    Parkour Survival 2017

    As @CooperO said, this wasn't intentional. We're in the process of checking all the nickname changes. Everyone who didn't win the contest will lose the Sky paint in a few days.

    Unified Battle List and Chat channels

    Great update, been looking forward to see this in the game! :D Rename "Parkour Club" chat room to just "Parkour" - because "Parkour Club" sounds like a private chat for an actual parkour club. btw, could be nice to have a format filter, a list where you can select any format (like in the battle creation menu) but with an option of "All formats" on the top.

    Alexander is not replying to my PM, I guess he doesn't want to play with FnF enough to check the forum for an answer lol...

    Nice one! :D The others tho... does this overdrive effect really look good to you? I'm pretty sure that before overdrive was added to the game people would call these images over-edited with bad effects X:

    [FJ] Flying Juniors

    FJ is by far the most active forum topic, however there is a big difference between being active in chatting and being active as a parkour club. For example, FnF almost don't post anything in their forum topic, and yet remain active as a club and produce videos that take a lot of time and effort to make. If you want to show more activity as a parkour club and not just as a group of players that chat together, I suggest you post screenshots of stuff you're doing in the game.

    No, this alteration removes the splash impact force together with the damage.

    Parkour Survival 2017

    Sky paint was just removed from everyone except the last 7 surviving teams. If you see anyone else who should have lost Sky paint but still didn't lose it please report his nickname to me in PM
  19. You guys made some good points, I edited the main post to address the problems you mentioned.

    Record & Replay feature (NOT video)

    A record & replay system could help the game in many ways. I'm not talking about recording a video of the game, there are other programs to do that already. The system I suggest will have many applications beyond recording videos for youtube, as well as solve the trust problems with spectators. I'm talking about recording what actually happens in the battle, every single event (key presses of players, location updates, boxes dropping and getting picked up, etc). The result should be a code that looks somewhat like what's in the spoiler: (simplified) To avoid fake codes, the recorded battle codes should be saved only on the tanki server (not visible to the client at all) and should only be possible to load in the game using the battle ID (which is a part of the battle link). This is vital to prevent players from editing codes and making fake evidence to report players for cheating, fake chat announcements that look like the CM wrote them, etc... There can be a button for loading recorded battles somewhere at the small buttons in the top bar. Then simply enter a battle ID / link, and the game will load the battle with the observer being in spectator mode. There should be some video-like user interface so players are able to navigate to specific time in the battle without waiting and be able to replay it as many times as they want. Pressing P should freeze the battle. Or if no navigation interface, then at least chat commands. Possible applications of this feature: Spectator mode is impossible to abuse since there's no advantage to be gained after the battle is already over. This means it's ok to make this feature publicly available and allow everyone to use spectator mode through it. The amount of special spectator accounts can be reduced to a minimum required for special helper positions such as streamers and mods which really need the ability to watch battles in real time. The rest will be doing great with the replay battle feature, spectator applications for youtubers won't be needed ever again. Spectator mode will become widely available while spectator violations will be completely eliminated. Players will be able to report cheaters without having to record a video of their battle, a link to the battle will be all the evidence they need. That makes reporting cheaters much more effortless (comparing to the way it's done now) which will encourage more players to report cheaters and will lead to much more effective elimination of cheaters from the game. Also, this way of reporting will be more reliable than a video which can be VERY EASILY faked (I won't explain here how since everyone will be able to see it and use this method. Sergei or mr.stiffler - you can contact me privately if you want to hear it). People will have the option to watch battles, events, parkour sessions, etc after they are over, from their preferred view (can focus on certain players or areas). Contest organizers can use this feature to check if someone used cheats in his contest entry. From the server's view cheaters will always be noticeable, as opposed to the way it looks in a video recorded from the cheater's view. (I could use this in the Parkour Survival contest, already caught one cheater without it but this feature would make my life much easier) Everyone will be able to record videos (and take screenshots) from spectator mode, and without worrying about finding a good time for a spectator to join their battle. People can have a clan battle and keep the battle link, and later replay the battle and record a video of it from spectator mode, that way they don't have to bring spectators to record the battle in real time and won't risk the possibility of the spectator helping one of the clans with useful information that he can see. Parkourists will be able to spend hours working on a trick without having to make their spectator spend so much time on recording their trick, they will only need to replay the battle and go to the time when they completed the trick successfully, and spend just a few minutes on recording it from spectator mode instead of watching hours of fails before it's finally done successfully. It will improve people's ability to get better recording since they will have an unlimited number of attempts to experiment with different ways to record their video and succeed in getting perfect timing and smooth motion with the spec camera. The ability to freeze the battle will be useful in videos and might have some other applications too. EDIT: Some good points people made in this topic: Recording every single battle can cause a lot of lag. So better make it off by default and make it possible to enable it for a battle upon creation or turn it on using a chat command inside the battle. And when reporting violators, using the /vote command will also turn on the recording. That way only very few battles will be recorded, the ones that really need to be recorded. People will be able to see private conversations from the opposite team if they use this feature, which means people should have some indication or warning before they join a recorded battle, like an icon in the battle settings row (though that one isn't very visible) or a warning message like before joining a parkour battle.

    Turns out nobody received the rewards for challenge 6 yet, sorry about that :\ The rewards for challenge 6 will be given on Monday together with the rewards for challenge 7. Sorry for the delay guys

    Nope, many players get to keep the paint for now due to technical problems. You must have a video of your team completing the challenge, uploaded to YouTube before the deadline of the 7th challenge. Well, there's no such thing as "mod access" to a specific topic, but I do have the ability (everywhere in the forum) to hide this edit line:

    The two teams that used a tank on the sign won best entry for finding a smart solution for the challenge, which is better than approaching the task with brute force and repeating the same jump tens of times hoping for a lucky landing. The other team won best entry for managing to stay balanced after landing in wheelie, that was actually the best performance out of all jumpers who landed on the sign, which unlike him had a pretty perfect landing and didn't need to worry as much as him about not falling off the sign.

    GTT also got a bonus, at challenge #2. I guess they just don't try hard enough, they just do what they need to survive, or maybe they're complete nubs lol (nah not rly, they got this far so...) EDIT: I just checked and actually GTT didn't win best entry then, they were just in the list of potential best entries.
