thank you for feedback, zebra :beer: - I was wondering why i got the message 'lev has been modified' when i watched internal replays. It must be because i use internal level exports. They must be considered as "edited level". That is, level and replay files include a version number. If th...

Whoa, really an amazing piece of software! I run some banana cup replays on it: http://up.k10x.net/hjbnkbtykurfm/hardbanana.PNG You can see boneless in the lead and kopaka coming behind, the others struggling far behind (as it was in the cup too). Was nice feature to turn the picture upside down whe...

zebra

I would love to here now what was good and what was bad in this cup. Which was the best event?
We'll listen to your suggestions now and if there's gonna be another banana cup some day, we'll do the exact opposite.

zebra

BananaCup 4 was won by BoneLESS [HHIT], congratulations! Details here.

zebra

Amazing video and quality. I didn't know youtube can handle hd quality videos. Thanks

zebra

I'm just reminding you that the deadline of the last event is tonight.

zebra

When is the weekly deadline?
What about pipe levels (author not finished the level)?
What about levels where only pressing gas will give you the best possible time?

zebra

Once you know the right styles the level is actually pretty easy to finish. It needs a lot of practise though.

zebra

Last event going! Now it's the last chance to start playing because there are big prizes from this last event.

zebra

It's a big solid 0.

zebra

Is it that the resolution changes or only the number in the elma config program?
Because the 2nd number always changes to the smallest possible and it's only a bug of the config program.

zebra

Nice levels, igge. They remind me of my old levels

zebra

Interesting project. Does this mean the release of elma online is near?

I might make one or two levels too.

We (Team TAP) have now our own forum where we can discuss about our cups and other stuff. You can join the discussion if you wish (you may have to register to the forum). We have also our own private part there which only TAP members can access. In the future we may host our cups or levelpacks using...

It's funny how this topic gets bumped up every now and then but each time nothing happens. As it will be this time too, i'm afraid. I have been on #elma.fi lately and when somebody says 'i tried some elma today' all the others say like 'oh lol that old game i haven't opened it in a few months'. So I...

zebra

So you were trying a bounce but got this grip thing instead?

I wouldn't call this a bounce but yes it's very cool move

I spared this level for banana cup. Some people were asking (joking) if i could make this kind of remix of the level last year.

i think you gonna have less players on this event xD
does a non fnished replay count?

Yes, it will be counted. Just read the rules. The rules are like in ordinary first finish battle in belma.

Someone asked for an image of the level so here it is:

It started 5 minutes ago! Finish as quick as you can (if you can finish it, it's max hard) and send rec. Your time will be counted from the time when the mail arrives to our mail box.

zebra

that maxdaman's site is one of the places i searched when i made the elma level archive. Nice amount of levels there. Log files are good too

zebra

So a little update; I was away from musicology for almost 2 months, so had to make up for it during past few weeks. I can tell you this: very hard, especially music theory. We're doing basso continuo exercises, you need to harmonise according to special rules like no parallel fifths or octaves, no ...

zebra

The program is very cool. But some things: What's that replay viewer? Nothing is moving there, at least for me. It's nice though :) but if it doesn't move, it should be Level viewer, not rec viewer. "Compare replays" button gives only Unhandled Exception. How it should work? "3 decima...

zebra

Now there is a little bit more normal event going. Maybe some hÃ¶ylÃ¤ will strike back now? Astral seems to be bit too far now but everything is possible... There is a first finish event coming too right after easter.

zebra

What is strange? Not all of us are equally fast.

zebra

Mawane [TR] was the 17. who solved the riddle, congratulations

zebra

One question: Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding, i can do a trick more than once and get points for every occurence of the trick right? (meaning if i do 6 brutal volts, i should get 6 * 3 points) yep, but you have to do all those brutals in different place. I mean that you can only one b...

zebra

Half a year left.

zebra

omg. veeery very hard. And annoying.

Do you want me to make a 10-minute version of that trick into playing levels?

zebra

so, is it possible to make a 150 pts replay voluntarily? if so, i wanna see :) Well, unless you can compute in your head the encryption of a replay file as you drive in a level, no you can't drive that replay voluntarily. (zebra, tell me if i'm wrong, which i don't believe i am) Well, staying in on...

zebra

as i said, the formula is a bit random in a sense that it just reads some bytes from rec file. But of course it gives the same amount of points to a given rec in each time the program is run, so there isn't that kind of randomness :) what the program does is that it reads 30 bytes, takes the first 4...

zebra

oh, seems to be a clone of our TAP Elimination Cup.
Anyway, it's ok. Good luck for your cup

I'm not sure will I participate but I'll think about it.

could be nice to have some notification here before actual deadline. :? eh, what kind of notification? Do you want to give us your phone number so we can call you when deadline is near? I think that you should be able to remember the deadline yourself. You are a good player and designer and everyth...

Xiphias wrote:I found some functions that give extra points
I do wonder what formula you used.

I'm interested

The formula is a bit random

zebra

yep there is a 'feature' in the program that it seems to give points also for some replays which are not finished.
Of course you can't participate with these kind of replays because rules say you have to finish between 10 and 20 seconds.

zebra

Just relax. Finish the lev, save the rec and see if the program likes it

zebra

omg some of you are very good in this.
Stupid for KD to say(lie?) his time so quickly here.
D3Dwindower or that kind of slowing down would be considered as cheating.
I still think 0.01 accuracy is enough and your time will be the one which elmatim0r shows.

zebra

ok ok. If there are no netsplits, at least your own net can disconnect you from the server.

And there can always be for example virus scanner or windows update ruining your life.

I don't like the idea of pre-publishing the events. I think that's the thing which could ruin the idea of FF cup.

zebra

I will make a level too. I think any weekday is pretty ok if you change it from time to time and tell the actual day at least week before the cup. And I think 5 levs out of 10 is ok so you don't have to attend every battle (there can always be netsplits and for example phone calls disturbing your ru...

zebra

zebra, commenting on the complexity of the issue (opinion in formation): I like the idea of perfect player and would like to see the recs of course but then again if it ruins the WRs and help ppl cheat it's very bad thing. I also do not like that you are pasting here our private conversation. Anywa...

zebra

Such an interesting cup, too bad there are so few players. I mean, for once there comes a well organized cup, with sick levels, original events and nobody plays it. Kinda sad if you ask me. Good job zebra, what would we do without you!? Thank you for asking. Maybe you would be actually enjoying you...

zebra

too bad that the nitro event is cancelled =( and why 1 week time although best time doesnt' matter? :P About a nitro event... we were afraid with Ramone that it will end up with fighting with the bugs (if bike streches too much). At least we should restrict the values of elasticity and speed someho...

yeah, everyone was getting the error 404 with the level BC404, so we cancelled the event.

Now there is the event 5 going and it's a dream event for people who don't want to hÃ¶yl the levels 24/7

Yes i could. I can add them tonight.

lol now we have to change all the rest banana cup events because you already used this 'idea'.

zebra

pab you don't have to post your photos here.

zebra

Another thing to take in consideration is that the graphic card configuration has an impact on certain physical properties of the game (such as grip, bounces, etc.). I don't know if your agent can take that in consideration, haven't read the article yet. Only fps matters. If you are thinking of vsy...

zebra

You should ask the code from milagros. He has made quite many additions to the game and probably already knows the source code by heart. But I think he has to code it in assembly because balazs hasn't given the original source code. So milagros reimplemented elma in assembly?!? That sounds hard. Ho...
