Multi WRs #130 at 21:32 UTC by SveinR

One new multi WR.

Multi WR table

Records #88 at 17:12 UTC by Abula

Four kuskis (Zweq, John, Luther, xp) out of top5 improved their total times! Also Tm entered 38mins and Karesz 39mins club.

About five weeks since last update. That's mainly because Paprika got published and I didn't have any extra time. In addition people could also play more and send in their times.

User contests category at 22:43 UTC by Abula

We have just decided to create a new category to News: User contests (it's Low priority so it needs to be enabled in Settings). It's a child category of Contests and meant for people who want to write news to Moposite about their own contest (for example because you updated the page or added new levels). Alot of players read the Moposite news so if you wish, you are more than welcome to use this feature, we think it's likely to give contests more players and thus make contests more interesting.

What we require is that your contest is of some quality, and that it's either been running for a while or that you have previously done something similar and have been noticed at some level in the community. And obviously you also have to be able to write English. We also expect that those willing to use this feature will have something to write about more than once in a year.

As with everything, this privilege too comes with responsibility, so if you write off-topic or abuse your right to write, we wont hesitate on taking your privilege away. In extreme cases banning might be considered, but we wish that there will be no need for such measures as this is meant to be for everyones benefit.

If you are willing to try, please mail your nick and url of your contest to help from moposite , com. And yes, the contest must be running in your own site.

Elma tattoo at 22:24 UTC by Abula

Elma is my greatest passion and a full-time hobby so why not give some more everlasting appreciation? I haven't heard anyone having an Elma tattoo, so I visited a tattoo artist and took one. I hope I'm the first one (and therefore unique) but if there is someone else with an Elma related tattoo please report.

Take a look at my new tattoo, what do you like? Would be nice to hear comments and opinions... maybe someone else could follow? Maybe a smaller one like killer in shoulder?

News filters at 20:12 UTC by Abula

Some instructions of using Base and Temporary filters has been written to FAQ.

The default filters are set to Medium, we assume that most people don't want to read all the not-so-important news. This means that by default the user (you) can't see the Low priority news. To see those news you should change your filters to All - Low in Base filters, on the Settings page. In addition you can override the Base filters by using the Temporary filters (look at the right column).

If you can't change the filters yourself (try again!) just use this link shortcut to see all the news on Moposite. The currently used temporary filters are displayed in a box above the news.

To filter a sub-set of the Base filters' set, uncheck the Disable Base filters. Otherwise don't touch it. Headlines in the left column shows only the Medium priority news, RSS feed includes all.

I hope this cleared a bit, don't hesitate to ask if not. Filters were quite a work to code so would be shame to not use them.

Information and Knowledge merge at 20:36 UTC by Abula

Many people found the Information and Knowledge's grouping confusing and in fact I agree. I'm not really sure why it was made like that initially but with a help of MagnusB the menu structure is now reorganized. Hopefully it's more logical this time.

Also there might be some broken links because of this operation, please report them to us unless they are listed in the broken links list.

  • Change themes (obviously not many themes available at the moment)
  • Change News Base filters
Administration
We have nice systems for KOM, Banning, Adding news, Moderating comments and changing privilities. I find admin sections pretty important that moderators won't get annoyed of using them and stop doing their vital jobs.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything important.

Banning at 0:43 UTC by Abula

A few words about banning on Moposite since the first bans were served yesterday. The shame list isn't public now, but we might build something to show the current and old bans. Maybe it's not a good idea though because some people might find it interesting to compete on.

It's very easy to ban for admins, just a few clicks. On Mopolauta it's a bit harder (we might combine these two systems) but not too problematic.

The first ban is one week. The second ban will be two weeks, third one 3 weeks and so on. So the more bans you have gotten the longer you will be in penalty. Of course we can give people more than just one ban at once, for example if a kuski gets three bans for his first time it means six weeks (1 + 2 + 3). Is the logic clear?

How about the rules then? What can you do and what not? We are not going to write any specific rules now so use your common sense. And English.

