NReality Main Thread: 6g2 with IRC is up

[Unreality]

NReality6g is up at n.infunity.com

it adds a ghost function (presented as a circle) for demo runs and your previous run

to make the demo ghost works you have to patiently finish watching a demo first (either loaded from scoreboard or your personal best)

this ghost function should hopefully help to create more 0ths

the map pack function inside main menu->highscores isn't finished yet

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO New version! New version!
Shadow function is awesome, i love it, and the displaying state function is amazing too, thanks for updating NReality again :D Im downloading it right now! ;D
ED. Submited a run with the new version, probably the first one, thats cool wee

EDIT: DONT open Nv6d4 after having played with v6g, it will make your savefile corrupt! (I supose, since my savefile was 8mb and then 3mb, i dont know if this new version includes a savefile compresser).
EDIT2: My savefile becomes corrupt when I open N with visual themes disabled or WinXP compatibility mode activated (always, i cant play with aero or it goes really laggy)
Crap I cant use v6g at the moment, ill keep using 6d4 until i find a solution

Love it! My only criticism after playing around with it for a while is that the prev-run feature would be much better if it remembered routes somehow and thus prevented any cock-ups from being repeated (but that sounds like a bulky task that falls out of the main scope of NReality).

Good work!

Edit: Wow, it's really interesting using the demo function to compare two highscore routes. For example: xaelar and Last_FairyTale's 00-0 hs runs which are ever so slightly different!

[golf]

Are there any mappacks that can be chosen to be played from the highscores section?

Edit: wait, I think you added that last line on your post since I looked at it the first time, making my question worthless.

[TheRealOne]

I am so stoked that shadow is finally a function. It makes comparing two routes so easy. You can also see so clearly where one player gains a frame over the other one. Extremely well done Unreality. I don't know what we would do with out you. This is so incredibly awesome. Display state is always useful in MDBing. Now I won't have to have both 6d4 and 6e open.

The only bug I have noticed is that my .sol did get corrupted. Most of my progress on the 100+ levels was erased. Not sure why that happened. But It is all good. I made sure to back up my .sol If I notice any other bugs Ill be sure to report them to you immediately.

Many thanks to you Unreality. You should just buy the rights to N from M&R and I would be glad to pay for new versions you put out. Frankly you have done more for N in the past 5 years than they could even imagine to.

Please have a try on this NReality6g
http://n.infunity.com/downloads/NReality_v6g_cs3.zip

The original 6g is published by Adobe Flash CS4
This new one is published by Adobe Flash CS3

Many thanks to Eddy, amlt, golfkid, TRO and everyone else who have test-played NReality.
Without the support and encouragement from you guys, NReality will not make this far

@Amlt: the prev run is made for FBF so FBF lovers can try and compare diff route easily

@golfkid: haha the last line is there when I first posted it

@TRO: many thx to the encouragement
pls help to test the cs3 version.
M&R probably wont sell the rights of N to me, but you can click the donation button at n.infunity.com if you really feel like it :)

:D It works! Thanks Unreality, now it doesnt make my savefile corrupt anymore, i dont know how you found the problem but you did it ;)
Maybe v6d4 encrypted the savefile in CS3 and v6g encrypts it in CS4?

[Unreality]

I have updated the NReality6g zip file so that it now use the CS3 version.

Unreality, me and this guy named "Penis" on IRC were talking about mappack support for NReality, and I came up with what I think would be a possible and simple solution. All (or a significant majority) of the mappacks on the forums have attachment numbers in the form: download/file.php?id=2780 I don't know a thing about how the highscore boards work, but it might be possible to make new ones for the mappacks. For example, entering -2780 into the map number box could tell NReality to open the pack and add it to the 'master' mappack list. Then players would be able to compete on maps in the packs.

(I'm not making sense anymore and thus will stop talking.)

[Unreality]

it seems that map pack attachments have varies format which it is hard to parse the data into [1 episode -> 5 Levels] format easily

Yeah, some packs are column-based, and some are just packs of maps. The only gains I can see for having episodes is more semblance to N and new highscoring options. So if we're in agreement that they're are two types of packs, then it's a simple two step process: have people sort through them and categorize the packs between column and non-column, then have me go though and add something to the .txt files so that NReality will know the type. It could be something simple, like column-userdata= and pack-userdata= or whatever. If that's not possible, then just the ability to highscore on maps in packs would be enough for me. Maybe they could have their own map number, like 2780-0000.

Once again, I don't have the knowledge of NReality to help you more. All I can do is offer suggestions.

Yesterday I had no issues with the CS4 version, but today when playing NUMA maps my score wasn't saving to my sol. I figured I should update to try again, but going from the CS4 to CS3 version wiped my sol completely - however the saving issue is now fixed.
I don't know if anyone else will have this problem.

Many thanks for the suggestion, when I implement the map pack function I will consider about this method. Welcome to suggest more methods or more NReality features :)

@AMLT, hope you have your sol backup. Adobe Flash always have problem manipulating large sol file, there's not much I can do to its random behaviour.

OK, can someone please confirm whether or not there is any actual user episodes you can play in NReality? Also, thanks for your work, Unreality. I'll consider sending you $10 as thanks.

thx for $10 :D

Awesome job Unreality :)

<Zapmeister999> v6g is the best thing ever since faster-than-light neutrinos :D

Woo chat! Got a couple things to be worked out before I think it'll be enough for me to really want to use though. I don't mind the small entry area, just makes talking a little bit of an adventure :) I would like to be able to use the demo replay and enter NUMA maps to play, and also have the chat entry inputs separate from in-game inputs, so that typing in chat doesn't pause/unpause the game, or potentially suicide you.

thx for play testing :) I will try to fix those bugs

[EddyMataGallos]

Are you kidding me? This is turning out awesome! Now IRChighscores and N will be merged, amazing :D GReat job Unreality

[Nexx]

Wow! Nice work, Unreality!!! :) :)

Issue:

I can only get prev-run to work with my actual previous run, not with demos. The steps I'm following: load demo, watch in full, then go to play level myself. It works neither in userlevels nor in high scores.
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. :D

NReality6g2 is up! Use the NRealityIRC6g2.exe, enlarge your screen to see the IRC chat panels!

Remember to backup your sol.

If you haven't logged in, the IRC chat panel won't appear.

When I try to start it, it launches like 2 seconds (the 6g version is instant) and then it says that message about abnormal speed. I'm using win xp. Is there any trick involved, like newest flash or?

[Unreality]

have you copied the 6g2.swf to the folder too?

have you tried restarting the exe?
