What's New?

Hey everyone, I have a new mod to show off!
This is the Escape Overlay:


Credit goes to LeetZero for the cool icons


At the most basic level, it is a fancy replacement for the default Escape Menu, but it is also so much more than that.  It is super customizable and lets users create custom buttons to some pretty cool stuff.  Instead of needing to remember twelve million different keybinds to open various GUIs, manage your field of view, or play tetris, you can make buttons on your Escape Overlay.  You can also open the Escape Overlay in the main menu, so you don't need to join a server to use it.

Additionally, mod developers can have buttons automatically placed on the overlay with just a few lines of code, just like making a keybind.  Both TMBI and the File Manager create such buttons.  Just place something like the following in your code:
Code: [Select]
$neoName[$neoCount] = "Button Name";
$neoCmd[$neoCount] = "my_command();";
$neoIcon[$neoCount] = "add-ons/my_addon/icon.png"; //defaults to a question mark otherwise
$neoCount++;
And you are good to go!

Some more pictures I put together


Creating a Custom Command



More right click Context Menus!



An extensive Options Menu



There is no such thing as too much customization


Without further ado, I present:

About the NARGS

Rykuta [4523] - Team Captain - Possibly a furry
Nexus [4833] - Team Mascot - Probably likes Mudkips

NARG was originally started as Rykuta's site for his add-ons, in particular his weapon sets.  Soon after, his buddy Nexus joined the team and they sat idly by for a long time not really doing anything at all.  Suddenly, Nexus and Rykuta decide to start making Add-Ons, and thus this Exa-Thread was born.

F.A.Q.

Question:
Did you take latency into account, especially with floating bricks?

Answer:
Yes.  BuildBot works on a tick based system where it waits for a response from the server to determine whether or not each brick plant was successful or not.  Unsuccessful plants will be put back onto the build list to be retried.  That way, if a brick is floating because the supporting bricks below it have not been placed, it wont be ignored.


Question:
Wait what the.. so ANYONE can load ANY save in ANY server?

Answer:
You bet.
Of course, with the exceptions of people that do not have BuildBot and saves that are missing enough bricks not to work.  BuildBot cannot plant bricks in the air.


Question:
good for u but has anyone seen spiderman DECALS if so give mah da link

Answer:
This is the best face ever made.


Question:
Won't work for me.

Answer:
Anything this vague does not deserve an answer.
An acceptable bug report will include the following:
 - What you were trying to do
 - Were you using most current version
 - What exactly did not work
 - Did the console tell you anything about the issue


Question:
I still want a mod to break this completely.

Answer:
The only difference between a client building and BuildBot building is that BuildBot builds faster.  It is absolutely impossible for the server to reliably tell if the client is using buildbot.  If you make a check for how fast the client is building, then the server would think the client is using BuildBot if they hold down the enter button and move the ghost brick.  The only thing the server is able to do is disable building altogether.
You are probably a terrible host if you are unable to cope with people using BuildBot in your server.  Here is a simple 3 step process for dealing with BuildBot.
1. BuildBot can't build instanly, or even very fast half the time.  Ask them to stop the load if you really do not want them to use BuildBot.
2. If they refuse to stop, clear their bricks and ban them.
3. Get admins to perform steps 1 and 2 in your absence.


Question:
When will you make a event function that will add the events in your save?

Answer:
Event loading has been implemented, but only sort of.  I am aware that the current system is extremely buggy and hard to use, but no one is reporting this to me which leads me to conclude that nobody uses it anyway.

What I am looking for in an application:
 - Contanct information
    - Email
    - Forum account
    - BL_ID
 - How much you play BL
    - What Times (do you live in china and usualy play BL when its 3am for me?)
 - How much you know about scripting/modeling
 - Qualifications/Previous work

Please answer the following literary competence question:
To what extent do violent video games influence our society?

This is a test to see how well you can communicate your thoughts and ideas.  The responsibility of a beta tester is to be able to report things that they may not fully understand as best they can, and a solid communication ability is critical.
Explain why you believe what you believe and show reasoning behind it.  Imagine you are arguing against someone who firmly believes exactly the opposite.  Refute what they might say and be clear about why they should think as you do.

I think there is a client command for that.
It would be helpful if nexus gave it to us.

I think 0 is just North.