Elma Online beta at 23:53 UTC by Abula

milagros released a new Elma patch, Elma Online beta, about a month ago. It was patched to the Very final 1.2 which was released on Moposite a few days ago.

By using the Elma Online beta you can multiplay over internet. It might be a bit laggy but at least axxu and rawl managed to drive two WRs by using it. It's recommended to use Skype, Teamtalk or something similar to get communicating easier.
There really is no place for EOL on Paprika yet and I move hosting it further to future.

Paprika release at 18:50 UTC by Abula

After two years and 2000 hours (ok, I didn't count) and here we are. Paprika is up and running. Some people have known about it, some might have guessed something's going on, others might have not.

Paprika is the code name for the latest version of Moposite, its coding was started in the summer of 2004, while Abula was still in the army. At the moment, Paprika isn't even near to being complete, but we were still able to publish it now (user managing is working quite well and the basic structure to build on is there). This news will only cover a few of the more important things and the full, more detailed, list will be published at a later time.

  • Elasto Mania 1.2 is released
  • News section is totally renewed, it's much easier to use for news writers but it also supports comments, categories, filters and priorities - which will be explained thoroughly later on
  • Panel: log in by using your Kuski gallery account information, you can edit some settings; if you have forgotten your password you must wait a bit; we will start the user managing in a few days time
  • New main page for first-time visitors (it's only shown for visitors who are not logged in so click Remember me if you want to enter the News page directly instead of Main page when surfing to Moposite)
  • Knowledge is a new main section, quite alot new material there
  • Information section is fully updated
  • The layout is tweaked and links are a bit more clever - eventhough they might be a bit confusing at first
  • Administration has been made better and easier
For the time being, there aren't too many obvious changes around here, if you compare it to the two years it's taken us to get to this point. That's because we had to design and code the basics very carefully to make developing of the site easier in the future. New sections and features will be introduced as they are completed. The next major change will be to give a facelift to Kuski gallery and other community pages. That will include a much nicer user managing both for admins and visitors.

Bug reports are more than welcome.

People who have been or still are a part of this project:
Abula and Viper_KillerGuy - both have put alot of time and effort into the coding and obviously Abula being the leader of the whole project; Sathy - the editor, feedback; Zebra - Designing section; BarTek - Welcome pictures; skint0r - code support, feedback; SveinR, px, Tisk and Luther some minor tasks.

Drop a comment (right-bottom corner) or keep on discussing on Mopolauta.

Very final 1.2 at 0:47 UTC by Abula

Hibernatus has coded a brand new Elasto Mania 1.2 unofficial version offering many new features.. wait! That was three years ago! Yes, we are very well aware of that and as a main central of Elasto Mania community we should have released the new patch alot earlier. Our sincerest apologies for the delay.

However, we would like to come clear the actual reasons for the delay. The most important reason was that as we have high standards, we must carefully evaluate all the new patches to see whether or not they should be published - which basicly means checking for bugs and so on, because we don't want to confuse people with first a release and th en a bug fix right after. Of course there are many sound arguments against this reasoning, and we might eventually change our standards. One other important reason for the delay was the famous editor bug in the Final version. We wanted to have a solution for that and apparently Hibernatus fixed it for us after we requested it. This happened about one year ago. Also, we had planned on releasing the 1.2 at the same time with Paprika and I thought it wouldn't take more than a month or something. But as it turns out, it took alot longer than that! But anyway, here we have it.

This Very final 1.2 should be totally bug free, no known bugs involved:
  • XP lag bug is fixed
  • Across levels work in total time counter (they were problematic for example in Hoyla Mission total time calculating)
  • The editor bug is fixed
A brief summary of the new things in Elma 1.2 compared to 1.11a:
  • New options such as screen resolution, zoom, centered camera, replay saving reminder and possibility to edit locked levels
  • Lev-Packs
  • Advanced fast search in menus
  • Merging replays
  • Alovolt, brake alias and esc alias keys
  • VCR-style controls when watching replays
A detailed list can be read on the Elma12.txt and some other information on the Elasto Mania information page.

Download the patch.
