pzl release a beta for the elevators i really want to have them by feb of this year

Trader · December 18, 2007, 11:46:09 AM

Well, considering it's already December of this year, I don't think that'll be possible. I don't plan on releasing a beta anyway. Look for details soon on public testing in my server on a more complete set of Elevator features.

You don't really want it, you just want it so you extract it really badly and break it so you can whine in the support section.

So true... Trader when is your winter break? Do you think you could work on the elevators (a lot) then?

I'm guessing he is planning on releasing it after v9. No clue though, I just know a few other people are releasing mods then too.

Lol @ "Winter Break". I'm an adult, kiddos. I'm 23 and I work 45 hours a week. I work every weekday during December except for Christmas Day and I'm off again on New Year's Day. I probably will wait until after v9 to release (provided that v9 is released sometime soon) in case there are improvements I can make that take advantage of what the new version has to offer. But, I do want to have a good amount of public testing between now and release, so keep your eyes peeled for news here and look for my server on the master list.

I apologize. For a second there, I thought your post said "I'm 45 and I work 23 hours a day." Scary.

1 hour of sleep per day FTW.

It'd take you 5 minutes to get to sleep (you'd be pretty shattered so you'd fall to sleep pretty quickly), you'd have to get up 15 minutes early (especially since you have such little sleep), you wouldn't get any decent sleep anyway because your body wouldn't be in deep sleep yet :D.

Anyway, I decided to eliminate ceilings from the Elevators. I disable jumping and jetting while in the Elevator, so the only real point of having a ceiling was to keep things from falling into the Elevator. However, the ceiling adds a noticeable dip in performance, so I no longer use it. The Elevator will still crush things below it, and you'll be able to build walls and set up Elevator Doors to prevent objects from entering the shaft. The performance now is very nice. I whipped up a simple video that I think turned out well. Here it is:

Don't you question Trader. They look much better, and seem to be less jumpy. Can't wait! Do you have sliding door demos yet? Or are those not doing too well?

I have no idea what he's talking about.� Just let this topic fade a bit until I post new stuff about Elevators.

Stop bumping this topic.
