THE best patch for elma just got better

All the usual stuff is included.. alovolt, vcr-style rec watching, brake and esc alias .. ect

NOW EVEN MORE INCLUDED
Hibernatus added :

Fast menu-navigation ( by pressing left CTRL + "letter" you jump to the "letter" )

Lev-pack .. now you can load a pack for itself ..

get the patch here http://acrossdk.mine.nu/acrossdk/

NOTE: The patch is unofficial and not accepted by BalÃ¡zs or Moposite. It contains bugs such as corrupting replays etc. so don't use it in your internal hoyling elma or WC. -Abula

is it really necessary to have to fast forwards? i rather have one slow motion and one slow slow motion

Karlis · Post by **Karlis** » 7 Oct 2002, 20:18

and I can supermegafastforward cos it's still too slow

no, let's not whine.

dz · Post by dz » 7 Oct 2002, 21:08

rewind has to be changed faster, it's very annoying to rewind with normal speed. :)

and there could be 2 slow motions, one as it is now, and other, for example"ultra slow motion". when these are made, i am very happy with the patch. (like i wouldn't already :)

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 7 Oct 2002, 21:11

how about calculating the internal avereges too?

MP · Post by MP » 7 Oct 2002, 21:29

No need for ultraslow motion. I think all the rec things are fine now.

onlainari · Post by **onlainari** » 7 Oct 2002, 21:42

HATS OFF TO YOU MAN!! VERY GOOD JOB. THIS IS BIG! But then again,couple changes/addons still for good: 1.ultra slow motion sounds khew.

2. random levels that are not in any pack are hard to find. Maybe hib the levels that are in packs shouldn't appear at "external files" at all.. or maybe a levpack that could have rest of the files that aren't in any packs. It is just quite hard to figure the pattern for that because the levs are named this and that.

kuiva · Post by **kuiva** » 7 Oct 2002, 22:16

i found one little error in lev packs. it doesn't include alp35_m.lev to alp levels.

that can be fixed by editing Alternate Level Pack in elmaconf. just change the pattern from alp??_?? for example to alp*

HIBERNATUS

i saw the elmaconfig now (had to reconfig alovolt apparently;)

it rules, and i saw that you enlarged elma.exe too. great job

devin · Post by **devin** » 8 Oct 2002, 01:51

Great Job Hib.

Ok it says for me to ask Karlis why the brake alias is included.

Well Karlis, why and how does it help?

onlainari · Post by **onlainari** » 8 Oct 2002, 03:21

ok ,I know you didn't ask it from me because it's officially also a rule to ask it from karlis,but for me it helps alot...it saves my finger getting crushed if some levels need up and down arrow both alot. So having it also elsewhere is for good. You quickly learn to use it in some certain level to save your finger. And then..after that part if you success and you are heading end of the level, it is good to have the old down button to ensure that you don't screw your run because of brake button in some weird place ... ok that's very messy,if u get my msg ,nice.

Karlis · Post by **Karlis** » 8 Oct 2002, 04:08

thnx onla, you said it better that I ever

freefall start is kinda hard without it, got 12:54 yesterday btw

Rasu · Post by **Rasu** » 8 Oct 2002, 05:41

Hibernatus I love you!! Will you marry me?

Seriously, this patch is great. Now I can't think of any more features that I would want included. Great job, hibernatus!

Post by **Abula** » 8 Oct 2002, 09:43

Hib said last night the patch has some bugs and MAYBE can corrupt the files so be careful. Take back-ups at least. He will fix it hopefully.

One suggestion: when printing stats of level packs there should be some "\n"s in the output because now for example the first line of stats is on one line -> ugly. Same with last lines.

GuyB · Post by **GuyB** » 8 Oct 2002, 10:06

As abula said, apparently there are some flaws in the program, so the link has been disabled on my page.. Hibernatus is debugging it today, and It will be back online as soon as possible ..

Again, im truly sorry for the inconvenience

Ehh, this WAS added.... Press on the fast forward button in the same time as you rewind, it's all explained in the readme...

Post by **SveinR** » 8 Oct 2002, 15:20

...and another thing; I don't think the levpack option is that important (I haven't set myself too much into it yet, but I presume the levs has to be in a folder called Lev?) I have my levs in different folders, named f.ex. "cup levs" (of course then I have to rename them to "lev" when I want to play them)

But, someone else may find that function useful, so I won't nag about it. And the patch rules like sliced brown-cheese anyway, so I only want to applaud Hibernatus

It brings me great joy to say that the patch now is back online

You can find a link for it either in the news, on the first page you see when you enter the site or by clicking on the "downloads" in the navigation bar to the left ..

have fun

Great Job Hib!

