Marble Blast Platinum version 1.14 for Windows and 1.2 for Mac are available at Phil'sEmpire!
Featuring:

Custom Levels Archive has been updated! Now includes over 1850 custom levels. Go get it now!

Best of 2011:

3 January:
The end of an era in Marble Blast history. After closing down operations in November, the InstantAction website is officially taken down. After being without MBOnline for ten months, the news is very sad for the community.

20 January:
TorquePowered finds a new owner in Graham Software Development, and officially changes its name back to GarageGames.

31 January:
GarageGames loses the distribution rights of several of its games, including MBG, to InterActive, Corp. MBG is eventually taken down from other sites also, such as RealArcade. As of the end of 2011, other than Macgamestore, it is impossible to buy MBG anywhere online.

17 March:
One of the best and most respected members of the community, Xelna, announces his official leave from the forums. His leaving is part of a "mass exodus" that occurs around this time on the forums, with Rokoshu, Sonic, and Phil also leaving. Many of these members have returned in some fashion, however (Sonic is posting again as of this post, Rokoshu returned and left again, and Xelna is featured in the third MBG WR rampage).

7 April:
With Phil having left the community a week or two before, Matan announces to the community that production on the Windows version of MBP version 1.20 has been suspended indefinitely. As of the end of 2011, the Windows version of MBP 1.20 has not been released.

15 April:
Marble Blast Ultra is removed from the marketplace after InterActive, Corp. acquires the distribution rights of the game from GarageGames.

16 April:
George releases a mini-mod (in reality a level pack using MBG textures and skies) called, strangely enough, George's MBG Mini-Mod, or GMBGMM.

2 May:
Threefolder releases his mod, Marble Blast Revived. The overall impression of the mod in the community is mixed, but generally positive.

17 June:
Two major events occur on this day: - PlatinumQuest releases its first Feature Spotlight. This one talks about the cannon, its uses, functions, and applications. There are also several in-game pictures shown, as well as a short video showing the cannon in action. - After being banned from the forums for a year and a half, it is decided that BlazerYo should be given another chance to be a part of the community, and is let back in. After some initial resistance from a couple of members, BlazerYo is warmly welcomed back into the fold.

24 June:
With Beack having disappeared after getting caught stealing codes, Randslider declares MBFuture dead and releases the most complete version of it for the community to enjoy. The mod is generally positively received.

12 July:
After being welcomed back a month earlier, BlazerYo is banned again from the forums for harassing Marble Blast Emerald's staff (of which he was a member), and harassing several members by "spoofing" the shoutbox and impersonating them.

13 July:
As an act of revenge for his banning a day earlier, BlazerYo releases a version of MBEmerald onto YouTube (albeit a buggy one) while taunting several forum members in the process. The MBEmerald staff try their best to limit the damage from Blazer's undermining of the mod by imploring people not to download it, and they are mostly successful.

30 July:
Marble Blast Emerald is officially released to the public after almost three years of on-again, off-again work. After a lot of hype and excitement, reception of this mod throughout the community is widely positive. At the same time, the same team begins production of another mod, called MBE2.

10 August:
Jeff releases an incomplete version of Marble Blast Opal, effectively rendering it dead. Reaction to the mod among the community is mixed.

17 October:
PlatinumQuest's second Feature Spotlight is released, this time talking about the new hazard called the Ice Shard. As with the first one, in-game pictures and a short video are included.

19 October:
A new mod, called Project Revolution, is announced by HiGuy and Jeff. The initial plans for the mod are to have single player as normal, but also have working multiplayer. The community becomes intrigued and excited by the prospect of working multiplayer (especially after the death of MBOnline and IA) and encourage Jeff and HiGuy to concentrate on that.

2 December:
After a lively debate among community members started by Technostar, it is decided that Level of the Year will be revived for 2011, and possibly beyond. The rules are modified for 2011 - members can nominate as many levels as they like for the competition, and then a special panel will decide which of these nominations should be in the official running. Then there will be polls made for these levels as before. As of the end of 2011, nominations are still ongoing.

