AWESOME

ok i have just played it and it is great, love the green ramming spheres 

Everything seems great so far! I can't wait for the app version. It will be interesting to see how low some people's scores will get. ;-)

 

P.S. Congratualtions on the radio internet. Does this mean we'll see you in games a lot more often?

Hmm, haven't been able to get on it yet on my mac...might have to borrow my lil sis' windows vista laptop....ugh.

Hi all.

Although I have only begun testing this version, it seems most promising to me.

The RamoSpheres looks awesome and they seem to work like a charm. 

- I tried adding a bot and was actually able to buzz it at high speed by low passing it as it tried to drive away from me. The poor thing never knew what hit it.

 

I also love the way the RamoSpheres look and use them to navigate in the air. This might sound odd to you, but just try to switch the RamoSpheres on and press 4 to switch view. You can now read your relative rotation by watching the grid rotate in your view whan you turn, loop or roll. If you see one of the poles tailing your buggy, you are either going up or you are on the fast train for a date with the Martian surface. :O)

 

But now I will go and see if someone shows up on the server.

 

Have fun.

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT?!?!?!

 

Ok, so I tried it out for a brief period of time on the windows laptop. Currently, the highest rendering spped i can get is 12-14 FPS on fastest. Any solutions to that? The ramospheres look awesome. (Ramospheres, ACTIVATE!) Nice job! I hope to see you on Mars soon, Aubrey! 

YAY NO MORE (ALMOST) NQS

Sadly, I can't connect to any servers on the web player version of 1.9.76, or 1.9.75... Also, on the web player, when ever I open a menu (such as connection settings, or game settings (game settings only effected when I am not server host)), the menu is blank, and I loose control over everything. When it is game settings, all I can control in the "exit server" button, which once I use, everything is back to normal (and I have to rejoin).  I am sure it is a great version, but I am unable to comment on it it's self at the moment. As for game settings, that only happened on 1.9.75, I have no clue if it does in 1.9.76.

 

 

Edit: I tried to start my own server, and it crashed.

 

 

Edit Two: I tried death ray's trick, (open a window of mars explorer,  if the server list does not load, open a new window, then close the other, done) and it is working fine, menus and all.

I'm glad it helps!

I just met aubrey...

 

@_@

I uh....see only an occasional game on the list. I know you people are out there and I've tried all tricks.

Maybe later then.

lol

MacDane, i think part of the problem is all of the junk that my little sister has on her hard drive that she never bothered to clear out after she was done using it. However, thanks for the tips. I'll be sure to try the fullscreen method. 

 

On another non-related note, Mars explorer, any version that can be played in the browser, refuses to load. I tried to play the raptor safari game made with Unity, and it said something about my need to disable Rosetta Emulation. Could this be affecting Mars's lack of loading? If any tech geek out there knows what's going on, info would be appreciated.

uuumm is anyone actually playing it right now? cuz i cant find ANY games. i think i might have to go back to 1.9.7.5 for now :

 

Ok, It is official, I love this version!!! I think it is a great idea to implement key commands into the text box!

 

 

The thing about this game, is that I think it can't get any better! And then it does! 

While I do like these new features, I hope that in future versions we will be able to switch them off.  also, still cant get the settings page for the server list/startup page.  

 

PS: Love the new version, but look forward to a operational sea monster.

the zorb ball will not work it says

"zorb ball unavalible"

:p the mini volcano still work even if you are in a zorb just go in to it with a small zorb and you will go sky high

...And yet another version is up!

 

All known bugs are now fixed (Especially several related to the new Zorb balls).

 

If no new ones are uncovered, this version will be going final tomorrow.

Flying in Zorb radically changes flight pitch agility, more agility (smaller loops) right side up and less agility upside down (enormous loops) but allows several seconds of otherwise unhindered upside down flying under lava surface! 

Please DON'T "fix"!  WEEEEEEEEEE!

Pic 1 (below) is flying under lava surface upside down @ 133 MPH

Pic 2 (below) is flying out of lava upside down @ 128 MPH

 

 

Yes thanks! Now, can we have.......JK! JK! JK!

I like how the RamoSphere field is actively moving instead of looking like a static cage.

Heh, we can now play Martian Basketball! Shrink the size of your zorb, hop in the mini-cano and then direct yourself to the best of your ability toward the volcano. *SWISH!*

i cant see other games?

 

but i can shoot with alt thats cool so we can shoot without mouse when u put the shoot funktion on "0", too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Than you so much Aubrey.  It's great to see that Mars Explorer is making so much progress so quickly.  I am especially impressed with the Zorb balls.  There are so many uses for them.  As soon as they are debugged, they will be awsome!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank you AUBREY!!!!!!!!!

*Runs up out of breath* I'...it..it's BAAACK! The disappearing menu, it has returned! RUNNN! I can't see any servers, when I click "show settings," the interface disappears as before.

In Browser, using Safari - latest beta version, it only seems to happen on my Mac, not on my Windows machine. It could be the browser (On Windows I use Internet Explorer). This was happening in the previous version also. It is still happening, no servers can be seen, though occasionally one may be up. I believe this happened to others in the previous version also.

Aubrey,

 

It seems that anyone who joins a game after I do shows up as not responding on the Mac App. Their messages still show up in the Messaging Console though.

 

EDIT: Its working now though. I think it might have been because I didn't have "Force NAT" on.

i cant see other games :(

 

bye bye mars xplr

 

in memories on better days of this game.

 

:(

I WANT MY OWN ZORB BALL!

 

ID BE LIKE A GIANT HAMSTER OHMS MY GOSH!!!!!!

this version has redeemed foxholes, and has made the box fun!!!!

 

you use the character palette or, on a mac press alt-z

are you planning on making this update downloadable in the future?  or do we wait for 1.9.77 or 1.9.8?

It is a great version, and I absolutely love riding around in my zorb ball! THough, every time I try to get on the volcano, I simply end up orbiting around it LOL. Nothing to complain about... Except, a minor issue: Allot of players miss server insanity! Can we please have it back (perhaps as an option, the default of which being "off" (That way, when noobs start servers, they won't know how to get insane physics, and we can feel safe about it (but we, the non-noobs, (I should not say we, I am a noob my self lol) who can use it properly, will still have the option!))).

 

 

Run on sentence, run on! You almost have finished the race, sentence, run on.... YEAH! FIRST PLACE!

 

Hi Aubrey,

Please consider altering takeoff physics? I know you said driving physics aren't final.

All settings at default>drive>gain speed>deploy wings>press S key/down arrow>nose grind>flip> :(

Only with wing deploy blend off. I ask that having WDB off be default.

Ok, I think you may be correct there about the WDB, but it never happens at speed with WDB off - for me, at least.

In any case, it's frustrating, yes?

 

BTW, Wing Deploy Blend has been renamed Stall Blend

I agree with you Spiffy that I would prefer it be off as a default.

 

Speaking of wings, the old wingless flying buggy is back. lol Seen it many times lately.

*Face-Palm* Everyone knew what I was talking about, eh? Stall Blending...right you are, krunch! Yes, I agree, it is annoying. 

well no one else seemed to notice this, and me and dude just did, the skid marks from 1.9.7 and 1.9.6 are gone!!! i like them and would like to see them back in the game aubrey. if you can, please implement them again!
