VectorX : Do I understand right: After all those years of Vector War and your good rankings you write that you don't like cramming and rather take it easy in the Vector War?! I wonder what scores you would get if you put effort into playing...  Nah, Y* A* S* I and especially Spinball I really had to work at them to get in scores, the latter of which was literally within minutes before the contest ended. Usually I frown at what could be considered last minute "sniping" but it was still within the rules, plus I just didn't have a lot of time, as per usual (still playing in between bouts of chronic fatigue here). |

Uh oh Rapetou33 is here. I feel like I'd have to play an absolutely perfect game to get that kind of blitz score.
Rapetou33 if you're too busy to qualify I completely understand

Greetings again, another big thank you goes to volcanus , the programmer of Floor is Lava. He has fixed the bug that was recently discovered and provided yet another game binary. You can find the new version on the project page of Floor is Lava. Also many thanks to Malban for spotting this bug and for helping to locate its origin. Cheers, Peer |

Hi Rapetou33, nice to see you again :-)
Edit: Mhh picload deleted some of my last pictures. If you want a re-upload of the latest 3 scores from Wednesday evening, I will do it. Edit again: Seems they deleted all pictures? Maybe the don't like how I embedd them here in the posts? Still have all pictures, if somebody wants to see them... THANK YOU PICLOAD :-(
OK - I saw now, they changed their conditions. It is not allowed anymore to embedd the large picture directly into a website or into HTML code. (As I did it here...) It's only allowed to show the small thumbnail directly and for the large picture, it's only allowed with a link to picload. Sure for the reason, that they can show adverts around the picture. Somehow not "free" anymore...
As I said: If somebody wants to see my score pictures again, I will re-upload them...

LOL yes... Will have to play now everything again... I lost, because I "hacked" picload... No price, no t-shirt this year, bye bye all...
Also just kidding... And - I'm only at the first place at the moment, because Malban gave a hint about the scoring in Release! (Normally I also read the manual myself, but this time I didn't.) So I tried yesterday again Release and got some good scores :-) Anyway Malban, I think you will beat me, I will not have much time the next 2 days to play, but try to finde some "free hours"...
Edit: And sure, it is not only a matter of time - Malban, YOU are really a very good Vectrex player.

 Highscore list has been updated. Ranking (complete): 1. Chainsaw (100,00%) 2. Malban (99,98%) 3. jbrodack (72,39%) 4. Fruktodlaren (59,50%) 5. fmml (55,99%) 6. VectorX (53,64%) 7. nexus6 (48,98%) 8. hcmffm (48,49%) 9. 50tbrd (46,80%) 10. SiLic0ne t0aD (34,27%) 11. Len (29,22%) 12. D-Type (27,04%) 13. darrin9999 (23,50%) 14. Moyu (20,39%) ___ Rapetou33 : Great to see you in another Vector War! Vive la France! When exactly does the new "Source code" appear? Not that I make some scores and they are invalidated because of the wrong word :-) The score code "ALTAMIRA" is valid till Friday 2:00 a.m. EST (=Friday 08:00 MEZ/CET) ... So, if anybody out here is interested in acting as an external early-alpha and beta tester for next year's Vectrex projects, please get in touch with me, and I'd be happy to add you to our team [ Thank you, Peer, for your nice and kind words. The students and last not least you did and do an excellent job. Only with a lot of preparation, effort, and motivation such excellent results can be achieved. In the past years I did game testing and made various suggestions for the games. It's always a bit a question of time, but if I find that time I'll happily will do game testing and provide various feedback regarding game play, graphics, sound, and more. ... As I said: If somebody wants to see my score pictures again, I will re-upload them... Your scores make me feel like a complete Vectrex looser. So I don't want to see them, again. Honestly, I had a quick look at most of the large images and checked the scores. The scores in the small thumbnails are often hard to see and in various cases the links do not work for some reason I don't know. Checking was not possible in those cases. What does this mean: - Chainsaw's scores are all valid. (No luck today, Malban ) - When posting future scores please make sure that the links work. After posting you can check your links and edit your post and correct the links if needed. |

Instead, I click my name in the upper border and access all the uploaded pictures. Then I choose "folder links" from the menu-bar that appears. From there I press "de-select all" and then hand pick the ones I want. I choose "BBcode" and "thumbnails" from the radio-buttons. Then I get text that I can cut and paste here that will give a thumbnail that will act as a link to the bigger picture on picload when clicked. |

I'm not sure about other people but I cannot access your large photos. :/ fmml 's links work fine. (e.g. picload.org/view/dcocogrg/img_7011.jpg.html) |

If my links doesn't work then it was very inappropriate that I made a guide on how to make them. :-)
I just assumed that using picloads own link generator would produce working results.
I will look into that right away.
Edit: I tried one of my links on my phone and it didn't work. When I tried the exact same link on the computer it worked. I don't know what I should change. The url to the larger image is the same format as in fmml's link to his picture.
Edit again: I have tried all my previous links now and all lead to the larger picture as they should, when I click the thumbnails. What happens when you click my thumbnails then?
