I have no idea what Easter is, but I totally support this! :D
Two weeks it is! :)

Edit: Why can't I ever do a voting in one of the questions being asked? :|

You need to change your theme in your user control panel settings to "retronet"; you can do this by selecting the "Board Preferences" tab. Voting should now work; it's what I had to do to fix the glitch.

Thanks!

You're welcome. Good luck for the rest of the round.

But everyone will be watching new Game of Thrones on the 13th. X3

So apparently Arachnid forgot to pay to keep the nmaps.net domain, and now it no longer works. So nobody can get any runs in on NReality. sidke said that he will update the next version he releases with https://numa-notdot-net.appspot.com/ , but he doesn't know when that will be. Guess what ska, you get another decision to make on the status of this competition!

[macrohenry]

Am I the only one who has access to nmaps.net and who is able to submit userlevel runs as if nothing had happened?

EDIT: 1 hour later it doesn't work anymore. I don't get it.

I am aware of the situation, and I have re-set the deadline to midnight of April 13, 2045. Hopefully this will buy Arachnid enough time to get his shit together.

I sense jest is afoot.

Ah, sad that I missed out on this. Hopefully the next blur will come around before 2020 :P

You can still join. 5th round is double points, so you can make top-8 if you place in the top-3 in both 4th and 5th round.

That's true. You can always Anakin Skywalker it.

[Pony]

Oh, cool! I'll have to put nreality on this laptop I'm using. I'm wayyy too rusty to attempt both, so can you put me in for speedrun, ska?

Sure, mate. NReality 7 is out, and it runs like butter on a hot summer's day (even for people who had lag using Vista/7/8).

Unfortunately, this competition has—for all intents and purposes—stalled, and can only resume once either Arachnid revives nmaps.net, or sidke can reprogram NReality to point to https://numa-notdot-net.appspot.com

I see, thanks for the info. So is the current deadline to be ignored for the time being?

Edit: Ha! Nevermind, I see I have 30 years to come up with a good run. Knowing me, however, I'll still procrastinate til the night before anyway xD

[xaelar]

When the issue is fixed, will there be a new deadline? And how much time will we have?

You will have at least another week. In the mean time, there's nothing stopping you from trying out many of the different potential routes and ghosting them in NED or what have you. That way, when NReality comes back online, you'll have a more optimal route.

What if you released the editor codes for round 4 and 5 - now? That way the competition would speedier when we're back up and running. You wouldn't have to upload the level number for round 5 until round 4 is completed, of course.

At first I didn't understand what you meant, because the editor codes for round for four have been already released. I think what you meant to say was "release the code for round 5". It's not a bad idea, but I'm not going to do that.

[_danielr_]

the editor codes for round for four have been already released

Ah, I did not realise that.

I'm not going to do that.

That's fair enough :)

Wait, you are talking about the NED level data, right? Because obviously you can find that on NUMA (or even in the userlevels demo data.)

[ska]

Any ideas on what to do regarding the NUMA situation? I'm considering using the honour system, and for you guys to just submit userlevel demos (at least temporarily), but only if you guys are on board.

[lifdoff]

Yeah, why not. If we PM you the demos and you just have a Google spreadsheet where you put in the scores for everyone that you update like once a day? That would serve the same purpose, essentially.

This sounds like the best idea I can think of. Would also give us the retro feel of all the contests from pre-NReality days.

For those ancients who played before then :P