13 December:
As a special treat for the community, Aayrl and the Marble Blast Fubar team start an Advent Calendar leading up to Christmas. For each of those twelve days, MBFubar "extra" levels (which were cut from the game in 2010) are repackaged as MBG custom levels and released to the public in packs of four to six levels. Also, on Christmas Day, these levels are all packaged into one big file, along with two "promo" levels and a marble skin.

24/27/31 December:
The first video (the Beginner levels) in the third MBG World Record rampage is released onto YouTube on the 24th. The intermediate levels are released on the 27th, and the advanced levels are released on the 31st. The rampage, which the community had been excited about for several months, are already being considered among the best Marble Blast videos of all time.

 Re: Disabling Diagonal Movement
« Result #7 Today at 2:46am »

Thanks for the revision, whirligig (most of my code isn't that efficient since I always forget to revise it). I'll update the code in the first post. ;)

As for moveXAxis and moveYAxis, I've yet to experiment with them. Perhaps by using them it's possible to achieve disabled diagonal movement for the keyboard and joysticks simultaneously.

For maxRollVelocity, I still need to do some testing to see which variables actually play a role in capping diagonal movement. Then I can see if perhaps you're right about it not needing to change.

Rise of the Tower (9.69s)

Brixar's levels are always fun but hard at first. With Pascal, it's never hard.

I actually played this level last month with HiGuy and we had a lot of problems beating it. I dare say it took me maybe 2-3 minutes to complete, mainly because I didn't know where I was going, what I was doing or what I was supposed to do. It became hilarious towards the end when I fell right into a lower checkpoint. I eventually beat HiGuy, but only by a few seconds.

With Pascal whatever path I took does not matter since his is completely different to what you were meant to do. I'm not sure it even resembles anything that is meant to be done right.

Enjoy!

I can guess why he thinks it's wasteful (probably needs SLI, better motherboard, OC the CPU [which I won't do] and probably go SSDs only), but gaming is not the priority with it, no, but it should be sufficient to run of the latest titles in moderate speeds.

Thanks for letting me know what your friend thinks :)

So… according to my friend your planned system is "wasteful" for gaming, but that's not the main reason you've specced it as high as you did. It should be good for video work and you'll have a great time with it.

Nobody said a new series needs anything new and shiny… NVIDIA likes rebranding existing chips (mostly low-end though) to new series names with few or no changes. I doubt they'll intentionally fab chips on 28 nm if it is also possible at that time to make corresponding 20 nm chips in quantity, at good prices, and with good yields.

...between new architectures and refreshes.


Quote:
The GTX 680 and GTX 780 are significantly different since the 680 uses the GK104 chip and the 780 uses the GK110 chip. The 680 and 770 use the same chip and the latter has only a small performance increase over the former.

And that's what Trace didn't research about when he made his post.
The 900 series is a refresh of the 800, therefore it is of no interest to me.

There is no point to get the 780 since I knew the Kepler will be obsolete next year, whereas with the 800 series I have a good chip to last all the way to series 1000, or 3 years at least. With the exception of 970-990 a 860/870 should be more than enough as their 900s equivalents will only give a small boost.

It will be the 20nm however that will give a more noticeable boost in the 800s series and I may wait for that one. However, based on logic it is likely the 900s series will have the 20nm chips, because otherwise the 900s series has nothing "new" and "shiny" to offer.
It's like Intel where until the next series of dies on a lower scale (14nm). I suspect 10-20% performance increase over the current 4770K with their 5770K.

I'm not against AMD except they're more for mainstream (cost/efficiency is great).

Tahiti (HD 7900) is quite good, especially when overclocked, and is a worthy competitor to GK104 (660 Ti - 680, 770) GPUs.

On graphics architectures:

NVIDIA for the past few generations has alternated between new architectures and refreshes. New architectures have been released at the rate of one every two years, and that is also their roadmap for the future.

2008: Tesla [GT200], 65 nm, 200 series
2009: Tesla refresh, 55 nm, 205 series
2010: Fermi, 40 nm, 400 series
Late 2010, 2011: Fermi refresh, 40 nm, 500 series
2012: Kepler, 28 nm, 600 series
2013: More Kepler including GK110, 28 nm, Titan and 700 series
(I am ignoring low-end chips.)

