More Information About The Beta Folder

Reepblue — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 04:43:19 +0000

After much though, I've decided not to delete the folder (ie: vectronic_beta), but instead delete it's contents when the new beta program starts! The contents will not be going anywhere today.

As a reminder, the new beta runs a diffrent engine, does not require Steam, and can be played from the Dropbox folder. There will no longer be hard to understand installation.

Expect the new beta sometime this month on Windows, and hopefully later for Debian based Linux Distros!

Vectronic Beta Folder Will Be Deleted Monday!

Reepblue — Sat, 01 Aug 2015 22:15:18 +0000

The beta folder for Vectronic will be deleted this monday, August 3rd, 2015 due to my dropbox trail ending, new engine, and lack of input from testers.

This will eventually be replaced in the future. If you're still interested, please stay tuned for more information.

Thanks.

Vectronic Update Released

Reepblue — Sat, 14 Feb 2015 01:15:15 +0000

The following updates have been made to Vectronic. Please re-extract the mod from the Dropbox to install.

- Added new rail models! They might look the same but:

The meshes are A LOT BETTER. Who ever modeled them before is a derp.
They are in a new location. (instead of props/railings/ind/*, they are in props/railings/*. Please fix any railings you have in your maps.)
New pieces such as end pieces, improved corners, and a 32 unit straight piece.
The UV mapping is better.

- Added new stair models, again the same mesh, just improvements with the UV mapping.

- Added t1_goo. A map that highlights the fix targeting feature of the vecbox.

- Replaced the laser catcher's placeholder sound with a less annoying placeholder sound.

- Updated instances and FGD.

Vectronic Update Released

Reepblue — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 06:36:56 +0000

The following updates have been made to Vectronic. Please re-extract the mod from the Dropbox to install.

- Added more reliable outputs to trigger_vecbox and trigger_button

- Added in a early implementation of a VecBall target correction system. Basicly, if you want to make sure the player hits the vecbox after it bouncing off the walls or such, the vecbox will search for a vecball in radius, then pull it towards itself.

- Inputs and Outputs for more control of this will come soon.

- Updated FGD.

Next update will include an improved target correction system, new map, and a rework in the UI since it's not very popular.