In the readme, it says," This was made for braking, because braking with two different keys might be useful for sick hoylas (ask Karlis why)."

so Karlis, why? (or anyone who might know the answer to this question.)

to make freefall start easier... and it works, as Karlis made 12.34 yesterday (at least he said he made)

Karlis · Post by **Karlis** » 10 Oct 2002, 15:26

devin, you have asked now twice that same question and you have got 3 answers, don't ask again ok plz

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 10 Oct 2002, 19:06

Two brakes can bve good.. maybe I shoul dget the patch... sometimes I brake with my tumb (if longfinger is busy gasing) this means I brake with the nail downwards...
So in soime levels... hmmm.. maybe IÂ´ll get it...

devin · Post by **devin** » 10 Oct 2002, 20:35

Great Job Hib!

must been smokin crack or something

HOw embarrasing

forgive me

Karlis · Post by **Karlis** » 10 Oct 2002, 21:41

it's ok

btw. got secret FM tim0r on FF

Chris Penrose · Post by **Chris Penrose** » 12 Oct 2002, 13:40

Slow motion should be good for watching replays made on levels made with that matrix lgr. (i think it's called trinity.lgr?)

kuiva · Post by **kuiva** » 12 Oct 2002, 14:39

to that 2 brake buttons thing...

hih, my middle finger bends a little to the wrong direction so i can use gas and brake easily with same finger=)

dz · Post by dz » 12 Oct 2002, 21:36

"If you don't want the alphanumeric keys to be always enabled, use elmaconf.exe to make "Left Control" required. In that case "Left Control + A" will work, but not "A" alone."

i dont really find any reason why it shouldn't be always-enabled..

dz · Post by dz » 12 Oct 2002, 22:40

Bug ?

I unlocked wcup405e.lev and renamed it wc5.lev, then i drove replays for wc5.lev and when i try to merge them, i get "internal error" and elma crashes.

dz · Post by dz » 12 Oct 2002, 23:09

hmm, ive noticed MANY "internal errors" with merging so far. now i just made up run with original wcup lev and tried to merge it with my best time rec -> internal error. not nice :\

Karlis · Post by **Karlis** » 13 Oct 2002, 00:05

mr_fm had problems with merging too...........fixing needed

dz · Post by dz » 13 Oct 2002, 00:30

WARNING:

if you drive a replay with this new patch, there is high change the rec will get merge-corrupted, which means you cannot merge it even with old nitro patch.. so be careful with these patches.. backups recommended

Post by **SveinR** » 13 Oct 2002, 09:56

damn, now I also experienced that...I just hope that's the only problem that happens with the replays.

Laser · Post by **Laser** » 13 Oct 2002, 10:03

I get a lot of those "internal errors" too. When I tried to merge FatherGods wcup rec with mine, the game crashed. But when I merged first my rec and then FatherGods rec, it worked.

GodFather · Post by **GodFather** » 13 Oct 2002, 10:08

Merging is a real prblem. I made two exact same times on steep corner and took replays of them both... then i tried merging them and the Elma crashed

Mick · Post by **Mick** » 13 Oct 2002, 10:10

i got a problem. when i quit the game, it rebotted my computer and fucked my state.dat. this made me angry cos i had to use a backup which i made(luckily that day) but if not

grrr!!

its happened twice. those merge bugs have also happened to me.

MP · Post by MP » 13 Oct 2002, 10:24

I have also merge problems, seems like it works only other way around...

dz · Post by dz » 14 Oct 2002, 20:13

how about VERSION NUMBERS ? so dehm difficult to know which one is the one....

Post by **SveinR** » 15 Oct 2002, 13:44

What about the date it was made?

dz · Post by dz » 15 Oct 2002, 13:51

i heard abula said there is new corrupt-rec-bug, when play multi and watch rec, internal error.... oh well ill test myself

dz wrote:i heard abula said there is new corrupt-rec-bug, when play multi and watch rec, internal error.... oh well ill test myself

Ye it's true, I tested myself after Hib sent me a mail. He wasn't sure if they don't work or not but as I told they don't :|. Because Hib isn't available to repair it right now we just have to wait or maybe MGen can make something, I don't know. GuyB will inform here and in his news later today.

GuyB · Post by **GuyB** » 15 Oct 2002, 22:36

There are two major problems that I will concentrate on here

1. Apparently the patch isnÂ´t completely flawless yet. A bug which causes the game to cause corrupt-rec-bug. When playing multiplayer and then watching rec, internal error. Also the merge-function was causing some crashes.

As abula said, Hibernatus is unable to work on it atm so carc has fixed the bug, tx to hib

2. Some people are beginning to get confused, due to the fact that previous versions of the patch are floating around the community. Some of these versions include different bugs and can cause problems..
In my regular installation I use this version. http://213.237.35.1/acrossdk/stuff/Elma1.11h9sep.zip
So far I havenÂ´t found any flaws in it.. So my advice is this .. If you already have a patch, and it is worked as you want it, then donÂ´t do anything.. If you want the added functionalities from the newest versions then wait a few days and get the version published on www.acrossdk.tk when it is done.. If, for some reason you need the patch, and donÂ´t want to wait a few days, try this version ... BUT BE ADVICED.. its a beta, and eventhough I didnÂ´t find anything wrong in it, it doesnÂ´t mean that anything canÂ´t be wrong

Post by **Abula** » 15 Oct 2002, 23:46

If you decide to test that beta version remember to tell about all bugs and errors you find.

dz · Post by dz » 17 Oct 2002, 20:01

i just downloaded that beta version to olp elma, merged 2 first recs i saw -> internal error.

so dont use it..

GuyB · Post by **GuyB** » 17 Oct 2002, 22:30

Instructed by Hibernatus, Mgen have now gone through the code and corrected the faults in it. This means that the merge-replay=crash bug has been removed.. In other words, the patch now behaves as you want it to..
Other small bugs has also been corrected, so it should now be bug-free
It contains all the good stuff from the older versions, but has now everything concentrated in this one version..

It is still a beta, so if you find anything wrong in it write me or hibernatus about it.

Seems like no bugs are found by anyone? Hopefully people are testing it.
