You are right. If I had known the difference between black and brown switches back then when I bought Steelseries 7G, I wouldn't have bought it.

I found a good site explaining the different mechanical keyboard types: http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mecha ... oard-guide

zebra

For elma playing you don't need any expensive keyboard with lots of media keys. Look for keyboards where you can press at least 4 simultaneous buttons (N-key rollover as Orcc said) and have a good key touch. Well, it's not very easy to find such a keyboard. Some years ago I was looking for good keyb...

Cup mode still has couple of problems. When I tested the cup mode last February, I found the following problems: http://mopolauta.moposite.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7175
As far as I know, most of those problems still exist. So I would go for battle mode.

zebra

Do you expect me to do the resurrection? :) It could be possible though. There are two possibilities: - in EOL - in IRC with some battlebot But there are some problems in arranging it in IRC like old good times: we don't have any battlebot anymore and it would be impossible to detect saveload. That ...

zebra

Here are my suggestions. I have not been too active recently but I have still followed the scene and mopolauta a bit so that I can make some suggestions: - Internalist: Kazan: I thought it would be impossible to beat Zweq but Kazan proved me wrong - Externalist: adi: won Mastercup 3 overwhelmingly -...

Battletime defining is one part of the level making process. By defining a shorter battletime the designer can make a "cruise" battle, by defining a longer battletime the designer can make a "höylä" battle. And the battlers should take the battletime into account so that if the b...

Kiiwi sent some records and I updated the uni level pack page for the one last time. I don't see any point keeping that table up anymore because the saveload patch is out there and it's undetectable. You can continue playing the levels in EOL. The same thing goes for pipo level pack. http://koti.mbn...

Good luck. Remember to shave often.

Thanks Jappe2 for bringing this contest back alive

Congratulations milagros and Ville J who solved the riddle yesterday!
And also to jonharkulsykkel who solved the riddle today!

Thanks for making the video, Jappe2

Nothing spectacular, but not bad either. Top 10 progression was a nice extra.
Yep, the event 11 top 10 is wrong as NightMar said. Also umiz is missing from the list in the end. Lolz that 90's music

Confession: In Banana Cup 4 event 19 I used timescale cheat to be able to drive with half speed, which allowed me to turn the bike more rapidly. It didn't help me that much though. (And no, I haven't used it anywhere else) Oh no :( Now I have to give you a penalty point and calculate all the result...

zebra

The good thing here is that we have already played 10/12 of the events. The positions are quite much settled, so this saveload thing doesn't affect much to the results. Like I wrote in news , saveload is not allowed in this cup. If it's detectable, we will remove the cheated times afterwards. But if...

I send wrong replay. It's Eddi's time. My time 1:25,55. Please check and fix it. Thanks for the explanation so I don't have to disqualify you. I got your replay in e-mail, so problem solved :) And yes, would be nice to have more interviews. Not all wrote their interviews in previous mastercups eith...

zebra

The results will be pasted on #mastercup3 (in irc) right after the deadline!

zebra

Remember deadline today! (in 3 hours)

zebra

It's starting tomorrow!

zebra

Yes. Generally it will be one week per event. It might sound boring but after all it's the best way. There might be some more time for longest events but we'll see.

zebra

Zero joined TAP, and I updated our team page after many many years

http://www.moposite.com/team/TAP

zebra

There will be no pipe events.
You can still skip 2 events (like it was in mastercup 2). We will give short descriptions of each level before the start of the cup so that you can decide which ones to skip.

zebra

Seems that the Kopaka's Cup source thing gets most votes, so we will probably use it. Kopaka has a new version of the cup source coming next week, so will wait for it. I think I can promise that mastercup 3 will start shortly after that. Maybe in the end of March or at the beginning of April.

zebra

The question is, would you play Mastercup 3 if it was started now (in few weeks) without EOL functionality? With the old e-mail system and old web page (like Mastercup 2)? Or should we wait for EOL to come ready? The problem is that we have been waiting now for long enough and it seems that EOL cup ...

