Some cool ideas

[IsraeliRD]

I need RM and Phil or Jase code and create 2 quick ideas:

RM : Please add in an Ultimate Time in the scoreboard, so that you have Par Time, Platinum Time and Ultimate Time. I wanna add in some challenge for players who play MBP

RM+Jase/Phil: Make a Start sign Like the finish sign that says Finish Here, but this one says: Start Here

Just an idea

1. Expect soon. What color should it be? Purple?
2. Can do coding, but not the sign

[robotmarble]

Ummmm Where is the file with gold time and quilfy time in it I can't find it anywhere?

[technostick]

In my opinion, adding a new time parameter will be very difficult, as it affects the way in which .mis files are read. (An .mis file would have to contain a line describing UltimateTime = )

[robotmarble]

And this is hard why? You can delete the god time line in the .mis file and it rases from the scroreboard.

goldTime is in fact Platinum Time. Therefore, it will NOT be deleted. All MBP missions should have Platinum Time and Ultimate Time, so what I'm asking for is an addition of a 5th line

The file with the times is found in one of the scripts.. It is called game.cs

here's the code in it

That settles it, then!

Wait, How do you change the properties? There is nothing, but the appearance scripts there you could use that to change Nardo Polo to Matan and Gold to platnuim, but nothing else.
