I made such a beauty post until stupid firefox refreshed due to an accidental button press. So I'll keep it short:

Checkpoint is now complete and can undergo beta testing though I doubt it'll be need to be fixed but we'll see. Basically you have two methods of Checkpoint System:
- The old one with the pad alone
- A new one with a Trigger (any size!) to save it and the pad to spawn the marble. Gravity and all are saved by the trigger.

Error Handler which was made up and done today by Spy causes a pop-up window in the middle of the screen to appear (while playing!) which contains info on a certain bug regarding checkpoint/teleporter (and maybe other stuff, unknown yet). Examples include:

There's no destination specified! Please check the .mis file.

Can't find the respawn point!\nMake sure you made a DTS for respawning over.\nPlease refer to the readme.

One of them has mature language and will be modified (along with all the ECHOs) later on.

Finally the teleporter, now consisting of a new system allowing it to have unlimited teleports. As well, we changed a bit how it works and functions. Finally, you can have as many teleporters as you want pointing to the same destination teleport trigger. At the end of this post there's an example of the new code as viewed in the MIS code (was done via LE though).

Finally, big thanks to Spy47 for doing all this! We are now working on the next set of codes and we'll assure you, the staff, the most of enjoyment before the community gets them.

I say we keep the echos in, they make it easier on people who are modding the game. We still expect people to add mods to MBP like they did to MBG, don't we?

Great work Spy, the error window was a great idea.

Yes, we expect them to, but no, we won't keep them in, I don't want to end up with MBs of Console.log files, you never saw the spam in there...

I make 5 votes for. I think that's the number that means it happens.