zebra

The whole cup was cancelled now when Kopaka thought that it's the reason for all recent server crashes. However, some hours after cancelling the cup the server crashed again so I'm not so sure about that. Anyway, the cup is cancelled for now. We already found quite a bunch of errors and bugs. I coul...

zebra

Hmm I thought they meant event 1 recs... at least I don't have them. Was event 2 already played? I thought it was cancelled when server was rebooted? It was but it got started again and is on right now :) I started it again. I thought it was never played :D Can anyone show me event 1 winning rec?

Hi, I collect here (in the first post) the bugs we have found from EOL (program or site). These bugs have to be fixed before we can start a real cup. I make this to make it easier for mila/kopaka to fix these and to keep myself up-to-date as well. I will edit this if and when the problems are fixed....

zebra

First event is over and the results can be seen there: http://beta.elmaonline.net/?s=stats&p=cup&c=8&e=7 and there: http://beta.elmaonline.net/?s=stats&p=level&l=69757 . Unfortunately they seem to be quite different. Lots of kuskis are missing from the cup results. Maybe Kopaka k...

zebra

Ok, I got the point, and I agree that visible times are not good for cups. But at the moment we don't have any possibility to start EOL cup with hidden times (because of that bug), so we have to wait for mila to fix it. There are other bugs too (it doesn't save replays), but otherwise it seems to wo...

zebra

If we want hidden times, then mila has to fix this bug:
You can see the best times by pressing shift+f5 and then re-entering the level.
Because if that bug exists, there is no sense trying to hide the times at all.

Also notice that even if times were visible, you can still hide yourself from others.

zebra

EOL cup mode gives us a new opportunity to show people's times during cup events. So far that kind of real time information hasn't been possible. But people are used to the old system where you only see the results after the events. And somehow it makes sense too, because a quicker style would be qu...

zebra

Seems that rec saving doesn't work. EOL should save your best time like it does in battle, but it doesn't. So I guess at least that has to be fixed. For now, you should save your recs yourself. But otherwise EOL seems to work ok. And I noticed that I put the deadlines with wrong timezone so they are...

There should be an event going already. Level name is ZTC101.lev.

I'm starting to test EOL cup functionality now and started a test cup: http://beta.elmaonline.net/?s=stats&p=cup&c=8 Don't take it so seriously, because I'm going to use my old battle levels. Just go and drive a time if you feel so. If this thing works, maybe we will start mastercup 3 in a m...

Great video! Jappe2 is the man when it comes to video editing... And good narrator voice too.

I wasn't actually making anything for this particular video. I only collected information for the contest part. Looking forward to it

Sounds great

I will at least donate some.

zebra

I'll inform as soon as I know the exact date. Probably it will be in september if everything goes well and Kopaka says EOL is ready for it.

zebra

Yes, we will still wait for the final version. My original plan was to start this in september. Let's see if we can make it. I probably have to make some site too, but it would just contain some rules and interviews and such. All results would be in EOL.

zebra

With the default theme there is still the "closed beta" text, which might be true of course, but with other themes it's not visible. You should maybe change the default theme already. Didn't we have a voting of it?

Yes, maybe a dedicated server would be a good option, or a virtual one. One of the cheapest ones which I found was BreezeHost (United Kingdom), but the service may be very poor. Other possibilities are: ultrahosting (USA) ahosting (United Kingdom) Fleener Web Hosting (USA) InMotionHosting (USA) Host...

What's the problem with the server? Isn't moposite enough?

Again both adi and Kazan sending times. Kazan took the lead now and broke the 22 minute limit!

In his e-mail he told that he is in team EF.

After half a year of höyling, adi [EF] takes his lead back, congratulations

I feel the same way as nick-o-matic. I stopped playing because the levels were irritating and not very cup-style.
