Week 52
December 21st - December 27th
AlwaysGu tried to use BallanceBlenderHelper on macOS’s Blender 2.91. BallanceBlenderHelper is a blender plugin which is created by yyc12345 and served for creating Ballance map in Blender. AlwaysGu use Steam’s Blender 2.91 on macOS, but the plugin couldn’t loaded. Due to this plugin’s developer don’t have any Apple devices and he are not familar with Apple device operation, he couldn’t provide any help for AlwaysGu. So, finally, AlwaysGu couldn’t run this plugin on macOS.
By the way, although this plugin only support LTS version of Blender, BallanceLover test this plugin on Windows, Blender 2.90. It works pretty nice. This plugin author have strong belief that macOS cause this problem, not the improper plugin design.
In common, at the end of the year, the Chinese Balanced Community will summarize the year. In this year, plAer-2 take responsibility for this work. In the past few days, he post some of his report in Chinese Ballance Community(not the final version).

Zzq_203 released his new custom map: A Little Journey (小小的旅途).
According to author’s statement, this map was finished within 24 hours and it was be used in testing his new mapping working flow. He used his MAplus to create this map and have great efficiency improve in Virtools mapping.
This is a scripted custom map. He said this map is focus on logic but it is easy to solve. But some extra life and point’s position are ridiculous. The most attractive spot is the portal like elements. It only allows the corresponding player ball to pass them.
He also said this is the last custom map for him before his college entrance examination.
MAplus is a Action package for Virtools which is served for Ballance mapping. It contains some useful tools, such as better align tool.
Some community members reply this topic. The people who test this map previously said this map is comfortable, relaxing and feels like the tune lingered in the room. The most of people praise the author for this map’s extraordinary logic design.
It has been more than 2 months since the last custom map release.

Also, he found the Ballance with BML couldn’t be launched on Crossover, it will result in a black screen freeze.
plAer-2 found a new speedrun host platform, TNA. According to website description, it is created by a Chinese and will can be stablely visited in future. It is alluring for plAer-2. He wanted to migrate all Chinese Speedrun Leaderboard to this website. Currently, these data were hosted on Ballance Wiki. He post his advise in Chinese Ballance Administration Group and it raise a sharp argument.
Someone said, BML Mod can upload record in future, especially Swung’s creation is close to usable state. It is increase useless migrate things and learning cost. Somebody considered the stability of host website should be treate carefully. Don’t dismiss the possibility that the host can drop all database and disappear suddenly.
At the tail of this argument. Swung said his score system are on going and hope it can be tested in winter vacation.

AlwaysGu was shocked because the records in these videos are no worse than the current records.

At the same time, he asked BallanceBug whether these results need to be written into Chinese Ballance Speedrun Leaderboard. BallanceBug replied that he was not sure, because he felt that the current leaderboard is mostly used by Chinese Ballance Community.
