new Polys for 1.5.1 - how can I use them?

[As de Espada]

is there a new version of soldat polyworks?

[Blacksheepboy]

Nope.

Polyworks is now maintained by Fryer and friends here - http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=35195.0

There's a sticky topic at fan apps, which is always updated when new version of Polyworks is out http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=35195.0

There's the betapatch that contains new polytypes. I'm not sure if you need to have latest version of Polyworks to run it, I guess nope. Beware with that though, it might mess up your Polyworks, which happened to me at the first try. Now it's running nicely.

I think the new polys should be renamed. When I want to put one, I never know which one I'm choosing. And there may be a mistake, when I want something where red can not go through, it happens with blue team...

The explosive, flaggers collide and flaggers hurts polys work just fine. I do agree though that the team collision polys are kinda messed up. I reported it at bugs.soldat.pl, but it doesn't seem like anything has been done to fix it yet. 
Anyways I would wait until the beta testing is over before actually creating and releasing real maps with the new poly types. It's possible they could be changed before that and then those maps would be broken.

Well obviously you are news to me...
Hi Fryer, and thanks for you and your team's efforts (:

What exactly does an explosive Polygon do ?
I mean is there an explosion like a nade or m79 when you stand on that type or do you just explode and die.
What I intend is setting the Damage to 0 and use it as a polygon to boost yourself. Is this what it does ?
Would be great!

Nope, the damage can't be changed. It's always an instant kill explosion.
If you want boosting you should probably try to use bouncy polys. I've never tried it myself but i think you need to copy and paste a poly into the same location a few times to achieve the effect.

EDIT: Just heard there is a new poly type coming - bounce poly! 

[Dr.Thrax]

Ye I know this nostalgic way of using bounces...
I dont like it that much

"EDIT: Just heard there is a new poly type coming - bounce poly! "

That would be awsome!!!


And what about hurting polygons that doesn't collide players

[Blacksheepboy]

Would be like acid or something.

Just to clarify, it's actually when you place a few dozen icy polys in the exact same spot. But yeah, a bouncy polytype would be cooler.

An updated beta was just released that reworks the way those new team related polygons work. They should uh... make more sense now. Search bug tracker for exact changes.

Just to clarify, actually normal works. I'm not sure about hurts and OPC though.

[Blacksheepboy]

It's the same concept. You simply stack any polygon type that collides and they will become "bouncy" (really, just glitchy).

[As de Espada]

something that I would like is all the combinations of only (bullets collide || only players collide) and every other (hurts || ice || lava || deadly ||...) that way I could make a deadly bridge, etc

[dominikkk26]

Well you will?
