Marble Blast Powered Up [REALLY^4 RELEASED]

I'll definitely do some testing.

So far, almost nobody has come to me wanting to make a level. So I'll say this: if you want to make a level for MBPU, just go and do it. You don't need to message me first.

Then, send it to me (there are various ways to do so) before Saturday, September 6. That gives you two weeks to create a quality level. However, this is the deadline, and there will be no extensions.

Testers, message me at any point in the next two weeks or even afterwards.

I will email HiGuy asking for a patch to constructor 1.0.4.
Then, I plan on making a level that is sort of a sequel to an MBG official level, not going to tell you which one just yet.
Hope I can finish in time.

No need for that, they're still available on the MarbleBlast Proboards forums. (The transfer broke linked text.)

Here, I'll upload them for you.

... stupid attachments. Have Mediafire links.

As you all know, the deadline for level submission is today. I'll contact people who are in the process of making levels, and you still have time to finish what you've started. But from now on, I will not be accepting any new level ideas for MBPU.

I'm almost done with the level, sorry for the wait.

So sorry I had a weird constructor bug and emailed the admins about it. I will check my emails, but I don't think I will have any response and I probably won't finish my level anytime soon. Anyway, thanks for making this awesome mod.

Edit: I may have found a way to fix this bug, not 100% sure. If I manage to fix this bug, can I still make my level even if I haven't started yet? It's my first time on constructor, btw, but I'll try and hurry up if I still make it.

Hey, so apart from one (amazing-looking) level that still needs a bit of work, the levels are all pretty much done. This means that what we need now is testers.

If you'd like to test, post here or message me! The current development build will be sent out to testers this Saturday, October 4. So let me know by then.

Meanwhile, I'll work on the last few new marbles (yay) and on some of the other features that aren't yet Mac/Linux-compliant. If you use MB on Mac or Linux, make sure that I know this.

Sure thing. I was looking foward to the new version of the mod as the old one doesn't work for me

Sorry to hear about that -- hopefully the new version works! Let me guess, you had trouble with the installer?

Well I know how to do the installer thing. The problem is that sometimes it gives gems randomly and its about 100 above meaning that I can't finish the level. Oh and powerups also do that to me, don't know why.

I WAnt to test the MBPU 1.5!

Oh, no! It seems like you may have tripped the anti-hack code -- for whatever reason it thinks you have an illegal copy of the game, and it does some pretty mean things to you as a result. I would recommend waiting until 1.5; the anti-hack code has been removed there due to the fact that nobody even has to buy the game anymore.

But I downloaded it from this topic

EDIT: Oops, didn't see the “it thinks you have" part.

Right, I mean, it's testing your MBG install and not MBPU itself. It's almost definitely a false positive. Again, not to worry, as 1.5 removes this feature.

Yet another classic example of why putting DRM in games is a waste of everyone's time...

EDIT: Apparently the anti-piracy code bugged out on Jeff too.

Due to me being incredibly busy, deploying the dev build might be delayed up to a week. I apologize for the delay.

I need inspiration for custom levels, so may I test it?

Beta should be sent out to everyone who signed up; if you didn't get it, let me know!

Okay, beta testing is officially closed!

Thanks to all who participated. I'll send out messages to level creators (the ones I can contact) letting them know which levels were selected.

Edit by Jeff: permission to double post. It's been more than a month.

What do you mean by MBG Installation Directory? thanks!

Hey, so: MBPU 1.5 will be streaming again on this Sunday, March 1 at 3 PM.

There will be an important announcement, so be sure to watch! www.twitch.tv/whirligig231

Wow, I want to tell you again how much i like this mod! It was the only mod I was able to install, besides MBP/MBG.
Keep it up! I may make a WR thread once MBPU 1.5 is released. I'll try to watch the stream.

Just a reminder to everyone that MBPU will be on Twitch tomorrow at 3 PM. I'll be making announcements and showing off levels. Be sure to check it out!

EDIT: I realize I never clarified this: it's 3 PM EST.

Giggles slightly to himself imagining Whirligig trying to show off Linear in a stream...

Will the stream be available to watch afterward??? I really want to watch it, but I only can do it for about 10-15 minutes, if at all. Thanks! Eguy

Yeah, don't worry. The stream will be uploaded to YouTube sometime soon, and I'll make sure to put the important stuff on this topic.

Okay, quick recap!

1. You can find the entire stream here.
2. MBPU 1.5 will be released on Friday, March 6, 2015.
3. I'll be working on another Marble Blast project sometime in the future, probably this summer -- more updates to come.
4. MBPU Power Packs were announced; these will be packs of ~5 levels as separate downloads to expand on MBPU, DLC if you will.

So, basically you're saying this mod developed, released, and re-released before Aayrl even got to release another Beta Build for MBF?

Sounds like MBP 1.00 -> 1.50
