  playing dumb to dumpsters

  delulu things I say on my trash route:

  • the needle that stuck me was for insulin
  • every cat that jumps in the dumpster jumps out
  • it is my hair tickling my neck
  • the filthier the trash can, the cleaner the house
  • starting fluid is only used for engines
  • rainwater is leaking down into my shoes
  • people throw out pillows for other reasons than bedbugs
  • my socks are made from a particularly itchy blend
  • rice can wiggle a little bit
  • the elderly woman that hasn’t had her trash at the curb for a few weeks is visiting family out of town

  not much of a poem but something for day 1

  update: ghosts and live-rider
  N Ness

  what's up guys, got a new update for y'all.

  

  so @Pie42 and I have been working on a new version of ghosts for a while now. the idea was seemingly simple: a ghost format that, instead of saving keypresses, would save the bike's position and state every frame.

  this would allow riders to make ghosts using any mod, like propeller or mini-bike, and maybe most interestingly, rewind and slow-mode. another cool aspect of this ghost format is the potential for Live Rider! being able to send the current state of the vehicles at any moment works out pretty well.

  with this new db, there's a cool opportunity for a new ghosting system and leaderboard. but there are a few issues: the fr.app "ecosystem" is very open and free. switching gears and locking it down hard enough to make a fair leaderboard would be contrary to the site's goals.

  so for the moment, the ghosts are simply a fun way to share your replays, play with mods, and just have a good time. check the now-playing tab and click on a ghost or a live rider to have the camera focus on them and watch them play!

  and please be aware, these ghosts are in beta. very little has been done to safeguard these leaderboards from being cheesed, and the ghosts themselves may have unforeseen bugs. maybe in the future things will be set-up to have a more competitive ghosting mode, but that'll be left for the future after community discussions.

  hope you guys enjoy!

  rev. I: Import & Interface
  N Ness

  new stuff:

  • live rider - play tracks with others (use https://freerider.app/login to have your name on the rider)
  • search "live" for live sessions in db (also you can search "playlist" and "remix")
  • added transform buttons and preview to the select tool (including invert)
  • drag and drop layer reordering (re-added pie's layer improvements, my bad)
  • added "import from code" to the track db to go back to the code import dialog easily

  bug fixes/tweaks:

  • right menu position fixed while sidebar is open
  • opening sidebar while toolbox dialog is open now closes toolbox (moves toolbox back to sidebar)
  • little description help box on sidebar is now correctly placed
  • play mode now sets tool to camera so you can't draw
  • mod settings save/apply fix (mods weren't saving like the other settings were)
  • fixed "save as object" for teleport powerups

  edit (some more):

  • fix object sensitivity drop-downs
  • fix visual bug on db header
  • fix query not working on playlists
  • fix alias searching (e.g. searching "tsunami" will now search "alex", "alexander", etc.)
  • add db to sidebar

  @lightninggod !! yes the ghosts get uploaded to the db, but there is no leaderboard or anything atm. I had meant to disable ghost uploads until I could confirm they were 100% functional, but I guess there’s no harm in keeping it up. they are like 99% working right now lol
