ges wil get bak 2 it som tiome later
i put curent version now cuz maby thers 1 usefull feture (idea by LOKUS) u can use if editor level can put arg to levell (okeol.exe <path 2 lev>) and it open lev in "test mode" wher online and menu disable and u can test lev then pres esc twice 2 quit
editor maker ppl cud ad buton "p" to lunch curent open lev like this
so can easy test level sle new ale yale
u can also rigt clik .level open with etc so can doble clik any .level file

Re: oke eol testing
Unreal cool okeol already, go test everybody.
then again i don't know anything
maybe easier not to think abouut alöl things thought than not things thought ... or something..=?

Re: oke eol testing
okeol is already very playable and it will be amazing when completed!
obv GAA'20 contrib
Played battles and started a short FF, everything worked without problem.
Very easy to install
UI is perfect, good font, good transparency, it shouldn't be more fancy than this
Good ideas in F8 menu, auto replay saving is great
Merge is easy and useful (and it will be awesome when can merge more than 2 recs)
Ingame zoom mega useful
osv
although i like this UI, it's a bit hard to overview
for example i press F7 and there's finished times, and if press F8 there's also finished times but with replays
same with F5 and F6, it's all there in F8
wonder if this could be simplified somehow
however, every possible setting should appear somewhere in the main menu
because ppl will keep asking where this and where that
hotkeys also should appear in menu for the same reason (Chat F9
)
very important question for videomaking: will be option for saving replay frames? (afraid to say option for saving replay in mp4 :/)

Re: oke eol testing
love the interface!
i havent really toyed with the fixed physics aspects themselves but they should work as intended
cool ghost bike, key shortcuts, replay viewing and sach
only problem encountered so far is the sensitive menu as was said before, imo make it so that input held before exiting lev/dying doesnt register in menus. but prob that was ur idea already idk

Re: oke eol testing
tried for 3 mins and it was enough: This is the future of elma! thanks jon!
For me the most important thing: Will there be an internal editor? I still use internal editor to make 99.5% of my levs. While I understand the epicness of SLE I just can't be bothered using it because of the annoying build lev>save>go elma> test lev> exit elma>change>oops now there are two versions of the lev and everythign is fukked>quit and go internal editor.
Maybe, just maybe there is a chance that SLE will be implemented into this? I can understand that you won't bother making an internal editor for the three hillbillies still using it.

ezik solution since jon god coder would be to just make okeol be able to notice file changes so can just keep it open and sle->save->play and np

the plan is to brain a much mor intuitive sistem, get rid of f keys in defaults etc
evryhing shud be poss from main menu as u say
the key binds sistem is also shitik, theres ment to be a interface for seting keys but its stil 2 cumplicated so mgiht end up nuking it
ezik, duno vat format is good for frame's? can do RLE compresed tga, it would probably be somthing like 230MiB/sec @ 3840x2160 24bit 60fps
doing any vidio encoding is 2 anoying and it would ad a bunch of dependencies making it more anoying to bild binarys for al platforms cud however be a option to make simpal gomand line program that cumverts .rek to h265 .mp4 or somthign
fixed bigest proplems with that stuf but its stil a isue if any one uses arow keys cuz defult keys for switching tabs in ui are set to left/right. might be a idea to unbind/change those if use arow key's
swtichign tabs also bound to tab/shift+tab by default

it wil probably not be SLE quality but u can make coupel of balles
also about "oops now there are two versions of the lev and everythign is fukked" part:
that is vat ofline folder is for as ics mentioned
the idea is u put unballed levs there vhile makeing them, then start balles direclty from that folder
vhen ur batle starts, pres f4 and it moves lev from ofline to externals

Re: oke eol testing

i have decided its not quite redy for testink
im will turn of server tomorow so last changce to try it for now
this has been PREVIEW of a few of the kind of things are posible with new elma at least (but not al by any means, i have plan's)
testing period has made it very clear vat i need to do
mainly simplify things and hav interface for basik cumfiguration whcih i knew alredy but now i mega know it
some of the glient side gode sucks making it too tedius to ad new stuf so i vana revrite some of that
i also vana investigate sum stuff regardign physics
might take sum time and im cant get distracted by smal details, need to get foundation right before start piling shit on top of it

Re: oke eol testing
Suggestion: Make a configurable delay before starting the gameplay. I mean the same kind of delay as there is currently on first finish battles. With (for example) a 3-sec delay it would be easy to press the keys (for example right arrow and up arrow) and concentrate a bit before gameplay starts. If the delay was configurable, it could be configured to 0 seconds for those players that do not like it.
I think arrow keys should be default for both gameplay and for menus, and I would like to have them like that even if they could be configured to other keys.

