P.S. All we do here is for nothing. For our own fun.

I have done that because the hires textures (when available and used) look sharper in the game. To me, it's an improvement. The trouble is that the hires textures at the time to the release still look average now...

The fact is that sometimes, there is no hires tex, nor medres files, so it's more and more blurry...

However, Xinfe, you can do what you want. And we will try it out.

My changes uses a lightened file structure, so that the needed files are more accessible, especially the tex files. So, it's easier to customize the game (less files to update).

I still haven't tested the compatibility with mk's installers dealing with customization.

Again, don't expect anything before December.

(mk, how Alping Easy is doing ?)

OK ! Good luck :D

Matt and Dom!

What I would ask you - never try to beat Michael on Alpine Easy again if he will strike back. He deserves for the world record on that track.

Michael is the author of that difficult route, he has made everything that it would be possible, he tried that route thousands of times before he could finish without fall, and now - you came and seen how he goes, and copied him and took his record. Of course, you all are awesome as he is, but this is not honest. Please don't do it again. I will not too.

I know what you are saying Oleg, but it is progress. Although I do respect the wishes of others, so ok, I won't try to beat Michael on Alpine Easy, every other track holder better be on high alert. Just one thing though, I'm very unsatisfied with the last leg to my 1.18.86 so I will beat it, any helpful runs on the way will be going your way, then Michael is flying solo.

Again, I know what you are saying, I respect that. All of the work put in to find the fastest possible route is awesome, but isn't it best to find the fastest possible race as well? Anyway, excellent work Michael for discovering that route! You deserve #1! :up:

On a lighter subject, the Hall of Fames are complete (beta), you should be able to access all of the Hall of Fames (including the faulty one which is now fixed) so check it out! Temporary link:

Also, do you see a really wacky thing where one text is much higher than the other? If you do can you find the problem? It works perfectly on my Macintosh, but I'm not sure about PC.

Does that bother you? I can see if I can find a different design of my website but my records are unchangeable, you'll just have to beat them! :D

Speaking of copying I found a slightly faster route on Forest Snowboard Park, check out the run at my website (Under Construction Version), or the HOF ST. 1.07.16, another world record!

About "Hall of Fame for Original Races"

"14, 2009" is something wrong.

Blue on Black is not well visible, again.

The smaller text is maybe without any style ("no_line"). I didn't see it.

Michael, you can send your "Original Races" to Matt. I think you have them for all tracks. I didn't try this on all tracks.

Weird, it comes up fine on PC and Mac, it might just be your browser.

Video Update:

Special Housemarque 1.14.50 Matt

Forest Snow Park 1.07.17 Matt

Alpine Medium Matt vs mk

Alpine Easy Australia vs Germany (seven racers)

Video Update

What is fine for you may be not fine for others :)

Can you upload or share on your page the original (AVI) videos? Youtube videos are not of good quality, and I cannot download them in good quality.

I struggle to find an error for Original HOF, as for the theme it's staying the way it is.

Hmm, I can make it so there is a download link on my website, it will be a mass project getting the files onto Mediafire (free online storage), I'll think about it, and it isn't .AVI but .WMV, I use a different program to Michael.

Thanks. WMV is OK, though it's much worse than AVI.

Michael. I also copied your design because I am not good in Web design.

Matt is a child, and so you would better help him. Do you have copyrights to your designs? :)

Of course, Matt could take another music, but when he takes his own music it's awful. So, better to hear the same music everywhere :)

As I said, you all can do what you want, like myself.

I only had a copyright on Alpine Easy. :-)

Because of not accepting my copyright at Alpine Easy, I want to have one million dollars. I accept payment until Christmas.

I wish I had 1 million dollars, when you beat my 1.18.86 make a © sign on the end, and if you are the true owner it should be beaten before christmas. :D

I am not good at making websites so like Oleg I copied your design, but I'm working on a new one, it may take a while. Just so you know, your website will be the best and always will be. I've changed the music on Alpine Easy Australia vs Germany

Last thing:

Since you put © on Alpine Easy, I am putting © on Alpine Medium...

No, not really, feel free to beat it, but be wary, being the true owner means you will be beaten. :D

Video Update:

Forest Easy/v2 1.08.10 Matt

High Speed by Matt 1.07.47 Matt

You can download these videos from:

More will be coming at that URL, but later.

ok..