The new architectures generally give significant performance increases (taking into account die sizes and TDPs) in part because they are also on new processes. Refreshes generally give only small performance increases since there is no large architectural change, the process is the same or similar, and the chips themselves are not changed a lot. Refreshes are not necessarily "bad" as they could give good performance/price and/or have chips and parts that fill gaps in the original series.

As for Maxwell and 20 nm, there are two options that have been rumored, which one will actually happen most likely won't be certain until at least early next year [NVIDIA has almost certainly decided as of now, it's just that we don't know yet]:

Option 1: one big step
2014: Maxwell, 20 nm

Option 2: two smaller steps
Presumably earlier in 2014: Maxwell, 28 nm
Probably later in 2014: Maxwell, 20 nm

If option 1 happens, then that would be a good time to upgrade (unless performance/price is terrible). If option 2 happens, then Matan will have to decide whether to get the new architecture earlier or wait for a process shrink for potential additional performance and perf/W improvements.

Kepler has "only" been out for 15 months.

The GTX 680 and GTX 780 are significantly different since the 680 uses the GK104 chip and the 780 uses the GK110 chip. The 680 and 770 use the same chip and the latter has only a small performance increase over the former. The GK110 is one of the "gap fillers," to fill the hole above the GK104 that the GF100/GF110 left behind. Except for the already released low-end GK208 (that sits right below the GK107), there may not be any more of those until Maxwell.

Sir, 800 series and 900 series will be on the same architecture. The current series has been on the market for almost 2 years and will be 3 by the time the 700 comes out. By the time 1000 series (and even newer architecture) you're looking at another 3-4 years, or 2017 at the very least.


And the 900 series will be significantly faster than the 800 series. Each architecture update is just a step, it's going to get faster between each series whether they change the architecture or not. Sort of like how the 780 is much much faster than the 680 even though they are both running very similar chips.

If by UPS you mean backup battery, I find that they tend to go after a while, as in capacity being lost so much it can't even do a normal boot, and will auto-shutdown. But if getting one after several months or years isn't a problem, I'd think it's okay. They probably last a decent amount of time anyway. If you value your data, I think you can set up some disks as a RAID set, but I'm not too certain how those work exactly. Good luck on making your new computer. Intel graphics chipsets suck. :P

Sir, 800 series and 900 series will be on the same architecture. The current series has been on the market for almost 2 years and will be 3 by the time the 700 comes out. By the time 1000 series (and even newer architecture) you're looking at another 3-4 years, or 2017 at the very least.

Get whatever GPU architecture is the newest when you have the money to buy the computer. There will always be a new architecture with better speeds within a year or two of any GPU purchase anyway, and waiting for the "new best" will just result in you always waiting.

Gravity Rail (4.859s)

Easy ctrl + p trick, but a bit tricky for the timing because they're 2 oob triggers.

Only one I still don't know who created this habbit but why times in marble blast always ended with an "s" like for expressing times in physics and math. Feels weird that stacking and cubing don't use that habbit.

SSD:

definitely go SSD, I use a UPS and once you have one you will never want to go back. Love the speed.

CPU:

You really need that much? i5 is sufficient...no need for hyper-threading unless your PC is designed for a government program :P. My i5 at 3.00 GHz is amazing, then again I don't game...

At least your not going AMD, as I'm like completely biased against them. Yay for NVidia too :) And I ain't discouraging the I7 series, just saying is it necessary to have that much? Big deal if it takes 9 seconds or 10 seconds to load the PC. get my point :P

Are there any reasons not to keep your existing keyboard and mouse?

What about the current PC? It has to do something :P

1. What are your current computer's specs?
2. What do you do with your current computer?
3. What do you want to do with your new computer?


1)
Core 2 Duo, Nvidia 8800 GTS, 4GB RAM
I read multiple reviews and they said if my specs start with 'Core 2' then yes to upgrade, otherwise not to bother on upgrading.
In addition, my upgrade cycle is once every 3-5 years (more towards the 5) so I need a really strong computer that is supposed to remain strong for the next 3 years.

