Sounds like its not displaying the fonts... I take it the 3D drivers and/or directx are up to date?

Not really anything but a minor annoyance, but you might want to fix it sometime...

You know you can build deck off a joint and then delete the deck portion, so that the crossbeam disappears? I find it a very useful "shortcut". (but of course, I'm too lazy to change planes and delete it manually =P)

Well, the bug is this: Building deck off a joint then clicking undo deletes the deck, but doesn't replace the z-beam.

Like I said, nothing more than a minor annoyance, but I wanted to sound important by submitting a bug report! So please cheer for me and send money to (censored)

This might be the result of some formula manipulation to make the game more balanced and/or more fun to play..

I like it the way it is, though. As it is now, you have to strike a balance between strength and budget for lateral supports. If the members for the short bars were as strong as the long ones, you can make lateral supports all 2 units and this would make it really easy to arrive at the cheapest possible solution (as opposed to constant tweaking currently needed to get the right balance)

edit: By lateral supports, I mean bars that connect two arches or pillars together so that their tension/compression is distributed. I.e. cables between a heavy steel arch and the deck

If the short pieces could withstand the same load as the long pieces, 4 2-unit long members instead of a 8-unit member would give you free joints (because the joints cost nothing). Thus, there wouldn't be any reason to build your members longer than 2 or 3 units.

LOL Alex is probably kneeling and weeping in front of his monitor crying "Boo hoo hoo you people killed my baby"

EDIT: DWN says that a rule applies for all his map packs - The train:
1) MUST cross every track texture on the level, with the exception of levels where there is no anchor at the end of a track (i.e. one-way jump levels)
2) CANNOT go over land pieces without a track texture, no exceptions

Now that the contest is over:

DWN01 - 29019
DWN02 - 14308

Read teh rules of teh mission pack.. its the second post in this thread =)

DWN04 - 13960. THis should be illegal, like the record for s04. No, actually I think this is far more corny than s04 =)

DWN13:49994

d01 - 28577
d02 - 14308
d03 - 33320
d04 - 16164
d05 - 49846
d06 - 30832
d07 - 73302
d08 - 46164
d09 - 72356

BANG!

DWN15 - 32874

*guards territory jealously*

43980

Question: Links are not allowed to go through land in this level?

Did you ignore teh anchors on the left? Thats illegal =P

But mom, I got 28577 first for d1 =) (check the master list). I guess if you let me share your record for s6, I'd consider letting you share this record =) (Yes, I did get the same exact value you did for s6)

regardless, d04 - 15994
