid!

[@anonemoose7777]

I’ve never even heard of this game much less this mod. Neat video tho.

[@zekeholley3119]

You never talked about vanilla minus

[@Generic648]

Are you possibly planning on making a video on the LETMS armored vehicle system?

[@nolberggg]

I'm certainly not against it, I'm a big fan of LETMS tanks. I mainly covered vanilla+ since it was requested somewhat consistently on my videos

[@DeltaRacing-vg2lv]

Only 18 views in 10 minutes, bro fell off… Jokes aside, really like your content. You provide a really educational yet entertaining side towards Ravenfield and its community.

[@nolberggg]

Only 18?? Privating asap

[@JasonPegasus]

nice video, didn't literally know anything of this stuff and how cool did it look. i wonder how much content of the opposite side is there, like lithuanian dude's maps and lemfao's weapons (im not trying to make hd ravenfield community grow at all lol 🤫) im also curious about if vanilla minus is actually the opposite in style

The gameplay: *Gets shot through a wall/get one tapped by a "beginner level" bot* The lore: An analog pendulum clock made around 18th century A clock or chronometer is a device that measures and displays time. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units such as the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used over the millennia. Some predecessors to the modern clock may be considered "clocks" that are based on movement in nature: A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a flat surface. There is a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. Water clocks, along with sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. A major advance occurred with the invention of the verge escapement, which made possible the first mechanical clocks around 1300 in Europe, which kept time with oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels.[1][2][3][4] Traditionally, in horology (the study of timekeeping), the term clock was used for a striking clock, while a clock that did not strike the hours audibly was called a timepiece. This distinction is not generally made any longer. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are usually not referred to as clocks.[5] Spring-driven clocks appeared during the 15th century. During the 15th and 16th centuries, clockmaking flourished. The next development in accuracy occurred after 1656 with the invention of the pendulum clock by Christiaan Huygens. A major stimulus to improving the accuracy and reliability of clocks was the importance of precise time-keeping for navigation. The mechanism of a timepiece with a series of gears driven by a spring or weights is referred to as clockwork; the term is used by extension for a similar mechanism not used in a timepiece. The electric clock was patented in 1840, and electronic clocks were introduced in the 20th century, becoming widespread with the development of small battery-powered semiconductor devices. The timekeeping element in every modern clock is a harmonic oscillator, a physical object (resonator) that vibrates or oscillates at a particular frequency.[2] This object can be a pendulum, a balance wheel, a tuning fork, a quartz crystal, or the vibration of electrons in atoms as they emit microwaves, the last of which is so precise that it serves as the definition of the second. Casio F-91W digital watch, a historically popular watch introduced in 1989 Clocks have different ways of displaying the time. Analog clocks indicate time with a traditional clock face and moving hands. Digital clocks display a numeric representation of time. Two numbering systems are in use: 12-hour time notation and 24-hour notation. Most digital clocks use electronic mechanisms and LCD, LED, or VFD displays. For the blind and for use over telephones, speaking clocks state the time audibly in words. There are also clocks for the blind that have displays that can be read by touch. Etymology The word clock derives from the medieval Latin word for 'bell'-clocca-and has cognates in many European languages. Clocks spread to England from the Low Countries,[6] so the English word came from the Middle Low German and Middle Dutch Klocke.[7] The word is also derived from the Middle English clokke, Old North French cloque, or Middle Dutch clocke, all of which mean 'bell'. History of time-measuring devices Main article: History of timekeeping devices Sundials Main article: Sundial Simple horizontal sundial The apparent position of the Sun in the sky changes over the course of each day, reflecting the rotation of the Earth. Shadows cast by stationary objects move correspondingly, so their positions can be used to indicate the time of day. A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a (usually) flat surface that has markings that correspond to the hours.[8] Sundials can be horizontal, vertical, or in other orientations. Sundials were widely used in ancient times.[9] With knowledge of latitude, a well-constructed sundial can measure local solar time with reasonable accuracy, within a minute or two. Sundials continued to be used to monitor the performance of clocks until the 1830s, when the use of the telegraph and trains standardized time and time zones between cities.[10] Devices that measure duration, elapsed time and intervals The flow of sand in an hourglass can be used to keep track of elapsed time. Many devices can be used to mark the passage of time without respect to reference time (time of day, hours, minutes, etc.) and can be useful for measuring duration or intervals. Examples of such duration timers are candle clocks, incense clocks, and the hourglass. Both the candle clock and the incense clock work on the same principle, wherein the consumption of resources is more or less constant, allowing reasonably precise and repeatable estimates of time passages. In the hourglass, fine sand pouring through a tiny hole at a constant rate indicates an arbitrary, predetermined passage of time. The resource is not consumed, but re-used. Water clocks Main article: Water clock A water clock for goldbeating goldleaf in Mandalay (Myanmar) Water clocks, along with sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments, with the only exception being the day-counting tally stick.[11] Given their great antiquity, where and when they first existed is not known and is perhaps unknowable. The bowl-shaped outflow is the simplest form of a water clock and is known to have existed in Babylon and Egypt around the 16th century BC. Other regions of the world, including India and China, also have early evidence of water clocks, but the earliest dates are less certain. Some authors, however, write about water clocks appearing as early as 4000 BC in these regions of the world.[12] The Macedonian astronomer Andronicus of Cyrrhus supervised the construction of the Tower of the Winds in Athens in the 1st century BC, which housed a large clepsydra inside as well as multiple prominent sundials outside, allowing it to function as a kind of early clocktower.[13] The Greek and Roman civilizations advanced water clock design with improved accuracy. These advances were passed on through Byzantine and Islamic times, eventually making their way back to Europe. Independently, the Chinese developed their own advanced water clocks (水鐘) by 725 AD, passing their ideas on to Korea and Japan.[14] Some water clock designs were developed independently, and some knowledge was transferred through the spread of trade. Pre-modern societies do not have the same precise timekeeping requirements that exist in modern industrial societies, where every hour of work or rest is monitored and work may start or finish at any time regardless of external conditions. Instead, water clocks in ancient societies were used mainly for astrological reasons. These early water clocks were calibrated with a sundial. While never reaching the level of accuracy of a modern timepiece, the water clock was the most accurate and commonly used timekeeping device for millennia until it was replaced by the more accurate pendulum clock in 17th-century Europe. Islamic civilization is credited with further advancing the accuracy of clocks through elaborate engineering. In 797 (or possibly 801), the Abbasid caliph of Baghdad, Harun al-Rashid, presented Charlemagne with an Asian elephant named Abul-Abbas together with a "particularly elaborate example" of a water[15] clock. Pope Sylvester II introduced clocks to northern and western Europe around 1000 AD.[16]

