Line Rider: Advanced Beta 0.3 [May 27] RELEASE CANDIDATE

by JealousCloud Fri Feb 12, 2016 6:41 pm

This version is significantly out of date

The current version of LRA can be found in this thread

Spoiler:

Hi.
Line Rider: Advanced has come a long way since I started it all those months ago. I've decided that since I'm beginning to solidify features and become more sure of my builds, it's time to enter beta.
Scary.

This means a new numbering system for versions, longer patch cycles, and less "new" features, and more permanent ones. We're going through this stage with the goal of having a version of LRA that lasts a few months, which will be bugfixed and become the release candidate for leaving beta.

Lets hope this version of the game doesnt get stuck in beta for a decade

I was well anticipating this update and I'm pretty hype to try some of this new stuff

EDIT: bug when crtl moving a connected line and then undoing it

step 1 (original set up):
Line Rider: Advanced Beta 0.3 [May 27] RELEASE CANDIDATE 342bc170be

Line Rider: Advanced Beta 0.3 [May 27] RELEASE CANDIDATE 342bc170be

step 2 (ctrl moving the line):
Line Rider: Advanced Beta 0.3 [May 27] RELEASE CANDIDATE 8cd7667d88

step 3: (ztrl+z):
Line Rider: Advanced Beta 0.3 [May 27] RELEASE CANDIDATE 84a834a598

DOUBLEEDIT: this actually seems to be happening a lot, and the lines dont even have to be connected for them to combine like that

also, im not sure if this is stated anywhere, but is there a toggle for stopping it moving two lines that are connected? its a little annoying when scening.

There isn't a toggle yet. I didnt know it was necessary.
I can't replicate this bug but I may have seen it before. I can't figure out where it is coming from.

Something I can't figure out is why your knobs are double their intended size.

Ohhh okay, I was so worried, haha.

I think it'd be more fluid for menus if you made the song menu into a tab on preferences

also, the line moving point things are a little hard to see on .5x lines with non-night mode or white bg enabled

shift does not flip lines when drawing with pencil

Is it just me or is Bosh's sled nearly invisible when zoomed out enough?

also, shift when drawing lines makes the gwell assist show on the wrong side

Glad to see someone has pledged money to you on patreon. I strongly encourage everyone with a stable income and a decent amount of money to pledge to JC - I know how much every dollar means being on patreon myself, and for the moment LRA development is pretty irreplaceable.

I won't be able to check this out right away due to my own busyness and the track jam and stuff but I will take a look as soon as I can.

used to be consistant 60fps, now it is unstable and jaunts between 40-55fps

I am in shock at how little lag there is, here

Also on the first frame, does it render and display all 7 iterations and then not on any other frame?

another bug: al pink life lock should be all pink and light blue life lock

by Chuggers Sat Feb 13, 2016 3:51 pm

lines that are close together and not snapped together will combine when i move them around, can this not be the case

Thanks.

This is a result of using actual SVG rendering, it's not just you. It's actually a -huge- pain to return to constant width sled, and I think it makes the game look more modern.

I've been looking for this bug for a while now, thanks!

in addition to what is currently

suggestion: dragging a track file or music file into the game window will put it into the track or song folder

also is it possible to make it so i dont have to restart the game for it to show a track file that i just added in, like the music does

F5, it's a listed control

shifted lines show the gravity well area on the wrong side

Line Rider: Advanced Beta 0.3 [May 27] RELEASE CANDIDATE F2ea434593

also, not sure if its just me, but the auto updating line stuff is a lot slower in the beta than in the alpha

edit: i think the lag stems from moving the lines in general

Does anyone have the audio sync working in mono under linux? I'm not getting any sound when I hit play (it works under Windows).

by JealousCloud Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:35 pm

Oh shit a linux user.
My first guess is you're notu using .wav? Mp3 requires licensing and windows has the license and most linux distros don't. Also idk how to support linux licensing of mp3

mp3's run fine on vlc, and just about anywhere else really. Unless most linux software ignores licensing requirements or something? I'll try a .wav and report back.

EDIT: Okay, .wav works, that's odd. I guess I'll just convert my song to .wav.

Yeah the audio library I'm using only supports .mp3 on windows and I'm not sure how to support it on linux copies that do have the mp3 codec (I'm pretty sure Mint can install with codecs). The creators of VLC might have actually gotten the license,