2)
Besides Marble Blast there are very very few games I play. It's unlikely I'd play anything like Arma 3, Battlefield, Crysis, Bioshock etc because I don't like to play such games. I do however want to be able to run smoothly the higher-end items (such as UnrealEngine, Cryengine etc).
The current computer also runs FRAPS with Marble Blast just fine but a stronger comp would do a much better job.
I'm also involved in a LOT of video editing. I produce a lot of MB videos so the CPU is important, plus I'm encoding my own speedruns. I'm looking at encoding a 4 hour speedrun in a single pass using very demanding programs (of 2GBs or more RAM, tons of CPU).
I'm using QuArK, Blender and looking at additional software. I also use 7zip quite a fair bit.

3)
All of the above and:
In addition if everything is powerful enough for Handbrake to encode super fast, it'll be great. I would like to be able to encode DVDs in under 5 minutes (work laptop does 5 minutes, 4.5 minutes was its best).

Therefore high-end CPU and lots of RAM is required. In addition the HDD is for recording (FRAPS), encoding, storing speedruns (AGDQ marathons) and backup stuff. Oh, and MB can be very demanding on my current system, esp. PQ.

I hope this explains the specs chosen.

Intel drives have write protection for power losses I believe, look into that.

I did check on the Intels but comapred to the latest line of SSDs they aren't as powerful for read/write.
The guy at the shop said he uses OCZ personally, so that's how I heard about them.
After doing more research into OCZ it seems since Vertex 4 OCZ became a lot more reputable and reliable.

I still think of Samsung 840 Pro or Sandisk Extreme 2 but people seem to recommend Samsung 840 Pro more? It gets confusing on favs after reading 20+ sites lol.
That said, because of the stuff above, what should I install on the SSD besides OS and A/V ? video editing?

About power failures you are right. I did think about UPS. I only experienced one super random one (while my computer wasn't doing anything but browsing internet) so I'm not sure if I should worry, but ofc, just in case since this is the OS.

And from me:

If the 800 series ends up on 28 nm rather than 20 nm, then depending on their price, power, and performance, it may be better to wait for 20 nm. In that case you may be waiting 1-1.5 years to upgrade from the 660 Ti. If that's an option you think you might take, then it's a good idea to make sure you are fine with having the 660 Ti (or another GPU if you change your mind) for that long.
.
Absolutely fine with that.

I'm certainly not opposed to a new forum system, but I think you're right about the merits of ProBoards. I don't have the kind of experience you do, but simply from being a part of the MBF for so long, I've not really encountered many other forums that are inherently better than what we have here.
Basically, for the new site, a simple claim of "but it's better!" isn't much of an argument.

However, what Aayrl said about finally being able to actually work with and OWN the backend is quite a strong argument. Also, the other new features will be very cool too.

I just wanted to point out that ProBoards has given us a great platform. It's been neat to see how these forums have changed and improved functionally and aesthetically over the years. Hat tip to the staff for that.


For this forum, I can certainly see why a self-hosted system would be better, since you have need for single-signon across multiple parts of the site, need to include lots of downloads/file databases, and the like.

About the SSD, I think getting one is a good choice. If power failure is a concern, you can always invest in a UPS (good to have even if you went the HDD route). I really don't like OCZ though, maybe their drives' reliability has gotten better but I had nothing but problems with mine. Pretty shitty customer service (mine was having problems and they were trying to get me to dissemble my laptop do all these tests blah blah just ship me a new one..), their drives are fast but not worth it for the reliability. Intel drives have write protection for power losses I believe, look into that.

I asked a friend who's quite knowledgeable about computers and here's what he had to say (paraphrased):

1. What are your current computer's specs?
2. What do you do with your current computer?
3. What do you want to do with your new computer?

since it's hard to say if those specs are right for you otherwise. Also don't be overambitious on what you want to do on a computer or on the specs you want (that's a general reminder since without answers to (2) and (3) we can't tell if you are).

"Power failure won't kill any modern SSD, but it might cause some data loss.
Some SSDs use volatile DRAM to quickly cache writes and then slowly write them to NAND. If the volatile DRAM loses power before the write cache is written to NAND, then the data is lost.
DRAM-sporting SSDs marketed to professionals often have capacitors that can provide the SSD with enough power to empty the DRAM cache into NAND when power is lost.
But if you're worried about that, just buy a UPS [as Perishingflames says]. They are a good purchase just for piece of mind unrelated to SSDs." (Square brackets are my notes.)

