...how well some members who were previously on JV are doing. 

Am i the only person who feels like I’m kind of stuck? I always seem to revisit this site but I can’t tell why. No offense to Bls, the moderator staff or active community members- but i dont really feel any connection like i did when i was younger. So why do i keep visiting and pondering? Does anyone else relate?

I always assume (or hope) old users from JV have developed into people they wanted to be and they are living their best life. Particularly those who have moved on and never visit or keep contact anymore. 
A somewhat relevant experience i had was that I once messaged Ross on Steam (out of complete random, i was never very close with Ross) to say hello. We talked briefly about the old members and who we keep in contact with today! We did also mention some names of users we both had no idea where they went... could they even be alive? 
We ended on wishing the best for each other, and we both agreed it felt strange to even think about the old days, even for that brief conversation

Sometimes it seems surreal to think ive been on JV for over 10 years. It almost feels like it’s a part of my life I can’t let go, but i’m certainly thankful for it in a strange way. I’m a completely different person than who I was back then and I do feel it’s even helped shape me in some ways... still, I can’t help but feel there is something i can’t explain that brings me back every once in a blue moon...

Perhaps this is more of a blog post, as it’s me mumbling on about things without point LOL
but I’m hoping that some of you can relate, i would love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers

Kind of hard to do

No idea if it's an actual bug but this doesn't feel intended. Whenever you rotate (I only tested with right rotate block) you don't seem to be able to go through safety nets even though they have a solid block under them. I don't know the requirements for the feature to work but there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between when you rotate and don't

Welcome to Speedrunner of the Week, a contest tailored for the fastest players in Platform Racing 2! We have the racers, the fast racers, and those who are above them all: Speedrunners. Do you have what it takes to become a Speedrunner?

• Each week a new level is given a target time and expert time for contestants to beat. If you complete the target time you get 1 point added onto your total score. If you are super speedy and also manage to complete the expert time you will gain 1 extra point, bringing your total to 2 just from beating the set times.
  
  
• You can also gain points if you place in a podium spot against your competitors: if you set the fastest time that week you will gain 3 points, if you come in with the second fastest time you will get 2 points, and if you set the third fastest time you will get 1 extra point. Make note however, you will only be granted these podium points if you have beaten the target time.
  
  
• Submissions will close on Sunday 12:00AM EDT. Be sure to convert this time into your own timezone if necessary to avoid any late submissions!
  

• Any runs that have been posted after the submission date will not be counted for that week. Please note that Sunday 12:00AM EDT is your deadline and not when I post the "submission's closed" comment on the thread.
  
  
• You are allowed to submit as many runs as necessary; you are not just limited to one.
  
  
• You are not allowed to use any form of hacks or TAS in your submitted run, doing so will get you banned from participating in any further SOTW events.
  
  
• Any form of glitching which wasn't intended by the creator of the level will not be allowed. If you are unsure whether a glitch is allowed or not, feel free to ask me in a thread post or through Discord.
  
  
• You are not allowed to involve multiple players in your speedrun. however, you are allowed to have someone spectate you for any assistance purposes such as recording runs.
  
  
• In the event of a level with 'Super Flying Cowboy Mode' (SFCM): unless the level uses this mode as a hat remover or if the level specifically requires the use of SFCM, all runs that have this mode enabled must be reset. Any runs that have this mode enabled when it's prohibited will be voided.
  
  
• You are only allowed to use up to 195 stat points (Rank 45).
  
  
• You are not allowed to use any hats which may affect the time of the speedrun. Hats which you are allowed to use include: Exp Hat, Kong Hat, Party Hat, Jigg Hat, Thief Hat and the Jellyfish Hat.
  
  
• You are allowed to get the stat advantages from any of the stat blocks around the level.

Hello everybody, the title of the thread basically says it all.. but it'd be neat if you can control how many times you can bump a finish block before it 'darkness out'. 

For example; In objective trapwork maps, when you finish '1 level' of the map there's a finish block that you'll have to bump then go onto the next level. 

The idea is that the creator can choose how many times a player has to bump a finish block before it 'darkness out', if that's either 1 to whatever # of times he/she want them to hit/bump before going to the next 'level' of the trapwork. 

I don't know how to enter a pic/drawing that I did on my pc to jv2 but here's a screenshot of what the option page can be for the finish block (first time using paint, I know I suck at drawing); https://prnt.sc/1588qlm

Another idea (part 2 I guess) that I had for this.. whatever # you choose from 1 to 999 and once you hit that finish you'll automatically get that # of 'bumps'. 

For example; If you make Newbieland 2 by Jiggmin into a objective racing map, say you set two more finish block into the map..

You place the 1st finish block at the start of the map and it's set to '10', so it's worth 10 finish block, 2nd finish block you place is when you're going up the wall, that one is worth '10' finish block. The last finish block is where it usually at in the end of the map, that one is worth '20' finish block

I hope this make sense to you guys & thanks for reading .

In level editor I tried to do the bomb trick where you place the bomb inside the starting block to remove hats however I noticed that one of the starting blocks vanished (The nr 1 block). I thought it was a visual bug but after saving the game it appears to be completely gone and whenever I test my level I always start from the 2:nd starting block (The nr 2 block). I don't seem to be able to get it back and I can't undo since I already saved.

I just got an extra Bat Set (with epic upgrades) that I don't need, and dumping it on an alt I never use seems pointless, considering it's a pretty rare set...

I'm currently sitting around 63.5M F@h points, so if anyone is interested in helping me get closer to 100M, I'd glady trade the set

I don't want this to be a quick ''first come first served'' kind of thing, so I'll take bids until Monday. Highest possible bid would be around 36.5M points, so unless someone has already posted for that amount (in which case I guess they win automatically ?), feel free to bid anything in between

And please don't randomly start folding in hope for a set unless the results are clear and announced, I only got one. I'll give out the set once the folding is ongoing ^^

Problem: Editing teleport blocks causes the paintbrush tool to be selected if it has been selected previously

Type of Problem: [?]

Expected Behaviour: it to not happen

Actual Behaviour: but it does

Steps to Reproduce the Problem: Place a teleport block in the block layer, go to an art layer of your choice, select the paintbrush tool, go back to the block layer and change the colour of the tele block, now after you exit the colour picker you'll have the paintbrush selected and will draw in the previous art layer you were on. This stays with you and through all the layers until you select a block or stamp or something of that nature. Going to Block, BG or Setting tab will draw on the last art layer you were on.
It's hard to fully explain so I have made a vid and posted to JV2 discord server (link below)

Additional Information (pics/vids are welcome and encouraged!): https://discord.com/channels/52867952270...1745877062

I had to make the vid poor quality so it could fit in 8mb (I probably overdid it lol) but the bug is clear to see in the video.

With the introduction of Teleport Blocks, the potential for PR2 to incorporate complex designs has increased astronomically. One of the first things that came to mind for me was the possibility of making Turing-complete programs in PR2 (explanation of Turing completeness here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPQD7-AOjMI).

The requirements for Turing completeness are as follows:

• Arbitrary memory that allows for reading and writing of data
  
• Conditional branching
