Hi, I've been running into a problem. I just installed Marble Blast Platinum 1.50 RC1 on my computer (Windows 7). For the most part it works fine, however when I opened up the console and tried to change the gravity with "defaultmarble.gravity=2;", it didn't work, the game just acted as if I hadn't done anything. I also tried installing Marble Blast Gold on the same computer, it worked just fine there.

Am I doing something wrong, or...?

Hi RandomGuy95,

Are you attempting to use the Console in the Online section of Marble Blast Platinum 1.50 RC1? The Console is disabled on the online version by default to prevent users from being able to gain an advantage over others on Multiplayer or during Singleplayer matches. The console should, however, be functional in the Offline section (launch the game and click Singleplayer), though certain features may be different between Marble Blast Gold and Marble Blast Platinum 1.50 RC1.

Cheers,
~Aayrl

I'm not sure what you mean by offline section... I clicked "Play" (this button: gyazo.com/9c56e4b788240f2dce0cd625cff9d4d0 ) to play some single-player levels, it didn't work in that section. (I did not click "Online".)

Hello there RandomGuy95,

Marble Blast Platinum's marble system works differently than golds. DefaultMarble does not work for every marble. Try this code instead and put it at the bottom of a mission file that you want to use (after // --- Object Write End ---):
Code:
function mis_gravityChange() { if (isObject(LocalClientConnection.player)) { localClientConnection.player.getDataBlock().gravity = _YOUR_GRAVITY_NUMBER_HERE_; return; } schedule(50, 0, mis_gravityChange); } mis_gravityChange();

Let me know if you need further assistance.

I am a programmer. Most here know me for being one of the major contributors to Marble Blast Platinum and PlatinumQuest.

Jeff's code is grossly overcomplicated. In MBP 1.50 (RC1+) you can add the "gravity" field to your missioninfo.

Just open your .mis, find
Code:
new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) { ...
And add a "gravity" field like this:
Code:
new ScriptObject(MissionInfo) { gravity = "2"; ...

Alternatively, if you just want to edit the gravity for that mission temporarily, you can use this:
Code:
MissionInfo.gravity="2"; applyGravity();

This signature is real code
Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }
