Author Topic: Elevators- The truth/release date(Sorta) and FAQ  (Read 2634 times)

Ok. This is a post for everybody that is talking about elevators. I have personally tested them, and there is still alot of work that must be done. THere will be no specific release date. But the only thing I can say (due to a chat with Trader) is that It wont be out until v9. And yes, everybody will have to wait until v9 just to get to use the elevators. For everybody that is desperate to try them, he host occasional public test servers. But if you ask when the release date is, he will most likely kick or ban you. Please. Just listen to me, I have talked to trader personally, and this is all the information I am allowed to say. So, this is what Trader would say, I will be filling in on info later according to Traders allowance for me to say anything.
Please have this cross every bodys mind. Trader will release them when their DONE, And the only info im allowed to say on DONE is V9. So thank you, and feel free to ask  questions. Below is a FAQ list that I would like you to consider reading, please ask all questions.

Many thanks

Once again

BB.

Why is everyone getting so hyped up about this? They are just elevators.

I dont know, probably because everybody is making such a huge deal about them.

Why everyone is making a big deal: elevators replace large, ugly stairwells that take up huge amounts of space.

which are just as easily (and less lagily) replaced by teleports.

The down side to teleports though is that you have to choose a destination, you cant have a portal directly link to another like the portal gun, That is of course if you only have 2 portal bricks

I knew everything you just said, if not more.


When saying "I'm not allowed to say" your really saying "Trader doesn't know himself, and I'm trying to make it look like I have an in with him"


Laremere, ever heard of not telling stuff? Yea, thats what im doing, Trader has told me alot of stuff, that I dont think he wants the public to know about, once I talk to him tomorrow, Ill ask him what other info he allows me to put on. So just shut the forget up and go die, Kuze im the one that took time out of my day, to talk to Trader, get info, Try out his elevators, and then talk about it too the public, and answer questions that people wanted answered. And I dont think anybody else has done this, so if you have a problem with it, Oh well.

Correct me if I'm wrong Trader, but I don't think that anything he says in his public server or on the forums is really considered private.

Sorry to down your effort, but I don't see the point in posting this.  People will still be asking questions that are answered over and over again, sometimes a sticky help a little bit, but in the end these questions will still be answered over and over again no matter what.

I mean wrench event teleports, not JVS portals damnit.
It is VERY easy to set up a level-to-level teleport system.

True, but if you're going for the more modern feel like a large city sky-scraper, elevators can be essentials.

A.  What the forget Beachbum?.  I hosted a private server as a favor to you because you wanted to try out the Elevators.  I have done this for several other people as well.  You're not a tester, and you have no information that I haven't already stated in the official Elevators topic in the Gallery.  Creating this topic was totally pointless, and says quite a bit about your ability to handle me doing a small favor for you.  I won't be extending such an invitation to you again.

B.  Elevators aren't laggy, and they make a lot more sense in certain builds than Portals do.

Are you truly that thick? He wanted to know why everyone was making 'such a huge deal about them.'
