Add tail fakies to my builds? Empty Add tail fakies to my builds?

Post by [senpai] kevans Fri Jan 02, 2015 8:14 pm

So I recently just found out why tail fakies aren't possible, and the way to add them back would be a simple removal of a few lines of code, and tada, we have a tail fakie. What is a tail fakie? Well, a "nose" fakie is where the string contact point and nose contact point swap places, and causes that counter-clockwise rotation because the physics are trying to re-adjust the sled back to normal.

A tail fakie is where this occurs with the tail point and 2nd peg, resulting in a clockwise rotation.

The reason why this isn't possible in the flash builds is due to a few lines of code that causes crashing in relation to the distance between those two points and other stuff that I can't adequately explain.

Removing these lines of code will allow this tail fakie to be possible, and normal tracks will still be possible since we've been making them within the limits of this crash check. However, I don't know what this will bring to the table in terms of endurance and "crash-ability". Bosh will still retain his normal crash checks, but the ones involving anything with the tail will be gone.

In a nutshell:

-Tail fakie possible
-opens up a new set of tricks
-less likely to crash, but not increased "endurance", AKA Won't be Hax physics.
-Tracks will still work just fine

Please answer the poll and discuss. I'll put out a beta build in say 6.7 to test this out.

EDIT: Please explain your opinion, if everyone just votes no and doesn't explain to me why, I'm not going to understand why it's something that shouldn't happen.

doesn't seem like a bad idea at all, but put them on toggle just in case

Yes, only if you're 100% sure this won't break ANY tracks made with previous builds, and will tell us that a track was made prior to the expulsion of the tail fakie crash check code.
I'm all for this. Especially since all other version of the game allow for this, and this game is notable for the ability to visually examine bosh and know immediately what his fakie status is in. This would add to the complexity and we've been needing something new.

I will never advocate for anything that changes the beta 2 physics for what is considered the official build of Line Rider.

The only way I would be okay with this is if we were making a totally new build of line rider and talked about the possibility of removing gravity wells entirely.

I don't like the idea of making something possible that has never been possible before and labeling it as a minor update. This would be a game changer.

the reason it wouldn't affect previous tracks is because the following:
1. entering into tail fakie currently results in bosh crashing
2. if you crashed, then you would redo the line
3. thus, if the track involves him surviving, then the means of entering tail fakie were never performed...

Now, wouldn't this possibly ruin some hax tracks?

but on a final note, I would enjoy playing around with it, but I don't think I would use it seriously for tracks

Not that it wouldn't affect previous tracks - but it would affect what was possible when previous tracks were being created - this means that future tracks wouldn't be playing by the same rules.

Chuggers, me and kevans discussed your thought and the thing is, if we already made the lines affect him to stay out of it, it never gives the game a chance to check and allow tail fakie to survive/kill him.
Either way, the way it actually checks won't be affected. Just one of the checks no longer will exist.

I disagree with creating a forward disconnect. sure, previous tracks will be playable on this version, but wouldn't new tracks be unplayable with old versions?

However, because I would like to play around with it, the only viable option in this poll I think is it being implemented with a toggle. It can't be no, because that's limiting to our knowledge of the game, and we can't stop it from happening really. It can't be yes in my opinion because it would mean a diverging of the game between those with and those without this version are playing two separate games.

Can't stop a version where fakie tails are possible from being developed, so might as well make it able to be toggled. Anyone has the power to change the code, so we might as well do it in a way that's not damaging to the community. Also, I say "it can't be no because limiting to knowledge" because personally I think we should be exploring the game through changes like these to have a greater knowledge of the mechanics of it all. But, I see that that's my opinion, and I can also see how this might be of less importance to some... I also see how it might not outweigh the "negative" of breaking the mechanics of the game.

I once modified the map terrain generation code of a game and got a mixed response from the community. Some people were excited about the new possibilities in the RTS environment, such as having so many trees that one could not see anybody sneak up on them or having such little resources it becomes a game of luck more than a game of skill...
The community was overall extremely positive. The only people who were upset were the admin because he was shot back down to an average player in these environments and the best player there was active at the time because of the same reason.
I like exploring things.

Absolutely not. I think the reasoning kind of falls under why we don't have endurance variable adjusting, or new line types. The change is just too dramatic from what LR is and has been. Sure we can have new ways of MAKING tracks, but if we now have completely different RULES when making tracks, then it really isn't the same LR as we know it. Changes like this have always been met with extreme resistance, and am fairly confused why we have less than the majority voting no.

I thought pretty hard about this.
Tail fakies should, in my opinion, be a novelty not officially support by the community as a valid road down which trackmaking should traverse.
Just like gao showed us what hella killa stuff he could make with hax, I'd love to experiment with what hilarities can be made with tail fakies, but not actually seriously focus on making tracks with it.
What would be the response by the community if they were included in conun's project? I'm pretty sure most people would still want them not to be included because accurate graphical and physical porting is the expectation and desire of the community, including myself.

I voted toggle because it's a bit hax-y. A little bit, because it adds extra tricks for bosh to do and I'm center right on changing LR physics.

What I feel would change the most relative to tail fakies is manipulation during kramuals... maybe.

I think I would agree with this, this way we can see if it catches on. If so, then the next "big version" of LR can include them.

I'm pretty sure that when fsk was making this he planned to have nose fakies and no tail fakies intentionally, otherwise why would the code be there. Could but wrong but the information I have that is what it seems to be.

If this were to be made, I'd consider it just as much a hax version as Quirk.swf. It'd be fun to play around with it though.

The question is,
How refreshing, how much newness would be added to the community would there be if suddenly we had a new completely unexplored manual and set of rules. I think as a whole this could be a very interesting spark.

I doubt it. I've seen stuff like this before come and go. Silverlight, Unbound, Beta 3, Pop Lines... I'm not saying I'll never be proven wrong but I don't see how this is any different.

dap, quirk.swf was the first hax version (bosh won't die from gwells)