[@senortailer5102]

Heck yeah.

[@SpruceGaming777]

Damn this a good video for under 1k views

[@rjspeeder]

he is back!!

[@nolberggg]

yessir!

[@TheCobra114-o5e]

9:14 was that Cordon?

[@nolberggg]

yes! great eye. specifically its this mod: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2926696856

[@wenksywenks]

Hey dude! Quick question; can I get a hold of your Reshade presets? Because I'm pretty sure you have used Reshade in your previous videos, and I was interested if I can get your preset by any chance, since it does look awesome!

[@d3ceasedwashere]

why is this even on my fyp i cant afford ravenfield

[@Viperu_Zeiro]

You should do a monthly or weekly weapon mod review lol

[@sop1918]

Smth I’d like to see is more maps, Not mission maps but genreal maps to fit the story. For example We have uprisings and revolts and stuff yet I don’t believe there’s an actual map for these more maps like operation bastille basically

[@ImSomethingSpecial]

The Union being lib right on political compass is hilarious and incredibly based.

[@nolberggg]

lmao I didn't notice the colors looked exactly like that. I shoulda made the magpies green for libleft

[@KronovMpg]

I wonder what will sofa do anything with the custom gamemodes update

[@blaze6254]

MORE RAVENFIELD CONTeNTT!!!

[@Das_P-vq7kz]

how does your ravenfield look soooo good?

[@nolberggg]

A few of the background scenes in this video contain Reshade, which is a post processing program for games. There are presets by UncappedRaven that can make the game look pretty cinematic!

[@solorhypercane5041]

I actually think the bulldog is based off the tavor and the m4a1

[@mikeehrmantraut2607]

What the heck is Ravenfield? Never heard of it

[@WuRay-g6l]

What the heck is Half-Life? Never heard of it

[@gamingbanana7618]

What the heck?

[@matthewjones39]

Basically single player battlefield with 10 morbillion mods

[@John_Seaf]

Low poly gmod except it's actually war ❗ ❗ ❗

[@dokkimane4636]

At 11:29 you said ICP instead of IPC

[@blaze77gun]

Cool!

[@8deh]

Is it worth to buy it?

[@EinFisch]

noice

[@TheBiggestRat674]

I prefer vanilla+ over eveything else because both teams are balanced in game. Often when I download individual vehicles or weapons, the teams become unbalanced

[@nolberggg]

I agree! It's pretty important because taking the time to balance completely different mods together can be extremely tedious. Sometimes its nice to use easy "plug and play" mods

[@swwertyk]

gid gud

[@mombaeh]

Video game 🎮
