It's a scary world outside... but inside? It's Motley Monday!

PR2 v159: Sharing is Caring

This update contains a bunch of new features and some bug fixes.

Changes/Additions

• You can now press and hold the control (Windows, CTRL) or command (Mac, ⌘) keys to temporarily switch to the delete tool in LE. This feature was previously in public beta. Thanks to @AspectZero for suggesting something like this!
  
• The "Last Updated" date for a level on the "?" hover popup is now directly under "Version". Such a small change that no one would've noticed it if I didn't say anything!
  
• Guild owners must now transfer their guild before leaving. This will prevent orphaned guilds.
  
• There is now a character count for the title/note when saving levels, as well as the send PM message box. Thanks to @Camer the Dragon for suggesting something like this!
  
• You can now disable certain songs you don't want to play during races in the options menu. YouTube's Content ID system crumbles at the feet of this one. Thanks to @Camer the Dragon for suggesting this!
  
• You can now search for a level by level ID. It's a new option in the "Search by" dropdown on the search tab. Also, the "Course Title" option was renamed to "Level Title" for continuity.
  
• Levels now have their own information popup. If you click the "?" next to the rating stars, you'll get a popup with a bunch of level information (including but not limited to the song, items, and chance of cowboy mode). You can also access this by typing "/level level ID" in the chat.
  
• Levels can now be shared via the level information popup. No more losing levels; send them to friends (or yourself) with ease by clicking the green button on the left!
  
• Levels listed in the part information popups now use the new level information popups. Find part-giving levels with ease!
  
• PMs now support a whole bunch of things they didn't before. Here are the new commands:
  
  Code:

  [user]Username[/user] -> Link to a user
[guild]Guild Name[/guild] -> Link to a guild
[level=*]Level Name[/level] -> Link to a level (where * is the ID of the level).
[url]link[/url] -> Link to an external URL. You can also do [url=link]text[/url] if you want custom display text.

The following aliases for existing commands were added:
[guildlink=*]text[/guildlink] -> [guild=*]text[/guild] (where * is the ID of the guild)
[b]bold text[/b] -> [bold]bold text[/bold]
[large]large text[/large] -> [big]large text[/big]

• The LE now displays the correct background color all the time. Previously, it would erroneously show as black under certain circumstances.
  
• Both the level and author listed in how to obtain the slender parts are now correct. Previously, it showed Deliverance by -changelings- instead of -Deliverance- by changelings. Thanks to @Eternal for pointing this out to me!
  
• Clicking "Send PM" on a player profile will now select the message box properly. Previously, it would lose focus between closing the player popup and opening the send message one.
  
• The /hh chat command no longer screams about an invalid argument if you don't explicitly type either /hh or /hh status. There's no point in that. Thanks for mentioning this in the PR2 chat when you thought I wasn't looking, @Ashley766!
  

• Fix the pesky speed burst + cowboy hat walking bug. This bug apparently now occurs no matter if you're walking or not. Fun.
  
• Fix some of the vault code that's breaking things. I've briefly touched on this, but a lot of the vault code pertaining to guilds could be better constructed and is definitely due for a rewrite at some point.

Welp, all of NZ is in a 4 week total shutdown, noone allowed to leave their house. Thank god I work in IT & can work remotely but I'm still gonna have a lot of time to kill. 

Add me on steam? I'm probs gonna start hosting games on Table Top Simulator to pass the time

Hello!

Not really sure how many people use this forum or who, but we all probably have been deeply rooted in pr2 so that may mean that you might have seen me or at least knew I was around. It's always good to see Platform Racing 2 kicking, even if it is only a little. Anyway, In case you don't know who I am...

I really just wanted to say hello, long time no see, what not. I really miss the times a few years ago when I was playing Platform Racing 2 practically every day, participating in stupid things like clan wars for traps and what not. Pretty fun times on Xat, even if it was pretty toxic every now and then, I still enjoyed it. I wish I put more effort into meeting people on the JV community but I can't ask for anything more or less since I still had fun regardless. It's been nearly 10 years since I first joined pr2, which is pretty crazy. 

Now days I'm playing games on Steam and console games and what not, as well as studying IT in college as a full time online student atm. Yesterday someone reached out to me on Discord who I haven't seen in like 2 years and had a little friendly reunion on Kongregate and spent a little time playing pr2 with some old pals which was really nice. 

Couldn't really go without posting some kind of blog or something, but ye hope everyone is doing well, especially during these times when a lot of people are just freaking out.

Problem: When I refresh my tab with Remember Me on it makes me re-log.

Type of Problem: Possibly a server issue or a browser issue.

Expected Behavior: Should be able to refresh and close the tab and Remember Me will remember your login.

Actual Behavior: I refresh/close my tab and my login isn't saved.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem: Close/Refresh your tab with remember me on.

Additional Information (pics/vids are welcome and encouraged!): I'm using Google Chrome.

Hey guys!.. Karlene here, just decided to change my username to Jae, which most people call me IRL. Here to give ya'll a little update on my life. c:

Lately, I've been taking online classes as a full time student, currently studying Sports Administration with a minor in Marketing. Because of this, I've decided to take on assistant volleyball coaching to help get my name around the sports world, so we'll see how that goes! We travel about every weekend to different states so my weekends haven't been very free, but this will be over in June! I'm hoping to have an internship by this summer at my local university.

Also, I've started a full time job at a new local gym as a sales associate, so that definitely keeps me busy! I know I'm kinda giving all of you my life story... but I just wanted to explain why I've been so inactive lately! I'm going to try and do my best with being active again. It was very nice to talk with some of you guys today! Hope to see you around. <3
