Rock Patch 2 announced!
Subject description: VK has a big competition in his way!
PaD has recently announced the Rock Patch 2.0, which is a community patch to expand the moddability of the game, in the same standard of NPatch. It's really the first time I hear about competition in this area.
Rock Patch 2 is being made from scratch, so while it doesn't include the old Rock Patch code, it will have most (if not all) of its features, as well as some new neat features like custom foundations (look picture below).
Modifications made for NPatch will not be totally compatible with Rock Patch 2, since the standards of custom strings, new superweapons and cursors might be different from NPatch. Also, PaD is testing it a lot before sending it to public, so expect slow, but stable releases from it, once it's up.
Here's some teasers:
Custom building foundations for the sake of the awesomeness.
You'll need this tool to make custom building foundations.
Another sweet feature: coloured magnetic beams.
For more information with the full speech, check this topic. Remember, it will be released when it's done... probably in 2008, but never trust crystal balls. QUICK_EDIT

Hell yea! I always wanted some nifty colored magnetic beans! I'm guessing you meant beams?
Anyways, this sounds great. I hope to see some awesome stuff come from this in the future. _________________ Kalistia Crestland (2)

Go Pd! Hyper and I have been waiting for this announcement, awesome that it's official now. Best of luck to you in all your future endevours _________________ QUICK_EDIT
those colored beams are going to be pretty useless unless there can be some kind of gradient or glow effect to them otherwise they look like someone just drew a fat line on the screenshots in mspaint. QUICK_EDIT