Re: oke eol testing
Quickly tested and it looks and feels very nice. Runs very smooth on my Windows 10 laptop while in full screen mode. Lags a bit while windowed.
Two comments:
- Some kind of help command(s) would be useful. Hard to remember all those possible commands.
- Esc key is a bit different than regular Elma. I'm used to esc leading back to the main menu (and eventually quitted the game). Here it seems to stop current run on first click (main menu), and then on second click it highlights the last level played (intended?)

Re: oke eol testing
This sounds good I think. So you enter some lev and go into "lev menu" where hev to esc to go back to norm menu yes? And then keys can be held like usual elma lev menu.
Re: oke eol testing
Ghost bike for battles and hoyling internals will be revolutionary besides the menu and all functions. This version finished will be amazing.
Re: oke eol testing
I think we should get rid of the "enter press". With some keyboards it's impossible to press enter and gas and alo and turn at the same time. One possibility would be the delay I mentioned and other possibility would be "auto restart level" if you die.
The "small menu" idea is ok too but I think there should be only one menu, not many.

Re: oke eol testing
Ghost bike mentioned
Interesting feature, but i couldn't figure out how to use it properly, maybe i'm too noob, maybe it's in very early experimental phase.
Wasn't sure if it uses last run or best run or something else as ghost replay. Anyway, this thing also should be customizable. Last run/best run/external replay/etc and with option to show finished runs only. It's so sad when ghost kuski keeps dying at the same spot
Sounds
I hate playing elma with sound on, because the sound quality is HIIIIIDEOUS. But now, it would be possible to make okeol playable with sounds on by creating new, high quality samples. And legacy sounds option of course, if somebody insist on bad old sounds.
LGR
As far as i know, okeol uses the .res file as a container for like everything, including pictures and textures. This is very exciting and i won't miss LGR files at all if the same conception remains in the final version. However, there should be some compatibility or legacy mode. Or an option for importing the content of an LGR into the RES file.
Can use 24 bit pictures and textures now? Maybe a new, more flexible fancyboost system could also be made but i'm not sure how. (solidcolor for textures somehow)
edit:
here okeol gameplay video if still no idea how does it look like

You can simply go to replays menu, replay the rec then ghost bike, it will use the replay you selected.iCS wrote: ↑22 Jan 2020, 10:38 Ghost bike mentioned

Re: oke eol testing
Thanks.
Not very intuitive way imo
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
And i don't want to watch the (first seconds of the) replay whenever i select it for ghosting. Tried to select with shift+enter, but ghosting doesn't work in that case.
Ideally, ghost mode should be more permanent. Currently, ghost replay is forgotten too easily. If i go to different level (even when i select current level from the levels list!) then go back, it's lost. There's a chance you always want the same rec as ghost on a certain level, like when hoyling for PR/WR etc. Even some save/preset possibility could work, replays associated with levels in config file...
Some onscreen feedback would be also nice, what replay is the current ghost, what is the rec time etc.
Re: oke eol testing
Just my two cents after very little playing.
* The bike behave a little different than Elasto Mania, it feels heavyer in some way.
* I love the ghost bike!
* Need grass, maybe make just some little bit darker than original Elma, and also make new pictures, but in the style of: Sedge, Hang, tree 1 2 3 osv. It has some soft style over it.
* If make it possible to turn pictures 360.
* Is it possible to implent moving objects, polygons? Like door opening and moving platforms. Much like in Elasto Mania 2 I guess.
Good to see you progressing so fast, jon, u are the man!![Beer time :beer:](./images/smilies/icon_beer.gif)

Re: oke eol testing
interesting idea!
using similar system to sunl's lgr utility would be sick
pictures, textures in a folder instead of res file (easiest to edit PNGs directly)
separate folder for each "lgr"
could combine pictures from these folders (sky from folder1, ground from folder2, etc.) ingame from console/menu
![Shocked 8O](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
or just make new folder and copy source files there
oh no
edit:
extend "zoom textures" to configurable zoom (separate polygon zoom & texture zoom)
Re: oke eol testing
imo feels easier. grip is impsy stabil
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
good ideas. who is that awesome man who drew trees, bushes and that all??
pos to mirror them also. althoug mirrored pictures look wierd and mb even fearfully xDD. i tried
fufufufufu
xDD
(really... its was not a bad idea, it just changes elma too much. make okeol2 for this better:) )