And from me:

If the 800 series ends up on 28 nm rather than 20 nm, then depending on their price, power, and performance, it may be better to wait for 20 nm. In that case you may be waiting 1-1.5 years to upgrade from the 660 Ti. If that's an option you think you might take, then it's a good idea to make sure you are fine with having the 660 Ti (or another GPU if you change your mind) for that long.

I really like the specs you've chosen. I think the wireless speakers are a good idea! I didn't even know they had those :-/

I think that Dell Model: L2OU keybords are really durable and nice though, I've had mine for a long time and no problems with it since.

 Opinions for new computer
« Result #86 on Jun 16, 2013, 11:08pm »

Hey all,

After 5 long years it's time for me to get a new computer! If anyone can let me know what they think of the specs I've chosen, or perhaps recommend something, please reply. Please read the notes after the specs as they contain useful info as to some of the choices.

Specs are:
Motherboard - ASUS Z87-C
CPU - Core i7 4770K (is it worth it over the 4770? as a gamer yes, but for a dev no. in terms of price, $AU42)
GPU - GTX 660 Ti
RAM - 16GB , Kingston HyperX 1600MHz (oddly is cheaper than the regular 1333MHz)
SSD - OCZ Vector 256G
HDD - 2x Western Digital Black Caviar 2TB
PSU - 800W, likely Antec. Unknown as of yet.

Misc:
OS - 7 Pro
Keyboard/Mouse - Logitech.. MK710?
Blu-Ray Combo - LG with DVD/CD burner/reader so I'll get 12x BR, 16x DVD and 48x CD which is great.
Case - Thought of getting the Antec 900 again.
Screen - ? 23" or something dunno.
Speakers - ? wireless would be nice, but probably 5.1 min though it should be noted I currently have headphones but I still want speakers.


Notes:
- Z87-Pro gets 2 more USBs, and allows multiple GPUs which I don't need
- I'm not going to get GTX 670 or 7XX series as next year I'm planning to get the 800 Series, so this GPU is short-lived. Am I correct I won't need a new motherboard just for such upgrade?
- SSD is peculiar. I might get two of them, one for Win7 OS, the other for Win XP but XP doesn't have TRIM support by default. Alternatively, only one for both OS.
- I did some research into the various companies and products and found the best around are Samsung 840 PRO, OCZ Vector / Vertex 450 and then the rest. OCZ Vector has a gurantee of 20GB write per day for 5 years, or 36.5 TBs. Because the plan is for OS and antivirus only atm, it seems like a great solution. Should I add Marble Blast / SVN to it or better off with the HDD (as of current thought).
- Power failure apparently can instantly kill your SSD. Is that still worth it?
- Now thinking of it, perhaps 1TB and 2TB mix? 2TB would be great for backup, speedruns and all, whereas 1TB can also be used for those and more programs and stuff. Suggestions?
- PSU is interesting. I thought of getting a 1000W (double the price of 800W though) and learned that 850/750W are now not being manufactured as much.
- For OS, I chose the Pro because of the compability mode.
- Zero idea for my keyboard/mouse combo. Logitech probably would be nice. Maybe what I have now? Dunno, any recommendations?
- Any recommendations for cases? Red LED lights would be a massive plus.


Thanks for help :)

New song from Buzzy! He tried to give it a threatening, burning, mysterious vibe. It's the type of song that is better if you're wearing headphones while listening. ;) The photo was made by him and his brother. Hope you enjoy!

your marble goes into the main menu, again. However there is a very hidden purple pixel you must click and find out how to manipulate (shadow of a purple block) to click. You will then play a void level, seeing that the King of the Mountain is not the location. Instead, it is the DC 4 in Marble Blast Bronze, the large level with grass and mountains, you'll need to use that time machine you find again! Once you're in there...
(The next person to post shall use this: Green grass level w/o OOB triggers. A very large world with castles and rivers, but using mountains so the marble can't get past.)
