Diving mode..

[Shuffle]

I was looking down the main page and noticed:

With most of the bug-fixing out of the way, work on Capture the Flag mode has started, and is going pretty well. I hope to have Special Stages and the Diving mode working also in time for Demo 4.

Whatever happened to that? o.o

lol

How.. informative. >_>

Y'know, that is pretty funny :P.

I liked the idea of diving mode - I even made a map myself back in the Demo 2 days (as a request of someone else). I tried making one a month or two ago, but I didn't want to bother the whole track for placing the NiGHTS hoops and stuff.

What... IS it?

 

[Shuffle]

Apparently, you dive and do tricks to get points or something.

I want Diving mode! :(

 

[Shadow Hog]

Damn that was fast.

Long since canned. LONG since canned =P

I really never got the point of the diving mode personally. Funny for a bit, but not something we ultimately need in the game.

 

[Spazzo]

diving mode...sounds cool.
Could a working WAD of it or screenshot be posted?
...now that i think of it, it could be a pretty decent special stage, like to have you be falling and have to collect the rings/go through hoops while you fall, etc.

 

[Shuffle]

Yeh, that'd be pretty cool.
Except you can't look straight up or down in either Software or OpenGL.
I guess it would work alright if you faked it by making the player fall sideways.

 

[Spazzo]

It could also work...if you fell down in 2D.

 

[Shuffle]

You wouldn't really be able to see very far ahead of you. Plus, 2D's movement sucks. >_<

 

[Shadow Hog]

Except you can't look straight up or down in either Software or OpenGL.

Software, no. OpenGL, though? I'm pretty certain that you can, as a matter of fact.

 

[Shuffle]

You CAN, but everything will be flat so you can't see it.

 

[JTE]

Yeah, I'm gonna try and make two extra kinds of special stages for the next beta of SRB2JTE, Sonic 2-style and falling-style, faked but you can't tell... :P

Yeah, they'll both suck, and will delay the next beta even more so there. x_x Man, will I release the next beta before next christmas?...

 

[Monsteriestyn]

NOOOOOOOO

Screw diving mode. Just release the new bots!