The new era begins...

Yes, but not now, because I don't have a lot of time. But later my new era will begin.

However, I think that the best of the best are those who were successful on the world record routes of Alpine Easy and Alpine Hard, the most difficult routes of all. Oli from Munich belongs to the best of the best, because he found the world record route at Alpine Hard before he stopped to play. The other four who were successful on both routes are Oleg M, Matt, Dom and myself. If I had to name five for a Hall of Fame, these are my TOP 5. No one else in the world ever made it on these two, most challenging routes.

I agree with the Top 5, but not the new era, at least for a while.

My website is back online with a new look! I am still creating the pages so it is still in the under construction stage, but Home is still pretty cool.

Done. The new era has begun.

So. I have decided to focus on the original tracks, not on the Special tracks. My favorite tracks are the 9 original tracks, where I need minimum 6 world records to be happy. Now I have 5, and so I need only one more world record at either Forest Easy or Village Easy. But if I will be attacked again at Alpine Easy, I will also attack at Alpine Medium and Alpine Hard. Matt, please tell Dom. Alpine Easy is mine. I found all routes, especially the world record route, and created a lot of new safety splines and cameras and some landmarks which are now available for all. So be fair. Without me the new route would never have been possible. So: Alpine Easy is mine.

http://ssb.bplaced.net/Alpine_Easy.gif

Matt, you are better in the total ranking because of the number of world records on the Special tracks, were I stopped for now. My tracks for now are the original tracks. This is my claim, and especially Alpine Easy.

Ok, I'm satisfied with 1.18.86, I'll leave that forever unless you make it look ridiculous. To be honest I wasn't actually trying to beat you, but Dom. It is my duty as a brother to beat him at everything I possibly could and I saw flaws on his 1.19.93, so I beat it, but by a bit too much.

Alpine Easy is yours Michael, but everything else is a target. As I said earlier, feel free to attempt to beat my Alpine Medium, but I will beat you even if you manage to defeat it.

I have a small request first, as I know you will beat me on Alpine Easy, could you leave my 1.18.86 as 1st until you actually beat it, instead of losing to 0.00.00? It would just make me feel special for that little bit longer.

Re:

Your duty as Dom's elder brother is to protect him and to encourage him, not to demotivate and to destroy him. :bulb:

And I, as the older one, also don't want to demotivate and destroy you. And so I won't attack at Alpine Medium and Alpine Hard if you and your brother accept my copyright at Alpine Easy. :up:

But of course I have to fight for all other world records, that's for sure. Life can be cruel for young boys, you know... :eek-blue:

But one world record on the original tracks is better than none, especially for someone who is not even allowed to drive a car. :rolleyes:

Alpine Easy: I already beat you yesterday evening. Oleg has to check the race. The world record is mine. It wasn't very difficult for a champion like me. ;)

I don't take responsibility for him, but responsibility for the destruction. Besides, I only beat him.

You don't have to keep your hands off Alpine Medium, the idea of this game is to get the fastest time possible, so if you beat me, it will only encourage me to beat you more! :D But yes, I accept your copyright.

Oh ho! That is something I wasn't aware of. What time did you get? (approximately)

Anyway, well done! You have proved your worthiness for holding #1 on Alpine Easy. :up:

Re:

My time is faster than 1.18.86, but so far not faster than 1.16.58. :hat:

I, Oleg M, have tested and certified Michael's new world record at Alpine Easy. The time is faster than the old world record (which was 1.18.86). Michael is the new world record holder at Alpine Easy.

Matt wanted to remain the first for a while, in the hall of fame, so Michael can leave the table as is for a while.

Michael, could you please make a video so I could see the new world record for Alpine Easy?

Re:

I have updated the Hall of Fame Special Tracks, but cannot promise updates in the future. I had to correct some times: http://ssb.bplaced.net

Alpine Easy world record: I will publish time, video and DAT file in 2010.

2010! But that's too long to wait. ;)

My website has been yet again updated, it's pretty cool. Could you guys check for bugs or other improvements. Would really help. :D

Patience can be hard sometimes.

I the meantime I made it at Tito's route in 1.21.90.

Nice :up: I made 1.23.61 through the Ice Cave and 1.27.89 on Alpine Easy.

Could you email the run or give us a link?
