Hi, I have a mac, and each mod I play need to have it's own MarbleBlast folder. Since you can only have one with that in the library, how can I have several mods at once? Where is it referenced in Advanced, because maybe we could change the reference name. Thanks ;)

Also, side question: Is it possible to change data from MBP 1.20 to MBP 1.50 beta 2.0?
Edit: Adding on to the side question, is it possible to move data from MBG to MBP 1.50 beta 2.0? (Never mind, this doesn't matter that much now.)

(Matan, looks like there are two red dragons now! 'o' [Complete shock])

Apparently there's a third.

I was really bothered by this, and decided to make a place to store all my files, neatly categorized. Eventually I got bored with shifting/archiving manually that I make a neat bash script that asks for a few details and moves the files for me to a predetermined location. Having two siblings much less incompetent than me doesn't help. If you want, I could make a simplified version of that script if you want. Otherwise, I'd just copy my MarbleBlast folder out and put it into its old named folder so that you know how to find it. It would've been more helpful if mod makers changed the usermods directory for their game so that this would be unnecessary.

For the side question: it is indeed possible.
First, you would have to rename your old "platinum" folder in the Library's MarbleBlast folder, to "platinumbeta".
Then, you would have to rename every single "highScoresplatinum" with "highScoresplatinumbeta" in client/mbpPrefs.cs, and save. BACKUP your file first! MarbleBlast will wipe the file if there are syntax errors. You can simply open it in TextEdit and do a find/replace.
Thirdly, you'd also want to replace "easterEggplatinum" with "easterEggplatinumbeta". I'm not 100% sure if it's still used in MBP 1.50, for I haven't seen it in my 1.50 prefs file, but I'd do it anyways. Save.
Fourth is to backup the config.cs file. Delete the original. If you don't, there may be some missing keybindings. I couldn't rebind "t" to chat, either.
Fifth step is to launch MBP 1.50. Then close. You could also log into LBs if you wanted to. (This is all assuming you haven't already done this.)
Sixth is to either remap your key controls in the game, or close it and manually replace the new settings with the old ones. Changing it in the game is recommended.
I feel like I've forgotten something, but that seems to be it! Keep in mind that your data/times always have and will remain offline.

Hope this helps, or at least somewhat!

Thank you so much! :cheer: I would like the script, which will be good not only for organization, but for me seeing and maybe learning some bash(I know none. ). Also, I haven't unlocked the expert levels in platinum beta, when I unlock them, will they have their data?
Thanks again!

Sorry, can you/someone also explain what happened to about half of the advanced levels in platinum, and how to get expert? I'm confused because the last platinum I played was 1.20.

I've got a nice, function scripts that should work for any Mac user. If you find any errors, please respond and point them out if you can. :)

I've basically overhauled like 90% of my original code, to fix a few old unfixed bugs and many new ones. It should be mostly nice and neat now. Please tell me if it works, too!

Thanks, this is just what I needed! It works perfectly, and unless you care about typos (te instead of the), I found no problems with it. I guess that this thread is resolved then? Thanks Pro, you responded so quickly.

I knew there'd be a typo. You can always open it up in TextEdit and fix it manually. Also, try not to break it. :)

I'm glad I could help!
