no matter what popular server I now go only black signs. this is a very modest update I am very unhappy about the üpdate. gwo I find a good converter for bik to webm? a link would be good. all my signs are linked as in the url map.gbx. if I now change it to webm, then the recorde persist or not? if not, the change is even worse than I thought.

if you can manage to place the WebM under exactly the same link (no name change) then it might work.
But most probably all the locators will be something like http://somespace/somefolder/somefile.bik.loc and the new should be http://somespace/somefolder/somefile.webm.loc so it won't work.
for examples and converters see also here http://www.webmfiles.org/tools/

if the game recongnizes the webm files that are named with .bik then you should be able to change all bik files in a map without modifying the map.

For players that has never played the map just update the my.bik file that is a bik in your hoster with a my.bik that is webm.
So the webm file will be name same as the bik file with the same extension. you won't use the webm extension

And other players weill need to empty their cache to get rid of the old bik files.

Of course this might not work :roflol: but we can always hope,

Meanwhile, we are going to upgrade the support of WebM as a powerful replacement, including the ability to encode directly or have a better compression ratio/picture quality. We have spent just some days on this new integration and it will take us some more to bring some more feature to this support. However, we have other priorities at the moment and it can take a while. I am sorry for this happening and be sure we would have like to be otherwise.

No bik anymore, and no webm yet

Well done :evil:

And what about Modwork ?

ok got a tool for convert. bik to. webm. some avatars work well. but for some of them hangs the game in the avatar selection up. what it does not exactly easy to figure out what works and what does not avatar. I had about 100 in my shop which is quite time-consuming and associated with many game crashes. thx for mania planet team

World class updates :thumbsup:
The Game Start now lasts 2 minutes, should be record (in the negative sense) :clap:
After each update does something no longer what worked before perfectly.
TMU format .bik allowed, MP to wait very long after all the promises .bik is also here a very long time nothing happens, then a miracle after a long time .bik is allowed.
Many player build sign in .bik format in their maps, all beautifully and now is .bik banned again ?
All maps with .bik now come into the dustbin ? :teub:
Thanks for that, that makes her a great game from day to day more broken, it makes no sense to continue playing it if so engaging changes destroy everything that has been built previously.
The game is worth 0 cents at the moment :0010
The only place where there is maybe something moved the darkest in the body ! :o

Hmmm.
U can covert your files via plenty of online tools... I know its time consuming, but webm is better than .bik.
Dont believe me? Google it :D


They are aware of the start-up problem & they are fixing it :)
If you dont like updates go play TM version 1.0 from 2001... See what is best ;) haha
