Hold onto your hats... this one's a big one... 👀

PR2 v164: Blocks of Options

This update contains a significant new game mechanic, a new block, and some bug fixes.

Changes/Additions
- The object deletion button in the LE is a lot cleaner now. The "X" no longer extends past the bounds of the button.
- The LE testing mode stats sliders now update when a stat block is bumped. They also reset to your saved stats when you restart or the next time you test.
- Players can now see their stats in-game. They appear under the course timer. Mousing over the stats display will show a small pop-up.
- BLOCK OPTIONS!!! Certain blocks now have things called block options, which are basically block-specific settings. You can access the block options menu for blocks that have them using this button. These currently include stat blocks and item blocks.
- CUSTOM ITEM BLOCKS!!! As mentioned above, block options are enabled for all item blocks. It's been a long time coming. Thanks for the suggestion, @Odin0030!
- NEW BLOCK!!! There's a new block called a Custom Stats Block. It looks like this. Players that bump this block will have their stats set to what you specify (default is 50-50-50, changeable via block options). You can also set it to reset the stats of the player back to those with which they started the course.

Fixes
- An issue with move blocks has been solved. This is weirdly technical and regular players didn't see it, but it kinda annoyed beta testers for a bit. Thanks to @Eternal for the report!
- The slight speed boost given with the santa hat no longer disappears after a speed burst expires or a stat-modifying block is hit. Thanks for the report, @bi3liu!
- Rotating and restarting when testing your level doesn't break things anymore. This change goes with a few other tweaks to the restart procedure to make it more stable (e.g., resetting stats, clearing the current item, etc). Thanks for reporting this, @bart172!

ICYMI
(In case you missed it)
- Temporary parts and rank tokens now expire as intended. Thanks to @Colind for reporting this!
- Level searching has been greatly improved. Thanks to @Dexterity for outlining this for me!
- A bunch of epic upgrades not previously obtainable have been made obtainable. Read more about it here!

Here's the Motley Monday episode for this update!

when you search in the box for a word and click a thread it'll highlight the word you searched
if a spoiler has a name set and it includes this highlighted word, the spoiler breaks (doesn't work)

e.g. try searching for "epic" and click the "obtainability of epic upgrades" thread

Pretty much on some occasions when I’m tagging players their name disappears and I’m left with an at sign. It’s quite hard to recreate since it happens inconsistently but when it does it can be infuriating since  it normally doesnt work until after like 10 attempts of attempting to tag the player.

I’m aware I’m not the only person this happens to so if anyone else knows more about this bug then feel free to share it below 👍

We have one on pr2hub, we had one on Kongregate, why not add one in game? I was thinking it could be placed next to the guild tab or near the options at the bottom?

Having a leaderboard within PR2 could be a cool feature and much easier then going to an external source (well, off the game client anyway).

Additional ideas could be a leaderboard by hat count and maybe in the future, further stat tracking such as finishes bumped etc (i know that's unlikely but just throwing random ideas out there)

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.

At the moment, there are 3 sets of keys that will work simultaneously in PR2 for movement

1) Regular arrow keys
2) Custom keys (set to WASD by default)
3) Numpad arrow keys

On most laptop and USB keyboards, numpad arrows are found on 8426, which is a pretty inconvenient configuration, even for a two-handed player. It would be cool if you could change the numpad configuration in your options for a better experience.

As of now, even if you modify your custom keys, which is option 2, to be the numpad numbers (for example num5, num1, num2 and num3), the option 3 numpad arrow keys will supersede this setting and go back to its default configuration, and instead you'll end up with regular number keys being set as your custom keys.

N.B.: this suggestion is probably only useful for me cause I'm a silly noob   with a broken keyboard

i have returned back to the pr2 community for some time i dont know when i plan om leaving again
