== My Version Numbering ==

== My Works ==
The version numbering of my tracks works a bit differently than what you're probably used to, especially if you follow [[Version_number|this]].

'''bol2kmp''': A set of tools that assist in the conversion between the .BOL File Format and the .KMP File Format. Currently for private use only.
In my world, they can only be within one of these two stages of development:
+
 
* Release Candidate - When I first release a track to the general public, I mark it as a release candidate. Version numbering in this stage works like so: A track is given the version numbering format RCX.Y, where X is an unsigned integer representing the major version and Y is an unsigned integer representing the minor version. Every time a track is updated, the major version increments only if the track's solidity changes (making it incompatible with previous versions online). Otherwise, the minor version increments instead. The minor version can be hidden if it's a 0. A track will continue to stay in this stage until development reaches a point that requires me to completely scrap the original source files of the track and start anew. When that happens, the track version will be promoted to the next stage.
+
'''Custom Sets''': A set of features that alter how certain items behave on a track.<br>
* Final Version - Version numbering in this stage works differently than it did in the previous stage and it now follows the format vX.Y, where X is an unsigned integer representing the major version and Y is an unsigned integer representing the minor version. If the change log of the next version only features bug fixes or minor changes then the minor version is incremented. Otherwise, the major version is incremented. The minor version is never hidden.
+
''Current Custom Sets: DIR (Dual Item Routes), FEI (Flight Enabled Item), RSC (Red Shell Cannon), SRS (Slick Red Shell)''
PS: The initial numbering of the major version reflects what I think about the track at the beginning of each stage:
+
 
* 0 - Alpha.
+
'''GameGuard''': ''(abandoned)'' A set of modifications to CTGP Revolution that can be used to guard against prohibited glitches. There are several variants of GameGuard.
* 1 - Beta.
+
 
This may not necessarily apply in later versions of the track.
+
'''HackShield''': ''(abandoned)'' A set of modifications to CTGP Revolution that prevent freezing and upgrade GameGuard's ability to guard against prohibited glitches.

My Works

bol2kmp: A set of tools that assist in the conversion between the .BOL File Format and the .KMP File Format. Currently for private use only.

Custom Sets: A set of features that alter how certain items behave on a track.
Current Custom Sets: DIR (Dual Item Routes), FEI (Flight Enabled Item), RSC (Red Shell Cannon), SRS (Slick Red Shell)

GameGuard: (abandoned) A set of modifications to CTGP Revolution that can be used to guard against prohibited glitches. There are several variants of GameGuard.

HackShield: (abandoned) A set of modifications to CTGP Revolution that prevent freezing and upgrade GameGuard's ability to guard against prohibited glitches.
