Hello everyone, this is TPorter.
I have NOT seen any post about why besides Frostfire saying that it's postponed on the first post, but I'll tell you why.
We're going to wait until RC2 for .recs to be fixed. The .recs have much better quality, and will most likely make it easier for us to record.
We quite haven't figured out what we're going to do with the .avis people have recorded, but I'd recommend talking to Frostfire about that.
Honestly, don't worry about it. RC2 isn't that far away, and we'll be recording in no time.
Just play on, and wait till further notice k?
I'm not the only one anxious to record right now.

P.S. We should get the "Bang the Keyboard!" topic back up and running...

Levels in terms of mission files and associated level images (e.g. AwesomeLevel.mis and AwesomeLevel.jpg) are placed in missions/customs
HOWEVER you still need interiors+textures+anything else
Interiors and textures (anything else unless specified) go to platinumbeta/data/interiors (if 1.14, marble/data/interiors). These are normally .dif files (interiors) and any other jpg/png (textures, e.g. cool_grid2.jpg)
Skies (normally indicated as a directory on its own, e.g. Atoll) go to platinumbeta/data/skies (1.14, marble/data/skies)
Shapes (end in .dts) go to platinumbeta/data/shapes (1.14, marble/data/shapes) with associated textures (they are usually already in a directory for you)
This makes pretty much 99.9% of the levels working on the spot.
Lack of skybox will give you ERROR: INVALID PACKET right when you start a mission/level. Sometimes textures do that but #1 suspect is the skybox.
You can check which skybox it wants by looking at the mission file info, look for .dml in the materialList under Sky (e.g. materialList = "~/data/skies/Beginner/Beginner_Sky.dml"; which tells you it wants a .dml in /data/skies/Beginner/ and the sky directory is called Beginner ... can switch it as: materialList = "~/data/skies/Atoll/Atoll.dml"; and so on)
As buzz's levels usually require custom skyboxes it's a good idea to download them from marbleblast.com/index.php/downloads/cga/cga-skies .
You'll find Andrew/PF's most used but others are used as well.
Also another reason I said to wait for 1.50 to come out is because anytime we patch the game any script change causes the .rec to break instantly, so it's better to wait for Final.
You can record in 1.14 just fine (assuming Frostfire is happy with that).
If anything doesn't work or you need help customizing and understanding how things work just send me a PM, I'll be happy to help

By this time a lot of you have probably heard that BWRR was cancelled.
Well guess what? It's back, and this time to stay!
Why is it back?
You can thank me somewhere around 0.000001% for BWRR becoming a foreseeable goal instead of a distant image. There's now a small team working on the rampage!
- Frostfire (Started the rampage)
- Regislian (Organizifimicator Supreme)
- Nihahhat (Rampage videos [Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3] will be featured on his channel)
- Jeff (JeefNuggets to all new to the community, he'll be recording the MAC .recs)
- All of you guys who are recording for it!
Do I need to change how/when I record now?
- We will be using .recs. Record in MBP 1.50 using rules seen on original post.
- You can only use OFFICIAL MBP marbles now (blame .recs)
- Windows: Send your .rec and .infs to nihahhat at gmail DOT com ; Macs: Send your .recs and .infs to programmerjeff95 at gmail DOT com
That about wraps it up! I'm super excited about the rampage and all of you should be too

unhiding folders helped to get to AppData, now to download everything so all the levels work. So far three have worked

What do you mean in the first post by "unchecked rec"? Do you mean I'm not sure which rec is the right one? I sent a rec to Jeff, hope it's the right one if it's not, I'll try again.

Eguy, remember to submit your time in the proper form here for it to be accepted.
Also Regi, did you send your .rec to Mason? I can't add the time until notifies me that the .rec either works of doesn't

I thought I gave you the proper form when I sent it to you before you announced we had to send to Jeff instead.
