2.1: It's happening! Release details!

[MascaraSnake]

I hope your documentation sounds alot easier than what we have to read before this.

What you linked there is a reference manual, not a tutorial. Of course it's technical and hard to understand.

Are you guys going to release creator.wad along with 2.1 or was all that just a April Fool's joke? If it's not a joke, I would really like to see how creator.wad would work.

 

[Puppyfaic]

Creator.wad was a real thing, but IDK if they plan to release it along with 2.1.

 

[Mystic]

It won't be released because it doesn't work anymore. The implementations have changed a lot in 2 years. I dunno if one of the devs wants to fix it.

Use this: http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

It's quite easy to understand and helped me learn Lua several years ago.

Also, if there is any other increminating piece of evidence that prooves that Lua programmation is awesome, please do moderators!

Oh my gosh, this only gets better.

SRB2: Adventure and colors edition.

Yup, definitely going to be awesome.

Now I just got to wonder if polyobject texture rendering has been fixed.

Judging by the removal of the PolyObjects in Arid Canyon, I think it's safe to say no.

I have a question; how many match/tag stages are there in 2.1.

 

[M.V]

I have a question; how many match/tag stages are there in 2.1.

Or; are the same match maps still used for tag?

It won't be released because it doesn't work anymore. The implementations have changed a lot in 2 years. I dunno if one of the devs wants to fix it.

But does SRB2 use Lua in some situation? Which?

 

[Steelie]

Simple question: Did any of the pre-2.0 Circuit maps visually change in any way?

It was a pretty good idea. Does that mean no one will ever be able to make somthing like creator.wad?

I have a question; how many match/tag stages are there in 2.1.

If the old 2.1 match/CTF beta is any indication, there's gonna be 19 match stages total, which is way higher than the previous 9 stages in 2.0.x. Though I'm unsure if any stages have been added or removed since that beta's been released.

They probably removed the orbital hangar place. I remember hearing them say how it was all fancy looks, but not fun to play in. I also seem to recall them disliking Granite Gorge as well, and the CTF level with the shrink shortcuts.

So I'm sure a lot of the new levels have either been cut or altered since the were last shown.

Personally, I'm hoping the fort level with the gates is out. It's not all that fun, IMO.

 

[MascaraSnake]

A few have been removed since then. I don't know if any were added, but it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Monster Iestyn]

No, what it does should still be possible with Lua. It's just creator.wad was made early on in the days of Lua, and *a lot* has changed about Lua since then so it's rather outdated now.

 

[Klinx the Weasel]

A few have been removed since then. I don't know if any were added, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I really hope that aquatic base CTF level was removed. That thing lagged like crazy.

<@Rob> guys
<@SpiritCrusher> Well, in this case it actually IS his fault, so...
<Badz> D00D3TT364-Y, how do you plan to make that work
<@Rob> we're delaying 2.1
<@Rob> blame spazzo
<Badz> Graphics-wise
<D00D3TT364-Y> so you have to decide between normal jumps, AND using the homing attack
<Iceman404> <MonsterIestyn> Spazzogoat <---- that was horrible
<D00D3TT364-Y> for the homing attack gives you a fixed bounce
<Badz> Well shit
<Iceman404> feel bad, MI :V
<D00D3TT364-Y> but a normal jump can let you bounce higher with more air control
<MonsterIestyn> That wasn't a pun, that was a mix of words
<Badz> I was right, 2 weeks until they announce 2.1 is delayed for a ratarded reason
<D00D3TT364-Y> but could lead you into dangerous situations
<MonsterIestyn> OpenGL is not retarded
<MonsterIestyn> Nor are we delayed neccessarily
<D00D3TT364-Y> so the homing attack is almost always a safer method through the area
<Alam_Squeeze> I was planing to delay 2.1 anyway
<D00D3TT364-Y> but you're not gonna find everything with just the homing attack
<Badz> <Rob> We're delaying 2.1, blame spazzo
<MonsterIestyn> We're not even at our target date for a while yet
<Alam_Squeeze> I need time to update the SRB2Mac project

Tough luck.
