The OpenGL renderer already supports palette rendering in 2.2.14+, and that had been my main reason for using the Software renderer in prior versions. What exactly is still missing from the OpenGL renderer?

This is happening to me, too. I made sure to test without any other addon loaded. I even tested both Sonic and Sonic+Tails. But no matter whether I tap, hold, or spam the Spin button, nothing happens with the mid-spin variants of the mod. I'm running 2.2.13 on Linux, albeit self-compiled rather...

The title of this thread literally says "NO SPOILERS PLEASE"

I can definitely understand why some (maybe even a lot of) people will end up not liking Ring Racers or prefer SRB2Kart. If you were expecting Ring Racers to be an upgrade of SRB2Kart, then yeah, RR is not that at all. In some aspects, it seems to have gone in the opposite direction of SRB2Kart...

It's worth noting that the speed at which a twister launches you is based on how much speed you had when you entered it. So you may want to build up a running start if you intend to travel a longer distance. You can also try fully charging a spin dash into one. Remember that running down a...

Found a missing texture in Blue Mountain Zone. (Nice level, by the way.)

Yeah, my post got held for moderator review due to all the links and didn't get approved until you'd already found it, lol.

Here's all the existing resources I know of for SRB2 history: The main website: https://www.srb2.org/ The news/blog posts here go back to 2001 if you know where to look (https://www.srb2.org/archives.htm), though most of the activity is around the 2.1 - 2.2 development era. Make sure to click...

Looks like the gravity gets flipped at some point in this room: Also, here's the most recent Egg Rock teaser that I'm aware of: 9sphere posted 2 GIFs on June 29, 2023, showcasing a (currently buggy and half-finished) revamp of the crusher room in Act 1...

I'm guessing the Egg Rock room in that screenshot is the replacement for the central shaft in Act 2, and I'm guessing there's probably some kind of turrets/enemies in the central column, which the purple things serve to limit the sight/range of. Here's the full GIF from the devetopment (sic)...

Found another upload on YouTube that reveals (presumably) the actual soundfont name: Arachno. I downloaded that soundfont (from https://archive.org/download/free-soundfonts-sf2-2019-04) and tried it out myself via the FluidSynth audio codec in VLC Media Player. It sounds closest to the one in...

Here's Rocky Mountain and Red Volcano. Mostly the same as what's already out there, but Rocky Mountain has revealed some inaccuracies in The Past's recreation regarding which tree sprites are placed where, and you get to see a slightly more annoying version of RVZ2 featuring slower pillar movement.

...and here's an appendix, showing off Deep Sea Act 2 as well as Act 3.

The worst SRB2 level I've ever played has got to be the 1998-1999 era Deep Sea Zone Act 2 (the one in "Beta Quest" in SRB2 The Past). It's an incomprehensible maze of similar-looking rooms covered in near-total darkness. It manages to feel even more claustrophobic and maze-like than Mine Maze...

I just had an idea for what could be done on the GFZ1 borders: a water current. Imagine rolling waves of water (sorta like the lava wave in RVZ1) surrounding the act (or at least the earlier part of it) that carry a player back to the start of the zone (thematically fitting in with the addition...
