Hello Planet #4

[Harrison_rus]

It is great!

- 3d models can be added into maps under some constraints, and I think it's really great for TM!

Em. After update MP3 to MP4 I can place object on map and play in it online without custom title? (In standart Canyon for Example)

It'll be not in MP4 but in the next update. And yes you'll be able to add a 3D object in map without the need of a custom title (as long as you follow the rules)

What are the rules

[Hylis]

It will be first constraints of using only title datas and size in Ko. We may quickly go toward others after, making some maps obsolete. So, we will make the trigger to includes items first in the experimental tools, such as mixmapping.

what does the o even mean?

what does the o even mean?

"octet" means "byte" in french, comes from the octo- prefix which means 8

[The_Big_Boo]

Actually, the word "octet" also exists in english and is more accurate than "byte" because "byte" doesn't always equal 8 bits.

Fewer rules, more fun!


It sounds too sudden and good to be true.

Is there an estimated date of release known yet actually?

[Hylis]

Fyi, it was first done in 2009. But I expect it next week, or before.

My opinions
Gj with the demo, I highly disliked the invitation system. I'm going to assume most invites were smurf accounts
It's not there yet a step better towards the f2p + premium model. (ie access to most of game, premium gives you full features ie tools, skins, hosting, etc.)

PowerUp Phase; huu? Okay I'll wait and see. Regular patches are ideal, game play updates? Details required !