Re: oke eol testing
nice to get a little preview
physics seems good, as in feels exactly similar, maybe even a bit more smooth (as it should since my pc don't manage 1k fps in norm elma)
offline levels solution quite similar to solutions I've thought of, so nice choice there
of course many things that could be discussed regarding ui/features, but that's too early as you say, at least I haven't encountered any actual bugs or things that's completely unusable

I made this video to show you SLE does not require you to exit elma or make duplicate saves etc.
The method:
1. change level in SLE, and when ready to test...
2. click Ctrl+S...
3. Alt+Tab to eol
4. Currently, lev probably already loaded, so need to unload it to get new changes, load up a diff level, and then load up the level you're working on. You see in vid i spaz out for a sec to load lev, yes: esc up enter esc esc down enter.
5. Test level, die...
6. Alt+Tab to SLE.
Return to step 1
Dunno if you already know this and were making a joke, but took me a few days to make this method when started levmaking, and used it since. Would be nice to get more epic insguy levs if you find the joy of using SLE.
Re: oke eol testing
alt-tab part seems good tip, i restart elma during test too many times
but, i think insguy wants to avoid this exactly
![Image](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/374897935185477635/691571890506170460/tipi38.PNG)
for testing i have an isolated folder with SLE and EOL with milaSL. level doesn't go online until i add it in startballe (as in: offline levels menu in okeol)
tried now and the alt-tab/load diff lev then current lev strategy works in offline elma as well.

Re: oke eol testing
Yes. Sucks that eol does that, seen these lists of my levs before. But, the effort of making new folder/going offline to levmake/using internal is too much. eolconf should have a setting to 'Do not upload levs' when you enter one it doesn't know about. Startballe or Shift+F3 will upload it, and then we wouldn't have this problem.
I'd have no problem looking at stuff like this, but it's not an open source project.

Re: oke eol testing
![Image](https://i.ibb.co/T42D23n/eolconf.png)
Step 1: tick "Lock new levels"
Step 2: feel free to test any numbers of train levels at your leisure, as they will not get uploaded and will not clutter up the database
Step 3: enjoy automatic level upload when you start a battle (this overrides the "Lock new levels setting); note that there used to be a bug where sometimes the level would not get uploaded when the starter was not in level or sth like that ("CANT DLLL11"), but it was fixed by Markku last year or so
Step 4: you know the drill
Also, as tej said, it's not needed to restart elma to refresh a level after it was edited externally, it's enough to enter another level and come back to the edited one.

Re: oke eol testing
Locked levs are saved in the database too and produce the lists like in iCS picture

Re: oke eol testing
a yes true, I didn't notice that they were all-but-one locked in the screenshot, but what's the problem then? they're not downloadable, and only appear if you search for exact levname, for example if you search for "tipi3", only the unlocked tipi30-tipi38 will appear. it's stuff like this that's the problem:

and this could easily be prevented with locking levs :)

Re: oke eol testing
showed tipi38 list because that lev is in the video
sure, not really a problem if level search remains unambiguous, i just like to keep it as clean as possible =D
matter of habit, i've been always uncertain about the correct usage of locking levels, and seen people sucking with it at battle start (didn't know about the fixed bug), so i always make levels offline, it doesn't feel being extra effort because i'm used to it.
for me, switching to online style would require the effort![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: oke eol testing
Yes, this is why for periods of time (early 2018, and random times when fuck up settings) I had levs not locked. Was sick of starting battle and coming back 20 mins later to a bunch of people going "why cant dl lev, tej dum" etc. Now, have had levs locked for a long time and had no issues.
Didn't know this. Thought they were uploaded and not downloadable. So then how does startballe work? Does startballe upload lev? Because if i make lev and it's name is in db but lev is locked and actual lev file not there, how does it get to the people downloading the lev?
Furthermore, would love for locked levs to not appear in the db at all until some conditions are met or whatever, because seeing 10-200 edits for each tej lev is stupid, esp cause name is visible and I put some embarrassing names all the time...
