Lol, 4x the people want the update, yeah this update isn't going anywhere.

[Bisjac]

20% of pollers are stuffty builders :p

[Dillpickle]

75 to 300.
Regardless if the 'I DON'T WANT THIS UPDATE' was 9001, it wouldn't matter.
Stop asking, lock this thread, and move along, the update will come and if you don't like it, then

I was thinking this.

I don't see a lot of people using interior maps, so what's the big issue?

[xXBeibsFan119Xx]

Every single update Badspot has mode to this game, has been to improve the game. This update is no different.

I'm just going to copy my maps The Slopes and Bedroom to another file to keep them safe until the update is done.
Oh, and are they deleting Kitchen too?
If so, I'll just copy it too.

Let's see, for the client, for each launch:

• Download manifest (happens on every launch)
• Download all the modified files uncompressed individually (so uncompressed + HTTP roundtrip for each file)
• Write the changed files into the cache (happens after each file is done downloading)
• Verify the files on the HDD vs the hashes in the manifest
• Write the changed files to the HDD from the cache

vs

• Check version (can happen together with auth)
• Download a single compressed archive (with SFX) of all the changed files (if it's updated)
• Extract the changed files (if it's updated)

For generating the installers:

• For each file (can be automated):
  • Upload to Amazon
  • Check the hash
  • Update the manifest appropriately
• Upload the new manifest to Amazon

vs

• Copy the output files and the NSIS script to a temp directory (can be automated)
• Run NSIS
• Upload installer to Amazon

and then for a vN-to-vN+1 updater:

• Remove the unchanged files from the NSIS script (can be automated)
• Run NSIS again
• Upload updater to Amazon
• Bump the version number on the auto-updater

Oh god what a load of stuff haha.

Interiors and terrain has had enough love now. Let's have shadows be the new love.

[Lord Tony²]

Every single poll has been the same, 25/75 now it's 20/80.

The kitchen is an interior too

I hope you understand that this update doesn't delete the maps, it makes maps incapable of functioning. You won't be able to play on maps unless you were in an earlier version then v21.

Incapable or dark because of the shadows?

non functional. He's going to update Blockland out from the dust, and remove the capability to even use maps. You can save your maps, but it won't do you any good. It's like putting a Team Fortress 2 mod on Half Life 2. Doesn't work.
